Lu Chen's words were harsh and his attack was also very heavy. He wanted Cheng Chumo to change this bad habit!
There were only enemies on the battlefield, and the enemies had to die.
Being kind on the battlefield was really a death wish!
Cheng Chumo's eyes were a little confused. Lu Chen's words never seemed to be wrong, but he didn't remember them.
Lu Chen ignored him and ordered,""Li Dingzhong!"
"I'm here!"
Li Dingzhong, who was commanding the navy to encircle the Mountain Bandits and clean up the battlefield, immediately ran over when he heard Lu Chen calling him.
Li Dingzhong thought that the fiercest battle had ended. The next step was to clean up the battlefield, collect the spoils of war, and then return to court.
However, Lu Chen did not think so.
Lu Chen's face was gloomy, and his voice was cold and filled with killing intent.
"Seal off the entire Jilei Mountain. The navy will be divided into three teams. Seal off the front, back, and halfway up the mountain. Don't let any enemy escape!”
Lu Chen's words made the soldiers present have an ominous premonition. They could not help but swallow their saliva.
"This, Commander, what are we doing?"”
Lu Chen's answer was only two words,"Slaughter the mountain!"”
His voice was not loud, but his killing intent was already surging!
All the navy soldiers were completely shocked. More than half of the enemy troops were dead or injured, and those who survived were all seriously injured. They didn't have long to live. The battle had ended, and they had won the battle of Jilei Mountain.
At this time, he actually wanted to slaughter a mountain!
One had to know that for hundreds of years before the Zhenguan period, there had never been a massacre of a place, a city, or a village.
Jilei Mountain was very big. There were more than 5,000 people who had escaped just now.
Just as the navy soldiers were hesitating, Lu Chen's cold order came again.
" Move out immediately! Prepare to slaughter the mountain!"
"If you let anyone go, you will be punished by military law!”
If today was just an ordinary battle, perhaps Lu Chen would not be so ruthless.
But the people of the Great Tang on Jilei Mountain had betrayed the Great Tang, colluded with outsiders, and slaughtered their own kind.
These traitors who had no sense of belonging to their own race had the blood of the Han people flowing in their veins. They were treated like dogs by the foreigners while biting their former compatriots. They were even more hateful than the real foreign barbarians and deserved to die.
Kindness doesn't lead to war. This wasn't empty talk. It was a bloody lesson that the Chinese people had learned over thousands of years!
Moreover, the Tang Navy under Lu Chen's command did not need mercy. What they needed was blood, battle, obedience, and military orders.
Soon, after receiving Lu Chen's order, the navy immediately took action and sealed off the entire Jilei Mountain.
What followed was a one-sided massacre. The Mountain Bandits had been forced to flee in the first head-on battle. They could not muster the courage to resist at all.
The massacre lasted for a long time. It started at dusk and ended the next morning.
For the entire night, Jilei Mountain was filled with screams and screams.
The dark red blood dyed the trees, rocks, and rivers of Jilei Mountain red!
At dawn, the sky was bright, and the navy soldiers returned one after another. The massacre of the mountain had ended!
Now, all the navy soldiers had completely changed their appearance. It was as if they had crawled out of a lion mountain and a sea of blood. Their bodies were covered in blood, and they could not stop their killing intent!
"Commander, the slaughter of the mountain has ended. All the enemy troops have been wiped out!”
"This is the list of military merits for the battle at Jilei Mountain. Please review it!”
Among the crowd, General Li Dingzhong walked out like a bloody man and handed Lu Chen a booklet.
Lu Chen said to Zhang Sanping as he glanced at the military merit book and the navy soldiers.
"Read!"
After Zhang Sanping received the order, he immediately read it out loud.
"Navy soldier Zhang Yang, beheaded seven ranks, recorded as military merit, rewarded according to merit!”
"Navy soldier Li Wei, beheaded four ranks, recorded as military merit, rewarded according to merit!”
"Navy archer Feng Zhang, beheaded Level 5, recorded in the military, rewarded according to merit!”
……
Every time Yang Dingzhong called out the name of a navy soldier, someone would come out and salute with cupped fists.
The military merits of these people were obtained by killing the enemy's heads.
Yang Dingzhong suddenly shouted.
" Navy soldier Li Feng neglected his duty and let go of two bandits from Jilei Mountain…"
At this point, Li Dingzhong's voice suddenly raised a little. Lu Chen, who had been listening quietly, also looked over and frowned.
"Go over there yourself and receive a hundred sticks!”
Lu Chen roared out this sentence!
The soldier whose name was called did not defend himself. He stepped out of the line and walked to the side.
No one from the Internet Water Army stepped forward to plead for mercy. This did not mean that they did not have any feelings for him, but military law and orders were like mountains!
There was nothing else, the law was merciless!
Lu Chen continued," The military discipline of the Great Tang Navy is simple. Obey orders. Merits will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished!”
" If you want to exchange for battle credits, enjoy wealth, honor your ancestors, or leave a good fortune for your descendants, you must fight and make contributions!”
"An inch of military merit is an inch of blood. This is the iron law of the Great Tang Navy!”
These words were like a clap of thunder, resounding in everyone's hearts.
After this battle, no one dared to be unconvinced by Lu Chen. This was because Lu Chen had shown countless times what a commander who could lead a lion through hundreds of battles should be like!
"The commander is mighty, the navy will win!"
"The navy is mighty, we won't retreat even if we fight to the death!"
For a moment, the angry roars of the Internet Water Army spread throughout the entire Jilei Mountain.
This motley army that had been almost abandoned by the Great Tang had been reborn.
At this moment, Cheng Chumo stepped forward and saluted Lu Chen.
"Commander-in-chief, I've already completely recognized my mistake. I shouldn't be soft-hearted on the battlefield. Please accept a hundred military batons as a reminder!”
Lu Chen turned around and looked at Cheng Chumo.”
As the saying goes, the emperor's crimes were the same as the dawn's crimes. For the second generation of officials like Chen Chumo, the rewards were all equal, but the punishment had to be higher than that of ordinary soldiers.
Cheng Chumo went to lead the army. Lu Chen called Li Dingzhong over.
"I'll give you two things to do. First, immediately send someone to search for the bandits hiding in Jilei Mountain. There must be more enemies in the dark. Find them all and kill them!”
" Second, immediately send out a Red Feather Messenger. Change into a fast horse and go to the nearest city first, then go straight to Chang 'an!”
After Li Dingzhong received the order, he immediately went to make arrangements.
Lu Chen stood in place and pondered. He had won the battle at Jilei Mountain with lightning speed. Next, he would have to ask Li Er for a reward. He definitely couldn't ask for less.
Soon, at dawn, more than a dozen red-feathered messengers rode fast horses and rushed to the nearest Heluo City!
