On the hillside, countless civilians had already planned to retreat. They didn't believe that 5,000 Wulin soldiers could defeat 100,000 Mongolian troops...
However, the real scene and the sea of corpses and blood below left them stunned!
"Village Chief, are we leaving or not?"
One of the villagers who was rescued by Xiaolongnu and her army subconsciously asked his village chief.
"Go...go!"
The village chief subconsciously slapped the inquiring villager, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the ground!
"Didn't you see how many people died down there? With just that small army, how long would it take for them to clean up the battlefield before they could rest? And what about guarding the prisoners? Do they dare to do that? We were saved by your kindness. We should be grateful and repay your kindness. Of course we have to go down and help!"
"That's right, this big brother is right. All the villagers of Yangjiazhuang, follow me and help!"
"Let's go together!"
Countless villagers who followed the army rushed down the mountain in a chaotic manner...
The Wulin Army had captured a camp of 100,000 men! Even if the vast majority of the food, fodder, horses, cattle, and sheep had to be given to the benefactor to take away, wouldn't the dead horses, the carcasses of the affected animals, and the tents and other belongings that couldn't be taken away belong to them?
In addition to helping out as they should, picking up these things and bringing them back can also greatly improve the lives of the villagers... This is the cunning and wisdom of the little people!
So, just as Di Fan and the others had recovered from the excitement of the fight and hadn't had time to clean up the battlefield, a group of villagers rushed down and took them aside to wash and rest, dragging them away like they were being treated like masters...
Yue Suo and Zhong Mingliang watched all this with a smile, and did not try to stop it. They had heard from their elders that when the Yue Family Army and the Zhong Family Army returned from their victories on the battlefield, they were also treated kindly by the people.
Perhaps, in the future, the Wulin Alliance may be able to unify the world?
A team of people was left behind to assist the villagers in guarding the prisoners, while the rest of the Wulin Army went to the river to wash and rest... After three full hours, Di Fan and others finally gathered again in Kublai Khan's tent.
Di Fan yawned and walked into the big tent with the account book... Whether it was Zhong Mingliang or Yue Shuo, their brains were full of muscles and arithmetic. They could not be said to be unskilled, but they could not be compared with Di Fan.
So, in pursuit of efficiency, they were happy to let go and completely handed over logistics and other matters to Difan Statistics...
As Di Fan received the money, he watched these two fellows and Xiao Longnu drinking the fine wine specially provided by Kublai Khan, and a sense of resentment rose in his heart...
"These guys are living such a good life! They're just using me as a laborer..."
[Just wait, when we get back, I'll throw you into a military academy to study math!]
"Aren't Yue Fei and Zhong Shidao both Confucian generals? Haha, if I don't teach you to be both civil and military, proficient in astronomy, geography, literature, and arithmetic, I'll have failed!"
Di Fan thought bitterly that Xiaolongnu, who was sitting on the upper seat, couldn't help but shudder when she heard the eldest brother's voice. She quickly stood up to welcome her eldest brother... What a joke, she was raised by Di Fan, and she didn't want to touch mathematics anymore in her life!
The crazy hot spring manager, the madman driving the horse-drawn carriage, the perverted old farmer who insisted on locking chickens and rabbits together and counting their feet, the mentally retarded businessman who bought and sold... She never wanted to see them again in her life!
"Big Brother, thank you for your hard work!"
Xiao Longnu greeted him with a smile as beautiful as a flower... Big Brother, please don't bear a grudge against me. I don't want to study mathematics anymore! ~
Zhong Mingliang and Yue Shuo turned around and noticed Di Fan's resentful look... Their hearts tightened, and their sharp martial arts intuition sounded a crazy alarm to them!
Without saying a word, the two of them quickly stood up and helped Di Fan to his seat...
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Fan. Those who are capable should work harder. Those who are capable should work harder... Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work!"
"That's right. Without the Deputy Alliance Leader, we wouldn't even be able to figure out logistics. Thanks to the Deputy Alliance Leader's coordination, we won this great victory, and the Deputy Alliance Leader deserves the most credit..."
Di Fan glanced at the two of them. Haha, now you know how to show your affection? Let me tell you, it's over!
"Nothing," Di Fan said quietly. "How can a general be ignorant of astronomy, geography, and rations, or understand the maps? Don't worry, when I return, I will open a special military academy to teach you generals well, and strive to train you to be all-round good men who embody the five virtues and four virtues!"
Yue Ruo and Zhong Mingliang shuddered violently... After being in contact for so long, how could they not know Di Fan's abnormal requirements for numerical accuracy?
Not to mention much else, even the daily food consumption was calculated by Di Fan to the nearest two, which was simply terrifying! If they were to learn...
“No!”
.................
After a while of laughter, the post-war summary finally began.
Di Fan took the recorded data and began to report.
"First, let's look at the casualties," Di Fan said, looking at everyone. "A total of 352 Wulin soldiers died, 528 were seriously injured, and 1,683 were slightly injured. A total of 2,563 casualties, a casualty ratio of 50%! Of these, nearly half were due to lack of riding proficiency, so this requires special attention!"
Zhong Mingliang nodded and said, "Indeed, one month is still too short. It takes at least a year to truly develop cavalry. You have to train a whole horse to the point of breaking it before you can fully master cavalry operations. The Wulin Army is still too immature."
"There's nothing we can do about it," Di Fan shrugged. "We've gathered five thousand martial arts masters in such a short period of time. If we don't launch a major war in time to intimidate the Song Dynasty, do you think they'll really leave us alone?"
"Ah, that's true, it's just a pity for these good guys..."
After the reprimand before the war, Yue Shuo also understood a little about the relationship between politics and military affairs, and sighed speechlessly...
"Alright, enough sighing. We'll discuss the summary after we return to Xiangyang. Brother, now let's talk about our battle record."
Xiao Longnu interrupted everyone's sighs in time. Now she had a rough understanding of the ways of being a king, and she also knew that she should not continue to be so sad.
"Okay," Di Fan nodded and continued, "As for the results of this battle, I can brag about it."
Di Fan smiled and said, "With the help of the villagers, we've roughly cleaned up the battlefield. The Wulin Army killed 50,000 enemies and captured 20,000. About 20,000 Mongolian soldiers escaped. In addition, we killed a thousand centurions and a hundred thousand thousand centurions... We didn't capture the Mongolian prince Kublai Khan, and the tribal leaders evacuated in time. We only captured a few nobles who didn't have time to escape. We were too few in number, so to prevent any accidents, we didn't pursue them.
It is said that it was because the Mongolian State Master, King Jinlun, was at the scene and realized something was wrong in time and quickly evacuated the battlefield..."
(PS: Sorry, I can only update three chapters today... I have too many banquets and weddings to attend, and I have spent three days memorizing the manuscripts. I really can't update more. I owe one chapter for now, and I will make up for it tomorrow!)
