The creaking sound woke up the wheat iron stick. He opened his eyes and found that there was a crisscrossing light in front of him. The first thing that caught his eye was the dark sky, and there were people talking around him, his face was shining with flashing flames, and he looked a little hideous.

"I'm not dead?"

"Oh, man is awake? You are not dead."

"Uh...help me..."

He struggled to sit up and found himself lying in a carriage with several wounded soldiers sitting next to him, and several soldiers walking outside the carriage were watching him.

Mai Tiezhang felt his head hurt so he reached out to touch it and found that his head had been bandaged by cloth. He was about to ask the wounded soldier next to him, but he nodded in the other direction, and everything was silent.

He was not dead, but he survived, his whole body was covered in injuries, but he was fine, his hands and feet were still there, and he had a lot of fingers.

It is dark now, and half an hour has passed since the end of the battle, which is only two incense sticks. Of course, we have defeated the powerful enemy, and today's bloody battle has been won.

Those who were injured could walk slowly back to Chai Village, and those who were seriously injured were carried back by carriages. Now that the wind and snow are storms, they cannot stay in the wild for a long time, otherwise it would be a bad idea to cause the injury to worsen.

"Brother, you'd better lie down. It's not a trivial matter to have a head hurt."

"It's okay, I'm lucky. If I don't die on the spot, I won't die..."

Mai Tiezhang struggled to get out of the car and gave the position to other wounded soldiers. He was persuaded by the soldiers accompanying him: "Come on, man, you almost got someone to open your head. Sit down well, don't just toss your head so hard that it's really open it, how about it?"

"Hey, as soon as I lay in the car, I felt that I was being taken away by someone..."

"Speak up, this is!" Several wounded soldiers laughed and scolded. They were not so pretentious and could not listen to any unlucky words.

Mai Tiezhang smiled "hehe" and said that he was not afraid of death, but he still sat in the car honestly and tightened the cloak that had been covered with it. It was already night, and it was cold and it really made him feel a little unbearable.

Looking up, a long line was moving towards Chai Village. Although the final battle site was not far from Chai Village, there were corpses everywhere along the way, including people and horses.

This is the case near and far away. Looking around, there is a mess, with all kinds of dead bodies lying in the wilderness. Many soldiers are grouped with three people, restraining their bodies and cleaning the battlefield.

By the way, I would like to give the enemy soldiers who had not died but could not live long.

Today is a bloody battle, from morning to evening, after extremely excited, Mai Tiebang felt weak all over. Thinking of the dead comrades, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and then asked:

"How many casualties are we?"

"How could you know, there are dead people everywhere, and the generals will know the specific number of casualties." A wounded soldier said, but his tone was not that heavy: "Don't worry, many people have become bloody people. After stripping the armor, they are all skin injuries and struggle to get up, and at least they can stand by themselves."

"Oh, the armor we wear is a little heavy, but the quality is really good, right? It's great if you're shot like a hedgehog."

"It's useless to get hit by a horse with armor... My team has more than 50% of casualties... Alas, maybe there are more than 20% of casualties in the entire army..."

Hulin Army teaches soldiers to read and write, so everyone has a good basic arithmetic level. In this battle, the troops in the headquarters have exceeded 4,000. If more than 20% of the casualties are killed or killed, there will be at least 800 of them.

It was a bit miserable, but not to the point of being hurt. This topic was a bit heavy, but everyone was not depressed.

Since we came to join the army, the Hulin Army was the one who joined the army. The soldiers had already figured it out. They were killed on the battlefield, died without any complaints, and continued to find ways to make military achievements while alive. Anyway, the soldiers who were killed and disabled will have enough pensions, and their families will be properly placed. It is boring to think about those unhappy things.

The carriage quickly drove into Chai Village, and there were also large corpses undulating on the outside of Chai Village. Many soldiers looked outside with bows and arrows, guarding against someone's sneak attack at night.

Most of the enemy troops were cavalry, and they fled quickly and turned around and rushed over quickly. Although they had won a great victory today, no one guaranteed that among the dispersed cavalry, some of the people who took risks would turn back to launch sneak attacks.

As the wind and snow were wind and snow, many young and strong people lit torches to restrain the antlers and resisted the corpses next to the horse. Although the corpses did not rot so quickly as they were today, it was not a big deal to pile outside the village. If someone came over at night and lie on the ground to put the corpse on it, it would be difficult to distinguish the authenticity, so the corpse had to be carried away.

By the way, I took off my armor, packed up the weapons I could use, and even had to "recycle" the boots I wore on my feet.

Of course, it is unlucky for dead people, but it is not so particular on the battlefield. Most of the boots worn by cavalrymen are good, so you don’t have to worry about frostbite when you wear them on your feet. The valuable things on these dead people...

The official army said that the armor and weapons must be handed over, and the other items, whoever collects the corpse will belong to whom the body will belong.

With such benefits, the young and strong men in the army were full of energy. Even though many people had never seen a dead person, they were dizzy when they saw blood and still had the courage to collect the corpse. Every distance was the soldiers to supervise them, so as not to pretend to be dead and suddenly attack.

Mai Tiezhang looked at the scene of collecting corpses and suddenly thought that if he fell on the battlefield, would he have been stripped of his armor and boots, and swept away the valuable things?

Then he was carried into a big pit and buried, or he was exposed to the wilderness, and was gnawed by wild beasts to only a single bone?

The scene was a bit desolate, but Mai Tiebang didn't care.

A man who dies on the battlefield will die vigorously. How ugly would it be if he lies on the sickbed with yellow complexion, lying on his sickbed, smelling of herbs, and finally choking to death by phlegm?

The carriage entered Chai Village and looked at the noisy camp. Mai Tiebang suddenly remembered something: "By the way, the enemy commander...what is the treacherous minister?"

Several wounded soldiers in the same car sighed when they heard this: "Oh, don't mention it, we were cheated today!"

"ah?"

......

In a camp in Chai Village, Tian Zhengyue talked with He Ruobi. As the chief general of their respective armies, they did not need to deal with the complicated military affairs. At this time, the two were discussing the situation of the war.

As bait, the Hulin Army successfully led the snake out of the hole, but the snake was too big. As a detour cavalry, He Ruobi actually expected the sneak attack to fail, but he accidentally touched the enemy's main formation.

"Thanks to General He Ruo's quick wisdom and using fake heads to earn a great chaos in the enemy's morale. Otherwise, with the opponent's military advantage, once we concentrate on counterattack, our army's casualties will probably exceed half, and today will be a miserable draw."

Tian Zhengyue's praise contained some helplessness. He really thought that Yuchi Dun was beheaded by He Ruobi, and he was ecstatic, but in the end it was fake.

"You're not tired of cheating..."

He Ruobi smiled. At that time, he was wise in a hurry and scared a large number of enemy soldiers to think that the commander Yuchi Dun was killed. Then the morale of the army was in chaos. He was rushed by his own cavalry and was defeated in an instant.

But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, his strength must be in place. He Ruobi looked at the battlefield carefully and saw corpses all over the ground, and couldn't help but admire the performance of the Hulin Army.

Being besieged by so many cavalrymen, from morning to afternoon, and endured countless charges. Not only did they not collapse, they took the initiative to attack the enemy's main formation. It was not the enemy who came to collect the corpses for them, but they collected the corpses for the enemy.

Preliminary statistics show that the Hulin Army, with a force of more than 4,000 troops, suffered nearly 1,000 casualties in this battle, which was considered to be full of flesh and blood, but it was not damaged. Considering that this was a casualty in combat with the cavalry, He Ruobi admired the Hulin Army very much.

The average army collapsed by 20% of casualties on the battlefield, let alone the repeated attacks of enemy cavalry. He had never seen such a tenacious infantry for decades.

It would be normal for Yuwen Wen, who had trained this army, to be able to defend the lonely city, Xuanhu, for several months without losing it.

He Ruobi had a definite understanding of the strength of King Yuwen Wen of Xiyang, but no matter how he felt, how to fight the next battle was a matter that must be considered.

The Hulin Army suffered 20% casualties, and his cavalry suffered more than 30%, which makes people feel a little sad, but the enemy's casualties were even heavier.

In today's battle, our side won a great victory. According to rough statistics, the number of enemy soldiers killed no less than 7,000, nearly half of them were defeated and were chased and killed by our side.

It seems that the enemy army should have nearly half of the casualties, which are considered to be beaten to pieces.

There were relatively few casualties on our side, and there were no capturings, including at least more than 3,000 war horses. This was a veritable victory, but we should not be happy too early.

The enemy was defeated, but the threat was still the same, because most of the opponent was cavalry. After the collapse, they would gather sooner or later and continue to fight. This is the helplessness of the few cavalrymen: they cannot chase after victory, and they cannot drive the opponent away.

Tian Zhengyue didn't have many cavalry on hand, and He Ruobi's cavalry suffered a considerable loss, so after the enemy was defeated, the effect of taking advantage of the situation to cover up the killing was limited. Generally speaking, his side defeated the opponent rather than annihilated it.

So how to rest and rectify the army and fight the next battle is the problem that Tian Zhengyue and He Ruobi want to solve, but before that, they have to make a judgment on something.
