”Kill!”
The heavens resounded as more Arab cavalry who did not know the truth of the situation charged forward. Everyone came back to their senses and the fighting once more became cruel and callous.
”This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Ziyad muttered to himself from beneath the fluttering black war banner, completely dumbfounded by what he had seen. The Fearless Army had built up its reputation on vicious battlefields through the terrifying skill of its soldiers. Those powerful foes that had long ago been turned into departed souls served as proof of the Fearless Army's power.
But now, the Fearless Army was being completely suppressed, and this was while they outnumbered their foe. No one had ever imagined that this could be possible.
Almost instinctively, Ziyad looked to Abu Muslim.
Abu Muslim was silent. His back was as straight as ever, but Ziyad could sense that the shock in his heart was no less than his own.
Abu Muslim turned to Governor Osman and said, ”Osman, send your Beheader Army and Tiber Army!”
”Mm!”
Osman immediately nodded. After working with Abu Muslim for so many years, he had developed a keen understanding of his old friend. The Arabs never worshiped individual courage, but placed utmost priority on defeating the enemy. These Tang top-class armies were inconceivably powerful. In this situation, they could only rely on numbers to overcome their opponents.
Osman turned his head to a deputy and ordered, ”Pass on my order! Deploy the Beheader Army and Tiber Army!”
”Yes!”
The deputy bowed and quickly left. A few moments later, dust billowed into the air as the two armies surged toward the front.
Once the Tiber Army and Beheader Army had been deployed, Abu Muslim fell quiet for a few moments, and then he turned his eyes to the Governor of War, Qutaybah.
Tap! A moment later, as Osman, Aybak, and Ziyad solemnly watched, Abu Muslim strode forward and began to walk toward Qutaybah.
”Lord Qutaybah, can I trouble you to deploy your Blood Beast Army and Death Army?”
To everyone's surprise, Abu Muslim gave Qutaybah a respectful bow.
Everyone knew about Qutaybah's relationship with Abu Muslim, and it certainly was no genial one. Not long ago, the two had even quarreled. No one had expected that Abu Muslim would actually bow to Qutaybah at a time like this. He was clearly indicating that he was conceding and submitting himself.
Even more surprising was Qutaybah's attitude.
”Very well!” Qutaybah said as he looked at the battlefield, his voice abnormally gentle. Unexpectedly, he did not use this opportunity to taunt Abu Muslim.
Behind him, Osman, Aybak, Ziyad, and everyone else were dumbstruck.
Rumble!
No matter how shocked they were, the Blood Beast Army and Death Army quickly went into motion and charged off into the battlefield.
Wang Chong immediately noticed when the Beheader Army, Tiber Army, Blood Beast Army, and Death Army moved out, and issued his own order.
”Roaring Tiger Army, Divine Prison Army, Ultimate Martial Army, Xuanwu Army—all of you, get ready!”
”This subordinate will go!”
A string of replies came from behind him, and the earth rumbled as these armies began to head for the front.
The battle came far more quickly than expected. A few moments later, the third top-class Arab army arrived on the battlefield. The Tiber Army was one of the best forces under Governor Osman's command. Last time, their opponent had been the Mo Saber Unit, but their opponent would be different this time.
Bang!
As the Tiber Army appeared, an army rapidly marched out from the first defense line.
Clangclangclang! Countless weapons clashed in the air, producing innumerable sparks. The third army Wang Chong had sent was the most offensively-oriented one, the Divine Prison Army. Sword Qi ran rampant and they immediately began to inflict serious and unexpected losses amongst the Tiber Army.
The Divine Prison Army had always had extremely fierce and swift attacks, but its weakness had been its insufficient defense. Thus, in yesterday's battle, the Divine Prison Army had taken more losses than were to be expected. But now, the Divine Prison Army was bolstered by six halos that filled in this weakness.
