It was not until dawn that the battlefield in the distance gradually became quiet.
The Guifang soldiers fled in panic, and Yun Zheng did not send anyone to pursue them.
At this moment, the Guifang soldiers were already blood-thirsty.
Now, the soldiers were no longer afraid and only wanted to survive.
They will fight to the death with anyone who doesn't let them live.
If we send people to pursue them now, they will suffer heavy casualties.
Wait till they run!
Anyway, they retreated in a hurry without even any food or fodder.
Wait until those people have no more strength to run, then send people to capture prisoners.
At that time, they won't even need to capture prisoners. As long as the defeated soldiers know that they will get food if they surrender, they will come and surrender on their own.
...
...
Yun Zheng put down the Clairvoyance in his hand, turned around and ordered Qu Zhi: "Take people to clean up the battlefield immediately and kill the enemy soldiers who are seriously injured but not dead! Be careful to identify our own people!"
"yes!"
Qu Zhi took the order and immediately led his men into the devastated battlefield.
They all had a circle of white cloth tied around their ankles, which could be seen by just lifting up their pants.
Although this is time-consuming, it can minimize the chances of accidentally killing one's own wounded soldiers.
When Qu Zhi led his men into the battlefield, a group of soldiers surrounded a soldier who was carrying a person on his back and ran towards them.
Yun Zheng's eyelids jumped, and he immediately led his men to ride towards them.
Soon, Yun Zheng and his group rode their horses at full speed and came in front of the group of soldiers.
"Your Highness, General Wang is dying..."
"Madam Miaoyin, please save General Wang..."
"General Wang, you have to hold on!"
Seeing Yun Zheng and his men, a group of soldiers began to wail in panic.
Their dirty faces were filled with sadness and worry.
"Quick, put him down!"
Yun Zheng and Miao Yin quickly jumped off their horses.
After several soldiers carefully put Wang Qi down, Miaoyin immediately stepped forward to check Wang Qi's injuries.
Wang Qi was covered in blood and had many wounds on his body.
At this time, Wang Qi had already passed out due to excessive blood loss.
"Everyone, go down and rest!"
Yun Zheng waved to the soldiers who were gathered around him with worried faces, "If you have any wounds, find someone to treat them."
Hearing Yun Zheng's order, a group of soldiers covered in blood hesitated for a moment, then slowly retreated.
As they retreated, they turned back from time to time to look at Wang Qi.
While Miaoyin was checking Wang Qi's injuries, Yun Zheng ordered the guards in a deep voice: "Bring some hay here immediately! Quickly!"
Looking at Wang Qi covered in blood, Yun Zheng couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.
Although death on the battlefield was inevitable, he still felt distressed every time he saw someone familiar die or be seriously injured.
But this is the battlefield!
Since he was in charge of the Northern Army, he had to accept the cruelty of the battlefield.
Soon, a group of guards brought some hay, and under Miaoyin's command, they slowly moved the royal weapon onto the hay.
"How is it? Can it be saved?"
Yun Zheng looked at Miaoyin nervously.
"I'm not sure either, I can only do my best."
Miaoyin shook her head gently, "His injuries are too severe. Whether he can survive depends on his luck."
Is that so?
Yun Zheng's heart trembled slightly.
He was still clear about Miaoyin's medical skills.
Miaoyin said so, which means there is little chance that Wang Qi can survive.
I hope Wang Qi can hold on!
Just as Yun Zheng was sighing secretly, Qu Zhi sent someone back to report: "Your Highness, we found an unconscious person in the sedan chair left by the enemy. General Qu suspects that this person is Guifang Wang Tuoliang!"
To help?
Yun Zheng's heart moved, and he immediately ordered his guards: "Go, call Mondo, let him see if that man is Tuo Lin!"
The guards took the order and left.
Soon, Yun Zheng got the definite answer.
That person was none other than Guifang King Tuolin.
Tuoyan's sedan chair overturned during the retreat, and the fleeing Guifang army might not have noticed Tuoyan at all.
The unconscious Tuo Lin was carried over.
Miaoyin raised her head and looked at Yun Zheng, "Do you want me to check on Tuo Yan first?"
"Leave him alone!"
Yun Zheng shook his head gently, "Help Wang Qi treat his wound first!"
The defeat of Guifang means they are completely ruined.
Under normal circumstances, even if Tuoliang died, the Guifang should have surrendered.
If the Guifang people refuse to surrender, he also has ways to deal with them.
Even though Tolin is dead, don’t we still have Tuohuan and Mundo?
It’s just that if Tuo Lin were alive, there might be less trouble.
But in his heart, Tuo Lin's life was not as valuable as Wang Qi's life.
"All right!"
Miaoyin didn't say much and continued to use catgut to suture Wang Qi's cleaned wound.
An hour later, Miaoyin, with the help of several guards, helped Wang Qi treat his wounds.
Half of the healing medicines that Miaoyin carried with her were used on Wang Qi.
She carried those medicines with her in case Yun Zheng encountered any unexpected events.
The bleeding from Wang Qi's wound had stopped temporarily, but Wang Qi was still unconscious and could not move at will, otherwise, his wound would bleed again.
When Miaoyin turned around to check on Tuoliang's situation, Yun Zheng ordered his men to find tents from the supplies left behind by the enemy and use the tents to cover the royal weapon.
"It should be that Tuo Yan's qi and blood attacked his heart, causing blockage of tendons and veins. He won't die for the time being."
Miaoyin stood up and told Yunzheng about Tuoliang's situation.
"Then leave him alone!"
Yun Zheng took the water bag hanging on his mount, poured water to help Miaoyin wash her hands, and said, "You should take a rest first! Just pay attention to the condition of the king's weapon."
"You really don't care about Tuolin?" Miaoyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Don't worry if you're not going to die for now!"
Yun Zheng didn't care at all.
…
By noon, the casualties and spoils of the battle had been roughly counted.
In this battle, half of the 1,500 people who went to attack the camp were killed, and dozens of them were seriously injured. The rest were almost all injured.
Among them, only more than 110 casualties were surrendered soldiers of the Guifang.
The rest are all members of the Northern Army.
Moreover, these people are the elites in the military.
Take the 500 people led by Wang Qi for example, they are basically the special forces trained by Wang Qi in the army.
On the Guifang side, nearly ten thousand corpses were left behind.
As for prisoners, there were none!
Those who could escape had already escaped, and those who were seriously injured and unable to escape were given a quick death by Qu Zhi and his men.
In this battle, about 30% of the food and supplies of the Guifang army of 60,000 were burned in the chaos, and the rest were their spoils of war.
Unfortunately, they only captured more than 2,000 war horses.
However, for Yun Zheng and his team, this result has exceeded their expectations.
This was also due to the random orders Chi Yan gave in a panic.
If Chi Yan had not ordered his men to beat drums to attack, the casualties of the Guifang would have been reduced by half.
Yun Zheng ordered his men to cook and eat. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, he allowed Qu Zhi to lead his troops to slowly capture prisoners...
