Chapter 783: Fierce Battle! (2/2)
”Heavens, where did Wang Chong find these people! Our Great Tang actually has cavalry who are even better riders than the Turks! If I hadn't seen it for myself, I would have never believed it!”
”This can't be that cavalry force that we saw before! Not even two months! Just how did he do it?”
”This is nothing more than a miracle! One of these cavalry could go against two, no! Can at least fight against three or four of our Qixi Protectorate army warriors, maybe even more!”
The officers of the Qixi Protectorate army, including Heba Ye, were flabbergasted by this battle. And though Fumeng Lingcha said nothing, his eyes were a constantly changing mixture of emotions that no one could interpret.
……
The rear of the Tibetan army was quiet.
”General!” A Tibetan officer turned to Dusong Mangpoje with deep concern in his eyes.
This sort of Great Tang army was definitely no blessing for Ü-Tsang.
”I know…”
Dusong Mangpoje narrowed his eyes. His voice was flat and indifferent, but everyone could feel the killing intent erupting from his narrowed eyes.
Regardless of how Dayan Mangban's battle turned out, this Young Marquis of the Great Tang and the five thousand cavalry he led would all have to die!
”Ready!”
Dusong Mangpoje suddenly raised an arm.
A smile appeared on the Tibetan officer next to him, and he quickly took off.
Meanwhile, the battle in front had already reached a fever pitch.
The Wushang Cavalry had performed far better than expected. White Brave after White Brave was dismounted, the cavalry howling by in clouds of dust, ignoring the fallen White Braves. Meanwhile, another wave of Wushang Cavalry was coming in a deafening clattering of metal.
Clang!
Swords rang out as the second wave of Wushang Cavalry appeared in the terrified eyes of the White Braves. Exuding chilling rays of light, the swords thundered down on the necks of dismounted White Braves. Even the thickest of Tibetan plate armor was useless in areas that it did not cover.
The toughest flesh was still incapable of blocking a sharp sword.
”Aaaaah!”
Just when these dismounted White Braves had prepared themselves for death, bang! A thin white shroud of light covered their necks, blocking the lethal blow.
The strike that contained the combined power of man and horse sent these White Braves flying, but it was not able to behead them.
”!!!”
This event left all the Wushang Cavalry dumbstruck.
”How could this be?!”
A human's flesh could block a sharp sword? This strike delivered while at full gallop was an attack that not even they could block, but these White Braves had done it, and it appeared like their injuries weren't very serious.
This was not a situation that should have appeared in an ordinary battle.
And what was that white layer of light on the necks of those White Braves?
The Wushang Cavalry had no explanation for what had occurred. At least eighty percent of those White Braves who had been able to resist their full-strength attacks had done so because of that white layer of light.
”Hahaha…”
A White Brave began to laugh as he got to his feet. His panicked face was now excited and fearless.
”It's the Great Bon Ritual!”
A white '卍' appeared on his neck, this symbol filled with a unique strength. Kaclack! The energy in the symbol spread throughout his body, causing his muscles to bulge, his bones to strengthen, and his energy to instantly receive a powerful boost.
Bang!
The White Brave punched out and struck a horse of a Wushang Cavalry that had been leaping overhead, sending both horse and rider flying ten-some zhang.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Similar scenes were occurring elsewhere, the White Braves swelling in strength and throwing back the nearby Wushang Cavalry.
The battlefield situation was instantly reversed.
