Hua Zijian nodded slightly, then turned to the crowd and said, "Those endless bandits are here again. Are you afraid?"

The soldiers responded in unison: "No worries."

Hua Zijian shook his head. "There's nothing shameful about being afraid. To be honest, the first time I went to the battlefield, I was so scared that I couldn't even draw my sword."

The soldiers let out a suppressed laugh, and the tense atmosphere relaxed a little.

"Don't be afraid," Hua Zijian said, "Just remember that you are soldiers, remember the swords in your hands, and remember the four words 'loyalty and patriotism'. Eat the emperor's salary, be loyal to the emperor, and serve the king in the vanguard. Even if I die, I have no regrets!"

Hua Yisun had a bad feeling. Although his father's words were meant to encourage everyone, they sounded like his last words meant specifically for him.

He took an involuntary step forward.

Hua Zijian glanced over, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his tiger eyes.

Hua Yisun calmed himself down and said, "The enemy is approaching. Please return to the central army as soon as possible."

Before Hua Zijian could speak, shouts suddenly came from the central army.

When everyone looked back, they saw flames all over the central military tent.

At this time, several main generals went to inspect the camp. There were only some tired soldiers left in the central army. Seeing this, they fled in all directions. The central army camp fell almost without bloodshed.

The fleeing soldiers shouted loudly. In the panic, they didn't know how many enemy bandits took the opportunity to attack them, and the camp was suddenly in chaos.

The personal guards beside Hua Zijian drew their weapons, gathered around, and looked around nervously.

Hua Zijian ignored the chaos in the central army, staring outside the fence with his pupils slightly contracted.

Amidst the dancing lightning, an iron-black warhorse was revealed.

A tall man was riding on a horse with a long spear across the saddle. He had a tall and strong body, a square face, and a pair of eyes like cold stars, half open and half closed, revealing a frightening cold light.

At this moment, he was like a mighty lion, seeming to radiate his own power.

The warhorse walked slowly in the night, with a faint mist swirling under its hooves, as if it was walking on the fog.

The man straightened up, picked up the reins and said, "I guess you are Hua Zijian, General Hua?"

Hua Zijian's eyes glared, "Pharmacist Li! You are a worthy opponent. I am deeply convinced of my defeat by you!"

Pharmacist Li took off his helmet and fanned himself as if feeling the heat. He said with a sigh, "You don't even understand your opponent, so how can you not lose?"

"To tell you the truth, this constant resistance and harassment in this tactical battle is the work of Lord Qin in the imperial court. I am just learning it on the spot and applying it in a superficial way."

"You've already lost since you arrived at Sanchuankou."

"Lord Qin knew many days ago that a heavy fog would come over Lie Mountain, so he set up this trap on purpose."

"If Lord Qin comes to Sanchuankou in person..."

As he said this, he put his helmet on his head, opened his eyes suddenly, and shouted sternly: "How can your Japanese army be a match for him!"

The sound spread far into the night sky, like a tiger roaring at night, and the mountains echoed it. Everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, and were shrouded in a heavy shadow.

Lord Qin?

The court has never heard of such a person!

Who is he?

When did such a person appear in the court!

Hua Zijian looked solemn.
