Lin Feng's sword was stained with Hulanmu's blood, a trickle of red flowing down the blade and dripping onto the ground, forming shocking splashes of crimson. Standing tall with the bloodied sword in hand, Lin Feng shouted loudly, "Hulanmu is dead! Surrender and you will not be harmed!"
The soldiers engaged in fierce combat paused upon hearing his words. The Brave Soldiers of Jing Kingdom turned to look, only to see their beloved General Hulanmu lying lifeless in a pool of blood. Faced with such a scene, they understood that defeat was inevitable and, in despair, they dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.
This battle had been extraordinarily brutal, with both sides suffering tremendous losses. Although the enemy had unfortunately fallen into Wu Kingdom's carefully laid ambush, their resistance had been remarkably fierce. The waves of counterattacks that surged like a tidal wave struck hard against the Wu Kingdom Army's defenses, delivering a heavy blow to Wu Kingdom.
However, it was fortunate that after an arduous and intense struggle, Wu Kingdom ultimately achieved a significant victory. The battlefield was littered with the bodies of fallen enemies, numbering over two thousand upon rough estimation! Even more uplifting was the fact that the once formidable and fearsome enemy general had also met his demise.
For half a day, the sounds of battle—shouts of killing, clashing steel, and anguished cries—intertwined and echoed through the skies. This vast expanse of grassland had long been soaked in blood, turning into a shocking shade of crimson; even the nearby river could not escape being gradually stained red, resembling a river flowing with lamenting life.
After properly managing matters related to the captured soldiers, Lin Feng slowly returned to his tent, dragging his weary body. Last night, he had tossed and turned in bed, his mind racing with strategies and potential variables, unable to close his eyes for even a moment. At this moment, he was utterly exhausted; as soon as he turned over, he fell into a deep sleep.
In contrast to Lin Feng, Lu Yong and his Brave Soldiers were still unable to rest. With a solemn expression, he issued orders for his men to quickly tally the number of participants in the battle, the captured soldiers, and the casualties. When the final numbers were presented before him, Lu Yong felt as if his heart were being torn apart; it was painfully overwhelming.
In this battle, they had lost nearly two thousand brave and fearless Brave Soldiers! These warriors had once been vibrant lives but now lay forever at rest on this blood-soaked land.
Time passed swiftly like fleeting moments; before they knew it, half a day had gone by. As the sun set and night began to fall, Lin Feng finally slowly opened his eyes from unconsciousness.
After awakening, Lin Feng felt a lingering fog in his mind, but he understood the urgency of the situation and knew there was no time to waste. He steeled himself and immediately summoned Lu Yong, Mardu, Yang Hu, and Lu An to his presence.
Once everyone had gathered, Lin Feng's expression turned serious as he asked, "Everyone, please tell me how the battle went."
Hearing this, Lu Yong stepped forward eagerly, presenting a detailed Military Report with both hands. He respectfully reported, "General, in this battle, our forces suffered over two thousand brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives, with more than five hundred others injured. However, it is fortunate that we successfully killed over two thousand enemy troops and captured more than two thousand of them, including the Enemy General!"
Lin Feng took the blood-stained Battle Report and began to read it carefully. Although the battle ended in victory, the heavy toll on his side weighed heavily on his heart as he absorbed the staggering number of casualties.
After a moment of silence, Lin Feng took a deep breath and issued an order: "Incorporate those among the captured who are willing to join our ranks to replenish our forces; as for those unwilling to serve, let them go."
At that moment, Lu An suddenly stepped forward and exclaimed loudly, "General, we cannot proceed this way!"
Lin Feng furrowed his brow and looked at Lu An with confusion. "Oh? Why not?"
Lu An quickly clasped his fists and explained, "General, think about it. If we let these captured soldiers go free, what if some of them take the opportunity to escape and bring back reinforcements? Our troops are already exhausted from the long march and have no backup support. With our casualties exceeding half of our forces, if something unexpected were to happen now, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
