The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

"Surrender! Lay down your weapons and put your hands up!"

Wen Tao shouted himself hoarse, and the Yan soldiers, upon hearing his command, quickly laid down their weapons.

When two countries are at war, those who surrender should not be killed.

This is the rule.

He looked at Song Siyao with a hint of mockery and smugness, "Song Siyao, they've surrendered. They're unarmed now, you can't kill them anymore!"

He would rather these Yan soldiers be prisoners than have them all die at the hands of the Zhou soldiers.

Even if they become prisoners, the Yan state can still negotiate with the Zhou state and discuss terms, and they can still live.

But if they are killed, he will be unable to answer to his father.

His military power will also be taken back.

Without military power, how could he take revenge on Song Siyao?

Therefore, these Yan soldiers absolutely cannot be wiped out!

However, he ultimately underestimated Song Siyao's ruthlessness.

Song Si raised an eyebrow, her voice cold and ruthless, "When Prince Cheng massacred my Fengcheng, did he ever consider that they were unarmed civilians?"

"Two years ago, in the Battle of Panxi, none of our 50,000 soldiers survived. Did Prince Cheng show any mercy?"

Faced with Song Siyao's questioning, Wen Tao was unconvinced, "Two years ago, in the Battle of Panxi, your Great Zhou soldiers did not surrender and resisted to the very end. As for the Fengcheng matter, you have already taken your revenge on me and it's over."

Upon hearing Wen Tao say that the 50,000 soldiers had never surrendered and had resisted until the very end, ultimately suffering total annihilation, Song Siyao felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

"How can your worthless life be worth more than the lives of tens of thousands of people in Fengcheng? You say you're moving on, but didn't you bring your troops here this time just to take revenge on me?"

Song Siyao's eyes flashed with bloodlust. "Those who invade my territory and defy my Great Zhou shall die!"

Wen Tao panicked and threatened, "Song Siyao, if you dare to violate the rules of war between two countries, the people of the world will rise up against you, and your Great Zhou will be doomed!"

"What bullshit rules? I am the rule!" Song Si brandished his longsword, pointing it out coldly, and ordered, "Kill! Leave no one alive!"

The sounds of fighting resumed.

This battle was even more intense than the one before.

Wen Tao was powerless. He looked at the mountains of corpses of Yan soldiers and cursed Song Siyao, "Madman! Song Siyao, you're a madman! Your whole Song family are madmen!"

"Shut up! If you curse again, I'll push you down and trample you into a pulp!"

As soon as Song Siyao spoke, Wen Tao immediately shut up.

It wasn't that she didn't want to kill Wentao, it was that now wasn't the best time to kill him.

Soon, the last Yan soldier died at the hands of the Zhou soldiers, and all 20,000 Yan soldiers were annihilated!

The initial battle was a resounding success, achieved with fewer troops than others. The morale of the Great Zhou soldiers soared, and cheers erupted.

Just then, the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn; daybreak had arrived.

"Princess, we have annihilated all the enemies in Fengshadu City. What are the next instructions?" Cang Yue asked.

"Clean up the battlefield!" Song Siyao gave the order, then turned to look at Wen Tao.

Wen Tao hurriedly retreated, "Princess Ning'an, if you dare to kill me, my Yan cavalry will surely raze your Great Zhou to the ground!"

Song Siyao said with a contemptuous tone, "Don't worry, you're still useful. I won't kill you now. I'll let you see with your own eyes how the Great Zhou defeats your Yan Kingdom, and make you die with a clear conscience!"

Wen Tao was ruthless. After he occupied Fengshadu, he killed the city's garrison commander.

They burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of atrocities within the city.

Anyone who dared to resist was killed. The people kept their doors tightly shut and locked themselves in their homes, not daring to go out.

Even though the city has been reclaimed, it remains lifeless and desolate.

Song Siyao imprisoned Wen Tao in the Heavenly Prison and led the soldiers of the Great Zhou to appease the people.

When the people of Fengshadu saw that it was Song Siyao who had arrived, they all opened their doors to welcome her.

In the hearts of the people of Fengshadu, Zhenbeihou is their heaven and their god.

They especially felt a special affection for the Zhenbei Marquis family, as the entire Zhenbei Marquis family sacrificed themselves to protect them.

In addition, Song Siyao saved them during the previous plague.

They grew to like and respect Song Siyao even more.
