What's wrong with me, a powerful minister, supporting a few female officials?

Chapter 71 Dragon Gate Cave! The Hundred-Household Commander is Ruthless!

Lin Moyin didn't refute Bai Shouren's words, but changed the subject and said, "Commander He, Commander Bai!"

"Without further ado."

"Tieshan and Anyang counties are ready."

"We will set off immediately and make sure to capture all the members of the Heavenly Mother Cult!"

He Xingguo and Bai Shouren's expressions turned serious, and they nodded emphatically!

"As Lord Lin said!"

At a single command from the three men.

The crowd immediately wrapped the horse's hooves in cloth and put a muzzle on it.

More than three hundred cavalrymen launched a silent raid on Longmen Cave in Taihe County!

To maintain secrecy, the marching route was naturally chosen to be a rugged mountain path.

Su Mo had to hold on tightly to the female commander to avoid being thrown off the horse.

This time they were much more obedient.

The large hand moved silently to the foot of the mountain and then remained still.

In front of so many people, we have to give the centurion some face!

Nevertheless, Su Mo still felt as if dozens or even hundreds of spearheads were pointed at his back, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Everyone else was riding alone, but he was riding with Lin Moyin on the same horse. It was hard not to attract attention with such good fortune.

I need to practice my dismounting skills diligently from now on.

In ancient times, the fastest means of transportation was horses.

If your skills aren't up to par, even a fine horse won't let you ride it!
I wonder if Taoist sorcerers have a more convenient and faster way to travel, such as flying on a sword or using a flying boat or other magical artifact.

Judging from Lin Moyin's situation, it's highly unlikely.

This should only be a low-level immortal world, not the kind of primordial world in Journey to the West or Investiture of the Gods where immortals can move mountains and fill seas at will!

Otherwise, the immortal sorcerers would not have allowed the Great Wu Empress to seize power over the world and the divine artifacts of the state!
For Su Mo, this is better.

Anyway, it's unlikely that I'll ever become a terrestrial immortal or live forever.

He became a high-ranking official and trampled Taoist sorcerers underfoot.

It's definitely ten thousand times better than being a mere ant in the eyes of the primordial immortals!
Just as Su Mo was lost in thought.

More than 300 riders had stopped in a mountain hollow halfway up the mountain in Taihe County.

A petite woman dressed in black suddenly appeared.

"The situation of the Longmen Grottoes cultists has been investigated!"

"There are probably over four hundred people inside, equipped with armor and warhorses!"

"The fourth-grade demon locust mother is very likely also hiding in the Dragon Gate Cave!"

"Commander Fu has ordered you to wait here for the attack signal!"

Lin Moyin nodded slightly.

He waved the woman away.

He Xingguo and Bai Shouren's expressions turned serious!

None of them were immortal cultivators or sorcerers, so they were naturally a little uneasy upon hearing that the fourth-rank demon locust mother was there.

That's a terrifying monster, equivalent to a Grand Sorcerer in the Divine Realm!
However, seeing Lin Moyin's calm and confident demeanor, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

It must be admitted that the Embroidered Uniform Guard was extremely capable and meticulous in its work.

Now that we know that such a ferocious monster is hiding in the Dragon Gate Cave, we must prepare countermeasures.

Su Mo followed Lin Moyin obediently, never leaving her side.

War is dangerous and perilous.

Even without the female centurion's reminder, he remembered to stay at least ten steps away from his lord! He was here to gain experience and merit, not to risk his life!
Sure enough, not long after, flames appeared in a triangular pattern on two other hilltops.

Lin Moyin raised an eyebrow!
"Prepare!"

More than three hundred cavalrymen immediately removed the muzzles and cloths from their horses, mounted their horses, and gripped their weapons tightly!
Seeing over three hundred cavalrymen preparing for battle, their imposing presence and the occasional neighing or hooves of horses creating an oppressive atmosphere, it was almost suffocating!
Su Mo was shocked!

What a terrifying army!

This only included the Imperial Guards, the Battalion Soldiers, and the semi-official Imperial Guards.

I can't even imagine how terrifying the fighting power of the imperial court's truly elite border troops and imperial guards is!
However, the Great Wu Dynasty had only been established for fifty years, and since its founding, it had been constantly at war. Its army's fighting strength was quite formidable, far surpassing that of the army at the end of the dynasty.

For this reason, even immortal cultivators and sorcerers can only compete with the Empress for power within the rules of the imperial court!
With an elite army deployed, even the most powerful immortals and sorcerers would likely be reduced to dust!
The army is fully prepared and ready to go.

A dazzling firework suddenly shot into the sky!

Lin Moyin, He Xingguo, and Bai Shouren, without prior agreement, pointed forward and shouted, "Attack!"

Each of the three men led their generals, whipped their warhorses, and, under the bright moonlight, swiftly charged towards the Longmen Cave at the foot of the mountain!
Su Mo felt the wind whistling through his ears, and his running speed was probably over 80 kilometers per hour. He held on tightly to the female centurion.

Outside the Longmen Grottoes, a cavalry unit dressed entirely in black emerged from the grottoes.

The warhorses ridden by the Heavenly Mother Cult's cavalry were all tall and magnificent, no less so than those on Lin Moyin's side. Their iron armor, rattan armor, and leather armor were all dyed black, like ghosts in the night!
Su Mo secretly swallowed.

This isn't some kind of cult, it's clearly an army!

Su Mo gained a new understanding of the strength of the Heavenly Mother Sect!

Lord Lin Moyin, you must keep your promise and not reveal your secret!
A cult is still a cult.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Imperial Guard, and the soldiers were not incompetent fools.

It's a calculated move, done with intention but not intention.

If the cultists escape, the three generals might as well commit suicide together.

The vanguard of the Heavenly Mother Sect had just left the Dragon Gate Cave when they were horrified to discover that shouts of killing erupted all around them.

It was as if countless soldiers were attacking from all directions.

Lin Moyin personally led her elite troops, piercing the heart of the cult forces like a knife, and forcefully cutting the enemy in two!

Troops from Tieshan County and Anyang County attacked simultaneously.

They wrapped up the Heavenly Mother Cult troops tightly, like wrapping dumplings!
The elite troops of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were responsible for blocking the exit of Longmen Cave!
The terror of cavalry lies in their charge!
The imperial army, moving at full speed, charged towards the unsuspecting Heavenly Mother Cult cavalry; the outcome was inevitable.

Su Mo initially thought that Lin Moyin had been threatening to kill him.

It has extremely low gold content.

I only realized it now.

I was terribly wrong!
He held the female commander tightly with both arms and peeked out to check the situation.

Then I felt a huge spray of scalding hot blood rushing over my head and face!

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the black-armored cavalryman who had just passed by had his head blown into the air!
The female commander rode her warhorse with both feet, holding a knife in one hand and a spear in the other!
They charged into the enemy camp as if no one else was there!
Wherever the straight blade struck, limbs flew through the air.

The spears flashed like dragons, and one after another, the black-armored cavalrymen were pierced and fell from their horses!
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight Heavenly Mother Cult cavalrymen had died under the swords and spears of the female centurion!
Born in a peaceful era, Su Mo felt that the most vicious and evil people during this period were the clerks who oppressed the people.

Now that I'm on the battlefield myself, I realize how naive I was!

One after another, vibrant lives vanished right before Su Mo's eyes, like chickens and dogs being raised to be slaughtered!
Su Mo's breath seemed to stop.

He forgot to wipe the blood streaming down his face!

This is what ancient times were like!
In an ancient world where strength reigned supreme and people ate each other!
The battle cries were deafening!
Roars, screams, neighing horses, and the clanging of swords and spears create a tragic and merciless war song!

However, this was just a very small battle!

Su Mo could hardly imagine it.

How brutal would a battle involving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops be!
The two hundred-plus riders of the Heavenly Mother Sect, who were leaving Longmen Cave and preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Ancestral Emperor's Mausoleum, were almost slaughtered by the enemy, who outnumbered them several times over!

Lin Moyin saw that there were not many cultists left to resist.

Without hesitation, he spurred his horse and leaped into the air.

They charged fiercely towards the battlefield of Longmen Grottoes!
