Chapter 1025: Li Yun's Choice

The strategy brought by Li Zheng made everyone gasp.

Kill them all?

Kill them all?

Burn them all?

Loot them all?

This...

It is too ruthless!

Liu Zheng's meaning is very clear: the extent of what Li Yun is doing now is still not enough, not enough, absolutely not enough! This bunch of ambitious, ungrateful Wa wolves should all be killed!

Yes.

Regardless of gender or age, as long as they are Wa, do not let a single one go! Do not leave a single one alive!

It is too extreme; his thinking is far more extreme than Li Yun's. At least on this journey, Li Yun had adopted a policy of appeasement toward those elderly, children, and women. But it was precisely this policy of appeasement that caused their army to suffer significant losses. Because those who launched the sneak attacks were mostly these elderly, weak, women, and children...

Liu Zheng's approach.

Kill them all.

Destroy them all.

Burn them all.

Cut the weeds and dig up the roots; do not give these Wa any chance at all.

Terrified.

Everyone was terrified.

Especially Li Yun.

Although there is no "Geneva Convention" now, since ancient times, when conquering another's land, there have been very few instances of truly wiping everyone out. Doing so would cause a country to lack the demeanor of a great power and would invite moral condemnation. Back in the day, Bai Qi, at the Battle of Changping, buried forty thousand Zhao State troops alive in a single battle, and from then on, he bore the infamy of the world.

Li Yun is also a famous general.

If he were to do as Liu Zheng said... the pressure he would have to bear would be too great. But...

Li Yun, as a person, still understands the nature of the Wa very well. He knows that this Envoy is right; if you do not cut the weeds and dig up the roots, they will grow again with the spring breeze. The Wa are just such a bunch of ungrateful wolves. He also knows in his heart that the Envoy's choice is the best choice.

The entire camp fell silent.

Once this decision is made, the entire war situation will become very different.

The entire Wa nation will become even bloodier.

Everyone.

Looked at Li Yun.

Waiting for Li Yun's decision.

Waiting for Li Yun's order.

If Li Yun is not decisive enough, the Nanyang Army will be bogged down in a quagmire, so...

Li Yun's face was also full of conflict.

Finally.

He gritted his teeth hard: "Kill!"

He let out a roar.

Everyone's eyes turned red as well.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The entire camp roared along with him, the sound shaking the heavens.

Li Yun knew it was time for some violence. He shouted: "Drag those captives who snuck into the gunpowder depot to me!"

"Yes!"

A group of people became excited as well.

Soon.

Those captives who had snuck into the gunpowder depot, causing it to explode and resulting in the direct deaths of dozens of Nanyang Army soldiers, were dragged to the center of the camp. Li Yun looked closely; sure enough, among these five people, two were elderly, two were women, and there were three more who looked like they were not even fifteen years old... but at this moment, their faces were full of anger and malice. Even after being dragged over, they were still baring fangs and brandishing claws, twisted and ferocious.

"Kill them!"

"Burn them to death!"

"Finish them off!"

Seeing their expressions, the Nanyang soldiers roared out in uncontrollable rage one by one.

Because of them, how many comrades and brothers had died? When two countries are at war, why not fight openly? I treat captives well, yet you cause trouble for me—who wouldn't be angry at that?

If you have the ability, come and fight openly.

Although the Nanyang

Army is an unrighteous force at this moment, when your Wa nation attacked the Li Dynasty, you had already placed yourselves in an unrighteous position. We are just fighting back, so there is no question of morality or lack thereof.

The soldiers were roaring.

These five people, on the contrary, were not afraid; they muttered in their mouths, not knowing what they were saying. Although the content was unknown, it was very clear that they were cursing the Nanyang Army for the invasion of their homeland.

Invasion?

Li Yun chuckled.

At this point, talking about invasion or non-invasion has completely lost its meaning. When the Li Dynasty was being invaded by the Wa nation, the sentiment for war throughout the entire Wa nation was very strong; not a single person in the Wa nation is innocent!

The five people were left tied up like that.

They continued their verbal abuse.

Perhaps they believed that no matter what, the Nanyang Army would not lay a hand on the elderly, the weak, women, and children like them...

However.

They thought wrong.

Li Yun looked coldly at these five people.

In front of so many people.

And then.

He fiercely drew his sword.

"You..."

"What are you doing?"

"You dare!"

The five Wa were all frightened. They continued to curse in the language of Wa.

The soldiers of the Nanyang Army, however, were each already excited, shouting, kill them, kill them, don't leave a single one!

Li Yun walked over slowly and stopped in front of them.

Then, he used his rough voice to shout loudly: "Brothers, from today on, as long as you see a Wa, regardless of gender, age, health, or disability! As long as you see one, kill one for me!"

Clang!

As soon as the words fell, his hand rose and the sword fell.

That Wa old man who had been cursing the most fiercely had his cursing cut short, and his head fell to the ground!

The remaining four people were all terrified.

He was for real!

He was actually for real!

The atmosphere of the entire army also began to boil.

"Kill!"

"Well killed!"

"Kill!"

"You, you, you..."

The other four were already so scared their legs went soft. Where was their arrogance from just a moment ago?

Li Yun walked toward the second person again and shouted coldly: "Regardless of resistance or begging for mercy... when you encounter one, there is only one word: kill!"

With one sword strike.

Another head fell.

Fresh blood began to spread on the ground.

At this, the remaining three captives were finally terrified. Just as Li Yun said, facing life and death, they each knelt down, kneeling and begging for mercy, begging for mercy in that language people could not understand.

However.

Once Li Yun decided on a matter, he would not go back on it. Today, he was going to ignite the killing intent of the entire Nanyang Army.

"Remember, the Wa are a pack of wolves! A pack of white-eyed wolves! Then our Nanyang Army, we Longyan, should be a pack of tigers! When you encounter wolves, just finish them off! Otherwise, they will bite us back when the time comes! Do you hear me?"

"We hear you!"

Another sword strike.

The blood that burst forth undoubtedly stimulated everyone.

The army began to get excited.

"Kill the Wa!"

"Kill the Wa!"

"Don't leave a single one!"

"Don't leave a single one!"

Everyone followed along and shouted, the rising and falling sounds unable to stop anymore.

One sword.

Another sword.

At this moment, all five Wa were executed!

The atmosphere at the scene remained high, and for a time it simply could not

stop.

Li Yun's decision also meant that a cruel slaughter had truly begun in Wa.

Tokugawa Ienari.

At this time, he was still in Edo, directing everything.

"Hahahaha, the General's strategy is truly perfect!"

"Indeed, let's see how these Nanyang Army soldiers handle this!"

"The General is the General; no one can compare to him!"

A group of Samurai were still flattering him.

Tokugawa Ienari smiled faintly, looking at the dancing girls in front and listening to the ambiguous music. He believed that as long as they fought like this, their Wa could still hold out!

Hmph.

The Emperor.

Still wants to surrender?

He would absolutely not allow Wa to surrender!

Fight to the death!

Even if it means fighting until the very last person, we must fight to the death!

This time, he had trained these old men, women, and children responsible for assassinations and sneak attacks in a short period, just to keep the Nanyang Army in a state of exhaustion and distress.

Does the Wa nation have no army left?

Who says so!

As long as they are Wa people, they can all fight!

As long as they are Wa people, with a little training, they can all go to the battlefield!

As long as they are Wa people, they all have mettle!

As long as they are Wa people, they are all Samurai!

And these Longyan people are precisely the hypocritical ones, full of talk about morality. They would not excessively slaughter this portion of captives.

This is the opportunity!

The best opportunity!

However.

Just at this moment.

Suddenly, a Samurai came in from outside, practically crawling and tumbling, his face drenched in sweat: "Great General, it's bad, it's bad..."

Because it disturbed the enjoyment of Tokugawa Ienari, his eyes were full of gloom: "What is going on?"

The singing and dancing also stopped.

"They, they..."

"They have started killing! They are killing everyone!"

"What?"
