Chapter 2195 Placement of prisoners of war

On the Wei army, Qian Jin sent some troops and continued to pursue the Shu army that had escaped from the encirclement.

However, Qian Jin quickly gave up because it became dark soon, and it became very difficult to continue chasing. Moreover, there was no Wei army team ahead to respond. If the army went deeper alone, it would be easy to be counterattacked by the Shu army.

Besides, the Wei army had already won a great victory in this battle, and wiped out the vast majority of the Shu army. It was a great success in blocking the Shu army's return to Xiling.

Next, Qian Jin will obey the order, evacuate the battlefield of Baisha Tsui, lead Pinghu Camp to Xiling City, and launch an attack on Xiling City from the east to cooperate with Pingjiang Camp's siege.

So Qian Jin did not stay too much in Baisha Tsui, but ordered the Wei army to quickly clean the battlefield so that he could free up more time to go to Xiling as soon as possible.

However, for Qian Jin, the biggest difficulty comes from thousands of surrendered Shu troops. According to the Wei army's prisoners of war policy, Qian Jin must properly resettle these prisoners of war, and in the meantime, the food supply and life safety of prisoners of war must be ensured, and at the same time, the prisoners of war cannot escape or mutiny.

There were quite a few Wei army prisoners captured by Pinghu Camp this time. This battle killed more than 9,000 enemies, and the surrendered prisoners alone reached more than 8,000. It can be said that the Shu army was almost the same as raising the army this time.

With such a high surrender rate, it is no wonder that the Wei army could end the battle in such a quick time. Ning Sui's troops actually did two things within half an hour, one was to escape and the other was to surrender. As for resistance and battle, it was almost the same as never before.

The management of surrendered troops naturally became a big problem. If the management is not good, it is very easy to cause mutiny and escape. In this regard, Qian Jin is completely inexperienced.

Even when fighting, the big girl was in the sedan chair - for the first time, Qian Jin was actually very lucky. When he met Ning Sui, he was afraid before the battle, and fled, which meant that this victory was picked up for nothing.

But the number of prisoners of war at once was really difficult for Qian Jin. After all, Qian Jin won the ambush now, which does not mean that the mission has ended. He still needs to arrive at Xiling as soon as possible and participate in the siege of Xiling.

Cao Liang arranged Pinghu Camp to Baisha Tsui with the purpose of blocking Ning Sui's reinforcements. As long as Qian Jin can successfully defeat Ning Sui's troops, there will be no need to worry about the emergence of the Shu army along the east route.

Although there are two Shu troops in Qiting and Huyashan, they are under great pressure to defend now, and it is impossible for them to mobilize troops to rescue Xiling.

On the contrary, after the successful blockade, Pinghu Camp can draw out most or all of its troops to reinforce Pingjiang Camp and jointly attack Xiling City.

With the troops of Pingjiang Camp, even if the firepower support of battleships and catapults is provided, it is very difficult to capture Xiling City. After all, the Shu army has tens of thousands of troops in Xiling City. Even if Pingjiang Camp breaks through the walls of Xiling City, Jiang Wei will not give up Xiling easily, and will inevitably launch a desperate street battle.

After entering the street fighting, the Wei army lost the support of the catapult. With the Shu army occupying the advantage of the city's geographical advantage, it was not easy for Pingjiang Camp to take down Xiling.

After all, the opponent of Pingjiang Camp is the scheming Jiang Wei and his personal guards. Pingjiang Camp is just a completely new battlefield army. It is the first time to experience the baptism of actual combat. When the troops of both sides are almost equal, the chance of winning is really not great.

Therefore, if you want to win, you must suppress the Shu army in terms of military strength. At present, the two infantry that the Wei army can pose a threat to Xiling City are the Pingjiang Camp and Pinghu Camp, and Pinghu Camp will mainly be responsible for the task of attacking and aiding.

Only after the aid mission is completed will Pinghu Camp have the opportunity to return to Xiling and participate in the battle in Xiling City.

Therefore, the tasks of Pinghu Camp are actually quite heavy, but compared with the arduous siege task of Pingjiang Camp, it is relatively easy to achieve.

Especially the reserve team led by Ning Sui was originally a miscellaneous army, which was the ultimate combat effectiveness of the Shu army. As long as the Pinghu Battalion performs at a normal level, it is relatively simple to complete the blocking task.

The entire ambush was indeed as Cao Liang predicted. Ning Sui's army collapsed without fighting and was made into dumplings by Pinghu Camp, causing heavy losses.

Qian Jin is worried about nothing else, but how to deal with so many prisoners of war in the Shu army? In the battle of Pinghu Camp, there were too many prisoners of Shu army. They annihilated 9,000 enemies, and there were 8,000 prisoners of war alone. The Wei army's prisoner camp was crowded.

This is probably a kind of happy trouble!

Pinghu Camp still has a mission and needs to rush to Xiling as soon as possible. It is impossible to waste more time on dealing with prisoners of war. However, if so many prisoners of war are unattended or the staff are not enough, it is easy for the Shu army to mutiny and escape successfully.

The surrender of the Shu army was not willing. They made a forced choice when the situation was critical. If the Wei army relaxed, it would not rule out that these Shu soldiers would riots.

How to properly handle these prisoners of war is the most difficult thing before Qianjin.

According to the Wei army's prisoner-of-war policy, Qian Jin could not abuse and kill prisoners of war at will, so the murder of surrendered soldiers like Bai Qi would never exist in the Wei army. If Qian Jin dared to disobey the military order and killed prisoners without authorization, he would not be just a small lieutenant, even a hero of the level of the navy governor Wang Jun would not be able to keep his head.

As for Qian Jin, even if he borrowed a hundred courages, he would never kill a prisoner of war, let alone eight thousand people?

The 8,000 prisoners of war in the Shu army became Qian Jin's most troublesome thing. If a large number of people were left to guard the guards, the number of people from Pinghu Camp to Xiling would definitely be greatly reduced, which would have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of Pinghu Camp.

At this moment, Wang Jun sent people to inspect the battle situation of Pinghu Camp and was very happy to see that Pinghu Camp won a great victory. Qian Jin told him about how to deal with the 8,000 prisoners of war. The visitor immediately promised to report to Wang Jun and hand it over to Wang Jun for handling.

When Wang Jun heard the news of the great victory of Pinghu Camp, a stone fell to the ground. As for the issue of prisoners of war, Wang Jun thought about it. It was nothing. Anyway, the warships transporting the Marine Corps were now empty, and these prisoners of war were taken on the ship and sent to Jiangling. Isn’t this problem perfectly solved?
