But despite his unstoppable momentum, Li Siye did not relax in the slightest. On the contrary, his expression grew even more solemn and nervous.
"Remember! In this night raid against Dalun Ruozan, you can't be the slightest bit careless. Even if you have the cover from the catapults, even if you have the armor of the Ouzan soldiers, and even if you have twenty-some teams to harass and confuse his judgment, given Dalun Ruozan's abilities, you won't be able to delay him for too long. Moreover, the Ouzan and Western Turks still have three Great Generals. So once the time is up, you must immediately retreat without the slightest hesitation! "
As the winds howled around him, Li Siye recalled the words Wang Chong had repeatedly warned him before the operation.
In a battle between experts, every second mattered, and between top-class strategists like Wang Chong and Dalun Ruozan, every second could mean a completely different result. A battle of wits and schemes was different from a battle of martial arts. There was no smoke of gunpowder, no fierce glints of swords, but it was far more dangerous.
In a battle of martial arts, whether one won or lost, the most casualties would be one person, perhaps several dozen or even a hundred. But a battle of wits and schemes would often result in the deaths of thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions. This was something that no martial arts could compare to.
In this battle of wits and schemes, not even a general like Li Siye could interfere. All he could do was faithfully and perfectly carry out Wang Chong's every step and decision.
"Neigh!"
Warhorses neighed as Li Siye led his army through the Ouzan camp. In a few short moments, wave after wave of Ouzan soldiers fell to the iron hooves of the Tang Dynasty. But when the battle was at its most intense, Li Siye glanced at the sky and immediately gave an order.
"Retreat!"
With a loud roar, more than four thousand elites of the Tang Dynasty, as well as more than twenty squads scattered in different parts of the Ouzan camp, seemed to have sensed something in advance. Abruptly, they pulled the reins and rushed towards the second defense line of the Tang Dynasty.
This action was so sudden that the Ouzan people behind them were all dumbstruck, and none of them could say a word.
"After him!!"
A moment later, these people finally reacted and chased after him.
"Cutting Formation!"
However, in the distance, Li Siye and the others seemed to have expected this. With a cutting formation, they turned around and killed all the Ouzan people who were chasing after them. Only then did they continue to retreat to the Tang dynasty's camp.
"Boom!"
Almost not long after Li Siye and the others left, smoke and dust billowed, and an army wearing gold and red armors flew out of the flames.
"Damn it! I was a step too late! "
Huoba Sangye clenched his fists and clenched his teeth as he stared in the direction of the Tang army's retreat. Following Dalun Ruozan's orders, he had done his best to circle around and charge over, but the Tang people had apparently predicted this and retreated first. This made Huoba Sangye feel like he had punched nothing but air, and his heart ached.
"Milord, what do we do?!"
A Mutri Great Horseman asked.
Huoba Sangye said nothing, a pensive look in his eyes. According to Dalun Ruozan's plans, they should have been engaged in fierce battle with the enemy, but there was no doubt that Dalun Ruozan's calculations had been off, and he needed to make a decision for himself.
"Buzz!"
Just as he was deep in thought, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart. Huoba Sangye suddenly turned his head, only to see an enormous aura rapidly approaching from the northwest. Li, before the person had even gotten close, an astonishing howl had already entered everyone's ears like rolling thunder.
"This is … the Celestial Wolf Great General of the Western Turks!"
Huoba Sangye's pupils constricted in recognition. But Duwusili clearly did not notice them. With a howl, he and his horse shot past the Mutri Great Cavalry like a bolt of lightning, vanishing into the darkness.
"Where do you think you're going!"
In the distance, they could still hear Duwusili's furious roar.
"Let's go! Let's pursue him together! "
Huoba Sangye's eyes flashed as he quickly came up with an idea. More than five thousand Mutri Great Iron Cavalry gave chase as fast as lightning.
… …
"General! What do we do! It's the Celestial Wolf Great General of the Western Turks! "
A Wushang horseman suddenly said, a nervous look in his eyes. Duwusili's shout could be heard even from a great distance. More importantly, everyone could sense the powerful storm of energy coming from Duwusili's body, rapidly advancing like a bolt of lightning.
At this speed, it would only take a few moments for Duwusili to catch up. For a top-class Imperial Great General to charge into their ranks would be an unimaginable disaster.
"There's no need to worry!"
Li Siye only smiled, his expression relaxed.
"Marquis predicted all of this. Everyone, proceed according to the plan!"
Before his voice faded away, Li Siye suddenly squeezed the horse's abdomen and accelerated forward.
… …
"Hmph! Do you think you can escape? "
Behind him, Duwusili rode his mighty Turkic steed through the darkness, his eyes blazing with a fierce light. If one looked carefully, one would see that his eyes were bursting with rage.
Duwusili had set off right behind Huoba Sangye, but unlike Huoba Sangye, Duwusili did not need to take a roundabout route. With his Great General strength, he should have been able to get there first, but reality was the complete opposite. When Duwusili emerged from the Ouzan commander's tent, he saw that his camp was ablaze. At some point, Wang Chong's catapult square had targeted his Western Turkic camp, and all sorts of information was being sent to him.
He had even received news that the Ouzan had attacked his camp and that the two sides had even begun to fight.
Although Duwu Sili was in a hurry to deal with the Tang raiding in the night, he could not remain indifferent to this sort of news. But by the time he got there, all the stone catapults had vanished, and all the urgent reports had vanished. All that was left was the news of the conflict between the Western Turks and the Tibetans.
Duwusili immediately felt like he had been made a fool of.
As one of the best Great Generals of the Western Turkic Khaganate, Duwusili had never suffered such a humiliation, which was why he had come out in such a furious manner.
"No matter where you run, only death awaits you!"
Duwusili's killing intent surged into the heavens. To Duwusili, exterminating this Tang dynasty army of four to five thousand was as easy as turning over his hand. But as Duwusili was galloping forward, the four to five thousand Tang dynasty cavalry suddenly scattered like birds and beasts.
“！！！”
Duwusili's heart skipped a beat. He had never imagined that the Tang raiding army would use this sort of method to scatter and flee in every direction. A single target had instantly become several thousand. Even a Great General like Duwusili couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end.
"Damn it!"
Duwusili clenched his fists, his entire body about to go crazy with rage. For a moment, he actually didn't know what to do. But soon, Duwusili's eyes flashed with cold light as he chose a tall figure in front of him.
"I'll kill you first, and then I'll kill the others!"
Duwusili urged his horse forward, locking onto Li Siye. Li Siye's body was far too imposing and muscular, his two-meter-tall frame extremely conspicuous in the darkness. In the battle during the day, Duwusili had already deeply remembered this commander of the Wushang Cavalry. If he could kill this sword-wielding commander of the Tang dynasty, he would definitely deal a massive blow to the Tang dynasty cavalry.
"Die for me!"
With a fierce roar, Duwusili leaped into the air, man and horse using the Celestial Wolf's Divine Procession. From a distance, Duwusili was like a shooting star, pursuing Li Siye with astonishing speed. Even though Li Siye was the commander of the Wushang Cavalry, there was still a massive gap between him and a top-class Imperial Great General like Celestial Wolf Great General Duwusili.
"Boom!"
Before even arriving, Duwusili slashed out with his hand, unleashing a magnificent Sword Qi more than one hundred feet long. Even Li Siye paled in comparison to the power of this attack.
"Not good!"
As Li Siye rode on his Ferghana horse, he sensed the sharp and fierce energy behind him, and his heart sank. At this moment, Li Siye suddenly sensed an intense aura of death. He had been galloping as fast as he could, but he hadn't expected Duwusili to be even more brilliant than he had expected. The sharpness and speed of this attack made it impossible for him to dodge.
However, right when Li Siye was overwhelmed with shock and closed his eyes to await his death, a faint voice suddenly resounded in the night sky, and it revealed a mocking tone.
"Celestial Wolf Great General, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
An enormous energy erupted from nowhere, and before Li Siye could react, a terrifying Sword Qi at the peak of the Saint Martial realm swept past Li Siye and collided with Duwusili.
Rumble!
There was a heaven-shaking boom as endless rays of light and Sword Qi swept through the surroundings, accompanied by fierce gales. Two supreme Great Generals had collided in the wilderness, and even Li Siye couldn't help but be alarmed by this terrifying collision.
Gao Xianzhi!
A thought flitted through Li Siye's mind. In the entire northwest of the Tang Dynasty, the only person who could single-handedly contend against a Great General like Duwusili was probably Gao Xianzhi.
"Damn it! It's you! "
