Chapter 52 New Occupation [Archer] (Seeking follow-up reading)
And where is Chuqiu?
Located in the border plain, it is surrounded by many official roads and post stations. It is a local transportation hub. It is rich in resources and fertile land. It has always been a battleground for military strategists!
This frightened the Wei commander so much that he immediately dispatched troops to rush to the aid of Chuqiu and sent his brother Le Ji to guard the place, intending to end Yang Jianwen's legend here.

"I received your order and immediately prepared. All 10,000 soldiers in the city were deployed. 50,000 shi of grain and 20,000 civilians were temporarily collected. Food, fodder and labor are all sufficient."

"There are also 4,000 prisoners of war, slaves, and death row prisoners. They have also been assembled and can be used to defend the city during the war!"

On the official road in the city, a group of people were walking hurriedly.

The sixty-year-old man in official clothes at the front is Wang Qi, the current county magistrate of Chuqiu. His sheep-horn beard moves with the closing of his lips, and he speaks quickly and accurately. He does not look old at all.

Surrounding the crowd was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing fish-scale armor and a four-foot-long sword at his waist. He had an indifferent look on his face, as if all he saw were dead bodies.

Le Ji, a descendant of Lord Lingshou of the Wei State, was the heir to a top military family, which was why the Magistrate of Chuqiu County was so humble.

"Where is Yang Jianwen's vanguard army now?"

Wang Qi wiped the sweat off his forehead and replied, "Scouts reported half an hour ago that the vanguard army is now in the Falling Star Plain fifty miles away."

"Fifty miles half an hour ago?"

Le Ji frowned.

Based on the current marching speed of the soldiers of the vassal states of China, the cavalry would have advanced at least thirty miles in half an hour.

In short, Yang Jianwen is about to arrive at the city gates!

呲!
The long sword suddenly came out of its sheath. Le Ji's face was gloomy, and he shouted loudly: "The king ordered us to hold on. When brother's 20,000 reinforcements arrive, we can surround and kill Yang Jianwen!"

"Order, soak one thousand captives in kerosene, wait for them to be on the guards' ladders, set them on fire and throw them down. Use the rest of the bows, crossbows and boulders sparingly, we have to hold out for many days."

"promise!"

Chuqiu was preparing for battle in a hurry. A large cloud of dust was raised on the distant horizon, and the flags of the guards were fluttering in the wind.

There were eight thousand cavalrymen, and behind them was a long dragon of troops.

The chariot.

Yang Jianwen sat upright with his knees resting on his shoulders, his expression indifferent, gazing at the distant Chuqiu City, his deep eyes were unfathomable.

Following the sedan chair came her personal cavalry, with Wu Fengdeng among them.

After becoming Yang Jianwen's subordinate five days ago, she fulfilled her promise and promoted herself to the rank of Dutong, doubling the efficiency of accumulating Changsheng Baojian points.

It’s just a pity that because the vanguard army was too fierce, the Wei troops along the way have been avoiding fighting for the past five days and have not fought even a decent battle.

Therefore, the karma points he had accumulated were only three.

"We're about to attack the city. We can finally have a big fight."

Wu Fengdeng held the reins and subconsciously tightened his grip on the red glass gun.

Boom!
The last sound of the war drum came to an abrupt end.

Turning around, he saw Yang Jianwen standing on the sedan chair, with her long black hair floating behind her, shining slightly in the dawn light.

"siege."

She only said two words, and more than 25,000 vanguard troops, led by their deputy generals, dispersed and set up camps and fortifications around the moat of Chuqiu.

Then, there was no movement.

As a close follower, Wu Fengdeng naturally stationed around Yang Jianwen's tent.

Looking at the city outline that was gradually becoming clear in the distance, it was more than 20 meters high and the soil was rammed very hard.

There were many human heads on it, crossbow arrows were emitting cold light, and there were also so many rolling stones and wooden stakes that they were about to overflow.

Wu Fengdeng's mind suddenly became clear.

No wonder Yang Jianwen did not order an attack on the city immediately.

The so-called best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, the next best is to attack their troops, and the worst is to attack their cities.

The city wall is tall, strong and heavily guarded. If we want to storm it, even if all the less than 30,000 vanguard troops were to attack, they would not be enough to destroy it.

Therefore, besieging a city is a good option. Cut off the water supply and food supply, and when the troops in the city have rested, attacking the city will be much easier.

After realizing this, Wu Fengdeng had no choice but to suppress his desire to accumulate business points quickly.

And looking at the tall city wall in the distance, an idea suddenly came to my mind.

How about... try to unlock another archer? Charging into battle is simple and crude, but if you encounter a siege or defense battle, infantry is not very suitable.

Archers are quite suitable for this scene!
Wu Fengdeng made up his mind and went straight to the armory of the personal guard camp.

With his current level of Strong Bone Realm cultivation, pulling a 900-jin strong bow is not a problem, but for his first archery experience, he still chose a 150-jin hard bow to test the waters first.

He came to the open space outside the camp, and learned to bend the bow and draw the arrow like the archers in his memory. In an instant, he pulled a full bow, and the bowstring squeaked.

Whoosh!
The arrow whistled out, flew flat over a hundred meters, and then quickly fell to the ground.

After waiting for a moment, there was no movement from the Ever-Victorious Treasure Mirror.

"The first two times I unlocked [Craftsman] and [Lancer], I performed standard actions related to the arms. My actions just now were not standard, so there was no movement."

Wu Fengdeng murmured.

It seems that I need to find someone to guide me.

"Why are you running here if you're not going to build a ladder?"

Suddenly, a familiar cold voice was heard, and Wu Fengdeng looked in the direction of the voice.

It was Yang Jianwen.

"General."

He clasped his fists and saluted, explaining, "I want to try out the bow and arrow for siege."

Yang Jianwen looked at the arrow stuck diagonally in the ground in the distance, paused for a moment, and then raised his hands behind his back in front of him.

Wu Fengdeng quickly handed over the bow in his hand.

"Archery is one of the six arts, and it takes a lot of time and effort to master it in the army. Since you are a beginner, you should start from the most basic."

"Feet and shoulders together, shoulders and elbows level, three fingers open the string."

Yang Jianwen acted straightforwardly without any unnecessary words. She slightly tilted her slender waist and her skirt swayed slightly.

The tall figure will make one look more dashing and heroic when used for archery.

Boom!
Let go, the bowstring instantly tightened, and the sound continued.

"Try it."

She handed the bow to Wu Fengdeng and corrected his archery posture step by step.

"Shoulders lowered, raised a little."

"Open your legs a little more."

"Archery is not like shooting a gun. Any inaccuracy will affect the flight of the arrow."

……

Yang Jianwen was very strict, just like a strict teacher. He would even correct Wu Fengdeng's slightly inaccurate breathing rate.

"The impact of each breath on your qi and blood is like the tide, which in turn affects your shoulders, elbows, and wrists, so it is extremely important to balance your breathing."

She held Wu Fengdeng's hand and moved closer to him. An invisible force enveloped him, and her own spiritual energy guided Wu Fengdeng's breathing frequency.

Looking at the cold face so close in front of him, even Wu Fengdeng felt a little ambiguous at this close distance.

But Yang Jianwen's eyes remained calm, indifferent and cold, as if he was leaning against a corpse.

After a moment, the whole posture finally met her requirements, and Fang let go of her hand and took two steps back.

"Shoot."

Whoosh!
The arrow flew out.
