The big general of the Yue Kingdom, holding the blood-dripping spear in one hand and the reins in the other, stared sinisterly at the high-spirited general of chariots and cavalry.

The two men rode slowly in formation, sizing each other up and being wary of each other. This was a necessary procedure for a general to go through before he knew the other party's background or strength.

They would first engage in eye contact, psychologically intimidating and overwhelming the other. Whoever showed weakness first would be immediately attacked by the other. If the two were evenly matched, they would exchange a few quick blows as their mounts crossed during the next march, testing each other's strength.

After several attempts, the two had a rough idea in their minds and launched the attack almost at the same time. General Wen Changqing had a short sword on his right sleeve. The scabbard was made of leather and looked like an ornament on armor. It could cut iron like mud, but after the opponent threw out the iron shield, he swung his sword to cut the iron chain.

Amidst flying sand and rocks, the two had exchanged hundreds of moves. Jane Ning patted Baimei, who jumped off her shoulder, hopped behind the three armies, and then took off from behind. From time to time, other birds flew past in the sky, and no one noticed it.

After the big general missed the target again, he reached for the iron cover, but before he could open the mechanism, Baimei swooped down like an arrow and pecked his right eye hard.

With a scream, the big guy rolled off his horse. Wen Changqing rode over and stabbed him in the back with his gun, piercing him through the heart!

With a loud roar, Wen Changqing lifted up the big guy with the tip of his spear with the force of moving mountains and rivers, and thunderous cheers broke out again in front of the Dayan army!

"General Wen is mighty!"

"General Wen is truly brave!"

The soldiers of the three armies cheered and waved their weapons, shouting to the sky!

The Yuejun on the tower saw clearly this time that it was a bird that hit the big guy and helped Wen Changqing. What kind of skill is that? If it weren't for that damn bird, who would have won?

The Yue army pointed at the Dayan army under the city wall and cursed them. The Dayan army was not to be outdone and cursed the Yue army on the city wall in unison.

Amidst the shouting and cursing, Pei Xiyuan looked up at the gray sky, his eyes filled with gloom. Could it be that God was helping Yan Jun?

No, his fate is in his own hands, not in the hands of God!

If he had succumbed to the arrangement of fate, the one sitting on the throne now would not be him, Pei Xiyuan, but his elder brother who has passed away!

His Yue Kingdom is full of elite soldiers and generals. Today is only the first day of the three-day competition, and the outcome will not be decided until the last moment. From childhood to adulthood, everything he wanted to get, was it not finally obtained after going through untold hardships?

This time is no exception. He is determined to rule the Central Plains. No one can stop him. If a Buddha stands in his way, he will kill him! If a God stands in his way, he will kill him!

He suddenly regained his health, lifted his imperial robe, looked at the generals, and shouted: "Who dares to fight?"

This time, the Yue army sent a young general, and the Yan army responded with another young general, Su Muyun. Both wielded spears and were equally hot-blooded. Unlike the experienced and mature generals, the two young generals engaged in combat immediately upon meeting, without a single word of conversation.

The Yue army was eager to avenge their humiliation, and the fact that the big general had been defeated miserably and died in humiliation aroused the indignation of the Yue army. The war drums beat louder and louder, and the cheers from the city walls became louder and louder.

The Dayan Army is pursuing the victory, and the one who is fighting is the brave general Su Muyun, who is deeply loved by Ma Xiaomai and other young generals and soldiers. They are waving their spears, shouting slogans in unison, and cheering for the young general Su Muyun!

Soon, the 200,000-strong army followed the shouts of the young generals and soldiers, and raised their arms to join in the orderly shouting. For a moment, the crowd was excited and the momentum was like a rainbow. In this situation, the originally brave Su Muyun was even more powerful. The potential power in his body was instantly ignited and stimulated. With a clear shout, the young general of the Yue army was knocked off his horse by his spear.

The Dayan army triumphed decisively in three battles that afternoon. Su Muyun, returning from his ride, was lifted up by Ma Xiaomai and his men and thrown into the air. Looking at this vibrant group of young soldiers, the King of Pingnan stroked his beard and laughed heartily. He then turned to General Shang, who stood beside him, and said, "Our Dayan court is overflowing with talent, and our young generals have matured. Why worry about an enemy invasion? Haha!"

General Shang bowed towards the capital, smiling broadly, and said, "This is due to the great fortune of the Emperor. Our dynasty has produced so many talented people. This is truly cause for celebration!"

In the evening, just as it was getting dark, Cai Sibei, the county magistrate of Zhuling County, led a team to deliver the shoes and socks that Mei Niang had led and mobilized the people of the city to make for the soldiers.

The army was now even more lively, and the soldiers were all excited. Ding Youtian was muttering to Jian Ning, "It's a pity that Yunshan Cui is gone. Otherwise, I would have drunk a lot with Brother Yifan and Jincheng tonight, and not stop until I was drunk."

Jian Ning smiled and said, "After we capture Fengyi, I will send Ding Yang back to bring you a cart full of fine wine. As much as you want!"

When Erlangzi heard Jian Ning's words, he grinned so hard that his saliva was almost dripping. Duan Xinyan gave birth to a boy as her second child. He was so happy these past few days that he couldn't close his mouth. Now he was even more overjoyed. He just wished he could drink the wine right away.

The Yunshan Cui that Weidong and Tian Erge were escorting was still more than a month away from here, but what Jian Ning and the others did not expect was that the village head and the clan leader ordered Ding Youwang and his two brothers to escort a cart of Yunshan Cui to the army.

The wife of the village head and Mrs. Chang also led the women in the village to hastily make hundreds of pairs of military shoes and sent them over.

When Ding Youwang and his two brothers saw Ding Youtian, their eyes turned red. They did not dare to say anything in front of everyone. When Ding Youtian and Jian Ning invited them into the tent, Ding Youwang could no longer hold back and blurted out, "Fourth brother!" and hugged him regardless of anything.

The second brother Ding Youliang and the third brother Ding Youde both came forward. Seeing this, Jian Ning turned her face away, feeling inexplicably touched.

Human emotions are so wonderful, especially in times of war, personal grudges become less important, not to mention that the brothers had already reconciled.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, is everything okay at home?" Since the eldest brother called him the fourth brother, and they were different now than before, Ding Youtian changed his words.

"All right, all right. Thanks to my fourth brother and his wife, not only our families are doing well, but every household in the village is now living a better life." Ding Youwang wiped his face and called out to Jian Ning, "My fourth brother and his wife, you are fighting outside, so please take care of yourselves!"

Jian Ning nodded. She was not Ding Youtian, nor was she her original self. She couldn't call them "big brother", "second brother", or "third brother". All she could do was treat them with a smile.

Ding Youwang continued, "Among those shoes, there are six pairs made by our mother. None of them are big enough for you two. She said she would make them for anyone else but you two. She even quarreled with the village head and the clan leader, asking her and our father to be credited with a merit, saying that my father helped her twist the hemp rope. If we win the battle, they should be credited for their contribution. Don't sneakily leave her and my father out when you get the reward!"

This sounded like something Old Mrs. Meng would say. Ding Youtian laughed out loud when he heard it, while Jian Ning rolled her eyes in her heart. She didn't care about the shoes made by Old Mrs. Meng at all. She was afraid that they would hurt her feet if she wore them!
