Soon, Lomin's soldiers stopped attacking those who surrendered.

Most of the soldiers remained in the phalanx, ready to attack at any time, while a small number went up to collect the surrenderers' weapons and tie their hands together.

The cavalry, on the other hand, pursued the deserters, especially the fleeing cavalry.

As for the fleeing infantry, they won't be able to run far anyway, and they can send people to pursue and surrender later.

After this, Lomin left a group of men to watch over the captives - and arranged them in a dense position in front of the muzzle of the gun.

Then let the remaining part of the men drag two light guns to capture the camp of the Beran army—only two guns were fired, and the little remaining force in the camp surrendered.

About an hour and a half later, Luo Ming, who had returned to his home formation, dismounted to rest and control the whole situation in the center, received a brief statistical report.

"In this battle, our side lost about one hundred and seventeen people, including four cavalrymen, one musketeer, one artilleryman, and eight officers of all ranks, including a squadron leader. The rest were ordinary infantry.

There were about 153 wounded, of whom 91 were expected to return to the front soon, and 18 were critically wounded. ”

The fact that 91 people were able to return to the front as soon as possible was due to the relatively advanced military medical system, without which most of the wounded would have died of symptoms such as infection and blood loss.

Next, Luo Ming reads down:

"The number of kills (including the seriously wounded of the enemy) is about three hundred and ninety-eight, and the number of prisoners is about one thousand and thirty-five.

Two hundred and thirteen war horses were seized, three hundred and fifty-two horses, and weapons were not counted, of which 361 were heavy armor and 732 were light armor.

In addition to this, a large amount of forage and military rations were obtained in the camp...... It is about a 10-day supply. ”

Looking at this report, Luo Ming did not hide his joy, and as he let out a relaxed and comfortable laugh, the old man who was half-kneeling in front of him lowered his head even lower.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency Viscount Meiquan, you are indeed a great warrior and a great military strategist, and I think you have been blessed by the gods, and it is only natural that you have achieved such a victory, and it is as easy for you as reaching for the wine glass on the table. ”

The old man said flattering words, and after that, he got to the point: "The contemptible and the lads who followed me have sinned against ignorance and arrogance, and have accidentally offended your army, and now they have been severely punished. We are just a bunch of mercenaries working for money, and I hope you will raise your hand and forgive us for our sins. ”

"Captain Antonovich, I will not let you go, but I need you to serve me for a while—only then can I barely offset your sin of depleting my military power. ”

Luo Ming didn't have the time to deal with him, so he directly informed the other party of his decision: "Thank you for arresting that hairy boy for me, then please start and finish well, and complete another job——"

Listening to the words that came from the mouth of the same young viscount, the old man buried his head even lower, and he deeply realized how great the gap between his original employer and this man was.

————————————————————————————

The officers and nobles of Belan, who had surrendered and taken prisoners, were all singled out.

Next, ten daggers were handed over to the middle and high-level of the Jiaertai mercenary group.

"Pick one of those people that you don't like, slash him, and then wipe his blood on his forehead, and spit on him. Don't make the wound too big, they will have to be scratched by others next, and it will be difficult to die if they lose too much blood. ”

Under Luo Ming's cold eyes, and the deterrence of cannons and spears, no one dared to resist this will.

Old man Antonovich stepped forward first, slapped the young viscount, and then, in a moment of shock, swung his dagger to cut a wound on his face, wiped the blood on his forehead, and spat a mouthful of phlegm on the viscount's face.

At first, the aristocratic officers didn't understand what was going to happen to them, but as the "lowly" mercenaries stepped forward one by one and cut their skin for blood, they finally felt shame, anger, and fear.

At first, they could still yell angrily, although the mercenaries were a little cringe by yelling, but this strengthened their determination - they had already offended the old master to death, so naturally they could only follow the new master with iron heart.

And no matter how angry they roared, they couldn't resist when their hands and feet were tied, which gradually aroused the courage of the mercenaries, and even the ordinary mercenaries who connected to them dared to hurt this group of former masters, and their own courage and physical strength were rapidly declining.

Occasionally, in order to avoid this shame, a few shouted allegiance to Luo Ming, so they also joined the lineup of stabbing knives.

And the rest of the people gradually exhausted even the physical strength to scold, and some even let out small sobs.

Eventually, they were carried away half-dead, and the prepared Pelodiana treated them – but there was absolutely no kindness.

The treatment was only to keep them from dying, and it was to keep them in exchange for a ransom - these people were at least from a family of landowners, and there was even a viscount and two barons, and the family could always make up a ransom, not necessarily money, but also with the food that Luo Ming desperately needed.

In addition, as long as they are redeemed to the Belan Federation, then what the people of the Gartai mercenary group have done will be immediately exposed, and their reputation will be completely stinky, these people have become the sworn enemies of the mercenary group, and one by one they are either landlords or nobles, which can effectively prevent the mercenary group from betraying Luo Ming and returning to Belan again.

For these prisoners of war, Luo Ming really wanted to make the best use of them - the people of the mercenary group basically became more reliable, and as for the soldiers brought by the viscount himself, Luo Ming decided to let them do slave labor or sell them to slave traders.

Even the corpse can be given to Pelodiana or fed to the dogs, and it will never waste any of its value.

However, in the end, I still feel a bit of a pity......

Luo Ming looked at the many enemy soldiers and horse corpses on the battlefield that had not been cleaned, and showed a regretful expression - so many corpses, it is difficult to transport them all back, and even if they are transported back, there is not enough time to feed all the human corpses to the dogs, cut the horse corpses and eat them or make them into jerky.

It's a shame that more than half of them will rot in this hot weather.

Can we just just watch? Can't we just find a way to make more use of it?" Luo Ming couldn't help but pinch his chin.

Now that Meiquan is facing a war, it is a state of longing to squeeze out two taels of oil from the skeleton, and many materials are not scarce but far from sufficient, so Luo Ming cannot be stingy.
