Chapter 516: Laying Plans! The Battle to Come! (2/2)

”Haha, you'll find out in a little while. Commandant Xu, Bachicheng is dead and Xiangyang Dalu has been exterminated. We've broken through the middle of the Tibetan defense line. All we need to do now is cross the last mountain. Transmit my order: have the two other groups quickly meet up with ours. I want to destroy that last group of Tibetan cavalry today!”

”Yes, Milord! I already informed them a while ago that as long as we succeeded, I would give them a signal. I'm confident that they've already begun to move out.”

Commandant Xu clasped his hands and bowed, his tone and expression both extremely respectful.

After this battle, there was no doubt that Wang Chong had won everyone's complete respect and trust.

Facts spoke louder than words. The deaths of Bachicheng, Xiangyang Dalu, and more than ten thousand Tibetans had been achieved with the sacrifice of only two-thousand-some soldiers on their side. Even the most demanding person would cheerfully submit this point, prostrating in worship.

”Mm! Time is short. Commandant Xu, the model?” Wang Chong said.

”Bring the model over!”

Commandant Xu waved his hand down the mountain. Several soldiers quickly ran over, carrying a large iron chest between them. Inside the box was a complete topographical model of the southwest. There were two items of absolute importance in an army. One was the commander's seal, and the other was a topographical model.

After delivering the model, the soldiers withdrew.

With the deaths of Bachicheng and Xiangyang Dalu, the two most important passes on the model were open, leaving an open field before Wang Chong.

There were no longer any threats on the road south. The gathered forces from the other three areas, the remaining six thousand Tibetans, were no longer anything to fear. Most importantly, this trial had inspired in the reserve troops a confidence when fighting Tibetans.

This was the most crucial point.

”Li Siye!” Wang Chong suddenly said. ”In a little while, when we defeat that Tibetan army, you have to immediately leave. Take the recruited experts and go here.”

Wang Chong pointed at a certain place on the model.

”This…”

Li Siye glanced at this point and was immediately dumbstruck. The place Wang Chong indicated was not any important pass. It wasn't even along the road to the Erhai plains, but in a completely different direction.

”Young Master, this isn't the road to Lion City!” Li Siye said in consternation.

Even though he had been with Wang Chong for some time now, Li Siye couldn't understand why Wang Chong wanted him to go to that place. This was completely different from what he had anticipated.

Wang Chong said nothing, only waved his hand.

Though a little slow to react, Li Siye very quickly leaned in to listen. Wang Chong whispered at his ear for a spell and then patted Li Siye on his muscular shoulder.

”Go then, and prepare well. This matter is even more important than our current mission. The only person at my side who can do this and that I trust is you,” Wang Chong gravely said.

It was far too difficult for one thousand soldiers to alter the course of the war. 'To do a good job, an artisan needs the best tools.' 'The superior general breaks the enemy's schemes while the inferior general schemes against the enemy's soldiers.' Wars were frequently decided not by the strength of the two sides' armies, but in places that ordinary people usually couldn't see.

Rumble!

After readying themselves, the army quickly began to mobilize once more, headed toward the last Tibetan garrison.

Another battle was waiting for them!
