With Duan Wuzhi personally leading the charge, the White Stone Legion was completely different from before. Compared to before, the destructive power and charging power they displayed were completely different.
"I don't believe that a hundred thousand White Stone Legion can't break through the camp of these defeated generals! — Everyone, follow me. Whoever dares to retreat will be executed without exception! "
Duan Wuzhi waved his long sword. Behind him, all the personal guards of the White Stone Legion formed a dense formation and surged forward like the tide. In front of Dalun Ruozan and Huoshu Huizang, he was easily defeated by the Tang Dynasty and reprimanded by Gelofeng. Duan Wuzhi's heart was filled with arrogance and anger.
"Kaboom!"
Duan Wuzong's dantian trembled, and the rolling Gang Qi transformed into millions of propitious qi that shot out. Duan Wuzong sat on his divine chariot and raised his long sword. The void behind him changed, and a Buddha holding a medicine basket appeared. Bang bang bang! The void trembled and balls of light shot out from the surroundings of the Son of Buddha. The light changed and turned into a medicinal pestle, a medicinal pot, a medicinal stone, a medicinal bottle, a medicinal vat, and many other kinds of instruments. It was the Medicine King of Erhai legend.
The religion of Erhai's Six Zhao was completely different from that of the Central Plains. Everything had its own system.
The Medicine King was the Medicine God and the God of Strength of Erhai!
Duan Wuzhi cultivated the "Medicine King", and everyone in Mengshe Zhao knew about it.
"Kaboom!"
Duan Wuzhi activated the "Medicine King", and a huge Halo of Thorns surged, with Duan Wuzhi as the center, constantly vibrating and rotating. In an instant, the earth and mountains shook. Duan Wuzhi's robes fluttered, and the hair on his temples fluttered. In an instant, a majestic, storm-like aura exploded from his body.
"Boom, the halo shook lightly, and within a radius of more than ten zhang, all the shield soldiers of the Annam Protectorate had their bones broken, and like kites with their strings cut, they flew in all directions.
"Everyone, advance! — — "
With Duan Wuzhi at the center, and all the White Stone Legion generals supporting him, the entire legion was like a giant spider web, and they rolled toward the summit. Boom, boom, boom. Dust billowed, and screams rang out. Not a single person in the mighty Annan Protectorate army had been able to stop Duan Wuzong.
"Kill! — — "
With Duan Wuzong leading the way, the morale of the Whitestone soldiers soared, all of them shouting as they followed Duan Wuzong up the mountain.
Although Wang Chong had brought a large number of war machines from the capital and had constructed steel walls along the sides of the mountain, these steel walls were only meant for cavalry. They were of little use against infantry, and at the very least, they were of little use against the Whitestone Corps.
Rumble! Like a breaching dam, a gap appeared in the impregnable Tang Dynasty defense line, and under Duan Wuzhi's lead, this gap continued to grow.
"Not bad. Uncle Duan is truly doing his best!"
At the base of the mountain, Crown Prince Fengjiayi watched the battle on the summit, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Behind him, Gelofeng, Duan Gequan, and the others also nodded their heads. 'It's better to provoke the general into action than to invite the general' was one of the most ancient proverbs of the art of war. With Duan Wuzhi personally taking the field, the White Stone Legion's performance was on a completely different level.
"The White Stone Legion truly does have some strength!"
"Although they can't compare to Ouzan's cavalry, they're still an elite force to be reckoned with."
On the other side, Dalun Ruozan and Huoshu Huizang said nothing, but they inwardly nodded in agreement.
Dalun Ruozan and Huoshu Huizang had not witnessed the battle of Erhai, only learning of the result after the battle. In truth, when the news of the defeat of the Annam Protectorate arrived, the two of them had been rather surprised. There was no doubt that the Mengshe Zhao Empire under Gelofeng's rule was completely different from any other time.
The fighting strength they displayed was ample proof of this point.
Roooar! — —
"Kiiiill! — — "
"Follow the general and kill all the Tang people!"
… …
All the soldiers of the White Stone Legion seemed to have been injected with a shot of adrenaline, roaring as they charged up the mountain. On the slope, the Tang Dynasty was in an extremely bad situation. This was different from the first time. The first time, the Tang Dynasty had held out for a very long time before collapsing, but this time, the speed at which the defense line crumbled was much faster than anyone had imagined.
"Hmph, leading the way is a good thing, but the hard is easy to break. A mighty commander of an army should learn to charge into enemy lines before the outcome of the battle is clear and risk danger. This isn't a wise decision! "
On both sides, on the entire mountain, the only person who remained calm and unmoved was Wang Chong.
Duan Wuzhi had led the way, raising the morale and drive of the White Stone Legion. It was an astonishing sight, but in Wang Chong's eyes, it wasn't even worth a glance.
All he has is courage and strength, but no foresight. This Duan Wuzhi can't even be considered a third-rate general!
Wang Chong quietly said to himself.
For a general to personally lead the charge was definitely a strategic necessity, not just because the sovereign above had ordered it or to tear apart a section of the Tang army's battle line. In Wang Chong's view, Duan Wuzhi's grasp of the art of war was probably not even that of an ordinary general.
If the commander-in-chief of an army never moved and always led the charge in every battle, then what difference was there between a general and a soldier?

"Boom!"
Duan Wuzhi's massive charge did not last for very long. Boom! Just when Duan Wuzhi's momentum was at its fiercest, there was a massive boom as Duan Wuzhi's unstoppable charge came to a screeching halt, like a flood meeting a dam, or a gale meeting a steep cliff. In the middle of the vast army, between two lofty steel walls, a stalwart figure stood like a pillar that held up the heavens, blocking Duan Wuzhi's attack and also blocking the path of the White Stone Legion.
A single general, a single black horse, had been able to block Duan Wuzhi's unstoppable momentum.
"Duan! Wu!!! " Every word was squeezed out through clenched teeth.
The sound of gnashing teeth could be heard, and every word was squeezed out from the gaps between his teeth. His red cloak flapping in the wind, the dark-faced general held his saber in front of him. His icy eyes glared viciously at Duan Wuzong, who was charging down the mountain, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"Zhao Wujiang!"
Duan Wuzhi's expression froze when he saw the general who had appeared out of nowhere. But very quickly, a monstrous murderous aura erupted from his body.
"When two armies fight, they each serve their own masters. Zhao Wujiang, don't blame me. Those who stand in my way will die! "
Rumble! The massive ring of light shuddered and exploded with a heaven-shaking rumble. Duan Wuzong's body exploded with a brilliant light, and he swung his longsword. In the air behind him, the Medicine Monarch's eyes narrowed, and countless medicine jars, pestles, and jars … each as heavy as a mountain, bombarded Zhao Wujiang like a storm.
"Boom!"
One of the "medicine jars" brushed past a steel wall that weighed several thousand kilograms, directly tearing it apart and sending it flying.
"Buzz!"
There was a flash of light, and all of the attacking medicinal stones, jars, and jars seemed to hit an invisible wall. They stopped when they were still three or four meters away from Zhao Wujiang, hovering in the air. The destructive medicinal stones, jars, and jars formed from Stellar Energy were completely unable to get within several meters of Zhao Wujiang.
"Traitor! If I had known that you would rebel today, I would have killed you back then! "
Zhao Wujiang's eyes were bloodshot, and they spat out towering flames of fury. "Boom!" A bloody flame flashed, and all of the medicinal stones, jars, and pestles formed from Stellar Energy were incinerated like wildfire, vanishing into nothingness. The bloody flame rebounded and fiercely collided with Duan Wuzhi's Stellar Energy.
"Rumble!" A scorching Essence Qi shot into the sky, accompanied by the rumbling of metal. The Stellar Energy on Zhao Wujiang and Duan Wuzhi's bodies violently collided. In the blink of an eye, the moment the Stellar Energy collided, the two leaped forward. Clang! Saber and sword clashed, the horrifying Stellar Energy flames accompanied by the clashing of the Halo of Thorns instantly causing a violent explosion.
Around the two, both the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and the White Stone Legion had no time to react or dodge. Screams rang out as they were sent flying.
"Kill!" "Kill!"
Behind Zhao Wujiang, the other generals of the Annam Protectorate unsheathed their swords and roared, leading the vast Annam Protectorate soldiers down the mountain. At almost the same time, the generals of the White Stone Legion arrived. In the entire war of the southwest, the two armies with the most similar styles and the deepest grudges were locked in a fierce battle.
"It's enough!"
At the summit of the mountain, Wang Chong slowly withdrew his gaze and looked in another direction.
A battle between two generals would not decide the outcome of a war. The moment Zhao Wujiang appeared and intercepted Duan Wuzhi, the entire war had taken a different direction, the next phase.
"Now it's my turn. Gelofeng, Duan Gequan, this time, your White Stone Legion won't just lose eight-thousand-some soldiers! "
Wang Chong coldly smiled as he gazed at those two unmoving figures at the base of the mountain.
Etiquette would never be able to enlighten an opponent. Only war could leave an indelible mark!
The empire's southwest had already paid a heavy price in the early stages, and now, it was finally time for them to pay the price for their actions. Although Wang Chong's current cultivation level was still not worth mentioning, the art of war had always been a contest of wits.
Gelofeng, Duan Gequan, Fengjiayi, and even Dalun Ruozan and Huoshu Huizang … no matter what glorious pasts these foreign warlords had, no matter what ambitions they had for the Tang Dynasty, Wang Chong would let them know what the might of a War Saint was!
Only the most painful of lessons could make these foreign titans learn to respect the Tang Dynasty!
"Pass on my order! Begin the operation!"
Wang Chong waved his right hand, waving the command flag.
