Wang Qizhi jumped off his horse and shouted to the soldiers: "You surrender! We will treat the prisoners preferentially."
Unexpectedly, these soldiers ignored what Wang Qizhi said and rushed towards the enemy regardless of their physical fatigue.
Wang Qizhi sighed softly. He didn't expect that Wei Meng's soldiers could perform like this. There were only ten thousand people, facing dozens of times more enemies, but they didn't have a trace of fear. No wonder Wei Meng dared to fight more with less.
Wang Qizhi waved his big hand and fired countless arrows at the enemy. After consuming some of the enemy's strength, before Wang Qizhi could make arrangements, a group of messengers in embroidered clothes took the lead and took action in less than an hour. .
Wang Qizhi looked at the corpses on the battlefield and felt extremely sad. These were all alive. Is it really worth dying in the civil war?
He is now beginning to reflect on what he has done, but for the sake of world stability, he has to do this. After the war, he will properly handle the funeral affairs of these soldiers, all as an explanation to them and their families.
Wang Qizhi said to Pang Tong: "Count the casualties and dispose of the bodies of the soldiers."
Pang Tongyi cupped his hands and said, "Here!"
At this time, Jiang Chong slowly walked over, raised his hands to Wang Qizhi, and said in a hoarse voice: "Greetings to His Royal Highness."
At this time, Jiang Yiyi and Sun Xiangman also came over and said to Jiang Chong: "Meet the commander."
Since Wang Qizhi was present, Jiang Chong did not dare to say anything, so the three of them kept bowing and holding hands.
Wang Qizhi gave the commander a cold look and said, "Get up quickly, I can't afford such a great gift from you."
To be honest, Wang Qizhi didn't have a good impression of this commander. He acted strangely and had an extremely weird temper. Although he saved Wang Qizhi several times, he always felt weird in his heart and made people feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Chong stood up straight in embarrassment. Jiang Yiyi and Sun Xiangman also retracted their hands.
Jiang Chong said: "My subordinate is late, please don't blame me, Your Highness."
Wang Qizhi didn't talk nonsense to him, and said directly: "I think you are not late, but you are waiting."
Jiang Chong knowingly asked, "What are you waiting for?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid here. In fact, you have been here a long time ago and are just waiting. If we lose, you will retreat and conserve your strength. If Wei Meng can't hold on anymore, take action immediately to win support. Protect the Lord’s good reputation.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chong was a little surprised, and then clapped his hands, "Your Highness, it's really impressive that we are so long."
"You are right. I am weighing it to see if your Highness is worth our lives."
Wang Qizhi held his chin with his hand and said, "If it's not worth it, I'm afraid you will kidnap Yan'er and Qing'er to help my unborn child become the co-owner of this world."
Hearing this, Jiang Chong was a little surprised, but he didn't show much shock and said: "Your Highness is really smart, and he is indeed the person favored by Emperor Gaozu."
Wang Qizhi looked at Jiang Chong in surprise and said, "How did you know that I had met Emperor Gaozu?"
Jiang Chong looked at His Highness the Prince as if he were a fool, and said: "How come such a smart person like Your Highness cannot figure out such a simple thing? Doesn't it mean that you have learned the Nine Dragon Transformation Cauldron Technique?"
Wang Qizhi's eyes suddenly became sharp and he said: "Of course I can figure it out, it's just that I can't see through you."
Jiang Chong was stunned at first, and then laughed, "Hahaha, your Highness is so good at tricking even me."
Jiang Yiyi and Sun Xiangman were stunned as they watched the verbal battle between the two. Every word they said was full of mystery. If you didn't pay attention, you would lose track of their thoughts. Is this how smart people get along with each other?
Jiang Chong didn't want to dwell too much on this matter and started talking about business.
"Your Highness, since we have come to seek refuge, how do you arrange it?"
Although Wang Qizhi did not want to see the embroidered clothes commander, he had more than 40,000 masters under his command, making him a force that should not be underestimated.
"It's not to see how I arrange it, but to see if you are willing to be loyal to me."
It seems that His Highness the Prince is still worried about Jiang Chong. It's no wonder. Who makes them also worried about Wang Qizhi?
Wang Qizhi continued: "You can just follow me temporarily. I will make my own arrangements for the rest."
Jiang Chong cupped his hands and said, "Here!"
After Jiang Chong left, Jiang Yiyi asked: "Qi Zhi, are you so trusting of this commander?"
Although Jiang Yiyi and Sun Xiangman are also embroiderers, Wang Qizhi has long surpassed the status of embroiderers in their hearts, so compared with the two, they naturally prefer Wang Qizhi.
Wang Qizhi said: "Although it is doubtful that Jiang Chong came to seek refuge with me, there is no doubt that he is loyal to Dayuan. Otherwise, after so many years, he would have taken refuge with others or established himself on his own. How could he still wait until today?"
Wang Qizhi set up camp in a nearby city for the troops to rest and recuperate. Because of their strict military discipline, no one dared to disturb the lives of the nearby people, which was praised by the people.
It took Pang Tong and his soldiers several days to clear the battlefield. According to statistics, both sides lost 100,000 troops each. It seemed like a tie. But don't forget that the enemy army was several times smaller than Wang Qizhi's army. Wan, in this case, the two sides ended in a tie, which shows how strong the Wei and Meng troops are.
Since there were too many corpses, they could not all be taken back for burial. Moreover, it would take too long to bury them one by one. Before all the sacrificed soldiers could be buried, they would stink, and a plague would occur over time. Therefore, Pang Tong unified all the corpses. The bodies were buried in several large pits.
The corpses of the guards and Wang Qizhi's army were separated and sprinkled with a large amount of lime before burial to prevent the occurrence of plague.
The reason why Wang Qizhi did not burn all the corpses with a fire, but instead used this time-consuming and laborious method to deal with them, is because today's people believe that any corpse burned by fire will not be able to enter the Paradise, let alone be reincarnated. reincarnation.
Wang Qizhi naturally didn't believe this, but the soldiers and the people believed that if he really did this, it would easily have a bad influence on the army and the people would be resentful. If a rebellion resulted from this, it would be too much of a loss.
Under Wang Qizhi's arrangement, Pang Tong recorded all the dead soldiers one by one, and finally handed them all into Wang Qizhi's hands.
He looked at a stack of books, and then heard Pang Tong report the number of soldiers lost. Wang Qizhi was a little shocked, "Why are there so many."
Pang Tong said truthfully: "My lord, although Wei Meng is cunning and treacherous, he is really good at leading soldiers and winning people's hearts. That's why we lost so many people."
