CHAPTER 562 - INTRODUCTION
"Press forward!"
Without waiting for the battle to fully unfold, Gelofeng waved his hand, and another wave of White Stone Legion pressed forward with tens of thousands of soldiers. Shields collided with shields, and the sound of steel colliding with steel rang out. Both sides were densely packed together.
"Press forward!"
Right when the second wave of people went up, Geluofeng's third wave of people surged forward and covered the sky and earth.
"Don't give them a chance to breathe. Duan Wuzhi, you go up and personally hold the line!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
At Geluofeng's side was a heroic general with a white tasseled spear. He clamped the sides of his horse and immediately leapt forward. It was the commander-in-chief of White Horse Legion, Duan Wuzhi. Duan Wuzhi was the younger brother of Mengshe Zhao's General Duan Gequan. He was also the commander-in-chief and valiant general of White Horse Legion.
The entire White Horse Legion was trained by him.
Sending out Duan Wuzhi at the beginning of the battle showed how much importance Gelofeng placed on this battle.
Bang bang bang bang!
The air shook, and the rings of light rumbled. Layers of rings stacked on top of each other, pushing forward continuously. In a short period of time, the Tang Dynasty's shield soldiers at the foot of the mountain were under extreme pressure.
Every inch of land was covered with at least several times the number of White Stone Legion soldiers charging forward.
Huge thorn-shaped rings of light intertwined with each other, rumbling and shaking continuously. Battle cries rang out incessantly. Gelofeng didn't use any tricks. He just relied on his advantage in numbers to continuously press against the Annam Protectorate on the mountain.
A single White Stone Legion soldier wasn't a match for the Annam Protectorate at all, be it in terms of strength, speed, or agility. However, when the numbers reached a certain level, the quantitative change would lead to a qualitative change, and everything would be different.
"Let's see what they do?"
At the foot of the mountain, Gelofeng, Huoshu Huizang, and Dalun Ruozan all looked at the top of the mountain silently. Everyone was silently waiting for the Annam Protectorate's response.
The steel walls at the top of the mountain looked like a fortress. It looked like a city, but it was not a city.
Even Gelofeng and Huoshu Huizang had never seen such a situation before.
The two of them couldn't figure out Wang Chong's pulse at all.
The first wave was a test.
"What do you think they will do?"
Gelofeng suddenly said.
"How to do it … You'll know soon enough."
Huoshu Huizang narrowed his eyes.
In Zhangchou Jianqiong's era, these two ambitious and ruthless figures of the southwest had always kept each other in check. But after Zhangchou Jianqiong's era, these two ambitious and ruthless figures of the southwest actually stood together to deal with the Tang dynasty.
"The White Stone Legion is a legion that I trained. Its defense is extremely strong. No matter what tricks they have up their sleeves, they will be greatly discounted in front of the White Stone Legion. As long as we can break through their defenses and destroy the Annam Protectorate, the entire southwest of the Tang dynasty will be our world. This will be our final battle! "
Gelofeng said, gazing at the top of the mountain.
The final battle. After eliminating these enemies before them, the entire southwest of the Tang dynasty would be the world of Ouzan and Mengshe Zhao. At this time, even Gelofeng couldn't conceal the excitement in his heart.
Everything he had hoped for would become a reality tomorrow.
"Don't be too careless!"
A voice came from the side. It was Huoshu Huizang's voice.
"What? With our army of 500,000, do you think we can't destroy the last of their troops? "
Gelofeng frowned and said.
Huoshu Huizang was Ouzan's general. He was incomparably brave. Gelofeng originally thought that Huoshu Huizang would agree with his point of view. However, he didn't expect that Huoshu Huizang's attitude was completely different from what he had imagined.
"I didn't say that we can't destroy them. I only said that we need to be cautious. I have a feeling that this matter won't go as smoothly as we think. "
Huoshu Huizang said calmly.
For some reason, Huoshu Huizang had a bad feeling in his heart. Perhaps it was because the Tang people at the top of the mountain were too quiet. Perhaps it was because in Huoshu Huizang's heart, the Annam Protectorate had fled all the way but chose to stop here only because there was a mountain here.
"In short, maintain sufficient vigilance. Don't be careless …"
…
Bang bang bang!
On the mountain slope, the shields kept colliding with each other, and the sound of explosions was endless.
"Kill! — — "
"Kill! — — "
Tens of thousands of White Stone Legion soldiers roared as they pressed forward. Squeaking sounds could be heard without end.
"Hold!"
"Hold!"
… …
On the mountain slope, the Annam Protectorate was constantly being squeezed down. One by one, the soldiers held onto their shields and kept retreating. Bang bang! Stones exploded beneath their feet, the enormous pressure causing the feet of these frontline shieldbearers to sink deeply into the earth and rocks.
It seemed that the collapse of the front line was only a matter of time.
Kaclack!
The sound of shields rubbing against each other caused the faces of the Tang dynasty soldiers to turn red. At the base of the mountain, Gelofeng, Duan Gequan, Fengjiayi, Dalun Ruozan, and Huoshu Huizang were all looking up at the summit.
As long as the Tang dynasty soldiers on the front line could no longer hold out, everyone would rush in and attack the summit in one fell swoop.
"It's about time!"
Wang Chong looked down from his vantage point at the entangled Tang dynasty, Mengshe Zhao, and Ouzan soldiers, and his gaze slowly turned sharp. Gelofeng and Huoshu Huizang were using the White Stone Legion to test him.
But wasn't Wang Chong also testing him?
Bang!
With a heavy wave of his right hand, the Mengshe – Ü-Tsang army suddenly found itself caught off guard. Just when the Annam Protectorate and the Mengshe – Ü-Tsang army were in a stalemate, on the verge of collapse … Rumble! The outermost Annam Protectorate in the first circle suddenly collapsed, tens of thousands of soldiers fleeing in all directions.
Buzz! The White Stone Legion soldiers in the innermost circle were all dumbfounded.
"What's going on here?"
At the base of the mountain, Gelofeng's expression flickered.
Although he had also hoped that the Annam Protectorate would fail, he had not expected such a crushing defeat. This was happening much earlier than he had anticipated. But before he had time to think, the White Stone Legion surged forward.
"Wait!"
Gelofeng wanted to say something, but it was too late. The tens of thousands of White Stone Legion soldiers surged forward, throwing their formation into complete chaos.
"Kill!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill these Tang people, and the southwest will be our world!"
… …
The sight of the Annam Protectorate being routed on the front lines had everyone going crazy. With the Tang people in the front and the White Stone Legion in the back, it was like a chase. But no one noticed that other than the soldiers on the front lines being routed, all the Tang Dynasty soldiers on the summit remained motionless.
"Begin!"
He waved his right hand, and before the Whitestone Corps soldiers could react, countless Tang soldiers had charged in from the left and right flanks.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The first wave to arrive was not the Tang Dynasty infantry, but the sound of tens of thousands of ballistae. These ballistae were all hidden behind the steel walls. From the foot of the mountain, no one could see them at all.
Pfft pfft pfft!
Before the White Stone Legion could react, cold light flashed in the air, and the ballista bolts, flickering with the cold light of death, swarmed toward them. There wasn't even time to dodge, and the soldiers of the Whitestone Corps were cut down one after another like wheat being cut down.
The surging Stellar Energy and the thorny halos could not stop the ballista bolts at all.
"Ah! … "
Screams rang out incessantly as tens of thousands of White Stone Legion soldiers fell in droves. Each ballista bolt pierced through at least ten to twenty soldiers.
Under normal circumstances, these ballistae would not have been able to cause so much damage if they were wielding large shields. But when a group of people swarmed forward, they were so densely packed that it was impossible for them to fall.
And the dense crowd allowed the ballista bolts to display their full power.
"Retreat! Retreat! … "
"Run! Ballista bolts! … "
"This is an ambush! Everyone retreat! "
