"Young Master, where should we attack next?"
In the depths of the rain and wind, Wang Chong and The Eagle had gathered together, leading several soaked armies. Wang Chong's strategy was already showing its effects. The army at the base of the mountain was in chaos, making it impossible for them to focus on attacking the Annam Protectorate.
In all his years as an official, this was the first time The Eagle had fought to his heart's content.
He felt like he was dancing on the edge of a blade. He was facing more than one hundred thousand Ouzan cavalry, and the slightest mistake could result in his death. But under Wang Chong's arrangements, each attack was more daunting than dangerous. Not only was it more daunting than dangerous, it was also playing around with the Ouzan army, throwing them into chaos.
This was completely different from The Eagle's understanding of the cruelty and cold-bloodedness of the battlefield, where one could die at any moment!
For a moment, The Eagle was forced to admit that he was a little infatuated with this feeling.
"We can't attack anymore!"
To his surprise, Wang Chong completely rejected the Eagle's idea.
"Don't forget that the Ouzan still have Huoshu Huizang. Part of the reason we were able to succeed so early on was because of our proper planning, but the other part was that Huoshu Huizang underestimated us. We could forget about it before, but now that things have developed to this point, if Huoshu Huizang still doesn't come out, then he really is a Great General! "
"Ah!"
The Eagle was dumbfounded.
The feeling of toying with a Tibetan army of more than one hundred thousand, of toying with a powerful foe in the palm of one's hand, was so intoxicating that it made one forget for a moment that the Tibetan army had not moved. As Ouzan Great General, Huoshu Huizang had been overseeing the center of the army and had not moved at all.
A chill poured down from the top of the head, and The Eagle's entire body went cold as he came to his senses.
Imperial Great Generals played a decisive role. Their individual strength might not be enough to overturn a battle, but they were more than capable of changing the outcome. Based on everyone's current condition, it would be fine if they didn't encounter Huoshu Huizang. But if they did encounter him, four to five thousand men would be insignificant to someone of that level.
At the very least, it would be a piece of cake for him to heavily injure them!
Being lucky for a while doesn't mean you'll be lucky forever!
"After playing for so long, it's time to stop!"
Wang Chong glanced at The Eagle and paused.
"And don't forget what our goal is."
"You are right, Young Master. I was careless."
Weng! The Eagle's entire body turned cold, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately came to his senses. That's right! From the very beginning, Wang Chong had made it very clear that the purpose of this operation was to create a diversion and constantly harass the enemy. Their goal was not simply to kill the enemy. With just their army, it was impossible for them to defeat Huoshu Huizang's army head-on.
Their goal was only to restrain him!
But this was not their ultimate goal.
"Milord, what should we do next?"
The Eagle sternly said.
"Hmph! After harassing them for so long, it's time for us to take action. Pass on my order. Have them move out! In addition, send a message to Protector-General Xianyu on the summit. Without their cooperation, we won't be able to do this. "
Wang Chong's gaze pierced through the air toward the distant mountain peak.
The Central Plains' Tang Dynasty and Ouzan would have a decisive battle, but not today, not now. The urgent task at hand was to bring out Xianyu Zhongtong and the tens of thousands of Annan Protector-General under his command. This was the ultimate goal of this operation!
"Yes, Young Master!"
The Eagle sternly said, his expression extremely respectful. After pausing for a moment, he thought of something and said,
"Then, Young Master, I'll summon the others back."
"No!"
Wang Chong shook his head, his profound eyes gazing up at the thick thunderclouds, an astonishing light in them.
"The operation must continue. If we don't continue, how can we succeed?"
The Eagle blankly stared at Wang Chong, unable to understand what he was thinking. Wang Chong had clearly rejected his suggestion, but now, he was saying that the operation must continue.
This completely different decision left the Eagle in a daze, unable to grasp what Wang Chong was thinking.
Ha!
Wang Chong sensed the Eagle's thoughts, but he only smiled and did not explain. Slowly turning his head, Wang Chong peered through the darkness to the southwest of the mountain range.
"Huoshu Huizang, if I'm not mistaken, you should be there right now, right? With your intelligence, there's no way you wouldn't have noticed! But alas … "
A brilliant light flashed through Wang Chong's eyes, but he stopped thinking about it.
In this world, Huoshu Huizang was definitely one of the most supreme existences. Whether it was in intelligence or martial prowess, an Imperial Great General was not someone that ordinary generals, generals, or generals could compare to.
An ordinary opponent really wouldn't be a match for Huoshu Huizang. Alas, Huoshu Huizang's opponent was Wang Chong. Not even this Great General of the Ouzan Empire could have imagined that his opponent would be the War Saint who would reign supreme over the world!
"I didn't think that we would finally fight. Although, for the time being, this method … "
Wang Chong quietly said to himself.
In his last life, one of Wang Chong's greatest regrets was that he had missed out on the peak of his era, missing out on the chance to compete with those illustrious Great Generals and Marshals.
This was an era of dazzling generals, and he, the publicly acknowledged War Saint, had never been able to exchange blows with these top-class military figures.
This had always been a deep regret in Wang Chong's heart.
But now, this regret had finally been fulfilled.
Even though the price of this clash of soldiers was the fate of the Tang dynasty and the Ouzan Empire for the next few decades, as well as the lives of the nearly one million civilians of the southwest!
Wang Chong could not afford to lose this war.
"The Eagle, come here. In a little while, follow my orders!"
Wang Chong came back to his senses, his eyes turning sharp.
"Yes, Young Master!"
The Eagle's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he listened to Wang Chong's whisper. In the end, he respectfully replied and swiftly left to carry out his orders.
… …
The night was quiet. Compared to the fierce battle at the top of the mountain, the foot of the mountain seemed even quieter.
The Tang people wearing the armor of the Ouzan people and riding on the highland steeds of the Ouzan people had already affected the arrangement of the Ouzan army, restraining a large number of troops. At the base of the mountain, everyone was on high alert, but their main task was no longer to deal with the Annam Protectorate led by Xianyu Zhongtong at the summit, but the elusive troops of the Tang people.
[Welcome to my official WeChat account and Weibo. Just search for Huangfu Qi. There are many contents not found in novels.]
The sky was dark, and the sky was getting darker.
Southwest of the base of the mountain, a group of people looked at the dark storm in front of them and were on high alert.
"Rumble!"
Lightning flashed. Suddenly, the sound of hooves came from the opposite side. At first, it was inaudible, but it gradually became louder. Everyone's spirits immediately became tense.
"Who are you? Stop! Don't come any closer! "
An Ouzan general stood in the heavy rain with both hands on his scimitar and shouted in the Ouzan language.
"Take off your helmets and show your identity!"
Behind him, many Ouzan cavalrymen sat on their horses. They looked into the distance and pulled out their scimitars. But that was all. No one dared to act rashly. Because they had killed their own people by mistake several times before.
The current situation made everyone panic. On the one hand, they were suspicious of the identity of the other side, and on the other hand, they were afraid of killing their own people by mistake. Before they confirmed the identity of the other side, all the Ouzan people were in a dilemma.
"Di da da!"
The sound of hooves was getting closer and closer. Finally, many ferocious black shadows appeared in the heavy rain as if they had walked out of the netherworld.
"Don't attack. We are on the same side!"
An Ouzan language came from the dark night. As those people spoke, they quickly approached.
"Buzz!"
Not only did the atmosphere not relax, but it also became more and more tense. A cavalryman pressed his hands on the back of his scimitar, and blue veins bulged on his arms.
"Take off your helmets!"
"Stop! Don't come any closer!"
"Who the hell are you people?"
"Bastard, didn't I tell you not to come any closer?"
…
Everyone became nervous. Because while they were talking, not only did the other side not stop, but they were also getting closer.
"We are not enemies!"
That person's voice came from the dark night again. He was still moving forward.
"Everyone, be careful. There is something wrong with these guys!"
The atmosphere was tense, and even the slowest person could feel it. After experiencing so many things, everyone became very cautious.
But no one dared to make a move because they still couldn't confirm the identity of the other side.
Heavy rain poured down, and the pitter-patter covered everything. No one dared to confirm if the other side didn't hear them clearly. After all, this situation had happened before.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort rang out. In the crowd, no one noticed that there was only one person who clenched his fists and looked at the approaching black shadows. He let out a cold smile of death.
While everyone else was worried about the figure in front of them, he felt like he was watching a group of ants walking into a death trap.
"Come on!"
Huoshu Huizang looked at the other side like he was looking at a group of corpses.
At this moment, Huoshu Huizang was wearing the armor of a soldier and had retracted his aura. It was impossible to tell that he was an Imperial Great General at all.
Even if Longqinba were standing next to him, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize him. But even so, everyone knew that this soldier's physical strength was enough to destroy the world and inflict a heavy blow on this army.
Six hundred zhang!
Five hundred zhang!
Four hundred zhang!
As the distance got closer and closer, Huoshu Huizang remained hidden in the army, unmoved, but the killing intent in his eyes grew thicker and thicker.
Three hundred zhang!
This distance was already rather dangerous. If he went any further … just a little bit more, these people would enter his attack range. As long as he was within one hundred zhang, not a single one of them would be able to escape!
An Imperial Great General was more than capable of destroying them.
Buzz!
The footsteps stopped abruptly. Without any warning, the army suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Twangtwangtwang!
The bowstrings vibrated, and before anyone could react, a torrential rain of arrows rained down from the opposing camp.
"Ah! Ahhh! "
Screams filled the air as everyone was struck dumb by this sudden turn of events. Even Huoshu Huizang was dumbfounded. He had never imagined that these people would suddenly change tactics and use an arrow rain.
But what was even more shocking was yet to come!
Hong long long, the warhorses neighed. After the first wave of arrows, the strange black shadows suddenly turned around and ran away without saying anything.
Before the others could react, the army had already run five thousand zhang away!
Astonishment! Surprise! Shock!
Countless complicated expressions appeared on the faces of the soldiers, all of them dumbstruck by this sight.
"Kill them! Boom!
Rumbling sounds could be heard as everyone stared in shock at the sudden turn of events. However, one person suddenly stood out from the crowd, and shot forward like a bolt of lightning in pursuit of Meng Hao.
"Do you think you can escape?"
