Bang!
The sight of the blazing golden flame at the center of the battlefield, the motionless deity standing in front of the steel defense line, made the vast sea of Arab cavalry explode into heaven-shaking cheers.
”Qutaybah!”
”Qutaybah!”
”Qutaybah!”
Any of the hundreds of thousands of elite Arab cavalry who saw this sight felt the blood and passion seethe in their bodies. Rumble! The invigorated Arab cavalry immediately began to charge through the gap that Qutaybah had created.
Wang Chong and Gao Xianzhi both grimaced at this sight.
”Everyone, hear my order! Attack!”
Gao Xianzhi's voice resounded over the battlefield. At the same moment, Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, Wang Chong, and Wang Yan all lunged at Qutaybah.
The Arab War God!
Even though the letters from the Khorasani had given a detailed description of his power, it was only now that they were exchanging blows with him that Wang Chong and the others knew just how powerful he really was.
”Ballista soldiers, fire! Aim at the gap!”
”Mo Saber Unit, prepare to enter the field!”
Wang Chong's eyes were red and his skull pounding. He currently felt an unprecedented danger, but there was no time to think. Wang Chong immediately joined Gao Xianzhi and the others in assaulting Qutaybah.
The Arab Governor of War was the origin of the entire crisis. If they couldn't kill or stop him, not even blocking the gap and killing the Arab cavalry charging in would be able to avert their defeat.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The vajra pestle, Stellar Energy chains, Sword Qi, metal fists… all kinds of attacks swept toward Qutaybah. The combined strength of these four was enough to make anyone pale in fright and have any Imperial Great General fleeing for the hills. But the Governor of War managed to block every one of their attacks.
Clangclangclang! The golden sword in Qutaybah's hand moved like a lightning bolt, blocking, deflecting, and slashing. None of the Tang attacks were able to even get close to his body. In this battle of one versus four, Qutaybah even had strength to counterattack. This horrific strength gave everyone an unprecedented shock, and none was more shocked than Wang Chong.
Many things had changed about the Battle of Talas. This was the first time in Wang Chong's life that he had ever clashed with the Arab Governor of War. If he hadn't intervened in Talas, Wang Chong might have gone his entire life without hearing the name 'Qutaybah'.
Too powerful! HIs strength is beyond that of a peak Great General. It's at an even more sublime level. I didn't think that the Arabian Empire would be home to such a powerful foe!
Wang Chong's mind was in absolute turmoil, his astonishment almost impossible to describe with words.
”Lord Marquis, we've come to help you!”
At the most intense moment of battle, the rumbling of hooves filled the sky. The four thousand Wushang Cavalry were riding toward the godlike Qutaybah at incredible speed.
”Cutting Formation!”
With a bellowed order, the Wushang Cavalry switched formations, scattering into several dozen teams.
The Cutting Formation was a branch of the Ten Charges Ten Victories Formation. It was a special formation meant to deal with extremely powerful opponents.
”Stop!”
Wang Chong's expression contorted in shock as he saw the Wushang Cavalry approaching from every direction, his eyes almost bursting apart with rage. Qutaybah was almost inconceivably powerful. This was not an opponent an ordinary Cutting Formation could deal with. The Wushang Cavalry could deal with Brigadier Generals and even ordinary Great Generals, but Qutaybah was beyond their power, was not something they could stop.
Even though Wang Chong had ordered them to stop, his order had come too late. The deaths of Elder Fang and Elder Du had provoked all the Wushang Cavalry, and their eyes were red and their bodies seething with rage.
”Kill!”
”Avenge the elders!”
The thousands of Wushang Cavalry approached as quickly as lightning bolts.
Neigh!
