Call of the Other World: Rebuilding the Glory of Zhenbei

Chapter 62: Cleaning up the battlefield and taking inventory after the battle

On the battlefield, when Qin Hao fled in panic under the coercion of Lu Jiao, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Yellow Turban Army at Tianlang Pass, causing the Yellow Turban refugees, who had already reached their limit, to completely collapse.

The refugees were already on the verge of defeat, and the generals of the Yellow Turban Army began to seek ways to survive.

At this point, there was no need for them to continue fighting. Even if they fought to the end, it would not change the outcome.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with the smell of gunpowder and dust.

Broken arrows and shattered shields scattered on the ground, telling of the fierce battle that had just taken place.

Looking at the Yellow Turban bandits fleeing into the mountains, Han Shenxing stopped his horse, the sunlight shining on his blood-stained armor. The black halberd in his hand hung low, with an arrogant smile on the corner of his mouth. Tan Tai Fang, Li Cunxiao and others stood on their horses behind him, looking into the distance with serious expressions.

It can be said that the soldiers in the mountains have no idea what is happening in the mountains behind them. Even if a large army escapes into the mountains, you won’t know it.

There has been a saying since ancient times that mountains are home to hidden soldiers. Once someone escapes into the mountains, even an army of 100,000 searching the mountain may not be able to find them quickly.

The mountains can be used to station troops but not to hide them. Only the endless mountains, with one mountain taking turns to provide cover, can help one escape deep into the mountains. It is possible to get lost even if one is not familiar with the way.

"Your Highness, Qin Hao and other thieves have escaped. Should we chase them?" At this time, Lu Jiao was looking into the distance, looking at the direction Qin Hao fled, and said to Han Shenxing.

Qin Hao and his men fled too quickly, and in all directions. He was powerless to do anything in the face of the chaos.

What's more, there are three divine generals this time. If it is a one-on-one battle, Lu Jiao can put aside his bold words and kill them in ten rounds. However, there are three of them this time, and he has the will but not the power.

At this time, Han Shenxing looked at the empty and endless Tianlang Mountains in front of him, and immediately shook his head and said: "Go back, he will come back, he will not give up!"

"This boy is not a simple person."

"Besides, we will need him to check and balance the Yellow Turbans in the future."

He can die, but at least not now."

The bodies of the many soldiers who had been charging in the front were already stained red with blood, but most of the blood was splashed on their bodies when they were slaughtering the enemy.

"He ran away, so he deserved it!" Han Shenxing smiled heartily, and then said, "Okay, the war has come to an end for the time being. Clean up the battlefield and follow me to Tianlang Pass to have a drink!"

The soldiers of the Armor-Breaking Camp responded loudly and the atmosphere was lively. In such cold weather, nothing could make them more excited than drinking.

"The entire army should gather the defeated soldiers and clean up the battlefield!" Tan Tai on the side gave the order.

"Clean up the battlefield!" With these four simple words uttered, it also symbolized that the battle had begun to come to an end.

However, although this war has come to an end, the impact it brought has only just begun to take effect, including its impact on Daxia, its impact on the Yellow Turbans, and even its impact on the world.

After the battle, it is natural to clean up the battlefield.

However, only the victorious party in a battle has the right to clean up the battlefield. This is also the most normal thing in war. The losing party is only concerned with escaping from the battlefield, so how could it care about cleaning up the battlefield?

The cavalry patrolled on the battlefield. They were not only responsible for the safety of the soldiers on the battlefield, but also had the task of finding the remnants of the enemy army. All of these would become their merits on the battlefield.

Cleaning the battlefield is a good job. You can collect some abandoned weapons and clothing, and even find a broken armor if you are lucky.

Although the Zhenbei Army is no longer short of war horses, Han Shenxing is not a foolish person. No one would complain about having too many war horses. Even if some war horses are unable to go to the battlefield due to serious injuries, they can be turned into ordinary horses for transportation.

As for those ordinary horses that are seriously injured and about to die, they can be taken back directly, cooked over a big fire, and let the soldiers have a good meal. It can be regarded as a waste utilization.

In the previous battle, at least a hundred cavalrymen were left on the battlefield. Their horses and weapons had to be taken away. Even the meat on a fly's leg was still meat. In the future, when dealing with powerful foreign tribes outside the Great Wall, Han Shenxing never despised it. He had more horses and weapons under his command.

In short, as the future master of the Zhenbei King's Army, Han Shenxing must of course utilize all resources to squeeze out their surplus value.

Used to gain more benefits for his Zhenbei Army.

The remaining soldiers had already begun cleaning up the battlefield. The bodies of the Yellow Turban bandits were thrown aside at random. After they were completely collected, whether to build a memorial or burn them would depend on Han Shenxing's opinion. The bodies of his comrades would be burned and then sent back to their hometown for burial.

On that day, the ground outside Tianlang Pass was littered with corpses and the dead were everywhere. It took several hours just to clean up the battlefield.

Even if a war is won, the victorious side will have to pay a price, and countless people will be sacrificed.

The victorious side will indeed cheer loudly when they win, celebrating the hard-earned victory.

But after the cheers, they found that their former comrades had turned into cold corpses and their old friends had closed their eyes forever. Such pain would make everyone silent.

Han Shenxing held the reins and pulled the warhorse under him slowly forward.

A group of soldiers from the Armor-Breaking Camp behind him surrounded Han Shenxing in the center and followed him closely forward.

Victory does not come without a price.

A large number of soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield. Corpses left behind by the Yellow Turban Army could be seen everywhere, as well as scattered rubble and arrows. This was enough to show how brutal the siege had been in the past few days.

"Also, make a clear count of the fallen soldiers and find out if they have any family members. After the war, we will issue them pensions according to the standards of our Zhenbei Army!"

The mountain range stretching for more than ten miles was littered with the corpses of soldiers and horses from both sides.

The mountain range, which was originally a pleasant sight, was now mixed with rain and blood, and slowly flowed into the Sirius River along the terrain. The surface of the river had been dyed red with blood, and the ice had melted a lot.

The brutality of this battle is enough to make one tremble in one's heart just by looking at the scene before one's eyes.

But with the arrival of spring, I believe that thanks to the magic of nature, it will slowly return to its former beauty.

But the soldiers of the Armor-Breaking Battalion who died in the battle will never come back.

When the cleanup was almost complete, a group of civilians appeared on the battlefield, each of them lowered their heads and picked up the arrows on the battlefield swiftly.

Don't underestimate the simple task of cleaning the battlefield. After each battle, about 60% to 70% of the arrows picked up can be recovered, and most of them can be used immediately.

Feather arrows are consumables and also the most needed supplies in war.

However, at this moment, a series of system prompts suddenly rang in Han Shenxing's ears. "

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for opening the hidden mission, Yellow Turban Rebellion"

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden mission, Guardian of Tianlang Pass"

Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for exceeding the target of completing the first hidden main mission! "

Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for exceeding the target of completing the second hidden main mission, "The Army in Power"! "
