"But, if the City of Talas's Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation is so formidable that not even the Behemoth can break it, doesn't that make the Tang Dynasty invincible?"
Huoshu Huizang couldn't help but frown.
"Haha, it's not that simple."
Dalun Ruozan shook his head and grinned.
"The Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation at Talas was built more than two hundred years ago. One hundred years ago, the formation was already rather unstable, and now that the world has changed, the formation is finding it very difficult to absorb enough energy from the earth. At this point, the formation is probably only at forty or fifty percent of its original strength. It won't be able to hold out for too long. As long as the Arabs let that Behemoth continue to attack, the pressure on the formation will reach its limit. That's when the walls will fall. "
Dalun Ruozan's expression was calm and composed, but he exuded a powerful confidence that made others involuntarily trust him.
After so many years on the battlefield and facing all sorts of powerful foes, Dalun Ruozan had long ago developed an extraordinary intelligence and calculating ability. Although the Arab Behemoth Army was rather surprising, Dalun Ruozan's abilities allowed him to quickly grasp the rhythm of the battle.
It was very difficult for anything to surpass his expectations.
"Prime Minister, in your view, how long will that beast need to break the City of Talas?"
Duwu Sili's voice came from the side.
"If the Tang people can't find an effective method … it won't take more than five minutes to finish a cup of tea."
Dalun Ruozan confidently declared.
… …
In the distance, the black boar-like Behemoth outside the walls of Talas was smashing, shoving, and crashing. Only those who had actually seen it would understand why this Behemoth was called the destroyer of cities. The speed and frequency of its attacks far surpassed anyone's imagination. In a single second, it had launched at least five or six attacks on the city.
Dense rumbling sounds echoed throughout the city. Everyone in the city felt threatened, their fear reaching a peak.
In this city, there was no way for them to escape. Every time the behemoth attacked, it was like a death knell to them.
"Kill it! Don't let him get close to the wall! "
Seeing the concentrated attacks, Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, Wang Yan, and Banahan were all shocked. The city wouldn't be able to hold on for long if the beasts kept attacking like this. Boom! Boom! Boom! Countless attacks rained down on the black boar-like behemoth. Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, Wang Yan, and the other thirty thousand Great Generals were also frantic, and all of them were doing their utmost.
"It's useless. The Destroyer is different from other behemoths. Any type of attack is greatly reduced against it. What you're doing is futile."
In the distance, Masil inwardly sneered at the sight of the three Great Generals attacking the Destroyer.
When the Destroyer was first created, it had taken into account the possibility that it would be obstructed by some supreme experts during its assault on the city, so its defense had been set to be very high. This was something that the first sower could not compare to.
The attacks of Gao Xianzhi and the others would not be able to inflict any damage on the sower even after the city was breached.
Awooo!
Just when Masil's lips curled into a cold smile, he heard a heaven-shaking howl. Masil's heart trembled as he turned his head. In another direction, the Terrorizer was charging. A massive four-armed god, its body blazing with violet flames, had punched the Terrorizer's head several times. The violet flames had latched onto Wang Chong's fists and spread to the Terrorizer's body, seeping through the chinks in its armor.
The Terrorizer's defense was extremely powerful. The scales that covered its entire body were even more resistant to all kinds of attacks than the Destroyer to a certain extent. Wang Chong had only needed a few punches to make the Terrorizer howl. This was completely beyond Masil's imagination.
He could clearly sense that the Terrorizer had been heavily injured and in excruciating pain. Those attacks had posed an enormous threat to it.
"This is impossible! This doesn't make sense! No one can inflict so much damage to the Terrorizer. "
Masil's eyes widened in shock, not daring to believe what he was seeing.
"What's going on here?"
Let alone Masil, even Abu Muslim couldn't help but show a hint of shock.
There was no need to doubt the Behemoth's abilities, and he was sure that something had happened to it that he did not know about. Otherwise, a single Great General of the Tang Dynasty would never have been enough to make the Terrorizer howl in pain.
"Li Siye, attack its joints with all your strength! In addition, everyone, be careful of the Behemoth's trampling! "
Wang Chong's furious roar echoed through the plains like a clap of thunder. The Godking Yama that he had transformed into hugged the Terrorizer's head tightly from the side. His four arms took turns to attack, and every punch was filled with his full strength.
His conjecture from before had been confirmed. The Strength of Lu Wu was apparently very effective against these Behemoths. With each punch, Wang Chong could sense powerful life energy flowing from the Behemoths into his body. Wang Chong's Godking Yama originally only had the strength of a low-level Great General, but with the support of the life energy of these Behemoths, his cultivation was constantly rising, his strength madly rising from the low-level Great General level to the middle-level Great General level. Not only that, Wang Chong's own strength had also risen from Saint Martial Tier 7 to Saint Martial Tier 8, and he was charging toward Saint Martial Tier 9, the Brigadier General level.
If Wang Chong could reach the Brigadier General level, he would undergo a qualitative transformation. Both he and the Godking Yama would reach a higher level of power.
Roooar!
Enraged by Wang Chong's attack, the scaled hippo Behemoth roared and charged at Wang Chong. But although Wang Chong was still weaker than Gao Xianzhi and the others, his fighting skills were something that not even a supreme existence like the Celestial Wolf Great General Duwusili could do anything to, let alone the others.
Bang! Wang Chong flipped over, his enormous body flipping from one side of the scaled Behemoth to the other. As he landed, he unleashed a torrent of fists at the Behemoth. The violet flames grew brighter and brighter, and with each punch, the flame of life on the scaled Behemoth's body dimmed a little.
This sort of situation had never happened to the Arab Behemoth Army before.
"Just who is that bastard? Someone, kill him for me!"
Masil was enraged.
"Master archers! Where are the master archers?"
"It's useless. The attacks of master archers have no effect on this sort of Great General."
Ziyad looked into the distance, his expression incomparably solemn. Let alone Masil, not even Ziyad had expected such a situation to occur. There had to be a reason why the Behemoth Army had become one of the cornerstones of the Caliph. Not even Ziyad, who had reached the Great General level through the aid of his ritual tool, was confident that he could deal with a single Behemoth.
Not even Ziyad could explain the situation before him.
He could only say that this young Great General definitely had something on him that could restrain the Behemoth Army. Perhaps it was that violet flame, or perhaps something else. This was not good news for the Arabs!
"Damn it! I don't care if the attacks of the master archers are useful, but that Tang people must die! Whether it's for the empire or for this war! "
Masil pointed a finger at Wang Chong, but his eyes were on Abu Muslim and Ziyad, the two highest commanders of the eastern army. Masil's duty was to attack the city, break the stalemate, and destroy the enemy army. As for the experts of the enemy army, they were undoubtedly Abu Muslim and Ziyad.
Masil's meaning was crystal clear.
The eastern Sassanid army, especially Abu Muslim and Ziyad, must be responsible for eliminating this threat.
"Relax! He won't survive! No matter what the result of this battle is, he won't be able to return to the east alive! "
Abu Muslim's eyes were filled with disdain as he spoke, his voice firm and unquestionable.
"In truth, not a single one of the Tang people you see will be able to leave. But before that, I need you to fulfill our agreement. Destroy the Tang people's defense line and destroy their cities! "
Abu Muslim gave Masil a profound stare as he spoke, his meaning clear as day.
No matter how one looked at it, it was extremely unwise for Masil's Terrorizer to remain outside the defense line and tangle with an Imperial Great General of the Tang Dynasty. It was also not in line with the Arabs' will. Abu Muslim needed to completely destroy the steel defense line of the Tang Dynasty. Without this steel defense line, the outcome of the war would be completely different.
The hundreds of thousands of Arab soldiers might have already crushed the enemy.
"Understood!"
"Lord Governor, be at ease. I will definitely fulfill my promise."
Even though Masil had never cared about what others said, he couldn't help but blush and give a deep bow. Neither the Terrorizer nor the Destroyer had managed to destroy the enemy's cities and break their defense line. This was undoubtedly a disgrace to the Behemoth Army.
