Chapter 1062 Confrontation between the 2 armies
In the center of the parade ground, Tongtou's expression suddenly became abnormal when he heard that "the county soldiers are coming."
Lin Er was still holding his breath, and upon seeing this, he immediately teased, "Copperhead, Lord Shen's soldiers are coming our way."
Tongtou rubbed his sore wrist, his eyes dodging, "I heard it, you say it."
"Before... didn't you say the female soldiers were good with guns?" Lin Er's eyes flickered, and he stroked his chin and said, "What's the name of the most powerful female soldier? Ah Hua? Ah Miao? Ah Shu?"
"Ah He!" Tongtou's ears turned red, and he turned around and pretended to touch his sword. "Whether someone is good at using a spear or not is none of your business. You keep meddling in other people's business all day long."
Lin Er sneered: "Are you still unhappy after a few words? Didn't you pick a fight with me before because I said something wrong? Do you think I don't know that every time those people from the small training ground come over, your eyes start looking for... umm——"
"Stop talking!" Tongtou's face flushed red as he pinched the tender flesh on Lin Er's waist and said, "Gossiping behind my back is bad for my reputation!"
Lin Er was pinched so hard that his teeth were bared. He twisted his waist and said, "You coward! You always peek at me secretly. I'm leaving today, and I'm afraid I don't even know your name! If it were me, I would go over and make friends with her and say goodbye properly!"
Bronze Head was unusually silent.
After a long while, he finally said, "She is so powerful. She has a bright future following Lord Shen. I am just a small soldier. I am not worthy of her."
Lin Er was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his elbow and hit Tongtou.
"Copperhead, do you want to be a general?"
"Nonsense, don't you want to?" Tongtou answered without thinking.
"That's all!" Lin Er hooked his arm around his neck and smiled frivolously, "The general said, if you don't want to be a general's private, you're not a good private. Since you want to be one, you'll definitely be able to be one in the future. If you become a general, you'll definitely be worthy of Ah He."
This statement clearly sounded like a daydream, but Tongtou was actually inspired.
He clenched his fist, as if talking to Lin Er, but also as if talking to himself: "Then I will work harder. When I become a general, I will go and make friends with her again..."
"..."
Lin Er rolled his eyes. "That's a long time coming! Making friends isn't engagement. Since you're already a future general, why can't you go find her today and make friends with her?"
today?
Tongtou's heart skipped a beat.
When facing feelings, people are inevitably a little blind.
For example, right now, Tongtou feels that he may really be able to become a general in the future.
And today, he really should say goodbye to Ah He as a friend.
......
The dark gold-woven robe and the gilded tiger-head sword are the iconic attire of the commander of the Yulin Guard.
Whenever Shen Zheng saw Yi Qun wearing this outfit, she would admire him in her heart - so handsome!
Just like... the Jinyiwei she had seen on TV in her previous life, with surveillance and judgment that ignored boundaries, and unpredictable coldness and cruelty. Every move gave people a sense of oppression as if "I am acting on behalf of the emperor, all outsiders, get out of here immediately."
But this feeling of oppression disappeared immediately after Yiqun spoke.
"Oh, why is it so lively today?"
"..."
Shen Zheng's filter for him was shattered to the ground. She bowed and said, "Commander."
"I've been busy wrapping up these past two days and haven't yet personally congratulated Lord Shen on his promotion to Assistant Manager." After returning the gift, Yi Qun looked toward the entrance to the training grounds and said with a smile, "Today was the final round of attack and defense. These brats fought like they were on a real battlefield, fighting with all their might. Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"Long? Not long at all!" Lu Botang laughed out loud, raising his chin towards the center of the training ground. "We haven't finished our work here yet, how about... you guys practice a little longer?"
I tried the steel sword and the steel saber, but the compound bow hadn’t made its debut yet!
Take the steel arrowhead, for example. It made him itch.
"That won't do. We need to show Master Shen the results of our training." Yi Qun then looked outside the training grounds and shouted, "Form a formation and enter the training grounds!"
"Understood!" The response echoed throughout the training grounds.
The next moment, the county soldiers formed a fish-scale attack formation, rushed through the gate of the parade ground, and headed straight for the center of the parade ground.
Seeing this, Lu Botang glared at Yi Qun fiercely, "Are you bringing Lord Shen's people to destroy my place?!"
Even the fish scale attack formation was set up!
Bah, do you really think his Zhongwu Army is made of mud?!
After cursing silently, he stood with his sword in hand and shouted the order: "Zhongwu Army, listen up! Put on your armor and take up your weapons! Form a goose-shaped formation and surround us!"
A strong attack, right? See if he doesn't just come for a flanking attack!
“Understood!”
The Zhongwu Army quickly put on their armor and formed up in battle formation, raising a cloud of dust in the field.
"What's going on?!" Lin Er asked Tongtou while putting on his old armor, "Why would they start fighting over a disagreement out of the blue?"
"We'll just follow your orders!" Tongtou grabbed the spear and ran to the left wing of the army.
But in the blink of an eye, the two armies faced each other in the center of the parade ground, and the battle was about to break out.
Shen Zheng stood on the platform with his hands behind his back, watching the confrontation between the two factions, and found it quite interesting.
Although Lu Botang said that he was "bringing people to mess things up", he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. It was obvious that his competitive spirit was aroused and he was ready to teach the Tongan County soldiers a lesson.
Yi Qun stood beside him, tapping the hilt of the tiger-head sword with his fingertips, and commented, "The Zhongwu Army's formation is quite good, but the archers are too conspicuous."
"What do you know!" Lu Botang exploded upon being provoked: "Do you dare to compete? The loser will treat the whole army to wine! And there must be meat!"
Yi Qun turned to look at Shen Zheng.
Shen Zheng: “?”
So Yi Qun was using her purse to compete with Lu Botang?
"..." Looking at the Tongan County soldiers on the field, full of fighting spirit, she compromised: "Fight!"
She wanted to take a good look at what abilities these county soldiers trained through group exercises had!
With her purse as a backup, Yiqun turned to the county soldiers and shouted, "Fish scale formation, withdraw!"
On the training ground, the black formation changed immediately. Shield bearers moved in and out of the team, half-crouching. Spearmen poked out their spear blades from the gaps between their shields, and archers put their hands on their wrists.
Looking at the weapon flashing with cold light, Shen Zheng suddenly became nervous.
This is a real fight with real guns and knives, so there won’t be any blood, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, the two armies suddenly performed "pre-war etiquette".
All I could hear was the Zhongwu Army archers shouting, "Little parade ground, take it! Although our Zhongwu Army's arrows are blunt, they are not afraid of strangers. They still hurt a lot when they hit you!"
It turns out that they practiced with blunt arrowheads.
The Tongan archers, a mix of men and women, responded in unison, "The arrows may be the same, but the soldiers of Tongan County are no pushovers! Brothers on the other side, come charging ahead!"
Lu Botang laughed loudly and looked at Yi Qun. "First round, archers, shoot at each other—stop when you've hit the target! Zhongwu Army, listen to my order, fire!"
Yi Qun also looked at him and shouted, "Tong'an County soldiers, listen to my order! Release!"
