Chapter 918: Huoba Sangye! (1/2)

The Mutri Great Cavalry was much stronger than the White Braves or the Celestial Wolf Cavalry, and it was much more valiant as well, but the current Wushang Cavalry was also on a completely different level. If the Wushang Cavalry had had their current equipment at the battle of the triangular gap, the White Braves wouldn't have been a problem at all, even with the Heart of the Great Bon.

Bzzt! Following Li Siye's order, the five thousand Wushang Cavalry kicked up a cloud of dust as they turned around and charged back at the Mutri Great Cavalry. This time, however, they had their backs to the morning sun and experienced a completely different situation. While the seven thousand Mutri Great Cavalry still had that dazzling red radiance about them, it was no longer so blinding that the Wushang Cavalry couldn't even open their eyes.

In addition, with the sunlight behind them, they could clearly make out each one of the Mutri Great Cavalry in the red light.

Bang!

The Wushang Cavalry were galvanized by this sight and let out an earth-shaking roar of elation.

”Kiiill!”

Armor rattled and horses neighed as the Wushang Cavalry once more entered the fray.

”Kill them!”

At the same time, Huoba Sangye bellowed, his eyes red and glowing with a savage light. His Mutri Great Cavalry made no attempts to run or evade, also turning to charge at Li Siye's men. In that exchange just now, Huoba Sangye had grasped the strength of the Wushang Cavalry.

This force of Tang cavalry truly was fierce and agile, but not to an unstoppable level.

Meanwhile, in a place that no one was paying attention, Chekun Benba unsheathed his sword and rode forth on his stalwart Turkic steed. ”All soldiers, assemble! Work with the Tibetans and kill them!”

The Great Scarlet Sun Formation of the Mutri Great Cavalry had been weakened, its radiance dimming. This was not just a boon for the Wushang Cavalry. It also provided an opportunity for the defeated Celestial Wolf Cavalry to assist the Mutri Great Cavalry.

This force of Tang cavalry was truly too powerful. If they had not seen it for themselves, they would have never believed that the infantry country that was the Great Tang would also possess such powerful cavalry. The primarily nomadic countries of the Western Turkic Khaganate and the Ü-Tsang Empire were finding it nearly impossible to defeat them, so the best solution right now was to work together.

Rumble! The Celestial Wolf Cavalry gathered together and charged forward under Chekun Benba's command, raising the curtain on a chaotic battle.

……

”Pass on my order. Execute the plan!”

While these three elite cavalry forces were drawing the attention of everyone else on the battlefield, behind the second line of defense, Wang Chong slowly looked away and swung down his hand. The outcome of this battle would still need some time to decide, making this a perfect time to begin his plan.

Bong!

War drums suddenly began to thunder from the eastern side of the battlefield, tinged with a metallic timbre. This sudden drumming instantly attracted everyone's attention. On the hills beneath the tall white yak banner of the Ngari Royal Lineage, Dalun Ruozan almost instinctively looked to see what was happening.

Wang Chong, mounted on the White-hoofed Shadow, locked eyes with Dalun Ruozan across the battlefield and gave him a profound smile.

Buzz! Dalun Ruozan's eyes widened at the sight of this smile, immediately sensing an ill foreboding. He and Wang Chong had exchanged so many blows in the southwest that he had a deep understanding of this seventeen-year-old. He would never do anything without reason or objective.

But Dalun Ruozan currently had no idea what had gone wrong or what Wang Chong's smile meant.

”Attack!”

Putting aside Dalun Ruozan, Wang Chong pointed his Wootz Steel sword forward and then swung it down in the direction of the tens of thousands of Tibetan and Turkic cavalry. In the next moment, the tens of thousands of Tang soldiers defending the second defense line suddenly surged forward like a landslide.

Even Xu Keyi's ballista soldiers left the line, advancing east under the protection of heavily-equipped shieldmen.

Twangtwangtwang!

The long black ballista bolts howled through the battlefield, leaving behind trails of death in the air as they shot toward the Tibetan and Turkic cavalry. Squelchsquelchsquelch! As the bolts pierced through them, throngs of Tibetan and Turkic cavalry were cut down like weeds, their corpses dropping into the dust.

”Kill!”
