My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 241 - 146: Four Crossings of Hongze, Striking Directly at the Heart_4

```

To put it bluntly, it means abandoning everyone!

Two people running away have the highest chance of survival.

"Time reveals a person’s heart, adversity reveals true feelings!"

Cao Fan sighed, "Who would have thought, my Cao Family in the Northern Territory, would have such a loyal minister and capable general like you! By the way, does General Sha have any hope of breaking through to Martial Saint?"

"There is, but it’s slim."

"Then, there’s a chance!"

Cao Fan said, "As long as I can make it back alive, I will beg my father to train you with all his might. A loyal minister and capable general is much stronger than a mere genius!"

"Thank you, Young Master."

Sha Wenlong immediately went to arrange for the civilians to rush out first.

...

Outside the city.

Rebel army camp.

Dong An didn’t even wear his armour, dressed in casual clothes, his hair turned grey overnight, alarming the soldiers who couldn’t comprehend the situation.

What’s the big deal about letting a few thousand people go?

Why torment oneself to such an extent?

Dong An was looking at a map and playing chess by himself.

"Report!"

"Commander!"

The soldier rushed in to report, "Something bad has happened! Yangchun Prefecture City gates are wide open, roughly a hundred thousand civilians are fleeing in all directions, and we estimate the city’s defenders are mixed among them. What should we do now?"

"Da~"

Dong An remained silent.

"General Dong, would you say something?"

Xiang Tian approached, "I think there is absolutely no need to focus on the remnants of the Reserve Camp. Jia Lao Si is still there, and Luotian Pass has military forces, they can’t escape. What’s urgent is to find a way to kill Sha Wenlong inside the city, and then capture Cao Fan alive!"

Dong An still did not speak.

From time to time, he would pick up a pen and scribble on the map.

He was replicating the previous battle, like reviewing a chess game, to see how the opponent had managed it.

"Report—"

The scout hastened back, panting: "Commander! News from Dong An at Jiankou County!"

"Jia Lao Si..."

Finally, Dong An spoke, his voice hoarse, "He should be dead by now, right."

"General, how did you know?"

The scout was surprised and then said, "The army that was in pursuit, when it passed by Jiankou County, Mr. Jia and his men had all died, and there was no news of the Reserve Camp’s remnants, they must have continued southwards, heading straight for Luotian Pass, which now has been left vulnerable..."

"Tell Liang Jinian."

Dong An said solemnly, "Block them at Luotian Pass, and be careful with your troops, watch for their feints. In the last two instances, we were deceived by feints, don’t fall for it again.

"Also here, here, we need to station heavy troops and stay put to prevent them from repeating their trick, launching a Backward Charge, returning by the same path. The flanks must also be heavily guarded; by all means, they must be completely surrounded and killed!

"I previously...

"Underestimated them too much!"

"Chen Sansi is smart, and this Yu Song isn’t bad either. Don’t forget, he’s the Main General of the remnants of the Reserve Camp."

"Golden Spring Manor’s former defender was at Minor Meridian Passage, and so was Jia Lao Si. Killing two Meridian Passages in succession, he undoubtedly stands out in his realm. So, next to Chen Sansi, we must also pay close attention to Yu Song’s movements. If he doesn’t show up, it’s highly likely a feint. Make this clear to Liang Jinian."

"Yes!"

The scout accepted the order and left.

They were responsible for writing the orders on paper and then delivering them to the Black Hawk.

"Mr. Dong!"

Xiang Tian said anxiously, "The arrangements are made over there, what about us here?"

"You handle it."

Dong An said indifferently, his gaze still not moving from the map.

"Handle it?"

Xiang Tian could no longer hold back, "General Dong, why bother? Even if a few thousand people escaped, what difference does it make? Let them do what they want. Taking down Yangchun Prefecture is the top priority."

"What do you understand?!"

Dong An gave a tiger-like glare and spoke fiercely, "Xiang Tian, do you realize what the remnants of the Reserve Camp mean? There are four individuals with the Body of Martial Saint alone! Not to mention, there’s Chen Sansi who far surpasses Fang Qingyun!

"He’s not just good in warfare, but he will also achieve top-notch martial prowess! Don’t forget the rumors from Liangzhou, Sun Xiangzong might very well pass the Immortal Law to him! If this man isn’t taken down, it won’t only be a problem for us, he might not even be good news for Dasheng!

"What are you standing around for? Can’t you handle the two thousand people in Yangchun Prefecture?"

"Yes, I understand."

Xiang Tian accepted the order and hurriedly left.

"If, if I can crush the Chen surname this time, it would prove that Fang Qingyun is no longer a match for me."

In Dong An’s heart.

The young general who had been playing a game with him for less than half a year had long surpassed Fang Qingyun and became the enemy of his destiny.

Some people live for money, some for power, some are fond of sensual pleasures, but what he was born to pursue is to become the number one Military Master in the world!

Just like the Master of War a millennium ago.

After his death, when people learn military strategy, the Military Books they study will be the ones he left behind.

So, defeating this man was more important to him than anything else!

If he could win this game, the previous losses would mean nothing.

Because everything would become experience, absorbed and converted into his own strength, to be used on other battlefields in the future!

He must, win!

This battle is larger than his life!

...

Meishan Prefecture.

"It’s still decreasing!"

Liang Ji paced anxiously in his room, acutely aware of the changes in his body, "It must be because they’ve suffered another defeat, another defeat! That’s what’s causing this!"

"Report!"

The intelligence finally arrived.

Liang Ji quickly opened it to take a look and didn’t forget to collate it on a map and the sand table to replicate it, "What a strategy, attacking Yangchun Prefecture openly and crossing Hongze River secretly! They’ve used this trick once already during their second crossing!"
