When the sun was already high in the sky, Su Xinyi and Guo Hong, among others, returned. By this time, Tan Yanfang had already led the soldiers and civilians to bury and burn the corpses of the enemies, so as not to cause an epidemic. The bodies of the Southern Qi soldiers who died in the battle were also collected and a funeral ceremony was being presided over by the elderly heads of the city's families. From afar, the sobbing sounds of the crowd could be heard.
At this moment, the joy of victory no longer mattered, as everyone's hearts grew heavy. Each victory came with sacrifices; countless families lost their sons, and children lost their fathers.
