Transmigration begins with archery training

The barbarian commander, enduring excruciating pain, tried to grab the spear shaft with his hands to restrict the opponent's movements, hoping to exchange injury for injury.

Unfortunately, he didn't have that opportunity.

A weapon more than three meters long should be very cumbersome, but in the opponent's hands, it was more agile than a dagger. Before he could even see it clearly, the blade disappeared from his arm and flesh, and when it reappeared, it was already stuck in his heart.

"Kaka!"

Chen Sanshi's blood and qi erupted throughout his body, and the power gathered in his strong arms with their knotted tendons, then transmitted to the reed-leaf spear. The spear tip seemed to be a drill, grinding and crushing bones before piercing into his heart.

He hoisted the dead barbarian centurion's body high into the air, waved it like a flag, and then threw it out, knocking down a fleeing cavalryman and his horse.

One!

The barbarian cavalrymen were dumbfounded.

Their centurion was no match for this man!

"withdraw!"

"Get out of here!"

With their commander dead, morale collapsed.

The barbarian cavalry panicked, their formation crumbled, and they fled on horseback.

Unfortunately, the white horse blocked their way, and anyone who dared to approach would be stabbed to death.

In addition, there were more than a hundred Dasheng cavalry chasing after them from behind.

There was no way to retreat, and pursuers were behind.

It's clearly a dead end.

"drop!"

"My lord, spare our lives! We are willing to surrender!"

A barbarian bannerman led the way, and the rest followed.

They all dismounted.

"drop?"

Chen Sanshi frowned: "Who gave you permission to surrender?!"

"What do you mean?"

Before the barbarian cavalry could react, they saw the white swan horse charging at them again, leaving them with no choice but to fight like cornered beasts.

……

"What are you doing?"

Finally arriving at the battlefield, Zhao Kang stared at the white swan horse charging repeatedly and the corpses scattered on the ground, unable to recover for a long time.

One person, one horse.

They routed more than fifty riders, who fled in disarray.

More than fifty riders!

Even those at the Bone Refining Realm will have their Qi and Blood exhausted, and can only rely on their physical strength to withstand the attacks!

That’s all.

The key point is that this family also has a bone-training centurion!

If Chen Sanshi reveals even the slightest flaw, he will be doomed!

The situation is urgent; this is not the time for shock.

Zhao Kang led his men into the battlefield: "Brothers, kill them all! Don't let a single one escape!"

……

The chase ended within half an incense stick's time.

Fifty barbarian cavalrymen came but never returned; the vast majority were killed on the spot, with only two left alive to be tortured for information.

They also captured more than twenty warhorses, as well as several spears and long knives.

"Commander Chen, you're exaggerating too much."

Zhao Kang felt ashamed of himself: "If it were me, I would definitely have lost some of my health to the cavalry, and then be taken advantage of by the enemy general and hacked to death."

"You single-handedly killed more than thirty riders, plus the enemy general who was beyond your realm..."

"Upon returning, the usual rewards will go without saying, and an additional official rank will certainly be awarded."

"Commander Zhao, you flatter me."

Chen Sanshi was covered in blood, but he was in high spirits.

He was delighted, not because of any meritorious service, but because of the remarkable effect of the battle!

The poison in his meridians was almost completely removed, and his marksmanship proficiency increased dramatically.

It seems that bloodshed, especially the potential unleashed when surrounded, is many times more effective than sparring and training!

Simply put, it's all about fighting, and it's awesome!

【Progress: 205/1000】

With the full absorption of the spiritual herbs within his body, his proficiency increased dramatically, comparable to several days of arduous practice.

Zhao Kang directed everyone to clean up the battlefield, then quickly returned in triumph.

But instead of encouragement and celebration, they were met with a solemn and serious atmosphere.

"Urgent battle report delivered over 800 li!"

"The four clans of the grasslands secretly formed an alliance and suddenly launched an attack on the entire territory of the three northwestern border states five days ago!"

"Furthermore, the Fourth Prince Tuoba is leading 50,000 iron cavalry to attack Anding Prefecture!"

"Yunzhou is in grave danger!"

Central military camp.

"A battle report from Anding Prefecture, delivered by urgent courier."

Xiang Tingchun threw down the letter: "Unexpectedly, the four tribes of the grassland, who have been fighting each other for many years, have formed an alliance overnight."

"That's bad enough, but instead of attacking Liangzhou, they've specially dispatched 50,000 troops to attack Yunzhou. The letter says they've already set up camp outside the Great Wall and could launch an attack at any time. The Yunzhou Military Command has ordered us to strengthen our border defenses, hold our ground, and report any developments immediately."

"What do you think?"

All the hundred households were standing inside the tent.

A centurion surnamed Qian spoke up: "Could today's cavalry raid be related to this matter?"

"possible."

Feng Yong continued, "That cavalry didn't seem to be there to plunder; they seemed more like they were testing the strength of the Great Wall's defenses."

"Oh?"

Xiang Tingchun said solemnly, "You mean the Xihe tribe is preparing to launch a preemptive attack on Poyang?"

"This humble servant dares not speak presumptuously."

Feng Yong said, "With the strength of the Xihe tribe, they shouldn't have the guts, but we can't rule out the possibility that they secretly reinforced their troops."

The difficulty of attacking a city and the difficulty of defending a city are two completely different concepts.

To conquer a city, it is often necessary to surround it with several times the number of troops.

"That's unlikely."

Luo Dongquan said in a deep voice, "The three northwestern prefectures plus Anding Prefecture are all dangerous passes. At least 300,000 troops are needed to compete. Even if the four barbarian tribes unite, their military strength and resources are still limited. They have no intention of sending reinforcements to the Xihe tribe."

"That being said, we should still be careful."

Xiang Tingchun ordered, "The Night Scout Squad will advance its reconnaissance mission and depart after the 15th. They must find out the current situation of the Xihe Tribe."

"Yes!"

After discussing the war, the next step was to talk about the rewards for killing the enemy.

"Commander Chen single-handedly defeated thirty light cavalrymen and took the enemy general's life; his bravery is unmatched!"

Xiang Tingchun sighed sincerely, "Even I was far inferior to you back then!"

"I will report to the court and have you awarded the title of Chengxin Colonel."

"From now on, you may use any medicinal herbs in the military camp for medicinal baths, and all of them will be on my payroll!"

"However, starting with the Black Jade Body Protector, the military camp has a limited supply, and all the centurions need to use it, so we can't just take care of you alone."

He was a sixth-rank centurion, initially appointed as the Zhaoxin Colonel.

Upon meritorious service or completion of one's term of office, one shall be granted the additional title of Chengxin Colonel.

This can be understood as a promotion in military rank.

Only after reaching a certain rank can one continue to be promoted.

Without military achievements or significant breakthroughs in one's cultivation level, this process will be very slow.

Even after Xiang Tingchun refined his internal organs, he spent several years in the position of deputy commander before finally becoming a full commander.

"Besides that, what other reward do you want? Just tell me."

"My lord, I need a horse."

Chen Sanshi didn't mince words: "Could I have the twenty horses that were captured?"

"it is good!"

Xiang Tingchun readily agreed: "Not only will you get the twenty horses you captured, but I will also find a way to get you thirty more!"

"Thank you, Master Qianhu!"

Chen Sanshi clasped his hands in a fist salute.

He wanted horses, partly because they were genuinely useful.

On the other hand, the thousand-household office was too poor and clearly could not afford to offer other rewards.
