"Hahaha, you damned ants, all of you can die for me!"
Waves of ferocious laughter reverberated above the army.
Bang! At the same time that the boulder was thrown, the giant leaped out of the huge hole in the ground like an agile monkey. Boom! The two steel-like black arms swung up like a wheel and swept fiercely. Boom! Boom! Boom! Before anyone could react, they heard a series of miserable screams. At the edge of the pit, the twenty to thirty Tang Dynasty cavalry were caught off guard and sent flying like ragdolls.
The green armored giant that descended from the sky did not stop at all. He leaped forward and grabbed a huge green shield that was taller than a person. He swept it back and forth, throwing and sending all the soldiers in front of him flying.
"Organize the defense line!"
"Careful!"
"Surround him with all your strength!"
… …
This scene was so sudden that the troops around the pit were thrown into chaos. Countless soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, Greater and Lesser Balur, and the mercenary tribes of the Western Regions charged forward. But before this terrifying giant, they couldn't even take a single blow.
Rumble! Soldier after soldier, squad after squad, row after row … countless soldiers were swept up like leaves and dust in a sweep, swept away by the eighteen-meter-tall giant. As countless people watched, the giant advanced by leaps and bounds, invincible as it slaughtered its way through the army.
From the moment the meteor fell to the giant's slaughter, the Tang Dynasty had lost at least one hundred soldiers. Let alone the soldiers, even the distant generals Gao Xianzhi, Wang Chong, and Cheng Qianli paled.
"Chen Bin! Ballistae! "
A furious roar came from the front of the defense line. The sight of this invincible giant made Wang Chong's face pale and his heart sink.
The Skyquaking Giant!
Even though none of the surrounding soldiers, including the general in charge, knew where the giant came from, they were all shocked. But Wang Chong immediately recognized it as the famous Skyquaking Army that the Arabs had used in the Battle of Talas.
Wang Chong had not been surprised by the appearance of the Skyquaking Giants. But Wang Chong had never imagined that the Skyquaking Giants would appear on the battlefield of Talas like this. More importantly, there had never been just one Skyquaking Giant, but an entire army!
This also meant that …
Whoooah!
"Look!"
"Not good! Run! "
… …
As if in response to Wang Chong's thoughts, boomboomboom! The earth quaked and rocks and dirt shot out in all directions. Amidst the chaos, giant asteroids blazing with dark green flames began to fall from the sky, smashing into various parts of the army with lightning-fast speed.
Roooar!
Amidst the explosions, the towering Skyquaking Giants roared and raised their arms as they rose from the giant eggs with the momentum of holding up the heavens.
This fierce, tyrannical, and frenzied energy was like a storm that shook every Tang Dynasty soldier.
"Kill them!"
Savage roars resounded through the steel defense line as the Skyquaking Giants began to speak in Arabic. Boom! As if receiving some sort of signal, the Skyquaking Giants scattered throughout the army began to move.
Boomboomboom!
One towering Skyquaking Giant after another rose from the ground. The moment they appeared, they madly attacked the Tang Dynasty soldiers in front of them, all of them madly galloping toward the same destination.
"Ah!"
A scream rang out as a Tang Dynasty horseman was caught off guard and struck by a black iron palm. Both he and his horse flew more than a hundred feet into the air before crashing to the ground several dozen feet away. In that instant, everyone could clearly see that the palms of the giants, when spread open, were actually larger than a horse.
"Get out of my way!"
At the same time, another giant kicked out with his foot. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Ten-some cavalry were sent flying into the air.
In a few short moments, seven or eight Skyquaking Giants had thrown the Tang Dynasty formation into chaos.
Bang!
A massive black ballista bolt flew through the air, shooting toward a Skyquaking Giant. But in a flash of light, there was a boom as the dark green shield in the Skyquaking Giant's hand blocked that ballista bolt that could destroy all obstacles and was the nightmare of cavalry.
"Careful of those ballista soldiers! Kill them! "
The Skyquaking Giant stomped a foot on a corpse and gave a heaven-shaking roar.
Boom! Before anyone could react, the giant suddenly bent down, grabbed a robust horse corpse, and tossed it over fiercely. There was a massive boom and an explosion of energy as a ballista several dozen zhang away was struck by the corpse of a horse. The ballista and five ballista soldiers screamed as they were thrown into the air.
With this Skyquaking Giant's example, the other giants began to follow suit. They grabbed whatever they could use around them, boulders, human corpses, horse corpses, and threw them over. Boomboomboom! One important ballista after another of the Tang Dynasty's ballistae was smashed to pieces, and the ballista soldiers suffered grievous losses.
And this was only the prelude. One Skyquaking Giant after another curled up into a ball of burning dark green eggs that were hurled down from the sky by the catapults.
Twenty, thirty, fifty … the Skyquaking Giants fell like meteors, covering almost the entire army.
Roooar! Roooar!
The savage roars of the giants resounded through the sky as the situation suddenly became extremely grim, extremely disadvantageous to the Tang Dynasty.
Not only that, as these giants attacked the Tang soldiers, they were also rapidly moving in the same direction, running with large strides.
"Not good! Their target is the giant ballistae! "
A worried voice rang out in everyone's ears. As the commanders of the ballista army and the true controllers of the two giant ballistae, Chen Bin and Xu Keyi were the first to notice that something was wrong.
From their vantage point, all of the giants, no matter where they had fallen, began to approach the two giant ballistae the moment they rose to their feet.
The giant ballistae were no longer simple weapons or armaments. Although the City of Talas had around one hundred thousand soldiers, these two giant ballistae were the only weapons other than Wang Chong, Gao Xianzhi, Wang Yan, and Cheng Qianli that could harm the four Behemoths. From a certain perspective, they were even more effective than the attacks of Great Generals.
Without these two giant ballistae, the Tang Dynasty would be in grave danger.
It was clear that the Arabs had realized this, which was why they had dropped the giants over to attack the giant ballistae.
"Stop them!"
"Protect the giant ballistae! Don't let them get close! "
"The giants aren't invincible! Everyone, get into formation and work together to deal with them!"
A series of shouts rang out from all directions. With the giants at the center, the surrounding infantry, cavalry, archers, axemen … all the soldiers began to move. Everyone was well aware of the importance of the giant ballistae to the army, so the moment they understood the giants' goal, all the soldiers went into a frenzy.
Although the giants were extremely strong and could even pick up a horse with their five fingers, the giants were still considered humans, and all the cavalry that gathered here were not ordinary cavalry.
Tens of thousands of cavalry gathered together could even deal with a Great General, let alone a few giants!
"Kill!"
Amidst the earth-shattering battle cries, waves of soldiers rushed towards the giants like a tidal wave. At the same time, at least half of the three thousand ballistae turned to aim at the Skyquaking Giants within the defense line. Boomboomboom! Long black ballista bolts flew through the air like dragons at the Skyquaking Giants.
"Roooar! Defend! "
A Skyquaking Giant with a thick red beard suddenly bellowed. Bzzz! The charging Skyquaking Giants suddenly slowed down and took up defensive stances.
Bzzz! The charging Skyquaking Giants suddenly slowed down and took up defensive stances. Bangbangbang! The long ballista bolts shot forward like lightning bolts, but the Skyquaking Giants used their dark green armor to block them.
Plush! On the outermost edge of the battlefield, a Skyquaking Giant was caught off guard, and a long ballista bolt pierced through a chink in his armor and into his chest. But the Skyquaking Giant acted as if nothing had happened. His right hand grabbed the end of the bolt and pulled, tearing out a large chunk of flesh and skin.
An ordinary human would have died from such an attack, but the Skyquaking Giants were only slightly weakened, the flames of life still burning in their bodies.
Although the Skyquaking Giants could not compare to the Behemoths in terms of vitality, they were still extremely powerful!
"Split up! Split into three groups to deal with the ballistae. The rest of you, get rid of those two ballistae! "
The red-bearded giant bared his teeth and savagely roared as he swiftly took up a countermeasure. To the astonishment of everyone, these seemingly brawny and simple-minded Skyquaking Giants began to work together under the command of the red-bearded giant. A group of Skyquaking Giants bent their knees and raised their shields, using their armor to block the attacks while using the rocks and corpses around them to fire back at the ballistae. At the same time, they swept away the Tang soldiers charging at them.
Screams and flesh flew through the air. Each Skyquaking Giant was a killing machine, constantly killing the Tang Dynasty soldiers around them.
