I don’t know how the Feng Army lost to the Star Army. The three of them have planned to ask Brother Gao Li to find out after a while.
"The marshal is wise and mighty," at the same time, after feeling relieved, the Gaoli brothers and many defenders on the side were shouting excitedly, and their voices were extremely loud.
"Silence," the cheers on the school grounds continued for a long time until a general came over: "All personnel lined up as quickly as possible and followed the general to the city gate to clear the battlefield."
The general gave the order, and the noisy campus immediately fell silent. Under the command of the commanders and centurions, tens of thousands of people quickly arranged themselves into formation, and then headed towards the city gate in a nervous and orderly manner.
The city gate was still brightly lit, and even though it was not as bright as before, it still aroused everyone's curiosity. Many star troops couldn't wait to see what was going on over there, until they smelled a smell of blood mixed with the stench, their Only then did his thoughts change, and everyone became nervous involuntarily.
Then when they arrived at the city, the scene in front of them made their scalps numb. Corpses were strewn across the field, bleeding and floating. The black figures were all lifeless corpses, including those of humans, horses, and even some huge ones. The ferocious beasts, there were trickles of blood everywhere on the ground.
Looking further ahead, there were corpses piled high under the city walls on both sides. The crenellations of the city wall above were even hung with corpses and some protruding weapons. Even at night, the horrific scene still made everyone's hair stand on end.
But the general above didn't care about this at all. After dividing Lu Yunyou and the others into several teams, he assigned corresponding areas of responsibility to each team, and then asked everyone to clean the battlefield.
The stumps and severed bodies on the ground made everyone vomit. Even Lu Yunyou, who had been among the corpses, was a little unbearable at the moment. The ordinary Star Army was even more so. They were all busy, but because they were required to distinguish between them. They couldn't finish the corpses of their own personnel in a short while.
Among them, retrieving corpses from the river is particularly troublesome. Not 10,000 people from the Feng Army died in the river, but 8,000. It is difficult for the Star Army to find the corpses of our own soldiers from so many corpses, because those corpses have His clothes were stained red with blood.
Compared with the casualties of the Feng Army, the death toll of the Hanoi Star Army was negligible, but in terms of changing the situation of the war, those few hundred people may have played a greater role than the 20,000 people, even though they had already They died in battle, but they were all meritorious people, and their bodies should be disposed of properly.
According to Lan Wu's instructions, the corpses of Feng Jun were moved outside the city and piled into dozens of piles. The corpses of Xing Jun were carried into the city by the defenders, waiting for those who attacked the nearby city to claim them. They will bury the unclaimed bodies properly.
The night wind blows, and the winter wind carries a biting coldness and a heart-breaking chill, eroding everyone's bodies all the time, but it has no impact on those who are busy. Star troops are everywhere in and outside the city. , as long as those who are still able to move are busy at the moment, everyone seems to be tireless.
While cleaning up the battlefield, they talked about the battle just now. Many star troops were talking and laughing. The joy brought by victory was uncontrollable. There was no need to ask. Just from the few words they heard while carrying the corpse, Lu Yunyou and the others could imagine How fierce was the battle just now.
From the bottom of the city to the top of the city, then into the city, and finally into the river, thousands of people died in each process. The death caused by the war was unimaginable.
Especially in the area above the city, there were many corpses of the Star Army lying on the three-meter-wide walkway. As the first people to participate in the battle, they suffered the most casualties. If they hadn't desperately defended the city's defense line, there might not have been tonight. Victory, those star troops who are still alive only hope that tonight's victory can comfort the spirits of the dead in heaven.
From the top of the city to the bottom of the city, tens of thousands of people were busy one after another until the morning, and the battlefield was finally cleared. By the time the light of morning fell, everyone was already exhausted, and because of the pungent smell of blood that had been smelling all night In the morning, everyone was sitting weakly leaning on each other, but they had no appetite.
After those who had been arranged to rest earlier replaced those who were still busy and went back to rest, about 30,000 star troops could finally go back to clean up and rest, including Lu Yunyou and others. Before leaving, like the others, the three of them also Don’t forget to look back and look at the hundreds of meters long blood-stained city wall.
On the way back, some of the star troops who participated in the battle last night couldn't help but lament that it was more difficult to clean up the battlefield than to fight with the Feng Army. If they could, they would rather fight against the Feng Army on the battlefield than clean up the battlefield. Of course, this is just their feeling.
In fact, although the Star Army won the battle last night, it still drained the courage of many people. After all, war is something that many people have never experienced before. The cruel fighting has brought great impact to some weak-willed people. When they calmed down, those horrific scenes constantly stimulated their will and made them uncomfortable. Only talking about what happened last night with their companions could relieve their uneasiness.
If Lan Wu had directly arranged for everyone to rest last night, many soldiers might have suffered under high mental stress. Therefore, after considering this situation, Lan Wu only arranged for the injured to go back to rest first.
Except for some injured people, the generals have been commanding their subordinates to clean up the battlefield. Even if some of them cannot bear the pressure, according to Lan Wu's instructions, they still have to use words to relieve the soldiers below from time to time. Emotions gradually returned the mentality of the soldiers below to normal. If there is a person who is really depressed, it is naturally a person with an extremely weak will. Such people need follow-up arrangements.
Early in the morning, the dazzling light brought a touch of warmth. In this warmth, many star troops were doing the final cleaning. There was too much blood on the ground near the city gate, and the smell was too strong. Without washing it with water, normal people could not stay there. There.
Just like the bloodstains on the ground, the hundreds of meters long city wall was stained with bloodstains. Those bloodstains confirmed the cruelty of last night's war and highlighted the rarity of victory. However, cleaning up the bloodstains was a chore and could not be dealt with in a short time.
In addition, by this morning, the generals finally calculated the casualties of both sides. Not counting the corpses that were taken away across the river, the Feng Army had a total of more than 50,000 dead. If the corpses taken away were included, the death toll would be Already more than 60,000.
A total of more than 15,000 people died in the Star Army. After this battle, the Star Army lost the most archers. Training archers is not much easier than training cavalry, so the Star Army's losses this time are also not small, but in comparison , obviously the Feng Army suffered greater losses. In the battle last night, the Star Army could definitely be called a complete victory.
In terms of generals, more than ten genuine generals of the Feng Army were killed in battle, and dozens of deputies were killed. What was gratifying was that Ren Yan finally died under Lan Xu's sword during the evacuation.
As for the generals of the Star Army, seven of the generals who participated in the battle were killed and three were injured. Their losses were much smaller than those of the Feng Army. The most important thing was that as the victors, all the spoils belonged to them.
Most of the Feng Army's cavalry were killed last night, and very few survived. After some people chose to abandon their horses and flee for their lives, most of their horses stayed in the city. Without horses, those cavalry who were still alive could no longer be called cavalry. After this battle, the Feng Army's cavalry strength was reduced to seven.
Without the cavalry, when the two sides face off against each other in the future, the Feng Army will be difficult to fight against the Star Kingdom cavalry. In terms of archers, the Feng Army also suffered a lot of losses. After this battle, the evacuated Feng Army will need a long period of training to adjust. After recovering, this period of time is enough for the Star Army to prepare for the follow-up, and when the two sides face off again, each will rely on their own abilities.
Early this morning, Lan Wu had ordered people to notify people in Yancheng and nearby cities to claim the bodies of their relatives. As for the bodies that were not claimed, he would record the information of those people clearly so that he could send people to report the funeral in the future. Now he needs to find a place to put them there first. Bury those bodies.
Although it is cold in winter, it is unlikely that corpses will cause plague, but it is not a good thing to leave those corpses for too long.
Putting aside those trivial matters, most of the people in the Star Army were resting early this morning, and tonight was their real celebration time.
It is worth mentioning that after the news of the Xing Army's victory over the Feng Army spread in the city last night, countless people cheered. They had waited for so long for such good news, and they were all extremely excited. After dawn, many people spontaneously He sent food to the army and even volunteered to help the Star Army prepare a celebration banquet. During this period, Lan Wu led some generals to visit the wounded soldiers.
Last night's battle made Lan Wu fully realize that soldiers who have not experienced war training cannot be called soldiers. They have certain deficiencies in executing military orders. The chaos after the defeat of Feng Army is the best example, but everything passed overnight. They are all different. Tens of thousands of star troops have experienced the test of war and become true warriors.
