Transmigration begins with archery training

"There really isn't!"

"Moreover, I heard that today in the military camp, Commander Chen had a conversation with the avatar of the God of War, saying that the God of War had already been defeated!"

"..."

Under the leadership of Hongzeying.

The morale of the garrison troops gradually recovered, and after reaching the shore, they began to cross the river under the cover of night.

……

Western Qi military camp.

"Immortal Master."

Zhong Wuxin flung open the curtain, his expression somewhat excited, and said, "As you predicted, the 120,000-strong army has already begun crossing the river! And time is of the essence; they can only use the bridge. Should we ambush them while they're crossing, making their journey unsettling?"

"Ta~"

Upon hearing this, Han Xiang picked up a black chess piece and placed it in place of the opposing player.

Then, he placed another white piece and made a new move. Seemingly in a good mood, he patiently explained, "Yun Duan Prefecture has not yet fallen. At most, we can only send two or three hundred men to bypass the city. Any more than that would only expose our tracks and allow us to be attacked from both sides. Do you think two or three hundred men are enough to attack them while they are crossing the river?"

"so.

"Just let them cross the bridge."

"After they cross the bridge, order a master to load the boats into a storage bag and lead two hundred people to silently circle the city. Find an opportunity to burn the bridge and cut off their retreat."

"But……"

Zhong Wuxin had worries, but dared not speak them out.

"If you have any different opinions, feel free to speak them. Sometimes, it is the mediocre who can succinctly reveal the secrets of the universe."

Han Xiang spoke with disdain, but he did not dislike his subordinate's advice.

He enjoys hearing different opinions.

This will further confirm what constitutes a "correct" strategy.

A leader must have his own pride, but he cannot be stubborn and self-willed, otherwise he is just a commoner.

After receiving permission, Zhong Wuxin spoke without any further hesitation: "But now that all 120,000 troops have crossed the river, cutting off their retreat at this time will force them to fight like cornered beasts. The Battle of the Agate River was less than a year ago."

"Agate River~"

Han Xiang recalled the place names and said unhurriedly, "I've read the dossier of that battle, and I've used the 'fight with one's back to the river' strategy myself. But, whether it's fighting with one's back to the river or burning one's boats, it's not as simple as you think, a 'struggle of a cornered beast.' It requires 'hope' to sustain it."

"The Agate River can be formed."

"It's because that fool from the Yuwen clan came out in full force and lost their base."

"This won't happen to us."

"And the soldiers under Chen Sanshi's command, apart from the Hongze Camp, are not his personal guards, so they don't trust him that much."

"If they are truly cut off from their escape route, they will not fight like cornered beasts; they will only live in constant fear until they completely collapse."

"I understand."

Zhong Wuxin clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your guidance, Immortal Master! I will make the arrangements immediately!"

……

The Luo River is a great river!

This happened right after the 120,000 troops of the Great Sheng crossed the river.

Late at night.

A large ship appeared silently on the water.

Beside the large ship were countless small boats, covered with dried grass and wood. The Western Qi soldiers set them on fire and let them drift with the current, crashing into the wooden bridge on the water.

"Hurry up, move faster!"

"The Luo River is a natural barrier, and bridges are difficult to build. If the bridge is burned down, the people of Sheng will be trapped and die on the east bank!"

Lieutenant General Meng Dayi urged in a low voice, "Hurry!"

On the large ship.

A cultivator from Xiqi rose into the air, directly above the flying knife bridge, formed hand seals, and a fireball appeared in front of him, intending to light it first.

"Om-"

But at this time.

A blade formed from frost spun and flew towards them.

The Western Qi cultivator was shocked and hurriedly threw the fireball at them.

The two spells collided and canceled each other out.

A cultivator from the Great Sheng Dynasty arrived in mid-air on his sword, stroking his beard, and said, "Fellow Daoist, why aren't we leaving?"

"Haha~"

The Western Qi cultivator sneered, "Don't rush, I'll leave after my men burn the bridge."

"is it?"

The cultivator from the Great Sheng Dynasty clicked his tongue and said, "I'm afraid it can't be burned."

"Ok?"

Only then did the Western Qi monk see it.

On both sides of the bridge.

They had prepared a large number of small boats equipped with chains, which were used to secure the burning ships before they could get close, and then tow them ashore, making it impossible for them to approach.

"You were prepared all along?"

The Western Qi cultivator frowned: "Very well, then let's meet again another day, fellow Daoist!"

Seeing that other cultivators from the Great Sheng Dynasty were approaching, he didn't linger for a moment. He cast various spells and talismans, and in an instant, he flew a hundred feet away and disappeared, making a hasty escape.

"You son of a bitch, you just ran away like that? What about us?!"

Meng Dayi, a military officer of the Western Qi, launched into a tirade of curses.

There are immortal masters on both sides.

However, these immortal masters will not fight each other unless absolutely necessary, and they will run away faster than anyone else when they encounter danger.

The immortal master is gone.

The deputy general Meng Dayi and the Western Qi soldiers who came to set the fire were naturally slaughtered.

……

Western Qi military camp.

"Immortal Master! Something terrible has happened!"

Zhong Wuxin rushed over to report: "Last night's plan to burn the bridge failed. Chen Sanshi was prepared. None of the officers and more than two hundred brothers we sent there came back alive."

"Dispose of them as you see them."

Han Xiang remained calm and slowly picked up a few white pieces that had been surrounded and trapped, muttering to himself, "The white-robed man isn't stupid; it's normal that he can't master such trivial skills."

"what's next?"

Zhong Wuxin asked, "The 120,000-strong army has already crossed the river and will soon arrive at Yunduan Prefecture. Shall we continue the siege?"

"Withdraw."

Han Xiang made another move: "Before retreating, inflict two minor defeats. During the retreat, discard all spare armor, weapons, and cooking pots and stoves, and leave behind some wounded soldiers. Try every means to lure them to 'Suishichuan' three hundred miles away."

"Yes!"

……

Yunduanfu.

"Brothers, hold on!"

"Reinforcements will be here soon!"

On top of the city wall.

Teng Le's armor was shattered, and he fought fiercely, his body covered in blood.

In the sky.

Qu Yuanxiang even led two cultivators to fight against the cultivators from Xiqi.

A major battle raged from afternoon until late at night.

The army of Western Qi temporarily withdrew.

"My talisman!"

Qu Yuanxiang winced in pain.

After flying back from the sky, he grabbed Teng Le's collar: "Where are the reinforcements? Are they coming or not? If they're not coming, Grandpa Immortal Master, I'm leaving! Do you know how many spirit stones I used up in talismans this night!"

"Please calm down, Immortal Master..."

Teng Le was dissatisfied with the other party, but he had to rely on them for support: "If we can take Mangshan, wouldn't everything be worth it? Besides, Commander Chen and his men will definitely arrive in the next two days!"

"Two days? You can fight yourselves if you want!"

Qu Yuanxiang cursed and said, "If reinforcements don't arrive by dawn, I'm leaving!"

"Immortal Master, Immortal Master, you can't leave!"
