Transmigration begins with archery training

The training is completed before adulthood.

Once they reach adulthood, the gyrfalcon will pledge allegiance to its master by dripping its blood.

If its master dies, it will quickly deliver the news of the death and information to another general nearby, and after completing its final mission, it will starve itself to death.

"From now on, I'll call you Bluebird."

Chen Sanshi casually came up with a name.

The gyrfalcon tilted its head to look at him, seemingly trying to memorize the face and its master's scent, before flapping its wings to indicate that the recognition of its master was complete.

"set off!"

"drive!"

"..."

Under the cover of night, eight hundred light cavalrymen left the city gate one after another and then disappeared into the boundless grasslands and deserts.

Exploration continued for several days.

They roughly figured out the troop deployment.

All-out war has begun.

It doesn't just refer to Liangzhou.

Instead, the war broke out in five provinces: the three northwestern provinces, the other two northern provinces, and Yun Province.

The 14 battalions will make corresponding arrangements based on the enemy's troop deployment.

therefore.

Not only did Chen Sanshi lead his troops out to scout out the enemy's situation, but the other prefectures followed suit.

Liangzhou corresponds to the Yuwen tribe, with a total of about 40,000 troops deployed around it. The number is not large, and they are still setting up camp, showing no signs of rushing to attack.

"So steady and methodical, not in a hurry?"

Behind a hill.

Chen Sanshi sat on the ground, with a map spread out in front of him.

After observing the situation, they discovered that the number of barbarian troops outside Liangzhou was not large.

It should be noted that, due to geographical location and other factors, the main battlefield in the conflict between Dasheng and the Great Desert Barbarians has always been Liangzhou City, while the other states have mostly played a supporting role.

There are now five battalions of soldiers in Liangzhou City, plus the garrison troops, totaling more than 100,000. Among them are the Martial Saint Lü Ji, Pei Tiannan who was unharmed during the last Crown Prince Rebellion, and his master.

Master is old and his lifespan is running out.

But he's not dead yet!

Judging from the situation at the ends of the earth.

Chen Sanshi firmly believes this.

As long as he keeps his eyes open, no ordinary person can harm him.

and so……

Luotian Mountains!

Chen Sanshi suddenly realized.

The reason why Master did not sit in command of the front-line battle is probably because he wanted to stay in the rear and resolve the problem of the Luotian Mountains.

But anyway...

There were only 40,000 barbarian troops outside Liangzhou City, which was far too few.

Moreover, from their observation, the barbarian bandits outside the city gave the impression of being methodical and confident of victory, as if they were not there to fight, but rather to wait to reap the rewards.

With a mere 40,000 people, what makes them so special?

of course.

It is also possible that the barbarians simply set up camp in advance, waiting for the army to arrive.

To determine the specifics, we need to consider the overall picture.

"Judging by the time, the intelligence from the other four states should be delivered soon after it has been compiled."

Thinking like this.

Chen Sanshi ordered his men to wait there.

"Snowing."

Several of his men whispered among themselves.

It is now mid-October.

For the Northern Liang, snowfall was not unusual.

The snow seems to be quite heavy.

Accompanied by a biting wind, the sky was suddenly covered by thick, dark clouds. Goose-feather snowflakes drifted down from the heavens, landing on the soldiers' armor and lingering for a long time without melting. They quickly turned into snowmen. Fortunately, they were all martial artists, and the selected elites were not so weak as to be unable to withstand the cold.

"Why does it suddenly feel like the coldest time of the year is already here?"

"Yes."

"Besides, Liangzhou hasn't had this much snow in recent years, has it?"

"..."

Chen Sanshi stretched out his palm and caught a snowflake, which gradually melted into water after a while.

This snow...

Not right.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of the Luotian Mountains.

Just at this time.

The bluebird returned with intelligence.

Chen Sanshi snapped out of his thoughts, realizing it was best to focus on the task at hand.

The intelligence reports indicate the deployment of barbarian troops in other regions.

After he finished reading it, he handed it over to Chu Shixiong and others.

"how come?!"

Chu Shixiong's body trembled: "The barbarians have deployed 150,000 troops in Youzhou, concentrating the vast majority of their Martial Saint strength, and began their siege ten days ago?!"

It has a vast territory.

Information delays are common.

"impossible."

Xia Cong said incredulously, "They're not attacking Liangzhou, but instead going to attack Youzhou?! Isn't that courting death?"

"correct."

Meng Dingxin said, even more incomprehensibly, "There are still more than 100,000 troops in Liangzhou City behind us. If we can transfer troops there within a month, wouldn't that create a situation where we can attack from both sides and annihilate the enemy?!"

"No, it can't be that simple."

Xiao Zheng added, "The barbarians aren't fools; they must have their reasons for doing this!"

"grown ups!"

"What do you think the barbarians want to do?"

finally.

All eyes were on the commander of Hongze Camp.

Chen Sanshi did not speak immediately, but stared intently at the map.

Youzhou!

If he remembered correctly.

Youzhou currently has two battalions of troops, which Xu Wencai is stationed there. Even if the troops are insufficient, there will be no problem in the short term. Once the reinforcements arrive, the barbarians will be finished.

If you really do this.

Those barbarians are incredibly stupid.

The situation is becoming increasingly bizarre.

Similar situations.

It has happened before.

Ten days in Yunzhou!

At first.

The barbarians didn't attack Liangzhou or Youzhou, but instead went to attack the most useless Yunzhou. The results later revealed that their goal was not land at all, but to slaughter the people for a blood sacrifice.

now.

Instead of attacking Liangzhou, they turned to attack Youzhou, and launched a fierce attack with hundreds of thousands of troops right from the start, intending to perform a blood sacrifice in Youzhou.

Unlikely.

Even the emperor wouldn't have the audacity to cooperate with the barbarians for another blood sacrifice in such a short time. Perhaps in his eyes, the people were nothing more than sacrificial cattle and sheep.

But cattle and sheep are also worth money.

Yunzhou has not yet recovered, and it is said that more than 40% of its land is still barren. If Youzhou were to attack again, the northern border, except for Liangzhou, would truly be finished.

Not to mention, we have the experience from last time.

My master will never be fooled again.

Therefore, this possibility can be ruled out.

So……

What are the barbarians trying to do by rushing into Youzhou?

Are you really not afraid that the more than 100,000 troops of Liangzhou will come out in full force, cut off their retreat, and wipe them out completely?

Luotian Mountains!

It's drawn very clearly on the map.

Youzhou is also adjacent to the Luotian Mountains.

To be precise, it is the Luotian Mountains that separate Youzhou and Liangzhou in the middle.

The barbarians and the Witch God Cult are indeed using the mountains deep in the mountains to lay out their grand scheme!

even.

Even the master doesn't know for sure!

"go!"

Chen Sanshi ordered, "Go to Tiger Hill, complete our mission first, and then go back to discuss the subsequent enemy situation."
