The battle lasted all night, and until dawn, Linton's troops were still harvesting the remaining soldiers on the battlefield.
The whole battle was a chaos. There were too many soldiers around, people were everywhere, and no one knew what was going on.
The soldiers didn't figure out who attacked them until they were killed, and they had no one to ask because they couldn't even find where their generals were.
At first, they heard that Duke Gu Jingteng of Shu State had rebelled, and their general went to check the situation. But he never came back.
Then there was chaos everywhere, with soldiers running around without knowing what they were running from. Most of them didn't even see the enemy coming, so there was all kinds of inexplicable chaos.
Without really understanding what was going on, the camp had exploded. As the marshal, Li Jinglong also fled without a trace at this time. A large number of leading generals also fled to death, and the troops directly lost their command.
, there is not even anyone to organize a counterattack.
The fight lasted until daytime, but Linton and his troops could no longer kill anyone. Fortunately, the imperial army was almost wiped out.
The ground was almost covered with corpses scattered everywhere. Of course, most of the dead people were not killed by Linton's troops.
Although they killed a lot of people, they only had 10,000 cavalry in the end. It was obvious that most of the corpses on the ground were killed by themselves.
Some of them trampled on each other, some of them ran into the fire and burned themselves to death, and even more exaggerated, some of them beat themselves up like this.
The main reason for this incident at the beginning was that everyone suspected that someone was plotting a rebellion, but the problem is that no one has ever figured out who is plotting the rebellion and how many people are plotting the rebellion.
Some generals of the army did not follow to check the situation, or they were too late to go. As a result, they found out of nowhere that a large army was rushing towards him.
It was a dark and windy night, and he couldn't tell where the troops on the opposite side came from, whether they were enemy troops, or whether they were rebel troops.
He yelled loudly to tell them to stop and not get closer, but these words were of no use to shouting at the defeated army.
In the end, the two sides started fighting for no apparent reason. Both sides thought that the other side was a rebel, and the fighting became more and more fierce.
No one stopped them. After all, most of the top leaders of this legion were gone and they were running to death. Who could stop them and take charge of the overall situation?
So after a night of chaotic hacking and killing, the entire military camp near Qiu Town was destroyed, surrendered, fled, and completely collapsed.
Although they fought all night, the troops under Linton's command were still very excited. The battle they participated in was obviously an epic victory worthy of being recorded in history.
A force of 10,000 attacked an army of 400,000, and the result was a complete victory. Moreover, their troops did not suffer much loss, and they could still muster up about six or seven thousand. However, the enemy's army of 400,000 was defeated overnight.
The whole thing has been wiped out. What an exaggerated victory.
This situation is so exaggerated that even if they experience it personally, it is a bit unbelievable. Even if they brag to others in the future, they have to restrain themselves a little, otherwise they are likely to be considered as bragging.
At this time, all the soldiers looked at Linton with such fiery eyes, it was just like the unconditional admiration that Li Ying looked at Linton before. It can only be said that this military god is really amazing.
"Yeah, yeah, it's just as I expected." Linton nodded calmly. Of course, this "just as I expected" doesn't mean everything was in his plan, it's just that the result was in Linton's plan.
Anyway, now that he has accepted his fate, he can win no matter how hard he fights.
"General, we have taken in a lot of prisoners." At this time, Xu Jing, who was in the front, frowned and came back to report.
"Oh, how many?" Linton asked.
"Preliminary statistics show that the total number of prisoners exceeds 60,000." Xu Jing said with a deep expression.
Yes, although this sounds like a good thing, it is actually not. You must know that the remaining members of their current cavalry team are estimated to be only six or seven thousand people, but the total number of prisoners is 60,000. This is obviously not the case.
What benefits, but pressure.
Even if these 60,000 people have been disarmed now, that is still a total of 60,000 people. Of their thousands of troops, one person has to watch ten prisoners. Can this be a good thing?
Now, even these prisoners themselves did not understand the situation. After all, they did not know how many enemies there were. They just wanted to survive, so they surrendered first when they saw the enemies approaching.
Once they figure out the difference in numbers between the two sides, they will probably get interested.
"Then can we feed so many prisoners?" Linton asked directly.
Listening to Linton's tone as if he wanted to kill the prisoners, Xu Jing here immediately said: "General, we have captured a large amount of supplies this time, including all kinds of food and grass, armor, swords, guns, and equipment.
It’s hard to count. It’s more than enough to feed these people.”
Yes, although a large number of soldiers escaped from this hell on earth, the number was quite large, but all the baggage and equipment were left behind for Linton and the others.
You must know that this is the material prepared by the imperial court for more than 400,000 people to march and fight. Even if part of it was burned last night, the remaining amount is still very amazing. Not to mention Linton and his friends only have a few thousand.
The human army, even the 60,000 prisoners, would be enough to feed them for a while.
"This Li Jinglong is really a porter of nature. He really wants to learn from his predecessor with the same name." Linton couldn't help but say.
"Have the same name and surname? Could it be the God of War that my husband-in-law mentioned before..." Li Ying asked next to him, because he was also surprised. Didn't Linton say that the Fourteenth Emperor's uncle was the God of War before? He thought he was more capable of fighting. But yesterday
In the evening, he ran the fastest, and no one could be seen running.
If he had stayed to organize a counterattack, the army of 400,000 people would not have been defeated overnight and suffered such a disastrous defeat.
Just calling him God of War is not insulting the word God of War.
Now it seems that the God of War Li Jinglong mentioned by Linton is just another person with the same name.
"Forget it, just thank nature for its gift." Linton was too lazy to explain and waved his hand directly, "Now... let's collect the prisoners."
"Recruit...but these troops are not so easy to contain..." Xu Jing said.
"The others are difficult to conquer. Then Yao Guogong and Zhang Chun have rebelled. How can they not join us?" Linton said.
"Huh? But he's not..." Li Ying asked strangely. Of course, they had heard about the actual situation at this time.
"I said he rebelled, and he rebelled." Linton waved his hand and said, "Anyway, he is not the one who needs to be persuaded."
