“Tian Qianzhen, Tian Chengsi, Baizhen Tuoluo, Zhao Kan, all of you move out as well!” An Lushan loudly ordered.

“Yes!”

With this order, all of the Youzhou commanders charged out.

Goguryeo, the Eastern Turks, the Xi, and the Khitans also mobilized their commanders, and their elite troops charged at the fortress.

In the rear, the Khitan King, Ozmish Khagan, Yeon Gaesomun, and the Xi Queen were all glowing with joy. Standing alongside An Lushan, they followed behind the army as it advanced.

Truly incredible! I didn’t think we would actually win!

As Ozmish Khagan, Yeon Gaesomun, and the Xi Queen watched the distant battle, they all had the same thought, and they almost instinctively looked to An Lushan.

They had initially agreed to An Lushan’s alliance because the cold wave had pushed them to the brink. But as for actually defeating the Great Tang, none of them had had much hope.

Yet An Lushan had really managed to do it, and the balance of victory was already completely leaning in their favor.

“Pass on my order! Advance with full speed without regard for losses! In this battle, we must totally exterminate the Tang Empire!” the alliance sovereigns ordered in unison.

In this battle, because of various factors, the alliance countries had been very apprehensive and wary. It was only now that they were unleashing their full strength.

Rumble!

War drums banged as the alliance army swept forward like an enormous wave.

The battle was turning more and more against the Great Tang.

Buzz!

Before anyone could react, a golden spear plunged out of the sky and disappeared into the alliance army surging into the gap. Kaboom! Countless alliance soldiers screamed as they were blasted into the air.

“Your Highness!”

The Tang soldiers at the gap were taken aback at first, but when they saw that it was Wang Chong, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon seeing Wang Chong, Zhangchou Jianqiong pushed back the men in black that had mixed into the alliance ranks and rushed to his side.

“Wang Chong, the walls have fallen. We can’t hold!”

“Muster the heavy shield soldiers. The axemen and spearmen can’t hold out alone!

“In addition, gather the ballista army. Have them prepare to fire!” Wang Chong sternly said.

The vast alliance army was charging at the gap with savage expressions, and the soldiers stationed there would never be able to hold.

In these circumstances, only the ballistae could temporarily stave off the alliance.

Boom!

Before Wang Chong’s orders could be relayed, boom! The earth shuddered as another crash came from behind him. As the dust plumed into the air, frantic cries could be heard.

“The walls have fallen!”

“The walls have fallen!”

Wang Chong’s heart went cold, but things were far from over.

“Reporting!”

At this moment, four messengers arrived from four different directions.

“Milord! A total of four new gaps have appeared on the eastern, western, and southern walls. The alliance soldiers are charging in through them!”

“Reporting! Milord, the ballista army reports that with the loss of the formation, the temperature is too low. The mechanisms of at least eighty percent of the ballistae have frozen, preventing them from being fired. General Su is leading his men in handling the problem, but there’s no time!”

“Reporting! The ballista army has come under attack and is requesting reinforcements!”

“Milord, the gap on the western side has been breached! The city defense division is under assault from both the front and the rear and is requesting aid!”

......

In short order, at least seventeen more messengers arrived.

Each report brought Wang Chong’s heart down more and more, and next to him, Zhangchou Jianqiong nastily scowled.

Boom!

At this moment, the entire fortress swayed like a plank in the middle of a turbulent ocean, and there was so much groaning and cracking that it seemed like the entire world was falling apart.

Boom!

Behind Wang Chong and Zhangchou Jianqiong, the rows of fortifications and barracks collapsed. In the middle of these buildings, the earth fractured open, a giant fissure appearing and creeping toward the depths of the fortress.

And as the fissure crept forward, more and more buildings collapsed in its path.

“It’s over!”

Zhangchou Jianqiong turned ghastly pale. Without the guidance from the formation, the energy accumulated beneath the steel fortress had erupted, creating a giant earthquake.

Most importantly, in this war, they had run many scenarios, including the worst-case scenario where they had to fight amidst the buildings and alleys.

But this earthquake had opened up fissures throughout the fortress that had torn apart and destroyed key buildings, throwing into disarray their plans to fight in the streets.

Wang Chong said nothing, but his expression was extremely grave. He had never imagined that the situation would deteriorate so quickly.

“Hahaha, Wang Chong, your fortress has fallen. Do you have anything to say now?”

Brazen laughter came from the distance, and a moment later, a giant thundercloud crackling with lightning advanced on the steel fortress. Beneath this thundercloud was a familiar figure, his body wreathed in lightning.

“An Lushan!”

Wang Chong’s eyes chilled as he recognized the figure.

In that suit of World Armor, An Lushan was brimming with vigor and smugness, and above him was an imposing figure exuding a majestic aura.

Genesis Supreme!

These two had appeared at the same moment.

Neigh!

As they appeared, a chorus of neighs tinged with the aura of death and corrosion came from the distance.

These loud neighs pierced through the snowstorm like sharp arrows, clearly audible from ten-some li away.

Wang Chong, Zhangchou Jianqiong, and the nearby Tang generals felt their hearts sink.

The Yeluohe!

When it rained, it poured. The formation had shattered, the walls had collapsed, and An Lushan’s sharpest weapon had appeared.

No one except the Wushang Cavalry could hold up against the terrifying offensive power of the Yeluohe.

Even worse was that they did not have the protection of the walls, the Yeluohe had been bolstered by the cold wave, and the Wushang Cavalry had already suffered heavy losses from the earlier battle.

Moreover, the descent of the cold wave had further weakened the Wushang Cavalry.

The result of these two armies clashing was obvious.

“Pass on my order! Inform Crown Prince’s Junior Guardian Wang Zhongsi, Tongluo Great General Abusi, and Protector-General Zhang Shougui to do their utmost to stop the enemy army! In addition, mobilize the Divine Martial Army, Xuanwu Army, Azure Martial Army, and Mo Saber Unit... All of them are to cover the retreat!

“Other than the elite armies, all other divisions, including the craftsmen teams, are to retreat at full speed and abandon the steel fortress!” Wang Chong grimly ordered.

This war had been much more difficult than he had imagined. Through this steel fortress, Wang Chong had utilized his steel modules to their maximum extent, and it far exceeded any of his past steel defense lines or steel fortresses.

Besides that, Wang Chong had spent more than one billion taels of gold on this fortress, and each steel module carried numerous defensive inscriptions and formations.

From a certain perspective, this steel fortress had been made from gold.

But this steel fortress that had cost so much had fallen. This was the first time this had happened since Wang Chong had taken command of the army.

Wang Chong no longer had the time to think about such things. The interior of the fortress was a scene of chaos, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers at a life-or-death moment.

If they were defeated today, there would be no strength left in the Central Plains that could stop An Lushan.

And the ‘nightmare’ from his last life would reenact itself.

Buzz!

As Wang Chong spoke, his dantian trembled, and a halo emerged from his body. Two clones made from Stellar Energy walked out from Wang Chong, remaining here to defend the area with Zhangchou Jianqiong.

As for Wang Chong’s original body, it shot into the sky.

The Tang army charged out following Wang Chong’s orders. All of them understood that this was the final moment.

“Kill!”

The Divine Martial Army, Xuanwu Army, Mo Saber Unit, and Wushang Cavalry left their posts and charged out to the alliance army.

Everyone was harshly affected by the current situation. Their hair, armor, and weapons were all covered in frost, and without the protection of the formation, each of them was weakened in varying ways. However, as elites that had been honed in blood and fire, they still possessed overwhelming fighting power.

Bang!

Several dozen Mo Saber Unit soldiers fanned out in a row, raising up their Mo Sabers and then swinging them down. Boom! Blood burst out everywhere as several dozen alliance cavalry were cleaved in two by the terrifying Mo Sabers. Before the blood could fly very far, it froze in the air and dropped to the ground as crimson slabs of ice.

Roooar!

“The Mo Saber is invincible!” the Mo Saber Unit soldiers furiously roared. As they erupted with energy, white steam rose from their bodies. They fearlessly charged forward as if there was nothing in the way. Not even death could stop them.

With the Mo Saber Unit was the Divine Martial Army. Compared to the Mo Saber Unit, the Divine Martial Army’s attacks were swift and silent. Though their attacks seemed ordinary, they were swift and sharp. Plush! Plush! Plush! Their sharp swords gleamed with cold light as they thrust forward like venomous snakes.
