The world was quiet. Whether it was the tens of thousands of Hu soldiers or the five thousand Wushang cavalry led by Wang Chong, all of them were silent. But the atmosphere between the two armies was only getting more and more tense. Li Siye, Xu Keyi, Cheng Sanyuan, Su Shixuan, and the others all had angry expressions on their faces at Dou Li's words, but no one said a word.
All of them were looking in the same direction, at a single person.
"Guduli."
A voice suddenly rang out in front of the two armies. Wang Chong stroked the reins of his horse, a faint smile on his face as he slowly rode out of the army. He examined the Hu generals lined up fifty-some zhang away, an amused look in his eyes.
"Defying a military order, defying a holy decree — you should know the result. Dismiss the army, put down your weapons, kneel, and beg for mercy, and I can spare your life. Otherwise, kill! No! Edict! "
"Bastard!"
"Impudent!"
"Foul brat, who do you think you are! You have no right to speak here! "
… …
Before Guduli could say anything, the other Hu generals immediately began to curse.
Guduli couldn't help but smirk at this sight. In this period of time, he had complete control over the Qixi Protectorate. Without his orders, even if Wang Chong obtained the decree of the Holy Emperor and became Qixi Protector-General, it would still be useless.
"Enough!"
Guduli extended an arm to stop them. He slightly raised his head and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Wang Chong on horseback.
"Brat, you're too arrogant. You're not even Qixi Protector-General yet, but you're already giving orders! Let me tell you, in Qixi, only one person's words are useful. In the past, it was Lord Fomonlința. Lord Fucha Lingcha was pulled down by you, but someone else took his place. But no matter who it is, there's one thing I can be sure of: he is a Hu, not you! Even if you have the decree of the Imperial Court, it's useless here! Use it! "
Guduli made a gesture at the last two words.
"Roar!"
In an instant, following Guduli's gesture, the 20,000 soldiers roared in unison, letting out an earth-shattering roar. In that instant, all the birds in the mountains flew away, all the people in the paths disappeared, and the entire earth buzzed and trembled amidst this shocking roar. Buzz! Upon seeing this, Xu Keyi, Su Shixuan, Cheng Sanyuan, and Zhang Que all grimaced.
With just this roar, the 20,000 Hu soldiers were forged into a steel plate. This scene alone made it extremely difficult for Wang Chong to ascend to the position of Qixi Protector-General.
Guduli's control over these Hu soldiers was even greater than they had imagined.
"Marquis, do we need to take action?"
Li Siye was the only one who remained calm and collected. He looked ahead without any expression.
"There's no hurry."
Wang Chong smiled and stopped Li Siye. No matter what Gudu Li's intentions were, this move of his was meaningless to him. But Wang Chong was in no hurry. He turned his gaze to the other Hu generals at Guduli's side.
"Guduli plotted a rebellion and committed an unforgivable crime. What about the rest of you? Do you want to go with him? "
"Buzz!"
Under Wang Chong's gaze, the Hu generals at Guduli's side felt their hearts clench. 'A man's name is like a tree's shadow.' Although Wang Chong was young, he was an illustrious figure in the Western Regions, like the sun at high noon. At the battle of the triangular gap, tens of thousands of Ouzan soldiers had died in battle. Even a Great General like Dusong Mangpoje had been forced to flee, and Dayan Mangpoje had even died.
Later on, the death of the Black Wolf Yabgu had pushed Wang Chong's reputation to the peak.
In Qixi, Wang Chong's reputation was no different from that of the god of death. Although they said that they weren't afraid, they were inwardly very apprehensive. However, when they saw Gudu Li in front of them, their gazes slowly became resolute.
"Foul brat, don't try to drive a wedge between us. When did we start a rebellion?"
"I advise you to leave as soon as possible. The position of Qixi Protector-General isn't so easy to sit on!"
"It looks to me like you're the one plotting a rebellion. If you don't leave now, don't blame us for being merciless!"
… …
The Hu soldiers angrily glared at Wang Chong, not willing to back down.
"Hahaha, do you see? You've wasted your efforts! "
Gudu Li looked at his opponent with a smug expression.
"I'll count to six. If you don't retreat by then, I'll immediately attack, and you'll have to bear the consequences!"
The main force of the Qixi Protectorate was the Hu. If the Qixi Protectorate suffered grievous casualties when he attacked, Wang Chong would immediately be removed from his position as Qixi Protector-General. And if Wang Chong didn't fight back, the soldiers he had brought with him would suffer grievous casualties. Whether Wang Chong attacked or not, he was doomed to lose this battle.
As long as one could not obtain the recognition of these Hu generals, anyone the Imperial Court sent would be useless. This was what Guduli was relying on the most.
"One!"
Guduli raised a finger, a smug look on his face.
"Two!
"Three!"
… …
Guduli raised his fingers one by one, brimming with confidence, as if he had already defeated Wang Chong. So what if he was the Young Marquis? So what if he was the Son of Heaven's disciple? In the Qixi Protectorate, only he, Guduli, had the final say.
"There's no need to go to so much trouble."
Wang Chong slowly urged his horse forward, a smirk on his face.
"I can answer you right now. Guduli, you're already dead!"
The final word 'dead' was like a peal of thunder in everyone's ears. Guduli's heart skipped a beat and his face paled. But what shocked him the most was Wang Chong's next reaction. From start to finish, Wang Chong had always had a faint smile on his lips, but at this moment, his expression turned cruel and callous. At the same time, he raised his right hand and swung it down.
"Attack!"
The cold voice resounded in everyone's ears, and a moment later, the five thousand Wushang Cavalry, who had restrained their auras, suddenly exploded with a storm of energy. In that instant, it was earth-shattering and earth-shattering!
This bastard! He really dares!
Guduli's face was ghastly pale, and this was the only thought in his mind. If the twenty thousand Hu cavalry of Qixi suffered grievous casualties from internal strife, Wang Chong wouldn't even be able to last through the night and would soon be thrown into prison. It was precisely because he had grasped this point that Guduli had dared to so brazenly oppose the Imperial Court.
But he had never imagined that Wang Chong would be even more brazen than he was. He hadn't even thought about it before giving the order to attack.
When a person lost their greatest support, Gudu Li's feelings were no different from those of other people. They were flustered and uneasy.
Bastard! You'll regret this!
This thought flashed through Guduli's mind, and he immediately issued the only order he could.
"Attack!"
Rumble! Warhorses neighed and the twenty thousand cavalry howled, their sabers, swords, and halberds aimed at the Wushang cavalry. But the famed and disciplined Qixi cavalry of the Western Regions were now facing the most frightening foe they had ever encountered. Clangclangclang! A dazzling halo shot out from under the hooves of a Wushang horseman, and then another and another, one after another, shot out from under the feet of the Wushang cavalry with astonishing speed.
"Charge!"
The twenty thousand Qixi cavalry had barely adjusted their weapons when the five thousand Wushang cavalry behind Wang Chong had already charged more than thirty zhang away.
So fast!
At this sight, Guduli and the Hu generals of the Qixi Protectorate were in disarray. They had long ago known that the Wushang cavalry of the City of Steel were formidable, the elite of the elite. But they had not been there at the battle of the triangular gap, nor had they imagined that there would be such terrifying cavalry in the world. From the moment they started to charge, not even a second had passed!
While the twenty thousand Qixi cavalry were still moving at zero speed, Wang Chong's five thousand Wushang cavalry had already reached their peak speed. Under the dazzling halos, these powerful Wushang cavalry were like divine soldiers descending from the heavens.
"Boom!"
Time seemed to stop at that moment. With a heaven-shaking boom, the five thousand Wushang cavalry stabbed into the twenty thousand Qixi cavalry like a sharp knife. The Neigh was thrown into disarray, the soldiers of the Qixi Protectorate and their horses like they were made of paper as they were thrown into the air by Wang Chong's Wushang cavalry.
Not a single one of the Qixi cavalry was a match for them!
"Bastard! Kill him! Kill them all! "
Guduli's furious voice resounded over the army, his teeth clenched so tightly that they were about to shatter. Wang Chong and his five thousand Wushang cavalry were too crazy and too impudent. The laws of the Imperial Court and the laws of the army seemed to have no restraints on them. These bastards were even more arrogant and despotic than he was.
"Kill! The more you kill, the better! You madman, I'd like to see how you deal with this!"
At Gudu Li's side, the other Hu generals were also anxious, issuing order after order as tens of thousands of Qixi cavalry charged in from all sides. But these cavalry could not stop the advance of the five thousand Wushang cavalry. Rumble! Wang Chong's Wushang cavalry charged forward as if they were nothing more than dried twigs. In just a few seconds, they had completely routed the central army that Guduli had gathered.
But in the midst of this fierce battle, not even Guduli noticed that even though countless Qixi cavalry were being cut down like straw by the Wushang cavalry, the majority of them were only heavily injured, with only a few truly dead.
If one looked carefully, one would realize that there was a faint layer of light enveloping all the Wushang cavalry. Rather than saying that the Qixi cavalry had been sent flying by the Wushang cavalry, it was more accurate to say that they had been sent flying by this layer of light.
