Chapter 51 What to do with the prisoners? Kill them!



Just as Lin Mo had guessed, there were several sharpened wooden stakes along the way at intervals, with dead or dying Dos people tied to them.

They were positioned as if pointing the way, guiding Lin Mo forward.

Along both sides of the road, all the Dos tribes were wiped out without exception, and not a single one survived.

If I'm not mistaken, Qin Zhixing's reinforcements should have already joined up with Bai Qi.

This butcher general led two hundred heavily armored Tang cavalrymen in black armor and two thousand archer cavalrymen in nomadic attire to commit these massacres!

At this moment, the name of the butcher Bai Qi made Lin Mo tremble.

Because Bai Qi was playing the game of annihilation, a true annihilation, leaving no one alive, whether they were soldiers, the elderly, women, or children!

Seeing all this, even Xu Chu felt his scalp tingle. "Your Highness, is Bai Qi even human?"

"I don't know how to answer your question," Lin Mo shook his head.

"Hmph, this is outrageous! He's inhuman!" Xu Chu snorted heavily. "He slaughtered all the Dos people, leaving me with not a single one. This is too much, far too much!"

Lin Mo, “…”

"You son of a bitch!" Lin Mo was utterly speechless.

"I've come all this way to the Dos Grassland just to be a nobody," he exclaimed. "Bai Qi... a legendary figure, truly extraordinary."

About two more days later, Lin Mo arrived at his destination.

Lin Mo glanced ahead and was shocked again, "My God! What the hell is this?!"

Before them, the earth was torn apart by the iron hooves of Bai Qi's army. All the green grass was trampled into the mud, and the scimitars and arrows stuck in the ground, nourished by blood, became new and terrible crops.

The sheep were the first to die, numbering in the thousands, their bodies riddled with arrows, feathers standing upright on their corpses.

A pack of thin, hungry, but fierce dogs roamed among the sheep, tearing at them and enjoying their hard-earned meal.

The Xia cavalry kept driving them away, and mutton was a favorite staple food for the Xia soldiers.

However, the hungry wild dogs could never be driven away. As a result, the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty had an extra meal of dog meat every night.

The Kogo tribe camp caught fire, with wisps of black smoke billowing into the azure sky.

The Hu-style horsemen galloped back and forth, brandishing their long whips and urging the survivors away from the smoking ruins.

Even when defeated and enslaved, the women and children of the Kogo tribe still walk with a kind of angry self-respect; now that they are slaves, they seem to bravely accept their fate.

For some reason, Lin Mo suddenly felt a pang of pity for them, because he clearly remembered the taste of fear.

Many mothers were expressionless and lifeless, staggering as they pulled their sobbing children along.

They were lucky; just as Bai Qi was about to execute them, Lin Mo arrived.

Bai Qi had promised Lin Mo that he would only kill the Dos warriors.

Therefore, upon hearing that Lin Mo had arrived, Bai Qi stopped his killing spree.

Qin Zhixing greeted Lin Mo at the door.

The Great Xia general wore a white robe over his armor, but it was now completely stained red with blood.

Upon seeing Lin Mo, Qin Zhixing immediately stepped forward and then knelt on one knee.

"Your subordinate Qin Zhixing greets Your Highness!" he said. "General Bai is inside the enemy's main tent."

"Please get up!" Lin Mo noticed Qin Zhixing's injury and quickly helped him up. "How is your injury?"

"It's a superficial wound, nothing serious!"

In fact, Qin Zhixing had a short arrow from the Doss people stuck in his upper arm, and his left chest was also bruised and bloodied from a scimitar wound, but he insisted that he was fine.

"Take me to see Bai Qi!" Lin Mo said.

When they found Bai Qi, the butcher general was sitting in front of a huge tent.

Around him, countless heads were piled up like a small mountain.

Clearly, the Qin people's custom of calculating military merit based on the number of heads taken was systematically preserved. Of course, this also aligns with the system established by Lin Mo.

The heads represent military ranks and titles!

Upon seeing Lin Mo, Bai Qi stood up and gave a simple bow: "Greetings, Your Highness."

After subconsciously saying "Please stand up," Lin Mo froze, completely at a loss for words.

Perhaps this is the helplessness a leader feels when faced with overly capable subordinates.

Bai Qi remained expressionless and continued, "Your Highness, your subordinates have wiped out five Dos tribes, beheading 70,000, including more than 30,000 Dos warriors."

Lin Mo pinched his nose, then replied in the manner of the Earth's leader, "Thank you for your hard work."

At this moment, Xu Chu was displeased. He strode forward and patted Bai Qi's shoulder forcefully, "You son of a bitch, you killed all the Dos people, making me come all this way for nothing!"

Bai Qi looked up, glanced at Xu Chu, and then coldly replied, "There are still more than three thousand prisoners!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, pointed to a spot not far away, and gestured for them to enter.

Not to mention Xu Chu, even Lin Mo was stunned.

"What, you want Xu Chu to take both sides and go chop down those Dos old, weak, women and children?"

"I'm talking about Bai Qi!" Lin Mo hesitated, then stopped himself.

"Your subordinate is here!" Bai Qi bowed slightly.

"What are our casualties?" Lin Mo finally thought of this after a long pause.

"Your Highness, there are forty-one Hu-style archer cavalrymen, thirty-five of whom are wounded. One Tang-style Xuanjia heavy cavalryman is wounded."

Good heavens, Lin Mo couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He killed 30,000 enemies, yet only 41 died in battle. This legendary general is truly...

At the same time, Lin Mo saw a hint of shame on Bai Qi's face when he saw the report.

What, you still think of Versailles?

"Hmph, if it weren't for your womanly compassion, Your Highness, these soldiers wouldn't have died at all!" Bai Qi added.
