Unmatched Soldier King

In a courtyard in the Military Court Training Department, Wu Annbang was currently receiving tea from a training department counselor.    

    

As a famous person in the army, coupled with his special relationship with Military Affairs Minister Lin Chengzhou, Wu Annbang also had his own power in the army.    

    

The training department's counselor was called Gong Yao. In the early years, he had been the cavalry captain of Tianyang Pass and was promoted by Wu Annbang. After returning to the capital, he entered the Military Court Training Department.    

    

A few days ago, many of the recruits knew about the farce between Ye Tian and Lin Qiyu at the training department's main training field. Of course, Gong Yao knew about it.    

    

At this moment, Gong Yao spoke, "Commander-in-chief, the result of the competition that day, Instructor Lin probably lost."    

    

"How did he lose?" Wu Annbang said.    

    

"Manager Ye's Pulley Type Steel Crossbow could not hurt Instructor Lin at all, but in the end he took out a strange weapon. He looked like a civilian's firecracker called the Sky Cannon. Manager Ye used this firecracker to break Instructor Lin's Silver Dragon armor." Gong Yao said.    

    

"What?" Wu Annbang put down the bowl of tea in his hand and asked, "Has Qi Yu's Silver Dragon armor been broken?"    

    

Gong Yao nodded, "That's right."    

    

"I said why did she reject the engagement, and even said that there was someone else in her heart. So that's how it is, so that's how it is." Wu Annbang said in realization.    

    

He wanted to ask her something, but Wu Annbang suddenly said, "A few years ago, when I obtained the Silver Dragon Armor, Qi Yu swore to the former owner of this armor that anyone who can break this armor would have to promise themselves. Later on, she even promised me that in the future, I would be the only one to break this armor.    

    

At this point, Wu Annbang paused, he looked outside the door with his fierce eyes and continued, "This Qi Yu, she has a very strong promise. Since she swore it when she was given the armor, she will not break it."    

    

"Unless?" Gong Yao asked probingly.    

    

"Unless he's dead." Wu Annbang slammed one of his hands on the square table. With a "Hua La" sound, the square table shattered, turning into a pile of sawdust.    

    

"Commander-in-chief's Iron Flowing Palm seems to have gotten a level higher," said Gong Yao.    

    

The flags fluttered and the battle drums sounded.    

    

On the eighth day of the fifth month of the year of Tianyuan, the curtain officially opened for the annual Imperial Military Competition.    

    

The martial arts competition was taking place on a grassland five miles west of the capital.    

    

With the collaboration of Military Court, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of Industry, an observation deck for a thousand people to watch the tournament had long been set up here.    

    

The emperor and a few imperial concubines sat in the center of the viewing platform. On either side of them were the two sisters, Chu Yue and Chu Yu, as well as a few of the royal family's elders.    

    

Ye Tian led the Royal Labor Union people and sat at the back. Especially Fu Yutang's more than twenty General of Beilao Pass. Currently, he was holding a short rod wrapped in cloth, sitting behind Ye Tian, and looking at the battle field without blinking.    

    

After the three drum beats, with the viewing platform as the center, an infantry phalanx appeared on both sides of the prairie.    

    

The emperor began to observe with great interest.    

    

The flag on the left side of the square formation had the words, "Renjia" written in large letters. The banner on the right side of the square formation had the words, 'Degui' written on it.    

    

"So it's Song Renfei and Yang Degui." The emperor laughed loudly, "Fine, let's see if the 1st Legion is powerful or 3rd Legion is powerful."    

    

The sound of the battle drums suddenly became more intense, and the infantry of the 1st and 3rd Legion began to attack.    

    

As the two formations gradually reached an open area about a hundred meters in front of the observation deck, they started shooting arrows at each other.    

    

Although the number of arrows was not great, it still caused several of the infantry in the two phalanx to fall.    

    

Ye Tian stared and shouted, "Oh my god, so this military exercise is for real?"    

    

Turning around, Ye Tian looked at Ruan Ji beside him and said, "This is a combat exercise?"    

    

Ruan Ji smiled and said, "Guild Leader does not know that before the Martial Competition, there was a mage who added a type of magic defense to the body of every soldier participating in the Martial Competition. This kind of magical defense would only work when the opponent's weapon penetrated their armor and then tore their flesh, thus ensuring that there was no damage to the surface of their body. Moreover, once this kind of magical defense has an effect it will cause the body of the person with this kind of magical defense to become numb and fall to the ground. It will last for at least two hours. "    

    

Ye Tian was stunned when he heard that. He nodded and said, "So that's how it is. In other words, the soldiers could go all out in their battles without having to worry about their own lives or the death of the enemy. On one hand, it can block attacks that could harm the skin, and on the other hand, it can make the user's body numb and fall to the ground, thus creating the effect of the opponent killing or dissolving their battle power. "    

    

Ruan Ji nodded: "Yes."    

    

Ye Tian chuckled, "Interesting, interesting."    

    

Very quickly, Ye Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Compared to the military exercises from his previous life, they were all fake and couldn't be used freely. However, this was the real live ammunition exercise. He did not need to worry about real casualties, it was the perfect outcome.    

    

At this moment, the infantry phalanx of the First and Third Legions began their charge.    

    

With the shield in front and the spear at the back, the two steel-like porcupines collided with each other.    

    

Battle cries, hissing sounds, angry roars, and the sound of weapons colliding all intertwined together, causing one's blood to boil upon seeing it.    

    

Under the leadership of Song Renfei, the 1st Legion formed their own combat squads, singlehandedly attacking the 3rd Legion's soldiers.    

    

Soon, the third legion was no longer able to organize an effective counterattack. Under the First Legion's onslaught, the whole army was gradually annihilated.    

    

The emperor laughed loudly, "Good, Song Renfei, this sly old fellow. Although he's not young anymore, he does have a plan."    

    

After Ming Jin withdrew his troops, the logistics soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield and carried away the dead and wounded soldiers one by one.    

    

Three drums sounded, and another two infantry formations appeared on both sides of the battling field.    

    

This was the second legion and Sixth Legion. When he was fighting against the first and third legions, there was nothing new about it, it was just that the battle was a little more intense.    

    

One by one, there were both infantry and cavalry, and after a fierce battle, they either won or lost.    

    

What was surprising was that the Guard Legion that Lin Aoxiong led was mediocre and was defeated in the third round.    

    

What caused Ye Tian and Fu Yutang to pay more attention was the battle between North Prison Legion. North Prison Legion were the troops guarding the Beilao Pass, the direct descendants of Fu Yutang. The current North Prison Legion was controlled by Fu Yutang's assistant, Nangong Ze.    

    

When the battle had begun, North Prison Legion hadn't charged over, but had been waiting for the Sixth Legion to rush over. Halfway through his Sixth Legion, he was shot by the sky full of arrows and had lost most of his combat power. By the time he had reached the front of his North Prison Legion, he was already almost done for.    

    

The emperor laughed out loud. "Pulley Type Steel Crossbow of the Beilao Pass are powerful and tyrannical indeed. It's a pity that I wasn't able to see for myself how this crossbow can suppress the Oca Longbow to the point where it is unable to retaliate."    

    

When Wu Annbang's Tie Yun entered the stage, Ye Tian couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.    

    

It was like a cloud wrapped in steel. The name Tie Yun was originally written in this way.    

    

Every rider in Tie Yun's army was covered not only in armor, but also in his eyes and fingers. The war horses under the cavalry soldiers were covered with armor and bound with steel.    

    

The cavalry and war horses actually did not have a single flaw.    

    

When Tie Yun charged forward, the ground shook and a low roar resounded, filling everyone's heart with awe and shock.    

    

As expected, no cavalry or infantry formation was able to withstand Tie Yun's small scale charge.    

    

When the sun was setting, the military tournament was nearing its end.    

    

The next match, would be the real finals, North Prison Legion versus Tie Yun.    

    

Ye Tian and Fu Yutang watched the match nervously. Under Nangong Ze's command, the North Prison Legion was like a porcupine hugging each other. Under the defense of the dense shield, concealed within were countless Pulley Type Steel Crossbow.    

    

With Wu Annbang's order, Tie Yun began his charge.    

    

Seeing the iron tide rolling towards them, Nangong Ze had a serious face. He was completely focused on judging Tie Yun's distance with his eyes, in order to obtain the Pulley Type Steel Crossbow's greatest killing effect.    

    

As Tie Yun got closer, Nangong Ze waved his hand and a black cloud flew out from the North Prison Legion. It was almost at the ground and shot straight at Tie Yun.    

    

Just as the Crossbow Arrow was about to approach Tie Yun's first row of cavalry soldiers, almost at the same time, all the cavalry soldiers picked up a layer of black armor from their back and placed it horizontally in front of their heads and chests.    

    

Ding ding dang dang. After a series of metal clangs, a portion of Tie Yun Zhong's cavalry soldiers fell.    

    

Pulley Type Steel Crossbow s could obviously pierce through the shields held by the cavalry, but whether or not the Crossbow Arrow s could continue to injure the cavalry after they pierced through the shields, or whether or not they still had the ability to kill, would depend on the angle of the Crossbow Arrow s, the angle of the shields, and the cavalry's own reaction speed.    

    

After the first attack from the North Prison Legion, almost everyone's shield had been destroyed, but the ones that really fell were only a small group of people, which didn't affect Tie Yun's true strength at all.    

    

At this moment, Tie Yun's powerful impact and astonishing speed were fully displayed.    

    

The first row of the warhorses were less than fifty meters away from the Pulley Type Steel Crossbow.    

    

Although the firing rate of Pulley Type Steel Crossbow was already unparalleled, after the second round of fire, the hooves of Tie Yun's first row of war horses had already stepped onto the huge armor of the Beilao Pass soldiers.    

    

From a defensive point of view, North Prison Legion was completely unable to withstand Tie Yun's full strength charge.    

    

After the phalanx had been dispersed, Nangong Zeqiang ordered everyone to fight on their own and tried their best to drag Tie Yun into a chaotic situation.
