“These scoundrels still haven’t given up!”

Within the fortress, beneath the giant banner, Abusi slightly frowned.

Wang Chong looked ahead and coldly said, “They will not give up, nor can they give up. When rowing a boat upstream, you fall back if you stop moving forward. With the cold wave coming, they have nowhere to retreat!”

Ever since the forty thousand infantry had withdrawn into the fortress and the city assault had begun, the commanders had withdrawn into the fortress.

They were generals, so their most important duty was not to fight with the vanguard but to oversee the overall battlefield situation.

Now that the battle had begun, the two of them no longer needed to be at the front.

“Wang Chong, do you think that they can break through your defenses?” Abusi questioned.

After working together several times, he was extremely confident in Wang Chong’s abilities.

Each of Wang Chong’s defenses reaped more lives when they were triggered. For the alliance army to attack at this time was simply suicidal.

“We can’t get careless!”

Wang Chong shook his head and solemnly said, “Although Youzhou doesn’t have any renowned generals, they cannot be underestimated!”

Wang Chong had never underestimated any of his opponents. Even when killing chickens, he would use the bull knife.

The Youzhou commanders, whether it was Cui Qianyou, Tian Chengsi, Tian Qianzhen, Zhao Kan, Baizhen Tuoluo, or Gao Shang, were all basically unknown in the Great Tang and the wider world.

This was why Abusi had asked the question.

But Wang Chong knew that none of these people were mediocre.

A lack of reputation did not mean a lack of strength. In his last life, An Lushan had led these men in sweeping unstoppably through the world, bringing calamity to the people and breaking apart the Great Tang. If they had been lacking strength, they would have never been able to do this!

In truth, during the calamity, many Great Generals had failed to do anything to them, even died to them. This was proof enough of their power.

Cui Qianyou, Tian Qianzhen, and Tian Chengsi had another title that they were known by: ‘demon stars’, ‘demon generals’!

Gao Shang, Cui Qianyou, Tian Chengsi, and Tian Qianzhen were the four demon generals of the apocalypse.

And Gao Shang, even though he was a scholar, was ranked above Cui Qianyou and the other generals.

Without this man, many things would not have taken place.

“If my guess is right, the Youzhou side has already found a solution!” Wang Chong said, but his face did not seem very perturbed.

While kerosene was very flammable, it was not impossible to deal with. As for the beehives, they were just a kind of weapon. Given the abilities on the Youzhou side, they would find a solution eventually.

Wang Chong was actually rather curious to see what their solution would be.

“Zhang Que, how long until Lord Zhangchou arrives?” Wang Chong suddenly said.

There was one other matter that Wang Chong was extremely concerned about.

“Your Highness, they will be here in another eight to ten hours!” Zhang Que said.

“And what is the progress on the ‘Storm Plan’?” Wang Chong said, placing his hands behind his back.

“Your Highness, Xue Qianjun has sent a letter that everything is ready and that they will arrive on time!

“In addition, the Lord Junior Guardian is also ready and is waiting for Your Highness’s order!”

Zhang Que lowered his head and bowed.

“Very good!”

Wang Chong gave a slight nod.

“Proceed according to the plan!”

During this brief conversation, the horns blared and drums boomed. The army once more began to approach, but at a much slower pace this time.

Seven thousand feet, six thousand feet, five thousand feet…

The distance rapidly shrank, and the alliance army once more entered the Great Tang’s attack range. At this moment…

Bang!

A thunderous boom came from overhead, and a completely frozen sheep plummeted from the sky like a boulder and smashed into the ground in front of the army.

The impact caused snow and kerosene to splash out, and the frozen sheep caused the force of the fire to somewhat diminish.

Boom! Boom! Boom! More and more frozen sheep hurtled out of the sky and smashed into the sea of fire.

Plush! Plush! Plush! Arrows howled out, but the interception of the arrows was not as useful this time. The frozen sheep did not crumble apart like the boulders, instead continuing their descent into the ground.

Sensing this, Wang Chong slightly frowned.

Not even Wang Chong had thought about using sheep to replace rocks.
