"Xiao Bei Wang… you truly are despicable!"
Upon clearly seeing Xiao Yunlong, Buluzage, the commander of the allied forces of the three northern desert kingdoms, gritted his teeth and roared.
Xiao Yunlong chuckled, "Thank you for the compliment. As the saying goes, all's fair in war. It's not that I'm despicable, but rather that you are too arrogant, and foolish!"
His tone shifted as he continued, "Buluzage, are you ready?"
"Ready for what?" Buluzage retorted.
"Naturally, ready to die!"
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yunlong commanded, "All soldiers, listen to my order, charge!"
Instantly, the valley entrance erupted with earth-shattering war cries. The more than twenty thousand elite soldiers behind Xiao Yunlong launched their charge.
"Charge! Everyone, charge with all your might! As long as we break through this valley, the path ahead is clear and Aslianze City will not be far!"
Buluzage bellowed, charging out himself, followed closely by his four guardian wizard masters, and then by over a dozen generals and soldiers.
The two armies surged forward like tides, colliding with a sound that shook the heavens and earth as the great battle commenced.
Buluzage had initially believed that by leading the charge, relying on his own formidable martial prowess, and with the assistance of the four great wizard masters, he would undoubtedly be able to break through.
If successful, he might even be able to kill the Zhenbei King of the Dragon Country standing before him.
However, Buluzage soon realized he was wrong, and terribly wrong.
Within a single exchange, the four super-master guardian wizards beside him were eliminated by Xiao Yunlong.
"This… how is this possible!" Buluzage's eyes widened in shock.
Before he could even react, he was sent flying by a kick from Xiao Yunlong, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Capture him, don't kill him yet. His life is still worth something!" Xiao Yunlong shouted, then attacked again.
With the enemy commander and his four guardian masters dealt with, Xiao Yunlong no longer needed to intervene. Moreover, Zhuge Wushuang and Li Jiuxiao, who had arrived with hundreds of elites, were already on the scene.
However, the remaining besieged enemy forces fought like cornered beasts, resisting with a ferocity that surpassed their usual capabilities.
To minimize casualties among his own soldiers, Xiao Yunlong fought ferociously, transforming into the god of death on the battlefield, with enemy soldiers falling wherever he went.
Subsequently, with Zhuge Wushuang and Li Jiuxiao leading hundreds of elite soldiers in a flanking charge, the besieged enemy forces were further scattered, shattering their last vestiges of fighting spirit.
The battle ended swiftly. Not a single one of the over twenty thousand soldiers who broke through from Tianzang Mountain to the valley entrance escaped; all were annihilated in the valley area. The only survivor was the commander, Buluzage.
At this moment, Xiao Yunlong suddenly commanded, "Qinglong, Xuanwu, heed my order! Take all the elite soldiers here and rush to Aslianze City to support Tu Fu!"
"Support Tu Fu? My Lord, is Tu Fu in danger?" Zhuge Wushuang asked.
"Not necessarily. It's just that before the battle began, I ordered scouts to deliberately spread news into Aslianze City, stating that their commander was currently surrounded in Tianzang Mountain. By now, the fifty thousand garrison troops of Aslianze City should have rushed out and engaged Tu Fu's forces!"
Xiao Yunlong continued, his voice grave, "Remember, you will directly flank them and encircle them. If the fifty thousand garrison troops of Aslianze City come out, they must be completely annihilated!"
"Understood, we guarantee the completion of the mission!" Li Jiuxiao and Zhuge Wushuang bowed, then each led over ten thousand troops from the area and departed swiftly.
Hearing this, Buluzage could no longer remain silent and roared, "Devil, you truly are a devil! Not only did you kill my two hundred thousand troops, but you also intend to capture the fifty thousand garrison troops of Aslianze City in one fell swoop. Xiao Bei Wang of the Dragon Country, you are too ruthless!"
Xiao Yunlong threw his head back and laughed heartily, "Getting agitated already? Don't worry, I not only intend to capture the fifty thousand garrison troops of Aslianze City, but I will also annihilate the three hundred thousand troops on the eastern front. Remember this one thing: those who offend my Dragon Country will be punished, no matter how far away they are!"
"You… you, devil, you are a devil!" Buluzage roared repeatedly. However, his acupoints were sealed, and no matter how unwilling he was, he could only roar in futility.
"Take him with us, let's go!" Xiao Yunlong waved his hand.
Jun Bufan immediately lifted Buluzage, who was as imposing as a white brown bear, and asked, "Big Brother, where are we going next?"
"To Aslianze City!" Xiao Yunlong said, walking towards where the vehicles were parked.
"To Aslianze City? I originally thought, Big Brother, you would lead the more than one hundred thousand troops from Tianzang Mountain directly back!" Jun Bufan said.
Xiao Yunlong smiled faintly, "Given the current situation, leading the army back directly is also a good method, but it's not the best method. Of course, this is not the style in which your Big Brother leads troops in battle!"
Jun Bufan nodded heavily, sighing, "Indeed, after witnessing your troop deployment, strategic planning, and overall command over these past few days, I am greatly shaken and have learned a lot."
Xiao Yunlong shook his head and smiled, no longer speaking. He and Liu Ruyan opened the car doors and got in. Jun Bufan also placed the enemy commander Buluzage into the car.
As for the more than one hundred thousand troops originally ambushing in Tianzang Mountain, Xiao Yunlong had instructed the newly promoted generals Tang Bowen and Pan Chaofeng to lead the subsequent troops.
And just as Xiao Yunlong set off, as he had predicted, the fifty thousand garrison troops in Aslianze City, upon learning that their commander was surrounded in Tianzang Mountain, were finally lured out.
This led them into Tu Fu's ambush. However, the terrain in front of Aslianze City was very flat. In such a situation, it would be very difficult for Tu Fu's fifty thousand troops to completely encircle and annihilate the fifty thousand garrison troops of Aslianze City.
Fortunately, as the two sides fought fiercely, and the Aslianze City garrison troops, seeing the situation turn unfavorable, attempted to retreat back into the city, Li Jiuxiao and Zhuge Wushuang each led ten thousand troops to charge from the rear flanks.
This caused the Aslianze City garrison troops to panic completely. In the end, there was no suspense. The fifty thousand Aslianze City garrison troops were almost completely annihilated, with only a very small portion managing to escape back into the city under the cover of night.
While organizing the battlefield, almost all the soldiers marveled at how brilliantly this battle had been fought. Not only had they ambushed Buluzage's two hundred thousand troops, but they had also seized the opportunity to annihilate the fifty thousand garrison troops of Aslianze City.
It could be said that if they wished, with just a single command from their commander, Prince Xiao Bei, they could take Aslianze City, thirty miles ahead, in an instant.
"So exhilarating! It's truly interesting to fight alongside Prince Bei!"
"Who says it isn't? Our Prince Bei truly lives up to his reputation as the Dragon Country's God of War. The series of plans, stratagems, and intricate schemes he employed were simply masterful. I am convinced!"
"I've been convinced for a long time. Prince Bei is my idol. Long live Xiao Bei Wang!"
"Long live Xiao Bei Wang!"
Someone suddenly shouted this, and then the entire battlefield plain echoed with continuous shouts, sweeping across like a tide.
At this moment, Xiao Yunlong stood on a nearby hilltop, his hands clasped behind his back, observing it all.
Liu Ruyan stood beside him, looking at him from the side. It was then that she truly realized how heroic, how majestic, and how tall her man was.
