Boomboomboom!

As the craftsmen continued the repairs, giant ballista bolts howled overhead, the gusts of wind they generated sweeping up the debris on the ground. Bang! A bolt quickly slammed into the forehead of a tiger Behemoth.

After this, twenty-some more giant ballista bolts swiftly followed. This vicious tiger Behemoth howled in extreme pain as its body went stiff and crashed to the ground, crushing several dozen steel walls into pancakes.

And then another one fell, and another…

With piercing howls, more and more Behemoths crashed to the ground.

The Great Tang also did not choose to wrangle with these enormous beings, drawing back its soldiers to minimize losses.

At this time, the Arabs had already lost thirty-seven Behemoths and were still losing more.

However, the focus of attention on the battlefield was not the Behemoths, but the clash at the front line.

”Kill!”

”Kill!”

War cries in Han and Arabic resounded above the steel defense line. Zhangchou Jianqiong and An Sishun had separately led their forces in piercing through the Arab flanks, after which they had smoothly joined forces.

In the entire process, Zhangchou Jianqiong and An Sishun had not even needed to speak to each other.

As two of the illustrious Great Generals of the empire, they possessed insight, experience, and mastery of the art of war far above average. By the time they had stepped onto the battlefield, they had already simulated the battle countless times and understood what they needed to do.

Behind the steel defense line, Gao Xianzhi sent out a powerful mental wave and declared, ”The Arabs have lost!”

Elsewhere, Abusi and Wang Zhongsi nodded.

From the moment Zhangchou Jianqiong and An Sishun had led their armies in piercing through the flanks of the Arab army, they had known what the pair was attempting to achieve.

Being surrounded by the enemy force was a major taboo on the battlefield, but it seemed that the Arab commander had no idea.

Even though Arabia was a powerful country, it was still lacking in terms of tactics compared to the Great Tang.

”Not good!”

In the middle of the Arab army, Apolis suddenly paled as he saw Zhangchou Jianqiong and An Sishun complete the encirclement. But unfortunately, his realization had come too late.

”It's time to begin the harvest!”

”These Arabs are done for!”

As Zhangchou Jianqiong and An Sishun completed their encirclement, their eyes flashed with harsh light. Now that they had joined together, the two commanders immediately launched a full offensive against the surrounded Arab army.

”Kill!”

War cries shook the heavens as the Annan Protectorate army and Beiting Protectorate army charged at the Arabs, their morale soaring to unprecedented levels. Thud! Thud! Thud! The panicked Arab cavalry were cut down like weeds, and everywhere they looked, they could only see the Tang cavalry seething with killing intent.

Some of the Arab cavalry brashly shouted and tried to turn around their horses and charge at the enemy, but they were hindered by their fellow soldiers.

Moreover, once the Annan Protectorate army and Beiting Protectorate army completed their encirclement, the Arab cavalry lost the space to build up enough speed for a charge.

In this sort of large-scale battle, cavalry that was surrounded did not have enough space to charge, making them worse than infantry and essentially sealing their fate. This was why Wang Zhongsi, An Sishun, and Gao Xianzhi had determined that the Arabs had lost.

”Ah!”

Screams tore through the air as great swaths of the Arab ranks were cut down.

They were forced back again and again by the Great Tang's fierce offensive, but behind them were the stalwart ranks of the Tang shield soldiers. The Arabs fell into even greater disarray.
