Chapter 951: Behemoths, Derrorists, and Destroyers!
Chapter 951
Abmu/Sling didn't speak, looking at the two even larger beasts, and a faint thought crossed his mind. In the history of the Empire, there are indeed two behemoths that have become famous and have been imprinted in the minds of the people of the conquered lands like nightmares, so that they have not dared to resist them until now.
But wherever the two behemoths passed, all the prosperity was gone, leaving only destruction and death, and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of living beings:
"These two behemoths are the Dreads and the Destroyers?"
Abmu/Sling's eyelids jumped, and their expressions finally changed a little.
"Not bad!"
Mycil nodded proudly. The names of these two giant beasts are legendary in the entire Great Food Empire, and there is no need for him to explain too much. As long as you know their names, there is no one who does not talk about the tiger's color change and is frightened.
As for Abmuth/Lim's reaction, Mesil was quite satisfied.
"Let's get started!"
Mysiel turned his head and gave orders to the rear. Bang, with the sound of the hot whip, the earthquake trembled, and the two behemoths that had stopped slowly moved again. Thousands of great cannibals faded to the sides like a tidal wave, making way for the two behemoths.
And in the eyes of everyone, the two giant beasts that were originally leaning together, and the giant beasts that were not far apart were slowly separated. The hippopotamus-shaped scaly beast slowly aimed at the two steel lines in the distance, while the second boar's giant beast, with its scarlet, tyrannical blood, was aimed at the tall, majestic city of Talas in the distance.
"Buzz!"
Only this small change immediately attracted the attention of Datang in the distance, and the army was suddenly in a commotion.
"My lord, the Great Cannibals are on the move! And the city of Talas is also among their targets, if the city of Talas is breached, we are afraid it will be difficult for us to resist!"
Behind the defensive line, Xue Qianjun turned his head to look at Wang Chong, looking very uneasy.
He is not a military general who will easily panic, but this battlefield with mythical beasts has completely surpassed imagination. If the big cannibals are allowed to break through the city wall, it means that the Tang Dynasty has not yet carried out a large-scale decisive battle, and it has already lost its last fortress and reliance in the first place.
The city of Talas had all the baggage and food, and all the craftsmen inhabited it in times of war, and if they lost the city defenses, they would lose a lot. Not only that, but if the city of Talas is broken, the two steel lines of defense will be useless, and the big cannibals will have another direction of attack.
And if it goes further, the front and back sides of the city of Talas are pierced, and the Great Cannibals and the Western Turks and Usti-Tibetans can completely open up the rendezvous. Wang Chong's strategy of establishing a steel defense line and separating the two enemies would have completely failed.
The three empires are united and join forces, which is absolutely a catastrophe for Datang!
"Wang Chong, the situation is not good! With our energy, there is no way to deal with two giant beasts at the same time!"
Gao Xianzhi also spoke, and the god of war in the Western Regions, who was like a sea god needle, also revealed a nervous look. The four of them gathered the strength of the army, cast the incarnation of the gods, tried their best, and it still took a long time to kill the rhino-shaped giant beast, and they also lost nearly 10,000 troops in the process.
Now that two giant beasts have appeared, and the strength of the four is scattered, I am afraid that the army will suffer even more casualties.
"There can't be any more large-scale casualties, otherwise the morale of the army will completely collapse!!"
Cheng Qianli also showed a trace of apprehension and unease.
He has experienced many tragic battles, but no matter how dangerous the war, he knows that he will definitely win, and he has survived them. But this one, he really doesn't know what the ending will be, and whether he can get through it!
"Zhang Shouzhi, how is the heavy giant crossbow, how long will it take to get ready?"
Wang Zheng suddenly spoke, his heart fluctuating.
"Not yet! The Heavy Giant Crossbow is just an idea, we haven't tried it before, and we don't know if we can succeed, let alone deal with the Behemoth. Everything needs to be adjusted, and there is simply not enough time now!"
Zhang Shouzhi said loudly. His ears and sideburns, and his silver-white hair danced constantly.
The air currents blowing from the western battlefield were getting stronger, a sign that the behemoth was preparing to charge. The city of Talas was in a state of crisis, everyone could feel their scalp tingling and exploding, and the intense death crisis was almost driving everyone crazy.
The tension and anxiety in Zhang Shou's heart were no less than that of Wang Chong. But the heavy giant crossbow was originally an idea, it has never been really experimented, and many places are very naΓ―ve and immature, Zhang Shouzhi can only do his best, do his best, and use his ability as a generation of grandmasters, while assembling, debugging and modifying.
Right next to the giant crossbow that was being assembled, more than a hundred furnaces were spitting flames into the sky at the same time, burning fiercely. At least ten craftsmen were busy at the same time next to each furnace, and the scorching steel juice was still emitting black smoke and heat, and it kept flowing down the steel trough into the mold.
Zhang Shouzhi led this group of more than 100 craftsmen, and was adjusting the heavy giant crossbow on the spot and temporarily creating parts and components, so that Wang Chong's idea of a heavy giant crossbow could become a reality and appear on the continent for the first time. As for the final result, even Zhang Shouzhi couldn't predict it.
Wang Chong didn't speak, and his heart became heavier and heavier. The Heavy Giant Crossbow was just an idea, a glimmer of hope, but he couldn't put all his hope there. Looking at the two behemoths in the distance, Wang Chong's expression was solemn, and countless surges in his heart surged. Everyone pinned their hopes on him, even Gao Xianzhi pinned a glimmer of hope on him.
Only Wang Chong himself knows how much pressure he is facing at this moment. But he couldn't show the slightest.
"Li Siye, pass my order to transfer a group of soldiers to the city. β
"Zhang Shouzhi, the matter of heavy vehicle crossbows is stepping up. In addition, I need you to make a cone-shaped weapon for me that is at least twenty meters long and one meter in diameter, and I don't need to be very sophisticated, so I can build it for me as quickly as possible!"
In just a moment, Wang Chong quickly issued a series of orders. In battle with these giants, whether it is Wang Chong's incomparable three-foot Uzi steel long sword, or the vajra transformed by Gang Qi, it is far from enough to deal with these huge giant beasts. Wang Chong needed some more powerful, real physical weapons.
"Lord Duhu, isn't it appropriate to let some of the soldiers retreat into the city now? The reason why the current Dashi and Usi Tibetans did not attack is because our army is outside the city, which has a certain deterrent effect on them. If we withdraw our troops to the city, we will not have enough troops, and it is very likely that we will provoke both sides to attack us at the same time. β
Cheng Qianli was a little uneasy.
Cheng Qianli did not object to Wang Chong's decisions, but the chain reaction behind these decisions was something he had to consider.
"Daqin Ruozan will not attack, and he does not have this kind of strength now. If Daqin Ruozan attacks, we can break through from the east with all our might, and Daqin Ruozan understands this, so he will definitely not move. And Abmuth/Lin, you are right, he is indeed using the Behemoth to drain our strength, and he will not take it lightly until this goal is achieved. Moreover, when the giant beast attacks, if the big cannibal follows up, it will also be attacked by the giant beast. Therefore, as long as we withdraw no more than half of our troops and horses, Daqin Ruozan and Abmus/Lin will not attack easily. β
Wang Chong's eyes were wise and he said slowly. In this war, there is no one who can control the whole situation better than him. His every move, every order, was the result of careful consideration.
"Got it!"
Hearing Wang Chong's explanation, the doubts in Cheng Qianli's eyes really subsided a lot.
Roar!
As the two of them spoke, the air surged, and on the west side of the battlefield, the sand and rocks were flying, and the dust was filled, and a loud howl of wild beasts came from there. In just a short period of time, the two giant beasts have completed the goal adjustment and finally launched an attack. Boom, between the lightning and the stone fire, two giant beasts, one left and one right, like rabbits, shot towards the city of Talas.
Boom, the earth roared, and the first to rush out was the boar-like beast covered in hard hair, and its body twisted, and in the blink of an eye, it was beyond the distance of the hippopotamus-like beast's body. Its four hooves are extremely fast, and the smoke and dust kicked off under its feet are more than ten meters high.
On the other hand, although the hippopotamus-like giant beast is not as fast as the wild boar-like giant beast, its running speed is also not slow, giving people the impression that it is not clumsy, but extremely flexible. The two giant beasts rushed towards the steel defense line of the Tang Dynasty and the city of Talas at full speed.
"Ready!"
A sharp shout resounded above the entire steel defense line, and all the troops quickly gathered and prepared, especially the ballista troops at the front, one by one thick black crossbow arrows, in the sound of rolling, quickly loaded and aimed at the target in front. The current reinforcements of the entire Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that the only one who can cause damage to this mountain-like giant beast is the crossbow troops.
"Wang Chong!"
Gao Xianzhi's nervous voice sounded in his ears, and the sand and dust in the distance were overwhelming, overwhelming mountains and seas, and kept spreading towards the city of Talas. When the two giant beasts charged together, the terrifying momentum far surpassed that of the previous rhino-type giant beasts. Having seen the terrifying destructive power of that kind of rhino-type giant beast, Gao Xianzhi deeply knew how terrifying the attack power of this giant beast was, and he had to deal with them in advance before they rushed over, otherwise, the entire army would inevitably suffer heavy losses. Even if they die and fall to the ground within the defensive line, the huge bodies of these giant beasts can inflict huge casualties in the army.
If they want to avoid huge casualties in the army, all four must find a way to solve them in advance.
"Give me the scaly giant* and the rest...... , Lord Gao, Lord Cheng, and Father, I'll leave it to you to deal with!"
Time is pressing, every second counts, Wang Chong's voice fell, and he slammed the horse's belly, and the whole person immediately crossed the first steel defense line and shot out.
"Li Siye, Confucius Confucius, all the black wounded iron horsemen come with me!"
Wang Chong's thunderous shout echoed over the entire steel defense line.
