My Cultivation Starting from Archery Chapter 743 229: Mad Slaughter, 800 Baili!5

"But human strength ultimately has its limits.

"Exceeding those limits leads to death, and no one is an exception.

"Especially for Chen Sansi, who, after the city ran out of food, publicly burned all his Fasting Pills, leaving him unable to sustain even basic energy; being slain by the combined efforts of Prince Zhen Nan and four others was inevitable."

Burning the Fasting Pills in public...

This was leading by example, showing solidarity with the soldiers!

Indeed, this was sothing Chen Sansi would do.

"After Chen Sansi's death, you no longer have anyone to stand at the forefront. When Prince Zhen Nan, Cao Rong, Li He, and others arrive, whether you resist or not, the fall of the city is unavoidable.

"That's why I said, your persistence is aningless."

Wang Jun continued, "Back at Guan Du, I still had so acquaintance with you all, and I can't bear to watch you die in vain. Quickly open the city and surrender."

"Bastard, prepare to die—"

Wang Zhi, along with his fellow disciples, almost simultaneously picked up their weapons, filled with boundless anger and murderous intent, ready to kill the person in front of them first.

Wang Jun was prepared and imdiately used Sword Control to escape, leaving behind a resounding declaration.

"The White Robe is dead!

"Open the city and surrender, avoid death!!!"

"..."

Xu Wencai ascended the city wall with Qi Cheng's support. Upon witnessing this scene, he fell backward, but luckily his disciple caught him in ti, preventing him from falling off the wall.

"Sir!"

Qi Cheng hastily said, "Take it easy, take it easy!"

"Damn it, why should I take it easy?!"

Xu Wencai slapped the other's forehead, "It's fake, it's fake! Quickly, tell the people below not to panic; the head is just a disguise using Disguise Technique!"

Qi Cheng finally realized.

Even if it were true at this ti, they couldn't admit it.

Otherwise, the city would fall into chaos in no ti.

Qi Cheng went to calm the troops.

Xu Wencai and others wrapped the head in white cloth and returned to the Central Army Tent.

"Master!"

"Master!"

Su Can, Yu Ji, and Yu Lie, the three brothers, knelt on the ground with a thud.

"It's all our fault..."

Wang Zhi dropped his weapon with a clang, "It's all our fault for advancing the front line too slowly, missing the timing to support Hongdu Prefecture..."

"Commander."

Deng Feng also knelt before the white cloth, "The agreent between you and remains unfulfilled."

"I said long ago..."

The second senior brother Cheng Wei squatted on the ground, "This venture isn't worthwhile, the southern expedition shouldn't be so hasty, it should be planned slowly!"

"Commander, Commander, you can't leave!"

Fan Hailing wept bitterly.

He had only rebelled a few days ago.

How could the White Robe be dead?!

Wouldn't that be a death sentence for him!

Sun Buqi silently uncovered the white cloth, closing his brother-in-law's eyes.

In a mont of despair, Xu Wencai scolded, "Why are you all crying and wailing?! I observed the heavenly phenonon last night and saw the Northern star shining brightly! We may not be at a dead-end yet!"

"Old Xu..."

Wang Zhi said, "Are you saying that this head is fake?"

"I..."

Xu Wencai wanted to be sure, but in the end, he spoke truthfully, "I don't know either, but even if it is true, should we just open the city and surrender?!"

"Surrender, my ass!" Wang Zhi shouted, "I died fifteen years ago; it was my junior brother who gave a second life. If he's truly dead, it's ti to return this life to him!"

"With Master gone, it was my junior brother who stood up to shield us senior brothers and sisters."

Rong Yanqiu self-deprecatingly chuckled, then venomously said, "Even if this ti the Beiliang Army along with the Governor Mansion is wiped out, I'll still drag a few of the court's running dogs to hell with ."

"Well! In that case, what more is there to say?!"

Xu Wencai took charge and said:

"Prepare for both scenarios!

"If the lord truly encounters misfortune, the priority is to properly place the lord's family, find a way to contact the two female Immortal Masters from the lord's family, and have them take the two madams and young master and miss out of Liangzhou.

"Then, there's us.

"The city still has ample provisions, enough to hold out for at least two months. If after two months, there's still no word from the lord, then it ans truly...

"At that ti, we will decide life and death with the enemy army!

"So, generals, please fulfill your duties to the very last mont!"

...

Hongdu Prefecture.

Chen Sansi ca before the cauldron, grabbing the cooked grass roots and tree bark, eating it in front of everyone, then returned to the city wall to continue ditating. Even he was sowhat weak.

The horses in the city had long been slaughtered and eaten; in recent days, the brothers had begun to consu any edible dried fruits they could find, reaching the very last limit.

"Commander..."

Zhao Wuji, leaning on his knife, walked over, "We can't hold on any longer. Can I eat a piece of my own flesh?"

"Rumble——"

As he spoke.

The soldier standing guard not far from the city wall suddenly "rumbled" and collapsed, fainting from hunger.

"Commander."

Zhao Wuji leaned against the city wall, "Last ti, you said you'd break through the enemy, when will that be? The brothers really can't hold on much longer..."

"Just wait a little longer."

Chen Sansi closed his eyes to conserve energy.

He was waiting, waiting for the decisive opportunity to arrive.

"Commander!"

"Food!"

"Below the city wall, suddenly there's a lot of food!"

"..."

Feng Yong ca to the wall to report, his weak voice tinged with evident excitent.

"Food?"

Chen Sansi stood up.

Below the city wall, overnight, a mountain of food had piled up; there were wild vegetables, millet, bran, and even a small amount of rice and ready-made rations.

At this mont.

An elderly man, trembling and supported by his young granddaughter, was placing so prepared cornbread on the ground.
