Boom! "Boom!"
A few moments later, a boom attracted the attention of everyone on the wall. They turned their heads and saw that nearby, a part of the wall had been split open like a piece of paper.
Next to the crack, several White Braves with particularly powerful auras were crouched in a corner of the wall, constantly pushing the crack in.
Metal element martial artists!
On the wall, Cheng Sanyuan's pupils constricted, his face paling. Wang Chong's City of Steel was incredibly tough, but this was also the greatest problem. Once it encountered a powerful Metal element ability user, the formidable City of Steel would instantly become like a piece of paper.
"Someone! Aim there and immediately attack! "
Cheng Sanyuan quickly called over a group of archers, but as the arrows fell, they were all blocked by the sturdy plate shields. The arrows were even disintegrated in the air before they could hit the ground.
There were even a few arrows that were reflected back at the walls by the Metal element ability users.
No matter how sharp an arrow was, its power was greatly reduced in the face of a Metal element ability user.
"Marquis!"
Cheng Sanyuan's eyes widened, and he finally couldn't help but look at Wang Chong. The enemy had made far more preparations than he had imagined. If this continued, the Ouzan wouldn't even need to open the city gates before they were punching holes in them.
As the winds howled, Wang Chong stared motionlessly at the blazing furnace in the distance, as if he had heard nothing.
"Marquis, Marquis …"
Cheng Sanyuan's heart thumped, and he couldn't help but call out.
"Don't worry about it. No matter how many Metal element ability users they send, they won't be able to open it, at least not before daybreak."
Wang Chong's indifferent voice rang out in his ear. His expression was calm, his eyes still looking forward. It seemed like he had not changed at all.
Cheng Sanyuan was stunned. Only now did he realize that although Wang Chong had not said anything, no change on the battlefield could escape his eyes. However, what surprised Cheng Sanyuan the most was what Wang Chong said at the end.
The strength of metal-type ability users was well-known. Cheng Sanyuan did not understand why Wang Chong was so confident that these people would not be able to break through the city wall.
"Yes, Marquis."
Although he was puzzled, Cheng Sanyuan still endured it.
On the other side, Wang Chong was observant. He knew that Cheng Sanyuan was puzzled, but he didn't explain. This city of steel had been constructed from gold. To outsiders, the amount of gold and silver spent on it was unimaginable.
If anyone thought that this was just a city made of metal, they would be gravely mistaken. In the bottom layer of steel, Wang Chong had added too many large-scale Defensive Formations, Fortification Formations, and even Rebound Formations.
Not only that, but Wang Chong had also added thousands of small formations inside.
It was no exaggeration to say that this steel was even more valuable than gold.
It was not impossible for metal-type martial artists to break through these walls, but the amount of time, energy, and price they would have to pay would be unimaginable.
Just as Wang Chong had said, the enemy would not be able to break through the walls before daybreak, so Wang Chong wasn't worried at all.
But right now, Wang Chong was thinking about something else.
Something's wrong. Just what are you trying to do …
Wang Chong narrowed his eyes as he looked into the distance.
Cavalry was used to charge on the battlefield, not to attack a city. Even if they brought siege awls, ropes, and grappling hooks, it would still be the same. Since the enemy had come prepared and had even wrapped the hooves of their warhorses, they should understand that this method would not be able to break through the city gate.
The question was, what was the enemy's goal? Or rather, where was the enemy's true target?
Wang Chong was hailed as the greatest 'War Saint' in the history of the Central Plains. Even illustrious figures like Huoshu Huizang and Dalun Ruozan had been toyed around in the palm of his hand, let alone anyone else.
No strategy could escape his eyes. Wang Chong knew that something was wrong here.
Clangclangclang! The first batch of White Braves had finally crossed the forty-some meters and scaled the wall, braving the rain of arrows. Rumble! Black war halos vibrated and flickered beneath their feet. Shockwaves exploded, and one of the city guards screamed in agony as he was sent flying in all directions like a kite with its string cut.
The White Braves, hailed as the strongest cavalry of the Ouzan, had finally revealed their powerful cultivation. Each of these White Braves was at Tier 1 or Tier 2 of the Profound Martial realm. Although the White Braves, trained in the secret arts of the Great Snow Mountain, could not compare to the Profound Martial realm commanders of the army, their strength was far superior to that of the elites of other armies.
The various great clans had sent their best experts to construct the city, but they were no match for these powerful White Braves.
"Don't panic!"
"Everyone, work together and attack!"
"No! They're too strong! "
"Ah! — — "
… …
Screams filled the air as countless experts from the great clans charged forward. But in the face of these White Braves, who were as tall and powerful as Profound Martial experts, they were sent flying in the blink of an eye.
"Kiiiill! — — "
"Kiiiill! — — "
Low Ouzan roars resounded over the walls. These White Braves who guarded the Ouzan capital and the Tsenpo displayed their overwhelming strength, sending the guards on the walls flying like tigers in a flock of sheep.
The fact that not a single one of the White Braves on the walls was a match for them caused everyone on the walls to pale.
"Just who are these people?"
"They're just ordinary soldiers. How could they be so powerful!"
… …
Everyone was deeply shocked by what they saw. In this period of time, they had all witnessed the extraordinary strength and training of the city guards. They were able to assemble in an extremely short amount of time. And when they walked, their backs were straight, each of them brimming with vigor.
Those craftsmen who had been hiding in the city, believing themselves to be safe, were terrified by this sight.
Seeing that the Ouzan White Braves were about to charge down the walls and open the gates, the only one who could maintain his composure was Wang Chong.
It's about time.
Wang Chong said to himself as he stood on the walls. His expression was calm and confident. It seemed like there was nothing in the world that could move him, nothing that could surpass his expectations.
Rumble!
There was a deafening boom as a group of twenty to thirty black-armored warriors strode out from the walls. Their gazes were sharp and their auras were powerful, not one bit inferior to the White Braves.
"Ready! Attack!"
At the very front of the group was a middle-aged man of about thirty years of age, who seemed to be the leader. He pulled out a WuZi Steel sword that gleamed with a bone-chilling light. Clangclangclang! The WuZi Steel swords were unsheathed, their sharp tips slanting to the sky. Under the dim starlight, they formed a dense forest of swords.
Boom! In the blink of an eye, twenty to thirty fully-armored WuZi Steel warriors had formed into a formation and were charging at the White Braves on the walls. As they charged, Halos of Thorns descended from their bodies, transforming into rings of light beneath their feet that made these WuZi Steel warriors seem even more powerful.
Bang! Stellar Energy exploded and waves of Qi roiled. In the blink of an eye, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, the sounds of metal clanging and sparks flying in the air.
The unstoppable White Braves were instantly stopped. Not only that, but they were also on par with them and wielding WuZi Steel swords that could cut through iron like mud. The White Braves were completely suppressed.
In a flash, all the White Braves on the walls paled.
"Kill them!"
Xu Keyi's voice resounded over the walls, and as he spoke, the black-armored WuZi Steel warriors on the walls began to combine into a small three-man formation. Clang! The first strike cut off the enemy's left and right arms, while the second cut off their heads.
Trembling, one White Brave after another collapsed onto the walls.
On this trip to the City of Steel, Wang Chong had only brought twenty to thirty Profound Martial realm elites. Unlike the others, these were experts handpicked from the army. Wang Chong had used the influence of The King of Song, Zhangchou Jianqiong, Xianyu Zhongtong, his father Wang Yan, and his grandfather Wang Jiuling in the army to select them.
The forces led by Cheng Sanyuan and Su Shixuan were only the first line of defense. The walls of the City of Steel were the second line of defense, and Xu Keyi's forces were fully armed. They wore armor forged from Meteoric Metal and wielded the sharpest WuZi Steel swords, and all of them were at the Profound Martial realm or above.
This was the third line of defense of the City of Steel.
The terrain of Wushang was complex, and there were many factions around it. It was very difficult to say whether ordinary martial artists would come. If they encountered a sneak attack from an expert, they would need experts of the same level to deal with it.
Xu Keyi's force had been formed for this purpose.
"Everyone, get ready!"
As more and more White Braves climbed the walls, Cheng Sanyuan and Su Shixuan's pupils constricted and their bodies tensed up.
Clang! With a furious roar, Cheng Sanyuan and the others unsheathed their swords. Forming groups of six or seven, they formed a simple battle formation and charged at the White Braves.
Thudthudthud!
In the blink of an eye, the two sides were engaged in fierce combat. Although the White Braves were individually powerful, they were far inferior to Cheng Sanyuan and Su Shixuan in terms of teamwork and formations.
Squelch! One sword after another pierced through the chink in their armor, stabbing into their flesh. In a flash, one White Brave after another fell to the walls, their eyes wide open and their bodies twitching.
In a one-on-one battle, none of Wang Chong's soldiers were a match for these White Braves, but when they worked together, these White Braves simply couldn't stop them.
Moreover, the White Braves were cavalry. Abandoning their warhorses and climbing the walls meant that they had given up their greatest advantage.
