Feng had not received orders to let these people go, so he began to continue the pursuit of the warriors. However, these guys were quite cunning in their escape, scattering in all directions, making it impossible for Feng to catch them all; he only managed to kill a few, and all the others had run off without a trace.
Although there were no specific orders regarding the warriors, there were indeed instructions for non-combatants from Cheng Ziang: not to attack non-armed individuals unless attacked first. It was because of this that Feng did not lay a hand on these people.
But even so, these people had mostly fled during the course of the battle, especially after the warriors admitted defeat. Those remaining finally lost hope, scattering like birds and beasts along with the warriors.
The battle lasted only a little over ten minutes before ending with a victory for the three men; the gunfire from the rear of the caravan had already ceased, and the trio regrouped.
