Zhao Lin glanced at Yang Nantian and said, "Well, since you're not convinced, I'll give you a chance. Each of you will challenge 3,000 men to a duel. The winner will lead the Qingzhou army for me. How do you do that?"
"Okay!" Yang Nantian said loudly.
Zhao Lin looked at Chen Qifeng: "What about you?"
Chen Qifeng bowed and said, "I am willing to do the same."
"Okay, go back and prepare. The battle will start tomorrow. Whether it's a positional battle or a pursuit battle, you can discuss it among yourselves. Finish the battle quickly and don't waste my time." Zhao Lin said impatiently.
"Hmph, I will definitely beat you." Yang Nantian left in a hurry.
Chen Qifeng helplessly said to Zhao Lin, "It is my incompetence that disturbed the general."
"It doesn't matter. Let's play well tomorrow and let him see why he was not chosen." Zhao Lin said casually.
"I will never embarrass you." Chen Qifeng also hurried away
"Why bother with so much trouble? Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Disobeying them is disobeying them and you will be executed according to the law."
Fu Wenqi came over and said.
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "It's just a matter of emotional imbalance, not a big deal. If we suppress it, it will also affect the future unity of the Qingzhou Army. Anyway, I believe in Chen Qifeng, and a fight will make everyone shut up."
Fu Wenqi nodded.
The 30,000 Qingzhou troops, plus auxiliary troops, relatives, and gathered merchants, have formed a medium-sized military town.
Whoever commands the Qingzhou army has the final say, so Yang Nantian takes it very seriously.
But Zhao Lin didn't take it seriously at all.
If Chen Qifeng can't even beat Yang Nantian, it's not worth Li Weibai's time and effort to care about him.
the next day.
Chen Qifeng and Yang Nantian came together to invite Zhao Lin to watch the game.
They chose to fight head-on on the training ground.
There were three thousand men each, and they did not ride horses or use carriages.
Hearing about such a lively event, Bai Shiyuan brought people from the governor's office to watch the fun.
"Fortunately, the governor stayed in Mingzhou, otherwise Chi Qiaoyu would have been able to see all this excitement." Bai Shiyuan took a long time to come up with a half-complimentary remark.
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Don't force yourself to do things that you are not good at, Lord Bai. I don't care about that. You just need to do your job well."
Bai Shiyuan blushed and said, "Your Excellency is right."
Who would have thought that this person would call himself mentor more than two years ago.
Now teach yourself a lesson.
It is true that times have changed.
Chen Qifeng and Yang Nantian were both ready and came to Zhao Lin together: "General, please give your orders."
Zhao Lin nodded and said, "In this contest, friendship comes first, competition comes second. Please don't let this damage the harmony."
The two said in unison: "Don't worry, sir."
Zhao Lin said: "Let's start."
The two returned to their camps.
A moment later, shouts and cries of killing were heard, and Yang Nantian's men came out first.
The three thousand men under his command, all wearing fine armor and holding fine weapons, formed a formation and rushed towards the opposite side.
Chen Qifeng's men also came out quickly.
Although they wore the same armor and held the same weapons, his weapons were completely different from Yang Nantian's.
The soldiers under Chen Qifeng did not act impulsively, but just stood there. As Chen Qifeng mobilized, the archers were in the front, drawing their bows and waiting.
The sword and shield soldiers were behind the crossbowmen. They gave up the small shields they used to shoot the Xiong family members in Qingzhou that night, and instead carried a large shield as tall as a person, placed it in front, and carried it on their shoulders.
The spearmen were behind the sword and shield soldiers. They held spears that were nearly two meters long. The tips of the spears were removed and replaced with pieces of wood wrapped in cloth and covered with lime. This could not only prevent injuries during drills, but also make it easier to see the injured areas.
Zhao Lin nodded slightly. "Chen Qifeng is the son of a general after all, and he's very proficient in deploying troops. On the other hand, Yang Nantian, although he's a veteran, is quite crude."
