657: Chapter 600: The Great Sui Emperor is Here!
Zhang San and Wang Junwu led the main force in a swift retreat to the south, and soon all troops had evacuated from the camp.
The entire camp was left desolate.
Soon, the Tujue army pursuing Emperor Kaihuang charged into the camp.
Of course, so troops also circled around from both sides of the camp.
Everyone had the sa goal: to catch up with the retreating Sui Army and capture Emperor Kaihuang!
While on horseback, Zhang San occasionally looked back at the Tujue army behind him, then turned to Wang Junwu to ask, “Have the Tujue forces already passed through our original camp?”
Wang Junwu laughed, “Brother San, are you referring to the camp, or a crematorium?”
“Pretty much the sa thing.”
As he spoke, Zhang San raised his hand.
The next mont, countless fires were lit inside the camp that the Sui Army had occupied, turning it into a sea of flas.
As the flas engulfed the Tujue army, those pursuing the Sui Army realized the danger and began to slow down.
Zhang San and Wang Junwu exchanged glances, then simultaneously gave orders.
Soon, the retreating Sui Army began to halt.
The Sui forces that were already lying in ambush nearby received the signal, and everyone waited for the Tujue to arrive.
It wasn’t long before the Tujue army finally charged in.
“Charge!
Capture Kaihuang!”
“Capture the Emperor of Great Sui, and the Khan will reward you handsoly!”
Just as the Tujue soldiers were exuberantly charging towards the Sui Army, a barrage of arrows flew in from both sides.
In an instant, the horsen at the front of the dense formation were shot down, thrown into disarray.
With their assault formation shattered, Zhang San drew his Mo Blade and shouted, “To defeat Tujue is today!
Sui Army, heed my command!
Kill!”
The next mont, the Sui forces ambushed nearby burst out in a counterattack.
Seeing countless torches suddenly light up on the once dark paths on both sides, the charging Tujue realized they had fallen into a trap.
The Khans Aikan Shetou and Shiba Limi, who were following with their troops, imdiately realized the deception.
But what scared them wasn’t the deception itself; what terrified them was that the Sui Army’s main camp ahead was engulfed in flas, and their troops could only detour from the sides.
Moreover, bypassing a huge camp cost precious ti and wasn’t the worst part; what was crucial was that the paths on both sides were not wide enough, severely slowing their march.
In the end, not many of the cavalry managed to break through, and as soon as they reached the other side, they were crushed by the Sui Army!
At the sa ti, the Sui Army that had set out from the north rounded Falling Dragon Mountain and charged towards the south.
Emperor Kaihuang turned to Changsun Wuji and asked, “So next is a pincer attack?”
Changsun Wuji hurriedly nodded, “Yes!
Zhang San said they would lead their troops to retreat south, making the Tujue think you were with the southern forces and chase after them.
Once they expose their rear, we’ll be right behind them, stabbing hard into the backsides of the Tujue!”
Hearing this, Emperor Kaihuang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“All soldiers, follow and stab at the backsides of the Tujue!”
Although it sounded weird to the troops, they chose to follow Emperor Kaihuang’s lead and shouted the slogan in unison.
Amidst the Tujue cavalryn attempting to breach the fiery lines, many heard the sounds behind them calling for a stab at their backsides.
During this ti, a common rumor among the Tujue was that the Black Dragon Evil God, who had often raided the plains, had a penchant for n, particularly those with shapely backsides.
At that mont, quite a few Tujue cavaliers vaguely felt that the Sui Army advancing from behind was aiming to exchange their backsides for rit with Zhang San.
Even though the Sui Army hadn’t yet reached their rear, the Tujue formation was already in disarray.
More accurately, the hearts of the Tujue were in disarray.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang San and Wang Junwu led the large army charging from the south, slaughtering the advancing Turks to near extinction.
And behind the Turks, Kaihuang led twenty thousand of the Sui Army to launch a ferocious assault on the Turks.
At this mont, standing atop Falling Dragon Mountain, Sharlobi suddenly realized he’d been duped.
Because he also spotted among the troops surging out from the north that there were three Purple Mansion Realm powerhouses, their positions not far off, and in the midst of these three powerhouses, it appeared that many were protecting the one at the center.
To warrant the protection of three Purple Mansion Realm figures, the identity of that person was unmistakable.
“Damn it!
It must be Zhang San tricking !”
At that mont, Sharlobi also ca to understand that if he had listened to the State Preceptor earlier and sent people to eradicate the more than twenty thousand Sui troops in the valleys of Falling Dragon Mountain, then he could have killed Kaihuang.
Even if they couldn’t kill Kaihuang directly, at the very least, they would have unveiled Kaihuang’s conspiracy.
What a pity!
But no matter!
“State Preceptor, it looks like we need to ask for their help after all.”
Upon hearing this, the State Preceptor let out a deep sigh.
When they were arranging their setup on Falling Dragon Mountain, Source of Suffering had sent three Purple Mansion Realm powerhouses to boost their strength.
Of course, the help from Source of Suffering wasn’t for free.
They hoped that after the battle, the Tujue would aid Source of Suffering in its expansion, making enemies of the Six Paths of this world.
Because this world was inherently composed of the Six Paths, agreeing to collaborate with Source of Suffering ant that the entire Tujue would be ostracized by the Six Paths.
Therefore, Sharlobi did not initially agree to the requests of Source of Suffering.
But now, Sharlobi understood that to win this battle, he must capture Kaihuang of Great Sui.
It was not only for the sake of his Great Khan’s reputation but also to show everyone on the steppes who didn’t submit to his authority that only he was qualified and capable of firmly holding the position of Great Khan!
Soon, the three waiting powerhouses from Source of Suffering arrived at the peak of Falling Dragon Mountain and glanced down at the raging battlefield below.
“The target is to kill Kaihuang of Great Sui?
This one is the Red Dust Immortal, wielder of the Imperial Path, not so easy to kill!”
One of the Purple Mansion Realm powerhouses spoke, clearly aiming to make additional demands.
At that mont, the State Preceptor gave a cold laugh and replied, “Isn’t it you who aims to confront the Six Paths of this world?
And now you speak of how difficult it is to kill Kaihuang!
Hmph…”
The Purple Mansion Realm powerhouse who had just spoken shot the State Preceptor a furious glare, obviously very displeased.
But the State Preceptor didn’t care whether he was pleased or not.
“Since our goals align, I ask the three of you to take action!”
The three Purple Mansion Realm powerhouses looked at the three from the Tujue side.
The next instant, six figures dashed down from the mountain peak of Falling Dragon Mountain, heading straight for the battlefield.
On the battlefield, commanding troops, Kaihuang was extrely proud.
He had secured his position as Emperor through machinations, not on horseback.
As such, Kaihuang had always both yearned for and feared the battlefield.
But now, he felt like a fish in the water on the battlefield, leading the Turks to a crushing defeat under his command.
“Hahaha…
Tujue scoundrels, is that all you’ve got?
This world is ultimately mine!”
Just as Kaihuang was basking in his triumph, suddenly a voice ca from afar, and a light descended from the sky, shining near him.
“The Emperor of Great Sui is here!”
“Kill——”
