My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 726 - 226 Beiliang King_6

And Daoxuan Wanderer activated the pre-prepared Array with both hands forming seals, and golden chains, like a dragon python, wound towards the White Robe.

At last.

Li He, a cultivator from the Li family who had once consumed a Foundation Establishment Pill and reached the sixteenth layer of Qi Refinement, with profound mana unleashed his Lifebound Flying Sword, cleaving with a sword that split mountains and seas.

"Young thief, meet your death—"

In the blink of an eye.

Chen Sansi’s pupils flared with flames, as his Fire Element True Power surged again, forcefully repelling Ling Yun and Prince Cao Rong before sweeping through thousands of enemies. A fire arc slashed through, melting snow while shattering all the chains summoned by the Array. Just a moment before Li He’s flying sword could strike, he blocked it with his spear.

"Boom!"

A loud sound.

Both sides.

Saw only the White Robe, who had just ascended the city wall, flung back hundreds of steps under a siege, steadying his form with a Flying Artifact just before hitting the ground.

Unexpectedly, he did not return to the fight but turned direction, flying towards the distance and quickly disappearing into the vast curtain of snow.

The Beiliang Army also sounded the horn to recall troops.

This storm had come quickly and left just as suddenly.

After a brief clash, all was peaceful again.

Atop the city wall.

Prince Cao Rong barely suppressed the urge to pursue.

"Cao Dao You, stay calm!"

Daoxuan Wanderer advised, "There’s a saying, ’do not pursue a desperate enemy’. This person is cunning and treacherous, likely trying to lure us out of the city."

Cao Rong naturally understood this reasoning and ultimately controlled his emotions.

"This lad should have been executed long ago!"

In that exchange, Li He felt the prowess of his opponent.

Among the four present, including Cao Rong who had tempered himself in reverse, and himself at Qi Refining Sixteen Layer, theoretically, they all should have been stronger than their opponent. Yet, he felt that if it came to a solo fight, perhaps none could match the White Robe, who was only suppressed by their combined efforts!

Fortunately!

They could hold the fort!

"The defensive strategy was correct."

Ling Yun remarked, "His spear technique is extremely fierce, unlike anything seen even in the Cultivation World."

"Well then, let’s hold the city!"

Although Cao Rong was obsessed with martial arts, having been able to defend the South over the years, he was certainly no fool. He said gravely:

"The exchange just now was merely their probe. Before long, a large army will head south from Qilin Mountain until they marshal 150,000 troops and deploy the Heavenly Book Array, that’s when the real fierce battle will begin.

"Luckily, we can continuously transport supplies into Chunqiu Prefecture. As long as we rely on this city to stall for time, within a hundred days, the enemy forces will collapse on their own! At that moment, we can seize the opportunity and take his dog’s life!

"Daoxuan brother, I hope you can quickly make the Array Flags and use the Heavenly Book Array soon!"

"Of course."

Daoxuan continued working immediately.

The four had different statuses, but at this moment, they cooperated completely, with only one goal in mind—to drag the White Robe to his death!

...

Beiliang Army.

Central Army Tent

"What a perfect fortress!"

As Chen Sansi predicted, Chunqiu Prefecture was indeed a city that would not be easily conquered in a short time.

"Then let’s proceed as planned."

He ordered, "Send orders to Xu Wencai, the entire army must immediately march to Yunzhou and must breach it within the designated time. After the supplies in Chunqiu Prefecture are cut off, attack from the eastern wing to enclose Chunqiu Prefecture!"

Wei Xuan expressed some concerns, "Brother Chen, are you still going to take just seven thousand men through the mountains to defend Hongdu Prefecture? That will surely provoke a retaliation from twenty thousand troops, wouldn’t that be too risky?"

"To continue staying in front is the real risk."

Chen Sansi had never wavered in his strategy after setting it, "My mind is made up. Carry it out."

Leading two thousand Vanguard Army troops, as well as the brief siege, was merely a decoy to confuse the opponent. The real army had already secretly marched toward You State, just waiting for the military command to strike.

This was a case of "Repairing the plank road in the open"!

And this siege.

Was also a probe.

A probe on all fronts.

Including the capabilities and levels of the opponent.

These four people, on paper, all seemed superior to him, that aged cultivator even far surpassing Qi Refining Perfection.

Then there’s Cao Rong.

His fourth senior brother once mentioned in a letter that the "Dragon Scripture" he submitted to the court was reversed, many places tampered with.

Yet, in this chaotic Cultivation Technique.

Cao Rong managed to cultivate it, and the True Power he condensed was also very fierce.

Truly, it’s a world with endless wonders.

Additionally, they have an Array Master.

This is what Chen Sansi was somewhat worried about.

Because it meant that the Array from the Heavenly Book might be used by the court.

So it was all the more crucial not to delay.

"Alright then."

Wei Xuan didn’t try to persuade further, but requested, "How about this, I go with you to defend Hongdu? They have a full twenty thousand, and the four in Chunqiu Prefecture are superior to you in realm and cultivation. You were very easily repulsed in the clash just now. With one more person, there will be more strength..."

"No, Yunzhou lacks True Power Warriors, Xu Wencai needs you."

Chen Sansi said, "As for Hongdu, I alone am enough!"

In the clash.

He indeed found himself in a severe disadvantage.

But...

He hadn’t died!

As long as he could hold on, there was a chance to hang on until victory!

This was...

The only chance for their Beiliang!

Only such an arrangement could possibly allow the fastest entry through the pass, and then to decide the fate of the Central Plains in one battle, marching to the Capital City to take the old Emperor’s dog life!

Best if they could make it before the others’ Foundation Establishment!

A military family can never be gambled with. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

But when holding insufficient chips, yet needing to make a significant bet, there’s only a choice to stake everything!

The military orders were quickly conveyed.

Just as the Chunqiu Prefecture’s garrison troops stood in strict formation, waiting for the next fierce siege, You State’s 130,000 troops suddenly changed direction, their spearheads pointing directly at Yunzhou!
