515 Jiaojiao (Two Updates)
The battle at Lingguan City had finished. The attack began as the snow stopped at the hour of Xu and ended completely by the time of Hai, lasting no more than two hours.
The Gu Family army gathered all its superior forces, utterly decimating the thirty thousand troops of the former dynasty with absolute advantage in numbers and combat strength, leaving them in utter disarray.
The Prince was injured by an arrow, and the son-in-law led an army of five thousand to escort him as they escaped from another side of Lingguan City.
Of the remaining twenty-five thousand, five thousand died on the battlefield, and the rest, twenty thousand, became prisoners.
The vast majority of these twenty thousand prisoners were strong men from the borders and various regions, either followers of the Living Buddha or enticed and coerced by the Prince to join the rebel army.
