"Ready!"
With a roar, Wang Chong finally released the Halo of Dusk Stallion in his body. There was a metallic clattering as a black halo with sharp edges and a dark red tint emerged from Wang Chong's feet and spread to all the Wushang cavalry.
Bolstered by the Halo of Dusk Stallion, the already powerful Wushang cavalry instantly swelled in strength, speed, and dexterity.
But it was far from over. In the blink of an eye, a second Halo of Dusk Stallion descended from Wang Chong's body and spread to the entire army, and then a third!
After returning from the southwest, Wang Chong's Halo of Dusk Stallion had also expanded, going from the True Martial realm to the Imperial Martial realm, and the one halo had also increased to three.
The three Halos of Dusk Stallion boosted the strength of all the Wushang cavalry to an inconceivable level. Most frightening of all was that under the effects of the Halo of Dusk Stallion, the five thousand top-quality Turkic warhorses seemed to break through some sort of barrier. They seemed to be flying, leaving behind afterimages in the air.
If the speed of an ordinary warhorse was taken as an example, then the Wushang cavalry had already reached twice the speed of an ordinary warhorse.
"Ah!"
As if sensing the change in the Wushang cavalry, the Ouzan army began to cry out in alarm.
"What's going on?!"
"They're so fast!"
"Just how did these Tang people do it? How can they have such fast horses? "
… …
The highland steeds of the Ouzan had grown up on the plateau and had sturdy bodies, incredible endurance, and terrifying charging speeds. This was also the reason why the Ouzan could challenge the Tang Dynasty and even intimidate the kingdoms of the Western Regions.
To the Ouzan, the highland steed was one of the best warhorses in the world. But the Tang people clearly did not raise warhorses, nor did they have any pastures, yet their warhorses were much faster.
"Get ready!"
Just when Ouzan's troops were in a slight state of chaos, a dignified, calm, and sonorous voice resounded through the sky. At this time, the only person who could maintain his calm was the general in charge of Zhangzhung Recruit Training Camp, Dayan Pugyal.
His expression was calm, and there was not the slightest fluctuation on his steel-like face. From the beginning to the end, his gaze was locked onto Wang Chong.
As the general in charge of Zhangzhung Recruit Training Camp, Dayan Pugyal had a thorough understanding of the military system of the surrounding kingdoms, including that of the Tang dynasty. The young man riding on a Turkic warhorse in the center was clearly the commander of the entire Tang people's army.
In Dayan Pugyal's memories, there had never been such a young cavalry general in the Longxi region. But in Dayan Pugyal's memories, there was someone else who could match this young man. But at this moment, it didn't matter who the other party was.
"Echelon Formation, charge!"
Dayan Pugyal rode his red warhorse in the middle of the army. With a wave of his sword, the twenty-seven thousand-some Tibetan cavalry began to transform.
There was no obvious change in the speed of the vast army, but they quickly separated into layers and layers, and quickly gathered towards the center. In the blink of an eye, all the cavalry in the training camp had used the Ouzan's famed Echelon Formation.
Eight hundred zhang, seven hundred zhang, six hundred zhang …
As they got closer and closer, the killing intent grew thicker and thicker. On the flat plateau, both the Ouzan and the Wushang cavalry could see the armor worn by their foes, and they could even see the breaths exhaled by their foes.
Five hundred zhang, four hundred zhang, three hundred zhang …
The atmosphere grew tenser and tenser, and everyone's blood seemed to freeze as they stared at their foes.
Two hundred zhang, one hundred zhang, fifty zhang!
"Kill!"
All the soldiers, whether they were Ouzan or Wushang cavalry, raised their sabers and swords and let out heaven-shaking roars.
At this moment, the tension in the air had reached its peak. To the Ouzan and Wushang cavalry, fifty zhang was just a few seconds away.
The distance continued to shrink. Three hundred zhang, two hundred zhang, one hundred zhang …
"Boom!"
With an earth-shattering boom, the five thousand Wushang Tang people cavalry and the twenty-seven thousand Ouzan Echelon Formation collided like two massive beasts.
In an instant, the cries of warhorses, the clashing of sabers and swords, and the screams of soldiers from both sides mixed into one.
Unexpectedly, the fierce and courageous Ouzan army only lasted for a few moments before the five thousand Wushang cavalry instantly pierced through the first echelon formation.
All the Ouzan cavalry standing in the way of the army fell, their riders cleaved in two, their flesh and blood flying. On this plateau far from the Central Plains, Wang Chong's five thousand Wushang cavalry displayed their overwhelming strength for the first time.
Many Ouzan cavalry didn't even get close before they were cleaved in two by the peerlessly sharp Halo of Dusk Stallion, all of them dead.
"Don't panic! Hold your ground!"
"Charge from the sides!"
… …
The panicked shouts of the Ouzan officers resounded over the battlefield, but before they could adjust their tactics, the five thousand Wushang cavalry had already pierced through the second echelon formation, and then the third, the fourth …
In front of Wang Chong's Wushang cavalry, the attacks and defenses of the Ouzan soldiers were like pieces of paper. All the Ouzan cavalry couldn't even stop Wang Chong's army for a moment.
The Neigh was in complete disarray, and in a few short moments, the Ouzan had suffered astonishing losses. Three thousand, four thousand, five thousand …
"How could this be? How could they have such a powerful fighting force! "
At this moment, even Dayan Pugyal paled.
The Ouzan were renowned throughout the world for their fighting prowess, and there had never been an army like the Tang people's cavalry, which possessed such terrifying strength.
The Echelon Formation came in wave after wave. In the past, even when facing opponents stronger than the Wushang soldiers, the Echelon Formation was able to block their charge until their speed dropped to zero.
In this kind of wilderness, without speed, cavalry would only be a dead end. But even after piercing ten-some echelon formations, the Tang Dynasty cavalry showed no signs of slowing down.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ah!"
If one looked down from the sky, one could see that the twenty-seven thousand Ouzan soldiers had been completely pierced through by Wang Chong's cavalry.
"Cutting Formation!"
The moment the five thousand Wushang cavalry pierced through the Ouzan army, Wang Chong raised his sword and issued another order. Boom! The five thousand soldiers made a sharp turn at an extremely high speed, but their speed didn't change in the slightest.
Gallop!
With the galloping of hooves, the five thousand cavalry suddenly adopted a completely different strategy. In the blink of an eye, the army suddenly broke up into smaller groups that intersected with each other like nooses, slashing at the Tibetan army on either side of them.
The three Halos of Dusk Stallion boosted the five thousand Wushang cavalry to an astonishing speed. In just a few seconds, Wang Chong's five thousand cavalry had once more caught up to the Ouzan army.
These Ouzan soldiers had originally been charging at Wang Chong's forces, but now, due to the inertia of their high-speed charge, they were being chased by Wang Chong and attacked from the rear, instantly throwing the army into chaos.
Rumble! Countless warhorses howled as they toppled to the ground. Wang Chong's group was much faster than them.
"Ah! Careful, they're coming from the rear! "
"Run, run!"
"Just what sort of army is this?"
"How could there be cavalry this fast?"
… …
All the Ouzan soldiers were stunned by the Tang people's army. In their minds, cavalry, no matter how fast, had a limit, but this Tang people's army had completely shattered their understanding.
No army had ever been like them, charging at high speed, piercing through the enemy's formation and then turning around to catch up. It was like they were completely unaffected by the inertia of the high-speed charge.
This completely overturned their understanding of cavalry.
Run!
This was the only thought in the minds of the Ouzan cavalry. Rumble!
Rumble! The rear of the Ouzan army was in chaos, but this was just the beginning. Sharp blades cut through flesh and blood. Wang Chong's five thousand cavalry were divided into one hundred squads, and like one hundred nooses, they crisscrossed and charged at high speed.
Even plate armor could not withstand such great power. Although the outside was undamaged, the internal organs inside were already shattered.
The power of cavalry, the power of the warhorses' high-speed charge, and the power of the halos, when these three powers were combined, it was not something ordinary people could imagine.
In this aspect, the Wushang cavalry was completely overwhelming.
Six thousand, seven thousand, eight thousand! … …
Under the charge of Wang Chong's five thousand cavalry, the Ouzan army was completely routed. Not even five minutes had passed since the start of the battle, but more than eight thousand of the twenty-seven thousand Ouzan soldiers had already been killed, and this number was still rapidly growing.
At this moment, all the Ouzan soldiers had fear in their eyes. The number of casualties was simply too astonishing. The strength of the Tang people's army had completely surpassed their imaginations.
"Bastard!"
One-hundred-some zhang from the Ouzan formation, Dayan Pugyal was trembling, his eyes red. In the first clash, he had believed that he could use his enormous numbers and the charge of the Echelon Formation to block the enemy and then flank the five thousand Tang people.
