A commander from the Tiger Head Army of Great Qi roared angrily... Conveying a message to Leng Hu.
Leng Hu felt a chill in his heart and thought: What a ruthless old man... Is he trying to completely devour us? I don't believe... that you have such a great appetite!
Immediately, Leng Hu's eyes turned icy, and he shouted, "Change the formation, mobilize and fight! Do not allow us to be contained, smaller groups of thirty, fight individually!"
"Yes!"
Even while surrounded, the Tiger Head Army still maintained their order, not panicking much.
Unbeknownst to them, Fan Wudi was standing at the top of the slope, slightly taken aback. He looked around and asked, "Do we have any arrangements in place over there?"
A general beside him furrowed his brows, looking surprised as he answered, "General, we have no deployments on the other bank."
A strategist next to him confirmed, "We have no arrangements on that side. To avoid alerting the enemy, we even avoided touching the river."
Initially, there were those who suggested building a dam upstream, and once the Tiger Head Army of the Great Qi arrived, the dam would be released, drowning them.
However, this proposition was swiftly dismissed. The scouts from Great Qi were no fools, and if they noticed any activity on their part, they wouldn't fall for such tricks.
Fan Wudi squinted, muttering to himself, "If it's not our men, then who is it?"
The people around all shook their heads, their faces full of confusion.
Fan Wudi declared in a deep voice, "Finish off the Tiger Head Army first... immediately find out who those people on the other side are!"
"Yes!"
By this time, both sides had already begun close combat, shouts of fighting resonating under the night sky.
Chu Mo, leading his crew of five thousand miners, virtually annihilated the unsuspecting six to seven thousand Tiger Head soldiers in an instant.
What kind of soldiers were in the miner's brigade? Almost every single one of them could be pulled out and placed in any other army and would be at least at the level of a squad leader. Yet here, they were the most ordinary soldiers.
In fact, they were all once miners!
When such people gathered, their combat power was terrifying.
Chu Mo took the lead, his Heaven Slaying sword continuously extending and retracting... Reaping the lives of enemy after enemy.
In almost no time, the cavalry team from the side of Great Qi had fully fallen into disarray.
No matter how mentally tough, how fearless of death they were, they had never fought a battle where they hadn't had a single chance to fight back.
At that moment, a clear shout came from the mountain: "Who is our ally over there?"
A commander responded loudly, "Miner's Army! Our commander... is His Majesty, the King of Chu!"
This shout instantly halted the ongoing battle.
"The Miner's Army!"
"The King of Chu!"
Either of the answers had a visibly different impact on both sides.
Upon hearing these names, all the Tiger Head Army cavalrymen present were filled with a sense of despair.
The Miner's Army... was the army that caused the one million-strong army of Great Qi to meet their end at the Skybreaker Mountain Range. The King of Chu... was the very mastermind behind it all!
Who would have thought that this terrifying army would silently arrive here!
Leng Hu's eyes also revealed a hint of despair, he cried out: "Fight... Fight your way out!"
The soldiers of Great Xia were greatly buoyed!
Not only were they very familiar with the kind of army the Miner's Army was, they were also aware who this King of Chu was.
"The grandson of our old general!"
"Haha, I even held that child in my arms once!"
"Some years back, he used to spend a lot of time in our camp every year, I really like that kid!"
"Who would have thought that the brat from back then, still a brat now, would achieve so much. We are proud of him!"
"The King of Chu... he's extraordinary!"
These are the reactions of the Great Xia side, after hearing about Chu Mo's deeds.
The King of Chu, the boy they watched grow up, had brought his world-renowned Miner's Army to help them!
This kind of joy made all the people from Great Xia absolutely ecstatic!
Among all, the happiest had to be the old general, Fan Wudi.
Since the last time he saw Chu Mo, almost a year had passed. However, news regarding Chu Mo was never-ending, almost giving Fan Wudi calluses on his ears from listening to so much.
"This little guy... Is he really that powerful?" was the phrase most often uttered by the old general in response to the abundant praise from others. However, every time he spoke these words, he couldn't help but conceal a smile. And everyone could understand the pride radiating from his smile.
"Grandfather... Chu Mo is here!"
With Chu Mo's shout, the identity of their army was immediately revealed.
"Haha, good boy, this is the first time we're fighting together, eh..." Fan Wudi's excited voice echoed from the opposite slope.
Chu Mo laughed and said, "Good, let's see who can capture that tiger first!"
"Fine! The loser pays for drinks!" The old man's figure soared into the sky.
The people around him didn't even have time to stop him.
Seeing the general charge up, how could the other generals sit still? So... they all charged up together!
The result of the battle was never in doubt.
With Fan Wudi's side having the larger army, they successfully manipulated the Tiger Head Army into their own trap...
They vastly outnumbered the Tiger Head Army, not to mention that Leng Hu didn't bring all his men with him.
His twenty thousand soldiers were entirely enveloped, completely consumed.
In addition to Chu Mo's Miner's Army, all of whom are elites, they fought ferociously as if fighting for their lives.
The real fear isn't a strong army but an army that fights with everything they have after being strong!
Who wouldn't fear such an army?
By dawn on the second day, the sparse river had turned into a river of blood.
Numerous bodies nearly filled the river.
Of the original twenty thousand Great Qi Tiger Head cavalrymen, over seventeen thousand died in battle.
Only a few hundred of the remaining three thousand successfully escaped, the rest were all captured.
The only regrettable outcome was that Leng Hu quietly escaped into the night, foiling Chu Mo's and Fan Wudi's plan to capture him.
However, this battle was exhilarating!
When they met, Fan Wudi was covered in blood, making Chu Mo worry for a while. He discovered later that his grandfather wasn't injured, that all the blood was from their enemies.
Later on, when their armies merged, the two of them looked at each other and laughed.
Chu Mo then said, "Part of the Miner's Army has gone to raid the Tiger Head Army's main camp. If all goes well, the battle there... should be over by now!"
Fan Wudi was slightly surprised, looking at Chu Mo, "The Miner's Army... only has just over ten thousand men, right? You brought over... at least five thousand. Leng Hu brought twenty thousand, and his army still has at least fifty to sixty thousand left. On that side, six to seven thousand... dared to raid?"
Chu Mo smiled, "Relax, Grandpa, I trust them!"(To be continued. If you like this book, please go to qidian.com and vote for it, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
