“Release!”
Xu Keyi led the re with the beehives to frenziedly fire at the onco Western Turkic and Tibetan cavalry
Dalun Ruozan’s catapults had been far ainst Xu Keyi’s ballista teaet In those successive rains of stones, forty to fifty ballistae had been destroyed, and a significant portion had been dah the steel catapults on the walls had succeeded in bringing an end to the attacks, the Turkic and Tibetan cavalry had succeeded in reaching the second defense line Xu Keyi could onlyto fire on the enemy soldiers
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Volley after volley of ballista bolts was fired, howling through the air and causing chaos in front of the second defense line Tibetan and Turkic cavalry were dying in droves, their bodies kicking up dust as they were dragged along the ground But in truth, the lethality of Xu Keyi’s assault was far less impressive than it seemed
Dalun Ruozan and Duwu Sili had equipped almost all their cavalry with those round shi+elds, which their soldiers hid behind, pressing their bodies against their horses Thus, the same ballista bolts were made several times less effective
A ballista bolt would only kill four or five, at most six enemy cavalry To an army of one hundred and twenty thousand, this did not even count as a severe wound
“Ready!”
A caletic voice roared over the eastern battlefield Li Siye rode forward on his Ferghana steed and flourished his emblematic Wootz Steel sword As thisCavalry quickly assembled behind him
All of them wore Meteoric Metal armor and wielded Wootz Steel swords In terth, they were at their priest force of cavalry in the history of the Central Plains More importantly, these five thousand cavalry were all extremely disciplined and coordinated, in a way that no other cavalry force could compare
“All soldiers! Prepare for battle!”
The sounds ofcould be heard behind the second defense line Li Siye and his Wushang Cavalry were not the only ones getting ready for battle Sun Zhi, Chi Weisi, and the other elites of Deflecting Blade Manor were lining up with the soldiers of Qixi and theneat squares and rows as they readied for the fight
This Battle of Talas was not the first ti Blade Manor and the side Li Siye, and all of them were prepared to launch a joint assault
ray wolves were rushi+ng over No one kne ht with him, but they seemed endless The beehives would clear a batch, only for them to be replaced by yet another batch In the skies, the vultures continued to give their strange cries as they flew back and forth, up and down But theforce of all was still those tens of thousands of Turkic and Tibetan cavalry
“Kill!!”
The enemy cavalry roared as they increased their speed Neither the beehives nor the ballistae could stop the!
“Charge!”
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Siye aied out fro bolt Cavalry shot forward like a sword leaving its sheath, following Li Siye in his charge
