So, Lin Mo went to sleep with a lot of "difficulty" on his mind!
Qin Zhixing sighed, shook his head, and left.
Following Lin Mo's orders, Qin Zhixing led the remaining Hu-style archer cavalry and the most elite Tang Xuanjia heavy cavalry to support Bai Qi, while Lin Mo led the infantry to proceed as planned.
To make it easier to earn points while lying down, Lin Mo specially commissioned the construction of a spacious carriage.
That day, Lin Mo woke up in the carriage. Upon asking the time, he instantly lost his composure!
"What happened? I clearly set a six-hour sleep time, how come I slept an extra hour?"
"Another system bug? This is a rather serious problem!"
Just as he was wondering, Xu Chu rode up to the carriage and said, "My lord, we have entered the Dos Grassland."
Upon hearing this news, Lin Mo immediately became nervous.
According to intelligence, due to Bai Qi's influence, Chief Kago's main force has returned to the grasslands.
The enemy has a total of 100,000 troops. If Lin Mo were to collide with them, the outcome would be predictable.
Of course, it's unlikely that Kago would disregard the dangers of his hometown and insist on staying near the vast grasslands, but Lin Mo cannot let his guard down.
On the vast grassland, a group of Dos people wielding scimitars might suddenly appear out of nowhere.
Danger is everywhere.
Therefore, Lin Mo was very careful after entering the Dos Grass Sea.
However, whether it was good luck or something else, it didn't work out.
On the first day, not a single Dossman was seen until sunset...
Wandering around enemy territory at night is a sure way to get yourself killed.
Lin Mo then ordered the camp to be set up, and the next day they continued their journey.
Strangely, just like the first day, on the second day after entering the Grass Sea, we still couldn't see a single person.
At this moment, Lin Mo realized for the first time why the Northern Bandits had always been a major threat to the Central Plains throughout history, because it was simply too difficult for the Central Plains to wipe out the Northern Bandits.
In the vast sea of grass, finding the enemy is extremely difficult.
Moreover, whenever they go on an expedition, the daily consumption of food and supplies is enormous.
The good news is that Lin Mo has a cheat code, so he doesn't need to worry about supplies.
Although somewhat puzzled, Lin Mo had nothing else to do but continue sleeping and practicing the "dream-killing technique" that Xu Chu had mentioned.
For the next four days, Lin Mo slept for more than twelve hours each day, in order to accumulate more points.
On the fifth day, Lin Mo was awakened by Xu Chu.
"My lord, something's happened!"
Lin Mo rubbed his eyes, got up, pulled back the curtain of the carriage, and looked outside. He immediately smelled a pungent stench: the stench of fresh blood.
"What happened?"
Outside the carriage, there was no grassland as I had imagined, no scenery of cattle and sheep grazing amidst the swaying grass.
Some areas were just scorched earth, and as far as the eye could see, there were only ruined grasslands, as if there was no sign of life for miles around.
Lin Mo immediately dismounted from the carriage, mounted his warhorse, and rode with Xu Chu.
"What exactly happened?" Lin Mo asked again. "Why was the Dos Grassland burned down?"
No one could answer his question.
Lin Mo spurred his horse and galloped away on his black warhorse, with Xu Chu quickly following. He asked a question as he rode, but the north wind carried his words away, and Lin Mo didn't hear him.
After that, Xu Chu said nothing more and simply rode his horse in silence.
Shortly afterward, they stopped at a Dos tribe camp.
The Dos people's flag still flies in the tribal camp on the hill, but the camp itself has been destroyed, the tents smashed, looted, and burned.
There were no living creatures, only a few stray dogs that would flee at the sound of human voices.
The dozen or so riders left behind by Lin Mo quickly caught up. "Your Highness, please don't ride so fast. We have now entered the Dos Grassland, and there may be enemies everywhere. It's very dangerous!"
"Danger? There's not a soul in sight, where's the danger!" Lin Mo's face darkened. "What place is this?" He pointed to the Dos camp ahead.
“Your Highness, I recognize their banners. This should be the camp of the Jiabo tribe,” a cavalryman from Shu replied. “Their tribe is named after the springs in this area.”
"A spring?" Xu Chu asked, puzzled. "You mean this thing?"
The pool once famous throughout the grasslands by the Jiabo tribe is now filled with rotting corpses, and the spring water has turned into a muddy soup that is black, gray, and green, making it unbearable to look at a second time.
"What exactly happened?" This time, it was Xu Chu who asked the question.
Lin Mo frowned. "Go check if the corpses in the pool are soldiers of our Great Xia, or...?"
He was worried: Could it be that Qin Zhixing's troops had been ambushed by the Dos? Or was the corpse before him Bai Qi?
Because this place is a Doth camp, a camp where a great battle took place...
Xu Chu turned his head in astonishment, "Your Highness, are you sure?"
"Yes, go and investigate!" Lin Mo said sternly.
“This…” Xu Chu, who was fearless, was stumped, because these corpses had obviously been soaking for several days and were incredibly foul-smelling.
“They are the corpses of the Doss!” one of the cavalrymen replied. “Your Highness, look at their clothing—Doss leather armor!”
"Dossians?" Lin Mo asked in surprise, "All of them?"
"Yes, they should all be corpses of the Doss people!"
Lin Mo was shocked; there were at least two thousand corpses in the pool...
Did Bai Qi kill all the Dos people in this tribe?
Just then, a cavalryman rushed in to report, his eyes filled with shock, "Your Highness, we've made a discovery!"
"Lead the way!" Lin Mo didn't waste any words and hurried off.
When Lin Mo arrived at the place the cavalryman had described, he was shocked once again.
