Transmigration begins with archery training

……

"here we go again!"

Xu Wencai lay on the ground, cautiously looking ahead, when another menacing barbarian approached.

"Shengren, if you have any guts, don't gang up on me and shoot me with arrows!"

Qimuge carried no other weapons, only a longbow in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Call out that archer from before, I want to have an archery contest with him, and let the outcome be decided with my life!"

"I'm here!"

Chen Sanshi stood atop the wall, letting the other party approach to within about a hundred paces.

"So arrogant?!"

With gritted teeth, Qi Muge drew his bow and fired an arrow.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Sanshi neither dodged nor flinched, but instead drew his bow and released a thunderous arrow.

"Ding!"

A soft, crisp sound rang out.

The two arrows collided precisely, each deviating in its own direction, and fell to the ground.

"what?!"

Qimuge was greatly alarmed.

From the city wall, Chen Sanshi looked down and said, "Come on, again."

"Come on, come on!"

Qimuge adjusted his breathing, calmly took the bow, and released three arrows in succession.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

However, every arrow was easily shot down without any error.

"Baturu!"

Qimuge stared in disbelief, frozen in place. After a long while, she awoke from her nightmare and cried out in terror, "The First Baturu! The First Baturu!"

To use an arrow to block an arrow.

Such incredible skill could only be achieved by the number one warrior of the grasslands!

How could such an extraordinary person exist in such a small county as Poyang?

Qimuge dared not continue the competition and turned to run away.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"call out--"

A shovel-shaped arrow struck the horse.

Its wooden frame fell heavily to the ground.

Before he could get up, a willow-leaf arrow pierced his thigh.

Next is the other leg, the right hand, and then left and right.

"what!"

Qimuge was torn between life and death, and so he struggled and wailed at the foot of the city wall.

"Divine Arrow!"

"Lord Chen, you are probably a rare archer even in the whole world!"

"Brothers, with Lord Chen here, how can the barbarians break through our Great Wall?!"

"..."

The Great Wall stretches for two hundred miles.

They shared what they saw and heard with each other, and through deliberate exaggeration, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Thousand Household Garrison reached its peak.

……

"waste!"

Umur roared, "Jirentai, is this the archer you were talking about?!"

Ji Rentai remained silent.

His wooden frame, at least, represents a minor achievement in bone training.

So easily defeated...?

"Let's take a break!"

Umur said in a deep voice, "We will discuss attacking the city again in two days."

They lost two games in a row.

Attacking the city at this time would only increase the difficulty unnecessarily.

We can only stall for time, hoping to buy time when the enemy's morale is high.

Otherwise, what else can be done?

They can't very well have their two commanders personally go and challenge the enemy, can they?

Then they would be facing a hail of arrows.

If there's an opportunity to kill the commander-in-chief, then there's no such thing as "martial virtue."

...

"My lord, what a brilliant move!"

Xu Wencai exclaimed in amazement: "In this way, the barbarians' morale has plummeted, and they will certainly not dare to attack again for a short period of time!"

The area inside and outside the Great Wall suddenly became quiet.

The war drums did not sound again until dawn on the third day.

The dense black dots advanced towards the Great Wall, and the barbarians officially began their siege.

"cheer!"

The centurions responsible for each phase of the Great Wall's defense began to motivate their men to give their all.

The triumph of my archery skills was three days ago; although the momentum still lingers, the excitement has long since faded.

This is also why the barbarians finally attacked the city.

Inside the city gate fortress.

Xiang Tingchun gave the order: "Fire the arrows!"

Immediately, a messenger relayed the order.

Each beacon tower was deliberately equipped with archers and crossbowmen. When the barbarian soldiers approached within about two hundred paces of the road, everyone aimed slightly upwards and fired a volley of arrows, which followed parabolic arcs, resembling a torrential downpour.

Siege warfare.

It's different from how it's portrayed on television.

It's definitely not about grabbing a shield and a sword, yelling "Kill!" and charging in. If that were the case, every single one of them would die.

Siege warfare requires a lot of equipment.

Right now, the first few rows of the barbarian tribes are all wooden canopy carts and saddle-wheel carts.

Wooden curtained carriage.

It is a siege engine with wooden planks for cover.

Thick wooden planks shielded the front of the cart from the rain of arrows, and the soldiers hid behind it as they pushed the cart closer, never revealing themselves.

A wheelbarrow.

It was a similar machine, all made of sheet metal, which was like a group of soldiers carrying iron canopies on their backs as they charged forward.

In addition, the barbarians also formed an arrow formation and fired wildly at the city walls.

It's impossible to stop them with just a rain of arrows. At most, they can only kill a small number of soldiers. In the end, we can only reduce the enemy's numbers significantly when they try to climb the city walls.

Chen Sanshi's 15-stone bow could easily penetrate ordinary rattan shields, cowhide shields, and thin iron shields; basically, a life could be taken with a flick of the finger.

[Skill: Archery (Minor Mastery)]

Progress: (508/1000)

If you continue to hone your skills like this, it won't be long before you master archery.

But he was only one man, how could he withstand an army of thousands?

soon.

The barbarian soldiers arrived at the foot of the city wall and successfully erected a siege ladder.

Ladder.

It's not just a ladder, but a ladder cart, a heavy machine weighing thousands of kilograms. It can be flexibly adjusted at an angle, and it has iron hooks to fix it to the wall. The bottom can even form a triangle with the wall, making it extremely sturdy.

One barbarian after another began to climb up the cloud ladder.

Logs and boulders came in handy, crashing down like a landslide. When a brave man climbed halfway up, a bucket of scalding hot molten gold was poured over his head.

"I've been saving this up for you guys for days, have a taste, everyone have a taste!"

Zhu Tong shouted and poured bucket after bucket of water down the slope.

If scalding heat damages the skin, bacteria and viruses can invade and cause infection. Without effective treatment, it's basically a death sentence.

Chen Sanshi stood guard nearby, and anyone who dared to show their face would be stabbed down with his three-meter-long spear.

The defenders of the city were truly a force to be reckoned with, with one man holding off ten thousand.

Before long, he had stabbed more than twenty people to death, preventing a single enemy soldier from scaling the city wall.

Gradually, things calmed down in the area he was in charge of.

The Great Wall is over two hundred li long.

The barbarians couldn't launch a full-scale attack; they mainly targeted the weak points.

Even so, the first siege did not last long.

Two hours later, the barbarians sounded the retreat.

Siege warfare is inherently a lengthy process.

Today's move is probably just a test.

The soldiers began cleaning up the battlefield and summarizing the battle situation.

In this round, the barbarians lost more than 400 men, while the Poyang Thousand-Household Garrison lost more than 50 men. Most of them were killed by arrows while defending the city, so the casualty ratio looked very good.

But the barbarians sent over today only the "old, weak, sick and disabled".

This can be seen from their tattered leather armor, and so far, not a single bone-training martial artist has appeared. It is clear that they want to use four hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people to find out the true combat strength of the Great Wall.
