”Kill!!”

As Wang Chong had expected, it took only a few moments for Li Siye to sense what Wang Chong was thinking. He turned away, his large and strong palm clasping around his massive sword as his expression hardened. ”Hyah!” Li Siye immediately pushed his horse to go even faster, leading his five thousand Wushang Cavalry in the charge against the Celestial Wolf Cavalry.

……

”Stop!”

At the same time, behind the Celestial Wolf Cavalry, Huoba Sangye suddenly raised his arm and ordered his golden-red-armored Mutri Great Cavalry to halt.

”Milord?!”

This order was so abrupt that the Mutri Great Cavalry officers around Huoba Sangye turned in shock to their commander. Was the Mutri Great Cavalry's task on the battlefield at the moment not to work with the eight thousand Celestial Wolf Cavalry and completely annihilate the Tang army?

”It's too late now. The Turks' Celestial Wolf Cavalry got ahead of us.”

Huoba Sangye's eyes were like blazing suns while his face was solemn and serene.

”Don't forget that in coming to this battle, we have defied the Tsenpo's decree. In defeating the Tang, we Mutri Great Cavalry do not need the help of others!”

”But, Great Minister and the Great Generals hope that we work together with the Celestial Wolf Cavalry to defeat the Tang!” one of Huoba Sangye's deputies urged.

Huoba Sangye looked ahead and emotionlessly asked, ”Does the Celestial Wolf Cavalry appear to need our help at the moment?”

The officers followed his gaze, where the Celestial Wolf Cavalry were charging with an incredible momentum, the Celestial Wolf Illusory Formation bolstering their strength. Even the Mutri Great Cavalry were surprised at their power.

In terms of momentum, the eight thousand Celestial Wolf Cavalry completely dominated the Great Tang's Wushang Cavalry.

The Mutri officers instantly understood, and they seemed a little more at ease.

”Let's wait until the Celestial Wolf Cavalry actually need our help!”

Huoba Sangye's voice rang out in all their ears.

”Yes!”

All his officers replied in unison.

……

From his vantage point on the hills, Huoshu Huicang could see what was happening. Frowning, he stepped forward and whispered into Dalun Ruozan's ear, ”Great Minister, this Huoba Sangye… should we urge him on a little?”

Huoba Sangye was far too proud, as were the Mutri Great Cavalry. At what should have been a time for Ü-Tsang to closely collaborate with the Western Turks , Huoba Sangye had decided to have his Mutri Great Cavalry stop and watch from the rear, completely ruining the mood.

This was also not a good development for the Turko-Tibetan alliance.

”Relax! Huoba Sangye knows what he should do! In addition, Shamask and the Celestial Wolf Cavalry will not like it if someone intervenes at this time,” Dalun Ruozan impassively said, his expression relaxed.

Although Huoba Sangye had stopped, this had little effect on the battle overall. With the Tang surrounded, the trend of the battle was set, and no one could stop it.

”But…”

Huoshu Huicang still wanted to argue otherwise, but then Dalun Ruozan shot a glance past him. Huoshu Huicang subconsciously turned to follow his gaze and saw that nearby, Duwu Sili had his head held high, an apathetic look on his face. As he stood beneath the golden wolf banner with his hands held behind his back, he exuded an aura of pride and disdain.

Huoshu Huicang now understood and fell silent.

Dalun Ruozan was correct. Duwu Sili's Celestial Wolf Cavalry were one of the three greatest cavalry forces of the Western Turkic Khaganate. In terms of battlefield record, Duwu Sili had even defeated the Beiting Protector-General once. Someone of his ability almost certainly had a very high opinion of themselves, so how could he permit outsiders to assist his Celestial Wolf Cavalry?

”It's about ready!”

This sudden voice caused Huoshu Huicang to turn his head back around. The massive golden wolf head in that distant cloud of dust had begun to roar, and the Celestial Wolf Cavalry now seemed unstoppable under the power of their formation, capable of toppling mountains and reversing the seas.

The two sides were getting closer and closer.

In the face of the Celestial Wolf Cavalry, the five thousand Wushang Cavalry seemed like a frail sail boat in the midst of a violent storm, liable to be smashed upon the waves at any moment.

Celestial Wolf! Wushang!

The battle between these two supreme cavalry forces had attracted everyone's attention.
