There were corpses everywhere under Qiluo City. The corpses of the two armies were staggered and scattered in the open fields, and blood flowed into rivers.
The two sides fought for three days, which was quite brutal. Of the 130,000 troops brought out by Dai Qisi, only 80,000 were left.
The opponent's 300,000 troops were not much better, with less than 230,000 people left.
Being able to achieve such a battle-loss ratio despite being ambushed and at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, and also win the war, Dai Qisi can be regarded as a genius.
But there was no trace of excitement on her face, instead she felt a little guilty. Looking at the bloody battlefield in front of her, her body suddenly softened and she knelt on the ground.
Fifty thousand merchant soldiers lay dead here. To her, this was a huge loss.
All those who could be dragged here to fight were elites who had been carefully selected, and there were not many soldiers from Dashang who were good at fighting in plateau and mountainous areas. She was reimbursed fifty thousand yuan at once, and the feeling of guilt filled her heart.
I felt cramped and didn't know how to face Zhao Rui.
"Your Highness, there are too many prisoners who have surrendered. We only have 80,000 people, and we are exhausted. I'm afraid we can't control them!"
One of the lieutenants looked a little anxious, and his face was extremely pale, and it seemed that his physical strength had reached its limit.
Dai Qisi immediately came to her senses. Now was not the time to think wildly. She must receive Qiluo City and the surrendered troops as soon as possible.
"Let the surrendered Tibetan soldiers place all their weapons on the left side of the city gate, and then let them gather on the right side of the city gate. Our people will first occupy the surrounding commanding heights, and send 30,000 people to take over the city! In addition, let people
Send the news here back to Tuyuhun City as soon as possible and ask them to send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
The deputy general next to him did not dare to hesitate at all and went to do it immediately.
One day ago, a reinforcement force arrived from the direction of Tuyuhun City, consisting of five thousand troops led by Tubasang himself.
Originally he was supposed to stay there to defend the city, but after two days he still didn't see Dai Qisi come back, and there was no news from the front line, he became a little anxious and directly led 5,000 soldiers to support him. Who knew that he would also be trapped?
Heavy siege.
Fortunately, they turned defeat into victory, otherwise they would all be stuck here.
Just when everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, 50,000 troops led by Zhao Rui also arrived here.
This was not the first time Zhao Rui had fought in a war. He had seen larger battles and more dead people, but this was the first time he had seen such a tragic scene.
The topography here is extremely complex, making it very difficult for the two sides to fight. Some people fell directly off the cliff and died, while others were killed by loose rocks rolling down.
There was not a single seriously injured soldier on the entire battlefield. In this case, being injured meant death.
From a distance, Zhao Rui saw Dai Qisi at a glance, rushed over and hugged her directly.
"How about you, you're not hurt?"
Dai Qisi's eyes were filled with tears and her face was full of guilt.
"I'm sorry, but I have to reimburse you for just one battle with the 50,000 men and horses that you have worked so hard to save. They are all elites who can fight on the plateau. It will be difficult for us to fight in the future."
