”Milord!”
The sudden attack from this unexpected angle had left all the Tibetans dumbfounded. At this juncture, no one had expected the Great Tang to leave behind an army of disguised soldiers to ambush them in the rear. And the leaders of this ambush were Xianyu Zhongtong and Wang Yan!
These two were both experts inferior only to Great General Huoshu Huicang. Just by fighting alone, they would have been able to last a long time, but now they were working together to ambush Longqinba.
With this one strike, Longqinba was heavily injured.
”Protect Milord!”
”Damn it, the Tang are too despicable!”
”Stop them!”
”Kill them!”
……
All the Tibetans instantly reacted, all of them shocked and enraged as they heedlessly charged at Xianyu Zhongtong and Wang Yan. But before they could charge over, the several thousand cavalry of the Annan Protectorate army stabbed into them like a sharp knife, cutting the Tibetan formation into two.
”Kiiiill!”
The stomping of hooves filled the air. The attack from the Annan Protectorate army had come from a completely unexpected direction. Even Longqinba had been caught by surprise, so how could the ordinary soldiers not be?
Rumble!
Warhorse crashing into warhorse and scimitar clashing against sword created a massive din. Unwillingly, the Tibetans began to slowly give ground. The army of six or seven thousand had been thrown into chaos by the Tang charge.
”Kill him!”
Both Xianyu Zhongtong and Wang Yan stared with cold eyes at the fallen figure of Longqinba. This fierce general of Ü-Tsang was the head of the Five Tiger Generals. If they could kill him, they could definitely deal a massive blow to the morale of the Tibetan army.
As mud and water went flying, these two commanders of the Great Tang's southwest launched a fatal strike at the head of the Five Tiger Generals.
”Protect Milord!”
”We can't let the Tang harm Milord!”
In an instant, all the Tibetan officers became extremely worried and led the surrounding soldiers in a mad and reckless charge against Xianyu Zhongtong and Wang Yan. Mooo! In the air, the images of yaks began to appear, mixed with the images of the strange beasts from the legends of the plateau.
Stellar Energy covered the heavens, rumbling toward Wang Yan and Xianyu Zhongtong like countless dragons.
Boom! Boom!
In an instant, two majestic barriers of Stellar Energy rapidly expanded in the depths of the crowd. So domineering were these energies that they instantly shattered all the oncoming streams of Stellar Energy into pieces.
Not only that, these two powerful Stellar Energies joined together and swept away everything. These madly charging Tibetan officers and the soldiers they led were sent flying like ragdolls.
”Aaaaah!”
Screams rang out through the air. Even the brave and fierce Tibetans were no match for the two highest-ranked commanders of the Great Tang's southwest. With their obstructions blown away, these two generals plowed forward unhindered toward Longqinba.
”Huoshu Huicang isn't here, making this the best chance to kill Longqinba. Brother Gengzhi, attack with all you have. Don't give him a chance!”
Xianyu Zhongtong's furious roar resounded through the skies.
In Lion City, Longqinba had been a monstrous threat. This Tiger General raised by the Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple was incredibly powerful and possessed all kinds of techniques. In terms of one-on-one combat, no one in the Tang army except for Xianyu Zhongtong or Wang Yan was a match for him, and the Tang army had never been able to do anything about him.
But now, Longqinba was alone, giving the Tang the best chance to kill him.
Despite his astonishing strength, he would still die if he tried to fight the combined assault of Wang Yan and Xianyu Zhongtong.
”Milord, move!”
As Xianyu Zhongtong and Wang Yan struck with their lethal blows, a figure suddenly jumped out. Bang! Before anyone could see what was happening, Longqinba was pushed away.
In that split second, a Tibetan officer had charged forward and pushed Longqinba aside.
Longqinba reacted quickly, his palm quickly grabbing hold of a highland steed. With a flip of his body, he had mounted the horse.
“Hyah!”
Without even looking behind him, Longqinba urged the horse through the crowd and was instantly far away.
If it were only one of Xianyu Zhongtong and Wang Yan, he would dare to exchange a few blows. But he was injured, and his death was certain if he tarried. Only Great General Huoshu Huicang could block the simultaneous strikes of that pair.
”Xianyu Zhongtong, Wang Yan! You won't be able to escape the southwest! I'll definitely tear both of you into pieces!”
Longqinba's enraged bellow traveled across the distance, but he continued to retreat at full speed. Meanwhile, the other Tibetan cavalry cast away any thoughts of survival and began to charge at the pair.
”Protect Milord!”
”Stop them!”
