"Wang Chong, what do you think?"
Zhao Qianqiu's face was pale, and his body was covered in blood. The group was covered in wounds, and they had fought their way here. They had even lost two men along the way.
The situation on White Tiger Peak was far more dangerous than what they thought it to be.
"Is this the student you spoke of?"
At this moment, the master archer instructor also spoke up. As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Qianqiu with a questioning gaze.
His breathing was heavy, and his forehead was drenched in sweat. His clothes were torn, and it seemed like he had expended a great deal of energy. He was the only one who knew what kind of situation he had been through on the peak.
All the master archers of the Turkic Khaganate viewed him as a thorn in their side. More than half of the arrows whistling through the air were aimed at him.
Only master archers could deal with master archers, and only he knew what kind of pressure he was facing at the moment.
The death that he was facing was much higher than that of anyone else present.
Zhao Qianqiu nodded, indicating that he was the culprit.
Howl!
A ferocious wolf howl suddenly sounded from the gap in the collapsed wall, but it only lasted for a moment before it died.
"Hurry up, we don't have much time left!"
The anxious voice of two Imperial Army guards sounded from the gap. Beside them were seven to eight Turk wolf corpses, which they had just killed.
The situation on White Tiger Peak was extremely disadvantageous. A large number of wolves and Goguryeon warriors had scattered the guards on White Tiger Peak.
The combined assault of the Turk master archers and Goguryeon warriors was inflicting heavy casualties on the guards on White Tiger Peak.
The pressure quickly spread into the room, and everyone's eyes were on Wang Chong.
It was Wang Chong's idea to summon the master archers and Imperial Army guards here, so naturally, everyone had high expectations of him.
"Chen Burang, come here!"
Without saying a word, Wang Chong beckoned Chen Burang over and called the young hunter over. The urgent matter at hand wasn't the Goguryeons and wolf pack outside, but the Turk master archers and Goguryeon condor hunters.
With these people around, none of the Imperial Army soldiers would be able to hold out for long.
When dozens of master archers and condor archers aimed at a single person, even Zhao Qianqiu would be killed in an instant.
This was the terrifying thing about a sharpshooter in the army!
"There's such a thing!"
That sharpshooter instructor had learned from Wang Chong that Chen Burang's innate talent was extraordinary, and his eyes were filled with astonishment. There wasn't a single sharpshooter who didn't have sharp ears and eyes.
However, it was impossible for him to hear something from several kilometers away. It was even more impossible to determine the other party's exact location.
It was now late at night, and even he couldn't tell how many sharpshooters were hiding in the dark or where they were.
The appearance of this young hunter in the mountains had really shocked him. Of course, there were more surprises!
"I see what you mean. This is indeed a very good fortress. "
The sharpshooter instructor looked around. There were wolf fang arrows all over the ground. In Wang Chong's room, the light that he had lit up earlier had attracted a lot of attacks and became the first target.
But it was also due to this that wolf fang arrows were scattered all over the ground. This was equivalent to a natural material and an unlimited supply of arrows. As a base for a counterattack, it was the best choice.
"… However, it's useless. The tiger carcasses in the room aren't enough to defend against them at all. Unlike you, you will only attract one or two people at most. However, as long as I make a move, I'll attract the attention of all the master archers. By then, wolf fang arrows will rain down from all directions, and there won't be a safe place at all. "
The sharpshooter couldn't help but be impressed by Wang Chong's idea. To have Zhao Qianqiu and the others protect them from the wolves and Goguryeons outside, they would be able to launch a counterattack.
Given his strength, as long as he had a decent 'safe house', it would be much larger than all of Zhao Qianqiu and the others combined.
It wasn't that he didn't think of finding a safe place to launch a counterattack, but such a place didn't exist on White Tiger Peak.
"Of course, these tiger carcasses aren't enough. However, it'll be a different story if we include the metal cages outside!"
Wang Chong finally voiced out his thoughts.
Soon, the twelve metal cages that Zhao Qianqiu used to store the tigers were brought into the room. These metal cages were lined up closely against the walls, covering almost every corner of the room.
When these empty metal cages were filled with tiger carcasses, wolf carcasses, and a large amount of rocks and rubble, the sturdiest fortress on White Tiger Peak was formed.
In that instant, everyone in the room, including Zhao Qianqiu, Chen Burang, and the master archer instructor, looked at Wang Chong with a completely different gaze.
As a hunter in the mountains, Chen Burang was no stranger to setting up traps and disguises. However, even Chen Burang didn't expect that these metal cages could be used to create a safe fortress for the only master archer instructor on the mountain.
For an archer, if they had such a free hand, they would be able to display their greatest power.
"The Turkic archers and the Goguryeon Condor Archers are both capable of long-range shooting, and the Goguryeons' Condor Archers are the most formidable. Chen Burang, help Instructor Chen. If you hear any long-range shooting, enter the metal cage at the center in advance! "
Wang Chong pointed to a two-storey metal cage at the center. This was specially made by Wang Chong, and it was made up of two metal cages stacked on top of one another.
The top cage was filled with rocks, rubble, and wolf carcasses while the bottom cage was empty.
This way, if the enemy master archer realized that a straight shot was useless and decided to use long-range shooting, Chen Burang and the master archer instructor would be able to enter the cage in time to protect themselves.
— — In order to transport the tigers, Zhao Qianqiu had used thick Xuan metal to construct the metal cages. At this moment, this Xuan metal could be used to its fullest potential.
"Hahaha, Zhao Qianqiu, you sure have an incredible student under you. With this safe room, the wolf fang arrows on the ground, and this student, I'm confident that I can face all of them!"
Zhou Huang, the master archer instructor, laughed heartily. In an instant, he felt much more at ease. Back at the peak of the mountain, he had been completely suppressed by them.
However, with Wang Chong's design, everything was different.
"We only need to leave a few people here. The moment I shoot, I'll immediately attract the attention of the Turkic master archers. The rest of you should leave this place! "
Zhou Huang was delighted. Holding his bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right, he was ready to shoot.
"Zhuang Zhengping, leave Chi Weisi in the cage at the center. The rest of you, follow me! "
Wang Chong beckoned, and the group immediately left the area.
Even though the room seemed much more dangerous now that they had left. But with a master archer like Zhou Huang to attract the attention of the enemy, the group was much safer.
Their priority now was to deal with the wolf pack and Goguryeon warriors.
"Let's go! Remember the strategy I spoke of previously! "
Wang Chong whipped out his WuZi Steel Sword and walked out of the room with widened strides. The group didn't walk out in a loose manner. Instead, they formed a military formation.
Even the Imperial Army guard who had split off to work with them couldn't help but look at them in awe.
Awoooo!
As soon as Wang Chong walked out of the room, he was greeted by the sight of a pack of wolves. Individually, these wolves weren't too strong. Regardless of whether it was Wang Chong or anyone else here, they would be able to deal with them individually.
However, the wolves of the Turkic plains didn't rely on their individual strength. Instead, they relied on the advantage they had as a group to charge forward like a tidal wave.
Under such circumstances, be it Wang Chong, Zhao Jingdian, or the Imperial Army guard, any one of them would be in danger if they were alone.
This was also the reason why Wang Chong advised Zhao Qianqiu against charging out alone.
The situation on White Tiger Peak was already extremely dire. Corpses littered the jagged rocks of the mountain. Wang Chong, Zhao Qianqiu, and the others had only spent a short moment in the room, but the situation on the peak had already taken a turn for the worse.
"Kill!"
Wang Chong gripped his sword with both hands and strode forward, leading his men in the charge formation of an army.
Awoooo!
More than a dozen Turkic grassland wolves bared their fangs and howled. All of a sudden, they pounced toward Wang Chong and the others. Their eerie green eyes gleamed coldly in the night sky.
Chi, blood splattered in the air. Following which, the corpses of the wolves fell from the sky, landing on Wang Chong and the others.
At the same time, behind Wang Chong, more than fifty wolf fang arrows whizzed out from Wang Chong and Su Hanshan's room. Piercing through the air, they flew toward the surrounding forests on White Tiger Peak.
— — The only master archer instructor on White Tiger Peak had finally made his move. In that instant, time seemed to have stopped, and everything seemed to have changed.
Wang Chong didn't turn his head, but Wang Chong could sense the change in the sky above him. The rain of wolf fang arrows had suddenly thinned significantly.
Everything seemed to have come to a standstill in that instant.
"Yay! Three of them! Three Turkic master archers are dead! "
Suddenly, a furious roar sounded from the room behind him. The voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement, and it was even trembling slightly.
Chen Burang!
It was Chen Burang's voice!
No one turned their heads around, but everyone knew that Wang Chong's strategy was working. For the first time since the battle began, the Turkic master archers hidden in the forest had suffered casualties.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and the pressure weighing down on them lessened significantly.
"Spread out!"
As soon as he heard Chen Burang's voice, Wang Chong immediately issued an order. Everyone dashed forward at lightning speed, trying their best to get as far away from Chen Burang and Zhou Huang as possible.
Xiu xiu xiu!
A hair-raising sound echoed in the air. Not too long after Zhou Huang's arrows were released, a dense barrage of several thousand arrows came from all directions. Every single arrow was aimed at the area where Zhou Huang and Chen Burang were.
