"Dayan Mangpoje, we meet again. Did you receive my gift? "
Wang Chong gripped the reins and slowly rode forward, a smirk on his face.
"Buzz!"
Dayan Mangpoje's face instantly darkened, his eyes seething with rage. He naturally understood what Wang Chong was talking about. The 'gift' Wang Chong spoke of was undoubtedly the twenty-seven thousand soldiers of Zhangzhung Training Camp and the Dayan Clan's Dayan Pugyal.
"There's no need to worry. You'll soon receive my 'gift'."
Dayan Mangpoje rode forward and coldly stared at Wang Chong, a savage light in his eyes.
"Hahaha, then I'm truly looking forward to it."
Wang Chong heartily laughed. He wasn't afraid of Dayan Mangpoje attacking, but he was afraid that Dayan Mangpoje wouldn't. After all, he still had the 'threat to Qixi' that he had to deal with. Given Dayan Mangpoje's personality, he would never easily back down from these words.
"That's right, Dayan Mangpoje, besides you, I've also prepared a gift for the Ouzan Empire. Do you see the city behind me? In the future, these cities will be built deep into the Ouzan Plateau, all the way to the Tsenpo's royal capital. I've always admired His Majesty the Tsenpo, so I've built this city beneath the royal capital to express my respect! "
"Impudent!"
Dayan Mangban's eyes chilled at these words, and he flew into a rage. Even in the rear of the army, Dusong Mangpoje couldn't help but frown at these words. Wang Chong's words were clearly a naked threat, and unlike his conflict with Dayan Mangpoje, this was a direct threat to the Tsenpo of the Ouzan Empire.
In the Ouzan Empire, the Tsenpo had a supreme status, the incarnation of a god. Wang Chong's words were something no Ouzan general could tolerate.
"Kid, you're courting death!"
Dayan Mangpoje closed his eyes and took a deep breath. No one had ever dared to be so arrogant and despotic in front of him. All of his previous opponents had trembled in front of him. Even Pulan He's face was full of fear and his whole body was trembling when he died.
Dayan Mangpoje had never been provoked to such an extent.
"… All arrogance has a price to pay. I will definitely trample your corpse under my horse's hooves, cut off your head, and stick it on the edge of the plateau as a warning to others. Let all the Tang people know the consequences of provoking me. "
"Hahaha, I'm different from you. Killing you is just the process, not the goal. In the future, I will drive the entire Ouzan Empire out of Qixi, completely resolving the threat to Qixi. Not only that, I will thrust the banner of the Tang Dynasty into the heart of Ouzan and utterly crush Ouzan. This will also serve as a warning to others, letting everyone know the consequences of making an enemy of the Tang Dynasty. "
Wang Chong heartily laughed.
"Buzz!"
In the rear, Dusong Mangpoje had been completely focused on Fomonlința, but when he heard Wang Chong's words, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.
The distant Fomonlința also couldn't help but raise his brow.
"Milord …"
The eyes of the Qixi Protectorate scouts next to Fomonlința brightened, and they subconsciously turned to Fomonlința. Although they were opponents, even the soldiers of the Qixi Protectorate army couldn't help but feel admiration for Wang Chong's words and view him in a higher light.
"All of you, shut your mouths!"
Fomonlința harshly rebuked, his face extremely gloomy. He naturally knew what his subordinates wanted to say, but the more they did, the crazier his jealousy became, and the heavier his killing intent became.
No matter what, this brat can't be allowed to live.
Fomonlința clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking.
The more outstanding Wang Chong was, the greater the threat he posed to the Hu. No matter what, he could not be allowed to live.
But Fomonlința had no idea that there was someone who wanted to kill Wang Chong more than he did.
If Dayan Mangpoje had only been angry at the start, then when he heard Wang Chong's words, Dayan Mangpoje was about to go mad with rage.
"Wang Chong, if you wanted to anger me, you succeeded. I've changed my mind. I won't let you die so easily. Don't you care a lot about Qixi? I will kill all the soldiers of Qixi one by one and make the Tang Dynasty's Qixi Protectorate a thing of the past. "
Dayan Mangpoje gave an angry laugh, his expression savage.
"Let's go!"
Before he could finish speaking, Dayan Mangpoje turned and left. Behind them, the White Braves followed closely behind as they galloped off into the distance.
"Xu Keyi, pass on my order. All soldiers, get ready. A major battle is about to begin."
Wang Chong narrowed his eyes as he watched Dayan Mangpoje leave.
"Yes, Marquis!"
Xu Keyi quickly turned and left.
"Li Siye, I'm afraid that we really don't have a path of retreat. We must kill Dayan Mangpoje! "
Wang Chong said, looking forward.
"Marquis, give the order. This general will do his utmost."
Li Siye sternly said.
Wang Chong nodded, silently looking in Dayan Mangpoje's direction. Dayan Mangpoje was a madman. Once he set his sights on a target, he would madly attack it.
This was how he had exhausted the soldiers of the Qixi Protectorate. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a mission called 'The Threat to Qixi'.
Dayan Mangpoje's final words had made him recall many things. Wang Chong was now worried that his actions would bring forward Dayan Mangpoje's madness.
There was no way out now. If he wanted to avoid Dayan Mangpoje's madness and prevent the Qixi Protectorate from repeating the same mistakes, he had to kill him here and now.
"Hyah!"
Wang Chong urged his horse to turn around and return to the center of the formation.
… …
On the other side, two thousand zhang away, the neighing of warhorses could be heard. As Dayan Mangpoje returned to his camp, all eyes were focused on Dayan Mangpoje, all of them waiting for Dayan Mangpoje's order.
"Milord, should we attack now?"
An Ouzan general asked, a vicious killing intent in his eyes.
"There's no rush! Without my order, no one is allowed to act rashly. "
To everyone's surprise, Dayan Mangpoje waved his hand and rejected the general's proposal. His eyes were cold, his gaze still fixed on the silver steel walls that resembled fish scales, but there was not the slightest ripple of emotion on his face.
"General …"
The surrounding officers were all dumbfounded. When Dayan Mangpoje had first returned, his face had been frighteningly gloomy. Everyone had believed that he would immediately give the order to attack, but to their surprise, Dayan Mangpoje's reaction was completely different from what they had imagined.
Dayan Mangpoje said nothing, nor did he offer any explanation. His expression was so calm that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
At this moment, the only people who could maintain their composure were the White Braves who had followed Dayan Mangpoje through many campaigns.
"That brat is intentionally provoking Milord. He's seeking his own destruction!"
The White Braves followed Dayan Mangban's gaze to the other side, and they could clearly hear the entire conversation. That Young Marquis of the Tang Dynasty had intentionally stepped forward to provoke Milord. And in truth, he had succeeded. But if he thought that by infuriating Milord, he would have his way, then he was gravely mistaken.
'Crazy' was not the same as' impetuous', much less' stupid '. At least, it was not so in Milord's eyes.
The White Braves had followed Dayan Mangpoje through many campaigns and were extremely familiar with his personality. The angrier and crazier Milord was, the calmer and more rational he was. This was why Milord was called the 'Imperial Brigadier General', the 'Asura of the Plateau', and not the 'Madman of the Plateau'.
"Zeren, have you prepared the things I had you prepare?"
Dayan Mangpoje suddenly said, his eyes still fixed on the other side, his voice extremely calm.
"Milord, they have been prepared. The several dozen tribes in the vicinity of the northern border have all received Milord's summons and set out several hours ago. They should arrive soon. "
A voice in the Ouzan language rang out. Behind Dayan Mangpoje, an Ouzan general of about 31 or 32 years of age, whose cheeks were flushed with the color of the plateau, bowed and said.
"Very good. Wait for my orders."
Dayan Mangpoje said.
"Yes, my lord."
Ze Ren Cheng said.
The surroundings were silent. Although nothing could be seen, an invisible tension was gathering, and the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense. At this moment, everyone was waiting for Dayan Mangpoje's orders.
"Kid, you'll definitely regret what you've done. Only death can wash away your stupidity! "
Dayan Mangpoje's face was ashen, and his eyes flashed with madness.
Dayan Mangpoje knew very well what Wang Chong was doing and why he was doing it. Only an idiot like Buluhu would recklessly charge into those silver walls of steel that were as numerous as the stars in the sky or on a chessboard. The Ouzan cavalry was most formidable in their Echelon Formation, and no empire could compete with the Ouzan in their understanding of the Echelon Formation.
If the formation fell into chaos, what power would it have?
And those steel walls …
Dayan Mangpoje had not forgotten that Dalun Ruozan and Huoshu Huizang had been defeated by these steel walls in the southwest. If Wang Chong thought that he would charge forward recklessly after being enraged, then he was underestimating him too much.
He would indeed attack, but it would not be in the way he imagined it to be.
… …
"Marquis, they still haven't attacked!"
Li Siye suddenly said as he gazed at the triangular gap in front of the army.
"Mm."
Wang Chong nodded and frowned slightly. His expression was solemn.
"This Dayan Mangpoje is more difficult to deal with than we thought. At first, I thought that since he came in a menacing manner and had the advantage in strength, he would launch an attack soon. Now it seems … I'm afraid I've underestimated him. "
When Dayan Mangpoje left, his eyes were terrifyingly gloomy. Even a blind man could see the anger in his eyes. But after such a long time, the enemy's warhorses neighed, but they still didn't make any moves to attack.
"As expected of the 'Threat of Qixi'. Killing him won't be that easy."
