"Cavalry, get ready!"
Wang Chong didn't even notice what was going on behind him. His mind was extremely calm and farsighted. This battle had now reached its most critical moment. The Annam Protectorate had the initiative, and Wang Chong was using his master archers to control the situation.
But the Ouzan army had not given up.
As long as they could repel this final wave of resistance, the seventy thousand Ouzan soldiers would be utterly routed. And it would be a landslide defeat!
"Neigh!"
All the cavalry gathered at Wang Chong's side, all of them looking down the mountain, their bodies exuding a fierce will to fight. This battle involved three empires and nearly one million soldiers. For the first time, they saw a sliver of hope.
To these exhausted soldiers who had been fighting for days, this sliver of hope was extremely important.
The summit was quiet. Other than the sound of the rain and the flapping of the banners, there was no other sound. The atmosphere was frighteningly quiet. Everyone was waiting for Wang Chong's order.
No one realized that from their initial doubts and unease, they had now developed an absolute trust in Wang Chong.
Come out, come out! I don't believe that you won't take action!
Wang Chong quietly said to himself as he looked down the mountain.
The Xiphodon Jiao Serro was one of the Five Tiger Generals of the Ouzan Empire's Ngari Royal Lineage, and there was also the Crown Prince of Mengshe Zhao, Fengjiayi. These were all dazzling individuals who could not be underestimated. In the southwestern war, although these people were not as dazzling as Dalun Ruozan, Huoshu Huizang, or Gelofeng, they had all played an equally important role.
One could say that the Annam Protectorate's crushing defeat was directly related to them.
Wang Chong didn't believe that Fengjiayi and Jiao Serro wouldn't react to his single-handedly orchestrating the northeastern battlefield. The Ouzan army was utterly routed. A general needed to look at the overall situation. If Fengjiayi and Jiao Serro couldn't even do this, then he would be overestimating them.
"Let's see when you'll react."
Wang Chong thought to himself.
Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. Wang Chong did not have to wait for long. Suddenly, the earth and sky shook in the southeast direction. The dense sound of horse hooves even drowned out the sound of the storm. The neighing of the highland steed could be heard even in the storm and thunder.
"Kill! — "
A series of deafening battle cries came from afar. In the blink of an eye, waves of cavalry, whose aura and strength far surpassed that of ordinary Ouzan soldiers, galloped towards them with a terrifying aura.
"The general has ordered that those who kill the enemy will live, and those who retreat will die! — — "
A white rainbow flashed, and a ferocious-looking herald rushed out of the gray rainstorm with a machete in his hand. His voice was incomparably tyrannical as he said,
"Imperial Guard, hear my order! Anyone who retreats will be executed!"
Roooar!
The reply to the messenger was a heaven-shaking roar, brimming with bestial savagery. One by one, the powerful and muscular Ouzan Imperial Guard dismounted from their horses, pulled out their scimitars, and lined them up in a row, the tips of their blades aimed at the summit.
So many cavalry, even though they were outnumbered, had been thrown into complete chaos. Each one of them was like a headless fly, unable to advance or retreat. To the Ouzan who revered bravery, this was a complete humiliation.
Almost at the same time that all the Imperial Guard dismounted, a new wave of Ouzan reinforcements transformed into a surging flood that charged toward the summit.
"Not good, it's dangerous!"
On the summit, beneath the giant banner, Chen Shusun's expression tightened, revealing a nervous expression.
Although his grasp of the art of war was inferior to Wang Chong's, Chen Shusun was still a veteran of the battlefield. Although the Tang army had the initiative on the battlefield, this was the result of Wang Chong's use of various tactics and formations.
But even the most powerful tactics and formations had a limit to what they could endure. There was no question that the Tang square formations that were on the offensive had already reached their limits. If another wave of eight to nine thousand elites came, it was very likely that the frontline would collapse due to the pressure.
"There's no need to worry!"
Wang Chong flicked his wrist, unconcerned.
"Have them charge over."
"But Milord, we won't be able to hold on like this!"
Several Tang generals at the side said. Wang Chong wasn't familiar with any of these people, but he knew that they were his big brother's guards.
"There's no need to worry! As long as we don't immediately collapse, it won't matter. "
Wang Chong calmly said.
Wang Chong made no attempt to stop this wave. As expected, the scene that everyone on the summit had been most worried about occurred.
Rumble! Like a flash flood, the vast army of Ouzan reinforcements burst like a silver bottle, smashing into the Tang formation and causing a massive upheaval. A blood-curdling scream resounded in the void.
Outside the 'pocket' that Wang Chong had laid down, the two Tang armies that had taken the initiative were gradually beginning to show signs of being unable to hold on.

"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
… …
Wang Chong calmly looked down the mountain, his mind ringing with the sound of a countdown. Looking down from the summit, Wang Chong could clearly see that as the battle progressed, the attention of this final group of reinforcements was completely focused on the two Tang camps that were charging down the mountain.
Everyone was doing their utmost to charge forward, paying little attention to the people on the summit. And as the battle intensified, this trend became more and more obvious.
"Four!
"Three!
"Two!
"One!
… …
When the count reached one, the ranks of the Ouzan reinforcements suddenly rippled. This ripple was not very obvious, like a bubble in a stream, but to Wang Chong, this was enough.
"To the southeast, cavalry, charge!"
After waiting for so long, Wang Chong had finally dispatched the cavalry that he had been saving for so long, the cavalry stationed on the summit.
Rumble! It was earth-shattering. The cavalry camp on the mountain peak had been waiting for this order for a long time. Now that they had suddenly received the order, the cavalrymen were practically fighting to be the first to leap down from the top of the mountain like a rapid waterfall.
"Neigh! … "
The neighing of the cavalry and the humming of metal mixed together. In just a short period of time, the cavalry had reached an extremely high speed. As this cavalry charged forward, no one noticed that at the base of the summit, beneath the flapping banner, Wang Chong's eyes flashed as he suddenly took a step forward.
Bang!
The bright cry of a horse came from the depths of space and time. The faint image of a massive and extraordinary warhorse appeared behind Wang Chong, and at the same time, a halo of fire shot out from Wang Chong's feet, rapidly spreading to cover the feet of all the cavalry.
The cavalry of the Annan Protectorate had already reached an extremely high speed, and now that they were suddenly boosted by the Halo of Dusk Stallion, their speed instantly skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, they had reached a peak speed.
"Rumble!"
Four thousand men and horses rushed down from the top of the mountain like a flash flood. Their momentum was unstoppable and unstoppable.
"Not good!"
"There's another Tang at the summit! Take up the formation, take up the formation!"
"It's cavalry! Watch out for the cavalry charge!"
… …
The sudden change at the top of the mountain alarmed all the reinforcements in the gray curtain of rain. Looking at the furious army charging over, everyone's eyes revealed a look of shock. In the torrential rain, the view from the base of the mountain was not as good.
No one had expected that the Annam Protectorate would still have an army that it had not mobilized. And this was the most powerful and terrifying cavalry force in this terrain.
An army of four thousand against the eight or nine thousand new Ouzan reinforcements … this force was enough to influence the outcome of this important battle!
"Take up the formation! Take up the formation! "
The Ouzan general madly kicked and lashed at the soldiers around him in an attempt to reorganize the formation. But it was too late. Everyone's attention was focused on the Tang army charging at them, intending to madly crush them. This also meant that they had lost the ability to adapt to the situation and take up the formation.
"Boom!"
Before these people could react, the four thousand cavalry had passed through the gaps in the army's formation like water leaking through a dam, smashing into the ranks of the new Ouzan reinforcements.
No one could stop this terrifying collision. The Tang soldiers who had survived were essentially the elite of the elite. Coupled with the force of the charge from their warhorses, the charge from each Tang Dynasty cavalry was equivalent to the full-strength attack of a True Martial Tier 7 expert.
This was not a force that ordinary Ouzan cavalry could easily block!
Cavalry had become an important deterrent on the battlefield precisely because of the combined strength of man and warhorse. In the hands of Wang Chong, this force of impact was pushed to its pinnacle.
"Ah! — — "
With a scream, an Ouzan cavalryman and his horse were thrown several dozen zhang into the air. The others were also completely unable to endure this force. Bangbangbang! In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Ouzan soldiers were thrown into the air.
The sounds of tendons snapping, bones breaking, horses neighing, metal clanging, halos clanging, collisions … all of it blended into one.
"Kiiiill! — — "
Their battle cries resounded through the clouds, and all the Great Tang cavalrymen revealed savage killing intent. In this melee, the newly appeared Ouzan cavalry had fallen into complete chaos.
"Ah! — — "
"Stop them! Stop them! "
"We can't stop them, we can't stop them!"
"There are too many of them!"
"It's bad, Milord has been killed in battle!"
… …
The counterattack that the Ouzan army had worked so hard to build up instantly collapsed. Even the Tang assault line that had been on the verge of breaking had been completely ruined.
As this battle continued, the Ouzan army had suddenly fallen into an unprecedented situation. The 'pocket', the middle of the reinforcements, and the rear had all collapsed. Not only had this pursuit of the Tang deserters failed to achieve any results, nearly ten thousand soldiers had died in battle, and the Tang army had also fallen into an extremely disadvantageous position.
"Damn it, just what's going on here? This person definitely isn't Wang Fu! "
On the mountain, an Ouzan officer stared at the banner on the summit, his eyes red as he furiously cursed.
In the entire southwest, including the Annam Protectorate, the only person that could pose a slight threat to the Ouzan army was the Wang Clan's Wang Fu. Even Lords Huoshu Huizang and Dalun Ruozan had to sigh in praise of that person's talent.
However, even if it was Wang Fu, it was impossible for him to have such terrifying leadership and commanding abilities!
In just a few moments, the situation on the battlefield had been reversed. Such a situation was simply unprecedented, and it could even be called a miracle. At the very least, from the Ouzan side, this was completely unimaginable.
And when one considered that the Ouzan army had an absolute advantage in numbers, this was even more difficult to accept.
But regardless of whether the Ouzan people could accept it or not, the northeast and the northeast were currently experiencing a complete rout of the Ouzan army, and this trend was spreading from the northeast and southeast to the other regions.
"Congratulations to user for killing 13961 Ouzan soldiers!"
"Congratulations to user for killing 16733 Ouzan soldiers!"
"Congratulations to user for killing 19927 Ouzan soldiers!"
"Congratulations to user for killing 21966 Ouzan soldiers!"
"Congratulations to user for killing 23459 Ouzan soldiers!"
"Congratulations to user for killing 26796 Ouzan soldiers!"
…
Wang Chong stood motionless on the mountain peak, a series of voices pouring down from his mind like a waterfall. The power and range of Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield Halo kept increasing, and Wang Chong's already high strength, under the influence of the Ouzan soldiers who had died in battle, grew again.
The battlefield was the best place to train, and also the best place to increase one's strength!
— — At least at this moment, this was what Wang Chong felt.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The power of the halos vibrated in his body, surging, and showing signs of fusing. In the darkness, a strange feeling welled up in his heart, and Wang Chong felt as if he had touched some hidden, indescribable power in the depths of time and space.
This feeling was both strange and familiar.
