Bang! Bang! Bang! A shield soldier on the left flank immediately became the target of concentrated attacks. While he was used to the frequency of such attacks, this time was completely different.
Each Arab horseman was clearly much stronger than before.
Plush! The shield soldier vomited blood. He clenched his teeth and tried to hold, but blood was beginning to appear across his arm. Those were ruptured blood vessels. The excessive pressure in so little time had broken open his blood vessels, and soon, blood was spraying everywhere.
But even worse…
A few seconds later, his giant shield was like a small boat in the middle of a storm, shuddering and swaying so much that it seemed like it could overturn at any moment.
”Not good! Hold!”
The officers immediately sensed that something was wrong and exhorted their men to hold fast.
There were far too many Arab soldiers, and the area that needed to be defended was far too great. At Talas, the Great Tang had been able to use steel walls to block off avenues of attack, but here, they needed to use shield soldiers to hold the gaps.
If the shield soldiers could not hold, not only would the God's Ordained Cavalry penetrate into the central army of the Great Tang, the left flank and right flank would also collapse, and the entire army would be routed!
No one could bear the responsibility for this result!
”Ballista army, release!”
The first to realize the danger and respond was Su Hanshan. With a swing of his arm, the air thundered. Tens of thousands of ballista bolts howled through the air, and a row of Arab cavalry was instantly slain.
But none of this was capable of stopping the maddened tide of Arab cavalry.
”For His Majesty!”
”For Arabia!”
”Conquer the east!”
Frenzied war cries resounded through the air. The appearance of the Moon God Tree had sent a surge of majestic energy into their bodies. It had not only made them stronger, it had also influenced their mental state.
The Arab cavalry cast aside any thought for their own bodies and heedlessly threw themselves into battle. It was like there was nothing that they could not overcome!
This is bad!
Gao Xianzhi's heart sank. He could see that there were many places on the front line where the shield soldiers could no longer hold and were beginning to retreat or fall. And in the center, with the boost from the Moon God Tree, the God's Ordained Cavalry had also gotten rapidly stronger and was beginning to suppress the Nine Dragon Army!
The Nine Dragon Army was a collection of the elite strength from all of the Great Tang's protectorates. If not even they could hold out, the morale of the army would be destroyed, and the army would collapse like a line of dominoes.
”Hmph!”
Wang Chong's expression chilled. Thump! As if it had sensed his thoughts, the White-hoofed Shadow suddenly stomped forward. Boom! A dazzling light erupted and swept over the battlefield like a storm, ignoring the Tang army but swiftly attaching itself to the vast sea of Arab soldiers. A few moments later, the halos under hundreds of thousands of Arab soldiers instantly dimmed and began to flicker like candles.
”Aaaah!”
The Arabs began to cry out in alarm. After surging forward unstoppably with the power of the Moon God Tree, they dissolved into chaos. None of them understood what was going on, why their strength had suddenly plunged so much.
”It's the commander!”
”The commander took action!”
Cheers came from the Great Tang side, as the pressure they faced instantly decreased. More importantly, after Wang Chong's numerous victories and many feats, even the soldiers of the various protectorates had come to understand that the King of Foreign Lands possessed two halos that could weaken his enemies.
From the scene before them, this was undoubtedly the legendary Bane of the Battlefield Halo!
”King of Foreign Lands!”
”King of Foreign Lands!”
The cheers resounded across the battlefield!
On the other side, Wang Chong continued to coldly stare at the battlefield.
Bang!
