Infantry, axemen, spearmen, cavalry, shieldbearers, and godly archers worked closely together under Wang Chong's command. Like moving clouds and flowing water, they advanced steadily towards the top of the mountain.
Unlike the previous ambushes, Wang Chong led his army in a way that no one could have imagined. He chose to attack from the front.
Wang Chong did not even think of concealing it.
Forty to fifty thousand soldiers broke through the gray curtain of rain and attacked in a way that no one could have imagined. And of all the Tibetan armies, the northeast corner just so happened to be their weakest point.
Wang Chong's previous ambushes had allowed him to figure out the Ouzan's attack patterns and their defensive arrangements.
The Ouzan army's strength was no secret to Wang Chong.
"Hurry! Time is of the essence. Huoshu Huizang has been lured away by us. We need to break through the Ouzan army's formation as quickly as possible and bring the Annam Protectorate out of here. "
Wang Chong said.
Wang Chong's father Wang Yan, The Eagle, the veteran general Chen Shusun, and the two commandants Xu Shiping and Xu Andun all gathered around Wang Chong. According to Wang Chong's will, they commanded the army to advance like a tidal wave.
Clang clang clang!
The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out incessantly. Arrows, spears, sabers, and swords intertwined. In the southeast, all the Ouzan soldiers were completely routed under the pincer attack of the two armies.
Wang Chong's attack was extremely sharp. The army he chose to attack was precisely where the Ouzan army was the thinnest. The cooperation between the different armies was impeccable. Swords could not pierce through, and water could not splash through. It far exceeded everyone's expectations.
On the top of the mountain, Xianyu Zhongtong had already received Wang Chong's messenger pigeon. All of the armies hurriedly coordinated with each other and attacked from the northeast.
With two pincer attacks, the situation of the battle in the northeast could be imagined.
"Run!"
"How can there be so many of them?"
"It's the Wang father and son. They've turned around!"
"We can't stop them. What about the Great General? Only the Great General can deal with them. Only the Great General has a way! "
…
Ouzan would never give in so easily, but the form was stronger than the person. At the same time, he was facing attacks from both Wang Chong and Xianyu Zhongtong, and Wang Chong's Halo of Dusk Stallion and Bane of the Battlefield, and Ouzan's men were no match at all.
The collapse of the northeast side was far faster than anyone could have imagined. Wang Chong did not even give Huoshu Huizang a chance to return to the main army before he completely pierced through the Ouzan army in the northeast.
"Lord Wang, you really came!"
On the top of the mountain, everyone was drenched in the heavy rain. Xianyu Zhongtong stood on the top of the mountain, his eyes filled with desire. Seeing Wang Yan step out, he was first shocked, and then his face lit up with joy.
Xianyu Zhongtong had long ago wanted to know who it was that had come to save him.
But Xianyu Zhongtong had never imagined that it really would be Wang Yan, who should have disappeared by now. In the pouring rain, Xianyu Zhongtong was deeply moved that Wang Chong's forces had not abandoned them.
"Lord Protector-General has misunderstood. I am not the one commanding the army this time. It is my unworthy son, Wang Chong. "
Wang Yan's expression was solemn. Hearing Xianyu Zhongtong's words, he didn't say much. He only stepped to the side, revealing Wang Chong behind him.
"Lord Xianyu, it has been a long time!"
Wang Chong did not stand on ceremony. With a wave of his sleeve, he lightly stepped forward, passing by his father to appear before Xianyu Zhongtong.
"Chong gongzi?!"
Upon seeing Wang Chong, Xianyu Zhongtong's eyes widened in disbelief.
Xianyu Zhongtong had met Wang Chong before, and it had been at Zhangchou Jianqiong's banquet. Zhangchou Jianqiong seemed to view Wang Chong in a new light, and for this reason, Xianyu Zhongtong also had a deep impression of Wang Chong.
Moreover, Xianyu Zhongtong had some understanding of Wang Chong's affairs. The things he had done in the capital, including the storm he had stirred up in the royal court, were not things that an ordinary person could accomplish.
Not to mention, the Holy Emperor seemed to regard this young man highly.
Naturally, Xianyu Zhongtong had a deep impression of him as well.
Not to mention, the Lion City, which had saved nearly eighty thousand soldiers of the Annam Protectorate, was single-handedly constructed by Wang Chong.
Due to this, Xianyu Zhongtong was filled with gratitude toward the distant 'Chong gongzi' in the capital, even though Wang Chong was only a teenager, and he didn't even have a title of nobility.
【You are welcome to follow my official WeChat account and Weibo. You can search for Huangfu Qi. There are many contents that can't be found in novels.】
"Chong gongzi, it's you!"
Xianyu Zhongtong abruptly stepped forward and grabbed Wang Chong's hands in agitation. For Wang Chong to descend from the sky at this moment was nothing short of a miracle.
This was something that Xianyu Zhongtong didn't expect.
Wang Chong was also taken aback. He hadn't expected Xianyu Zhongtong's attitude. After all, he was still the Protector-General of the empire, a position on par with people like Geshu Han and Zhang Shougui.
Though in terms of personal prestige, he was still lacking.
"Lord Protector-General, this isn't the time to talk about this. I've already used the tactic of luring Huoshu Huicang away. However, he might return at any moment. Time is of the essence, so we must leave as soon as possible! "
Wang Chong opened his palm and revealed the token that Zhangchou Jianqiong had given him. The battlefield was ever-changing, and anything could happen. The slightest mistake could lead to the destruction of an army.
Wang Chong didn't dare to make this sort of mistake.
After all, no one could bear the consequences.
"This is the token that Lord Zhangchou gave me. Seeing the token is the same as seeing the person. Lord Protector-General, on our way here, Lord Zhangchou said that the past is the past, and the urgent task is to preserve our strength and ensure the safety of the Annam Protectorate. As for the affairs of the southwest, listen to my orders in the future. Milord, please cooperate … This is also Lord Zhangchou's order! "
As Wang Chong spoke, he took out a white envelope.
Xianyu Zhongtong was the Protector-General of the empire. Regardless of his original status, he was currently the commander of the southwest. A single token didn't mean much. Only Zhangchou Jianqiong's personal token and handwritten letter could be trusted.
This was why Wang Chong had visited Zhangchou Jianqiong to ask for them.
"Chong-er!!"
Even Wang Chong's father, Chen Shusun, and Xu Shiping were shocked to see the letter and token in Wang Chong's hand. The token was secondary, but it was clear that none of them knew about the letter.
Not even Wang Yan had expected that Wang Chong had come this time to take over Xianyu Zhongtong's command.
"Chong-er, what are you doing? Making trouble! Stand down! "
Wang Yan harshly rebuked, his face dark.
But Wang Chong pretended not to hear, his eyes fixed on Xianyu Zhongtong.
Rain continued to fall from the sky, but Wang Chong used Stellar Energy to deflect it so that none of it landed on the letter. Time was short, and the sounds of fighting could shake the heavens. They didn't have much time left.
Although he had thought that Xianyu Zhongtong wouldn't disobey, he didn't have much time left. But if Xianyu Zhongtong refused to listen, there was nothing he could do.
Hiss!
Xianyu Zhongtong couldn't hear anything. He stared at the black token in Wang Chong's hand and then at the letter. He took in a deep breath and came to his senses.
He didn't even need to open the letter in Wang Chong's hand to recognize it as Zhangchou Jianqiong's handwriting.
With Zhangchou Jianqiong's token and his handwritten letter, there was no longer any doubt as to the credibility of Wang Chong's words.
Xianyu Zhongtong had never imagined that the Protector-General would give the command of the army in the southwest to this teenager!
And one that didn't have much to do with the Southwestern Protectorate army.
At this moment, countless thoughts flew through Xianyu Zhongtong's mind. As he stared at the familiar token and letter and recalled the strange activity at the base of the mountain, Xianyu Zhongtong seemed to understand something.
"There's no need!"
Xianyu Zhongtong pushed aside the letter in Wang Chong's hand. There were some things that didn't need to be seen. Since Lord Zhangchou was willing to hand over his personal token to the young man before him, his intentions had been made clear.
That letter was superfluous.
"Since Lord Zhangchou has already given the order, we will follow Young Master's orders. Everyone, hear my order! Assemble the army and break out! "
On the mountain, Xianyu Zhongtong issued the final order for this battle.
Bang!
The soldiers on the mountain immediately responded, their morale soaring.
Let alone Wang Yan and Chen Shusun, even Wang Chong was surprised that Xianyu Zhongtong had so readily handed over command.
"Everyone, hear my order! Break out!"
Elated, Wang Chong urged his horse down the mountain. At the same time, he immediately gave the order for the army to break out.
Rumble! Just like that, a massive breakthrough that would decide the fate of the empire and the southwest began in the rainy night.
I didn't think that it would be him!
In the darkness, Wang Chong had no idea that a pair of eyes had been silently observing him. If he had only been guessing at the start, then now, with Wang Chong's order, everything became clear.
The person commanding the army at the base of the mountain and exhausting the Ouzan army was none other than that youth galloping down the mountain.
No wonder Lord Protector-General gave him command of the army!
Xianyu Zhongtong had long ago heard of Wang Chong's abilities. But not even Xianyu Zhongtong could have imagined that Wang Chong was also talented in the field of military affairs.
Although he was a little shocked, upon further thought, Xianyu Zhongtong began to understand.
For a teenager to be able to command an army that far surpassed that of a renowned general of the empire sounded inconceivable, and anyone else would find it hard to believe. But if it was Wang Chong … when he thought about the Regional Commanders incident and that miraculous Lion City that had saved everyone's lives, Xianyu Zhongtong began to understand.
I didn't think that it would be the Wang Clan's father and son!
Xianyu Zhongtong laughed bitterly in his heart, then quickly galloped off into the rain.
Although Xianyu Zhongtong had long ago determined that the one commanding the army at the base of the mountain was not Wang Yan or Wang Fu, in the end, he had still proven that it was the 'Wang Clan's father and son'.
