My Cultivation Starting from Archery
Chapter 768 - 233 Dasheng Zhou Lang, Unrivaled Strategy_5

"Zhou Rong!"

Prince Qi glared angrily and shouted:"You still have the mood to drink? What on earth do you plan to do to break the city!"

"It has been forty days, and the heavy losses aside, this Shouyang city was difficult to capture from the start, you must think of a way, how can you indulge in drinking and merriment all day!"

"Life is to be indulged when successful, do not let the golden goblet face the moon empty."

Zhou Rong said nonchalantly:"The city will eventually fall, no rush."

"I command you to drink!"

Prince Qi drove away the dancing girls, snatched the wine cup and splashed it directly on Zhou Rong's face:"Zhou Rong! If you do not attack the city soon, I will inform the court, remove you from your post as Commander, and then chop off your head!"

"Your Highness, do as you please."

Zhou Rong finally met his gaze, saying fearlessly:"But before that, I am still the Great Capital Commander, Your Highness is only the supervisor and can only report accusations, you have no right to interfere in military affairs."

"You, you wait for me!"

Prince Qi kicked over the table in fury and stormed off.

Just at this moment.

A peal of thunder sounded in the sky, followed by a torrential rain, making Prince Qi even more furious; not just him, many veteran generals involved in the battle were also increasingly anxious.

"Talking strategy on paper!"

"Back in the Capital City, he spoke so confidently!"

"Yet as soon as we reached Shouyang, we couldn't move an inch!"

"I just received the battle report, Chen Sansi is achieving continuous victories on the western route, soon he will push our court's forces to retreat and turn back to support Shouyang!"

"Why can't we replace the Commander?"

"The court truly has no one to use!"

"..."

...

Maoyan state.

Beiliang Army's main camp.

Within a month.

Although Chen Sansi and his comrades claimed continuous victories, they actually did not annihilate much of the Enemy Army.

This was within his expectations.

The opponent's strategy of attacking both routes was originally meant to lure the tiger away from the mountain, not to make this the main battlefield.

Of course, if Chen Sansi didn't come, the feigned attack here would turn into the real main force; High Realm cultivators have been watching here, just been on the move all the time.

That's why it's called an open stratagem.

This is the benefit of having strength in numbers, regardless of which direction you make a move from, you have to show your power to confront it.

And what Chen Sansi needs to do is use the cultivators of the Guiyuan Sect to leave enough defensive force in the key cities that have been captured, to prevent the enemy from easily counterattacking successfully, then he can gain time to return to support.

As he took off the Fu General Armor, he asked:"What's the situation in Shouyang city?"

"The battle report has just been sent over."

Xu Wencai reported:"After Sima Yao led the army in, they successfully defended for forty days, both sides suffered losses, but recently, Zhou Rong stopped attacking the city, lowered his flags and halted his troops, not knowing what he's planning, at most in one and a half months we can kill back there, by then they'll face two-front siege."

"Tap~"

As they spoke.

Rain as big as beans started to fall from the sky.

Chen Sansi reached out his hand to look at the water drop that landed in his palm:"Xu Wencai, it's raining in Lou state."

"..."

Xu Wencai was slightly stunned, then suddenly came to realize:"Every year from August to October, there's bound to be heavy rain in Lou state, then the water level of the Luo Xiao River will rise sharply, if we excavate the channels early to change the water course, and build dams to accumulate river water, then destroy the dam when water level is highest, we can direct a Great Water to inundate the lowland Shouyang city!"

"No wonder Zhou Rong stopped attacking after a while, he simply surrounded them without attacking, completely unconcerned about us!"

"Luckily, Master discovered it timely, there's still time!"

He calculated,"Even using military officers and cultivators to personally dig the rivers and build dams is not easy, normally would need six months to a year's time, now at best it still needs a month to complete, we now immediately notify Shouyang city!"

"You can notify, but it's useless."

Chen Sansi shook his head.

"Haha, this Zhou Rong really has some tricks up his sleeve."

Xu Wencai understood.

They did see through the strategy, and saw through it early, so early that the opponent had just begun to act.

But...

It's useless!

Because Chen Sansi isn't there!

The upstream of Luo Xiao River is under court control, as long as the White Robe isn't present, it means no one can easily slay Qi Refining Perfection cultivators, without sufficient combat power, it's simply impossible to get to the court's rear to destroy the dam.

So even if Sima Yao knows Zhou Rong's plot, he's helpless, can only stay in the city... waiting to die!

"Shouyang is lost, plus the torrential rain, the Luo Xiao River's water level will rise dramatically, it's the perfect time for the Imperial Navy to move northward."

Chen Sansi looked at the map, speaking calmly:"We still need to end things quickly, head home in a month, and then prepare to decide victory or defeat with the 400,000 troops at Chibi."

...

Shouyang city.

Gale blowing fiercely, torrential rain pouring.

Sima Yao stood beneath the curtain of water, his True Power protecting him, not a single drop touched him.

"Father!"

Sima Chi reported:"That Zhou Rong, indulges in drinking and pleasure repeatedly within the military camp, Prince Qi and many soldiers are extremely dissatisfied with him.

"Previously, I've reviewed his dossier.

"This man has never been in battle, seems to be nothing more than a pampered child who talks strategy on paper.

"Beiliang King and his forces can return in a month, Chang'an court's 400,000 troops are all expected to be buried here."

"Seems like Chang'an court truly has no one to use."

Sima Lan sneered:"Sent out such a worthless person to lead, previously heard claimed as 'Qilin head', I thought he'd have some considerable abilities."

"Chirp—"

In the midst of the conversation, first echoed the loud eagle cry from the sky, then they saw a streak of cyan light rapidly approaching.
