"What's going on?"
Wang Chong frowned as he glanced in the direction of the voice. At the same time, he called over a soldier of the Anxi Protectorate army.
"Milord, it's the Qiluo Tribe. Several lambs froze to death last night. The Qiluo Tribe says that it's inauspicious for lambs to freeze to death before winter, so they're all clamoring to leave. "
The Anxi Protectorate army soldier reported.
The Anxi Protectorate army had been rooted in the Western Regions for many years, and the majority of its soldiers knew a little of the Hu language, so they had some understanding of the various tribes of the Western Regions. When Wang Chong had led his soldiers to Talas, he had left the coordination of the tribes of the Western Regions to the Anxi Protectorate army.
"Lambs froze to death?"
Wang Chong's brow creased.
"We also find it strange. Lambs freezing to death shouldn't be too big of a deal, but the Qiluo Tribe has always valued lambs. They say that lambs are cared for by their mothers, so they normally wouldn't freeze to death. In the past, lambs have always been able to survive, with only two or three of them occasionally freezing to death. But this year, before it even started snowing, ten-some lambs have already frozen to death. The Qiluo Tribe says that this isn't a good omen. "
The Anxi Protectorate army soldier at the gate lowered his head and bowed.
Wang Chong's brow furrowed even deeper, a thought flitting through his mind. Some things were becoming clearer and clearer. But Wang Chong said nothing.
"How do you intend to deal with this matter?"
Wang Chong asked.
This was a crucial period of war, and the tribes of the Western Regions were responsible for supplying the Qixi Protectorate and the Anxi Protectorate army. They could not be allowed to leave now. If the Qiluo Tribe was allowed to leave, the other tribes would begin to clamor to leave as well. This would have a massive effect on the Qixi Protectorate and the Anxi Protectorate army.
"General Cheng has already taken Ferghanan Chief Banahan to deal with this matter. Banahan has a great reputation in the Western Regions, so he should be able to quickly settle this matter. "
The Anxi Protectorate army soldier said.
When Wang Chong heard this, he nodded slightly. His furrowed brows relaxed. It seemed that Gao Xianzhi had also realized the seriousness of this matter, just like himself. Therefore, he had specially sent Cheng Qianli and Banahan. With the help of these two important figures, the problem of Qiluo Tribe should be solved quickly.
"Tell General Cheng that if something like this happens again in the future, tell all the tribes in the Western Regions that the Tang dynasty will give extra compensation to all the cattle and sheep that freeze to death."
Wang Chong said.
"Yes, my lord!"
The Anxi Protectorate army soldier froze for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and bowed before swiftly departing.
The Anxi Protectorate Army and the Qixi Protectorate were currently in charge of their own forces, but for the sake of better communication and coordination, both sides had dispatched their own soldiers to assist the other. The Anxi Protectorate army soldier standing in front of Wang Chong's door had been sent by Gao Xianzhi to Wang Chong.
After sending off the Anxi Protectorate army soldier, Wang Chong suddenly whistled for the White-hoofed Shadow and set off for the second training ground in the western part of the city.
There were three training grounds in Talas, each capable of holding two hundred thousand soldiers. The first training ground had already been occupied by the Wushang cavalry, and the second training ground had been used by Wang Chong to train one of the most unique types of soldiers in Talas.
Hwoooo! Even before Wang Chong had reached the second training ground, he could already sense a massive tremor. Unlike the tremors caused by a cavalry charge, these tremors came one after the other, like the crashing of waves in an extremely rhythmic manner. At the same time, he could hear shouts and shouts.
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
… …
Waves of shouts resounded out, and they were filled with an indomitable and courageous aura.
The Mo Saber Unit!
Wang Chong faintly smiled as he looked into the distance. As this thought flitted through his mind, he urged his horse forward, quickly arriving at the second training ground.
This massive training ground was built from thick slabs of gray stone, its edges lined with wooden statues. On the training ground, an elite army of nearly ten thousand soldiers was divided into three long human walls, all of them diligently training. Each soldier wielded a thick metal cudgel more than seven feet long, and all of them were repeatedly practicing. There were only three simple movements: hack, slash, and sweep.
Although the movements were simple, when ten thousand elite soldiers used the same movements, they exuded an aura that could topple mountains and overturn seas.
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
… …
All the soldiers were red in the face and drenched in sweat as they repeatedly swung, sheathed, and unsheathed their sabers. These simple movements required all their strength.
"Milord!"
Upon seeing Wang Chong, the King Of Gangke, Xi Yuanqing, and Lou Shiyi all came forward to welcome him.
"The Mo Saber Unit has begun to take shape. Milord, please inspect it!"
The three of them looked at Wang Chong with eyes brimming with respect. The Mo Saber Unit had been Wang Chong's idea, and Gao Xianzhi had strongly approved of it. Moreover, he had ordered the entire Anxi Protectorate army to cooperate with him. Under the influence of the two Protector-Generals, all the soldiers were extremely focused on this matter and trained day and night. But only Wang Chong had the right to judge how well they had trained.
Wang Chong said nothing, his gaze slowly sweeping over the training ground. Even he had to admit that the army trained by Xi Yuanqing, Lou Shiyi, and the King Of Gangke was doing far better than he had imagined. Xi Yuanqing and Lou Shiyi were veteran generals of the Anxi Protectorate army and extremely experienced. With the two of them working together, the Mo Saber Unit had taken shape much faster than he had imagined.
But Wang Chong did not lightly speak. A moment later …
Bang!
Under the stunned gazes of Xi Yuanqing, Lou Shiyi, and the King Of Gangke, Wang Chong suddenly turned around and unleashed a tsunami of energy. In a flash, the air boomed as this enormous energy seemed to take physical form, enveloping the entire training ground and slamming into the Mo Saber Unit.
Whoosh! In the corner closest to Wang Chong, a group of unprepared Mo Saber warriors, who were in the middle of training, instantly fell into chaos.
With Wang Chong's current level of martial arts and his formidable Psychic Energy, no ordinary Mo Saber Unit could endure this sort of pressure. Under the influence of Wang Chong's energy, the training of the Mo Saber Unit was immediately disrupted and began to collapse like dominoes.
But a moment later, just when the ten thousand Mo Saber warriors were about to be routed, the situation suddenly changed. The ten thousand Mo Saber warriors had been fighting on their own, but under the stimulation of Wang Chong's energy, they seemed to awaken. The auras of the tens of thousands of Mo Saber warriors flowed into the sea, fusing together into a steely aura that was even more terrifying than Wang Chong's.
Rumble! A second later, this enormous energy crashed into Wang Chong's energy. In an instant, the earth trembled, and the air above the entire Second Training Ground emitted a heavy, steel-like roar.
"Neigh!"
With a neigh, the White-hoofed Shadow beneath Wang Chong staggered back several steps.
"Milord!"
Xi Yuanqing, Lou Shiyi, and the King Of Gangke were alarmed and hurriedly urged their horses forward.
"I'm fine!"
Wang Chong waved his right hand, stopping them before they could rush over. As he looked at the ten thousand Mo Saber Unit's Qi that had fused together like an impenetrable fortress, Wang Chong's eyes shone brightly, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.
The most powerful aspect of the Mo Saber Unit was not their individual martial strength, but rather the fusion of their Qi, forming an indestructible and sharp line of defense. They were both an impenetrable fortress and a forest of blades and swords. The auras of ten thousand warriors merged into one. That kind of indomitable and unstoppable momentum was the reason why they charged and broke through enemy lines on the battlefield and were invincible.
Behind him, Xi Yuanqing, Lou Shiyi, and the King Of Gangke clearly understood, and they began to contemplate the massive training ground.
When Gao Xianzhi and Wang Chong had first issued this order, the three of them had also been puzzled as to why they needed to form this army, especially when they were so short on soldiers. But now, no one had any doubts. Even Xi Yuanqing, Lou Shiyi, and the others felt that this enormous aura was enough to change the course of the battlefield.
"Do you see? In the future, train in this direction. Spirit, energy, mind, and strength! This is the essence of the Mo Saber Unit!"
Wang Chong sternly said.
"This general understands!"
The three replied in unison.
Without another word, Wang Chong urged his horse to charge into the ranks of the Mo Saber unit and inspect them one by one.
"Hold the hilt one foot from the hilt with your left hand and three feet from the hilt with your right. Only in this way can you display the full power of the Mo Saber. In addition, when you slash, make your waist and thigh as one. You must not only use Stellar Energy, but also the strength of your entire body. "
"Yes, your subordinate understands!"
"Your movements are wrong. When you raise the saber over your head, your arm is not completely straight, but you should hold back some strength. This is a process of accumulating strength, just like a mechanism. If you are too straight, you will use the same move and lack flexibility!"
"Yes!"
… …
Wang Chong slowly rode through the Mo Saber Unit, correcting the movements of the Mo Saber soldiers.
This was a new type of soldier, and there was no precedent for it. In this aspect, only Wang Chong could correct them one by one. Behind him, the King Of Gangke, Xi Yuanqing, and the others also understood the uniqueness of this unit and listened attentively, committing it to memory.
"General Xi, General Lou, time is limited, and the Mo Saber Unit doesn't have much time to train. I hope that you will firmly remember the important points I just told you. I will leave this task to you. I believe in you!"
"Milord, be at ease! We will do our best!"
The three said in unison.
Whoosh! Just as they were speaking, an eagle suddenly flew down from the sky, heading in Wang Chong's direction.
"Hmm?"
Wang Chong raised his eyebrows and quickly stretched out a finger to catch the eagle flying down from the sky. Removing the letter from the eagle's leg, Wang Chong glanced at it, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.
