Records of the Human Emperor Chapter 2161: Shield Cart Link Formation!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Ballistae were the killing weapons of the Great Tang, and they were the product of the Bureau of Works, not Wang Chong.

Many of the armies of the Great Tang were equipped with ballistae. Even Abusi's Tongluo Cavalry had a few. The ballistae were extremely powerful and piercing, not something a few planks of steel could stop.

Whether it was in the war of the southwest or the northwest, no matter how thick was the armor worn by the Tibetans and Arabs, the ballista bolts had punched through all the same, each one taking the lives of five to ten horsemen. Was a single steel plank really enough?

"It's not that simple, but we'll find out what the secret is soon," Wang Chong indifferently said.

Wang Chong had never underestimated his opponents, not in this life or the last.

An Lushan seemed fat, honest, and easy to bully, but in reality, he was craftier than anyone, and he also had Gao Shang advising him.

Although Wang Chong didn't know what was different about these shield carts, he knew that they weren't as simple as they seemed.

For a moment, the world was silent as Ozmish Khagan, Yeon Gaesomun, the Khitan King, the Xi Queen, and all the alliance soldiers stared at these tens of thousands of shield carts.

The first wave would decide how the rest of this battle would proceed.

The Youzhou soldiers at the front hid behind the shield carts. They peeked their eyes over the shield carts, glancing at the steel ballistae atop the walls. The cold glint from the tips of the bolts made their hearts tremble in fear.

Almost all countries, whether in the east or the west, knew about the power of ballistae. If possible, no one wanted to expose themselves to these terrifying weapons.

Even though they had thick metal plates in front of them, they felt no sense of safety. However, military orders could not be disobeyed. No matter how unwilling they were, they simply had to push forward.

Five thousand feet, four thousand feet, three thousand feet…

They were now within range of the ballistae.
