Nearly 300 enemy soldiers surrendered in the material area, and the rest died in battle. [26nbsp;] Xu Sancai asked Zhang Dali to clean the battlefield, collect prisoners, count his own casualties, and rescue the wounded; sent ten agricultural reclamation teams to inform the residents of the city that the Qin Dynasty had occupied Xiaoyue City; and sent ten cavalry teams to search for the remaining enemy soldiers and release the arrested soldiers and civilians.
Zhang Dali took the prisoners to the prison where the residents were originally detained. After cleaning the battlefield, he counted the materials and spoils in the warehouse. Among them, the full set of armor and equipment seized were nearly 2,000 sets, more than 3,000 sets of equipment in the material area, a large amount of food and grass and other military supplies, as well as more than 200,000 gold coins, and more than 500 war horses were seized.
What Zhang Dali was most excited about was that he captured Xiaoyue City and obtained a large amount of supplies. All the troops were now equipped. Zhang Dali asked Xu Sancai how to deal with the prisoners: According to the past practice of the Chaos Continent, the prisoners were killed or treated as slaves, just like the prisoners of Yueshan Kingdom were driven to the mining area to start mining.
Xu Sancai said: "Don't do that, tell the prisoners to stay here for the time being. When the war between us and An Jiguo ends, they will naturally give them freedom, so as not to be sent to the battlefield after they go back."
Zhang Dali said in confusion: "King Qin, you said you let them go, why? We are already very kind to not kill them. We might as well ask them to work hard labor to dig irrigation canals or go mining. Anyway, An Jiguo also dealt with the captives of Yueshan Kingdom in this way."
Xu Sancai said: "Da Li, do you think the Qin Kingdom will maintain the original territory of Yueshan Kingdom? Or should there be more territory?"
Zhang Dali said: "Of course the bigger the territory, the better."
Xu Sancai said: "If we want to expand our territory, we must regard the residents of the new territory as our own residents. Otherwise, if these people cannot be united with us, it will be useless for us to occupy it. Moreover, have you ever thought that if we kill and abuse the prisoners, other enemies will fight to the death when they know it. But if the enemy knows that we treat the prisoners preferentially, in the future, more enemy soldiers will surrender, which will not only retain the manpower of the territory, but also reduce our casualties. After all, those prisoners will also be our people in the future."
Zhang Dali slapped his head hard and said, "King Qin, I am so stupid. Haha, with the three talents, I believe it is not impossible to take down the entire Anjiguo."
Xu Sancai smiled slightly and said, "Da Li, is our goal just an An Jiguo? Remember, the greater your wish, the greater your gains will be. Our goal is not just an An Jiguo, even the South Vietnamese country is too small."
Zhang Dali opened his eyes wide in surprise. In his mind, South Vietnam was an unattainable country. The Yueshan Kingdom also needed to accept the protection of North Vietnam. The Yueshan Kingdom's demise was because of the loss of North Vietnam's protection. Xu San knew that Zhang Dali could not accept it for the time being, and he smiled and said no more.
Zhang Dali personally arranged the treatment of the wounded cavalry, counted the casualties, placed the cavalry to rest, and returned to the stone house to report: the cavalry troops died in total, more than 40 people were injured, and more than 200 were injured, and 800 people could continue to fight. This was of course because the enemy in the material area had lost their fighting spirit, their formation was completely chaotic, and there were no archers, so the final charge losses were greatly reduced.
Zhang Dali came to ask whether to return to Qingticheng immediately. After considering it, Xu Sancai decided to let the cavalry rest and wait until the agricultural reclamation troops led by Zhang Meng arrived before making plans. Since the attack was in the dark and the city gate had been closed, no enemy escaped from the city. He asked Zhang Dali to arrange for the agricultural reclamation troops to take over the guards of the city gate and temporarily prevent people from going out, blocking the news that Xiaoyue City was occupied.
In addition, in order to smoothly receive Xiaoyuecheng and of course to obtain the greatest energy of the Divine Emperor's Skill, Xu Sancai asked Zhang Dali to arrange the agricultural reclamation troops to investigate and register Xiaoyuecheng residents, and take out some of the grain in the material area to distribute it to the residents in the city. He temporarily lived in a stone house to practice. This battle captured Xiaoyuecheng with extremely small casualties, and he killed several major officers one after another, winning the support of all the soldiers.
However, as Xu Sancai's cultivation level improves, the accumulation of combat energy required has also increased significantly. All of this energy is used for combat energy cultivation, but he did not advance again. However, in the following two days, residents of Xiaoyue City learned that the Qin State had driven away the occupying army of An Jiguo and obtained relief grains, allowing him to obtain a large amount of Divine Emperor's Skills energy, and finally advanced to level 9 warrior and level 8 **.
Although most of the agricultural reclamation troops led by Zhang Meng were from villagers who were accustomed to climbing mountains, it took three days to arrive at Xiaoyue City. They waited on the top of the mountain for two hours, and hundreds of enemy soldiers who had passed through the wildfire attempted to escape to the mountain, but were shot and killed by the archers of the agricultural reclamation troops. The agricultural reclamation troops did not suffer any losses.
There was no left behind under the burning of wildfires, so Zhang Meng naturally had no need to collect the spoils. However, without casualties, a 10,000-person unit of the enemy was severely damaged. Zhang Meng and the soldiers were already prone to the ground. After the troops entered the city, they heard that there was no big loss and took down Xiaoyue City. When they saw him, the troops cheered and shouted long live in unison, which led to the troops entering the city early joining the cheers, and the long live voice suddenly rang out into the sky.
It is worth mentioning that due to the blockade of the news that Xiaoyue City was occupied, An Jiguo still did not know that he sent another transport team to transport a large number of supplies. Naturally, he was disarmed as soon as he entered the city, and all the transport teams of the front-line troops were arrested when they returned.
Xu Sancai reviewed the troops and summoned officers such as Zhang Meng and Zhang Dali to arrange tasks. After more than two days of rest, the cavalry had completely recovered their combat effectiveness. He asked Zhang Meng to select and supplement more than 100 people from the agricultural reclamation troops and gathered a thousand cavalry back to Qingtiengcheng. He sent another thousand agricultural reclamation troops to destroy the two avenues from Qingtiengcheng to Xiaoyue City, and the road from Xiaoyue City to Anjiguo.
Zhang Meng was responsible for seizing Xiaoyue City. On the one hand, he defended Xiaoyue City and protected the seized materials. On the other hand, he continued to count the residents of Xiaoyue City, and distributed relief grains to maintain public order in the city. Since An Jiguo did not have many transportation vehicles and the transportation teams were transported back and forth, Xu Sancai captured the transportation team, but there would be no new materials to transport.
However, the transportation team never returns, and An Jiguo will inevitably send people to investigate. Therefore, Xiaoyue City may also be attacked by the enemy at any time. Xu Sancai left Zhang Meng the task of defending the city to the death. Then, he brought Zhang Dali and a thousand cavalry back to Qingtieng City.
