Chapter 135
Dark Sky Village
Thud thud
The warhorses thunder across the plains.
Immediately following the grand victory, our army advanced to encircle Luoyang Castle. Although we only had about 50,000 troops capable of being a real force, the enemy was left in shambles, with barely any proper defensive units remaining. Mangnyang received intel that the defensive forces in Luoyang were less than 10,000, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face.
“Very well. Let’s solidify our siege first.”
Lee Kwang, who was present at the commander’s meeting, asked Mangnyang,
“Wouldn’t it be better to strike immediately?”
I glanced at Lee Kwang. He seemed quite hesitant, but he had played a significant role in the recent battle. If it weren’t for Lee Kwang and Jin So-cheong cutting through the enemy’s lines with their impressive martial prowess, our forces would have been annihilated. Additionally, it seemed Lee Kwang had such a considerable military reputation that even the prominent warriors in the barracks couldn’t meet his gaze.
“The siege is already underway, and the Siege Weapons are prepared. The Defensive Forces only number in the thousands; are we going to let this golden opportunity slip away?”
