My Cultivation Starting from Archery Chapter 737 228 Death of the White Robe5

"Don't go buying it again in the future."

Chen Sansi sent Wang Li to find out if it was true and reminded him at the sa ti.

Subjectively, Zhao Wuji might not have forced others.

Objectively, perhaps not.

Just imagine.

There's a war going on outside, and you're hiding at ho day and night when suddenly a Martial Saint covered in blood, holding a knife, cos to your door, puts ten taels of silver in your hand, and says, "Friend, how about selling a pancake."

In such a situation, you're probably too scared not to sell.

Right now, every household in the city has shut their doors and windows tightly, too afraid to show themselves, fearing the Beiliang Army driven by starvation might raid their food supplies.

People when full and when starving are two entirely different creatures.

But the Beiliang Army must not take even a hair's breadth from the people, this has always been an ironclad rule.

Even if it ans dying of starvation!

Not a grain of food can be taken from the people's hands.

"Commander."

Zhao Wuji carefully said, "For the past three days, I've only had this one pancake, I'm really starving, Commander, don't you have Fasting Pills? Could you spare one for so that I have the strength to continue fighting?"

"Fasting Pills, I have them, but I cannot give you any."

Chen Sansi refused.

Within the city, six thousand brothers are all starving, most of them are low-ranking Array Soldiers, and they can't take the Fasting Pills; only recently has Feng Yong and others who broke through to above Mysterious Phenonon been able to withstand taking them individually.

But there's no way to play favorites.

He isn't just denying the military officers; he hasn't taken even one himself.

As the Commander, if he can't even endure hardship alongside his n, how can he expect the brothers below him to risk their lives by his side?!

"Beiliang brothers in the city, listen up!"

At this mont.

A voice suddenly ca from outside the city.

The Deputy General of the rebel army rode a thin warhorse to the city gate and shouted loudly, "I know you've run out of rations!

"Since the defeat is certain!

"What are you still holding on for? Chen Sansi won't die with you!

"He's also practicing Immortal Law, and he must have 'Fasting Pills' in hand, taking one, he won't feel hungry for half a month!

"The Ninth Prince said!

"As long as you open the city and surrender, not only will past grievances be forgotten, but you'll also be given food!

"But if you persist in your stubbornness, even if we stop attacking, it won't be long before you starve to death within the city!

"Once you're dead, that Chen will just walk away triumphantly, who will rember you then!"

He said all this in an attempt to sow discord.

"You're absolutely right!"

Chen Sansi did not shy away but went up to the highest point of the Hongdu Prefecture, taking out all the Fasting Pills, and displayed them to the brothers of Hongze Camp: "Indeed, I have Fasting Pills, and there's a full twenty of them, enough for not to eat or drink for a year without feeling hunger!"

"Boom——"

Before finishing his words, flas suddenly rose from his palm, burning all the Fasting Pills to ashes right in front of everyone!

"But!

"I won't take a single one!

"If the brothers starve to death, then I'll starve to death with them!"

Chen Sansi looked at the soldiers of Hongze Camp, promising: "From this mont on, I won't take a step away from the city wall, ensuring I'll always be in everyone's sight; if anyone sees taking even half a pill, feel free to open the gates and surrender!"

"Commander!"

Feng Yong hurried over, searching through the ashes on the ground.

The Deputy General of the rebel army had never expected the White Robe to do such a thing, leaving him initially speechless, but after witnessing this scene, he quickly said: "Fine! Fine! Did you all see that! Chen would rather burn the Foundation Establishnt Pill for show than save two more subordinates! Why would you still follow soone like him?!"

However.

He had not yet finished speaking when he realized things weren't going as he had imagined.

The Assistant General wasn't lanting over the burning of the Fasting Pills for his own gain; instead, he knelt on the ground, loudly advising: "Commander! Foolish Commander! The city's defense relies on you, how can you starve with us!"

"That's right, Commander!"

"Why pay heed to the birdn opposite's nonsense!"

"If they attack the city again tomorrow, we'll use all ans to get the Commander more Fasting Pills!"

"You turtles, co on and attack the city if you dare!"

"We'll eat your flesh and sleep on your skins!"

"..."

Not a single soldier from Hongze Camp within the city was swayed against their commander by the White Robe concealing Fasting Pills, instead, they were enraged that their Commander was starving and cursed the rebel army fiercely.

"You all?!"

The Deputy General could not believe the unwavering status the White Robe held within the Beiliang Army.

"Central Plains kids!"

Feng Yong, standing up despite his hunger-induced weakness, shouted towards the Central Plains troops: "Our Commander burned up all the Fasting Pills, but it's likely your superiors have plenty hidden away, right?"

"They're the ones who really don't care if you live or die!"

"Why not surrender early!"

"Join us in marching on the Capital City!"

"..."

With nearly every sentence, the rebel army, starved for days, began to stir restlessly.

"What?!"

Daoxuan Wanderer, upon learning his "brilliant plan" was so easily foiled, clicked his tongue: "Did he really burn them? Is he an idiot?"

"Stupid idea!"

Li He criticized: "Now our subordinates are the ones feeling uneasy!"

"Prince!"

"Sothing's wrong!"

An Assistant General rushed into the tent in a panic: "Yunzhou!

"Beiliang has achieved a great victory in Yunzhou!

"In no more than sixty days, they'll be upon us!

"Prince, retreat the troops!

"Without supplies, if we don't pull back, we'll be trapped and starve here!"

"..."

"Anyone who speaks of retreat again will be executed without rcy!"
