"Wang Chong, why are you here?"
Chen Burang was pleasantly surprised.
"What about you? How did you end up there? "
Wang Chong asked. He was equally curious.
"That's a long story. In order to save them, I was targeted by a powerful sharpshooter. That guy's archery skills are amazing. He can shoot eighty arrows in the blink of an eye! The rock I was hiding on was shattered by him. If you hadn't appeared, I would have been targeted to death by him. "
Chen Burang's face was pale. He seemed to have exhausted a lot of energy, but he was still very excited. He didn't look afraid at all.
"Can you tell how many arrows he can shoot in a second?"
Wang Chong asked curiously.
"A second? Oh, you mean he's a fast archer. "
A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Burang's eyes, but he soon smiled. He had the simple and natural smile of a hunter in the mountains.
"When we hunt, our eyes must be sharp, and our ears must be sensitive. There are many plants in the mountains. Some prey can't be seen with the eyes, so our ears must be sensitive. "
"Our village chief said that I was born different from others. I don't feel it myself, but I can indeed hear the sound of mosquitoes from a few miles away since I was young. "
Chen Burang admitted it frankly, as if he didn't think it was a big deal to have such an ability.
"The sound of mosquitoes?"
Wang Chong looked at Chen Burang in front of him. His heart trembled violently. It wasn't strange for an archer to have sensitive ears. All archers had this ability, and they had also cultivated it.
But to be able to hear the sound of mosquitoes from a few miles away …
Even the sharpshooters Wang Chong met in his past life didn't have such an ability. He recalled that Chen Burang could sense the incoming wolf fang arrows in advance, but he couldn't hear anything.
In an instant, Wang Chong seemed to understand something. His gaze towards Chen Burang was completely different.
"This person is too capable. It's no wonder why he could become a famous archer in my past life, leading the archers to be known as the elites of the Tang dynasty."
Wang Chong looked at Chen Burang, his heart in turmoil. No one knew better than him that even though Chen Burang wasn't famous yet, he would definitely become one of the best sharpshooters in the world in the future.
Putting everything else aside, just his hearing alone was enough to surpass the sharpshooters outside.
"Do you know how many sharpshooters there are outside?"
Wang Chong asked. The night was pitch-black, and the whereabouts of those sharpshooters were uncertain. The most important thing now was to figure out how many enemies had come.
"There are a total of forty-three sharpshooters, divided into two groups, one with twenty-eight and the other with fifteen. Among them, there are eleven in the east, fourteen in the west, eight in the south, eight in the north, and two in the forest three thousand zhang southeast of the foot of the mountain! "
"There are eleven in the east, fourteen in the west, eight in the south, eight in the north, and two in the forest three thousand zhang southeast of the mountain!"
Wang Chong was rendered speechless.
Chen Burang's hearing ability had reached an unimaginable level.
"Two groups?"
Wang Chong quickly came to a realization and frowned. "Aren't they all Turks?"
"Turks?"
Hearing this name, the group stared at one another in shock. They had heard of the Eastern and Western Turkic Khaganates before.
But ever since they were young, they had never come into contact with the sharpshooters of the Turks.
"I don't know who they are, but their shooting style is clearly different. One group of people used wolf fang arrows, while the other group only used vertical projectiles. They were especially powerful and were even harder to block than the group of people who used wolf fang arrows. "
Chen Burang said as he took out a broken arrow. Wang Chong glanced at it. It was a diamond-shaped arrowhead, and it looked exceptionally sharp.
Chen Burang had chopped off the tail of the arrow. However, on the remaining arrow shaft, Wang Chong saw the emblem of a Three-legged Crow.
"It's the Goguryeon Condor Shooters!"
Wang Chong passed the broken arrow back to Chen Burang with a heavy heart.
The Goguryeons weren't a nomadic tribe, so they didn't have as many sharpshooters as the Turks. However, the top-notch archers of the Goguryeons were even more formidable than those of the Turks.
This was the Condor Shooters!
Condors flew exceptionally high. Their muscles were powerful, and their wings were as tough as steel. Thus, they flew at an incredible speed. Most arrows, including the arrows of master archers, could be seen from above and dodged easily.
It was difficult for most arrows to pose a threat to condors.
However, the Goguryeon Condor Shooters were different. No matter how high or fast the condors flew, they would be able to hit them! In the previous wars against the Goguryeons, there were many elites who died in the hands of the Condor Shooters.
"To think that the Goguryeons would send even Condor Shooters over!"
Wang Chong frowned deeply.
"You guys come in first. Chen Burang, eat this pill. "
Wang Chong passed him a recovery pill. Wang Chong could tell that Chen Burang's archery was extremely bizarre. To think that he would be able to draw an arc in the air!
For an Origin Energy realm cultivator, this was an unimaginable feat.
Chen Burang didn't turn down Wang Chong's offer. Together with the other three, they entered the house. At this moment, there were already six people gathered around Wang Chong. Including himself, there were seven of them.
To Wang Chong, this strength was more than sufficient for him to do something.
"Everyone, take off your clothes and use the broken wooden planks and wooden plaques in the house to prop them up. Make a few more dummies. Jingdian, bring them to make use of the tiger carcasses here to build a small-scale defensive barrier. Next up, it will be our turn to fight. "
Time was of the essence, and there were still the Imperial Army guards blocking the way outside. However, Wang Chong knew that the battle could reach here at any moment.
"Leave the dummies to me. I specialize in that!"
Chen Burang immediately understood the meaning behind Wang Chong's words. Upon hearing that Wang Chong would be making dummies, he immediately understood the latter's intentions. He was born in the mountains, and his family was a hunter. Making traps and disguises were all basic skills.
"Un."
Wang Chong nodded his head. Then, he squatted down and gathered everyone.
"The enemy came prepared, and they are all experts. In a one-on-one fight, none of us are a match for them. Everyone, take note. When we encounter enemies later on, follow this order. Whether we can survive or not will depend on ourselves. "
"Un."
This time, no one said a word. Instead, they turned to look at Wang Chong silently. In a life-and-death situation, everyone hoped to have a backbone who could give orders on their behalf and unite the hearts of the people.
Without a doubt, Wang Chong took over this responsibility.
Outside the door, the sounds of fighting, screams, and wolf howls could be heard. The stench of blood permeated the air. Due to the lack of time, Wang Chong could only draw the simplest combination attack diagram.
This was one of the common combination attack methods that Wang Chong implemented in the army in his later years.
Unlike any other commander in the history of the Tang dynasty, during the period when Wang Chong was the commander, combination attacks were particularly common and frequent.
It wasn't that Wang Chong had any special hobby, but that there were simply too many powerful opponents on the battlefield in his later years. This was especially obvious when they were facing the foreign invaders.
Wang Chong's combination attack was also born in response to the situation. But it was also for this reason that the army under Wang Chong's command was particularly powerful.
Whenever Wang Chong participated in a war, the casualties of the top-notch experts in the enemy's army would be extremely frequent. These experts, who were supposed to play an important role on the battlefield, would often die before they could even cause a ripple.
The Turks and Goguryeons had been preparing for this night assault for a very long time. In fact, even though they had never come into contact with each other before, they had come to an agreement in advance.
Obviously, these people had already considered everything clearly.
It was currently late at night, and the Kunwu Training Camp was more than twenty li away from the capital. Furthermore, it was located deep in the mountains, so it was impossible for the capital to receive news so quickly.
Even if the capital were to discover the ambush, a few hours of travel was more than enough for them to take down the Kunwu Training Camp. On the other hand, just the Imperial Army guards in the training camp wouldn't be able to withstand the assault of forty master archers, Goguryeon warriors, and wolf packs.
This tactic of the Turks had maximized the usefulness of master archers. A net of death was woven around the Kunwu Training Camp.
But Wang Chong knew that these people had miscalculated. They had underestimated the thousands of students in the Kunwu Training Camp.
Chen Burang was the best example.
There were too many future great generals in this training camp. As long as they were utilized well, it wasn't impossible for the Turks and Goguryeons to crumble this assault.
"Alright, everyone, remember the sequence. Time is of the essence, so hurry up and finish the preparations. "
As Wang Chong spoke, he was the first to rush out of the collapsed building. Wolf howls could be heard from outside, and he could already sense a few Turk wolves pouncing in his direction.
Aooo!
A massive Turk wolf barked its teeth with a vicious gaze. It was the first to notice Wang Chong standing outside the building. Roaring furiously, it leaped up and pounced forward.
Chi!
A cold gleam flashed, and before the Turk wolf could even get close, it was cleaved into two by Wang Chong.
No matter how powerful a wolf was, it was no match for a ferocious tiger. The size and strength of the two weren't on the same level.
Wang Chong would still find it difficult to deal with a ferocious tiger, but dealing with a Turk wolf was a walk in the park. There was nothing that could withstand the sharpness of the WuZi Steel Sword.
Chen Burang was extremely efficient. Very soon, he had erected many dummies in every part of the room that could be seen from the outside.
Not only did Chen Burang make use of clothes, he even made use of bedsheets. This caused the number of dummies to multiply, and every single one of them was extremely lifelike.
In this aspect, Chen Burang was definitely talented.
The moment the dummies were erected, 'pu pu' sounds echoed in the air.
The eyesight of a master archer far surpassed that of an ordinary person, as well as everyone else here. However, master archers weren't invincible.
A distance of several li allowed them to remain undefeatable, but at the same time, it limited their eyesight as well.
Furthermore, darkness affected them as well.
At such a distance, even a master archer wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a real person and a dummy.
On the other hand, their superior eyesight could also be used to draw the enemy's attention and exhaust their arrows.
Chen Burang completed his preparations. On the other side, Zhao Jingdian and Zhuang Zhengping had also completed their mission.
"Wang Chong!"
In just a moment, the vanished Zhao Qianqiu finally appeared before Wang Chong with five Imperial Army guards and instructors.
A massive bow on one of the instructors caught Wang Chong's attention.
Master archer!
