"The entire army, hear the order: target Pu Yang, advance at full speed," Ye Shikai commanded. If everything goes smoothly, they would arrive in two days. However, escorting prisoners of war was a troublesome matter. With more than a thousand people, if not controlled properly, it could lead to a major incident. Man Cang was a hot-tempered man; if it weren't for Ye Shikai's order forbidding harm to the captives, he might have buried them alive by now.
"Old Ye, we suffered quite a loss this time. It can only be considered a pyrrhic victory," Shangguan Jian lamented. Although they managed to almost completely eliminate the five to six thousand insurgents at Beast Mountain, neither General, be it Ye Shikai or Shangguan Jian, was satisfied with the battle damage ratio, primarily due to the heavy losses at the Eagle Ridge camp.
