My Cultivation Starting from Archery

"Vice Admiral Yu, you flatter me."

Chen Sansi looked at the fish-belly white rising in the east, "We should set off."

"Yes, let's go!"

...

Yan State.

"Old Two, did you see it!"

Rong Yanqiu rushed into the tent, excitedly saying, "Grain and fodder! The little junior brother is still alive, not only alive, but also burned down the granary of Golden Spring Manor along with the supply path!"

When she saw the intelligence report, she almost thought it was fake.

More than three thousand people, after dividing their forces, not only did they not die under encirclement, but they also destroyed the enemy's most crucial grain supply. No matter how the situation in Ming State unfolds from here, it could definitely be considered a major accomplishment.

"Yes."

Cheng Wei, while working his abacus, said, "Now that's good, the cost of this battle for the West Qi Kingdom will double. I bet Zhong Wuxin is pissed off. The junior brother's death was worth it."

"Death?"

Rong Yanqiu, who had just been overjoyed, felt as though she had been doused with cold water, "Old Two, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean, do I need to say it? Ninth Junior Sister is not ignorant of military strategy," Cheng Wei said calmly.

"After this battle, where else could they go?"

"..."

Rong Yanqiu fell silent, "Is there enough time?"

"Stop thinking about it, whether it's us or the Elder Brother on the other side, it's too late to save them."

Cheng Wei spoke calmly, "But it doesn't matter, the little junior brother has saved us so much trouble, I will remember him. In the future, on every memorial day, I will not fail to burn paper offerings for him."

"I'll burn you!"

Rong Yanqiu snatched the abacus directly, "Old Two, cut the crap, tell me, how can the little junior brother survive?"

"..."

Cheng Wei said helplessly, "Ninth Junior Sister, pressing me is useless. There really is no way, unless they find the nonexistent escape route themselves, otherwise, no one coming would help. Start preparing the spirit money ahead of time."

"Bullshit!"

Rong Yanqiu couldn't be bothered to ask any more and muttered, "You can't find a way to survive, but can't the little junior brother find one? You didn't imagine the granary burning either. You just knock on that abacus all day long, your brain is broken."

"It's true."

Cheng Wei had to admit, "The little junior brother is comparable to Old Four. In this regard, I am not as good as him. Then, let's hope he has a natural lucky aura."

...

Four hundred li west of Golden Spring Manor, Zhao Wuji's remnant camp.

"They left? How could they leave!"

Zhao Wuji looked at the message brought back by Hai Dongqing, his features stiff, "Without joining me, where could they go? Tong Prefecture is the best next stop!"

"Commander, it's bad news!"

"Two hundred li in the west, a West Qi army of twenty thousand has been discovered, along with two Mysterious Phenomenon Realm commanders!"

"Did Chen Sansi know already?"

Zhao Wuji quickly summoned his scribe, "Wait, can't I just join them? I'll defect to them!"

But it was probably too late.

Even Hai Dongqing had a big delay.

It was only today that he received the intelligence, but Yu Song had likely led his forces several days' journey away by now. Not to mention the pursuing forces from Golden Spring Manor, even if they defeated that pursuing force, by the time they reached Golden Spring Manor, tens of thousands of enemy troops would probably have just arrived.

"This kid..." Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

Zhao Wuji sat despondently on a rock, "He's played us all..."

Even he, looking over the marching route of the Reserve Camp, had been utterly convinced at one point that they were coming to join him.

Fine then…

He didn't know if that kid could survive, but if he had the guts to use this kind of daring strategy, the Eight Camps would likely see another Fang Qingyun emerge. No, perhaps even stronger than Fang Qingyun.

"If only I had known earlier!"

If Zhao Wuji had changed his strategy sooner, why would his Liangzhou troops have come to such a pass?

"All troops, break out!"

...

Yangchun Prefecture, rebel army camp.

Dong An looked at the map hanging on the wall, his expression solemn. In front of him, there was also a chessboard, a game he played with Chen Sansi, with himself playing black and the opponent white. But he could only see the opponent's last move, guessing how to respond to the current play. Every misjudgment led to irreparable consequences, and he had already miscalculated once – he could not afford another mistake.

For him, it was no longer about victory in battle.

It was about the dignity of a commander!

"A general's incompetence spells disaster for his troops," that saying was fitting.

Fang Qingyun was one thing.

If he, Dong An, truly lost to a young man, what face would he have left to live, what face to challenge Fang Qingyun? That guy wasn't even into Martial Arts for more than a year.

"Click~"

Eventually, his fingers pressed the chess piece hard down on the board: "Die!"

The original garrison forces of Golden Spring Manor hadn't sent back any news until now.

Which means no grain supply.

Even Golden Spring Manor might well have fallen.

Such fast speed!

They were definitely unable to have horses when crossing the river back and forth unless the warhorses could also march and fight, waiting by the river in advance!

"There must be a rare breed of treasured horse, and it's one of the most precious in the world. He, a Thousand Captain, where could he get such an Exotic Beast, it's already illogical. So, this defeat, is still excusable!"

Dong An consoled himself internally.

"Fortunately, it ends here!"

All the calculations for marching and fighting, attrition, and even morale passed swiftly through his mind. This was his unique skill, born to wage war with his own mind.

According to his estimation.

The Reserve Camp whether joining Zhao Wuji's remaining forces or staying to defend Golden Spring Manor, was on a path to death. A message would likely come in a day or two.

"Commander, the grain supplies have arrived!"

"If they've arrived then continue the siege, is there a need to ask me?"
