My Cultivation Starting from Archery Chapter 246 - 147: One General Achieves Success Part 3

Chen Sansi closed his eyes, "You’re right."

He understood all this well enough; the other’s admonishnts severed the last shackle in his heart.

The battlefield was just like that.

Without sacrifice, there could be no victory.

"Knowing I’m right is good!"

Yu Song looked at him, his voice trembling slightly with excitent, "So, put away your pathetic, cowardly sympathy and pity! Those who are benevolent don’t handle money, and those who are kind don’t command troops!

"On the battlefield, it has always been that for one general’s success, thousands of bones lay dry—a tiless truth!

"But as long as they die a worthy death, the brothers will absolutely have no grievances!"

"Don’t talk anymore!"

He looked at the other, preparing to speak, but interrupted, "You kid are talented, but your biggest flaw is still your youth, hence your heart is too soft towards our own people! I hope that after this battle, you can transform, you can grow, and beco a true general, and in the future, beco a true commander!"

"You don’t have the right to refuse.

"I listened to you before because you were right, but this ti, you’re wrong!"

"And don’t forget, I’m the assistant general of the reserve camp, and you’re just a thousand captain. Military orders are like mountains; you have no right to defy them!"

"I understand."

Chen Sansi wasn’t being sentintal. When he reopened his eyes, his gaze had beco resolute, "After dawn, please Vice Admiral Yu select one thousand cavalryn to attack Luo Tian Pass. The more noise, the better, but for the first two days, try not to suffer too much loss. Drag it out as long as possible. Additionally, send soone to watch over Southern Wilderness Mountain. Once you see from the west bank of Hongze River, toward ishan Prefecture, a large army approaching, imdiately set fire to the mountain to send a signal. Then I will seize the opportunity to cross Wushui River and head straight for ishan Prefecture."

"Afterward, Vice Admiral Yu can try to break through on his own, if... there’s still a chance."

"Hahaha!"

After listening, Yu Song burst into hearty laughter, "That’s right! You should have arranged it like this from the start. In doing so, ishan Prefecture is as good as gone. The unrest in Ming State, once the court’s army arrives, won’t take long to be quelled!

"Co, to celebrate our mighty feat, let’s drink!"

"I’ll go catch a rabbit to roast."

Chen Sansi picked up a bow and arrow, and went into the forest ahead. In less than the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea, he returned with a wild rabbit. Then, using the Zhenyue Sword, he butchered it cleanly and started a fire to roast the at beside a stream.

The two n ate the rabbit at and drank wine, unknowingly passing from dusk deep into the night.

"Alright!"

Yu Song, with a hint of intoxication, said, "I need to practice so martial arts to sober up; we still have to depart after daybreak. General Chen should also hurry and make preparations, don’t delay the military opportunity."

"Your subordinate obeys the order!"

Chen Sansi bowed with his fist, turned, walked a few steps then stopped, "Vice Admiral Yu, do you have any last requests for your subordinate to carry out?"

Calling it a request was really a euphemism for a final wish; both understood it very well.

"I almost forgot about that."

Yu Song grinning said, "I do have sothing I’d like to ask General Chen to do. I have three sons at ho who don’t like studying but love martial arts. The oldest one has a decent constitution. There won’t be a position for Selected Point under Supervisor anymore, so please take so ti to teach him a couple of moves when you have a mont, General Chen. You are the closed-door disciple of Lord Governor, and your teaching is no different from the Lord Governor himself—haha, much better than . I’m benefiting from a great bargain."

"I will provide for your son until his end!"

Chen Sansi promised and then bowed before departing.

Outside the woods.

Wang Zhi and Xu Wencai finally located them.

"Looks like there’s no need for us to persuade anymore."

"Yes..."

Xu Wencai breathed a sigh of relief, "The lord is good in all things, ruthless enough to enemies, but only soft-hearted when it cos to our own people. But after this ti, I guess the lord will not be like this anymore..."

"Senior brother."

Chen Sansi stopped in front of Wang Zhi, "You should et with Vice Admiral Yu, in another identity."

"? With the way I look, how could I face anyone?"

Wang Zhi forced a smile, "Well, since you put it that way, I’ll brave my sha and have a chat. Honestly, I could stay behind too. If I et so Internal Refiners, I could still hold my own in a fight."

"Senior brother."

Chen Sansi objected, "You are needed; who knows, perhaps later on, there might even be a chance to cure your old malady!"

Even an Immortal might be repairable.

The injury to a martial artist’s ridians may yet have a chance of healing.

"Alright then."

Wang Zhi, carrying his sword, went forth.

The next morning, early.

The troops split into two groups.

Chen Sansi led two thousand n to cross the river to the west, temporarily hiding near the junction of the Hongze and Wushui Rivers.

...

"Kill!"

"Don’t let a single one escape!"

"Princely Heir Cao Fan and Sha Wenlong are among these civilians!"

"..."

"Spare us, military lords!"

"We’re just commoners, not soldiers..."

"Pu-chi—"

Outside Yangchun Prefecture, amidst barren hills and wild ridges.

Commoners were everywhere.

The rebel army was in pursuit from behind.

In the midst of the chaos.

Disguised as civilians, Sha Wenlong and Cao Fan, having discarded even their weapons, ran desperately forward in a sorry state.

"I can’t go on..."

"Thud—"

Cao Fan, running, suddenly collapsed.

He hadn’t eaten for ten days, and if not for the robust physique of a martial artist, he would’ve starved to death long ago. But precisely because of his martial arts training, his body’s depletion was greater, making the hunger excruciatingly painful.

"Young Master, please wait!"

Sha Wenlong leapt away and soon after snatched so dry food from the fleeing commoners, "Please eat, Young Master. Once you’re done, we’ll continue on our journey."

The two were dressed in tatters, their faces crudely disguised with Disguise Technique, looking nothing like a Great General and Princely Heir, but rather like pair of beggars.
