Transmigration begins with archery training

"

Where is Chen Sanshi?

Zhou Rong asked, "Why didn't we see him during last night's chaos?"

"Did you see Chen Sanshi last night?"

Zhou Rong ordered the entire army to halt its advance, then summoned all the generals commanding ten thousand men and questioned them.

"Didn't see it."

"I definitely didn't see it."

"Now that you mention it, it's true."

"..."

Ling Qia, a martial arts practitioner from the Ling family, said, "After each battle, we remain hidden and focus all our energy on dealing with Chen Sanshi to prevent him from suddenly appearing anywhere. But last night, we only saw him on a small boat in the distance and he didn't make a move."

"A small boat?"

Zhou Rong squinted his eyes: "Tell me in detail."

"That's what it means."

Ling Qia repeated, "He was standing on a small boat, retreating with the main force of the rebel army. I was worried that he might have some tricks up his sleeve, so I didn't rush in. We just stood there facing each other from a distance."

"..."

Zhou Rong's expression hardened: "The entire army shall rest on the spot, withdraw the vanguard troops from the enemy's naval camp, and then search our fleet one by one!"

"Governor Zhou..."

King Qi pondered the implication: "Is this because they're worried Chen Sanshi might sneak in during the chaos?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Ling Qia confidently stated, "Yesterday was supposed to be a chaotic battle, but our army mainly relied on the 'Flying Cloud' and 'Covering Sea' ships to push forward, while the smaller warships in the rear maintained their formation. There were absolutely no abnormalities."

"I can guarantee that."

Qiu Xin, a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator from the Shengyun Sect and a first-tier array master, was also the commander of the Shengyun Sect cultivators who participated in the Battle of Red Cliffs. He said with certainty, "The warships all have water control arrays. Each array corresponds to a core array flag. Only those who hold the core array flag can enter and exit freely."

"As for the small and medium-sized warships behind us, our cultivators are overseeing the entire situation, and there are even people patrolling underwater, which almost eliminates the possibility of them infiltrating our territory."

"Yes, Lord Zhou."

The eldest sister of the Ling family spoke in a cold voice: "Even if we take a step back and assume that Chen Sanshi really did sneak onto our ship alone, he would be discovered immediately if he made any noise."

"At that time, it won't just be our Ling family dealing with him, but all the cultivators. We'll form a complete Guishui Demon-Slaying Formation, and with the second-tier Water Control Formation as our defense, we'll definitely be able to take his life within ten rounds."

"You're right."

Qiu Xin waved his sleeve and said, "Even if he is invincible among those of the same realm and grows stronger with each battle, he is still only of the same realm. He is not a mid-stage True Power cultivator, nor is he a Foundation Establishment senior. There is nothing to be afraid of!"

Those who cultivate immortality, whether through martial arts or magic, will ultimately not surpass their own cultivation level by much; otherwise, their cultivation level would become meaningless.

Moreover, they were on the Luoxiao River, which gave them a perfect advantage in terms of timing, location, and people. They were able to steadily suppress the white-robed man's fire-elemental true power. As long as they could work together, they had nothing to fear.

Unless the army is completely defeated, Chen Sanshi will lead his cultivators to attack.

"According to you, he won't come here to die."

Zhou Rong nodded, fiddling with the jade thumb ring on his thumb, lost in thought.

"Governor Zhou."

Yan Hongyuan spoke up, "Aren't you being overly cautious?"

"I think so too."

King Qi then said, “Zhou Lang’s caution is a good thing for our army, but excessive caution may lead to missed opportunities. Now that the rebel navy has been defeated and is fleeing, it is the time to pursue them.”

"..."

Zhou Rong did not rush to give orders, but turned around and went back to the cabin, standing calmly and silently in front of the hanging map.

"Governor Zhou!"

Yan Hongyuan said anxiously, "We can't let this continue. The rebels are about to escape to the 'Wanliu Region,' which is the perfect opportunity to surround, intercept, and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

"The old general is right."

Qiu Xin continued, "Our spies have reported that the fake court in Youlan Capital is preparing to move the entire court north. If they are allowed to return to Beiliang alive, there will inevitably be more trouble in the future."

at last.

Zhou Rong made up his mind, drew his sword from his waist, and pointed at the map with the blade, saying: "Qiu Xin, you lead a fleet westward from Runxi River, fifty miles ahead, and then stay there to ambush at the exit of Green Ant Marsh, cutting off their retreat to the west."

"Yan Hongyuan, you will lead two cultivators and 50,000 troops to abandon the ship and go ashore 80 miles ahead. In Xupu Prefecture, you will transfer to warhorses and head all the way to Guanghan Prefecture to cut off the exit of Donghan Lake."

"The rest of you, continue the pursuit along the river with us, and trap all the rebels inside Donghan Lake!"

Donghan Lake.

It is the largest lake in the Chibi River Basin. From the map, the entrance is wide, but the western exit is extremely narrow, barely wide enough for a large ship to pass through. If it is damaged, it would be as if the ship were trapped in Donghan Lake.

"What a brilliant strategy of catching a turtle in a jar!"

King Qi praised, "As long as we can force them into Donghan Lake, none of them will be able to escape!"

Two hundred thousand rebel troops.

They will all perish here!

Wars on land often last for months or even years, and wars on the river are by no means something that can be ended overnight, especially since the Luoxiao River is the largest river in the entire Great Sheng Dynasty and is extremely wide.

Five days had passed since all the tactics were executed.

Fortunately, everything went well.

"Lord Governor!"

"After discovering that there was no way to retreat to the west, the rebel navy had no choice but to head towards Donghan Lake in the east!"

"..."

"it is good!"

King Qi said excitedly, "Within a month, my army will drive the rebels into Donghan Lake like sheep. At that time, the rebels will be like turtles out of the pond, waiting to be crushed by us!"

Zhou Rong showed no joy.

because……

Chen Sanshi still hasn't shown up!

……

Chang'an, the capital city.

Zhongjue Hall.

"A great victory at Red Cliffs!"

The Battle of Red Cliffs was located in the eastern part of the Central Plains, not far from the capital, so battle reports could be transmitted at the fastest speed.

"A resounding victory? So quickly?!"

The regent, the King of Qin, personally reviewed the contents and then burst into laughter: "Zhou Rong's wisdom is no less than that of the White Robe!"

"Look, everyone!"

"What a brilliant series of stratagems in the Battle of Red Cliffs!"

The white-robed man first used the Heavenly Book Formation to force the Jiangnan navy to use the Chain Lock, and then used Sima Yao to stage a self-inflicted injury ruse, almost setting the fire on the inside.

The result was at a crucial moment.

Zhou Rong easily broke through the ruse of feigning injury and then defeated the enemy army.

"Now, even I, who has never led troops into battle, can understand it."

Yan Maoxing pointed to the lake on the sand table and said, "As long as we force the rebels into Donghan Lake, they won't be able to escape unless they can make all their warships fly!"
