As mentioned earlier, generals are the soul of soldiers, and soldiers are the courage of generals! Losing the Goguryeo defenders who are the chief generals is almost like losing their souls. Although they are determined to kill the enemy, they are powerless to turn things around.

Without unified command, the grassroots officers below were all in their own way. Some wanted to compress the formation and a larger buffer space in the air to reorganize defense; some wanted to take their soldiers to rush up to avenge the dead Jin Xiangdong; some wanted to pull them back to the city and use the familiar city environment to fight the Tang army.

One hundred people, when facing difficulties, even one hundred and one thought will appear, and it is precisely because of this that the loss of Anshi Chengnan City is destined to become inevitable.

The sky gradually dimmed, and the battle that lasted for a day was almost over. There were no shadows of Goguryeo people on the entire southern city wall. Some of them who were seriously injured and not dead for a short time were moaning in pain, while those who were alive were huddling in the corners of the wall, trembling, waiting for the verdict of fate.

"Order Chu Mo, Chu Liang and others to organize defenses, clear out some of the buildings in the city, and carry the wounded soldiers in. No matter how good the conditions outside the city are, it is not as good as the city. Don't die in battle and end up freezing to death." Li Chengqian knocked on his already numb legs, feeling a little depressed.

After a war, he knew what a general was to achieve success and traumatize his bones. Although he had made enough preparations for this war, after taking down the city wall, nearly a thousand people were still killed in battle when counting the damage, and countless injured people were injured.

How many people died in Goguryeo Li Chengqian didn't want to care about it. Without the food and clothing of his own people, the enemy had nothing to do with him. Even if he died, he would not feel sorry for him.

Anyway, this land will be taken back to the Tang Dynasty to divide. The more people in the Goguryeo died, the more people in the Tang Dynasty will divide. Anyway, the more people in the land will be that big, of course, the fewer people in the distribution, the better.

After some trouble, the two old elders Cheng and his men opened the city gate from Anshi City, put down the suspension bridge, and put the rescue vehicle that had been waiting in line outside.

"June Jun, June June let us go. If you drive us out in a cold day, it will be so cold." As soon as you entered the city, Li Chengqian, who was following the rescue vehicle, heard the continuous begging.

It was the Goguryeo people who were driven away. Their houses had been requisitioned by the Liaodong Legion. On the cold weather, the homeless people kept begging to try to get back to their houses.

Li Chengqian, whose mind was full of groans of wounded soldiers, was upset by the noise and pulled Li Siwen beside him and said, "Take them to dig a hole outside the city so that it won't be cold!"

"Ah? You, did you bury these people?" Li Siwen's face, which was originally red with excitement, changed suddenly and asked hesitantly.

"I'm asking them to exercise. Aren't they afraid that they will be frozen to death? If that's the case, then work!" Li Chengqian did not explain too much about digging a hole, but it was obvious that in ancient times, there would generally be no good things.

"Gao Ming, you should think about it again. These people..., these people cannot be killed. Killing will have a great impact on you in the future." Li Siwen hesitated for a long time, lowered his voice and persuaded Li Chengqian.

Whether in ancient times or modern times, killing prisoners will not have any good comments. As for massacre of the people, it is even more a manifestation of great crimes. Even if you have great achievements in military affairs, you will inevitably be impeached. In the end, you may end up being ruined.

It was because Li Siwen was worried about this that he kept persuading Li Chengqian to think seriously and not to destroy his future because of a momentary impulse.

"What I need is Goguryeo's territory, not their population. You look at these people with pity, but do you know that they are probably transporting supplies to the city to the top of the city half a day ago?"

"We are still standing on the territory of Goguryeo. I don't mind speculating on their minds with the most vicious thoughts, so... execute the order."

Li Chengqian could have ordered the killing of 50,000 Goguryeo slaves without hesitation, and now he can naturally kill these annoying guys in front of him without hesitation.

As for the reasons? He can find many.

Of course, maybe when you return to Chang'an in the future, you will face condemnation from countless people, but so what? As long as the old man doesn't want to mess with him, he will never fall.

What the old man has done recently, Li Chengqian is not unaware of what he has done. With Lao Cui's "golden finger", Li Chengqian doesn't have to worry about his lack of information.

Thinking of Cui Yu's report on the strange face these days, Li Chengqian had the urge to laugh, and at the same time, he also felt helpless about the old man's childish show-off behavior.

The noisy crowd was finally taken away. Under the sharp steel knife, all the Goguryeo people closed their mouths, secretly regretting why they didn't escape quickly just now.

Given that the Liaodong Legion did not immediately launch a massacre after entering the city, it drove the Goguryeo civilians to the Goguryeo controlled area.

This situation caused some misunderstanding to the Goguryeo people, who thought that the Tang Dynasty would not raise a butcher knife to them, the civilians, and the massacre of the city at the beginning was just to scare them. Therefore, these driven civilians gathered together to ask for an explanation, but unexpectedly, they took their lives into it.

In fact, Li Chengqian was not very enthusiastic about the massacre of the city. In nature, he was not a cold-blooded person.

But don’t forget that this was in the Tang Dynasty, in ancient times more than 600 AD. Although the people here were not ignorant, they could not be said to be very open-minded.

As the saying goes, it is a plan to be poor and a conscience will be gained.

In this ancient times when resources were scarce, everyone was struggling for those limited resources; in this era without fertilizers and pesticides, there was not much food that could be planted. If you want to survive, you could only steal other people's belongings. In order not to let the other party down, you had to destroy them from both physical to spiritual.

Another point is how to control the soldiers under your command.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were not the steel brigades of later generations. Although they had been trained on the outside, they did not reach that level of thought.

So if you want to control them, you must let them vent their desire to kill. The uninterrupted training every day allows soldiers to accumulate a lot of negative energy in their hearts. It is not a good thing for a long time if they have nowhere to vent.

In addition, so many people died in this battle, how could it be possible for people to feel resentful? Using some prisoners from enemy countries to calm the resentment in their hearts is also a good thing.
