Reborn as Liu Hong: Building a Divine Great Han Empire

Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.

Fate ha...

Chapter 209 Great Victory

Seeing that the enemy did not turn around to fight, Zhang Qiao immediately gave another order, dividing the entire army into three teams of two thousand men each, and pursuing them to the east, south, and southwest.

The Qiang people, who had already galloped more than seventy miles, were exhausted by the time their warhorses were caught up by the Han army.

Yang Feng, who was at the forefront, swung his sword and killed a Qiang cavalryman who was blocking his way, then shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed!! You all, why don't you dismount and surrender at once!"

Those who surrender will not be killed!

While the remaining Han soldiers shouted, their long swords did not stop for a moment. Facing the Qiang cavalry who were only focused on fleeing and had no power to resist, they cut them down like melons and vegetables.

Seeing their comrades being killed by the Han soldiers, the Qiang soldiers, knowing there was no hope of escape, threw down their weapons and surrendered under the leadership of their respective chieftains.

"Hmph~ Take their horses and weapons and escort them back to the front lines!"

Yang Feng, who hadn't had his fill of killing yet, looked at the surrendered Qiang soldiers and suddenly felt bored. He then ordered the surrendered Qiang soldiers to be taken back.

What is the situation regarding our casualties?

Looking at the officers and soldiers returning from their pursuit, Zhang Qiao only glanced at the captured Qiang people before immediately inquiring about the casualties of each unit.

"Reporting to the general, our troops suffered thirty dead, twenty seriously wounded, and one hundred lightly wounded."

"Reporting to the general, our troops suffered twenty dead, ten seriously wounded, and seventy lightly wounded."

"Reporting to the general, our troops..."

As the officers and soldiers reported their casualties, a clerk standing next to Zhang Qiao quickly recorded the figures they reported.

"Reporting to the general, in this battle our army suffered 223 dead, 121 seriously wounded, and 436 lightly wounded!"

Zhang Qiao nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes! Record the names of all the brothers who died in battle without missing a single one, and record two heads for each of them! At the same time, treat the wounded brothers as soon as possible."

"promise!"

Watching the departing figure of the person in charge, and thinking of the soldiers who had died in battle, Zhang Qiao couldn't help but sigh softly.

Soon, the Han soldiers drove the captured Qiang people to clean up the battlefield.

Before long, a commander came to Zhang Qiao with a battle report that had been compiled. "Reporting to the general, in this battle our army killed more than 2,500 enemy soldiers, captured more than 4,000, and more than 500 escaped in the chaos! We also captured 5,000 intact warhorses."

"Good, report this battle report to General Duan immediately!"

"promise!"

Hearing his subordinates report their success, Zhang Qiao was overjoyed. His previous displeasure vanished, for it was a great victory, something to be happy about.

After the official left, Yang Feng looked at Zhang Qiao and asked, "General, should we continue to pursue those who escaped?"

Zhang Qiao waved his hand and laughed, "Never mind them, let Ma Yi worry about these things!"
