Amidst the darkness, Zhao Qianqiu was astonished to see Wang Chong. After his and Su Hanshan's room, Wang Chong had actually built a second fortress on the mountain.
Using the corpses of the wolves to fill up the room and using the wolf pack as his shield, Wang Chong's thoughts were as bold as a heavenly steed. After filling the metal cage with rocks, he had left Zhao Qianqiu in shock once more.
However, what truly shocked Zhao Qianqiu was the manpower that Wang Chong had gathered.
In just a few moments, nearly twenty Imperial Army guards and instructors had gathered around Wang Chong, as well as more than thirty students.
"So many people!"
Zhao Qianqiu was astonished.
Furthermore, Zhao Qianqiu realized that the people gathered by Wang Chong weren't fighting on their own. There seemed to be some sort of pattern to their positions.
"This is a battle formation!"
Zhao Qianqiu recognized it immediately.
This method allowed the twenty Imperial Army guards and instructors, as well as the thirty or so students, to form a cohesive whole. With everyone working together, they were able to unleash their greatest prowess while minimizing the threat and attacks they faced.
Without a doubt, this formation allowed them to exert far more strength than the dozens of people here. The wolf corpses and Goguryeon warrior corpses were the best proof of this.
"Wang Yan must have taught him this!"
A thought flashed across Zhao Qianqiu's mind. The Wang Clan was a clan of ministers and generals, and Wang Chong's father was a famed general who guarded the borders. Given how knowledgeable Wang Chong was, it wasn't surprising for him to have such an ability.
"Wang Chong!"
Zhao Qianqiu walked over. The mountain wind howled. The youth in the darkness looked slightly pale, but he looked calm.
"Instructor!"
Hearing the voice, Wang Chong recovered from his daze. "You're here."
"What business do you have with me?"
Zhao Qianqiu went straight to the point.
"Do you still have the strength to fight?"
Wang Chong said.
"Do you have a plan?"
Zhao Qianqiu immediately understood.
"Yes."
Wang Chong nodded. "Instructor, if I can think of a way to cover you down the mountain, I'll be able to help you. At close range, do you have a way to kill those Turkic archers? "
"Are you kidding me? Sharpshooters are most afraid of close combat. Although their strength is not bad, they can't be compared to us, who are good at close combat. If we could really break through to their side, do you think that with our strength, we would still be in such a passive situation? "
Zhao Qianqiu frowned in displeasure. He had thought that Wang Chong had called him over for some kind of plan, but it turned out to be something like this.
The current situation wasn't a matter of whether or not they could defeat those sharpshooters, but that no one could go down the mountain. When the Sharpshooters had the advantage in numbers, the people here could only take a beating.
Moreover, since the other party had come prepared, it was impossible for them not to guard against others descending the mountain. If anyone were to leave at this moment, they would surely be bombarded by the dozens of Turkic master archers and Goguryeon condor archers.
No one would be able to survive, and that included Zhao Qianqiu!
"Instructor, what if I tell you that I have a way to send you down the mountain safely?"
Wang Chong's long hair fluttered in the wind as he chuckled.
"If that's the case, I'll definitely be able to break through the blockade of those master archers!"
Zhao Qianqiu was taken aback for a moment before a cold killing intent flashed across his eyes.
The greatest problem with White Tiger Peak was the lack of cover, making it easy for one to be ambushed on the way down. But if one were to break through this barrier, the forest would be filled with trees, rocks, and vines … At this point, the master archers would be the ones who would be restricted, unable to bring out the full might of their bows.
"However, that's impossible. I'm just saying that. In fact, we won't even be able to break through their blockade down the mountain. "
Zhao Qianqiu shook his head as he recovered from his daze.
"Hehe, of course it won't work under normal circumstances, but look over there."
Wang Chong chuckled. Then, he raised a finger and pointed in a certain direction.
"A cliff?"
Zhao Qianqiu was taken aback. The direction that Wang Chong was pointing at was a depression, and beyond that was a cliff. Jump down from the cliff?
Was this some kind of joke?
Would he still be able to survive if he were to jump down from there?
At such a high distance, even if it was him, he would definitely die.
"I've observed it during the day, and the slope there is the most gentle. More importantly, there are Boston creepers there."
Without beating around the bush, Wang Chong revealed the answer to the riddle.
Zhao Qianqiu was taken aback for a moment before understanding Wang Chong's meaning.
There was a huge difference between having Boston creepers and not having them on the cliff. Wang Chong had observed it during the day, and the cliff was shady.
Due to the lack of sunlight, there were quite a few Boston creepers growing there. From top to bottom, they extended all the way down.
Now that dozens of master archers had sealed off White Tiger Peak, these Boston creepers could be used as a shortcut to descend the mountain. Furthermore, it wouldn't attract too much attention.
"However, this isn't enough. Even if there are Boston creepers, once they notice us, we'll be doomed. Unlike flat ground, there's nowhere to hide on the cliff. "
Zhao Qianqiu said seriously as he began to consider the feasibility of Wang Chong's plan.
Wang Chong chuckled. Without hiding anything, he revealed his plan.
"This plan is feasible! It's worth a try. "
After hearing Wang Chong's plan, even Zhao Qianqiu's eyebrows shot up in excitement. Wang Chong's plan might seem dangerous, but it was actually very familiar.
From this, it could be seen that Wang Chong wasn't doing this on a whim. He had a comprehensive plan in mind.
More importantly, this was the only solution they had at the moment.
If they didn't deal with the dozens of master archers and Goguryeon condor archers, they wouldn't be able to turn the situation around.
On this point, Zhao Qianqiu shared the same opinion as Wang Chong.
If they wanted to turn the situation around, they had to deal with the dozens of master archers on the periphery.
"Hu!"
A blazing flame suddenly rose not too far away, followed by a second one. The two massive flames danced and twisted, casting the area where the flames couldn't reach into darkness.
At the same time, the twisting flames also obstructed the vision of the master archers on both sides.
Hong long long!
At the same moment the two flames rose, three to four massive black boulders fell from the cliff. Pu pu pu! Without any hesitation, a wave of wolf fang arrows fell from all directions.
Following which, another wave of wolf fang arrows fell. Yet another wave of wolf fang arrows fell. The third wave, the fourth wave …
After a few more waves, the master archers in the surroundings seemed to have noticed something. Unlike before, when every wave of arrows fell upon them, they were no longer like before.
"Instructor Zhao, it's about time. When you go down, curl up your limbs and descend for a period of time before using the boulders on the cliff to slow down the speed of your descent. After you descend, I'll continue to release a few more waves. As long as we make good use of them, we'll be able to reach the bottom of the mountain. "
"Also, there are a few startled warhorses at the foot of the mountain. When you reach the bottom, you just have to pick one and chase the rest away. This will help you reach the position of the Turkic archers in the shortest time possible. "
The warhorses were discovered by the other students on White Tiger Peak, and this became an important part of Wang Chong's plan. The ivy on the cliff and the startled warhorses at the foot of the mountain … As long as Zhao Qianqiu made good use of them, he would be able to turn the situation around.
"I understand."
Zhao Qianqiu nodded. Under the cover of the two blazing flames, while Wang Chong and the others were tossing out the wolf corpses, he slipped into the crowd and disappeared without a trace.
"Instructor Zhao, take care. Whether we can turn the situation around or not will depend on you. "
Gazing in the direction where Zhao Qianqiu disappeared, Wang Chong quickly turned around.
However, this wasn't the time to worry about Zhao Qianqiu. There were already many people gathered at the center of the palaces. With so many people, they would be a huge target. If a volley of arrows were to fall on them, they would suffer heavy losses.
Wang Chong knew that on this mountain, no matter where, it was impossible to gather too many people.
"Now, the second one!"
Wang Chong drew his sword and pointed it toward the second strategic point on White Tiger Peak. Everyone who saw the second strategic point that Wang Chong spoke of was astonished.
That was because Wang Chong was referring to the massive white tiger statue at the top of the mountain.
To Wang Chong, the area beneath the white tiger statue was empty. This was a natural place for him to hide from the arrows of the master archers. If a large number of wolf corpses were to be placed around the area, it would become the third natural fortress. More importantly, it would occupy the high ground!
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong led his men to successfully occupy the second strategic point. With the experience from the first time, the group moved even faster this time.
In just a few breaths, they had already completed half of the defense, and a moment later, the second fortress was completed. By this time, more than thirty Imperial Army guards and instructors had gathered around Wang Chong.
This was already a formidable force.
As long as the Imperial Army of the Tang dynasty were to gather together, as long as there was a safe haven, everything would snowball. There was no need for Wang Chong to worry about anything else.
After pointing out the location of the third strategic point to them, Wang Chong sat down cross-legged.
"It's my turn to make a move now!"
Wang Chong's mind was in turmoil. After searching through the entire White Tiger Peak, he was certain that Wei Hao and the others weren't on this mountain.
"Wei Hao, I hope that you can hold on."
With such thoughts in mind, Wang Chong quickly took out two pills that the Holy Emperor had bestowed upon him in the imperial prison. Initially, Wang Chong had planned to use these pills after he had completed one cycle of the Six-arms Skill and familiarized himself with it.
However, he couldn't wait for that time to come.
With a gulp, Wang Chong swallowed the two pills. For a moment, hot air filled the air, and a huge wave of medicinal energy exploded from within Wang Chong's body.
Wang Chong's face was flushed red, and his body was steaming hot. Soon, a white mist rose from his body. The medicinal energy from the imperial palace's hidden pills washed through Wang Chong's body like a tidal wave.
Without any hesitation, Wang Chong guided the huge wave of Primal Qi into the meridians and acupoints in his arms.
Bang bang bang!
With the support of the powerful external force of the pills, the sealed meridians and acupoints in Wang Chong's body opened up. The advancement of the Six-arms Skill in a short period of time was equivalent to several months of hard work for Wang Chong.
"What a concentrated pill! As expected of the imperial pill of the imperial palace!"
A thought flashed across Wang Chong's mind. Without any hesitation, he drove the Primal Qi in his body to fuse with the medicinal energy and rushed it toward the meridians and acupoints.
"Boom!"
After an unknown period of time, Wang Chong's body suddenly jolted. The final acupoint of the Six-arms Skill opened up. At the same time, a burst of cheers sounded. The Imperial Army guards and instructors that Wang Chong had gathered had successfully occupied the third strategic point.
