While Xiao Zheng and his men were busy, Hozon also led his battered troops back to the main camp in Gourd Valley to rest and recover before launching another attack.
Actually, Hozon wanted to attack Xiao Zheng as soon as possible, but he couldn't, as his troops' morale had already scattered, and continuing the fight would make the outcome unpredictable.
That previous battle was too tragic!
The strength of the troops within Gourd Mouth wasn't infinite; there was a limit, and they had already lost too much since the beginning of the siege on Long Qie and the others.
Dead men aside, there were also a great many wounded, such as those whose eyes were stabbed blind by Xiao Zheng—they all needed care, which further drained a significant amount of manpower.
"Xiao Zheng's methods are really venomous!"
Hozon sighed as he visited the wounded area and saw those men.
