Bang!
Like a dragon emerging from the sea, an earth-shattering boom rang out as a huge arrow broke the silence. It shot out like a bolt of lightning towards the scaled beast in the distance. This arrow carried the hopes of countless people. Even the fleeing mercenaries of the Western Regions couldn't help but turn their heads, their eyes shining with boundless hope.
Several dozen zhang passed, fifty zhang, thirty zhang, one hundred zhang …
Time seemed to slow down countless times as the distance between the arrow and the scaled Behemoth continued to shrink. Seventy zhang, sixty zhang … Boom! As countless people watched, the arrow fired from the giant crossbow struck the scaled-armored behemoth's head.
Awoooo!
The moment the longsword hit, the huge scaled beast seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. Its two front hooves were lifted off the ground, and its huge head was thrown back as it let out a painful howl. And its life energy, which had already been rapidly weakened by Wang Chong, was now even more severely weakened.
Boom! Cheers shook the heavens as the nearly one hundred thousand soldiers cheered in excitement. When so many people cheered together, no one could have imagined such a sight.
"Wonderful!"
"It's working! The giant ballista really is effective against the Behemoth!! "
The morale of the entire army soared. Chen Bin and the ballista soldiers were also overjoyed. Success! The giant ballista that Wang Chong and Zhang Shouzhi had designed together was actually effective against the Behemoth! The moment this giant ballista appeared, it immediately displayed an unimaginable power.
This arrow had an unprecedented impact on the distant Ouzan, the Western Turks, the Arabs, and everyone else.
"What is that? When did the Tang Dynasty get such a formidable weapon? "
On the hill, Huoshu Huizang's eyelids twitched violently. Looking at the arrow stuck in the giant beast's head, his heart was in turmoil. Huoshu Huizang was a renowned general of the Ouzan Empire, and he had crossed swords with Zhangchou Jianqiong many times, as well as other generals of the Tang dynasty. However, Huoshu Huizang had never seen such a weapon before.
The fact that the Arabian Empire possessed a Behemoth Army was already surprising enough, but the fact that the Tang Dynasty possessed such a terrifying weapon against the Behemoths left Huoshu Huizang in shock and astonishment.
Although the Giant Beasts were terrifying, if the Tang dynasty had a large number of these weapons, then even the Giant Beast Army would have nothing to fear.
In contrast, the Tang dynasty, which could create weapons to deal with the giant beasts, was more feared and feared.
"Impossible! When did the Tang dynasty become capable of resisting Arabia! "
The most shocked of all was the Celestial Wolf Great General Duwusili. He had been watching from the sidelines this entire time, and no activity had escaped his eyes and ears. When the Behemoth had sent Wang Chong flying, Duwusili had believed that the outcome of the battle was already decided. What awaited the Tang Dynasty was the complete annihilation of its army and the destruction of its city.
He had never imagined that a single arrow from the Tang Dynasty would be able to deal such a heavy blow to the Behemoth. The originally clear ending suddenly became confusing because of this arrow.
"Bastard! What's going on here! "
No one was more shocked than the commander of the Behemoth Army, Masil. The Behemoths had no natural enemies, and their defenses were so powerful that no human weapon could injure them. Masil found it hard to accept that one of the Behemoths had died here.
But what was even harder to accept was that these eastern infidels were actually able to create weapons that could deal with the Behemoths.
This time, Abu Muslim and Ziyad, the two highest commanders of the east, did not immediately rebuke Masil. Even for the two commanders, the arrow that had appeared out of the blue had caused a great impact and shock.
"Quickly reload! Prepare for the second shot!"
Chen Bin's voice resounded through the sky in high spirits. Although it had failed to kill the Behemoth, the giant ballistae had already proven their value. They were completely capable of dealing a heavy blow to the Arabian Behemoth.
Awoooo!
Just when the twenty-some ballista soldiers were about to load another giant bolt, a roar rang out. At some point, a pair of scarlet eyes had locked onto the ballista soldiers, a look of extreme hatred in them. At almost the same time, a thick baleful aura surged over the ballista soldiers and engulfed them.
In an instant, everyone felt a terrifying sense of danger.
"Not good! The Behemoth is aiming at us! "
"Hurry! Reload the ballistae! Everyone, prepare to protect the ballistae! "
Although that arrow had heavily wounded the scaled Behemoth, it had also succeeded in enraging it. With a heaven-shaking roar, the Behemoth turned its head and charged at the Behemoths.
"Ah!"
The army was in a state of panic, and even Chen Bin paled. Just as the giant ballistae and the surrounding ballista soldiers were about to fall to the Behemoth's hands, everyone heard a massive roar in their ears.
"Get out of my way!"
With a flash of light, a huge figure pushed the behemoth out of the defensive line like a mountain of gold and jade.
"Milord!"
"Marquis!"
The sight of that familiar figure gave the Behemoths a boost in morale. Although Wang Chong's four-armed god had lost two arms, it still possessed immense strength. More importantly, the Behemoth had suffered one blow after another, and its flame of life was rapidly dimming. It was no longer as ferocious as before.
Thudthudthud! Caught off guard, the Behemoth lost its balance and was pushed back several steps by Wang Chong's Godking Yama, each step causing the earth to quake and all of Talas to quake.
"Beast! Eat another blow from my cudgel! "
Wang Chong's furious roar was like a peal of thunder. He swung his cudgel at the Behemoth's head, or to put it more accurately, at the giant ballista bolt sticking out of the Behemoth's head.
The Behemoth howled, its body trembling in pain. Half of the ballista bolt had been exposed, but now that Wang Chong had smashed it into the Behemoth, the Behemoth was once more heavily wounded.
And Wang Chong's attacks were far from over. With this wave of attacks, the Behemoth's mind was thrown into disarray, and Wang Chong's Godking Yama continued to rain down blows. Boomboomboom! In a few short moments, the Behemoth's head had suffered thirty to forty blows.
"Wonderful!"
"Marquis! Marquis! Marquis! "
Cheers soared into the heavens, and the distant Ouzan, Western Turks, and Arabs all grimaced.
"Release!"
With Wang Chong fending off the Behemoth, Chen Bin and the others became excited. Chen Bin swung down his WuZi Steel sword, and in a flash of light, a second ballista bolt flew through the air, piercing into the Behemoth's head.
"Faster, faster!"
Chen Bin continued to urge them. With the experience from the first time, the speed at which everyone reloaded was much faster this time. Boom! Immediately after the second huge crossbow, another arrow over ten meters long struck the giant beast's head with a deafening roar.
… …
Wang Chong and the giant ballistae worked closely together. Wang Chong used his cudgel to attack while the giant ballistae fired from the rear. One ballista bolt after another struck the Behemoth's head, and with each strike, the Behemoth's life energy dimmed a little.
Boom! The last volley did not come from Chen Bin and the others, but from the open gate of Talas. At some point, a second giant ballista had been assembled within the city and had been pushed out of the gate. The commander at the lead was tall and extremely young. It was none other than Xu Keyi.
The appearance of the two giant ballistae elicited a wave of cheers from the army, and the morale, which had been at rock-bottom, instantly soared, even surpassing what it had been before the battle. And when Xu Keyi's arrow shot out, the distant Behemoth toppled over like a pillar of jade.
The fall of the Behemoth caused the earth to tremble as if it was unable to endure the enormous force and was on the verge of splitting apart.
After enduring twenty-some giant ballista bolts, the Terrorizer of the Arabian Empire's illustrious body finally lost all of its vitality.
"Protector-General! Protector-General! Protector-General! "
Both inside and outside the defense line, including Talas, the cheers of the army could be heard from a hundred li away. In the distance, the soldiers of the three empires had nasty grimaces, especially the Arabs. The Terrorizer's reputation was like a thunderclap in their ears, and it had destroyed countless cities. No existence had ever been able to pose a true threat to this Behemoth, much less kill it.
But now, it had slumbered here.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would have never dared to believe it. This was undoubtedly an enormous blow to the Arab army.
"Buzz!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong raised his right foot and strode over the corpse of the Terrorizer.
"Chen Bin, Xu Keyi, I'll leave those two giant ballistae to you. Work together and finish off the last Behemoth!"
Wang Chong's voice was still echoing over the defense line, but he had already vanished into the distance.
In the distance, Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, and Wang Yan were engaged in a white-hot battle with the black boar Behemoth. The three of them were madly attacking the Behemoth, but the Behemoth ignored them and continued to attack the City of Talas. The majestic City of Talas was constantly trembling, and the trembling was only getting stronger and stronger.
