    When serious internal strife broke out within the rebel army, that is when the old general ordered his elite troops to go out of the city to attack and burn the joint camp. As a veteran general who had been marching for more than 40 years, he understood the astronomy and geography, and he knew the climate of this area.  , he knew that the weather here during this period of time was relatively dry and windy, which was most suitable for fire attacks. Moreover, these rebels were indeed a mob. The camps were set up in a mess, with troops and family members mixed together.  While the war is going on, there are women cooking on the fire. Is this for traveling or for fighting?  A group of rabble, a group of rabble, the dynasty was actually forced to do this by this group of rabble. It is simply unimaginable how serious the impact the existence of that group of corrupt officials had on the dynasty. After this battle, he decided to kill Isa  Mu was released, and then joined forces with Issam to rectify the dynasty, using his position as general to take advantage of the chaos of the war to sort out the entire dynasty and re-establish rule.  So the top priority was to use his prestige to organize a death squad before the Tang army arrived and he had a fleeting opportunity to defeat the enemy. There were about 10,000 people, each of whom carried enough fire starters.  and igniting objects, the only purpose is to attack the rebel camp on horseback, and then desperately ignite everything in sight, even if it means sacrificing his own life and the life of the war horse, the only goal is to burn the joint camp.  , destroy all the military camps surrounding the imperial city outside the city, leaving nothing behind!  9, w¡ïww. The death squads were quickly recruited. The elite soldiers who followed the old general and fought desperately with the Romans on the border formed a powerful death squad. The old general personally led the team and set off, taking advantage of the dark night and high wind.  , taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the rebels outside the city, they suddenly opened the blocked city gate and roared away like a strong wind.  When all the rebels were sleeping soundly, and even the soldiers on guard were taking a nap, the army suddenly attacked.  Some of the vigil soldiers who felt the shaking on the ground opened their eyes in confusion, but before they could realize what happened, their lives were taken away by sharp blades, followed closely.  It's a huge fire!  The death squads rode war horses and kept throwing ignited fire starters onto the tents, onto the food and grass, and onto anything that could burn. As soon as the breeze blew, the fire began to expand. A person may not be the best, but once  When tens of thousands of people roared in on war horses and started setting fires, the fire began to rage at an unimaginable speed.  In less than five minutes, the coalition camp was already on fire, and the rebel army's defeat was inevitable.  The rebels rushed out of the lit camp in panic. Some were wearing clothes, and some were naked. It was hard to imagine what they were doing before. There were men and women.  There are children and old people.  Seeing the fire soaring into the sky, without exception, they were all panicked, and they definitely didn't look like an army at all. And when they saw the Persian cavalry on horseback rushing towards them wildly waving their swords, they didn't even notice.  Without exception a decision was made to run!  Running alone is nothing.  But a cavalryman rushed over and a group of people ran, and that was a problem. Men, women, old people and children began to run wildly. The men were screaming and the women were crying.  The children were crying loudly, but no one would protect them, no one could save them. When the Persian officers and soldiers in the city saw the fire ignited, they knew it was done. They were overjoyed and quickly dispatched troops to help in the battle. Forty thousand troops poured out of the palace.  The city began a counterattack, and the whole world seemed to be filled with shouts of death and screams.  The old general looked at all this with cold eyes, and coldly issued the order to kill without mercy. Surrender can be accepted temporarily. When the battle is over, they will all be buried alive to shock the whole country!  With a wave of the sword, the cavalry came out in all directions. Influenced by the Tang army, these light cavalry shed their heavy armor and replaced them with light armor. They came and went like the wind. They were a nightmare for the rebel army. The rebel army lacking cavalry could hardly fight against these light cavalry who came and went like the wind.  Even if some of Feng's light cavalry wanted to resist, they would not be able to succeed.  The total collapse could not be reversed. The total defeat of the rebel army was already settled. With the help of strong winds and fire, 50,000 Persian officers and soldiers completed the last glorious victory in the history of the Persian Empire. 50,000 people defeated and massacred hundreds of thousands of rebel troops.  , according to post-war statistics, the total strength of the rebel army was around 500,000, including their family members, etc., which amounted to about one million people. However, the 50,000 official troops were completely defeated by fire, killing more than 100,000 rebels.  , captured more than 200,000 people, and their family members were either burned to death or trampled to death. Among the rebels, women, children, and the elderly had no chance of survival.  The number of these family members is even greater than that of combat soldiers, and the number of losses is also shocking. However, most of them were not killed by the Persian army, nor were they burned to death, but were trampled to death. In the chaotic escape group, as long as you  If you accidentally fall down, you will never get up again, so when the old general saw this place with his own eyes, he found it shocking and difficult to look directly at.  Having said that, the old general has long thoughtLike iron and stone, a fire destroyed more than a million rebels and their families, and killed an unknown number of rebels and leaders. The western rebels were basically wiped out, while the eastern rebels were still fighting.  The Tang army jointly attacked, and the old general sent an army of 30,000 border troops and more than 100,000 temporarily recruited militiamen to the last eastern province to form the last line of defense and buy them time. Calculating the time, it was almost time.  There was a fire to dispose of the corpses, but the old general was not in a hurry to dispose of the corpses. He just led his troops to charge and kill the living people when they saw them. It didn't matter who they were, whether they were men, women, old people or children. Anyone who knelt down and surrendered when he saw them.  The man calmly ordered them to get out of the way, and then led his troops to charge and kill them. When the battle was over, he ordered the soldiers to organize the surrendered people to dig holes.  Obviously, the rebels and their families who surrendered did not know the specific purpose of these pits, so they dug the pits honestly without any resistance, so as to save the old general from ordering soldiers to suppress them, and the main military forces went after those pits.  The rebels fled, and there were less than a thousand people left to guard the tens of thousands of surrenders. If they collectively resisted and fled, it is estimated that the official army would not be able to stop them. But it is a pity that no one wants to escape.  Digging holes honestly.  Until dawn, the darkest hour has passed, and a trace of fish belly white appears on the horizon.  The old general, who was covered in blood, returned triumphantly with tens of thousands of soldiers who were also covered in blood, and escorted a large group of prisoners who couldn't see the edge. When he saw that the big hole had been dug, he gave instructions to the soldiers around him. The soldiers were obviously taken aback.  , and then asked again uncertainly, and the old general gave an affirmative answer.  The soldier hesitated for a while.  Still doing what the old general asked, he came to the general in charge of the prisoners of war and whispered to him: "The general asked you to let these prisoners bury all the bodies first, and then set them on fire. Then, you lead the army to  All the prisoners here were pushed into the pit and killed together, no one was spared, regardless of age or sex!" The general in charge was also stunned and looked at the old general with a serious face.  Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said uncertainly: "There must be at least 100,000 people, right? Buried alive? Killed in a trap?" The soldier nodded: "This is the general's wish, we can only do it!" The general in charge could only nod and look at  The old general saluted and ordered to go down. The soldiers who learned about this were also shocked. However, the old general's absolute prestige and majesty prevented them from resisting and could only obey.  Arrange for all the prisoners to throw all the bodies into the pit, whether they are burnt or intact.  They were all thrown into the pit, then set on fire and burned. The thick black smoke made everyone feel pungent and uncomfortable.  These rebels and their families, who had lost their backbone and fighting will, did not notice that as they gradually cleaned up the corpses, all the soldiers had quietly made preparations.  The entire Dakeng area was surrounded, and the sharp blade had been revealed, faintly surrounding all the surrenders. Regardless of men, women, old or young, the number of surrenders was not the largest.  The 70,000 to 80,000 troops could completely surround them, but most of the rebels fled. The old general couldn't catch many, so he could only kill them.  After this battle, the main force and all organizations of the Western Rebel Army were destroyed, including the rebel army from Issam's hometown. However, it was a pity that their leader was not captured or killed, but all of them were killed.  After escaping, no one knew where they went. The old general was still a little worried that they would come back, so the old general chose to kill all the rebels at all costs to let them know the consequences of resisting the royal government and to prevent the rebels from coming back.  Possibly, prepare for the army to fully resist the Tang army's invasion.  If these rebels are left, who knows whether they will join forces with the Eastern Rebel Army and the Tang Army to make a comeback. The only way is to kill them all!  The last corpse was thrown into the pit and burned, and the life countdown of the rebels ended. The general in charge drew his sword and shouted. All the troops formed a neat military formation, and moved toward the surrounding soldiers in a battlefield-killing formation.  The prisoners who were surrounded stood in the pit and left. The prisoners were stunned. It was not until the outermost group of people were bloody and bloody under the shadow of swords that they realized that the government and the army did not intend to pardon them, and they did not even have the opportunity to do coolies.  No, they will be killed directly.  If it were a normal time, the old general might still be a little bit intolerant and would let them use coolies as the price of the uprising. The blame is that the forward of the Tang army is less than half a day away from the imperial city. As soon as the battle here is over, they will immediately  In the counterattack against the Tang army, there is no more time, so killing is the best solution.  Cries, howls, desperate cries, adults' cries, children's cries, women's cries, shook the earth. The prisoners did not choose to resist. They no longer had the courage to resist. They looked at the murderous intent.  Teng Teng killed the red-eyed officers and soldiersPressing harder and harder, they chose to retreat and escape, constantly escaping inside, but they were surrounded and couldn't escape. There was a deep pit inside, which was still burning fiercely and breathing black smoke.  , which contained the bodies of their compatriots who had just been thrown away not long ago.  Escape inside, escape inside, and the final result is to slip and fall into a deep pit, and be burned to death by blazing fire, or be smoked to death by thick smoke. What is even more tragic is to be trampled to death outside the pit. This is also the battle.  The most serious way of death for the rebels was being trampled to death by their own people. The elderly, weak, sick, disabled, women and children were the main victims.  When the sun showed its first ray of golden light, there was no longer a living rebel prisoner on the scarred earth. There was only thick black smoke and increasingly fierce flames. The old general glanced at the pit indifferently and issued an order to all the people.  The army was ordered to return to the city to prepare for war. As for these deep pits, they were left to the more than a thousand soldiers to wait for the flames to be extinguished before burying them. No one was allowed to tell anyone about what happened today. Anyway, the people here should not be alive.  , all dead.  In this battle, according to post-war statistics, the Persian government forces killed about 120,000 rebels, and the family members who went with the rebels were killed or injured about 300,000, totaling more than 420,000 losses, of which 100,000 were killed.  Ten thousand prisoners were killed alive, and the remaining more than 300,000 died in wars, tramples, and fires. The instigator, the old general, was also called the number one butcher in Persia by later generations, but apparently they did not know that in Chinese history  , there is a bigger butcher who killed 400,000 people in one fell swoop.
