My Cultivation Starting from Archery Chapter 249 - 147: One General Achieves Success Part 6

The soldier’s voice trembled slightly, "It’s just that we didn’t find the person."

"Just? Two thousand people missing, and you tell it’s just?!"

"Bang—"

Dong An kicked violently.

The soldier spat out blood and died on the spot.

Inside the tent, there was deadly silence, none of the soldiers dared to speak.

Dong An returned to the front of the map, picked up the brush again, and mumbled to himself as he analyzed:

"Impossible!"

"The Reserve Camp was surrounded by a large army from all four directions!"

"After they attacked Luotian Pass, it was absolutely impossible for them to have ti to retreat!"

"Unless..."

"Unless these two thousand n never really went to attack Luotian Pass but had hidden away early!"

"That ans..."

"This attack on Luotian Pass was another diversion!"

"No!"

"All the main generals were there!"

"Yu Song’s head has already been cut off, this has been confird by multiple sources, there is no mistake!" Stay updated with .Côm

"All the main generals were killed in battle"

"Absurd!"

"How could there ever be an example of main generals letting their subordinates die to cover their escape!"

"If it really was so, what were they trying to do?"

"Where did the other two thousand n escape to!"

Dong An spared no effort, brought in a brand new map, and replayed the course of the battle in Ming State from beginning to end, until midnight when a loud thunder sounded in the sky, and the brush in his hand dropped to the floor with a "plop."

"Whoosh—"

Ming State was hit by a downpour again, extinguishing the last flicker of hope in his heart.

"It’s all over... all over..."

"Thump—"

"Commander!"

The soldiers hurriedly ca forward.

This ti.

Two hours later, Dong An finally opened his eyes again; he lay on the cot, his lips pale as if he had walked back from the brink of death: "Go tell Liang Jinian to run... never mind, it’s too late..."

"Too late, what do you an too late?"

The soldiers, confused by what they heard, felt an inexplicable panic as they looked at the commander.

"Commander!"

A Deputy General leaned over the cot and earnestly asked, "Commander, please explain clearly, you’re a brilliant strategist, how could it be too late, even if it’s just to minimize our losses."

"..."

Dong An closed his eyes and said nothing more, as if he were a dying man.

"This..."

The n had no choice but to go inform Liang Jinian.

...

anwhile.

ishan Prefecture.

"Outrageous!"

Liang Jinian angrily slamd the table: "Two thousand n! How could Liu Anxing let so many people go and then tell they’re untraceable?!"

"Commander, where could they be?"

The last City Guard General in ishan Prefecture, He Xianliang, asked: "From the mont they attacked Luotian Pass, they shouldn’t have had any chance to escape!"

"Not good!"

Liang Jinian paled in shock, "They never even attacked Luotian Pass."

"How, how could that be possible?"

He Xianliang said, "Commander, the head of Yu Song from the remnants of the Reserve Camp is undeniably real. Could the Main General have stayed behind to cover our retreat with his life?"

"It’s exactly because of this that they fooled all of us! Deceitful, deceitful villains!"

Liang Jinian wanted to flip the table, but lacking the strength, he instead ended up falling to the ground, where he roared fiercely: "How could this be, how could this be!

"Even if he is exceptional, he is still just a Thousand Captain!"

"A Thousand Captain could command a Main General to willingly die; there’s no logic in this at all!"

"How could Yu Song have consented!"

"Soone, co quickly!"

"He Xianliang, how many n do we have left?"

He Xianliang answered, "Commander’s trusted aide, plus the last of the City Guard Army, we still have over two hundred n left. Is sothing the matter?"

"Over two hundred n, not enough to defend the city..."

Liang Jinian grabbed the map, "Wait, I rember, aren’t there still over eighteen hundred people slaughtering in Linhe County?"

"Yes, Commander."

He Xianliang explained, "These people are the original veterans of ishan Mountain Village. After winning the central region’s battles, they ca back here as a reward from you, Commander, for slaughtering the city."

"There’s still ti!"

Liang Jinian ordered, "Imdiately summon them back to ishan Prefecture, and be sure to intercept the remnants of the Reserve Camp on the road!"

"What?"

Hearing this, He Xianliang finally understood why the Commander was so panicked, and said incredulously, "Commander, you an to say... this can’t be possible, right?"

"Commander, it’s terrible!"

A mber of the Red Eyebrow Army burst into the hall, dripping with urine: "A hundred li outside the city, we found, we found approximately two thousand cavalry, it’s unknown where they ca from! They claim to be Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, and they are here to reclaim the Heavenly Book bestowed to the Commander by the Immortal!"

"This..."

He Xianliang was in shock.

The remains of the Reserve Camp indeed appeared just as the Commander had said.

What’s the difference between this and real Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!

"Nonsense, they are the remnants of the Reserve Camp, where are any Heavenly Soldiers!"

Liang Jinian angrily said, "They are saying this rely to intimidate you!"

He knew, if they succeeded, the rebel army’s might would collapse in an instant.

Everyone across the world would think him devoid of virtue and capability, the Heavenly Book would return to Dasheng, signifying Dasheng’s power is not yet exhausted, and it was all just an unremarkable rebellion!"

"Fine, I will use the Heavenly Book, and have a decisive battle to the death with you!"

Liang Jinian removed several pages of golden paper from his person, flowing with mystical Formation symbols."

He Xianliang imdiately knelt down: "Please bestow the formation, Commander!"

"Boom——"

A surge of Mystical Energy that mortals could not perceive entered He Xianliang’s body.

"Go."

Liang Jinian swept his sleeve: "After the bestowed formation, you all will have the strength for a battle!"

"Rest assured, Commander!"

He Xianliang accepted the command: "Since Yu Song has died, even if it’s that Chen Sansi leading n here, at his best he has only just reached Minor Hua Jin, while I, at least, have achieved Minor ridian Passage. Plus with the formation bestowed by the Commander, I swear on my life, I will definitely win this battle, and then bring back Chen’s head to present to the Commander!"

"Quickly go."

Liang Jinian said nothing more, just watching his silhouette as he slowly closed his eyes and sighed.

The Red Eyebrow Army’s severe lack of high-ranking generals was their fatal flaw.

But He Xianliang, having co from a Major Sect and achieved Minor ridian Passage, might not necessarily be inferior to that Chen Sansi.

Nevertheless.

If this battle succeeds, it’s not yet too late.

If this battle is lost, his life is over.
