The last time I drew from back to front, so this time it’s my turn to draw from front to back, with Zhang Xiaopawn at the end.
Four number plates, two No. 1 plates, and two No. 2 plates.
The first three teams each drew a number card. When it was Zhang Xiaopawn's turn, there was only the last number card left in the box, leaving his subtle state of mind useless.
But luck was good, and what was left was a No. 2 number card, which was avoided again by the Hundred Wars Cavalry.
…
There is a mass grave on the southern outskirts of the city.
Under the moonlight, the Shen family's father and son dug out many white bones from the mass graves and wrapped them in white cloth.
Zhang Xiaozu was staying in the small world. The two of them never dared to go inside to look for Zhang Xiaozu, because if they angered the owner of the small world, they would have to stay inside and be manipulated by others, so they could only wait for Zhang Xiaozu to grow up.
Let’s talk about it after we get out into the world.
September 11th.
Under the command of Zhang Xiaozu, 18 people from Su Zheng defeated their opponents and successfully advanced to the finals.
The Hundred Battles Cavalry was also promoted as expected.
The two strongest teams collided in the final, pushing the atmosphere of the Iron Cavalry Competition to its climax.
The shopkeeper of Juxian Gambling House, watching Su Zhengyi and eighteen people advance through the ranks during this period, his heart almost couldn't bear it.
He sent someone to buy nine pillars of incense, prepared to bathe and change clothes, and pay homage to various gods to bless him and Juxian Gambling House in safety.
Di Xiayun sat in the stands, watching Su Zheng show off his power, his eyes full of color.
In the past, she was afraid that others would know that she was Su Zheng's fiancée, but now she wants everyone to know that she is Su Zheng's fiancée.
September 12th.
The two teams that missed the finals decided on the coaching field for third and fourth place.
…
late at night.
The light was still on in the room where Taoist Qinglian lived.
Under the oil lamp beside the table, Zhang Xiaozu held a spell that Taoist Qinglian had just finished drawing in his hands, frowning and thinking.
Taoist Qinglian stood up, stretched out his arms, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, I'm done."
Seeing Zhang Xiaozu immersed in hard thoughts, she couldn't help but smile and said: "I combined the Buddhist and Taoist mantras to understand this talisman. I thought it would be able to exert earth-shattering power, but it turned out that it couldn't work at all.
I've been thinking hard for more than a year and still can't figure out what the problem is, so I'll just leave it to you for fun."
Zhang Xiaozu suppressed his thoughts, put the spell into the Sumeru mustard seeds, looked at Taoist Qinglian and couldn't help admiring him: "Senior sister is proficient in both Buddhism and Taoism, and can also integrate the two into one, and understand her own spell.
It’s really awesome.”
Taoist Qinglian waved his hand and said: "In front of my junior brother, these are just trivial skills and not worthy of the Tao."
"Senior sister, you want me to be killed." Zhang Xiaozhu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Taoist Qinglian walked to the window and opened it. The cool breeze from the window blew into the room, adding a touch of melancholy to her face.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly said goodbye: "Junior brother, I will leave tomorrow."
She has passed on all she has learned, thought, and understood to Zhang Xiaozu, not only to fulfill her duty as a senior sister, but also to express her gratitude to Zhang Xiaozu.
Apart from not being able to say goodbye to her master, she no longer had any worries.
"Ah?" Zhang Xiaozhu was very surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Taoist Qinglian to leave in such a hurry. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Sister, is there anything you are anxious about?"
Taoist Qinglian looked out the window and shook his head.
Zhang Xiaozu noticed the change in Taoist Qinglian's mood and couldn't help but frowned.
In the past ten days of getting along, he had always felt that something was wrong with Taoist Qinglian's mood, but when he asked directly or indirectly several times, Taoist Qinglian just shook his head and said it was okay.
At this moment, when he heard Taoist Qinglian saying that he was leaving and felt the change in her mood, Zhang Xiaozu felt a little uneasy.
"Tomorrow is the final of the cavalry competition. Senior sister, can you watch the competition before leaving?" Zhang Xiaozu asked in a hopeful tone.
Taoist Qinglian turned around and nodded with a smile, and agreed: "Okay, it won't be too late to leave after I see my junior brother take control of the situation and kill everyone, and win the first place in the iron cavalry competition."
"I will not disappoint senior sister." Zhang Xiaozhu said with a happy smile.
He wanted to retain Taoist Qinglian in this way, and after tomorrow's game, he would go to a quiet place to have a chat with her to see if she had any worries and whether he could help her.
"It's already very late. You should go back to your house and rest quickly. Don't affect tomorrow's game." Taoist Qinglian said.
"Well, senior sister, please rest early."
The next day.
Zhang Xiaozu got up early and felt relieved when he saw Taoist Qinglian come out of the room.
The much-anticipated finals of the Iron Cavalry Tournament are about to begin, and the Imperial City is full of people and bustling early in the morning.
In the small world, the stands were filled with spectators early.
Except for Taoist Qinglian, they are all prominent figures in the imperial capital and their relatives.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom...!
At eight o'clock in the morning, war drums thundered, and Su Zheng's eighteen men and Bai Zhan's cavalry slowly entered the scene amidst the cheers of the crowd.
With their cold armor, resolute faces, sharp eyes, and captivating momentum, these eighteen people have already conquered the hearts of most of the audience.
If they can defeat the Hundred Battles Cavalry today and win the first place in this year's cavalry competition, their name will resound over the imperial capital city.
The two parties met and saluted in the center of the teaching ground, then turned their horses and walked toward both ends of the teaching ground.
The teaching field is six hundred paces long from east to west and four hundred paces wide from north to south. It is very wide.
Boom!
A thunderous drum order penetrated the sky.
Game start.
"kill!"
Zhang Xiaopeng waved his flag, and Su Zheng's eighteen men roared and charged.
Tong Tiandai, the instructor of Baizhan Cavalry, also gave the order to charge.
As if they had agreed in advance, the two sides actually set up a sharp knife formation at the same time, as if they both wanted to tear their opponent into pieces and take down the opponent in one go.
But the sword of the Baizhan Cavalry is composed of three people, which is far sharper than the sword of Su Zheng composed of one person.
This is an advantage in numbers.
They did not feel embarrassed because there were two more people than Su Zhengyiba, but were happy to take advantage of this advantage.
Because when the charge begins, the training ground becomes the battlefield. No one on the battlefield will be ashamed of having more troops. Everyone wants to bully the smaller ones with more troops.
boom!
In an instant, the two sides collided with each other with thunderous force.
Su Zheng avoided it at the last moment.
After breaking off the sword, the sword-sword formation changed into a pocket-net formation, trying to avoid the sharp knives of the hundreds of battle cavalry and turning around to keep the men and horses on their flanks.
But Bai Zhan's cavalry seemed to have expected it. They slashed back with their sharp knives, folded their wings, and tore apart the nets of Su Zheng's eighteen men in one fell swoop.
Zhang Xiaozu stood on the general platform and shouted loudly, waving his command flag and issuing instructions.
"Disperse!"
Su Zheng acted upon the order and issued the order.
The eighteen men immediately speeded up and ran forward, trying to distance themselves from the Hundred Battles Cavalry. They seemed to want to reorganize their formation and fight again.
But the Hundred Wars Cavalry refused to let go.
Tong Tiandai shouted angrily and waved his command flag.
The Hundred Battles Cavalry transformed into a dungeon formation, releasing fifteen people and trapping three.
Suning, Li Qiaoyan and Nangong Ling were instantly surrounded by hundreds of cavalry.
Su Zheng immediately ordered a rescue operation.
The Baizhan Cavalry immediately divided into fifteen men, stopped Su Zheng's fifteen men head-on, and instantly raised their combat power to the peak, using their cultivation to overwhelm Su Zheng's fifteen men, and forced them to retreat to the east.
At the same time, Huangfu Jing, the captain of Baizhan Cavalry, led five men to attack Suning's three women and forced them back to the west.
The intention of Baizhan Cavalry has been clearly revealed. They divided the battlefield and used part of their troops to hold back Su Zhengyi and fifteen people. At the same time, they used their strongest combat power to bully the weak and the more to bully the few. They quickly eliminated the weakest three girls of Suning.
, and then turned back to rush for reinforcements, twenty against fifteen.
In this way, victory can be assured.
"Zhang Jiaoxi, how about this move?" Tong Tiandai raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiaopeng across the teaching field and asked loudly.
"Simple and crude." Zhang Xiaozu replied.
"I wonder if Mr. Zhang has a solution?" Tong Tiandai asked with a smile.
"Then fight violence with violence!" Zhang Xiaozu shot out two fierce rays of light in his eyes and waved his command flag.
"kill!"
Su Zhengyi's fifteen men received the order, and in an instant the sound of killing was loud, and fifteen men of the Baizhan Cavalry launched a forceful attack.
"Tong Jiaxi, with the same number of people, it's hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker." Zhang Xiaozu shouted to Tong Tiandai.
Tong Tiandai raised a sneer on his lips and shouted: "You will know who is stronger and who is weaker."
As he spoke, he waved the flag suddenly.
The fifteen men of the Baizhan Cavalry were immediately broken into pieces, and they started fighting one-on-one with Su Zhengyi's fifteen men.
Su Zheng's opponent was a master of the sixth level of perfection, and he suppressed Su Zheng, who was only in the third level of heaven, for a while.
The situation of the other fourteen people is similar.
At the same time, Suning's three daughters were even more in danger when faced with the siege of Huangfu Jing's five men, and kept retreating to the west of the teaching ground.
If this situation continues, sooner or later the three girls will be defeated by Huangfu Jing and the others, or forced out of the training field.
"Zhang Jiaoxi, what's the solution to this situation?" Tong Tiandai raised the corner of his mouth and asked Zhang Xiaopeng.
Over the past few days, he had thoroughly studied Su Zheng's eighteen people, and knew that each of them had strange powers and could fight across levels. Several of them had strange abilities, so he assigned Su Zheng's eighteen to each of them based on their characteristics.
Eight people arranged corresponding opponents.
"Let's wait and see." Zhang Xiaopou replied with four words, raising and lowering the command flag in his hand, as if Guizhou Donkey was running out of countermeasures.
"Third Brother, Sixth Brother, how do you two view the situation on the field?"
In the stands, Su Hanlin asked the two people sitting on his left and right sides.
These two people have snow-white hair and wrinkled faces. They are both elderly people.
But although the two of them are old and decayed, they still exude a power that looks down on the world, and people dare not underestimate them.
The old man sitting on the left side of Su Hanlin is named Shangguan Bi. He is known as the God of War because he has fought countless battles on the battlefield and has never been defeated so far.
The old man sitting on the right side of Su Hanlin is named Sikong Rui. He is the most proficient in water warfare. He and Shangguan Bi were the founding generals of the Su Kingdom.
These two people were sworn brothers with Su Hanlin, so Su Hanlin affectionately called them Lao San and Lao Liu.
Shangguan Bi ranked third and Sikong Rui ranked sixth.
There were eight brothers in total when they became sworn brothers, but now there are only five left. In addition to the three of them, there are also the eldest brother Zhang Tufu and the seventh brother Su Hanju.
"I'm afraid your Hundred Battles Cavalry will lose." Shangguan Bi replied to Su Hanlin while observing the battle situation on the training ground.
Sikong Rui's eyes fell on Zhang Xiaopou and said with a smile: "With Brother Zhang's grandson in charge, we shouldn't be able to lose."
"——" Su Hanlin and Shangguan Bi rolled their eyes at him in unison.
Su Hanlin said: "The combat power of my Hundred Battles Cavalry has stabilized the opponent, and has completely disrupted the opponent's formation. It is only a matter of time before the opponent is defeated. I can't see where the defeat is?"
"Don't you think your cavalry is too easy to win? If you want to divide the battlefield, the other party will stand three women together and let you divide it as you wish. If you want to stop the rescuers, the other party will let you stop. If you want to break it into pieces,
You each fight on your own, and the other side lets you go. You can do whatever you want, isn't it wonderful?" Shangguan Bi asked with a smile.
Su Hanlin disagreed and said: "This is because my Hundred Battles Cavalry is far more powerful than my opponent, leaving the opponent no room to resist."
Shangguan Bi stroked his long beard and said: "There is a plan called the general's plan. If you want to divide the battlefield, the other party may also be looking forward to dividing the battlefield. Your general is not on the front battlefield, but to chase three weak soldiers away.
The main battlefield is so far away, so this is not a good strategy."
"As long as we capture those three weak soldiers, the overall situation can be decided." Su Hanlin said.
"Have you taken it?"
"Soon."
Everyone in the Imperial City was staring at the battlefield nervously, and most of their attention was focused on the three girls of Suning, because the three of them had been forced to the far west of the training ground, and there was no way to retreat in another fifty steps.
Already.
A seat quietly vacated in the packed stands, and Taoist Qinglian who was sitting here just now disappeared somewhere.
