My Cultivation Starting from Archery Chapter 739 229: Mad Slaughter, 800 Baili!

The bloodied head appeared suddenly in front of their eyes.

The officials were in an uproar.

"Is this, is this real?!"

The voice of Prince Qi trembled slightly.

"Of course, it's fake."

Wang Jun interjected: "But unlike ordinary illusion and disguise techniques, this head is real, while the face has been crafted using the 'Skin Painting thod,' indistinguishable from a real person, impossible for anyone to tell apart."

"White Robe, is dead!"

Mu Fengchun's hoarse voice echoed in the hall: "After abandoning the Eastern part, twenty days later, our Dasheng's three hundred thousand troops can trap Beiliang's main forces in Qiantang Prefecture, and cut off their grain supply routes as well!

"After this, ensure that Beiliang Army and Hongdu Prefecture lose communication.

"Once these two tasks are accomplished, throw Chen Sansi's head into Qiantang Prefecture, and the Beiliang Army will naturally panic, losing their mainstay, and they'll be close to their doom."

"Old Mu, brilliant plan!"

Prince Qi exclaid in admiration.

Everyone knew the status and prestige Chen Sansi held among the Beiliang soldiers, but sotis, having one individual with too much prestige wasn't a good thing after all.

While this person was alive, perhaps he could support a hundred thousand tiger and wolf troops on his own.

But once this person falls, after a short period of rage, the morale would collapse entirely.

"Besides that."

Mu Fengchun added: "Over on Ninth Prince's side, trap if you can, and if you truly can't, forsake the troops at Chunqiu Prefecture, and head directly to Qiantang Prefecture."

"Do just that!"

Prince Qin issued the final order: "Make arrangents quickly!"

...

Outside Hongdu Prefecture.

The Central Army Tent of the rebel army.

A secret letter from the Capital City was delivered into the tent by the soldiers.

"Heh, that Mu from your court, he's quite a ruthless character."

Daoxuan Wanderer clicked his tongue and said: "To give up such vast territories, just to pin them down first!"

"Speaking of which."

Ling Yun said: "We'll have to hold on here for a bit longer."

"Let them be quick about it."

Li He snorted coldly: "The army has no grain left; I doubt they can hold out much longer!"

"No need to worry!"

Daoxuan Wanderer said confidently: "The Eight Gates Gold Lock Immortal Array is ready, when it's ti to retreat, we just need to form ranks and withdraw in order.

"The defending troops inside Hongdu Prefecture are also hungry; they surely won't dare to pursue us.

"We can soon rendezvous with the main forces in Yunzhou.

"Once Yunzhou's Liangzhou main forces fall, Chen Sansi, with just the number of n he has, won't be able to stir up any trouble in a short ti!"

...

Yunzhou.

Since the Beiliang Army turned their forces abruptly months ago, marching directly towards Yunzhou, they've won battle after battle, never tasting defeat, now reaching the Qilian Mountains. Once they pass the last pass, there will be no more obstacles ahead, allowing them to strike the flank of Chunqiu Prefecture and annihilate these two hundred thousand troops, advancing southward to the Central Plains, directly threatening the Capital City.

This grand war.

It's not that Qing Country's combat power is weak.

But rather that their heart is not in it.

Attacking Dasheng's north was the new Emperor of Qing Country's idea, not the order of the sects behind them, so there weren't many high-realm Immortal Masters. Their real focus has been on the Capital City and the Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein, but due to the great distance, they can only watch and wait.

"Quick!"

"Stop dawdling!"

"..."

Wang Zhi urged the troop forward on his Black Wind Horse: "The Commander and seven thousand brothers are still fighting desperately in Hongdu Prefecture to buy us ti!"

In fact.

The speed of their advance had already slowed sowhat.

A month ago, Hongdu Prefecture exhausted its supplies; they can't delay any longer.

"This ti, the Lord is risking it all to head south quickly."

Deng Feng was extrely anxious, wishing he could ride his green horse and rush to Hongdu Prefecture himself for assistance.

Seven thousand defending against two hundred thousand!

Moreover, the other side has four main generals and Immortal Masters with combat power higher than Chen Sansi on paper; holding out until now is already a miracle.

"The supply line at the rear must remain stable!"

"And block off the eastern side of the Qilian Mountains for !"

"General Ye, the terrain ahead is treacherous, there might be ambush forces, lead eight hundred cavalry to scout personally."

"General Deng, there are a few prefecture cities along Yunzhou's border, mostly garrison soldiers with weak combat power, lead eight thousand troops and capture them all within ten days."

"..."

In the dust-laden central army position, Xu Wencai sat on the carriage, advancing while thodically handling the complex military affairs, tightly arranging every troop deploynt, nearly ensuring nothing goes wrong.

He buried himself in work starting at the hour of the rabbit, and when he looked up again, it was already dusk, with the cold wind of late spring blowing by, causing him to cough.

"Sir, please take your dicine first."

Qi Cheng handed over the porcelain bottle.

Xu Wencai took a pill and then said: "Little Chengzi, there's a county ahead, our army will rest there tonight, go and prepare."

"Alright."

Qi Cheng nodded and was about to leave when he saw Zhao Kang riding over on a fast horse, shouting nervously:

"Old Xu, sothing big has happened!"

"Sothing really big has happened!"

"Lower your voice!"

Xu Wencai scolded: "What's happened?

"The army, the army!"

Zhao Kang swallowed his saliva, pointing forward: "News from the front, the court has dispatched three hundred thousand troops, splitting into five routes, heading right for us!"

"How many?"

Xu Wencai didn't panic, instead asked seriously: "Could the news be accurate? Normally, the court can't muster that many troops to besiege us."

"It's from the spies in various places of the Governor Mansion, plus the information gathered by the eighteen routes of night watch, it won't be wrong!"
