At the start, the Tang had all believed that even the strongest Great General would not be able to oppose so many Tang soldiers, but the situation had changed. Thirty thousand elite soldiers and twenty-five thousand bandits turned into ballista soldiers were simply incapable of stopping eight Great Generals.
Wang Yan saw the direction the six massive banners were moving and burst out, ”Their objective is the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner! We should move out as well!”
”Leave Qutaybah to me!” the black-robed Demonic Emperor Old Man said.
”I will take Abu Muslim!” Gao Xianzhi immediately followed.
”Then I will deal with Ziyad!” Cheng Qianli narrowed his eyes.
”Give Duwu Sili and Aybak to me!” Wang Chong said a few moments later.
These words left everyone slightly startled.
Other than with individuals on Qutaybah's level, there actually wasn't a very large gap between Great Generals, but for Wang Chong to take on two of them at once was simply absurd.
But a moment later, everyone calmed back down and did not object.
The short meeting soon came to an end and each person went to deal with their respective opponent.
……
”Dusong Mangpoje, do you remember our plan? This time, no mistake can be permitted! We must strictly stick to the plan!”
In the rear of the army, Dalun Ruozan gazed at the churning clouds of dust and the six enormous banners as he spoke. His eyes were narrowed and his expression extremely grave.
”Understood!”
Dusong Mangpoje gave a slight nod, his voice very soft. He knew what Dalun Ruozan was talking about. In the previous melee of Great Generals, Dalun Ruozan had sent him to deal with Wang Chong, but when Aybak stepped forward to hold down Wang Chong, Dusong Mangpoje hadn't gone searching for other commanders, but become impatient and begun to head toward the area where Qutaybah and the Demonic Emperor Old Man were fighting.
It was precisely this that had caused the army to ultimately be defeated.
If Dusong Mangpoje and Osman had worked together to deal with the black-armored guard, things might have turned out differently.
”Be at ease! There will be no mistake this time!” Dusong Mangpoje gravely said.
”No matter what, I will take vengeance, not just for myself, but for Dayan Mangban as well…”
Dusong Mangpoje muttered these last words so softly that he was the only one who could hear them.
”Hyah!”
Dusong Mangpoje urged his horse into a gallop, vanishing with a trail of dust into the army.
This time, we truly must finish the task in a single stroke. Whether or not we can defeat the Great Tang and emerge victorious in Talas depends on how they perform! Dalun Ruozan said to himself, watching Qutaybah, Abu Muslim, and the others from the rear.
The game had been started, the pieces played, the strategies made. In this war between the Great Tang and Arabia, only one would survive. There would be no further wars. One living would mean the death of another.
……
As the two armies neared, giant, extremely intimidating figures began to rise from the earth. Cheng Qianli, Wang Yan, and Wang Chong had used their renowned God Formations. The Mighty Miracle God, Supreme Desolation God, and Godking Yama rapidly appeared.
Twenty thousand feet, ten thousand feet, five thousand feet! As the distance shrank, the pressure increased, and the stench of war was so thick and cloying that it made one's skull feel numb.
Kacrack!
When both sides were just five thousand feet from each other, a golden beam of Sword Qi swept through the gloomy skies, opening the curtain to this battle.
Hwoooom! Origin Energy swept in from all around, transforming into a massive blue palm that stopped Qutaybah's thunderbolt of a blow. Without the slightest hesitation, the Demonic Emperor Old Man flew through the air to do battle with Qutaybah.
At almost the same time, Gao Xianzhi and Cheng Qianli met with their opponents, but there was someone who was moving much faster than the rest.
”Duwu Sili, I trust you've been well! To what level have you cultivated my formation phenomena?”
