With these two matters added together, it would no longer be a question of whether he should act or not, but rather leave the Imperial Court with the impression of incompetence. If the Wang Clan and The King of Song used this point to make trouble for him, he might even lose his position as Qixi Protector-General.
When the time came, not even he would have anything to say.
Not only that, it would have been fine if it had been anyone else, but it just had to be Dayan Mangpoje who had killed his subordinate. Although Heba Ye and the others said nothing, Fomonlința could sense that they were all waiting for him to take action and avenge Pulan He and the other Qixi soldiers.
If he did nothing, he would lose the morale of his army, and if things went wrong, he might even be deserted by his own people.
"Pass on my order. The army is to move out and immediately head to this place. However, they are not to enter the battlefield without my order. In addition, no one is to act on their own. Anyone who disobeys will be executed! "
Fomonlința said.
"Yes!"
Heba Ye was overjoyed. He responded and flew away.
On the other side, Fomonlința inwardly sneered as he turned to Wang Chong, his eyes flashing with cold light. No matter how this brat schemed against him, if he really believed that he would help him, he was gravely mistaken.
Dayan Mangpoje had to be killed, and the Qixi Protectorate could not just stand by and watch. However, that would only happen after Wang Chong and his five thousand soldiers had been completely wiped out.
At the very least, he would not act until Wang Chong was dead.
Wang Chong had thought that by choosing the triangular gap as the battlefield, he would be able to draw out the Ouzan Empire's Great General and Brigadier Generals and borrow his strength. That was truly too naive!
He would act, but not in the way that brat imagined!
… …
"Milord, Fomonlința really has appeared!"
At the same time, at the back of the vast Ouzan army, a few figures with powerful auras were also looking towards Fomonlința's direction.
The entire area was filled with Ouzan's scouts. There were green sea eagles, rock eagles, vultures … there was nothing that could escape their eyes.
"Continue to pay attention. As long as Fomonlința doesn't act rashly, it will be enough."
Dusong Mangpoje stroked his mustache, his expression indifferent, exuding the air of someone who had a well-thought-out plan in the palm of his hand.
"Also, keep an eye on the Qixi Protectorate. Tell General Dayan Mangpoje that I'll deal with Fomonlința. "
"Yes, my lord!"
A few messengers received the order and quickly left.
…
Putting aside the movements of Fomonlința and Dusong Mangpoje, Dayan Mangpoje was leading an army of tens of thousands, including five thousand White Braves, toward the triangular gap in the northeast. With Dusong Mangpoje accompanying him, Dayan Mangpoje had no worries about Fomonlința.
All he could see was Wang Chong.
"Bastard! That damn thing! "
Dayan Mangpoje clenched his teeth, his mind seething with killing intent. This immature Tang Dynasty youth had used twenty thousand Elephant Majestic recruits, seven thousand Qinghai soldiers, and the head of Commander Dayan Pugyal to take revenge on him for killing the five thousand Qixi soldiers and Pulan He. Then he had swiftly advanced to the plateau, built a city, and launched an offensive to clear away the factions on the edge of the Ouzan Plateau. His speed and frequency had simply surpassed his imagination.
Dayan Mangpoje had always believed that he was active enough, that he was crazy enough in leading his troops, but he had never imagined that there would be someone even crazier than he was.
Once I break through your army, I'll tear you to pieces to vent the anger in my heart!
Dayan Mangpoje clenched his fists, his mind in a frenzy. Wang Chong was openly provoking him, and Dayan Mangpoje was well aware that Wang Chong was coming for him.
"Stop!"
When he was still twenty-thousand-some zhang from Wang Chong, Dayan Mangpoje raised his right palm and ordered the army to stop. The mighty army of tens of thousands of soldiers suddenly stopped in a tide-like line.
"Zeren, Luosang, Deji, follow me!"
Dayan Mangpoje waved his hand, and several White Braves officers and ten-some elite White Braves galloped toward the triangular gap, toward the silver-white steel walls. Behind the city walls, the towering steel city that was still under construction was extremely eye-catching.
Dayan Mangpoje's expression turned gloomy, his face turning even more unsightly. He had naturally not forgotten that night of siege. Even though he had personally led the two-thousand-some elite White Braves, they had been powerless in front of Wushang's massive City of Steel.
From before the battle to after, the sturdy gates of the City of Steel had never been opened.
Now, Wang Chong was clearly trying to repeat the same trick and bring it to the plateau. Just the thought of this action was enough to infuriate Dayan Mangpoje.
"Interesting. The master has arrived!"
On the high walls, Wang Chong smiled when he saw Dayan Mangpoje and his ten-some subordinates approaching in a cloud of dust.
"Let's go take a look as well."
Descending the walls, Wang Chong mounted his White-hoofed Shadow and led his subordinates toward the front of the formation.
The atmosphere was tense, and the movements of the two commanders quickly attracted everyone's attention.
The galloping of hooves was like a thunderclap as they rapidly approached. Around a hundred zhang from the formation, the neighing of warhorses and a cloud of dust could be heard as Dayan Mangpoje and his ten-some elite White Braves came to a halt a hundred zhang away. The warhorse sneezed and stomped its hooves on the spot.
Dayan Mangpoje sat motionlessly on his Divine Snow Mountain Colt, which was as white as snow but had four blood-red hooves. His cold and sinister gaze swept over the defensive line that Wang Chong had set up in front of the triangular gap, carefully examining each wall, each crack, not letting go of a single detail in an attempt to find the best opening.
During this entire process, Dayan Mangpoje did not make a single sound, but there was an invisible pressure that made one shiver.
"Marquis, is this Dayan Mangpoje?"
A vigorous voice came from behind him. While Dayan Mangpoje was examining Wang Chong, another mountainous figure was also examining him. At the very front of the five thousand Wushang cavalry stood Li Siye and Wang Chong, their gazes cold and aloof.
When Dayan Mangpoje had launched a sneak attack on Wushang, Li Siye had not been in the City of Steel, but in Wushang, training new recruits. But it was precisely because of this that Li Siye immediately felt a deep sense of guilt and self-blame when he returned and heard of this matter. As a guard and Wang Chong's closest follower, not being present at such a crucial moment was a dereliction of duty.
Fortunately, Wang Chong had relied on his own abilities to escape and scare off Dayan Mangpoje. Otherwise, if something had really happened, Li Siye would never be able to forgive himself.
And the best way to make up for this mistake was to kill Dayan Mangpoje and cut off his head.
"Heh, it's him."
Wang Chong chuckled and nodded.
In this period of time, Dayan Mangpoje's aura had grown much more vigorous. It seemed like he had made significant progress in his martial arts. Alas, no matter how much progress he had made, he would die today!
"Li Siye, don't get careless."
Wang Chong indifferently said as he looked into the distance.
"Dayan Mangpoje is an individual on the level of Brigadier General Ouzan, second only to Fomonlința and Dusong Mangpoje. Thus, even though the Qixi Protectorate is right in front of him, he doesn't have any misgivings. In addition, his way of doing things is bold and unconstrained, and he doesn't play his cards according to common sense. He suffered a setback at Wushang, but he wasn't the slightest bit dispirited after his defeat. On the contrary, before he returned, he turned around and attacked the Qixi Protectorate, killing Pulan He. In short, this fellow is extremely difficult to deal with. You must be careful. "
"Your subordinate understands."
Li Siye replied, but his face remained impassive. His eyes had been locked on Dayan Mangpoje this entire time.
The atmosphere was deathly still, the two commanders staring at each other, neither saying a word.
"Interesting!"
Seeing that Dayan Mangpoje was not moving, neither advancing nor retreating, only sitting there on his warhorse with a gloomy expression, Wang Chong inwardly grinned. He lightly squeezed his horse's abdomen and suddenly walked out of the gap between the two walls. This movement instantly attracted the attention of both sides.
Even the distant Fomonlința couldn't help but look over.
"Milord, this brat is quite bold. Isn't he afraid that Dayan Mangpoje will suddenly attack and kill him? After all, that Dayan is a Brigadier General! "
A voice whispered to Fomonlința.
"It's not that he's not afraid, but he doesn't think that Dayan Mangpoje will make a move!"
Fomonlința frowned and said after thinking for a moment.
Although he really hoped that Wang Chong's judgment was wrong and that Dayan Mangpoje would single-handedly charge in and kill Wang Chong, Fomonlința knew that Wang Chong's judgment was most likely correct. It wasn't that Dayan Mangpoje was soft-hearted, but that the second son of the Wang Clan was much more skilled and difficult to deal with than anyone could imagine.
If it was really that easy, Dayan Mangpoje would have already succeeded last time!
"Pay close attention! Tell Heba Ye that once that brat is killed, the army is to attack at any time and immediately retreat. At that time, not only will we be able to shirk all responsibility, but I can also send a memorial to push all the blame onto that brat and the Wang Clan behind him. "
Fomonlința gritted his teeth and said coldly.
"Yes!"
The other general immediately flew off.
Fomonlința nodded, and then he turned his head and continued to look into the distance.
He didn't care if Dayan Mangpoje attacked or not, because Wang Chong's fate had long since been sealed. With his meager forces, even if he were to face Dayan Mangpoje and Dusong Mangpoje, one Brigadier General and one Great General, the only thing awaiting him would be death. Fomonlința couldn't think of any way he could possibly survive such an attack.
"Enjoy it. Youthful arrogance always comes with a price."
A cold light flashed through Fomonlința's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
