Transmigration begins with archery training

"Sha Wenlong, prepare to die—"

In the chaos, Xiang Tian, ​​a Xuanxiang Realm general of the enemy army, led a group of elite troops to attack.

"Oh no, we can't get out! Retreat! Retreat!"

Sha Wenlong had no desire to continue fighting and immediately led his soldiers back the way they came: "Your Highness, stay close to me!"

But leaving the city is easy, returning is difficult.

A night of fierce fighting.

Fortunately, they had left over a thousand men in the city as a rearguard beforehand, which prevented the entire army from being wiped out. They managed to return to the city by daybreak, but the losses were extremely heavy. Of the ten thousand men, only three thousand remained!

"what!!!"

Sha Wenlong roared in fury, found the scout who had brought the news earlier, and nearly killed him with a single blow: "Bastard, didn't you say you saw them fighting in the south and routing the enemy army?!"

"General, it's true, I swear, I saw it with my own eyes!"

The scout said, his voice trembling with tears, "I don't know why they left so quickly."

"Chirp—"

at last.

The gyrfalcons that were sent out earlier have returned.

"asshole--"

Sha Wenlong's hands trembled as he held the intelligence: "Disobeying orders! That Chen dares to disobey orders! The attack outside is a feint. Their troops are already heading east along Eagle Beak Mountain, preparing to cross the Hongze River for the third time!"

Three crossings!

"I knew it……"

Cao Fan wasn't too surprised: "Chen Sanshi definitely wouldn't be willing to risk his life for us."

"He's not a deputy commander! I specifically assigned him a deputy commander position before I divided his troops!"

Sha Wenlong said furiously, "How dare Yu Song disobey orders? Is he tired of living? I'm going to kill him. When we get back, I'm going to hang his head on the gate of Liangzhou as a warning to all!"

They could have held on for a while longer.

But now only three thousand people remain.

They breached the city only recently!

"What are they doing crossing the river three times? And why are they heading south?"

Cao Fan frowned: "Trying to run away?"

"They can't escape, dream on!"

Sha Wenlong said, "Meishan still has troops, and there are also large armies pursuing them from the flanks."

……

Meanwhile, at the rebel camp.

"drive--"

Dong Anqin spurred his horse and galloped away, followed by five thousand elite troops.

The fools in Yangchun Prefecture have been basically dealt with, and it won't be long before the city falls and everyone dies. His primary goal is to personally twist off Chen Sanshi's head to vent his hatred.

I tricked him twice!

The highest-ranking officer among the remnants of the reserve battalion is only a junior officer at the Meridian Opening Realm. With him coming personally, there will be absolutely no accidents.

"Brothers, whoever can cut off Chen Sanshi's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold pieces, and I'll guarantee him access to Tongmai resources!"

"Kill me——"

"Shut up!"

"W-what are you doing?"

Dong An looked at his men, who had been leisurely preparing in advance and should have been fighting the remnants of the reserve battalion at this time, and his heart sank: "What are you doing here? Where are they!"

"Sir, there's...nobody here!"

The soldiers answered, trembling.

"Nobody? Nonsense. That huge commotion earlier... was it a feint? If they're not attacking Yangchun Prefecture, where else could they be? Could it be..."

Suddenly, Dong An realized something, and everything went black before his eyes. He fell straight off the horse.

"Commander!"

"General, how are you?!"

"..."

After an unknown amount of time, Dong An slowly opened his eyes. In that instant, he seemed to have aged ten or twenty years, transforming from the high spirits he displayed at the start of the war into someone resembling an old man.

"quick……"

He seemed to be seriously injured, his voice extremely weak: "They must have crossed the Hongze River three times. Quickly, quickly inform Jia Laosi. If I remember correctly, after he chased to the east bank last time, did he stay on the east bank? Tell him to stop Chen Sanshi!"

"Also, tell Liang Jinian from Meishan to make sure he assesses the troop deployment at Luotian Pass based on the situation, and absolutely not to let them leave the Great Wilderness, otherwise we will never be able to catch up."

"Yes!"

"Help me up, help me up..."

No one present could understand why a dignified commander of the Profound Elephant Realm would become so dejected simply because the enemy army had fled, even though it wasn't like they had lost the battle.

With help, Dong An stood up and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Three times! He tricked me three times! Each time, I was half a step behind him, just half a step away!"

But this half-step is deadly!

If only someone could look down on Minnesota as if they could look down on the earth.

You'll see that Chen Sanshi and his men practically escaped by brushing past the main army! They almost greeted each other face-to-face! He's fought a lifetime of battles, why was he played like this?

Did Fang Qingyun teach him that?

Do not!

Even Fang Qingyun couldn't do it!

If it were Fang Qingyun, at most he could only burn the grain supplies and then go to attack other cities!

How can this young man come up with such a strategy? Is he really born to fight, or did he learn it from someone?!

He's leading an army of hundreds of thousands by the nose!

Three thousand men outmaneuvered an army of over ten thousand!

Next.

This is the last chance!

If Luotian Pass falls, it would be tantamount to releasing a tiger back into the mountains!

……

Hongze River.

Chen Sanshi led the group across the river once again.

Chihiro and her subordinates found a place to hide.

Bai Tingzhi and Xu Wencai, who were responsible for covering the rear, also returned on time. This time the losses were quite heavy; of the nine hundred people who went, only six hundred or so returned.

"grown ups!"

Xu Wencai said breathlessly, "Yangchun Prefecture is about to fall. The scouts have reported that Sha Wenlong and his men failed to break through the siege last night and retreated back into the city. They have at most three or four thousand men left. If there are a few more rounds of fierce attacks, either the city will fall and everyone will die, or they will abandon the city and flee, only to be hunted down to death."

Hear the words.

Lu Shuhua, Xie Sishu, Yan Changqing, and others all felt a lingering fear.

It seems that Dong An had indeed laid a trap long ago, just waiting for them to fall into it. Fortunately, they listened to Chen Sanshi's advice and crossed the Hongze River three times, which allowed them to seize a sliver of hope.

At this moment, how could the three of them dare to have even the slightest bit of arrogance in their hearts?

Along the way, even the most stubborn people would be won over by Chen Sanshi's repeated correct judgments, and imperceptibly, he would become the de facto supreme commander.

"General Manager Chen, we've crossed the river again, so what's next?"

"Yes, a large force will be chasing us from behind soon."

"We'll listen to you, and we promise there won't be any more objections."

"..."

"Rest and recuperate here for three days!"

Chen Sanshi said, "Three days later, we will head south. There may be a tough battle to fight along the way, and then we will make further plans."

He had a general plan in mind.

However, the situation on the battlefield changes in real time, so it's useless to say it in advance.

From Eagle Beak Mountain to now, almost twenty days have passed.

What looks like a short distance on the map is actually quite far in reality, which is why the pursuers have been left far behind and unable to catch up.
