My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 243 - 146: Four Crossings of Hongze, Striking Directly at Huanglong_6

"But Luotian Pass is different from the likes of Jia Youtian in Jiankou County. They are responsible for defense and are always on alert. Moreover, the plan to ’lure the enemy into the pot’ to trap the Liangzhou Soldiers was already set. The defenses at Luotian Pass have been perfectly repaired. Last time, Xu Wencai and the others witnessed it themselves. Even if they only have two thousand men, without siege equipment, which we will need to either find or make, it will take at least twenty days to have a chance of breaching it."

"Such a long time is not only enough for reinforcements to reach Luotian Pass, but also for the forces chasing us to catch up overwhelmingly."

"Therefore, if we continue south and forcefully attack Luotian Pass, we are certainly doomed."

As the words were spoken,

even those who were mentally prepared fell into a dead silence.

"Then... what do we do?"

After a long pause, Xie Sishu finally said, "Is this truly a dead end?"

Chen Sansi said indifferently, "There is a way..."

"If you have a way, General Chen, spit it out already. Do you want to scare us to death?"

"Exactly, exactly, we’ve reached this point, we will definitely obey your command. You tell us to go east, and we won’t even consider west!"

"Yes, General Chen."

Yu Song, having recovered much of his injuries, looked significantly better: "Do you have any concerns? It’s okay, just speak your mind."

"Hmm."

Chen Sansi nodded and asked, "Everyone, what do you think has been the most critical moment in this battle so far?"

"Sword Gate Canyon? As long as General Lü breaks through, with his valor, all our problems will be solved!"

"That’s not right, I think it’s Yan State. The White Tiger Camp and Vermilion Bird Camp are facing the mighty army of the West Qi Kingdom. Further west is the Great Wall. If they win, it will put great pressure on the West Qi Kingdom."

"It seems you’re all wrong, and General Chen hasn’t shown any agreement."

Yu Song said with wry humor, "Then I guess it’s the Imperial Army. Once the General breaks through from Luotian Pass, our Great Sheng Dynasty will surpass the Enemy Army in terms of troops, and we can gradually gain the advantage."

Chen Sansi still shook his head: "Old Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Wencai waved the feather fan in his hand, landing on the location of Meishan Prefecture: "My lord, could it be that you’re referring to Liang Jinian?"

"That’s right."

Chen Sansi continued, "The Red Eyebrow Army doesn’t have many soldiers, but without the Red Eyebrow Army, there wouldn’t be this chaos in Ming State. At the end of the day, it’s not really Liang Jinian, but rather what he has in his hands... the Heavenly Book and Strange Weapon!"

"Do you understand?"

He paused, "Whether it’s the West Qi Kingdom or the rebel Dong An, they all came for the Miracle Soldiers Heavenly Book. You all only know military tactics, not realizing that ultimately, war is nothing but a battle for ’momentum’."

"The hype of an Immortal’s gift, the Heavenly Book and Strange Weapon, is the biggest ’momentum’."

"If things go as I have predicted, this chaos in Ming State will stir the whole world, because people worship Immortals. They believe the Immortals are supporting the rebellion, which indicates that the Great Sheng Dynasty’s days are numbered, and they will desperately join the chaos."

"This is why the Red Eyebrow Army, which started with just a few thousand men, could cause the situation we see today."

"But on the contrary!"

"If the rumors about the Immortals are dispelled, then the enemy’s ’momentum’ will self-destruct without being attacked, the subsequent war situation will see a reversal of offensive and defensive momentum, and the Enemy Army will no longer have any advantage of time, location, or people. They will fall into an extremely difficult war of attrition,"

"So, we must—"

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Chen Sansi’s finger, like a stabilizer, forcefully tapped on the west bank of the Hongze River. Each word he spoke resonated in their minds like thunder on a clear day.

"Cross the Hongze four times, and storm Meishan!"

To storm the dragon in its lair is to strike at the heart, and for their understanding, Chen Sansi replaced it with Meishan.

Four crossings!

"A brilliant move, no, a divine strategy, this is a divine strategy!"

Xu Wencai gasped, the first to come to his senses.

He prided himself on mastering military tactics and had spent many years studying famous battles over a thousand years.

At the beginning of the Ming State upheaval, he could keep up with the lord’s pace, but after the third crossing, he became somewhat perplexed, and now, even more lost, until he heard the words ’four crossings,’ as if suddenly enlightened.

He explained to the others who were still confused: "Currently, most of the troops are chasing us from behind, and only the main base of the Red Eyebrow Army, Meishan Prefecture, can send reinforcements quickly!

"But given the progress of the war, there won’t be many troops left in Meishan Prefecture City, at most no more than fifteen thousand, though it could be just a few thousand."

"So, once they divide their forces to support, it will leave their main base vulnerable, and we can take the opportunity to cross the Hongze River four times to the west and then directly attack Meishan Prefecture!"

"Liang Jinian, just a scholar, not even as good as an Array Soldier, and without any High Realm Martial Artists around him, as long as we break through, he will only be left with death!"

"Once Liang Jinian is dead and the Heavenly Book and Strange Weapon are in our hands."

"Not only will we be saved, but it will also greatly aid the battle situation in Ming State!"

"This is what the lord intends."

"Cross the Hongze four times, and storm Meishan!"

But...

Chen Sansi hadn’t spoken earlier because there was another very serious issue that needed careful planning.
