Clang!
There was a metallic clatter as an invisible energy shot through the air. A moment later, the energies of the halos beneath the Tongluo Cavalry fused together into a complicated chain formation.
With a clang, a small phantom blade appeared within each Tongluo Halo.
The Tongluo Cavalry that had been engaged in fierce battle with the Sunchaser Cavalry suddenly swerved, unfolding like a chain-link sword as they rapidly accelerated. Then, like a whirlpool, the Tongluo Cavalry made a giant arc that avoided the vanguard of the Sunchaser Cavalry before finally stabbing into the rear flank of the Sunchaser Cavalry at several times their previous speed.
Boom!
All other sound in the world was drowned out by the din of numerous collisions. Exploiting their high speed, the Tongluo Cavalry battered their way through the Sunchaser Cavalry’s formation.
“Watch out! The rear flank!”
“Turn the formation around! Stop them!”
“Damn it! Don’t let them break apart the formation!”
Furious roars resounded. No matter how brutish the Khitans were, they understood that a cavalry charge relied on the strength of the collective. Once they were scattered, it would no longer matter how strong or daring they were.
This was because an individual could not contend against a collective.
Alas, the Khitans had reacted far too slowly.
When it came to tactics, the Sunchaser Cavalry were far behind Abusi.
Rumble!
In the blink of an eye, the frenzied Sunchaser Cavalry that only knew how to charge were scattered by Abusi’s Tongluo Cavalry, panicked screams ringing out amidst the din of collisions.
It took only a few moments for thousands of Sunchaser Cavalry to be scattered by the Tongluo Cavalry, many of them crushed under the feet of the horses as Stellar Energy knocked them from their mounts.
The army was in disarray!
All the alliance commanders grimaced, particularly the Khitan King, whose confident face transformed into a nasty scowl.
He knew that the Sunchaser Cavalry would have a very hard time competing with the Tongluo Cavalry that had once vied for the spot of number one. After all, their numbers hadn’t even been equal. But he had never expected such a swift defeat.
Abusi’s abundant experience played a major role in this.
In this aspect, the Khitans would never be able to match the Great Tang.
“Go! Stop them!”
A thousand feet away, Youzhou Great General Tian Qianzhen led his army in a charge, his eyes flashing with cold light.
The seven thousand Sunchaser Cavalry were extremely important, and he could not let the Tongluo continue playing ‘divide and conquer’!
Without them, the others would also find it hard to fight back.
Boom!
Tian Qianzhen led his tens of thousands of Dark Shadow Cavalry across the battlefield, thrusting into the left rear flank of the Tongluo Cavalry like a heavy sword. At almost the same time, Tiechi Bileli struck from the right rear flank with his Golden Wolf Army.
The two Great Generals had both seen how dangerous the situation was and thrown their soldiers into the fray.
“All soldiers, focus on defense!” Abusi’s voice rang out.
Rumble! Following Abusi’s order, the eighty thousand elite cavalry behind the Tongluo Cavalry rapidly formed into a defense line and charged at the armies of Tian Qianzhen and Tiechi Bileli, using offense as a defense.
The Tongluo were too few in number. This was their greatest flaw, and Wang Chong had given Abusi the eighty thousand elites precisely to deal with situations like this.
The eighty thousand elite cavalry couldn’t compare to the Golden Wolf Army or Dark Shadow Cavalry, but Abusi didn’t need them to win. He just needed them to buy time for his twenty thousand Tongluo Cavalry.
While other armies might not have had this strength, Abusi was confident that soldiers trained by Wang Chong could do it!
Rumble!
In the blink of an eye, the two forces fiercely clashed.
……
In the rear, snowflakes drifted down as the war banner snapped in the wind.
Wang Chong stood with his hands behind his back, his body exuding a domineering aura. Even veteran Great Generals like Zhang Shougui and Abusi paled by comparison, let alone anyone else.
Wang Chong stood at the apex of the stars of the continent.
One star gleamed while the rest dimmed!
This was Wang Chong.
The honing of various trials had long ago made this blade of the empire incomparably sharp.
“It’s about time!”
Wang Chong softly chuckled.
He had been watching this battle the whole time, and he could see that Zhang Shougui and Abusi were a massive threat to the alliance army, with countless soldiers converging on them.
