The generals beside Fan Wudi all looked at Chu Mo in shock.
A troop of six to seven thousand … against sixty thousand, one against ten? How could he be so confident?
Fan Wudi looked at Chu Mo with a gratified expression. "The miner corps … this is the most elite troop of Da Xia. I have confidence in them! However, we should send someone to support them now! "
Chu Mo nodded. "That's right!"
As he spoke, he cupped his fists at the generals beside Fan Wudi whom he was familiar with. "Uncles, I will take my men and leave first. Prepare some food and wine. I will celebrate with all of you tonight!"
Destroying another elite troop of Da Qi was indeed a cause for celebration.
Fan Wudi also ordered the ten thousand cavalrymen to follow Chu Mo to support He Xu.
As he watched Chu Mo lead his troops away in a hurry, a strategist beside Fan Wudi could not help but murmur, "The child that I watched grow up suddenly has such great achievements. How gratifying."
"Yes, this child has shown many extraordinary qualities since he was young, but I did not expect him to reach this step! General, you are really lucky! "an old general said.
Fan Wudi stroked his beard with his hand. His face was smiling like a flower as he said proudly, "Of course!"
…
Leng Hu led a few hundred people out of the encirclement in a panic. The sky was already bright.
Leng Hu looked back and tears rolled down his face.
A fierce general had led twenty thousand elite cavalrymen. After a hard night of battle, only a few hundred people were left with him.
A sorrowful atmosphere shrouded this group of people.
Leng Hu looked at the few hundred people beside him. Almost all of them had sustained serious injuries. A few of them were already lying on the backs of their horses, unable to get up. The blood that flowed out of their wounds had already coagulated. It was a ghastly sight.
"I'm sorry …" Leng Hu's eyes were bloodshot. His chapped lips moved slightly. His voice was dry and hoarse.
"General … we can't blame you. We did our best!"
"Yes, General … we … did our best!"
A group of loyal subordinates couldn't help but shed tears.
"General, let's go back. We still have 60,000 soldiers!"
"General, don't be discouraged … We still have a chance to rise again!"
"That's right, General. We've been following you!"
"We will live and die with the general!"
Leng Hu looked at the group of confidants and choked with sobs, "Thank you … Let's go back! Go back! "
As he spoke, he suddenly heard the sounds of battle coming from afar.
Leng Hu's expression changed instantly.
The faces of the hundreds of people around him … all changed!
Leng Hu didn't have time to say anything. He urged his horse to charge toward his camp.
Finally, when they were about a dozen miles away, Leng Hu and his hundreds of trusted subordinates saw thick smoke rising from their headquarters.
Moreover … he also heard the heaven-shaking roars, the cries of slaughter … and the screams of misery.
"No …" Leng Hu only managed to utter a single word before his vision darkened and he fell from the back of the horse.
"General!"
"General, what's wrong?"
"General … wake up!"
…
After this battle, the 80,000 Tiger Head soldiers led by Leng Hu were almost completely annihilated!
In the end, there were only about 1,000 soldiers left. Under the leadership of Leng Hu's personal guards, they fled in disarray.
The seven thousand miners led by He Xu had won an incomparably beautiful and victorious battle!
At the cost of less than a hundred casualties, the Tiger Head Battalion's main camp was destroyed.
This was He Xu's first time commanding a battle alone, and he had achieved an unimaginable victory. He was now a rising star in Da Xia's army!
That night, at the celebratory banquet, Old General Fan Wudi and the other generals all held He Xu in high esteem.
Even though the miners were all top-notch elites, the fact that they were able to obtain such a great victory in this battle was naturally closely related to He Xu's command.
He Xu had waited for this day for many years.
At this moment, the person he wanted to thank the most was Chu Mo!
With a glass of wine in hand, He Xu walked over to Chu Mo's side and said emotionally, "I really wish I could follow Your Highness all the way to the north and the south!"
Chu Mo smiled. "I believe that after this battle, your commanding ability has been fully acknowledged. I reckon that very soon … your new appointment will be announced."
"A new appointment?" He Xu was a little surprised.
Chu Mo smiled at He Xu. "Of course, the miners are ultimately Da Xia's most powerful army. You will have to control it yourselves."
"Ourselves?" He Xu raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at Chu Mo. He seemed to have thought of something and his emotions fluctuated. He opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something.
Chu Mo smiled and waved his hand. "Today is our celebratory banquet. Let's not talk about this! Besides, Brother He … actually, I don't really like this kind of life. This is what you've always wanted, but it's not for me. "
He Xu was silent for a while, then nodded slightly. "Young Master is actually a person with great ambitions. It's just that those ambitions are not something that ordinary people like us can come into contact with."
Chu Mo shook his head with a smile. "Everyone's pursuits are different. My path might not be so smooth."
He Xu raised his wine glass. "Let me toast Young Master. I wish that your wishes will come true!"
"Same to you!" Chu Mo raised his wine glass and drained it in one gulp.
At the celebratory banquet, everyone was in a good mood.
At night, in Fan Wudi's large tent, Chu Mo and his grandfather finally sat together alone.
Even though there were still many people who wanted to find Chu Mo to have a good chat, everyone knew that grandfather and grandson had not seen each other for almost a year. They needed to have some intimate words.
"Master has left." Chu Mo's expression was somewhat downcast. "I don't have much time left in the army. If I'm not wrong, the matter of the primordial stone mine in the Broken Sky Mountain Range should be about to erupt. I don't know how many sects will want to find me now. "
"Your master … has ascended?" Fan Wudi looked at Chu Mo in shock. "I sensed that something was wrong with the weather, but I didn't expect him to be undergoing a tribulation."
"Yes, this kind of tribulation is nothing to Master." Chu Mo smiled. "Master … should have returned to the Immortal Realm by now!"
"Immortal Realm?" Fan Wudi frowned slightly. The old general did not know much about places that were higher than this world.
Chu Mo patiently explained some things about the Spiritual Realm, the Immortal Realm, and the Heavenly Realm to his grandfather. Of course, he did not know much. However, this was enough to shock Fan Wudi.
"I've heard since I was young that there is always someone better than me. I didn't expect that this saying is actually true." Fan Wudi sighed. "However, Grandpa will never have the chance to see the scenery beyond the heavens in this lifetime!"
Chu Mo felt a little sad. "Actually, if Grandpa wants to, there might be a chance."
Fan Wudi looked kindly at Chu Mo. "Child, even though you are stubborn, you are actually very kind."
