[Update 7]
The battle was intensifying, the soldiers of both sides fighting with each other. Large numbers of cavalry were falling at every moment, and a bloody mist was roiling through the air.
The battle was still in a stalemate. Wang Chong was waiting, Gao Xianzhi was waiting, and beneath the black war banner, Qutaybah, Abu Muslim, and Dalun Ruozan were also waiting.
No battle could go on forever. No matter how well-matched the opponent was, there would always be a moment when the victor would be decided. And when the victor was decided, it would definitely be a complete victory for one side and a complete defeat for the other.
Several hours quickly passed, and the casualties on both sides continued to pile up. Bangbangbang! As the Tang Dynasty soldiers ran out of energy, the enemy took advantage of their weakness, the sharp Arabian scimitars cleaving through their armor, flesh, and bones, stabbing deep into their organs. These Tang Dynasty soldiers instantly fell lifeless to the ground.
Across from them, ten-some Arab horsemen had also been beheaded, their bodies dropping to the ground.
Whether it was the Tang Dynasty or the Arabs, the soldiers of both sides had stubbornly refused to retreat. No matter how many people fell, there would always be someone to take their place and return to the battlefield.
"Pass on my order! Have the enforcers enter the field! Anyone who retreats is to be immediately executed!"
Abu Muslim withdrew his gaze from the distant black war banner and turned his head to his deputy.
"Yes!"
The adjutant, who was tall and sturdy like an iron tower, quickly turned around and left. In just a moment, a law enforcement team consisting of four to five thousand people lined up like a wall and appeared at the back of the battlefield. Each of them gripped a bright scimitar as they viciously stared forward.
Enforcers!
This was not a strange name in the Arabian Empire. In the early days of Arabia's expansion, enforcers had been established to prevent soldiers from escaping, but they had been removed long ago. This was not because the army had been reformed, but because the Arabs were so brave and skilled in battle that the enforcers were unnecessary.
In their conquest of the various empires, the Arabs had been almost invincible, with no problem of escape.
But now, with the intense battle at Talas, Abu Muslim had no choice but to act out of character and reorganize the law enforcement team, urging the army to step up its assault.
The fierceness and cruelty of this war far exceeded everyone's expectations. The Arabs had never expected a fight like this, even when they had the absolute advantage in numbers. In the face of the terrifying killing power of the Tang people, even the valiant Arabs were beginning to feel fear.
"Sir, the soldiers are having a hard time holding on!"
A voice came from behind the first line of defense. Xu Keyi turned around and looked at Wang Chong, his face full of worry.
This war was far more intense and cruel than anyone could imagine. Not even the war of the southwest could compare.
Xu Keyi watched from behind the defense line. Even the Ultimate Martial Army was showing signs of fatigue, beads of sweat dripping down their faces, seeping through their armor and into their boots. If even the Ultimate Martial Army was in such a state, one could easily imagine how the others were faring.
"We have no path of retreat. We can only continue. Retreat means death, and the Arabs aren't in much better condition than we are!"
Wang Chong sternly said, his eyes turning to the right to where Li Siye and the Mo Saber Unit were.
At this point in the battle, the Mo Saber Squadron had finally suffered heavy casualties. A total of five thousand Mo Saber Squadron warriors had fallen on this battlefield. Their corpses were strewn all over the ground, their armor completely shattered.
It had only been a month since the Mo Saber Unit had been formed, but half of it had been lost.
But as the Mo Saber Unit's opponent, Osman's Tiber Army, had also suffered grievous losses. At least three thousand of the Tiber Army and the Mo Saber Unit had fallen together. Even the strongest of warriors would not be able to gain much of an advantage against the tyrannical attacks of the Mo Saber Unit. After all, the Mo Saber Unit's greatest advantage was its collective offensive power, not the strength of its individual soldiers.
"Xu Keyi, pass on my order! Beat the drums!"
"Your subordinate will deliver this order!"
Xu Keyi bowed and quickly rode away.
Bongbongbong!
A few moments later, the heaven-shaking beating of war drums resounded from the rear of the army. The sound of these drums caused the exhausted Tang Dynasty soldiers to reinvigorate and roar as they once more charged at the Arabs.
The beating of the drums was a signal for war, one that could greatly raise the morale of an army. After fighting for so long, Wang Chong was now using the drums to raise morale. It was clear that the situation of this battle was extremely grim.
The Tang Dynasty could not afford to lose, could not afford to lose!
Each Tang Dynasty soldier could deeply sense the will of the drums. Their blood surged as they exploded with all the potential in their bodies, raising their swords high into the air and slashing down at the Arabs.
For a moment, the screams of the Arabs filled the air as the Tang Dynasty began to subtly change the situation.
Bwoooom!
The moment the Tang Dynasty's drums began to beat, the Arabs and Ouzan soldiers in the rear of the Arab army swiftly responded. Ancient horns began to sound over the battlefield of Talas.
Stimulated by the horns, the Arabs became even more ferocious, roaring as they blocked the fierce attacks of the Tang people.
As the drums and horns sounded, the battle became even more intense and cruel. The number of casualties on both sides once more soared, but the battle remained at a stalemate.
Bang!
Time slowly passed, and as everyone's attention was focused on the intense battlefield, no one noticed that Qutaybah, who had been standing at the very front of the four black war banners, had suddenly moved, his entire body glowing with dazzling light. That Arabian steed, the Victor, suddenly took two steps forward, its golden hooves stomping down. In a flash, the earth quaked as a powerful energy surged through the earth.
This sudden change immediately attracted everyone's attention. Abu Muslim, Aybak, Osman, Ziyad, and the other elite Arab generals trembled and immediately turned to look at Qutaybah.
No matter the time, Qutaybah was always the center of the battlefield.
Although Abu Muslim, Osman, and Aybak had many criticisms of Qutaybah, not even the four of them realized that when it came to war, they seemed to instinctively rely on him.
"Pass on my order! Mobilize the Revelation Army!"
Qutaybah's cold and aloof voice resounded in everyone's ears as he waved his arm and issued an order.
The soldiers around the four black war banners instantly became energized, and even Aybak couldn't suppress the excitement in his eyes.
They're finally moving out!
Aybak's mind was filled with excitement as this thought flashed through his mind.
The Revelation Army!
This was Arab War God Qutaybah's strongest force and the most terrifying army in the empire. In terms of fighting power, it was far superior to the Crimson Moon Vanguard, the Blood Beast Army, and the Death Army. Not even Abu Muslim's Fearless Army could compare to it. This was the strongest force under Qutaybah's command in the Arabian Empire.
"Boom!"
Qutaybah had barely finished speaking when the earth quaked as if an enormous hand had slammed into it. A moment later, the final elite force of the Arab army finally stepped onto the stage. Buzz! An army of more than five thousand soldiers wearing golden armor and wielding golden heavy swords appeared in the rear of the Arab army.
Just from appearance alone, this army was seventy to eighty percent similar to Qutaybah's, and even the energy they exuded was similar. It was just that this army was not as strong as Qutaybah's.
But even so, this army gave off a bright, vast, valiant, and ferocious feeling. More than five thousand Revelation Warriors stood there, each of them as imposing as an abyss. They did not seem like warriors of the mortal world, but more like the Kingdom of Heaven itself. They were the soldiers of God!
Whoosh!
The air was solemn and somber as the winds howled. The appearance of the five thousand golden-armored soldiers instantly changed the mood of the battlefield. Even though it was tens of thousands of feet away, anyone who saw it would feel a huge impact and pressure. Even before these Revelation Army soldiers had appeared, they were like heavy stones pressing down on everyone's hearts, making them feel like they were suffocating.
The five thousand Revelation Army soldiers looked down on the battlefield, their faces emotionless and callous.
"Attack!"
With this order, the five thousand golden-armored Revelation Army soldiers transformed into flowing streams of golden light that shot toward the Tang Dynasty like quicksilver. At that moment, the entire world fell silent. The aura exuded by the five thousand Revelation Army soldiers was even more terrifying than the charge of five hundred thousand soldiers.
The earth beneath their feet trembled and trembled. The dazzling golden light and the avalanche of energy truly were like the divine soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven, giving everyone an intense shock and awe. Their strength was high and mighty, far surpassing any top-notch troops. Even the Undead Army paled in comparison to them.
With the appearance of the final heavyweight Revelation Army, the final army of the Arab side had also entered the field.
At this point, the hundreds of thousands of Arab soldiers had entered the battlefield. Even Qutaybah had no soldiers left under his command!
Both sides had put all their strength into this battle, and the tide of the battle was once more in the Arabs' favor.
