In fact, the Cossack cavalry sent by Marin almost caught up with Charlie, Earl of Gelden and his party. Unfortunately, due to time, it became dark and it became difficult to pursue. Then, Charlie, Earl of Gelden and his five most trusted guards successfully escaped while the night was dark.
As for Malin, there are many things to do. After all, there were many casualties in this war, and Malin needed to deal with the aftermath. Because they had shelled each other and fired muskets with their opponents, the battle was very fierce. Not to mention the casualties of the enemy, there were more than 400 people killed and injured by the opponent's artillery on the Beihai Kingdom alone. This was the case where the opponent's artillery was suppressed. If the opponent's artillery could not be suppressed, there would be more casualties.
The most terrifying thing is that the damage of shells is extremely great. Anyone who is hit by shells will either die directly or be severely disabled. Those who pass by cannonballs will survive and will lose their arms and legs. In short, none of the more than 400 shelling casualties, and those more than 200 wounded people will have the chance to return to the battlefield.
The fire of muskets caused more injuries, with more than 800 people. However, the fire of muskets was much less tragic than the shelling. Nearly half of the casualties caused by shelling were killed. However, only more than 100 people died in the fire of muskets.
However, people who are hit by lead bullets are much more terrifying than those who are shot by the knife. The shot by the knife is just ordinary trauma. As long as alcohol cleans the wound and then apply some modified gold-increase medicine (that is, the ancient gold-increase medicine has been strictly disinfected and treated, which greatly reduces the chance of inflammation of the wound), the recovery possibility is still very high. In addition, Malin also asked the military doctors to apply a lot of honeysuckle and Tianqi brought back from the Ming Dynasty as a low-level anti-inflammatory medicine. Honeysuckle originally clears blood poisoning and has a certain effect on treating bleeding damage. Not to mention Tianqi, that is the main medicine of Baiyao in southern Yunnan.
However, it is an ordinary sword injury. The damage of lead bullets is more difficult to cure. Because spherical lead bullets can easily stir up blood and blood after entering the body, the damage is very great. Fortunately, under the guidance of Marin, the military doctor of Beihai Kingdom made crude intestinal thread and simple suture technology, which was not a big problem.
The most difficult thing to deal with is probably that the lead bullet splits in the body. If the spherical lead bullet hits the body and hits the soft part, that's fine. At worst, take out the lead bullet, clean the wound, and then sew it. But if the lead bullet hits the bone, it's terrible...
Lead bullets are relatively soft. After hitting a bone, they can easily split into several pieces. Then, the lead bullets are scattered in the body and are difficult to remove. In addition, although the lead bullets are soft, they are also metal and have a high density. If they hit a bone, they will not only easily disperse, but will also break the bones and even install bone slag. These bone slags will be scattered in the body and are extremely difficult to remove.
Therefore, although the seven or eight hundred soldiers who were infected with lead bombs were not as terrifying as solid shell damage, they could be completely cured in the end. The other half would inevitably suffer from disability or root cause, and they would never be able to return to the battlefield in the future...
In addition, more than 900 infantry were injured by ordinary swords, but this problem was not big, only dozens of people died. Most of the injured could be rescued.
This is a casualty in the infantry. As for the cavalry, the black-shirted knights basically did not go online. As for the Cossack, the main casualty was the 300 cavalry who took the initiative to crash into the enemy and fell from behind when they were desperate.
Half of these 300 cavalrymen who were dropped were trampled to death by enemy or friendly horses on the spot. The other half, 60 were trampled with arms and legs and so on. They were afraid that they would be disabled in the future. There were probably only about 90 people who could recover...
In addition to the casualties of these 300 people, more than 70 other Cossack cavalrymen were killed or injured in the fight...
...
In other words, in this tragic decisive battle, the Beihai State infantry suffered about 2,500 casualties, and the battle losses exceeded 10%. If the ordinary army had more than 10% of the battle losses, it would probably collapse. In other words, the Beihai State's First Legion and Second Legion were basically veterans of more than ten years, so they could stand up and achieve a brilliant victory.
But Marin felt sorry for her - she was a 10-year-old veteran! Everyone is a treasure!
If the new recruits were killed or injured by more than 2,000, Marin would not feel so distressed. But those veterans over ten years had died or injured so many times. When Marin heard the report, he was so sad that he almost burst into tears...
After all, no matter how poor a soldier is, he can become an elite after training for ten years. Every veteran who has been trained for ten years has the ability to serve as a recruit instructor. Death is a huge loss.
Marin suddenly understood why when he was in the battle, he would directly take the musketeers who had been training for two weeks on the battlefield as cannon fodder - because he didn't feel sorry for his death...
Marin really felt heartbroken and burst into tears. When comforting the injured soldiers, he couldn't help but shed tears...
But unexpectedly, Malin's tears of distress were misunderstood by the injured soldiers to "caring for his soldiers". As a result, many injured soldiers were so moved that they cried, thinking that it was worth it to die for Malin...
...
Of course, Marin did not disappoint them. He announced on the spot that all the families of soldiers who died in battle were supported by the state. The parents were supported by the state to die in old age. The children not only raised themselves, but also provided for their studies. They would give priority to errands when they grew up...
This generous condition made many injured cry again and express their death without regrets. Moreover, dozens of seriously injured died with a smile...
But in fact, in this era, it doesn’t cost much money to support the families of the fallen people. It only takes enough food and then a few sets of clothes a year. At most, add a medical treatment to reimbursement. As for the children’s schooling problem, it’s nothing. Because Marin originally planned to promote compulsory education, it is purely by the way...

This is Marin's old first and second legions (no infantry in the Third Legion died in battle, only dozens of wounded people), and Marin's feelings are complicated for the casualties of the Cossack cavalry...
Why? Strictly speaking, the Cossacks are basically recruits. Moreover, most Ukrainian Cossacks and Marin never regarded them as their own people.
Therefore, Marin did not feel anything about the more than 70 Ukrainian Cossacks who died and injured in the fight. However, Marin was very moved by the 300 German Cossacks who were desperate to hit the enemy's war horses.
So, after appeased the First and Second Legions, Marin personally visited more than 100 survivors of the 300 warriors who dared to commit suicide and raid the enemy.
In order to set a model and encourage the later generations to continue to work hard for him, Marin squeezed out tears and personally paid tribute to the 300 warriors. Moreover, Marin personally ordered the 300 warriors to be commended as "Three Hundred Spartan Warriors of the North Sea Kingdom."
That's not all. Marin also appointed the surviving officer of the 300 warriors as the commander of the cavalry regiment on the spot, and personally awarded the number "Spartan Warriors".
When Marin personally handed the flag of the "Spartan Warriors" that he had temporarily "created" to Kaulz, the other soldiers of the North Sea countries around him showed a strong envy in their eyes. Because, this kind of glory of warriors was very glorious in Europe in this era. After Kaulz took over the flag, he also swore loudly that I would take the lead in charging for suicide next time...
Marlin suddenly had ten thousand MMPs in his heart - I polite you to let others know that it is beneficial to die for me, and to set you as a benchmark. You say that you take the lead in charging for suicide next time, and if you die, it means that the benchmark I set has fallen? So, if you don’t send you to charge next time, you won’t be taken away...
Marin didn't feel anything about the deaths and injuries of more than 70 people in the Ukrainian Cossacks. However, in order to appease the Ukrainian Cossacks, Marin still gave the same pension as the infantry. At the same time, Marin promised that the country would reimburse the spirits of men in the family after the fallen and retired soldiers due to injuries...
Then, the Ukrainian Cossack wounded soldiers with strange brain circuits actually lie on a stretcher and cheer for drinking free spirits in the future (they thought they could no longer enjoy the treatment of a small bottle of Erguotou every day after they were injured and retired).
