High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

Fortunately, Li Mo intervened and stopped Zhang Ruxue from becoming too aggressive.

Otherwise, given Zhang Ruxue's personality, she would definitely lead the remaining people to fight the enemy to the death.

Morpheus's assessment of Zhang Ruxue was correct; she was good as a fierce general charging into battle, but she was absolutely not suited to be a commander of a large army.

"good!"

Zhang Ruxue nodded, and then led the remaining soldiers of the Vanguard Second Battalion out of the battlefield.

The enemy's most elite vanguard was about to reach the front line in a few minutes. If they hadn't retreated in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

However, Li Mo's appearance this time also completely exposed him. Some soldiers of the Black Earth Tribe took the opportunity to remember or take pictures of him, and soon his photos were sent to the hands of the Black Earth Tribe's chief commander, Morpheus.

Morpheus's face was grim. The worst-case scenario had come to pass: Great Xia had indeed produced a genius whose military skills were beyond comprehension!

The young man in front of them looked to be under twenty years old. Logically speaking, at this age, he would at most be a company commander in the army. But this guy led two battalions of soldiers and wiped out the key troops of their Black Soil Tribe!

"How are our medical units doing? What's the current situation of the battle at the front?"

Morpheus's tone was now somewhat annoyed, which frightened the messenger into trembling.

But the messenger could only answer truthfully.

"Savior, our medical unit has been completely annihilated by the enemy. They have prepared state-of-the-art high-tech equipment and have found an ambush site. Our medical unit is utterly incapable of resisting!"

Morpheus clenched his fists so tightly that his back teeth almost broke.

For the Black Earth Tribe army, which excels in hand-to-hand combat, the medical unit is the core of the core. Once the medical unit is gone, the Black Earth Tribe's advantage will vanish!

"Ugh!"

Morpheus sighed deeply. Fortunately, he had made preparations beforehand. The 10,000 medical troops were not all the medical soldiers of the Black Earth Tribe. He had also reserved about 5,000 medical reserves in the rear.

He was originally unwilling to mobilize these 5,000 reserves to the battlefield, but now he had no choice but to send them over.

Thinking of this, Morpheus became even angrier, wishing he could personally destroy these two thousand Great Xia people.

However, it is an ironclad rule that the God of War cannot take action. He can command his own army, but he cannot personally take action, otherwise this would be the fuse that destroys the world.

"So what's the situation on the front lines now? Those two thousand men should be almost wiped out by you, right?"

When Morpheus asked the question, the messenger couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Because we have 500,000 troops while the enemy only has 2,000, although the enemy launched a surprise attack and wiped out 10,000 medical troops, theoretically this attack was equivalent to a suicide attack, and the enemy had no way to escape.

But in fact, they actually got away!

"Savior, we have eliminated approximately two hundred enemy soldiers; the rest have fled. Commander White and Commander Baal are currently leading their troops in pursuit..."

Upon hearing this, Morpheus was completely stunned, and he looked at the messenger with a face full of confusion.

"You mean, you tens of thousands of men actually let two thousand enemy soldiers carrying heavy artillery escape?"

"Yes……"

Upon hearing the word "yes," Morpheus was so angry that he slapped the messenger across the face.

Morpheus was unaware that after finding an ambush site, Li Mo had already planned an escape route.

After the heavy artillery positions bombarded the enemy's medical units, Li Mo immediately ordered them to escape along the designated escape route, without even having to participate in any direct combat.

Near Xuelong Mountain, there was a very large swamp. After Li Mo met up with Zhang Ruxue, he joined Xu Feng's troops in that swamp and dragged all the pursuing enemies to that swamp.

Even though we've entered the era of advanced martial arts and everyone's strength has been greatly enhanced, swampy terrain is still extremely challenging.

Especially when a large group of people are marching!

Unless you can fly, swamps will generally slow down your march.

The enemy's main force was more difficult to mobilize, while Li Mo and his men, excluding the group at the heavy artillery positions, numbered only about a thousand, making them much easier to command than the enemy's main force.

Therefore, Li Mo and the others managed to leave their pursuers behind.

Despite being slapped, the messenger had no choice but to stand up obediently and relay the request from the front lines.

"Commander, Division Commander White asked me to consult you on whether they should continue the pursuit. Although they haven't fallen far behind the enemy, they can still determine the enemy's route by observing their movements. As long as they keep chasing, they can catch up!"

"General Baal also asked you about the next steps for our remaining troops, aside from those pursuing them, and whether we should continue marching."

At this point, Morpheus gradually calmed down and began to think of a solution.

He suddenly felt something was wrong. The enemy only had two thousand men. How could they dare to attack their 500,000-strong army so rashly? Most importantly, they were carrying heavy artillery!

Heavy weapons are extremely valuable to any country. Zhao Zhenyuan wasn't that foolish, because these two thousand people were most likely there to deliver equipment and kills to the Black Soil Tribe.

Morpheus knew Zhao Zhenyuan very well. Zhao Zhenyuan's specialty was using small groups of troops to raid the enemy. He even had a guess that the main force of the Great Xia had already arrived, and these two thousand men were just bait for the Great Xia!

If Morpheus sends men to continue the pursuit, they will be annihilated by the main force of the Great Xia...

Morpheus's rationality told him not to pursue any further, but he also wanted to see if the main force of the Great Xia was already close to the Seven Yuan Mountains.

Thinking of this, Morpheus immediately ordered, "Have White withdraw his men, leaving about a regiment, or about five thousand men, to continue the pursuit!"

"As for the other troops, let's temporarily combine them and halt our march. This way, if the main force of Great Xia arrives, we can react immediately!"

It must be said that Morpheus is indeed a thoughtful person. If the main force of the Great Xia really marches over, then his strategy is the best solution.

Unfortunately, he was overthinking things; even Zhao Zhenyuan was gambling this time.

Because the Great Xia had already missed the initiative, Zhao Zhenyuan had no choice but to send Li Mo with several thousand men to try to slow down the Black Earth Tribe's march.

Unexpectedly, thanks to Morpheus's actions, the Black Earth Tribe's army actually stopped marching. They only needed three days at most to conquer the entire Seven Yuan Mountain Range!
