Records of the Human Emperor Chapter 1908: Winding Up the Battle! Slaughter! (III)

Neigh!

"Kiiill!"

Warhorses shrieked and war cries filled the air as the tension reached its maximum. The first to strike was not Zhangchou Jianqiong or another Tang commander, but Su Hanshan's ballista army!

But on the western side, no one moved. The Tang commanders had seemingly agreed to leave open a large gap for Su Hanshan's ballista army.
