Chapter 493: The First Battle! Sweep Away Everything! (II) (2/2)
The Stellar-Energy-infused scimitars and spears of the Tibetans worked with their resonating halos to slash and cut at the black armor of the Great Tang cavalry. Yet these scimitars that were able to cut through stone bounced off like they were hacking at walls of steel, leaving not a single mark behind.
”What's going on?”
”How could this be?”
……
In an instant, all the Tibetans were stunned and panicked by the result.
The Tibetans here had all taken part in at least two battles. They had the sufficient experience, strength, and energy, and they had killed no small number of Great Tang cavalry.
But no Great Tang elite had been like this, wearing armor that was so impervious. Their scimitars hadn't even been able to dent it, much less slash through it.
”Kill!”
They were given no time to comprehend. Clangclangclang!Sword were raised and slashed through the air, their sharp edges cutting through Stellar Energy and flesh.
One by one, the Tibetan cavalrymen were cleaved in two by these swords before they could even react, swept away without even being able to block a single blow.
The majestic and forceful Stellar Energy on their bodies was cut apart like tofu by those strange swords.
Thumpthumpthump!
These Tibetan cavalrymen that been full of bluster just a moment before now began to drop to the ground without even a groan, the chunks of their bodies like fallen wooden beams.
A single exchange had left more than two hundred Tibetan cavalry hacked down like barley stalks.
”What sort of weapon is this?”
The remaining Tibetans paled in shock and began to scatter. But before they could get very far, several swords would slash down and they would fall, their wounds glossy with blood.
”How is it? Are there any survivors?”
A stalwart giant of a man stopped in front of the last Tibetan corpse and turned to look back.
”There's no more. All 347 Tibetans are accounted for!”
Zhao Jingdian reined in his horse, glanced at the pile of corpses behind him, and then cleaned the sword in his hand.
This was not the first time he and Li Siye had worked together. The pair had deeply cooperated with each other when training the clan experts in Deflecting Blade Manor.
”Let's clean the place up. Bury the bodies to avoid disease!” Li Siye ordered, and then he swept his gaze over the scattered Tibetan corpses, his heart greatly moved.
What a sharp saber!
He was already well aware of the sharpness of the Wootz Steel weapons, but not even he had imagined that a thousand men equipped with Wootz Steel weapons would display such power.
In normal circumstances, these three hundred Tibetans would need some time to annihilate, even with an advantage of numbers, and a significant price would have had to be paid.
But against one thousand Wootz Steel swords, these Tibetans hadn't even been able to last a few moments before being utterly defeated. Their side hadn't even suffered a death.
This disparity in casualties was unimaginable on the bitter grounds of the battlefield.
In truth, Li Siye was not the only one shocked by the result of this battle. The True Martial realm experts of the great clans were also astonished.
”It's so sharp!”
”A good sword, a good sword!”
”It's truly inconceivable. I've been hearing for a long time that Wootz Steel weapons are all-conquering, but I didn't think that they would be sharper than rumored. Even armor as thick as this was cut open!”
”This battle was way too easy!”
……
Although these experts had experienced their fair share of life-or-death battle, this was still their first actual battle. This result had caused their confidence to swell.
At this moment, probably only Wang Chong was unsurprised at this result.
”Congratulations to user for killing 345 Ü-Tsang regular cavalry!”
”Congratulations to user for killing 346 Ü-Tsang regular cavalry!”
”Congratulations to user for killing 347 Ü-Tsang regular cavalry!”
……
A string of messages flew through his mind, ultimately stopping at 347. And with these voices, an invisible energy began to flow toward him, strengthening Wang Chong.
His Bane of the Battlefield halo was strengthened once more. Just one battle had equaled Wang Chong's harvest in exterminating the Goguryeon assassins and King Sosurim.
Wang Chong closed his eyes and sensed the increase in energy within his body. After a few moments of silence, he opened his eyes once more.
”As expected!”
A thought flitted through Wang Chong's mind as his gaze swept over the slain Tibetans.
In his last life, an army of only ten thousand Arabian Mamelukes equipped with Wootz Steel weapons had swept through the entire Great Tang army. The sharp Wootz Steel weapons had been unstoppable, cutting through soldiers like they were melons or vegetables.
For him to use the same strategy against the Tibetans had naturally given the same result.
But at this time, Wang Chong had no mind to ponder these matters. He had more important concerns than this small-scale battle.
”Hyah!”
Wang Chong urged the White-hoofed Shadow toward that distant hill, riding through the battlefield toward those ten-some Great Tang soldiers.
