A faint rustle of wind echoed through the sky, and a black hail of arrows overtook the cavalry as they retreated from the city walls. Warhorses neighed, and cavalrymen fell, amid cries of surprise and pain.
Man Gui shook his head and said, "Why show off your archery skills? You should just dismount and shoot!"
Hu Dawei grinned and was speechless about the command of the Chahar generals.
In reality, the Mongolian cavalry had weak offensive capabilities and their defense skills were not very good. This internal battle among the Mongols was a contest of equals.

Xiao Rongzhe thought about it and nodded in agreement. In terms of time, that was indeed the case. And after examining the city's situation, he was confident they could capture it within half a day, without any mistakes.
