The battle lasted from noon to dusk, and the moment the last food soldier fell, the battle ended completely.
The battlefield is filled with human corpses and horse corpses that can't be seen to the end.
Some are still intact, some are divided into two halves, and some have turned into flesh.
Swords, guns, swords, halberds, various weapons and dense arrows are everywhere.
Diagonally inserted into the ground or corpse at various angles.
As dusk approached, the sun had already set, and mist began to rise from the ground.
Some war horses that had lost their owners stood alone on the battlefield, shaking their heads and chirping sadly.
There were a few old crows standing on the dead trees nearby, croaking.
Some tattered flags burned and crackled on the corpses.
Under the Bam Castle, a huge and tight circular military formation was still standing.
The soldiers were still too far away from the battlefield.
They could not clearly see the battle between the cavalry and the Western Qin Army.
They had been standing here for a whole afternoon.
Even if Nothing was done, but they were all exhausted.
Many had cracked lips due to severe dehydration, and some had already fallen to the ground.
A big food scout kept whipping the war horse and galloped over.
He stopped in front of the military formation and ran towards the coach Manhard.
The big food infantry made way for him to pass.
The detective sentry galloped to In front of Manhard, he gasped and reported: "Your Excellency, all of our six thousand cavalry are dead."
"What did you just say?"
A general quickly stepped forward and grabbed the detective's shirt and said angrily.
The detective said in fear: "All our cavalry are dead, not a single one is left."
"Ah" all the surrounding Dashi soldiers heard it, and they all became frightened.
The news spread quickly like the wind.
After a while, all the Dashi infantrymen in the entire huge army formation knew about it.
This bad news.
Manhard's expression was unprecedentedly nervous.
He never expected that the battle would be so miserable.
Not one of the six thousand cavalrymen escaped, and all of them died in the battle.
Manhard signaled to his general, asking him to let go of the sentinel reporting the news, and asked in a deep voice: "What are the casualties of the Western Qin Army?
How many people participated in the battle?"
The detective hesitated for a moment and said: "I didn't dare to get too close.
I didn't do any specific calculations, but there should be no more than two thousand people.
There are about six thousand people participating in the battle.
They are cleaning the battlefield now."
Well, even if the Western Qin Army suffered 2,000 casualties, and all 6,000 of the Great Food Army died, the total casualty ratio would be one to three.
This result is something that Manhard cannot accept and face seriously.
You must know that these 6,000 cavalry are The Guards cavalry of Caliph Mansur was the most elite cavalry in the Kingdom of Great Food.
The casualty ratio between this elite cavalry and the cavalry of the Western Qin Army was three to one, which made Manhard start to feel chills in his heart.
Manhard knew that his idea of advocating an active attack was a bit ridiculous.
It was not ridiculous but extremely stupid to take an active attack when the gap in combat effectiveness was so huge.
In fact, Dashi Detective Overestimated the number of casualties of the Western Qin Army.
After cleaning the battlefield, statistics showed that the total casualties of the Western Qin Army were 928 people.
In fact, 549 people were killed and 377 were injured. people, the real casualty ratio is six to one.
This battle can be regarded as a relatively heavy casualty for the Western Qin Army.

In previous battles, the casualties of the Western Qin Army were very few with more than 1,000 people.
In Zhao Ziliang's view, the combat effectiveness of the Dashi Army's cavalry It's still possible.
"Your Majesty General, what should we do?"
a general asked, looking at Manhard.
Manhard turned his head and looked at the surrounding environment and terrain, then looked at Bam Castle on the right, gritted his teeth and said: "Set up camp immediately, build defensive tools as soon as possible, and set up camp before it gets completely dark.
Send someone to tell the people in the castle and ask them to take out their tools to help.
Now the Western Qin Army has just experienced a battle and is cleaning the battlefield and resting.
They don't have time to attack us yet.
We must finish cleaning the battlefield before they do.
Take defensive measures beforehand” "Yes, Your Excellency General," the generals agreed and quickly began to implement it.
Manhard was very worried.
He had led troops for many years.
Of course he knew that the terrain around Bam Oasis was flat and the castle next to it was too small to be suitable for camping.
However, there was no other place for him to choose. .
The best way to camp is to camp on a mountain or on a high ground.
There are only two options for him.
One is to camp on the spot relying on the castle, and the other is to evacuate everyone into the castle.
However, Bam Castle is not big.
At this time, There are already many people in the castle.
If these 22,000 people enter the castle again, the drinking water and food stored in the castle will not be enough to feed so many people.
Just as Manhard was setting up camp with more than 20,000 infantrymen under his command, the Western Qin Army had already finished cleaning the battlefield.
The soldiers, under the command of the general and captain, camped in the open space next to them.
The unit pitched a tent, and the tents were arranged in a specific formation according to certain rules.
There were no fences, horses, or watch towers erected around the camp.
Outside the tents in the camp, the soldiers of the Western Qin Army sat around the fires and talked.
Some were discussing the battle just now, and some were thinking about how much military exploits they could get after this battle.
How many rewards can they get or whether they can be promoted?
Some are heating rice cereal in steel boxes.
Er Zhu and several generals walked into the Chinese army's tent and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, it's time to patrol the camp."
Zhao Ziliang was drinking rice cereal and chewing greasy beef jerky.
Hearing this, he raised his head and asked, "How are the patrol arrangements going?"
Wei Gao stood up and clasped his fists and said: "The deployment has been completed and the First Division Battalion of the Second Army will be responsible for security patrols in the camp."
Zhang Bi of the Huya Army stood up and clasped his fists and said: "The First Brigade of the Huya Army is responsible for the investigation and patrol of peripheral security posts, secret posts and detection posts."
"Okay."
Zhao Ziliang ate in a hurry, wiped his mouth, took the wet towel handed over by a guard next to him, wiped his face, and said to everyone: "Let's go."
In the camp, the soldiers sitting around the fire saw Zhao Ziliang and others approaching, and they all stood up and said hello: "Hello, your king."
Zhao Ziliang was walking and talking with the generals when he heard someone saying hello.
He stopped and smiled and nodded to the soldiers saying hello: "Okay, you continue."
"The casualties this time are relatively large, which are rare in previous wars.
Those who died in the battle are nothing more than compensation.
The weather is too hot now, and the remains may not be preserved for a few days.
They will be cremated tomorrow morning. , after collecting the ashes, send people back to Jiling City, and then the logistics department will send them back to Xinjing for collective burial."
Chen Qing, who was marching Sima, raised his hands and agreed: "Yes, Wei Chen will arrange manpower to do this tomorrow morning."
Zhao Ziliang then told Du Fu, who was in charge of logistics: "There are more wounded people this time.
Do we have enough medicine stores for this battle?"

Du Fu said: "There is no problem for the time being, but it will be difficult to say after a long time."
Zhao Ziliang instructed: "Send someone to Jiling City as soon as possible to ask Zheng San to collect more medicines, especially healing medicines, spirits and heat stroke medicines.
In addition, care for the wounded must be more meticulous.
Now The weather is hot and wounds are prone to infection and suppuration.
We must pay attention to keeping the healing camp clean and allowing the wounded soldiers to keep their wounds clean."
"yes" Zhao Ziliang took the general officials to inspect various parts of the camp.
On the way back, he remembered something and asked: "Zhang Bi, what is the food army doing now?"
Zhang Ben said: "Before dark, they were setting up camp nervously.
Half of them were mobilized.
In order to set up the camp firmly and solidly, they demolished many people's houses outside the castle and took away the wood.
Now the camp has been completed.
Just now The sentry monitoring from the front came back and reported that the Dashi Army camp was heavily guarded inside and outside.
Other Dashi Army soldiers were eating in the camp, and the walls of the castle were brightly lit."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziliang turned to Wei Gao and said: "Wei Gao, your First Division has no combat missions during the day.
The task of harassing the Dashi Army camp at night is left to you.
No matter what you do, you can't let the Dashi Army Have a good sleep tonight” Wei Gao cupped his fists and said: "I obey my orders."
The battles during the day made the soldiers of the Western Qin Army relatively tired, and most of them fell asleep after dinner, while Wei Gao quietly set off with his first division.
Late at night, most of the soldiers in the Dashi Army camp had fallen asleep.
Wei Gao led more than 3,000 cavalrymen of the First Division to the outer perimeter of the Dashi Army camp.
Wei Gao stood on a high ground on horseback and observed the brightly lit Dashi Army camp.
The tents in the camp were arranged in an orderly manner, with the same distance between the ranks.
From time to time, groups of Dashi patrol soldiers walked by.
Pass.
After observing for a while, a general said to Wei Gao: "General, the camp of the Food Army is very well-defended.
There are many sentries and patrols.
The camp is strong and tall.
It will be difficult for us to enter and attack by surprise."
"Who said we have to attack in a sneak attack?"
Wei Gao said, "The mission given to me by the King is to harass, not to attack the camp.
Tonight, as long as we don't let the cannibal sleep well, our mission will be accomplished.
I will ask you." , how far can the cannibal’s bow and arrow shoot?”
The general said: "That day we seized some big man-eating bows and arrows.
The last general has tried shooting several times.
The range of the foot bow is about 150 steps, which is a little bit worse than our riding bow and better than ours."
The bow stance is too far behind.
The range of their mounted bows is about a hundred steps, which is far inferior to our mounted bows."
"The cavalry of the Great Eater has been annihilated by us.
The remaining more than 20,000 people are infantry.
They should have deployed infantry archers on the wall of the camp.
Let's test the defense situation on the wall of the Great Eater first. , you first ask the first battalion to rush to the position 150 steps away from the village wall, and the shout of killing must be loud, and let's see the reaction of the big cannibal."
