Transmigration begins with archery training

"Fool! Dong An was so close, why couldn't he stop them? No wonder he was suppressed by Feng Chu his whole life. Everyone says he's a military fanatic, but I think he's just a fool!"

"The Western Qi Kingdom has now set up camp in the northwest, waiting for the grain supplies from Jinquan Prefecture! If they have to transport them from within their own territory, who knows how much more cost this battle will incur!"

He will have to rely on this war to gain status and resources from the Western Qi state in the future.

Not to mention, the magical artifacts on his body also need to be defeated to increase their power.

If the supplies are burned, such a huge defeat might reduce our resources even further!

"General, please calm down!"

A general quickly advised, "Is there any other way to remedy this?"

"Now, immediately, immediately!"

Liang Jinian said, "Send 10,000 troops from Meishan Prefecture on large ships and cross the river as quickly as possible. Let's see if we can intercept them halfway!"

"Ten thousand..."

The general asked worriedly, "General, our Meishan Prefecture originally had 50,000 troops. We transferred 30,000 out, leaving us with 20,000. Are you sure you want to send out another 10,000?"

"I have the natural barrier of the Wushui River! What's there to be afraid of! Besides, aren't there still ten thousand men here!"

Liang Jinian urged, "Hurry up, don't waste any more time here!"

"Yes!"

The battle situation is shown in the diagram below.

Note: Black represents enemy pursuers, and red represents the marching route of the reserve battalion.

Liangzhou.

"Eunuch Hou, Governor Pei, I am going to conquer Mingzhou. The Liangzhou army is entirely in your hands. You must keep a close watch on the Great Wall. If the barbarians make any moves, you can adopt a scorched earth policy and retreat into Liangzhou city to hold your ground."

As imposing as a mountain, Lü Ji sat on his fiery steed, giving instructions to the eunuch Hou and the others who remained behind.

"General Lü, rest assured."

Pei Tiannan assured him, "There will be absolutely no problems if the Northern Territory is handed over to me."

"Big Brother!"

"Not a vessel?"

Lu Ji looked at the young master who was riding up on horseback and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'll go as well."

Sun Buqi displayed the long spear in his hand: "I have completed my Bone Refinement, so I can be of help."

"No."

Lü Ji refused, saying, "You and your junior sister should stay in Liangzhou. We don't need you."

"and many more!"

Sun Buqi pressed on, "Senior Brother, tell me the truth, what's the situation in Mingzhou? Why are you sending large troops there again? Has something happened?"

"Dong An."

Lü Ji did not turn back, but took his halberd and rode away, saying, "He has betrayed the country."

Dong An is a traitor!

This kind of high-level intelligence is completely unknown to the rest of the population.

Sun Buqi was struck dumb: "Sister, my brother-in-law..."

Sun Li was not far away, but she did not come up to speak to Lü Ji.

"Map!"

Sun Buqi quickly obtained a map: "If Dong An betrays the country, wouldn't the entire Mingzhou be... Sister, what should we do?"

"My second senior brother and the others wrote to say that they have already sent people over there."

Sun Li bit her lip so hard it almost bled: "Don't tell Sister Lan, okay?"

"You still care about this? San Shi is finished, completely finished!"

Sun Buqi said, "Not only is he finished, the entire Mingzhou is finished! You stay here, I'll go back and see if I can contact Father!"

"..."

Sun Li silently rode back to the Chen residence.

"younger sister."

Gu Xinlan, her pregnant belly prominent, greeted them at the door: "How are you?"

"pretty good."

Sun Li dismounted and forced a smile that wasn't really a smile: "If we win, my little junior nephew will definitely be back before he's born."

"Okay, that's fine."

Gu Xinlan took her hand and said, "Sister, I'll teach you how to make clothes for children."

"Oh that's fine."

……

Yanzhou.

"Second!"

Rong Yanqiu caught up with her second senior brother, Cheng Wei, who was ahead of her: "Has a letter arrived?"

"coming."

Cheng Wei released his gyrfalcon: "Our junior brother is still alive, but the situation is not optimistic. There are hundreds of thousands of troops besieging them, and I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long."

Rong Yanqiu's eyes were sinister: "That guy surnamed Dong is really interesting. The fourth brother has become his lifelong obsession. He's capable of doing this kind of thing just to beat the fourth brother. Don't let me catch him."

"Oops~"

Cheng Wei's attention wasn't on that; he was holding an abacus and exclaimed, "It's all over! It's all over!"

"What do you mean 'finished'!"

Rong Yanqiu coldly said, "Within twenty days, take over Mingzhou!"

"Twenty days won't do; we'll need at least forty more days."

Cheng Wei tapped the abacus beads: "Now that the Western Qi Kingdom has set up heavy troops on the only way south, and has a continuous supply of grain from Mingzhou, it is impossible to take it down in a short time."

"In this battle, the Western Qi Kingdom gained a great advantage. Not only did they fight on our territory, but they also killed our people and depleted our Mingzhou's grain reserves. It was a deal that only made us money."

"Forty days is too long!"

Rong Yanqiu glared at him: "Second brother, aren't you usually the most cunning? You have to find a way to break in within thirty days no matter what!"

"I'm not a god, sending the fourth brother will be the same!"

Cheng Wei put away his abacus: "Unless the central region is vulnerable and someone can go to Jinquan Prefecture and burn down their granaries, it will take two months to transport grain within the territory of Xiqi."

"Once their supplies are cut off, they will naturally retreat, which will give us an opportunity to take advantage of them."

"But do you think it's possible? Zhao Wuji is barely able to protect himself, Sha Wenlong and his group are trapped in Yangchun Prefecture, and Junior Brother is attempting to cross the Hongze River to the east to head south. Who can go?"

……

"There are enemy troops!"

"There are enemy troops!"

Outside Jinquan Mansion.

The rebel soldiers responsible for escorting the supplies were panicked as they watched the rapidly approaching cloud of dust. They couldn't understand where the people came from, especially since they were a cavalry force!

"kill--"

"..."

Before they could make a judgment, the cavalry charged forward, almost unstoppable. The two thousand rebels collapsed in an instant, abandoning their provisions and supplies and turning to run away. The laborers also fled in all directions.

"Burn it! Burn it all!"

Chen Sanshi ordered, "Then go to Jinquan Prefecture!"

"Okay, quick, do as Mr. Chen says!"

Yu Song was momentarily dazed as he looked at the victory that had come so easily.

This includes Xie Sishu and Lu Shuhua.

They couldn't understand.

Why was Chen Sanshi able to so accurately determine the enemy's movements and location, and then find a gap among countless dead ends and squeeze through it?

There are still people ahead!

Lu Shuhua pointed to the figures in the woods ahead: "Brothers, give chase!"

"Don't do anything! It's me, it's me!"

"..."

This group of people, despite being dressed in Red Eyebrow Army uniforms, approached them on their own initiative. There were only about twenty of them, and they were all covered in dust and dirt, thin as skin and bones, looking as if they would fall over in a gust of wind.

"Brother Chen, it's me!"

"Yan Changqing?"

Chen Sanshi quickly recognized the man: "What are you doing here?"
