533 Hold the Flank

Forward! That was the thought in the minds of all the Tang Army soldiers who had broken through the Qi Army lines. They rushed forward recklessly, seizing village after village, capturing one pass after another.

Behind them, the Qi soldiers, now completely without a foothold, faced an extremely awkward situation: they seemed unable to plug the holes that the Tang Army kept expanding, round after round.

No matter how many troops they gathered on both flanks of the Tang Army, they could not make the Tang soldiers retreat an inch; indeed, the numerous assaults by the Qi forces did not even touch the edge of the Tang positions.

The irony was that most of the defensive works the Tang Army relied on had been built by the Qi Army. The Tang Army had simply modified them a little and used them directly.

"Those damn Tang Country Air Force! Every time there's an attack, they come over to mess things up!" The Third Prince complained angrily in his shelter.
