Awooo!
Howls resounded through the air. The first to move was not Duwusili's twenty thousand elite soldiers, but the vast sea of azure wolves that had followed Duwusili from the Western Turkic steppe.
In the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint, smoke and dust surged. It was unknown how many wolves were howling as they formed groups and rushed towards the first line of defense. Following closely behind the wolves were countless Western Turkic soldiers, all of them waving their sabers and swords and roaring in excitement as they surged toward the first defense line.
Kacrack!
Not long after these twenty thousand soldiers surged forward, a thunderbolt exploded. As everyone watched, thunderclouds began to gather over the Western Turkic cavalry. In the blink of an eye, they cast a massive shadow over the Turkic cavalry.
Rumble! In the sky above the Western Turkic army, dark clouds were roiling, countless bolts of lightning shuttling through them. It was an extremely frightening sight. The moment these thunderclouds appeared, all the Western Turkic cavalry seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, their strength, speed, and dexterity exploding.
Abu Muslim, Osman, Ziyad, and the others couldn't help but be moved by this sight. The strength the Western Turks had displayed at this moment was enough for even the Arabs to view them in a new light.
"This bastard was actually hiding his strength!"
A hint of anger flashed through Huoba Sangye's eyes.
Last time, when Su Hanshan had led the Tang Dynasty reinforcements, he had clearly been needed, but this scoundrel had been hiding his strength, only using his formation phenomena now.
"Duwusili was saving his formation phenomena for a moment like this. Why else do you think Duwusili was so proactive last night?"
Dalun Ruozan calmly said as he looked forward.
"He just wants a bigger piece of the pie!"
Duwusili's ability to play the fool had reached a certain level. If one didn't know his goal and only looked at his actions and words, it would be very easy to be fooled and toyed with. But even so, in front of Dalun Ruozan, Duwusili had no secrets to speak of. Dalun Ruozan could see through all of Duwusili's secrets and intentions.
"Let's go! We should also get ready to move out!"
Dalun Ruozan urged his horse forward.
… …
Whoosh!
The strong wind blew sand and stones into the air, stirring up a dense cloud of dust. Like raindrops, the dust smashed against the steel wall, emitting a series of resounding sounds. A hint of a smile appeared in Wang Chong's eyes as he gazed at the wolf pack surging toward him.
This is truly a case of Li Gui fighting Li Kui. To think that Duwusili would want to use my formation phenomena to deal with me. How interesting!
A hint of amusement appeared on Wang Chong's lips as he looked at the approaching Western Turkic army.
The seed he had sown more than a month ago had finally blossomed, sprouted leaves, and bore fruit. It was now time to reap the harvest.
In the distance, Duwusili's wolf pack and army were getting closer and closer to the first defense line. Duwusili had chosen an extremely clever angle of attack, precisely on the left flank where the Tang Dynasty had suffered a heavy blow yesterday and the Revelation Army had pierced through it. Many of the steel walls there had been sent flying by the Revelation Army, and the entire defense line was crooked and crooked. Even now, it had not been completely repaired.
"How clever!"
Wang Chong couldn't help but exclaim in praise at this sight. Duwusili's craftiness had seeped into his bones, and he would never let go of any opportunity that he discovered. But if Duwusili thought that this would give him an advantage, he was gravely mistaken.
"Prepare the beehives!"
"Xue Qianjun, prepare to enter the field!"
"Yes! This general will go! "
Xue Qianjun faintly smiled, apparently having expected this. After bowing, he swiftly left the army.
A few moments later, a mixed group of Ferghanians, Karluks, and Tang Dynasty soldiers was moved to the left flank.
"This bastard, what's the meaning of this? Does he think that he can defeat my army like this? "
Duwusili was infuriated by this sight.
Formation phenomena was the supreme art of cavalry and also the greatest strength of any army. Once one cultivated formation phenomena, the strength of an army would be greatly boosted. For Wang Chong to use this motley crew to deal with his army left Duwusili feeling deeply humiliated.
He did not believe that this was some sort of mistake or coincidence. Everyone in the world knew of Wang Chong's military strategy, and there was no doubt that Wang Chong wanted to humiliate him.
"Hmph, pass on my order! Inform Shamshak and Chekun Benba to kill these Tang Dynasty soldiers and cut through their left flank. Leave none alive! "
Duwusili savagely ordered.
In the distance, the battle was on the verge of breaking out. In the cold and gloomy winds, nearly one hundred thousand azure wolves were lunging at the left flank of the Tang Dynasty. All the azure wolves that he had brought with him had been sent to the battlefield. These were the vanguard of the Western Turks and also the strength that the Turks were using to probe the Tang Dynasty.
Duwusili did not have the Silver Behemoths that the Arabs had, so he could not stop the ballistae of the Tang Dynasty. But none of this was important. This vast sea of azure wolves was the best defensive barrier.
"Ready!"
"Release!"
The giant green wolves were getting closer and closer. He could even see the gravel and dust kicked up by their limbs. He could clearly see their white fangs and saliva dripping from their sharp fangs. Without the slightest hesitation, amidst a series of creaking sounds, all of the steel city walls opened up the honeycomb holes in front of them. Sharp arrowheads were densely packed, arranged in a formation, and pushed out from within.
Thirty zhang, twenty zhang, one hundred zhang …
Boom! Boom! Boom!
On the left flank of the Tang Dynasty, the steel walls seemed to come to life, instantly unleashing a torrent of arrows. These steel arrows seemed capable of toppling mountains and overturning seas, instantly engulfing all the azure wolves in a radius of several hundred meters.
Awoooo!
A cyan giant wolf couldn't dodge in time, and was instantly pierced through the waist by a short steel arrow, nailing it to the ground. Then, two, three, four … Tens of thousands of cyan giant wolves were covered by the rain of arrows, and were nailed to the ground in dense clusters.
"Ready! Release! "
With a creaking sound, the second volley of arrows arrived like a swarm of locusts. Awoooo! "Awooo!" The howls of the wolves became more and more shrill. Due to the speed of the green wolves, after being pierced by the rain of arrows, their bodies rolled on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. They only stopped after being smashed more than ten meters away. Blood gushed out and flowed freely on the ground.
"Everyone, hear my order! While the Tang people are reloading their arrows, charge for me!"
Shamask pulled out his saber and harshly said, his eyes fixed on the enemy.
The beehive attacks of the Tang Dynasty seemed fierce on the surface, each volley like a rain of death, but they were actually not as frightening as imagined. Although the volley of arrows was terrifying, it required time to reload. The gap between volleys of arrows was the best opportunity for the Western Turks to attack.
"Damn Tang people! Prepare to be slaughtered! "
Shamshak leaned against his horse, his eyes bursting with killing intent.
A scholar who had been away for three days had to be looked at in a new light. If the Western Turks could break into the steel defense line on the left flank, the Tang would suffer the same fate as when the Revelation Army descended yesterday, slaughtering them like pigs.
In the past battles, the Western Turks had always been the ones being suppressed. But now was the time for the Western Turks to hold their heads high and wipe away their shame.
Rumble! As the beehives on the left flank of the Tang Dynasty reloaded, nearly twenty thousand Western Turkic cavalry roared and madly charged.
"Kill!"
Roars shook the heavens as countless Western Turkic warriors madly charged at the left flank of the Tang Dynasty.
Boomboomboom!
The reloading was completed very quickly. Amidst the rumbling sounds, the dense rain of arrows whistled out once more. One wave, two waves, three waves … the number of wolves in front of the defense line dwindled, and by the time they were still several meters from the first defense line, the wolves had lost more than sixty thousand of their numbers. In the face of such terrifying killing power, some of the surrounding wolves instinctively felt fear and began to flee to the sides. The wolf pack in front of Shamshak's forces instantly thinned to the extreme.
"Shields!"
Just as they were about to enter the range of the beehives, Shamshak bellowed as he grabbed a large shield from his horse and placed it in front of him. There was a clattering of metal as the halos beneath Shamshak, Chekun Benba, and all the Western Turkic cavalry began to vibrate at an extremely high frequency. This was the sign of the final charge.
Bang!
Just when Shamshak and the Western Turkic cavalry had finished their preparations, a torrent of arrows poured down, but when they struck the shields of Shamshak's forces, they were all blocked.
Neigh!
At that moment, a loud neigh of a horse resounded across the entire battlefield like thunder. But this neigh did not come from the horses of Shamshak's forces.
In a flash, Shamask seemed to sense something and raised his head in alarm. He saw a sturdy black warhorse charging out from behind the left defense line. It immediately began to gallop toward Shamshak's forces.
As if it was some sort of signal, in an instant, countless warhorses rushed out from the gap in the first line of defense like a tide.
"What?"
Shamshak and Chekun Benba were both stunned by this sight. This mob of mercenaries and Tang dynasty soldiers had actually dared to leave the defense line and attack. None of them had even dared to imagine such a thing.
"Kill them!"
