”Have the Dragon Stallion Army get ready. In addition, inform the Ultimate Martial Army to be ready to enter the battle at any moment!” Wang Chong suddenly said.
”Yes! Your subordinate will go!”
Xu Keyi immediately turned his horse around and galloped off.
Seconds ticked by as everyone continued to wait.
The skeletal god of death on its black banner was getting closer and closer, held high from out of a cloud of churning dust. In the howling wind, Wang Chong quietly sat upon his White-hoofed Shadow, his expression composed and maintaining a state of absolute calm.
The sounds of fighting continued unabated, with people dying at every second.
The battle had entered a state of eerie calm, but this calm could be shattered at any moment and bring on an even more intense melee. The Great Tang could not lose here and the Arabia also could not accept a defeat. This battle was vital to the morale of both sides and to their future battles.
The massive war banner of the Great Tang snapped in the wind, and beneath this banner, Wang Chong slowly surveyed the battlefield.
On the left flank, the Xuanwu Army was still fighting with the Beheader Army. The two sides had similar numbers and similar strength, making an outcome nigh impossible in the short term. Far on the other side, the intervention of the Divine Martial Army, Divine Prison Army, Iron Wall Army, and Roaring Tiger Army had brought to a halt those more than one thousand silver siege weapons that were threatening the Tang defense line.
Nearly twenty thousand of the Great Tang's finest soldiers were gathered in this area. Any Arab cavalry that dared to approach this region would only face death.
Elsewhere, the five thousand ballistae were completely suppressing the Arab Earth Shield Army. In every moment, an Arab Earth Shield soldier would be shot down by the concentrated fire of ballistae, his shield exploding into smithereens. The intense fire of the ballista army made it impossible for the Arab cavalry to approach the steel defense line through this method.
On the right flank, Chen Bin was commanding his one thousand Tang ballistae in constant attack.
”Release!”
Chen Bin's Wootz Steel sword was constantly swinging down, each volley sending countless bolts shooting toward the Arab cavalry, toppling countless Arabian warhorses amid clouds of dust and plaintive neighs.
Farther along the defense line, countless Arab cavalry were charging forward.
”Release!”
With shrill whistles, the numerous beehives stationed on the steel walls fired hundreds of thousands of short arrows, so many that they blotted out the sun. Each Arab horseman was fired upon by sixty to seventy arrows. Blood gushed out from them as these elite horsemen fell to the ground as pincushions.
For the time being, it would be difficult to determine the outcome between the elite armies of Arabia and the Great Tang. But Wang Chong had to consider the reality of the vast sea of Arab cavalry.
”Li Siye, Xi Yuanqing, Gangke King, pass on my order. Prepare to lead the Mo Saber Unit into battle!” Wang Chong said without turning his head.
”Yes!”
Li Siye, Xi Yuanqing, and the Gangke King confirmed their orders and left.
Li Siye was originally the commander of the Wushang Cavalry, but ever since Cui Piaoqi had arrived with the second group of Wushang Cavalry, Wang Chong had merged the two forces and had Cui Piaoqi command the combined force. One of the strongest war generals serving Wang Chong in the apocalyptic era had finally returned to his service.
As for Li Siye, in another time and space, he had always been the highest commander of the Mo Saber Unit. And it was only Li Siye's fearless and loyal heart that could unite the will of the Mo Saber Unit and have it display its maximum power.
Rumble! As time slowly passed, an unnerving rumbling began to fill the air.
The ten thousand Death Army soldiers marched in orderly formation from behind the silver war machines. The earth trembled, the stones on the ground almost jumping into the air from how intensely they quivered.
Even before the Death Army had arrived on the battlefield, a somber and icy aura of death surged out and flooded the battlefield.
This aura was so thick that even the soldiers fighting could sense it.
”It's the Death Army! Milord has dispatched them.”
The first to sense this aura were the soldiers of the Blood Beast Army, who were in the middle of fighting the Divine Martial Army. This was not their first time fighting alongside the Death Army.
This powerful army surpassed the top-class armies of the enemy side and was enough to break this present stalemate.
Clang!
At almost the same time, the crisp cry of swords being unsheathed could be heard from behind the steel defense line.
