In front of the three armies, Jian Ning and Ding Youtian rode on their horses, watching the competition between the two generals through telescopes. Both of them used heavy weapons, all cast from pig iron. Sparks flew with every collision, and every hard confrontation of force made people hold their breath involuntarily.
Since the two armies had engaged in battle, this was the first time Jian Ning had witnessed a true battle based solely on strength. In terms of sheer strength, the Escort General seemed slightly inferior to Mu Zhe, but he had the advantage of exquisite swordsmanship and employed more technical skills in his fighting style.
Muzhe is not as brave but foolish as Xiong Er. Although he looks thin and sickly, he is born with supernatural strength. He becomes more and more courageous as the battle goes on. The mountain-splitting axe weighing a hundred pounds seems to have life in his hands, and he swings it flexibly and vigorously.
He seemed to realize that Wan Zhengqi was draining his strength, tempting him to drop his axe again and again. He was also exerting force when dropping the axe in vain, and his arms would become sore and numb after a long time. He adjusted his fighting style in time, no longer advancing blindly, and gradually slowed down his pace.
Jian Ning put down the telescope and glanced at Ding Youtian. She was worried that the Escort Cavalry General would not have enough strength to keep up after a long time.
Just at this moment, she missed a wonderful moment. When the escort cavalry general seized the opportunity to strike with a knife as powerful as splitting Mount Hua, Mu Zhe raised his axe to block it.
At this time, the two men's mounts were side by side, but Jifeng's head was facing the tail of Muzhe's mount. When the escort cavalry general turned around and swung his sword at Muzhe, Muzhe also turned around and raised his axe to meet the attack upon hearing the sound.
With a "ding" sound, sparks flew, and no one knew what the horse was thinking. In the blink of an eye, Jifeng suddenly raised its right front hoof and kicked Muzhe's horse's leg hard.
The horse felt pain and neighed, its right hind leg bent forward, and Mu Zhe fell off the horse with his axe.
Wan Zhengqi raised the Lengyan Saw high again, and Muzhe closed his eyes in despair.
But Wan Zhengqi's sword never fell. He retracted it, leaned over and stroked Ji Feng's head, then turned to Mu Zhe and said coldly, "Go back and change horses before fighting again!"
Thunderous cheers erupted from the Yanjun camp!
Ma Xiaomai on the other side of the Wuyi Camp was even more excited, "My dad is this powerful! If he were still alive, he would definitely be able to beat him!"
The general won, and Dabao was also very happy. He looked at Ma Xiaomai and said, "Didn't your uncle go back to Jin County to recuperate? You talk as if your father is gone. Be careful, or your uncle will beat you up."
Dabao didn't know the truth yet and thought that Ma Fuquan had really gone to Jin County to recuperate and would be back soon.
"My dad..." Ma Xiaomai remembered Jian Ning's advice not to tell anyone that his dad was gone. He patted Dabao on the shoulder and said, "My dear brother, you're right. I just want my dad to beat me up, even every day!"
"Are you crazy?" Dabao didn't understand why anyone would be willing to be beaten.
"My father doesn't beat me. He is very powerful. If my father goes up, he will definitely be able to beat that sick man." Da Jun glanced at the commander's table and said.
The three of them all called Muzhe a sick man because he looked so sick.
"My dad is even better!" It was the first time that Dabao praised his father Ding Youtian, and he really meant it.
"Your father... your uncle doesn't know how to fight, but he's smart, so he's pretty impressive. But we're talking about military commanders, great generals, not military advisors. Your uncle and Grandpa Liu are both military advisors, and they're both amazing! Master once told us about the Three Kingdoms: military advisors are responsible for planning and strategizing in wars, while great generals are responsible for killing the enemy in battle. Just wait and see, I'll become a great general!"
Ma Xiaomai's ambition has remained unchanged since he was a child. He took a photo of Dabao and Dajun and asked, "Brothers, what do you two want to do in the future?"
Dabao hesitated for a moment. This time, joining the army gave him a lot of feelings. He found that he might not be able to be like his father. His father was very cunning. He thought about it and said, "I will be a right-hand man, like Uncle Qin."
"Then I will be a military supervisor, just like my father." Da Jun followed.
None of them mentioned Jifeng. Because they were far away and didn't have telescopes, the generals below the King of Pingnan, each armed with a telescope, were able to see clearly. It was Jifeng that had helped Wan Zhengqi. After he rode Jifeng back to the camp, Jian Ning, who had heard what had happened from Ding Youtian, came forward and hugged it by the neck. "Lieyan, you're amazing! Well done!"
Guoguo was also circling around its feet, and Baimei even landed directly on its head. Wan Zhengqi jumped off the horse, patted Jifeng on the back, and said to Jian Ning with a smile: "How did you train this horse? To be honest, if it hadn't helped, it's hard to say who would win today. What a good horse."
Baimei and Guoguo shouted at the same time.
Jian Ning pointed at the two of them and said with a smile, "These two love to fight. Ji Feng used to be raised with me. We called him Lie Yan. He may have learned a little bit from watching them fight so many times."
A group of generals gathered around. Facing the praise like a star, Ji Feng remained calm and allowed everyone to caress him, gently shaking his ponytail, looking extremely docile.
As for Mu Zhe, after he was defeated and returned to the city, he did not mention the reason for his defeat. He caught a glimpse of Ji Feng's kick out of the corner of his eye, but Pei Xiyuan and others who were watching the battle on the city wall did not see it because of the obstruction of their vision. They just thought that the opponent chopped down the sword with a thunderous force, and gravity inevitably pressed down when Mu Zhe blocked the sword. The weight of the two blows crushed the warhorse. Poor horse was killed when it returned without being able to say anything!
Scholars look down on each other, while warriors respect each other. Although Mu Zhe felt aggrieved, he also admired Wan Zhengqi. If he asked himself, if he and Wan Zhengqi were in this situation today, he would also let Wan Zhengqi go.
He was unwilling to tell the truth because he was grateful to Wan Zhengqi for sparing him.
In the second match of the afternoon, the general from the Moon Kingdom looked incredibly sturdy. He weighed over 200 pounds, wore a nose ring, and his torso was wrapped diagonally in a leopard-skin hide. This time, he had three genuine pheasant feathers stuck into his hair. His weapon was also strange. It had a sharp knife attached to a circular iron shield, surrounded by small sharp knives. Jian Ning had no idea what this strange cold weapon was.
"This is the Blood Guillotine." Xu Dali recognized it. Overhearing Jian Ning asking Ding Youtian, he whispered, "The middle one can be removed. It has an iron chain hidden inside. If you throw it out, it can take off a person's head within a hundred steps. If it covers the head, and you pull it back, the double-edged blade will cut off the person's head, and blood will drip out. That's why it's called the Blood Guillotine."
Damn, this is too cruel!
No wonder the secret guards of the Qing Dynasty emperors were called the "Flying Guillotines", and they can be called the king of cold weapons!
Jian Ning secretly broke into a cold sweat for the cavalry general going into battle. She stroked Baimei's back with her backhand and whispered a few words to him while tilting her head.
Baimei rubbed his head against her neck to show that he understood, then looked ahead intently.
