Chapter 2163: The Frightening Defenses of the Shield Carts!

“Bastard!”
An Lushan’s body shivered at Gao Shang’s words.
“Divine Works Elder, what did the Venerable Genesis Supreme say? When will he arrive at the battlefield?”
An Lushan suddenly turned to the Divine Works Elder.
Genesis Supreme had given him a black flute, but he could only passively receive and could not use it to get in touch with Genesis Supreme. If he wanted to get in touch with the man, he would have to rely on the Divine Works Elder.
After all, the two of them belonged to the same organization, and the Divine Works Elder had come on Genesis Supreme’s recommendation.
It had been Genesis Supreme’s idea to start the war early, but he himself had not appeared. However, if Genesis Supreme did intervene, the war would be much easier.
“Sir, don’t be impatient. Venerable Genesis Supreme promised you that he would make it in time and personally take action, so he will. Sir merely needs to quietly wait,” the Divine Works Elder breezily replied.
An Lushan’s face darkened.
Make it in time?
He had said the same thing three days ago, when he had last asked the question, but there was still no exact time!
If he weren’t so apprehensive about Genesis Supreme and the men in black, he would have truly slain this man already.
An Lushan suppressed his rage and turned to Tian Qianzhen.
“Tian Qianzhen, how long until the Great Tang’s primary force arrives?”
Tian Qianzhen lowered his head and respectfully said, “Master, the Tang army is marching at full speed. I estimate that they should arrive in one day.”
Even though the alliance army was cut off from Cang Province and Ying Province by the steel fortress and were unable to enter the Central Plains, it still had many spies in the Tang interior that were able to provide Youzhou with a constant stream of useful information.
“Very good!”
An Lushan gave a slight nod.
He would have been able to delay another day to wait for Genesis Supreme, but out of consideration for the fact that Zhangchou Jianqiong, the Wushang Cavalry, and the other elite armies of the Great Tang had yet to arrive, An Lushan decided to start the war early.
“We’ll just have to see if we can take this steel fortress within a day!”
An Lushan quickly turned his attention to the other side.
The alliance army, bolstered by numerous halos, approached the steel fortress with astonishing speed.
The distance was shrinking!
The air within the fortress had long ago become saturated with tension.
“Your Highness!”
Su Hanshan looked gravely at Wang Chong.
“Decide on your own. I leave this matter to you!” Wang Chong confidently said.
The current situation looked extremely grim for the Great Tang, with the ballista army completely suppressed. Even so, Wang Chong trusted Su Hanshan.
Su Hanshan was one of the most dazzling general stars of the apocalyptic era, and Wang Chong believed in his ability to handle this situation.
“Mm.”
Su Hanshan firmly nodded and quickly turned to command the ballista army.
“Get ready!”
“Yes!”
With a metallic boom, tens of thousands of ballista bolts were fired from the walls.
Boomboomboom!
In a terrific din, the ballista bolts collided into the front row of shield carts, but the same thing happened. The normally unstoppable ballistae had been rendered completely ineffective.
“The Great Tang’s ballistae have been crippled!”
“They can’t do anything to us!”
The Youzhou soldiers behind the shield carts excitedly yelled at this development.
“Brothers, charge!”
“Today is the day we make a name for ourselves! Today is the day we all become nobles!”
“Master has decreed that the first to mount the walls will be awarded one hundred thousand taels of gold and be made a hereditary marquis!”
The alliance army was also stimulated and accelerated.
“Ballista army, hear my orders! Three-team volley fire!
