”Lord Protector-General, do you require my assistance?”
As the Wushang Cavalry and the Celestial Wolf Cavalry battled, a dignified voice rang out in Wang Chong's ears. The Vice Protector-General of the Anxi Protectorate army, Cheng Qianli, rode over to stand next to Wang Chong and look toward that distant battle.
This clash of elite cavalry had garnered the attention of many people, including the soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate army.
”The general that Duwu Sili has commanding this force of cavalry should be someone called Shamask. I have a little understanding of him. This person has the cultivation level of a Brigadier General, and your general alone might not have the strength to defeat him. If it is required, I can go and help your Wushang Cavalry.”
”General Cheng, my thanks.”
Wang Chong finally turned his head, a smile on his lips, but the refusal in his eyes was loud and clear.
”But that will not be necessary. The battle has already begun, and even if you were to set off now, you would still arrive too late. Besides, I believe in Li Siye's strength. No one on the battlefield can kill him.”
Fights between experts were decided in seconds. Cheng Qianli had no understanding of the Wushang Cavalry or how they fought, but Wang Chong could clearly see that this battle was on the verge of being decided. Moreover, the Arab attacks on the first defense line were intensifying, and Wang Chong needed a Brigadier General like Cheng Qianli to go to its aid at any moment.
As for Li Siye…
Wang Chong had unwavering confidence in this future Invincible Great General. As a future elite Great General of the Great Tang, Li Siye could not possibly die in this level of battle!
”Xue Qianjun, go and get ready.”
Wang Chong quickly turned his eyes back to the battle.
”Yes, Lord Marquis!”
Xue Qianjun swiftly withdrew.
In the distance, the battle between Li Siye and Shamask had reached a critical juncture.
Rumble! The thundering hooves stirred up great clouds of dust as Shamask's order took effect, the thousands of Celestial Wolf Cavalry rushing in from all sides, pushing the Wushang Cavalry out of the area and obstructing their charges. But Shamask had underestimated the power of the Wushang Cavalry.
The Ten Charges Ten Victories Formation was the work of countless people, the crystallization of their efforts and intelligence, and it was hailed as one of the ten strongest formations. This was a supreme cavalry charge formation, and it considered not only the en masse charge of an army, but also local battles and fights between generals.
All circumstances were taken into account, and no matter what plan the opponent executed, the formation would have a corresponding variation.
Shamask doggedly pursued Li Siye, keeping close to him in the hopes that this would allow him to avoid any hidden dangers. But such a method was completely useless against the Cutting Formation. Meanwhile, the Wushang Cavalry did not charge off as far as they normally did with this tactic. After getting around fifty zhang away, they immediately began to charge back at full speed, rapidly closing like a metal claw around Shamask.
At this time, the energies of Li Siye, Huang Botian, Kong Zi-an, Hong Youqi, and one hundred other people fused together into an enormous black-skinned Skanda which immediately launched a furious assault at Shamask.
”Kill!”
Li Siye furiously roared, the heavens seeming to explode. In a manner that defied common sense and the principle of inertia, Li Siye suddenly turned around to face Shamask while maintaining the same speed.
”Mountain River Cyclic Slash!”
He grasped his sword with both hands, fused together with his horse, and leaped into the air, where they spun in a circle before slashing down at Shamask. Boom! A black storm ravaged the area, and in the middle of this storm, a majestic ray of Sword Qi more than seventy zhang tall slashed down.
The Skanda Halo allowed Li Siye to gather the strength of many people, and the supreme Mountain River Cyclic Slash displayed a completely different level of power.
”Stone General Battles the Heavens!”
Almost simultaneously, to Li Siye's right, Huang Botian used the Stone General's most powerful move. The earth split open and countless massive rocks flew out, gathering around Huang Botian into a massive stone arm thirty-some zhang long that immediately punched at Shamask with a thunderous momentum.
”Quaking Earth Dragon!”
”Devil-Weeping Cloud Waves!”
