Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the air, Wang Chong's Stellar Energy fiercely clashed with Dayan Mangban's. Wang Chong was far weaker than his foe, but by using a strange energy, he was able to borrow at least half of Dayan Mangban's energy and use it for his own purposes. This Stellar Energy combined with the energy around Wang Chong, transforming into a mighty flood that thundered toward Dayan Mangban.
Roooar!
The massive dragon roared and the mountain of snow crumbled. In that one moment, it was possible to hear a groan of pain. In a flash of light, a figure crashed down from the sky, falling atop the walls.
Boom! At this time, everyone could clearly see that the one to drop from the air had not been Wang Chong, but Dayan Mangban.
”How is this possible?”
Xu Keyi and the others were stunned by this sight. They had personally experienced Dayan Mangban's power. That nearly two hundred army elites were required to surround and attack him was testament enough to his power.
When Wang Chong soared into the air, everyone had expected him to fail and had prepared for the aftermath. Yet to their surprise, the seemingly much more powerful Dayan Mangban had lost this contest of power, and it seemed like his wounds were not light.
”Brat, I'll give this one to you. I didn't expect you to use this sort of method. But this is far from over! I'll be coming again, and you might not be so lucky then… Retreat!”
Dayan Mangban's voice echoed over the City of Steel, brimming with savagery and loathing. Before anyone else could react, Dayan Mangban suddenly jumped over the city wall and vanished.
”!!!”
The suddenness of this left everyone dumbfounded. No one could have predicted that Dayan Mangban would choose this moment to retreat.
Buzz! Mere moments after he jumped down the wall, there was a flash of light, and Wang Chong floated down from the sky to the place on the wall that Dayan Mangban had fallen.
He looked over the wall and outside. The fearless White Braves who had seemed ready to keep up the attack forever had been thrown into chaos at Dayan Mangban's sudden retreat.
Many of the White Braves were still confused as to what was going on. They only saw Dayan Mangban jump down from the wall, mount a horse, and ride off into the distance, so they followed him.
The undaunted valor of the White Braves had instantly evaporated.
……
”Archers!
”Ready!”
With a grim expression, Wang Chong raised an arm and gave an order. Creakcreak! The archers from the great clans within the city began to jump back onto the walls and pull on their bowstrings.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A dense rain of arrows descended like a cloud of locusts from the 'beehives' installed fifteen meters above the ground, bursting toward the several thousand White Braves.
Neigh!
Warhorses cried as they reared up on their hindlegs. Some of the arrows struck the hindquarters of these horses, causing them to throw off their riders in their painful contortions, while others were struck in vital areas and dropped on the spot.
Bang!
At this sight and the sounds of the neighing warhorses and panicked White Braves, the entire city exploded with cheers.
”Wonderful!”
”We've won!”
”I just knew that with Lord Marquis here, no one could ever capture the City of Steel!”
……
The City of Steel was an ocean of cheers, and on the walls, the clan experts and soldiers from the army found themselves regarding Wang Chong with utter admiration.
At the start of the assault, the archer teams from the great clans had been ready to fire a volley of arrows, but Wang Chong had stopped them.
Everyone had been puzzled by this order, but now, no one questioned Wang Chong's decision.
Although these Tibetans were equipped with thick armor, and their horses similarly equipped, not even the formidable Tibetans could protect the hindquarters of a warhorse.
This was the only weakness in their defense.
This was not because the Tibetans had been careless or neglectful. The hindquarters were where warhorses excreted their waste, and there was also the long tail to consider. Armor for this area was difficult to make and very uncomfortable for the horses, and they often kicked it away.
This wasn't usually any big problem, but at this moment, it became the Achilles' Heel of the Tibetans that Wang Chong now exploited.
Neeeeigh! In a few short moments, one to two hundred Tibetans were brought down to the ground.
”Quickly, save them!”
