”Single Character Consecutive Slash!”
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong activated the Stellar Energy Iron Cloak and then used the Single Character Consecutive Slash to jump from the back of his horse and attack.
Both the Eight Steps of the Furious Flood Dragon and the Leaping Dragon Art consumed too much Stellar Energy at this point, and were thus less effective and harder to use than the Single Character Consecutive Slash.
Tcha, tcha, tcha!
Wang Chong's figure seemed to flicker about and his Wootz Steel sword flashed with cold light as it drew out a harsh arc in the air. In the blink of an eye and several bangs, several Youzhou soldiers fell from their horses.
Although Wang Chong was not very strong, his insight and experience far surpassed his opponents'. Only those equal to or stronger than him could pose any threat to him.
”Jingdian, Marchioness Yi, Zhao Yatong… work with me!”
Wang Chong's voice resounded through the dark skies, and not even the thunder or rain could drown it out.
Rumble! The warhorses suddenly changed course, and in the blink of an eye, the armored horsemen had gathered to protect Wang Chong in the center. The White-hoofed Shadow, meanwhile, had shot forward to catch Wang Chong.
This ability to change formation took even Tian Chengsi by surprise. But before he could make his own adjustments, Wang Chong's group was already charging toward An Yaluoshan.
Both Marchioness Yi and Zhao Yatong were top-notch experts of the spear, and in cavalry battles, no weapon was better than a spear at breaking through defenses.
Crash! As man met horse, one after another Youzhou soldier was knocked down into the mud.
”Kill him! Kill that brat!”
A flustered voice came out of the crowd as Ashina Sugan took out his sword and pointed it at Wang Chong.
'To shoot a person, first shoot the horse, and to capture the underlings, first capture their king.' This principle was not only known among the Han. The Hu were also well aware of it.
Swooshswooshswoosh!
Metal whistled through the air. The Hu were excellent archers, so the first thing to arrive was not a wave of majestic Stellar Energy, but a dense rain of sharp arrows.
Boom!
The twang of the bow was like a peal of thunder. Luo Tong stood in the distance, and though his body was not present at the fight, his arrow had already arrived. With a single pull and release, half of the rain of arrows had been blocked.
And as for the rest, they were blocked either by the Stellar Energy Iron Cloak or by Wang Chong's armor.
”Deep Sea Xuan Metal heavy armor!”
Standing at the very back of the crowd, Ashina Sugan narrowed his eyes. He had immediately recognized this armor. Deep Sea Xuan Metal armor was absolutely worthy of being a strategic military resource and was an excellent tool for dealing with the attacks of a master archer.
Even a master archer would be incapable of threatening Wang Chong while he wore this armor.
”To have the audacity to attack the Andong Protectorate is like daring to challenge the heavens! Come with me and kill that brat!”
Ashina Sugan's complexion was ashen, his heart resolute.
In Youzhou in the northeast, one person bullying them was already enough. When they left Youzhou, he had sworn an oath that he would not allow a single person to walk all over them.
Roar!
Ashina Sugan's shout was immediately followed by ten-some yells. These people were all elite troops of the Youzhou army, combatants at Tier 4 or above of the True Martial realm.
The 'cut off the head' plan that Wang Chong so enjoyed using just so happened to be one that Ashina Sugan and An Yaluoshan were fans of as well.
In the Andong Protectorate, this pair had already become very proficient at this strategy. It was precisely through this method that the pair had gradually reached their current status.
Boom! Just as the warhorses had begun their charge, right when Ashina Sugan was raising his sword, the earth suddenly quaked. The wall to the left of them suddenly collapsed and a large number of armored cavalry poured in.
”Young Master Wang, we've come to help you!”
Hearing a familiar voice, Wang Chong immediately turned, whereupon he saw a thin figure dressed in blue leading a group of experts against the Youzhou soldiers.
Zhang Jian of the Zhang Clan had brought the clan elders and their experts to help him.
Wang Chong was elated.
An Yaluoshan, Tian Chengsi, and the Youzhou troops, on the other hand, were stunned.
But before An Yaluoshan and the others could react, crash! Yet another wall collapsed, this time to the west.
”Young Master Chong, we've come to help you!”
In a flash, the Huang Clan's patriarch led a group of elites charging into the Youzhou soldiers.
But this was still not over.
Suddenly, an elderly and vigorous voice roared out like a lion. ”Young Master, don't worry; we've come to help you!”
From the back of the courtyard, a stalwart figure, old yet hearty, led a group of experts charging through the rear wall.
”Elder Ye!”
Wang Chong was once more elated. The newcomers were actually his grandfather's old subordinates, Elder Ye, Elder Zhao, and the others.
Wang Chong had not expected that his order would even move them.
”Young Master, who do you want to kill! I'll help you!”
Elder Ye's voice was peerlessly tyrannical, ringing out like a great bell.
In the middle of the courtyard, An Yaluoshan's forces were given another shock. In just a short time, their opponents had once more mobilized so many people.
These two white-haired elders exuded a despotic energy and gave off the thick aura of military veterans. This was not even an aura that old generals who had experienced a hundred battles could have.
