As dawn began to break, Xiang Ziyu and his comrades finally received their reinforcement troops, another company of paratroopers arrived at Leping Village, and saw the fruits of their battle.
Some soldiers were dealing with corpses; they had one casualty and two injured last night, but they captured Leping and eliminated about 400 Goblins.
Now the entire village was littered with bodies, and a 75 mm caliber field gun lay overturned next to a courtyard wall. The Goblin troops had destroyed it, fearing that it would be used by the Tang Army.
The platoon leader of 3rd Platoon looked at Xiang Ziyu, gestured towards a building that was no longer ablaze but still smoking, and asked, "Pretty ruthless, did you set the fire?"
"No, they hid inside and refused to come out, so they set the fire themselves," Xiang Ziyu answered truthfully.
