Nanchu suffered heavy losses, and Dawei did not fare much better, also suffering considerable casualties.
Nangong Zheng led his men to the rear. After having his wounds bandaged, he knelt on one knee before Crown Prince Yuan Zhao of Dawei to apologize. He had promised Yuan Zhao that he would protect the four siege cannons at all costs today. However, he failed to do so, and all the cannons were destroyed. Although the last two cannons were destroyed by Dawei's own men under the prince's orders, he couldn't evade his responsibility.
Helan Jue did not blame Nangong Zheng this time. Instead, he knelt on the ground alongside him with a pale face to apologize, "Please punish me, Your Highness."
