Transmigration begins with archery training

The lieutenant understood immediately and began relaying the orders.

Soon, all the soldiers outside the west gate of Dongyi City withdrew, leaving only three thousand soldiers of the Feixiong Camp, which seemed to be the only way out for the traitors in Dongyi City.

When besieging an army, a gap must be left.

Attacking the city would cause unnecessary losses; forcing them out is the best way to assess their strength.

And they will definitely come out.

Since the city had been without food for half a month, and they had probably even eaten all the clay, if they stayed any longer they would have to resort to cannibalism. It was better to come out and take a chance, even if only one or two people escaped.

"I am Guan Jizeng, a military officer of the Xuanwu Camp, and I will be your chief examiner from now on."

With a deafeningly loud voice, Guan Jizeng explained the more detailed rules to everyone:

"After the people in the city come out, my brothers will go up and fight the enemy. You need to go with them. No one will give you any leeway, so you have to use your skills to the fullest and grab as much as you can. Someone will keep track of your numbers. Got it?"

Just two miles behind them, ten towers, each eight feet tall, had been built out of wood, with people standing on each tower to keep count.

"Do we still need to rob it?"

The generals looked at each other in bewilderment.

There were only 1,500 disciples inside the city, while the Flying Hero Camp soldiers guarding outside numbered a full 3,000, and they were all eager to fight, so they would not give them any chances.

Killing four hundred people is considered top-tier!

Although a high-level martial artist can be worth many, Fei Xiong Camp also has many generals who can kill high-level martial artists as well.

It's like snatching food from a tiger's mouth; it's incredibly difficult!

Following Guan Jizeng's instructions, everyone lined up about three hundred paces outside the west gate, deliberately leaving room for escape, waiting for the people inside the city to come out.

The vanguard generals stood at the forefront, intently watching the city gate, ready to rush forward and fight the enemy at the first opportunity, fearing that they might not be able to gather enough men.

This wait.

That was a full three hours.

I waited from afternoon until dark.

The people inside the city weren't stupid; they could easily see that they were being waited for to die, so they hesitated. By 9 PM, there was still no movement.

Many of the vanguard generals had already put down their weapons and sat down to rest with their eyes closed.

"Could they all have starved to death?!"

Bai Tingzhi was so anxious that he wanted to attack the city.

"Om-"

Just when everyone thought they would have to wait two or three days, at midnight, the city gates finally opened.

The West Gate was a small gate, only wide enough for four people to walk side by side.

"Break through! Brothers, break through!"

"..."

First came a cacophony of sounds and footsteps, and then the first group of disciples from the Seven Absolutes Sect rushed out.

"Well done!"

The vanguard generals roused themselves, waiting for the Seven Absolutes Sect disciples to arrive at the front of the army formation so they could engage in close combat, then fight bravely and compete for the most kills.

"call out--"

However, as soon as the first disciple of the Seven Absolutes Sect appeared, he was met with an armor-piercing arrow that pierced his face and killed him instantly!

"咻咻咻咻——"

Then came the second one, the third one...

The city gate was not wide to begin with, and the sect disciples fell one after another before they even stepped out of the gate. The corpses piled up into a mountain in no time, and not a single one of them was able to escape.

It looks like there's a whole squad of crossbowmen blocking the city gate!

What's going on? Weren't they supposed to be killing the enemy? Why are they blocking them with archers?

Everyone turned to look.

There were no archers, only a young general in a dark blue robe constantly drawing a super-large bow as tall as a person. He held countless arrows in his hands, and his drawing motion was so fast that it left afterimages. Every arrow he shot took a life.

"Chen Sanshi?"

Cao Fan was furious and also picked up his bow and arrow to shoot.

Bows and arrows are something that everyone can use.

In fact, many people brought them, having already figured out a good way to compete for numbers using ranged attacks.

but……

In order to leave room for the people inside the city to escape and to lure them out, the big guys were three hundred paces away!

He worked in the military.

It's absolutely impossible to say that someone is completely unskilled in archery. There are quite a few people who are proficient in archery, but if they can hit a target at most seventy or eighty paces, that's considered pretty good.

What the heck is this "hitting the bullseye every time from 300 paces away"?!

Moreover, the speed at which the arrows were fired was so fast that two or three arrows were fired in the blink of an eye, which perfectly blocked the west gate, preventing anyone from getting out. There was no room for anyone else.

"General Chen is mighty!"

Bai Tingzhi shouted in admiration: "Divine arrow! Divine arrow!"

"Are you stupid? He's your competitor too!"

"I'll be following General Chen sooner or later, so what's the big deal?"

"..."

"Damn it!"

Cao Fan and Lu Shuhua were both quite good archers, and they were carrying bows and arrows weighing around twenty shi (a unit of weight), but they couldn't shoot accurately!

Such a long distance.

Hitting the target with one out of five or six arrows is considered good!

It was clear that Chen Sanshi had already killed dozens of people.

They disregarded their pride and broke away from the army formation, rushing to within a hundred paces. Even so, they were still no match for the enemy.

Drawing the bow, nocking the arrow, aiming—which of these doesn't take time?

But people with the surname Chen just don't need it!

"One hundred and fifty-seven, one hundred and fifty-eight..."

Chen Sanshi silently counted in his mind, his hands never stopping.

Most of these people are training their bones and blood. Occasionally, there are those who are just starting out in refining their internal organs. Because of the narrow space, they cannot dodge or block. Even if they are wearing the armor of the city, they will die within three arrows and cannot get out. As a result, before the real battle even begins, he has already reached one-third of the first-grade standard.

But it's estimated that the other side will also change their strategy; they can't continue to throw their lives away in vain.

really.

The city gate fell silent, and when people returned, they were already holding heavy iron shields.

The four shields advanced rapidly forward like an iron mountain peak.

"Dang Dang Dang——"

Even the most powerful bow is not enough to pierce through a thick steel shield.

Once the shields were in place at the city gate, numerous sect disciples poured out and fled in all directions, only to be stopped by the soldiers of the Flying Hero Camp.

The battle has officially begun!

But this did not affect Chen Sanshi's harvesting speed in the slightest.

He would find a high place, and basically every arrow he fired would be a life.

The rest joined the melee, desperately trying to outdo Fei Xiong's men in killing the enemy. This was not only exhausting but also risky, as they risked encountering high-level martial artists. Most importantly, it was inefficient!

"Three hundred and ninety-nine!"

"Four hundred!"

Chen Sanshi deliberately selected martial artists who had benefited the most from the Bone Refining and Organ Refining stages to shoot and kill, so he soon became the first to complete the Grade A assessment.

Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Using the art of observing qi, the densely packed people in front of me all possess qi of varying strengths.

Among the many types of "qi", there is one that is particularly special.
