"Those bastards run damn fast!" Xu Chu complained. "Old Xu hasn't had enough killing yet!"
Lin Mo ignored it, found a chair and sat down, wiping the bloodstains off the imperial sword "Dragon Slayer" with a rag.
The sharpness of the royal sword far exceeded his expectations. In the previous battle, Lin Mo swung the sword at a low-ranking military officer, who dodged at the last second, causing "Dragon Slayer" to strike the wall.
The sword actually managed to cut a long gash in the wall, which amazed both Lin Mo and the young military officer.
"It shouldn't be called Dragon Slayer, it should be called Rock Cutter!" Lin Mo thought to himself, "It can even cut through rocks!"
"General Xu, you are incredibly brave!" Huo Tong praised Xu Chu repeatedly. "You scared the enemy so much they wet their pants. They're afraid of you, so don't linger in battle!"
They were all covered in dirt, yet they kept laughing.
"Yes, especially that axe blow!" Lin Mo recalled the terrifying scene from before.
Xu Chu's axe struck a lowly samurai's helmet, splitting his head open. The axe then emerged from under his crotch, cleaving the man in two like chopping wood.
That scene...
The memory sent chills down Lin Mo's spine.
"Hehe, it's mainly because of the power of my pair of Pangu's Heaven-Opening Axes!" Xu Chu said. "My lord, I feel that these axes can truly split the heavens and the earth!"
"Absolutely, it's several hundred points!" Lin Mo thought to himself.
"Report on the results of the battle!" he said.
"Your Highness, this was an extremely glorious battle!" Huo Tong said excitedly. "Since the 'War of the Wilderness' at the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, there has never been such a brilliant battle."
I swear, for every twenty people who die on the East Pango side, we only lose one.
We captured nearly a thousand Dongpan warriors and about twenty generals... In addition to the enemy general Kato Hideaki, we also captured three members of the Kato family: one son of Kato Hiroaki and two nephews.
One belongs to his sister, and the other to his younger brother…
"What about Kato Hiroaki?" Lin Mo interrupted him. "Did they happen to capture their mid-lane commander as well?"
“No!” Huo Tong replied, then suddenly froze.
"No? That's a bit of a shame!" Lin Mo said, slightly disappointed. "What about detailed battle losses? And the specific number of enemy troops killed?"
"The count is still being done!" Huo Tong said. "Preliminary estimates suggest that our army has killed at least 20,000 enemy soldiers!"
"Damn, only 20,000!" Lin Mo's expression changed.
"This..." Huo Tong was speechless for a moment.
If he knew the term "Earth Versailles," he would definitely think Lin Mo was in Versailles.
In this night raid, they only deployed 15,000 cavalry, yet they annihilated 20,000 Dongpango soldiers and captured so many prisoners and enemy generals.
Our losses will not exceed one thousand at most!
With such results, the Regent still dared to complain!
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. This regent, only twenty years old, annihilated Doss's 500,000-strong allied army with tens of thousands of troops...
"Huo Tong, have you finished what I asked you to do?" Lin Mo asked.
Upon hearing this, Huo Tong took a deep breath, "Your Highness, I truly cannot implement your plans effectively..."
Is it really that difficult?
"Yes, Your Highness!" Huo Tong frowned. "You don't know, Wuzhong City is just too big. Our troops can hardly carry out an effective encirclement!"
Lin Mo assigned him the task of surrounding Wuzhong City and not letting a single Dongpango mad dog escape.
But it is clear that His Highness the Regent has not noticed the actual size of Wuzhong City.
Encirclement? Easier said than done!
"Wouldn't it be better to just block the door?" Xu Chu asked.
"General Xu, you may not know this, but Wuzhong City has sixteen gates, each quite far apart from the others. Furthermore, it is rumored that the city contains many secret passages, making it truly difficult to..."
He also wanted to say that he didn't initially believe that Lin Mo's 10,000 cavalry could defeat the enemy so easily.
The Dongpan Ge central army has over 100,000 troops. In the vast city of Wuzhong, even if the enemy suffers an initial defeat, they can fight and retreat, engaging in street fighting.
In fact, Dongpango did just that.
Currently, many enemy troops have retreated into the abandoned northern city, which has been desolate for decades, and are putting up a stubborn resistance.
But Huo Tong knew that Dongpange had been completely defeated, and the elite troops under Lin Mo's command were ridiculously strong!
"Getting rid of the rats looks like a troublesome task!" Lin Mo looked up and brushed his hair away from his eyes. "By the way, where's Xiang Yu? I haven't seen him!"
"My lord, General Xiang has led your Nightmare Cavalry and pursued them all the way in," Xu Chu said. "I tried to stop them, but I couldn't!"
"Just a dozen or so of them?" Huo Tong was shocked. "The remnants of Dongpango still number in the tens of thousands!"
"Go and call them back quickly!" Lin Mo hurriedly got up.
"My lord, are you worried that something might happen to General Xiang?"
"An accident? What kind of accident could happen to that guy?!" Lin Mo thought bitterly.
He wasn't worried about anything happening to the mythical Xiang Yu and the Nightmare Cavalry; he was only worried about something happening to himself!
Why?
Because the system kept popping up prompts.
[Congratulations, host! Your corruption level has increased and is about to reach A+.]
[Congratulations, host, your corruption level has increased...]
In order to enable Lin Mo to fully control Xiang Yu as soon as possible, the corruption value of every enemy killed by Xiang Yu would increase rapidly.
"Damn it, hurry up and go! What are you all standing there for?!" Lin Mo said anxiously.
"Yes, sir!"
Meanwhile, on the other side of Wuzhong City.
"General, should we retreat or stay?" asked a Dongpango general.
