Start practicing archery

Chapter 92: The Power of the Divine Arrow
Mao Shi.

The sound of trumpets resounded throughout the military settlement.

The soldiers went to the military camp with their families seeing them off.

Sun Li and his sister also put on armor and went into battle with weapons.

"Three stones."

Sun Buqi quickly followed and said, "I have checked the grassland matter for you. The captain surnamed Luo, his subordinates said that he never left alone. Is it possible that Tang Ruoshan was too useless and was exposed?"

"maybe."

Chen Sanshi did not refute, nor was he too lazy to refute.

For people in the Governor's Office, evidence is everything when doing things.

He doesn't need to talk.

Sun Li said: "Don't worry, Junior Brother, we will keep an eye on him."

Arrived at the military camp.

After Xiang Tingchun gave a long speech, all the soldiers entered the Great Wall.

In the following days, you will need to live inside the Great Wall for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, and you must get permission if you want to leave for something.

Each hundred households were responsible for two lookout towers, which were twenty miles apart.

The remaining two hundred martial arts school disciples and more than two hundred new recruits were scattered among them.

The common people were responsible for boiling the golden juice and moving tools such as rolling logs, boulders, and arrows.

Xiang Tingchun, Luo Dongquan, and the unit supervisor, three internal practitioners, personally patrolled day and night.

In addition, a team of night patrol officers would go out of the city every night to conduct reconnaissance.

This task did not fall to Chen Sanshi again.

All that's left is to wait.

Three days later.

Chen Sanshi's swordsmanship quickly reached the basics of bone training, and it was not a hindrance at all when used.

"My lord, it's over!"

Xu Wencai worked for several days and made a simple sand table by hand. Its accuracy was just as good as the one in the central military camp.

He held the stick, his face showing melancholy: "It's over!"

It's time to eat.

Everyone was gathered together in the beacon tower, eating the animal meat brought by Chen Sanshi, so they could hear it clearly.

"Fuck you!"

Zhu Tong went up and kicked him: "When the barbarians come, I will push you off the city wall and let you die first."

“It’s really over!”

Xu Wencai looked serious.

Xu Bin came over and stretched his neck to read: "Old Xu, I have also read the military book. We don't have many people, but after all, we are the defenders of the city. We have no shortage of food and the people in the city can help us. It is still very likely that we can hold on."

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Xu Wencai said to Chen Sanshi: "You don't understand, my lord, you must have seen that the Xihe tribe's reinforcements are very strange, and Anding Prefecture has not made any movement, which is too strange... Unfortunately, the intelligence is not enough, I can't see the specific situation in other places, and I can't analyze what the barbarians want to do.

"But judging from the current situation, they are determined to take Poyang. This is simply going against the will of heaven!"

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi nodded, indicating to everyone that he agreed with this point of view.

Strange indeed.

Even if it involves fairy treasures, it doesn't make sense.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be done secretly?
For example, send a few more masters from the Wushen Sect to practice internal refining and energy transformation.

What does it mean when a large army approaches?
This isn't the way to do a carpet search.

Of course, if there were only 6,000 people, the problem would not be too big. At most, they would have to clear the city walls and have everyone retreat back to the county town, concentrating their forces on defending the higher and stronger city walls.

But what happens next?

No one can tell.

Like Xu Wencai, he had a very bad premonition.

We are not gods, we can only take one step at a time.

"Sir, let's go up the mountain!"

Zhuang Yi proposed this suggestion for the second time: "Take a hundred people and run away. Find a place deep in the mountains and old forests. You will be the king. Build a stronghold, recruit soldiers and start the war."

Zhu Tong agreed with both hands: "Yes, yes, let's also set up a small court!"

"You two have no brains. How can you make such a joke?!"

Xu Bin hurriedly stopped them.

Xu Wencai actually analyzed the situation seriously with them.

Finally, it was concluded that without advanced skills and resources, one would be doomed if one tried to expand.

Of course, everyone was just joking.

Because defending a city is too boring.

Chen Sanshi did not join in the fun. After replenishing his strength, he continued practicing with gun and sword.

In a flash, another two days passed.

[Kung Fu: Immortal Golden Snake Spear. Part 1 (Minor Success)]

【Progress: 308/2000】

His swordsmanship also caught up with his own level.

[Kung Fu: Dian Cang Sword Technique. Bone Training (Minor Success)]

【Progress: 0/2000】

The upper limit of proficiency increases dozens of times.

As expected, after reaching the physical body realm, there is no way to achieve quick success.

The follow-up should still focus on shooting.

"Say it."

"It's been more than ten days since the trip to the grassland ended."

"The news that I captured the Ninth Prince Yuwen alive should have been received in the capital. I wonder if they can give me something."

He did not seek any official rank or title.

I just want a cultivation resource.

The Condensed Body Strengthening Soup is still useful for his minor success in bone training, but it is not enough. He wants to complete his bone training as soon as possible so that he will not be helpless when facing the organ training warriors.

"Enemy attack——"

"Enemy attack!"

Beacon fires were lit on the Great Wall.

Along the 200-li Great Wall, the soldiers, who had been nervous for days, picked up their weapons and went to their pre-assigned positions.

Chen Sanshi also came to the top of the wall with a gun and a sword.

"Dong dong dong dong——"

"Om-"

Along with the thunderous sound of war drums and the majestic sound of trumpets, a black mass of figures gradually emerged on the slope ten miles away. They were the barbarian army.

They arranged their battle formations, set up watchtowers, and faced off against the Dasheng soldiers from a distance.
"drive--"

A black rider was the first to arrive outside the Great Wall, stopped about 200 steps away, and began to run and shout.

"Sheng Dynasty officers and soldiers in the city, listen up!"

"Accept surrender early and avoid death!"

"I'll give you one hour!"

"One hour. If you don't open the city gates in one hour, my Celestial Clan's cavalry will surely crush Poyang to the ground!"

The best strategy is to attack the enemy’s plan; attacking the heart is the best, attacking the city is the worst.

Even if they are of different races and a bloody battle is inevitable, they can still create momentum and boost their morale. Morale is the key to victory or defeat.

"Soldiers guarding the city of Sheng Dynasty, listen up!"

"For you..."

"call out--"

Pfft!
An arrow suddenly pierced the face of a cavalryman who was running at high speed, causing him to fall to the ground with his horse, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Chen Sanshi slowly drew back his bow.

Two hundred steps, killed with one arrow!

"Good arrow!"

"Master Chen is mighty!"

"mighty!"

"..."

Hundreds of officers and soldiers shouted in unison.

"it is good!"

Xiang Tingchun, who was guarding the fortress above the city gate, cheered loudly: "Excellent archery skills! It enhances our military prestige!"

It was clear that only one barbarian cavalryman died.

Everyone felt as if they had gained a huge advantage, even the huge crowd seemed small, and everyone was excited and ready to try.

This is morale!

……

Ten miles away.

Wumer, the barbarian commander on the watchtower car, had an unpleasant look on his face.

The original plan was to intimidate the Sheng people before attacking the city, but it backfired.

"We, the people of the Celestial Clan, rely on archery and horsemanship to gain a foothold. How can we lose to the Sheng people?!"

He asked in a deep voice: "Who is the best archer?"

"I have Shang Jiang Mu Ge!"

At his side, another Qianhu Jirentai said, "This man uses a five-stone bow. One of his three arrows will hit the target within a hundred steps!"

"it is good!"

Wumer gave the order: "Send Qimuge up and tell him that if he shoots the archer just now, he will get a reward of 20 taels of silver, 500 taels of silver, and 300 cattle and sheep!"

……

"here we go again!"

Xu Wencai lay on the ground, looking ahead cautiously as another aggressive barbarian approached.

"Sheng people, if you have any guts, don't use your numbers to bully the few and shoot me with arrows!"

Qimuge didn't bring any other weapons, only a longbow in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Call the archer from before to come out, I want to compete with him in archery, and the winner will be decided by his life!"

"I'm here!"

Chen Sanshi stood on the top of the wall, allowing the other party to approach within about a hundred steps.

“So arrogant?!”

Qimuge gritted his teeth, drew his bow and shot an arrow.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Sanshi did not dodge or evade, but drew his bow and shot a thunderous arrow.

"Ding!"

A slight crisp sound was heard.

The two arrows collided with each other precisely, each deviating in direction and falling to the ground.

"what?!"

Qimuge was shocked.

On the city wall, Chen Sanshi looked down from above: "Come again."

"Come on, come on!"

Qimuge adjusted his breathing, calmly took the bow, and shot three arrows in succession.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

However, every arrow was shot down easily without any error.

"Baturu!"

Qimuge was dumbfounded and stood there motionless. After a long time, he woke up from the nightmare and shouted in fear: "The First Baturu, the First Baturu!"

Fight arrow with arrow.

Only Baturu, the best in the grassland, can achieve such a magical skill!
How could such a remarkable person exist in such a small county like Poyang?
Qimugege didn't dare to compete any further and turned around to run away.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"call out--"

A spade-shaped arrow hit the horse.

The wooden frame fell heavily.

Before he could get up, a willow-leaf arrow pierced his thigh.

Then the other leg, the right hand, left and right.

"what!"

Qimugege was unable to live or die, and just struggled and wailed under the city wall.

“Magic Arrow!”

"Master Chen, you are probably one of the rare archers in the world!"

"Brothers, with Lord Chen here, how can the barbarians break through our Great Wall?!"

"..."

Two hundred miles of the Great Wall.

They passed on what they saw and heard to each other, and deliberately exaggerated it. For a time, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Qianhu Division reached its peak.

……

"waste!"

Wumer yelled, "Jirentai, is this the archer you mentioned?!"

Jirentai said nothing.

Qimuge has at least made some progress in bone training.

Is it so... vulnerable?
"Take a break!"

Wumer said in a deep voice: "We will discuss the siege in two days."

Lost two games in a row.

Attacking the city at this time will only increase the difficulty.

We can only delay it until the other side’s morale is high.

Otherwise, what else can be done?
It's impossible for the two main generals to go and challenge the enemy in person.

Then you will face a hail of arrows.

If there is a chance to kill the main general, there is no such thing as "martial ethics".

...

"My lord, good trick!"

Xu Wencai was amazed: "As a result, the morale of the barbarians has plummeted to the bottom. In the short term, they will definitely not dare to commit crimes again!"

Everything inside and outside the Great Wall suddenly became quiet.

It was not until dawn of the third day that the sound of war drums sounded again.

Dense black dots advanced towards the Great Wall, and the barbarians officially began their siege.
