Chapter 26 The mountains rise majestically, the emperor draws his bow, and shoots the arrow of Sheng
On the left flank, Liu Di Gong concealed himself among the ranks of armored soldiers. Unlike Liu Xiao Han's reckless charge, a qualified archer must learn to hide himself as much as possible. What? You ask what about the unqualified ones? Of course, they all fell to Liu Di Gong's arrows.
Liu Di Gong: Just kidding, even a qualified archer fell.
Liu Di always managed to draw his bow at the opportune moment, and the arrows seemed to have a tracking ability, always accurately and swiftly finding the enemy's vital points. From squad leader to platoon leader, from company commander to captain, officers fell one after another in front of him, while the soldiers on the enemy's right flank scattered in disarray (in ancient warfare, our left flank was the enemy's right flank; it took Crab Clip a while to realize this, *facepalm*).
[Ding! Mountain Spirit skill "Suppressing the Mountain" activated.]
Effect 1, Immovable as a Mountain (maximum three times): Whenever the army is in chaos, the user's four attributes increase by 1, slightly stabilizing the morale of the army; whenever the morale of the army is stabilized, the four attributes of the army led (excluding the user) increase by 1.
效果二，安垒固守：守城时全军四维+1，若敌我双方占比高于2:1，全军四维+1；若高于5:1，全军四维+2；若高于10:1，则全军四维+3并赋予全军半万法效果；若高于15:1，则全军四维+4并赋予全军万法效果；若高于20:1，则全军四维+5并赋予全军万法+反弹效果。
Effect 3, Observe the situation (maximum three times): For each weakness of the enemy force discovered, the entire enemy force will have its random attributes reduced by 1.
Effect 4, Fire Overcomes Mountain: If the enemy commander's leadership skill contains the words "fire," "flame," "blaze," or "burn," and if the enemy commander's base leadership is higher than yours, two attributes of your entire army will randomly increase by 1; if the enemy commander's base leadership is lower than yours, two skill effects of the enemy commander will be randomly sealed. If the enemy general possesses a leadership skill containing the words "fire," "flame," "blaze," or "burn," its amplification effect will be reduced by half.
Effect 5, Jing'an Formation: After deploying the formation, the entire army's four attributes increase by 1-2 points.
An extremely overpowered yet one-sided skill. If it encounters a wind-attribute skill with the ability to break through defenses, then Shan Chong will have met his Waterloo (Here, Crab Clip borrows the concept of mutual restraint between wind, fire, mountain, and forest from Sun Tzu's Art of War from the internet).
The School of Military Strategists was a powerful yet extremely divided school of thought. Within the school, it was a matter of two people practicing martial arts on a sand table and discussing principles. But once outside the school, it was a matter of senior brothers fighting junior brothers, and junior brothers killing senior brothers, each serving their own master and relying on their own abilities. As the saying goes, "In literature, there is no first place, but in martial arts, there is no second." On the battlefield, fierce generals who kill the enemy must compete for superiority, and generals who command troops must also compete for rank.
Aside from the four military strategies (military power and strategy, military situation, military yin and yang, and military skills) that outsiders categorized them as military strategists, they themselves divided their schools of thought based on the works of their own sages.
His mountain, towering and majestic, was one of the Five Sacred Mountains of the Mountain Sect, a top-tier military strategist school. As it turned out, Shan Chong's judgment was excellent; the sect he chose would one day produce a member who would assist the current emperor in unifying the nine provinces, pacifying the Southern Barbarians, driving out the Golden Horde, and defeating the Western Religion, thus opening up a territory larger than any previous dynasty. After his death, he would be ranked alongside other sages such as the Sage of War, the Quasi-Sage, and the Venerable Sage of War. Unfortunately, that person was not him…
In the original historical trajectory, Shan Chonghui was trapped in an isolated city due to the internal strife of the Great Qian Dynasty. Relying on the intermittent and meager supplies from the outside world and a lone army, he guarded the northern gate of the Great Qian Dynasty for twelve years. After sending away the Right Wise King of the Golden Horde with a last stone, he fell on the way back to the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty to receive his investiture.
Now, Shan Chong is full of vigor. He participated in the war between Qian and Qin Jin a few years ago as soon as he came out of the mountains. He built his camp on the mountain and held back the Jin army, which was more than ten times larger, and became famous in one battle. Now he has encountered a large-scale battle between the Han and Qian dynasties with a million troops. He is now showing the trend of becoming the leader of the young and promising faction of the Qian army. As long as he seizes this opportunity, he can rise to the top.
[Ding, Shan Chong, Command 100, Strength 95, Politics 91, Intelligence 96.]
Zhenyue's four attributes increased by 1, Military God Commander increased by 2, Intelligence increased by 1, and the current four attributes have increased to:
Command 103, Strength 96, Politics 92, Intelligence 98.
"Pass down the order to cut off and encircle the enemy according to different troop types, and order the scouts to specifically shoot and kill the enemy messengers." Shan Chong keenly noticed the problem of the disconnect between the troop types of the Han Left Army and the excessive gaps in their formation.
[Ding! Mountain Cultivation skill "Suppressing Mountains" activated. Han Army's left wing intelligence -1, Qian Army's right wing (excluding commander) all four stats +1.]
[Ding! Liu Di's bow skill "Piercing Clouds" is activated.]
When drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, each shot increases attack power by 1, stacking to 3 points before resetting and reducing the four attributes of the next enemy general targeted by the arrow by 2 (this effect can be applied a maximum of three times to the same target in a single battle).
[Liu Di's archery prowess has risen to...]
[Ding! Xu Xiang...] Before Xu Xiang, who was at level 104 in the Great Qian Dynasty, could react, he was shot in the eye by an arrow, and then his entire head exploded.
[Ding! Huangfu Shesheng's skill Rift Wind is activated.]
When fighting with a bow and arrow, reduce the target's four attributes by 3 points.
Currently, Emperor Liu's archery prowess has declined to...
Liu Digong suddenly felt a moment of mental confusion, unaware that Shan Chong's skill had rendered him mentally impaired. A whooshing sound came from the air, and Liu Digong hurriedly dodged to the side. An arrow grazed his ear and struck a Han army captain in the face. The Han army captain looked at him in disbelief, then fell straight to the ground, lifeless.
The two exchanged a glance across the crowd, then quickly disappeared into the crowd to look for an opportunity.
Soldiers from both armies: Why do we feel so cold all over?
[Ding! Liu Di's bow skill, Supreme Bow God, is activated.]
With eyes surveying a thousand armies, he discerns their weaknesses; amidst the chaos, he stands tall and fearless. A single arrow pierces the clouds, separating life and death; without even wielding a blade, fame is achieved.
Effect 1, Bow Restriction: If an enemy general is wielding a bow and arrow, their weapon bonus is sealed, and the enemy […].
Each arrow fired reduces attack power by 1 (maximum 5 points).

Effect 4, Bow Concealment: Increase own attack power by 4 for every third arrow fired (resets on the fourth arrow).
Effect 5, Bow of Sorrow: For every three Divine Generals or ten Heavenly Rank Generals killed, your random attribute increases by 1; for every three points of random attribute increase, this skill accumulates one point of martial power, and your current martial power increases by 2.
Ding! Liu Di's Bow's base attack power is 106, Sky Piercing Bow +1, Snowflake Bow +1, Border Guardian +2, Cloud Piercing +1, Martial Arts Mastery +4, Supreme Bow God +8 +4 +2, -..., Liu Di's Bow's attack power has now increased to 129.
[Ding! Huangfu Shesheng's skill "Peak of Archery God" is activated.]
His unerring aim crushed the enemy's courage, and a thousand soldiers fell, drinking in his might. His divine archery quelled the flames of war, his blood-stained robes rising in the dust of battle.
Effect 1, Absolute Shot: After activation, attack power increases by 8, and the user is unaffected by any negative effects.
Effect 2, Rapid Fire: For each top-tier or higher general killed by a shot, attack power increases by 1 (maximum of 10).

Effect 4, Cumulative Shooting: Killing one person increases martial prowess by 1; killing ten people increases martial prowess by 1; killing fifty people increases martial prowess by 1; killing one hundred people increases martial prowess by 2.
It has been detected that Huangfu Shesheng has killed a total of 6 top-tier generals or above in this battle, bringing his total kills to 50. His martial prowess has increased by 6 and 3.
[Ding! Huangfu Shesheng's base martial strength is 105, Zhenyue +1, Military God +2, Martial Arts Mastery +4, Golden Embryo Carved Bow +1, Battle of Yellow Sands +1, Supreme Archery God +8 +6 +3, current martial strength has increased to 131.]
With a snap, the two arrows collided in mid-air, until one of them made a crisp sound...
