"All soldiers, hear my order! Prepare to attack!"
On the mountain, both the White Stone Legion and the Ouzan cavalry were being routed. At this time, even a fierce general like Longqinba was powerless. As countless soldiers of the coalition army were being cut down like weeds, Huoshu Huizang finally gave the order.
"Wait a moment!"
Dalun Ruozan suddenly came to his senses and called out to Huoshu Huizang.
"There's no need to send any more soldiers. There's no meaning in sending any more soldiers. Didn't we get a batch of Celestial Wolf Bows from the Western Turks not long ago? "
"Prime Minister means …"
Huoshu Huizang suddenly understood Dalun Ruozan's meaning.
"It's about time to use those Celestial Wolf Bows. Have them enter the field! "
Dalun Ruozan said.
This time, Huoshu Huizang did not object. Although Dalun Ruozan, as a civil minister, was somewhat overstepping his bounds by intervening in the war, Huoshu Huizang was well aware that this person had never been a purely civil minister.
Even the military books of the Central Plains that Wang Chong had obtained had been obtained by him.
Dalun Ruozan's method might not have been suitable at other times, but it was completely appropriate at this moment. It was just that his methods were a little cruel.
"Didn't you hear? Celestial Wolf Cavalry, hear my order! Prepare to fall into line! "
Huoshu Huizang's eyes flashed as he quickly made his decision.
Galloping galloped through the air, stirring up a cloud of dust.
A few moments later, a fully-armored Ouzan cavalry galloped out from the vast army. Unlike the other Ouzan cavalry, each member of this army carried a massive Celestial Wolf Bow on their back.
These Celestial Wolf Bows were made from high-quality nanmu, each of them four to five feet long and more than half their height. The grey wolf skin used to wrap the bow clearly indicated the bow's identity.
Only the Western Turks, who occupied the steppe and desert lands of the northwest of the Tang dynasty, would use this bow.
Although the Western Turks were far inferior to the Tang Dynasty in smelting metals and forging weapons, and they had always been lacking in metals, they were far superior to the Tang Dynasty when it came to the creation of bows.
Even though the bows of the Western Turks were far inferior to the ballistae of the Tang dynasty and did not have the technology to use them, they still possessed a power beyond the ballistae.
And even better than ballistae, they were much easier to make.
"Get ready!"
With a high-pitched sound and a creaking sound, the Sirius Bows were pulled taut to the extreme. Countless arrows were as dense as a forest, and all of them were aimed in the direction of the mountain peak.
"Release!"
Pang! Pang!
With a series of deafening explosions, tens of thousands of arrows streaked across the sky like rain. After drawing arcs in the air, they fell toward the battlefield on the surface of the mountain.
"Ah! Ahhh! "
Suddenly, there was a scream. A Mengshe Zhao soldier had barely taken two steps when he was struck dead by a sharp arrow. The arrow had pierced through his throat, pierced through his collarbone, and struck his organs.
The Mengshe Zhao soldier only had time to take two steps before he fell to his knees, soaking in his own blood. And this was like a signal …
Swishswishswish!
Right after this arrow, thousands upon thousands of sharp arrows, flickering with cold light, covered the sky and covered the earth. They were as dense as rain, shooting down from the sky.
Mengshe Zhao's men, Ouzan's men, Tang dynasty's men … Huoshu Huizang's assault had encompassed everyone. The area where Mengshe Zhao's, the Tang dynasty's, and the Ouzan's entanglement formed a rain of arrows.
Regardless of friend or foe, regardless of who was the target, everyone within this range was the target of the attack!
"Ah! … "
Screams resounded over the mountain as countless Mengshe Zhao's, Ouzan's, and Tang people's fell to this sudden volley of arrows.
"Enemy attack!"
"Careful!"
… …
When they realized that the arrows were not coming from the Tang dynasty, but their own camp, all the Mengshe Zhao soldiers who were still entangled were dumbfounded. Shooting at the Tang dynasty's Annam Protectorate soldiers was understandable, but why were they also being targeted?
"What's going on here?"
Soldiers and servants collapsed to the ground, their eyes wide open.
"It's the Turks' Celestial Wolf Bows and Celestial Wolf Arrows!"
"Careful!"
"Dodge!"
On the mountain, all the Annam Protectorate soldiers dodged the attacks of the Ouzan's Celestial Wolf Bows. The attacks behind them also came to a halt.
"Your Majesty, what are the Ouzan's doing? Have they gone mad? "
"Why are they attacking their own people!"
"Damn it, these madmen!"
… …
Seeing the White Stone Legion soldiers falling to their own arrows, the eyes of the Mengshe Zhao generals turned red. The White Stone Legion soldiers had been the main force in this attack. The Ouzan's soldiers on the summit had only brought ten-thousand-some soldiers at most.
The majority of those killed in this attack were Mengshe Zhao's. Moreover, the Ouzan's soldiers wore plate armor, the strongest in the region. Not even the armor of the Tang dynasty's Annam Protectorate could compare, much less the soldiers of Mengshe Zhao.
The Ouzan's soldiers had always been few in numbers, and with the addition of plate armor, the casualties were even lower.
"Your Majesty, allow me to take some men to negotiate with the Ouzan!"
"Otherwise, I can take the army to rescue my brothers!"
… …
The Mengshe Zhao generals were extremely excited to see the casualties on the mountain.
"There's no need!"
Gelofeng waved her sleeves, her expression extremely cold.
"With the White Stone Legion in such a state, it doesn't matter whether we send troops or not. The Ouzan's method is the best one. Only with this method will we have the least casualties. Otherwise, the White Stone Legion will really be wiped out! "
"Ah!"
The group of generals opened their mouths in shock.
"Your Majesty is right. This is indeed the best way now! "
A cold voice suddenly came from behind.
Hearing this voice, the generals fell silent. It was fine if His Majesty said so, but even the Great General said so, which meant that it was probably true.
… …
"Gelofeng is indeed a good partner!"
On the other side, Dalun Ruozan saw that the Mengshe Zhao generals had calmed down very quickly. He smiled and nodded.
Although Gelofeng was ambitious, she had the vision of an ambitious person and could see the essence of the problem at a glance. There were many things that didn't need to be said too much. As a partner and ally, Gelofeng was indeed very suitable.
"Get ready. The probing is over. Next, it's time for the real battle!"
As Dalun Ruozan spoke, he slowly turned his head to look at Huoshu Huizang.
As the saying went, 'Benevolence does not command wealth, and compassion does not command troops'. A general needed a cold heart and always put the bigger picture above all else. Although the battle on the mountain peak seemed unusually intense, for Dalun Ruozan and Huoshu Huizang, it was far from the beginning.
This was all just the foreplay.
After saying this, Dalun Ruozan quickly turned around and walked back. Just as he turned around, a loud and clear voice came from the peak of the mountain far behind him.
"Ready, fire!"
Dalun Ruozan fiercely turned around, just in time to see a volley of arrows descending like locusts. But this time, it was not a dense volley of arrows, nor did it come from the Ouzan army. Rather, it came from the Annam Protectorate on the mountain peak.
"Ah! … "
Screams filled the air as the Mengshe – Ü-Tsang army collapsed at the base of the mountain.
Dalun Ruozan froze for a moment, and then he glanced at that thin figure on the summit, a hint of surprise in his eyes. But he quickly grinned, waved his sleeve, and vanished into the army.
"Congratulations to user! You have killed 7,780 Ouzan soldiers! "
"Congratulations to user! You have killed 69861 Mengshe Zhao soldiers! "
… …
On the summit, a string of voices howled out of Wang Chong's mind. As he gazed at the Mengshe – Ü-Tsang army at the base of the mountain, a faint smile slowly appeared on Wang Chong's lips.
