After dealing with several important things, Li Chao went to bed.

As soon as she relaxed, she slept until the sky was dark. When she woke up, it was already bright. When she opened her eyes, Li Xiuning half-lying and half-lying. She hugged Li Chao on her lap to make him sleep more comfortable.

"No wonder I said I was sleeping so well. It turned out that there was a personal pillow with a fragrance." Li Chao sat up with a smile.

"You are too tired." Li Xiuning said with heartache.

At dawn, Zhaozhuang became noisy again, and the north wind was mixed with the smell of blood and the smell of gunpowder.

After lifting the tent, Li Chao saw the soldiers busy.

Some people are building piles of firewood, while others are digging pits.

One by one, one by one, there were corpses placed.

To the east are the bodies of the Tang army's dead, to the west are the bodies of the Goguryeo people. To the north is a slaughterhouse, where dead and injured horses were brought here to slaughter and divided.

More than 60,000 Tang troops, plus more than 20,000 prisoners, consumed a lot of food every day, and there would be no waste on the battlefield.

"I have given instructions to carefully check the identities of each fallen soldier and collect their relics." Li Xiuning said.

Li Chao was in a bit heavy.

One general succeeds and thousands of bones are woven.

The Tang army paid a heavy price for the victory of this battle.

"Actually, you don't have to be too sad. There are no ones who can't die when fighting."

"More than 20,000 people died in battle!" Li Chao sighed.

"The result is already very amazing. You brought 30,000 people and 20,000 farmers who were volunteer soldiers, but in the end you forced to annihilate 50,000 elite Goguryeo cavalry. It's amazing if you say it."

If Li Chao was leading a normal mansion soldier, 35,000 people would be defeated by 50,000, and the casualties would be at least half.

"More than 20,000 lives fell here because of a command."

The wind whistled, and Li Chao slowly walked on the bloody battlefield.

There were broken guns everywhere and bows and arrows stuck on the ground.

Soldiers are cleaning the battlefield, and these broken and lost weapons will be taken away without leaving any left and then recycled.

Many soldiers came back from chopping firewood and piled up firewood.

They are preparing to cremate the dead.

It is impossible to bring back all the bodies of so many dead people. It is better to burn the ashes and send them home to their hometowns.

"Wipe them clean, put them in clean clothes, we hold a ceremony for them, and send them the last journey. Let their comrades and comrades carry them on a pile of firewood."

"After their relics are sorted out, they will be sent back to their relatives."

The wind was as tight as it was, and it became gloomy early in the morning.

"It's going to rain." Li Xiuning said.

"No, it's God who is sad and crying for the martyrs."

Li Chao decided to leave one of the relics of each person who died in battle, and then build a monument and a cemetery here, engraving their names here for future generations to commemorate them.

He also had to award a martyr's medal to all those who died in battle. Their widows and orphans could take this medal and receive a piece of money and food every month. The court did not have to pay the money. The court had its own pensions, and Li Chao prepared to establish a fund, and Li Ji initiated the fundraising, and then used the raised funds to pay the money.

Even every surviving warrior will receive a Zhaozhuang Battle Memorial Medal.

For those soldiers who performed outstandingly, Li Chao would also ask the court for their contributions.

"Actually, I feel most sorry for the volunteer soldiers. They followed me and died half of them in one battle."

Li Xiuning also sighed.

New recruits are always the most likely to be killed or injured, but those who can survive on the battlefield will grow up quickly.

"I plan to write a memorial to the court. As long as these volunteer soldiers are willing to join the government soldiers, those under the age of 30, can select them into the government army."

After walking for a while, Li Chao came to the other side.

There were more than 10,000 Goguryeo corpses piled up there.

"Cut down all their heads and build a Jingguan right in front of the Martyrs' Monument."

Cut off the head and soil and stone to form Jingguan. As for the corpses, they dug a big hole to bury them. If they weren't worried about causing plague, Li Chao would have prepared to let them corpse directly in the wilderness.

The Goguryeo prisoners were driven to dig a hole, and the Tang army beside them was whipped and kicked from time to time. Li Chao was unmoved when he saw it.

Not worthy of sympathy.

"Go to the hospital."

The field hospital is located in the dilapidated Zhaozhuang, and the entire Zhuangzi is now a large hospital.

There are too many injured soldiers.

Houses of each household have now become wards.

As soon as you enter, the smell of blood is stronger.

At the same time, there is a vinegar smell, which is disinfected by steaming vinegar.

There are many wounded soldiers, but fortunately they are not in chaos.

According to the set of rules for the injured barracks formulated by Li Qiao, the rescue was very organized. Serious injuries and minor injuries were divided into several levels, and the principle of priority rescue was given.

The medical staff in the ward are also very clean and polite.

"Today, more than 800 seriously injured people have died."

These wounded soldiers were not dead at that time, but after being lifted down, it was still difficult to treat. The injuries were too severe and they could not survive overnight.

But thinking about it, last night was the most difficult night. If you can survive last night, there is basically hope.

The doctor from the field hospital came over to salute, but he almost didn't close his eyes all night, and his white robe turned into a red robe.

"No need to be polite, everything is OK?"

The old military doctor shook his head.

"There were more than 800 people who were not rescued at night, and more than 300 people had limb amputations. They will always be disabled in the future."

Li Chao gritted his teeth, "The court will guarantee their future lives."

"What's wrong with General Yuchi?"

"I haven't woken up yet, but it's relatively stable."

Li Chao nodded.

When he entered Yuchi Gong's ward, Yuchi Baolin was sitting in front of the bed with her arm hanging on her back and looking at his father.

"teacher."

"How is your father?"

"The doctor said he lost too much blood."

Li Chao sat down, a tough guy like an iron bone, was wrapped like a mummy at this time. The white gauze was still blood-red.

Holding Lao Hei's rough hands, Li Chao sighed in his heart.

Lao Hei was also the general of the court and the commander-in-chief of the Right Army. He was responsible for the Hebei area. The dignified general was like a vanguard captain in this battle, rushing left and right. Without Yuchi Gong, they would not have eaten the 50,000 Liao troops.

Especially at the last moment, in order to stop the enemy, Yuchi Gong bravely fought for 26,000 Goguryeo cavalry with 500 wounded soldiers. This momentum and courage made Li Chao truly admire him.

Yuchi Gong's hand suddenly moved a few times.

"Old Hei!"

Under Yuchi Gong's closed eyes, his eyes were rotating.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!"

"With Yuchi Gong here, Liao Gou can't escape!"

Li Chao smiled and said in Yuchi Gong's ear, "Old Hei, we won, Liao Gou was wiped out by us, Quan Gai Suwen was also captured alive, and I even chopped one of his arms."

Yuchi Gong opened his eyes.

"Li Xiang."

"I'm here, we won."

After a while, Yuchi Gong seemed to have recovered his memory.

"We really won? Didn't Quan Gasuwen run away?"

"No, not only did Quan Gai Suwen not run away, but also did not run away a single Liao dog. This is your contribution. In this battle, you are the first contribution. The Tang Dynasty remembers your contribution, and the people will also remember your contribution."

Yuchi Gong laughed loudly, laughed a few times, and then turned into a scream again.

There are too many wounds on the body and laughing so happily, which involves the wound.

"Oh, these damn Liao dogs have made so many holes for me."

"Don't worry, you are old, dark and thick-skinned. In a few days, you will be like a bear again."
