Give no quarters

Give no quarters = take no prisoners
as for Chinese translation, I can think of few

趕盡殺絕 / 斬盡殺絕
格殺勿論
殺無赦 
 
(more literal translation) 
不受降 
不留俘虜

I like 不受降 the most, sound more matter of fact, also fit figurative meaning.
but the modern usage of "Give no quarters" is "show no mercy" which in Chinese is 毫不留情
