My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Chen Sansi traveled back to the chaotic end of a dynasty, thankfully with the hardworking system by his side. He originally wanted to hunt to earn money and someday go to the Martial Arts Hall to learn some basic fist and foot techniques, aspiring just to be an ordinary rich man. Yet, fate had other plans. With officials imposing heavy taxes and the Martial Arts Hall bullying the citizens, he had no choice but to enlist in the army to survive, becoming an archer. From "archery (entry-level)," he worked tirelessly up to "operating a ten thousand weight bow, where arrows cannot be dodged," taking the heads of enemy generals from a hundred miles away! From "basic soldier's spear technique," he worked tirelessly up to "National Guardian Dragon Spear, growing more valiant with each battle," standing firm with a spear on horseback, alone turning back the Enemy Army of a million! Years later, Chen Sansi, having campaigned in the south and battled in the north, was truly invincible under the heavens, commanding two hundred thousand of the Iron Cavalry. Watching his subordinates forcibly ascend him to the throne and become emperor, he felt quite helpless: 'You... you have really caused me trouble!'

Chapter 74: Great Wall

Great Wall.

It was the utmost priority for any ancient regime.

The Central Plains, as an agrarian civilization, had the ferocious nomadic tribes of the grasslands as their greatest enemy.

Before the Great Wall was built, barbarian cavalry would frequently invade the south to plunder every year.

Moreover, since these were small-scale cavalry, highly mobile, they would simply raid and kill, then leave, leaving no options for defense.

It was not until the appearance of the Great Wall that the stomping of horse hooves was halted.

Now, if the nomadic tribes wanted to raid, they had to pay a tremendous cost.

They either had to attack cities or traverse mountains and ridges on foot.

The former required a heap of human lives, while the latter, even if successful in plunder, meant being chased down to death without the aid of warhorses.
