Chapter 902: The Iron Beast Army!

"Fire!"

Boomboomboom!

The thick ballista bolts howled through the air, a furious downpour enveloping the earth . In a flash, the stench of death grew a hundred times stronger . Ballistae! The Great Tang's most powerful weapon and its most powerful tool for dealing with groups . In w.a.n.g Chong's hands, these weapons were essentially the scythes of death itself .

In the first clash with Umar on the eastern side of the battlefield, the more than seventy thousand Arab soldiers had been completely crushed by the might of the ballistae .

A volley from fifteen hundred ballistae could bury ten thousand Arab cavalry . This was their terrifying might!

Rooar! A savage shout came from the distant Khaled, a ferocity in his eyes .  Boom! A pitch-black halo suddenly exploded from Khaled's body, rapidly expanding . When it hit the ground, it instantly transformed into two black-red war halos .

The moment these two halos appeared, an invisible energy began to spread over the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Iron Beast Army . In the blink of an eye, they all instantly swelled in strength as a metallic l.u.s.ter enveloped them . Not only that, miniature black-red war halos appeared under their feet, boosting their strength .

The Iron Beast Halo!

The Dark Blood s.h.i.+eld!

Khaled had immediately used the two powerful halos upon which he had made his reputation . Unlike other Arab generals, Khaled possessed two extremely high-cla.s.s war halos . The first could greatly boost the strength and toughness of all metal pieces on his soldiers, including their armor, making them like iron beasts . This halo also served as the origin of the name of the army that Khaled commanded .

As for the second, the Dark Blood s.h.i.+eld, it allowed the Arab warriors under Khaled's command to meld their energy with their horses, transforming the blood energy within them into a s.h.i.+eld that would fuse with their armor and further strengthen its defensive capabilities .

These two powerful halos allowed Khaled's Iron Beast Army to sweep unstoppably through the battlefield .

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The long ballista bolts exploded forward, each one accurately aimed at a soldier of the Iron Beast Army . But then, a shocking scene occurred . Extremely st.u.r.dy blood-red s.h.i.+elds floated up from the Iron Beast Army . The ballista bolts pierced through these s.h.i.+elds, continuing onward to strike the Iron Beast Army .

But after piercing through only one soldier, these ballista bolts that could normally pierce through seven or eight, drawing a line of carnage through enemy forces, had their speed and power greatly reduced . It was like they had not shot through a body of flesh and blood, but human-shaped steel .

Boomboomboom! Once the first round of ballista bolts had been fired, the Iron Beast Army was not in the expected disarray . Of the tens of thousands of soldiers, only around one thousand had been felled, and some of them had even managed to avoid a fatal blow and survive the volley .

"How could this be?"

Chen Bin's expression contorted at this sight . Turning his head, he saw that all the ballista teams were in a similar state of shock .

The entire world knew of the power of the Great Tang ballistae . These were the harvesting tools used by the G.o.ds of death . In their first encounter with the Arabs, the three thousand ballistae had cut down tens of thousands of Arab cavalry . However, in that salvo just now, each ballista bolt had only been able to shoot through three people at most before their energy was spent . Such a situation had never occurred before .

For a moment, all the ballista team members were quiet, so shocked that they were powerless to speak .

"…I forgot to tell you, Khaled's Iron Beast Army has an extremely terrifying defense . While defending the city, our ballistae also fired on them, but the effects were extremely limited . A good portion of the Arab soldiers scaling the walls were Khaled's Iron Beast soldiers . Lord Protector-General consumed a great deal of Stellar Energy while battling with them at the gate, allowing Abu Muslim to heavily injure him . "

Cheng Qianli walked out from the rear, his hair blowing in the fierce wind .

This was a force dispatched by Abu Muslim, and each soldier had astonis.h.i.+ng strength and presented a formidable foe to the Anxi Protectorate army . This battle was far more difficult than could be imagined .

"Vice Protector-General, there is no need for such concern . These are just brutes, not worth fearing . And don't we still have General Xi?"

w.a.n.g Chong waved his hand, his expression calm and relaxed .

This Beast of Arabia was truly formidable . w.a.n.g Chong had never seen the power of ballistae being so severely reduced from the influence of just two halos . But even the strongest beast was still a beast, and w.a.n.g Chong had many methods to deal with him . However, the Qixi Protectorate army was much stronger now, so battles at this level did not require his personal intervention .

"Ready!"

At this moment, Chen Bin's eyes flashed, and he immediately issued his second order .

"All soldiers, hear my order! Adjust the angle! Target the horse legs! At the joints! Fire!"

Chen Bin quickly decided to alter his target . Instead of targeting the Iron Beast Army directly, he chose to target the legs of their horses .

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three rows of ballistae began to engage in volley fire, five hundred ballistae to a volley, filling the sky with a constant rain of ballista bolts . These ballista bolts were fired at a much lower target, and the earth began to shake and boom as this wave of ballista bolts swiftly proved effective .  Neeeigh! Horses cried out as their legs were snapped, and many soldiers of the Iron Beast Army were thrown to the ground in clouds of dust .

Khaled's Iron Beast Halo and Dark Blood s.h.i.+eld could defend against the volley fire of the ballistae, but they could not defend the weak leg joints of the horses . To the dreadful power of the ballistae, these joints were so weak that they might as well have been made of paper .  Bangbangbang! The thousands of ballista bolts filled the sky, each ballista bolt punching through twenty to thirty horse legs .

The vigorous charge of the Iron Beast Army instantly fell into chaos, warhorse cras.h.i.+ng into warhorse, soldier colliding with soldiers, and the air was soon filled with the cries of horses and furious shouts . Moreover, once Khaled's Iron Beast Army fell into chaos, the Arab cavalry charging up from the rear also had their advance impeded . Some of the cavalry, unable to stop in time, even found themselves smas.h.i.+ng headlong into the soldiers of the Iron Beast Army .

Thuds and bangs rang out of the churning dust as the entire battlefield fell into disarray .

While Chen Bin's ballista army had not been able to kill any soldiers of the Iron Beast Army in this wave, the small alteration had achieved a goal that multiple volleys could not achieve . In addition, the Iron Beast Army had essentially been crippled by this a.s.sault .

"How could this sort of thing happen!"

This unexpected development turned Khaled's pride to fury . A savage expression formed on his face as he stared at his soldiers on the ground . In the first volley, he had only suffered around a thousand losses, but the second round of exactly the same ballista bolts had wiped out his army, killing all his warhorses .

An Iron Beast Army without warhorses had its strength cut in half . They were nothing more than unusually formidable infantry, nothing like the unstoppable and invincible army they once were .

"Fire!"

Chen Bin's voice rang out, his expression cold as he once more gave an order . The target this time was no longer the warhorses, but the thousands upon thousands of now-unhorsed Iron Beast soldiers .

"d.a.m.n it! I'll tear you to pieces!" Khaled bellowed, his body bursting with savagery as he urged his horse forward . Together with his black-red halos, he shot like a meteor toward the Tang defense line .

While Khaled was thunderously charging to the defense line, w.a.n.g Chong had already turned his horse around and begun to ride toward the second defense line . No matter how ferocious Khaled was, he was just one man . In w.a.n.g Chong's view, when those tens of thousands of soldiers of the Iron Beast Army were brought to the ground, his aim had been achieved .

Now, no matter how formidable the Arabs were, they would need a significant amount of time to break through the firm Tang defenses .

Now it's time for the Turks and Tibetans .

With this thought, w.a.n.g Chong turned his eyes to the east .  Awoooo! The mournful howls of wolves reached his ear as the situation on the eastern battlefield underwent an astonis.h.i.+ng change . As the sun continued rise from the east, thousands upon thousands of gray wolves surged out from behind the Tibetan and Turkic cavalry .

These ma.s.sive wolves had their teeth bared and were traveling with incredible speed . In a few moments, they had roared past the cavalry in a furious wave . w.a.n.g Chong could see wolves wherever he looked .

Turkic wolves!

w.a.n.g Chong's mind whirred as he swept his eyes past the plain and toward the hills on the other side . Beneath that ma.s.sive banner of the golden wolf, w.a.n.g Chong saw that dazzling and sharp-eyed figure . Only the Celestial Wolf Great General Duwu Sili of the Western Turkic Khaganate was capable of bringing so many wolves with him .

Caw!

Before one wave had even settled, another wave rose . Right behind this ma.s.sive wolf pack, strange cries like those of bawling infants came down from the skies . w.a.n.g Chong raised his head and saw a ma.s.sive dark cloud of Tibetan vultures, a veritable army flying toward the second defense line .

And their goal… was surprisingly the ballista teams on the ground!
