Time seemed to have slowed down countless times at this moment. Countless pairs of eyes followed Duan Wuzhi's figure as he moved in the void. Even Wang Chong, who was standing at the top of the mountain, couldn't help but feel his eyelids twitch.
"Zhao Wujiang …"
A hint of surprise flashed in the depths of Wang Chong's eyes.
Duan Wuzhi was definitely not a weakling. A person who could lead the White Stone Legion to rise suddenly and become one of the strongest legions in Mengshe Zhao, defeating the Annam Protectorate by the Chaotic Sea, and making a name for himself with the Annam Protectorate was definitely not a weakling.
In fact, in the history that Wang Chong knew, Duan Wuzhi was a fierce general of Mengshe Zhao, and his reputation was like the sun in the sky. In fact, he actually surpassed Zhao Wujiang. Wang Chong originally thought that Zhao Wujiang could resist Duan Wuzhi and render him unable to play a role, which was already quite good.
He hadn't expected that Zhao Wujiang would be able to completely block Duan Wuzong and even injure him with a single blow, sending him flying. In terms of strength, he completely overwhelmed Duan Wuzhi.
"Boom!"
Duan Wuzhi's figure fell from the sky and landed heavily on the ground like a cannonball. Where Duan Wuzhi's back landed, the ground instantly collapsed like a spider web. Billowing smoke and dust soared into the sky and instantly covered the ground.
"General!"
"General!"
…
All the soldiers of the White Stone Legion in the surroundings were all pale with fright, and they all swarmed away like clouds. Duan Wuzhi was the soul of the White Stone Legion. For the entire White Stone Legion, if anything happened to Duan Wuzhi, it would definitely be an earth-shattering nightmare.
"The White Stone Legion has lost!"
Wang Chong looked down from above. A cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes when he saw this scene. It wasn't that a general couldn't take the lead and lead the army into battle, but that would be too risky.
If one wanted to set an example for others and take the lead, one must first be unbelievably strong. If they weren't strong enough, like Duan Wuzhi, and something happened to them, then the morale of the army would instantly collapse.
— — A general who took the lead could easily raise the morale of the army, but he could also cause the morale of the army to plummet due to his own mistakes.
Perhaps Duan Wuzhi himself did not realize that the morale of the White Stone Legion had collapsed.
"This is what it means to succeed and fail because of Xiao He!"
Wang Chong held his hands behind his back as he looked at the place where the smoke and dust were rising from the foot of the mountain.
"Morale" was never something illusory. When an ordinary soldier wanted to go all out and fight with you, it was completely different from when he was timid and only wanted to escape.
If it was expressed in terms of morale, then the former was 100%, while the latter had fallen to zero.
On the battlefield, morale was always one of the core factors that determined the victory or defeat of an army.
"Protect the general!"
"You guys lead the general to retreat first. I'll hold them off!"
"Brothers, the general treats us like brothers. No matter what, we can't let anything happen to the general!"
"Soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used in a single moment. The general has treated us well. Now is the time to repay the general!"
…
Rumble. Without waiting for Zhao Wujiang to continue his pursuit, countless soldiers of the White Stone Legion rushed toward Zhao Wujiang without any regard for their lives. No matter how rotten and corrupt an army was, it would never lack loyal and devoted subordinates.
As the commander of the White Stone Legion, Duan Wuzhi had countless elite soldiers under his command, and there was no lack of such subordinates.
Bang, bang, bang!
The huge Halo of Thorns outside Zhao Wujiang's body rumbled, and the surging Stellar Energy shattered mountains, sending the White Stone Legion soldiers flying. Before these White Stone Legion soldiers could even land on the ground, they were already corpses.
But even so, there were still fearless experts rushing over, frantically blocking Zhao Wujiang's path.
"Kill! Kill Duan Wuzhi! "
"Don't run, Duan Wuzhi!"
"Kill these rebels and open the way for General Zhao!"
"Brothers, go! The time for revenge has come. Don't run, Duan Wuzhi! "
…
Duan Wuzhi had many loyal personal guards, and on Zhao Wujiang's side, there were also many capable and brave subordinates. On the hillside, when the elites of the White Stone Legion rushed over, Zhao Wujiang's subordinates also rushed forward to meet them.
Both sides were fearless, and the grudge between Zhao Wujiang and Duan Wuzhi, as well as the hatred between the Annam Protectorate and the White Stone Legion, was enough to make the two groups fight to the death.
Boom, boom, boom!
Wave after wave of energy swept in all directions. The two groups of elites were like a meat grinder, fighting each other. On the other side, a group of core members of the White Stone Legion was shocked to see this scene. They carried Duan Wuzhi and frantically fled down the hill.
Bang, bang!
Zhao Wujiang's Stellar Energy vibrated, sending more than ten waves of White Stone Legion elites flying like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. But in the end, he could not help but sigh.
"What a pity … that bastard Duan Wuzhi is not fated to die in the end!"
Even though the Annam Protectorate also had many experts, Zhao Wujiang was still one step behind. The White Stone Legion's frenzied interception finally allowed Duan Wuzhi to escape.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly! "
With Duan Wuzhi's defeat, the Annam Protectorate's momentum rose, and the White Stone Legion collapsed like a landslide. This was even more severe!
Unlike the previous time, the White Stone Legion was truly defeated this time!
"Humph, want to leave? Do you think it's that easy? "
At the peak of the mountain, the wind was howling. Wang Chong stood at the top of the mountain, overseeing the entire situation. His eyes were on all sides, and his ears were on all sides. How could he let them retreat so easily? With a wave of his hand, the entire battlefield changed. Countless Annam Protectorate soldiers covered the sky and the earth, and once again, the two sides were entangled.
"When the enemy advances, I retreat. When the enemy retreats, I advance. When the enemy attacks, I defend. When the enemy defends, I attack." Wang Chong was only using some simple military tactics, but it was enough to make the complacent and ambitious White Stone Legion play around in the palm of his hand!
"Kill! — — "
Countless Annam Protectorate soldiers covered the sky and the earth, howling as they charged down from the mountain. The long-term training of the Annam Protectorate revealed itself at this moment. Even in the midst of sprinting and charging, the Annam Protectorate soldiers still maintained a tight formation and tacit cooperation.
Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand …
Layer by layer, the White Stone Legion soldiers kept slowing down as they were pinned down by the Annam Protectorate at the back. Like folding a paper fan, under the strategy of the Annam Protectorate, the number of White Stone Legion soldiers who were pinned down and unable to escape increased from ten thousand to twenty thousand, twenty thousand to thirty thousand, and finally reached more than forty thousand.
As long as the White Stone Legion dared to not resist and blindly escape, then these people would all be killed, and they would die very quickly.
— — Selling your back to the enemy, there was no faster way to die than this!
However, if the White Stone Legion turned around to resist, they would once again fall into Wang Chong's rhythm of "When the enemy advances, I retreat. When the enemy retreats, I advance. When the enemy attacks, I defend. When the enemy defends, I attack." This was another kind of slow death.
And in the end, the number of casualties would only increase!
"Congratulations to user for killing thirty thousand soldiers of the Mengshe Zhao army!"
The Stone of Destiny's familiar voice once more resounded in his mind. As Wang Chong looked down the mountain, a fierce light flitted through his eyes.
"We'll die if we advance, and we'll die if we retreat! Now, it's up to you to choose!
As this thought flitted through Wang Chong's mind, he stood motionless on the summit, his face cold and aloof. It was like he was standing in a different dimension.
The choice was now in the hands of the Mengshe Zhao – Ü-Tsang army!
"Jiao Serro, it's your turn!"
At the base of the mountain, Dalun Ruozan suddenly spoke in Ouzan.
"This …"
Jiao Serro hesitated for a moment and subconsciously turned his head to look at General Huoshu Huizang. Although the highest leader of the Ouzan Ngari Royal Lineage was Prime Minister Dalun Ruozan, the real military commander was General Huoshu Huizang.
Moreover, although everyone knew that the Prime Minister was very intelligent, that was only in terms of strategy. In terms of actual military strategy and command, the Prime Minister was actually not that experienced.
"Didn't you hear what the Prime Minister said? Go! "
Huoshu Huizang said lightly and waved his hand, his face expressionless.
"Yes, I'll go now!"
Jiao Serro made up his mind. He quickly bowed and turned to leave.
"Wait! Break through from the northeast corner! "
Huoshu Huizang suddenly stopped Jiao Serro.
"Yes, Milord!"
Jiao Serro was greatly encouraged and his footsteps quickened.
"The Prime Minister is worried about Mengshe Zhao?"
Once Jiao Serro had left, Huoshu Huizang suddenly turned to Dalun Ruozan, still speaking in Ouzan as if no one else was present. Only he knew that what Dalun Ruozan had said just now was not an order, but a statement of his attitude. An attitude that indicated that the Ouzan Alliance should take action.
"Yes!"
Dalun Ruozan nodded, a hint of worry in his eyes.
"That brat is probably even more formidable than we imagined. If Mengshe Zhao's forces are defeated too badly and suffer too many casualties, it will be disadvantageous to us. Morale is a very subtle thing. In addition, although Gelofeng hasn't said anything, if we ignore him, he will probably hold a grudge against us in the future! This won't be very good for the Mengshe – Ü-Tsang alliance. After all, we will need their help in many areas in the future. "
"Since that's the case, let's just make our move."
Huoshu Huizang indifferently said, his face unperturbed.
"Huoshu, you've been in the army for much longer than I have. I heard that before you were made a general, you served under the command of the White Buddha Great General. Other than Zhangchou Jianqiong, you should have interacted with other generals of the Central Plains. Tell me the truth, have you ever seen such a strange way of fighting before? "
Wang Chong's tactics were extremely bizarre. They were repeated over and over again, like maggots in the bone. You retreated and I advanced, you advanced and I retreated. His every move could be clearly seen by those outside. Even the White Stone Legion knew what he would do next, but they still fell for his tricks.
Most frightening of all was that Duan Wuzhi's White Stone Legion could not retreat even if they wanted to. If Ouzan's men did not intervene, the White Stone Legion would not have suffered forty or fifty thousand casualties, but a complete wipeout.
Most people probably didn't realize this, not even Geluofeng!
"No!"
A ripple finally appeared on Huoshu Huizang's calm face, followed by a long silence.
After being locked in a stalemate with the Tiger of the Tang Dynasty, Zhangchou Jianqiong, for decades, Huoshu Huizang was already an existence in the southwest that could shake three empires. And Dalun Ruozan's intelligence was as deep as the sea, an existence that all sides, including Zhangchou Jianqiong, feared.
