When the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the scene under the city was clearly exposed to the people on the city tower.

The originally mighty and slaughtered 50,000 elite Qin troops were gone, replaced by corpses all over the ground, broken arms and limbs, and countless war horses wandering uneasy on the battlefield without their masters.

The ragged and charred flags were tilted, and all kinds of weapons were scattered on the battlefield.

Several broken flags were even inserted obliquely on the Qin army corpses piled up into the mountains. A wisp of flame rolled on one of the flags, and the remaining word "wood" on the flag was as red as blood.

That was the half-burning "Lin" character Shuaiqi.

On the two wing positions of the Qin army, at this time, piles of Qin soldiers knelt on the ground, covering their ears, kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, as if they had seen an evil ghost, murmuring and roaring incomprehensible syllables.

These are the local government soldiers who followed Lin Ruhai to fight this time, and many of them were even just new recruits who had just joined the army.

I thought that I could make some military achievements with the "God of Qin Army" to fight and make some future for myself.

But at this moment, they witnessed the invincible "God of Qin Army" in their hearts falling before them with their own eyes.

What's even more terrifying is that they experienced a terrifying war that they had never dreamed of. The cannon, which seemed to be thunder god, was simply a ghost who was roaring in hell. Wherever they went, they were killed and injured, and they could no longer stop it!

The horror and sharpness of the muskets and cannons completely shattered all their courage. They firmly believed that this was a heavenly soldier and general sent by God. They didn't even have the courage to escape, and they only knelt on the spot and waited for God's forgiveness.

Although he was scared a lot, some Qin troops, which were outside the range of the Tang army artillery, began to escape after the news of Lin Ruhai's death.

And there are quite a lot of them.

However, most of them cannot escape. On all possible escape routes, Tang Jun had already prepared his pockets and waited for them.

Of course, there will definitely be some lucky ones.

Shi Dakai stood at the top of the city and looked at the scenes under the city with a thousand-mile mirror. There was no trace of pride on his face, but instead a trace of unbearableness flashed through him.

Few people really like war. No matter what the reason for the war is, no matter what the motive and purpose, or whether it is the justice or injustice, war itself is ugly and perverted, and absolutely cannot be called great or beautiful.

All the beauty created by human civilization, whether tangible or invisible, will be destroyed and defiled whenever war occurs.

However, war is the destructor and the driving force for the progress of human civilization.

After the conflict between individuals escalates to the final form, it will be a fight, or more intense fights of cold weapons or even pulling guns to shoot each other.

The contradictions and conflicts between countries and civilizations will eventually be resolved in the form of war.

Human beings hate war, but the history of human development itself is also a history of war development.

It sounds contradictory, but that's the truth.

...

Tan Lun came to the silent Shi Dakai, looked at the city silent for a long time and said, "Warrior, Shi Ge, are you. Now you die to make it impossible for more people to die in the future. You must understand this principle."

Shi Dakai's expression relaxed a little: "Brother Tan, don't worry about me. This is not the first time I have experienced this scene. I just thought that these soldiers who died tragically on the battlefield were innocent people, but because of a transfer order from the court, they ran here to die. When their wives and children sent them to war, they probably wouldn't have been able to meet again. They were probably thinking about being able to kill some of the merits and return home this time, but they didn't expect to eventually bury their bones in a foreign land. When they thought of this, I felt a little worthless for them."

Tan Lun was silent when he heard this. This little brother had compassion for all living beings.

If it weren't for this, his original life wouldn't have ended up becoming a regrettable tragedy.

It was because he couldn't bear to follow him to die, so he took the initiative to go to the Qing army camp to negotiate. As a result, he was trapped by the Qing army who had gone back on his word and finally executed him.

Tan Lun actually appreciates this.

Although it is said that kindness does not control the soldiers, if a general does not have compassion, he will become a cold and vicious butcher demon, and will eventually be completely devoured by the violent aura in his heart, and eventually fall into a completely desolate.

Being kind does not control the army means that the general should be rational and cautious, and not act emotionally, not without compassion in his heart.

"Don't think about it. Their death is not meaningless. After this battle, the name of the lord will be completely launched and the reputation of our army will be widely known. In the future, there will be less trouble when going south, and there will be less deaths."

Tan Lun's persuasion Shi Dakai listened to it, his expression calmed down a lot, and he nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Tan, for your explanation, it's just a moment of feeling. I know what to do."

Tan Lun smiled and patted his shoulder: "I don't worry about you, and I hope you will always maintain this kind of compassion. If the lord knew, he would definitely advise you like this."

"Master must have been waiting for news from us. Brother Tan, you can now write a letter from your lord. I will arrange to clean the battlefield first."

Shi Dakai bowed and said.

The weather is hot now, and so many people have died. If you don’t deal with it earlier, it will easily cause plague.

Tan Lun and Shi Dakai had a clear division of labor. One of them returned to the Yanzhou General Administration Office to mobilize the labor force of the labor camp to assist the baggage battalion in cleaning the battlefield. The other one led the guards to command musketeers to inspect the battlefield. When they encountered living Qin soldiers, they directly captured prisoners, and those who were too seriously injured were directly injured.

In addition, those intact military equipment must be collected.

"The Grand Governor found a large amount of food and supplies behind the Qin army camp. It is estimated that there are about 20,000 stones of food and supplies."

"Report to the Grand Governor, 5,644 prisoners of the Qin army were captured!"

"Grandmaster, seized 1,458 war horses!"

...

A series of results came to Shi Dakai's side, and the staff officer next to him quickly recorded it in a small notebook with a charcoal pen.

When Shi Dakai listened to the news, he nodded casually to show that he knew.

Although these seizures are important, what he is most concerned about at the moment is the whereabouts of Lin Ruhai, the commander of the Qin army.

Although I saw a man who looked like Lin Ruhai fall from the observation car on the city tower before, my vision was blocked by the smoke everywhere.

Besides, there are so many people who don’t know whether Lin Ruhai is dead or alive.

Although even Lin Ruhai escaped by chance this time and did not have much impact on the overall situation, it was a problem in the end.

The dead Lin Ruhai is the best Lin Ruhai.

Therefore, Shi Dakai ordered his soldiers to try their best to find Lin Ruhai, and strive to see the corpse and the person.
