Bang!
After a few moments of silence, all the panicked cavalry finally realized that Huoba Sangye was not joking. He even dared to kill his own men, much less the Turks. All of them began to shout and scream as they tried to get out of the way.
”All of you get out of my way! Anyone who doesn't, dies!”
Huoba Sangye's callous voice resounded across the skies. As the chief guard of the Ü-Tsang Empire's royal capital, Huoba Sangye could cross a line that Imperial Great Generals like Dusong Mangpoje and Huoshu Huicang could not. These Great Generals could never slaughter their own men.
But the chief guard of the royal capital was different. One of the important duties of the royal guards was to kill rebels, to execute those warriors of the royal lineages who had disloyal thoughts. Over the course of history, the Four Royal Lineages of Ü-Tsang had developed ambitions for the authority of the Tsenpo no small number of times.
For the sake of protecting the Tsenpo and safeguarding the royal authority, the generations of chief guards had killed many Tibetans.
In this aspect, Huoba Sangye was inherently different from Dusong Mangpoje and the others.
Buzz!
Huoba Sangye's tactic quickly became effective. The invisible 'wall' of disorder consisting of Tibetan and Turkic cavalry recoiled to the sides, opening a path for the Mutri Great Cavalry.
”This Huoba Sangye is truly a formidable one!”
In the rear, Li Siye was easily tossing aside Tibetan cavalry with his sword. When he saw what had happened, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, sensing that this was a rather troublesome opponent. Huoba Sangye was far more formidable than he had expected. Though his methods seemed cruel, he had not actually killed that many people.
The effects, however, had been almost immediate, a panicking army of thousands immediately opening a path for him.
But it took only a few moments for Li Siye's eyes to turn cold and his entire body to explode with a desire to fight.
”Everyone, follow me!” He immediately began to urge his Ferghana steed in a charge against Huoba Sangye. The Skanda Halo would remain active for a little longer, and Li Siye was still capable of fighting a battle with Huoba Sangye.
”Go! Everyone follow General Li!”
Huang Botian's call to action resounded over the battlefield.
A valiant and mighty general like Li Siye was precisely the sort of person the martial maniac of Wushang Village admired the most. Boom! With a fist covered in the rocks summoned from the earth, Huang Botian sent two Tibetan soldiers flying and followed Li Siye with his soldiers.
Kong Zi-an and Hong Youqi did the same.
The Mutri Great Cavalry were a terrifying fighting force, and if they were to reach the regular Tang cavalry, Sun Zhiming and the others were certain to suffer grievous casualties. Only the Wushang Cavalry were capable of dealing with them.
”There's no need. Li Siye, Huang Botian, Kong Zi-an, all three of you withdraw!”
As the three of them were making ready to do battle with the Mutri Great Cavalry, a calm and familiar voice resounded in their ears. At the same time, they all heard a galloping sound that was different from the rest. It was graceful, yet vigorous, relaxed, and yet rhythmic, and the time between the hooves hitting the ground was rather long.
This long gap in time meant that this warhorse was covering an extremely large distance with each stride. This was definitely no ordinary warhorse.
Hwoom!
In a gust of wind, a young, determined, and dignified figure, mounted upon a warhorse with hooves of pure white, galloped past them, catching up to Li Siye.
”Lord Marquis!!”
Li Siye, Huang Botian, Kong Zi-an, and all the others immediately recognized this person.
”Leave this Huoba Sangye to me! You go and deal with the others!”
Wang Chong's voice was relaxed and confident as it echoed in their ears. Before they could react, however, Wang Chong had already galloped ahead. All of them could only see his lean and slender back, yet it seemed imposing, determined, powerful, unstoppable. He was a blazing sun all on his own as he charged at the scorching fire of the Mutri Great Cavalry.
”Seeking death!!!”
Huoba Sangye squinted, and when he saw that the one charging at the front was not Li Siye, but the commander-in-chief of the Qixi Protectorate army, Wang Chong, his eyes exploded with a heaven-shaking killing intent. Everyone knew that Wang Chong's strongest trait was his grasp of strategy, not his martial arts.
For Wang Chong to come charging at him was exactly what Huoba Sangye wanted!
