What is Lin Mo thinking?
Didn't the corruption level just decrease? Why are we fighting again?
Nonsense! Even if the system slaps him in the face and he loses the so-called bet, Lin Mo will still destroy this world!
For a bright young person in the 21st century, if given the chance to travel through time, annihilating the lowly is one of the most important things to do.
The countries that are said to be doomed to perish if traveled through time include: the Mongol Tartars, the Later Jin Dynasty, the Japanese invaders, the Koreans, and the Burmese scum.
Well, then we can take out the US, Europe, and India as well.
And then, incidentally, unify the whole world.
Now, no one can stop Lin Mo from destroying Dongpango. As Lin Mo said, even Jesus couldn't stop him!
After clearing the battlefield, Lin Mo sat upright in the middle of Dongpan Ge's command tent, listening to his subordinates report the results of the battle.
"Reporting to Your Highness the Regent, in this battle we have captured 25,169 enemy heads, 9,221 soldiers, and 30 generals, including the enemy's vanguard general, Kato Hiroaki."
"Only killed this many?" Lin Mo was not very satisfied with the results.
According to reports, the Dongpango central army totaled 130,000 men.
The two battles resulted in the annihilation of over 50,000 people and the capture of 10,000, meaning less than half of them were wiped out.
It seems a major battle is needed to completely resolve this! Lin Mo thought to himself.
"Tang Feng, I'm giving you three days. You must extract some information from Kato Hiroaki!" Lin Mo announced. "Huo Tong, make arrangements to dig a huge pit, and then... "
As he spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture.
Upon hearing this, the latter's expression immediately darkened. "Your Highness, all of them?"
"Yes, leave no one alive!" Lin Mo said. "Be swift, don't leave any survivors!"
Huo Tong took a deep breath, then accepted the order and left.
"My lord, what are your plans for the next step?" Xiang Yu asked, now completely submissive, after Tang Feng and Huo Tong had left.
"And what about you? What suggestions do you have?" Lin Mo asked him.
"My lord, let old Xu do it!" Xu Chu interrupted.
"Oh? I'm very interested to hear your thoughts!" Lin Mo said with a smile.
"It's simple. We'll use the old method: build impregnable fortifications in Wuzhong City, wait for the enemy to tire themselves out, and let those Dongpango bastards walk right into our trap!"
"It's quite impressive that you could think of all this!" Lin Mo praised. "However, I don't intend to stay in Wuzhong City!"
"What, my lord, are you afraid of the ghosts here?"
"What are you thinking!" Lin Mo said. "I intend to engage in open battle with Dongpan Ge."
"Field battle?" Huo Tong was also puzzled. "Why give up the advantage of the city walls?"
“The walls of Wuzhong City are indeed an advantage, but also a disadvantage!” Lin Mo analyzed. “Don’t forget, besides Dongpango, we also have several enemies such as the Arabs, Qiuzi, and the Northern Barbarians.”
Our forces are insufficient and we are surrounded by enemies on all sides. We cannot afford to drag this out on one battlefield for too long.
Therefore, if the enemy in Dongpango traps us in Jidong, other enemies will have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation!
Another point is that our Great Xia's cavalry is currently the strongest on the entire continent. The Dongpango's advantageous troop type is not cavalry, but their proud warriors.
In the open field, our cavalry are invincible and possess a greater advantage.
"Haha, I never expected my lord to possess such abilities at such a young age," Xiang Yu praised. "Your meaning is also my meaning."
There's another point Lin Mo didn't mention: according to Earth's historical records, Xiang Yu's cavalry legion was the progenitor of Chinese shock cavalry.
In 205 BC, taking advantage of Xiang Yu's main force being tied up in Qi, Liu Bang personally led a coalition of 560,000 troops from various vassal states to attack Pengcheng in the east. At that time, Xiang Yu had not yet conquered Qi, and his rear had already been captured by the Han army.
In such a critical moment, Xiang Yu adopted an extreme strategy: leaving the main force in Qi to continue fighting.
He personally led 30,000 elite troops to Xiao County, which was 20 to 30 kilometers away from Pengcheng, and launched a direct attack on the Han army's command center at dawn, breaking through the Han army's defenses at the Sui River.
Historical records indicate that the 30,000 troops led by Xiang Yu were likely all cavalry.
It is evident that Xiang Yu had already made cavalry his main fighting force in the Battle of Pengcheng, fully demonstrating the cavalry's superior mobility and powerful striking ability.
In this battle, Xiang Yu fully utilized the strengths of his cavalry, advancing hundreds of kilometers from Qi to catch the Han army and the allied forces of the feudal lords off guard. His tactic of bypassing Xiao County and launching a pre-dawn attack can be considered a classic example.
Lin Mo chose to fight in the wild because he wanted to fully utilize Xiang Yu's strongest abilities.
After the system returned the points, Lin Mo's total points now reached 550,000.
At the price of 100 points for a Tang Dynasty Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, equip Xiang Yu with 2,000 Tang Dynasty Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry and another 30,000 Hu-style archer cavalry.
Haha, how can little Dongpango possibly withstand this?
Lin Mo arranged for two thousand men to garrison Wuzhong City, and then led his army eastward.
Zhao Zhilan, on the other hand, was already on her way to the capital with He Xiao.
The Imperial Guards disappeared along with the Tyrant Mode, leaving Lin Mo with three wives and an elderly mother in the capital who need protection.
Therefore, he asked He Xiao to take Zhao Zhilan back to the capital and arrange for people to protect Sun Ruoxi and the others.
After traveling for several days, they arrived at the largest town outside the capital.
It is said that the ancestors of the Zhao family once won a famous victory here.
“Back then, the enemy troops were chasing Zhao’s ancestor, trying to catch him when he joined up with friendly forces.” As they rode toward the city gate, He Xiao told her, “The young emperor was injured and is being cared for by some local people.”
Meanwhile, the enemy general personally led a large army to capture the town and began searching house to house. Before they could find it, a friend of the Great Xia ancestor and his father-in-law arrived in time, broke through the city's defenses, and engaged in fierce street fighting with the enemy general.
