Chapter 717: Chapter 717: Provoking Wild Brother_1

Some were originally stationed here for battle, while others were brought by Brother Ye, the elite soldiers. With the fusion of the new and old generals, who would emerge victorious?

Brother Ye and Qiu Qi were both ready. One stationed at this end, the other at the far end, both armed with long spears. When the battle drum sounded, they charged towards each other...

The onlookers initially expected to witness an exciting duel that day. The agreement of fifty rounds to decide the winner suggested that at least thirty rounds would take place. Yet the outcome exceeded their expectations immensely—

In the first round, when the two met, Brother Ye tightly reined his horse. The horse’s forelegs lunged, and Brother Ye rapidly mounted, a quick flash, a swift jab, and he knocked off Qiu Qi’s hat.

Qiu Qi hadn’t understood what had just happened when he lost his hat.

Qiu Qi was shocked.

The soldiers on both sides understood clearly. When it came to technique in mounted combat, Brother Ye was undoubtedly first-rate.

In the second round, the two adjusted their direction and once again charged towards each other. This time, Qiu Qi learned the lesson from the first round. He closely watched Brother Ye’s figure to avoid another airborne attack.

However, Brother Ye didn’t offer Qiu Qi any chance or face. This time he directly leapt off from his horseback, striking towards Qiu Qi. Qiu Qi instinctively ducked his head, assuming he could evade Brother Ye’s lance. However, the lance suddenly descended a foot lower.

It turned out that Brother Ye’s earlier move was just a feint. By the time Qiu Qi realized it, it was already too late. Dodging the lance, he had no choice but to leap from the horse. At the same moment, Brother Ye followed suit, pointing his lance directly at Qiu Qi’s throat.

The soldiers gasped in surprise. Brother Ye had dismounted Qiu Qi in merely two rounds!

Without a reason to deny his defeat, Qiu Qi hurriedly knelt before Brother Ye. "I have lost, wholeheartedly surrendered, and apologize for my audacious challenge. Please forgive me, General!"

"Get up," Brother Ye threw his spear aside, looking at the spectators with an icy tone, "Who else wishes to challenge?"

It was an unspoken rule for a new general coming to the military camp. Even if you are personally appointed by the Emperor, you still have to win respect through skill. Otherwise, the soldiers might obey you, but would never truly respect you.

So, Brother Ye intended to settle this once for all. If there were others who wished to challenge him, bring it on, he was ready for the fight!

When Brother Ye’s words fell, the soldiers looked at each other, not sure what to do next, though some were eager to prove themselves.

Brother Ye spoke again, his voice cold, "The last was a battle on horseback. You can challenge me in something else."

Another soldier, a captain, stepped forward, holding two swords, "General, I wish to compare swordsmanship. Even if I can’t win, it would be an honor to spar with you."

The captain then threw a sword to Brother Ye. Catching it, Brother Ye looked at the captain without even drawing the sword from its sheath, "Begin."

The captain drew his sword and charged at Brother Ye immediately.

This time too, it was no more than three rounds when the captain admitted defeat.

Later, some soldiers came up to Brother Ye to compete in broadsword, dagger, and even crossbow skills, which all eventually admitted defeat one by one.

By then, no one was skeptical anymore.

Seeing this, Li Ze ordered to intensify the sound of the drums. On the dusty northern battlefield, all the soldiers bowed to Brother Ye, "We swear to follow General Nangong Ye till death!"
