It's just unfortunate that the people taken to the Prince of Hejian's manor that day were mostly household servants and long-term workers, and many of these were soldiers and veterans who had fought with the Prince of Hejian in the past.
The oldest among them was already forty-two years old, while the youngest was only twenty-two. Even though they had retired from the battlefield for years, though their fighting skills might have waned, their ability to evade was undoubtedly better than that of ordinary tenant farmers.
Therefore, although they were also seriously injured, with some losing limbs or getting head injuries, none of them died.
On the other side, the casualties were heavy, primarily because a significant portion were accidental injuries. In particular, the two people from the Chief's families who came to mediate were killed when trying to stop the Zheng Family's tenant farmers and mistakenly got hit on the head with a hoe.
