Chapter 2401 - The Decisive Battle (IX) (2/2)
Ordinary soldiers could not kill the Celestial Army soldiers, but the Shadow Dragon soldiers could.
However, they paid a price for this. Thousands of Shadow Dragon soldiers and Xuanwu Army soldiers died on the front, but even until the very end, none of them retreated.
Seeing that the situation had turned dire, several figures in the rear turned to Wang Zhongsi and Dalon Trinling.
“Milord, what do we do?!”
With Wang Chong gone, everything was decided jointly between the two of them.
The howling winds carried the sounds of distant fighting toward them. While the two of them appeared calm as they surveyed the front, their hearts were also in turmoil.
However, they were quickly able to calm down.
On the battlefield, personal sentiment was the most unnecessary thing.
What humanity needed was victory, not sorrow!
“How are the preparations in the rear?” Wang Zhongsi suddenly said, his expression firm. At this moment, he was as cold as steel, had put away all his emotions. He was once more the ever-victorious and invincible War God of the Great Tang.
He was the commander who was worthy of everyone’s respect!
A deputy general lowered his head and said, “Milord, they can enter the battle at any time.”
But after saying this, Wang Zhongsi said nothing more.
He was waiting for the right moment.
The human soldiers continued to throw themselves into the fray to stop the attack of the Celestial Army. At this moment, time seemed to slow to a crawl, each second lasting for an eternity.
After some time…
Wang Zhongsi’s eyes flashed as he finally spoke. “Pass on my order. Have all soldiers on the front line retreat!”
Bang!
Following Wang Zhongsi’s orders, the Xuanwu Army, the Shadow Dragon Division, the Giant Army, and all the heavy infantry on the front line began to retreat, setting off a major shift in the battlefield.
“They want to retreat?”
Essence Supreme saw this and snapped his fingers, a cold laugh coming from his mouth.
“Pass on my order! Celestial Army, advance! Scatter their defense line!”
The Tang were too simpleminded if they thought that they could just retreat.
Even a three-year-old child would know that in the packed confines of the battlefield, one side retreating meant disaster.
“Kiiill!”
Two million soldiers swept forward in a ceaseless tide.
Five thousand feet!
Seven thousand feet!
Ten thousand feet!
It wasn’t just the army on the front. The entire human army was retreating in the face of the Celestial Army’s offensive, and as more and more Celestial Army soldiers charged into the south, more and more human soldiers were slain.
The human army was on the verge of collapse!
Twelve thousand feet!
Fifteen thousand feet!
Seventeen thousand feet!
……
……
“Hahaha, they can’t hold!”
“Kill! Together!”
A man in black had caught on to what was happening. With a savage laugh, he shot forward. Behind him were tens of thousands of other men in black, doggedly pursuing the retreating human army, moving even faster than the Celestial Army.
“Eighteen thousand feet, nineteen thousand feet…”
In the human army, only Wang Zhongsi, Dalon Trinling, Bahram, Ozmish Khagan, Zhangchou Jianqiong, Gao Xianzhi, An Sishun, and the other Great Generals remained unperturbed. They watched as the Celestial Army drew closer and closer.
Twenty thousand feet!
Once the Celestial Army had advanced twenty thousand feet, Wang Zhongsi’s eyes gleamed with a vicious light.
The entire battlefield changed with it!
“Release!”
With this order, that long-awaited event finally took place.
Swish!
A piercing whistle came from the southern edge of the steppe, to which a man in black instinctively raised his head. On the southern horizon, he saw a flash of light, and then a brilliant fireball streaked across the sky in his direction.
“What’s that?”
That fireball was reflected in his eyes, and at that moment, he couldn’t help but feel curious.
But a moment later, he saw tens of thousands of fireballs.
Countless fireballs were rising up from the rear of that vast army, whistling in the Celestial Army’s direction.
Bang!
One of the fireballs crashed into the Celestial Army and instantly exploded into a sea of fire.
“Kerosene! Kerosene!”
“It’s Arabian Kerosene!”
The man in black immediately realized what this was and yelled in shock, but it was too late.
