My Cultivation Starting from Archery

From attacking cities and lands to trapping immortals and slaying demons, everything is included.

But no matter how formidable and exquisite the Heavenly Book Array may be, it must be able to be executed in practice.

And this is not something every commanding officer can achieve.

Dan Liangcheng had once led troops.

But this current army of a million is not his, and the trust and rapport between him and the troops are far from sufficient.

The sudden change caused great turmoil among the vanguard army; in the chaos, a considerable number of soldiers were already at a loss, the Hundred Captains forgot how to command, the small flag bearers forgot how to wave the military flag, and the Array Soldiers did not know where to go, whether to advance or retreat.

Fortunately, Dan Liangcheng was after all experienced, and he commanded a few same-sect members to hold down the positions in various directions, and then together cast spells towards the ground to suppress the White Robes, finally stabilizing the situation and allowing the formation to function smoothly.

The moment the formation unfolded, it resonated with the towering heavenly pillars on the desolate battlefield.

Seven Decrees of Gen Mountain reveal their power!

The thick earth continued to crack, carrying radiant spirit light into the air before crashing down to the ground like a torrential storm.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The awe-inspiring power of the military array combined with the spellcasting of several Qi Refining Perfected Cultivators finally managed to curb the unstoppable momentum of the White Robes.

But...

This was just the second half!

In front of the city gate.

Thirty thousand Beiliang troops had already stormed out of the city.

Streams of Mystical Energy surged out from within Chen Sansi and merged with the army, the magnificent Soul Suppressing Formation resonated throughout the city!

The Liang Wang's Array Breaking Tune!

In an instant, heaven and earth changed color, and the Beiliang Army seemed to unite with the troops of an ancient battlefield, scattering the already chaotic vanguard army into disarray, then continued to charge forward.

Ahead lies the army of a million!

In war.

Having more troops does not guarantee infallibility.

On the contrary!

Humans are not mechanistic parts; they are beings with individual thoughts.

A million people represent a million different ideas.

An array opened with great momentum, yet once chaos ensues, it will be an unprecedented disaster.

The one who said "the more, the merrier" is certainly no ordinary person,

At this moment.

Chen Sansi, alone in the center, carved through the battlefield, and the Beiliang Army deployed the Heavenly Book Array, causing the entire vanguard army to fall into utter chaos.

Meanwhile, the Beiliang Army, unstoppable, continued to bore through the vanguard army into the heartland!

Should they succeed, with no means to swiftly slay the White Robes.

It might very well lead to a...

Catastrophic collapse!

"What a cunning plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

Dan Liangcheng sneered.

This person somehow learned about Prince Qin and others gathering in Ba County, using this to lure Ling Kui away, then executing a backward charge, attempting to create a battle opportunity.

He would never let Chen Sansi succeed so easily.

With this in mind, Dan Liangcheng steeled his resolve and waved the Array Flag of Mystic Jade Golden Bamboo.

"Hum-rumble!"

In the dark night, spirit light radiated brightly.

The stone pillars at the forefront activated once more, forming a boundary that spanned the horizon, the Thick Earth Barrier also being a one-way defense; to pass in reverse, one must hold the core Array Flag.

Earlier.

This "Thick Earth Barrier" was used as a cage for encircling Kunyang City, only lifted when the siege began.

Opening it again now.

Implied...

Sealing the vanguard army's retreat path.

Amidst the chaos.

They had nowhere to go, only to trample on each other, to be entirely slaughtered by the Beiliang Army!

But precisely because of this.

The Beiliang Army was blocked outside the boundary, unable to continue pressing forward.

Survive by cutting off the tail!

Dan Liangcheng could only abandon part of the vanguard army to preserve the overall situation.

He waved his Lifebound Magical Artifact again, sending wave after wave of azure light towards the ground.

Meanwhile.

In the starry sky, a black shadow rushed towards them at high speed, riding on feathered wings of light!

Ling Kui!

"Senior Ling has returned!"

Dan Liangcheng shouted loudly: "Hold him! As long as we keep him within the array, he is doomed!"

However.

It was still impossible for them to stop Chen Sansi, who broke free from the array and soared into the sky just before Ling Kui arrived.

Another siege and defense battle ended with the sound of retreat.

But this time.

The Kunyang Garrison returned victorious!

With a surprise attack, they suffered fewer than two thousand casualties, slaying over forty thousand enemy troops!

On the city wall, Huang Laojiu, who witnessed the entire process, clicked his tongue in wonder. He approached the military strategist with the feather fan and scarf, naively asking, "Master Strategist, is this also the Heavenly Book Array rumored to be circulated in the Eastern Continent?"

"Indeed it is."

Xu Wencai informed, "The Heavenly Book Array was precisely promoted by our Beiliang Army!"

"So, the rumors about summoning Heavenly Thunder and overturning rivers and seas are true?"

Huang Laojiu's tone was filled with undisguised amazement, murmuring to himself, "So, with enough spiritual energy, even mortal troops might have a chance to kill a cultivator?"

Xu Wencai could not hear clearly: "What is Immortal Master Huang saying?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Huang Laojiu waved his hand, awkwardly asking again, "Speaking of which, although this old man is dull, I am still a mage and know that setting up formations must rely on nature's spiritual energy to exert their power.

"Dan Liangcheng's 'Six Ding Six Jia Golden Light Array' is like this, as is my 'Xuan Armor Wind Formation.'

"But just now, I saw Daoist Chen did not use an Array Flag, nor was there any spiritual energy, yet the power unleashed by the formation was in no way inferior.

"Master Strategist, do you know how Daoist Chen managed this? Could it be he has some supreme treasure hidden on him?"
