Transmigration begins with archery training

Now, the task has become to rush to Wolf Dwelling Mountain as soon as possible, destroy the array's core, and break the Blood Sacrifice Array.

"General!"

"The Agate River is just ahead!"

"The river is covered with thin ice, making it impossible for people and horses to pass. We need to build a pontoon bridge!"

Do I need to say it?

Chen Sanshi ordered, "Build a bridge immediately and cross the river as soon as possible."

"But my lord..."

Xia Cong presented a letter: "Another letter has arrived from Liangzhou. His Highness says that our spies planted in various tribes in the northern desert have informed us that the barbarians have foreseen our movements. Yuwen Jingwen has already mobilized a large army to surround us, probably numbering over 100,000. Once we cross the river, we will have no way to retreat."

In war, both sides often have spies or informants on the other side. They may not be able to obtain classified information, but they can often know the movements of the other side's army.

Seeing that the general did not waver.

Chu Shixiong reminded him again: "My lord, we have an army of 100,000, and a Martial Saint among them! Yuwen Jingwen is no ordinary good-for-nothing like Murong Chao; he is a renowned general of the Yuwen clan. Once we cross the river, it will be too late to retreat!"

"There is no way out, so we will not retreat!"

Chen Sanshi knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless, so he simply stopped explaining: "Write a letter to Liangzhou and tell them that I am going to cross the river, that I am going to..."

"A last-ditch fight!"

On the vast, white desert.

The soldiers of Hongze Camp began to use the materials they had collected from the barbarian tribes along the way to build a pontoon bridge across the wide Agate River. This pontoon bridge, which was built in a short time, could only accommodate one person at a time.

Once the army crosses the river, it will inevitably be discovered. At that point, it will be virtually impossible to retreat while the enemy watches you cross the bridge one by one.

therefore.

After crossing the river, if one cannot win, one will die.

There is no escape route.

And they.

Fifteen thousand people.

Facing the encirclement and pursuit of an army of 100,000, they captured the stronghold guarded by the Martial Saint, resupplyed, and quickly headed north to leave the area.

Even any master of military strategy would say that this is an impossible task.

……

Agate River.

Barbarian village.

"Report——"

"Your Majesty!"

"After the Frost City, the Hongze Camp marched north, slaughtering five of my tribes with overwhelming force. They have now reached the banks of the Agate River, and by the time they were discovered, they were almost finished crossing the river!"

"..."

"Fourth Uncle, they really have arrived!"

The Ninth Prince, Yuwen Xin, was both excited and nervous. His palms were sweaty as he gripped his sword. He said, "No matter what, I am Chen Sanshi's nemesis!"

"Back then, he was just an unknown nobody, and his first enemy was me!"

"Now, his fame resounds throughout the world, but I am still the one standing in his way!"

"I, Yuwen Xin, am Chen Sanshi's nemesis!"

"Good, that's the kind of momentum we want!"

Yuwen Jingwen said in a deep voice, "Send the order down to the entire army to be on high alert. If the Hongze Camp dares to cross the river, make sure they don't return!"

……

Liangzhou.

"Rumble--"

The Blood Sacrifice Array accelerated its operation.

The blood mist surging from the black vortex completely obscured the entire sky.

then……

The sky is falling!

That's right, the sky has fallen!

Everyone could clearly see that the sky was getting lower and lower, and the distance between the blood mist and the ground was rapidly shrinking, as if it would fall at any moment and completely engulf the earth.

"Da da da--"

Walking down the street, birds whose wings touched the blood mist would occasionally fall from the sky, crashing to the ground and turning into blood in people's eyes.

"God damned!"

"Is this...is this some kind of divine intervention?!"

"Oh my God!"

"Don't panic—"

"There is no divine retribution; it's all the evil people of the Witch God Cult causing trouble!"

"Our Northern Liang army will find a way to rescue everyone outside the city!"

The Northern Liang army, trapped inside the city and unable to leave, naturally had to take on the responsibility of maintaining order.

"magician?!"

"The sorcerers of the Witch God Cult can blot out the sky?!"

The more they say that...

People became increasingly fearful.

"I told you not to act recklessly!"

"A large army is outside the city and will rescue us!"

"My lord, aren't you all inside the city? Which generals are stationed outside the city?"

"Lu Ji, General Lu, and Chen Sanshi, General Chen!"

"General Chen is outside?!"

Hear the words.

People's emotions immediately stabilized.

"Help!"

"We can still be saved!"

"Lord Chen will definitely save us!"

"Yeah!"

"strangeness……"

A military officer stopped a civilian and asked, "Why don't you mention General Lü, but only General Chen? Wasn't General Lü brave?"

"Who in the world doesn't know how brave General Lü is?!"

"But what does that have to do with us?"

"..."

……

The Governor's Office.

"What a good thing!"

Sun Buqi paced back and forth in the courtyard.

Who would have thought.

A perfectly good Northern Expedition has turned out like this.

"This time, even Father is trapped!"

Sun Buqi said, "Do we have to rely on Senior Brother and Sanshi all of a sudden? But I heard that Sanshi didn't go to Youzhou, but went to Mobei instead. Could something have happened to him? Wouldn't that mean my sister will be a widow before she's even married?"

"Young Master, if you continue to spout nonsense, I'll have to teach you a lesson on behalf of the Master!"

The butler rolled up his sleeves, pretending to hit him.

He claimed to be the steward, but he was actually one of the earliest brothers to follow Sun Xiangzong.

Sun Li sat in the room, looking out the window at the red clouds in the sky. Her cheeks and even her pupils were reflected in a blood-red color, making it impossible to see her true expression.

"Second Mother, why have the clouds in the sky turned red?"

Chen Yunxi hid next to the woman: "They're saying outside that there's a monster that's going to eat us."

"Don't be afraid, Xixi."

Sun Li held the girl's small hand tightly: "Your father will definitely come to pick us up. Hey, what did you just call me?"

"Second Mother."

Chen Yunxi said earnestly.

……

Great Wall.

"How about it?!"

"Have all the letters been sent out?"

"Your Highness, they have all been sent out! We have also told them that the Agate River area is currently heavily besieged and they cannot go there under any circumstances."

"Hopefully Chen Sanshi will come to his senses in time."

Cao Huan paced back and forth until he was exhausted before finally sitting down: "If we turn back, we can still participate in the war in Youzhou. Otherwise, there will be no turning back."

"almost."

Cheng Wei fiddled with the abacus, meticulously calculating the travel time: "General Lü has almost arrived in Youzhou. If General Chen returns by the same route, it will only delay the journey by about twenty days, which is not a problem."

"Well, then..."

"Report!"

A fast horse arrived at the camp.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

"General Chen has replied!"

"Instead of turning back, they sped across the river, saying they were going to fight to the death and cut off Yuwen Jingwen's head so that the Divine Eagle could bring it back to His Highness!"

"What? Didn't I already tell him that the barbarian army is converging on the Agate River? A desperate battle with their backs to the river is absurd!"
