I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

"You are aware of all the injustices you have experienced in the Imperial Guard."

"And today, the eyes of all civil and military officials and the people are focused on this training ground. It is your time to prove your worth!"

Fang Yi's words were like a loud bell, deafening, and every sentence was full of strength and determination.

"This is the only opportunity I have given you. Whether you are a dragon or a worm depends entirely on your actions to show the world!"

After he finished speaking, he raised the long blade in his hand high. His powerful voice, accompanied by the sound of the weapon cutting through the air, was full of weight: "Today's battle, although not a real battlefield, is no less intense than the fight on the blood-stained robes! As long as you have a breath left, charge into the battle and defend our land to the death!"

"As for the Japanese bandits, they have evil ambitions and are plotting to take over our ten cities. How do you think we should deal with them?"

"Fight to the death!" The response came like a tide, majestic and shocking.

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"

The imperial guards' uniform slogans resounded through the sky like a landslide or tsunami.

Fang Yi nodded with satisfaction and gently waved the whip in his hand, "Everyone, listen to my orders, follow me and go to war!"

The rumbling sound of horse hooves immediately rang out, and the entire ground seemed to be shaking.

Upstairs, the eyes of civil and military officials were focused again. Fang Yi was riding a white horse, and his glittering silver armor was even more dazzling in the sun, like a brave young general leaping out of an ancient book.

However, if one looks closely, the imperial guards following behind appear to be of mixed quality. There are both old veterans and new recruits with childish faces. Their equipment is worn and dull, and their armor is mottled with rust. In this scene, where is the dignity that an army should have?

What was even more surprising was that some of these imperial guards were holding crude tree trunks and rattan shields, which made them look out of place, as if they had abandoned all formal equipment in despair.

Shangguan Ba ​​sighed inwardly when he saw this.

The formation Fang Yi displayed was quite impressive, but in his eyes, it was all just bluffing, and the gorgeous appearance could not cover up the emptiness inside.

The officials around also looked puzzled. It seemed that the imperial guards in front of them could not compete with the well-trained Japanese warriors. Even Mu Junsheng and Wu Minbo had to shake their heads secretly, worried about the upcoming battle.

On the battlefield, the two sides confronted each other.

Fang Yi glanced around and his eyes met with Kenjiro Niino who was not far away. The other party actually made a provocative gesture of wiping his neck with an arrogant look on his face.

Faced with the provocation, Fang Yi curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer. Instead of getting angry, he raised his thumb and made a thumbs-up gesture to Kenjiro Niino, calmly and unhurriedly.

Kenjiro Shinno was stunned, and then he found that Fang Yi's thumb slowly moved down, as if hinting at something...

"idiot!"

Kenjiro Niino cursed, obviously not expecting such calmness and irony.

Kenjiro Niino's chest was boiling with rage, and his eyes suddenly became cold and murderous.

However, the smile on Fang Yi's face did not diminish but grew, as if he never tired of this provocation. He once again raised his middle finger to Kenjiro Niino, with a strong sense of provocation!

"Warriors, our oath is—"

Fang Yi shouted loudly, echoing through the sky.

Afterwards, many guards responded in unison, like thunder.

“Push the limits and crush them!”

"Push the limits, crush them, crush them..."

The shouts were like thunder, like a landslide or tsunami, resounding throughout the entire training ground and shaking the heavens and the earth!

On the viewing stand, all the civil and military officials were shocked and had complicated expressions.

Although the slogans of these guards were unconventional and unrestrained, they contained an indescribable majestic aura. There was no sign of disorganization at all. Instead, they were like tigers and hungry wolves ready to pounce!

Upon hearing this, Kenjiro Niino's expression became even more sinister. He tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, his eyes as cold as stars.

Humph, after the battle, let’s see if you, Fang Yi, can still be so arrogant!

At the training ground, the expressions of civil and military officials became increasingly subtle when they heard the soul-stirring oath from Fang Yi's camp.

"As a member of the Imperial Guard, shouting such a slogan is really disgraceful..."

Beside Shangguan Ba, some officials were whispering.

"When two armies confront each other, this kind of high morale is exactly what is needed!"

On Mu Junsheng's side, some people were full of praise.

On the throne, Emperor Taining listened quietly to the discussions of his ministers without saying a word. He only gave the order in a majestic voice:

"Prepare for battle, start!"

On the parade ground, a team of attendants walked quickly from the viewing platform to the front of the two armies, holding up an exquisite golden box.

Fang Yi and Kenjiro Niino walked side by side.

The golden box was opened, revealing a scroll inside - this was the covenant for today's strategy practice!

Kenjiro Shinno had a solemn expression on his face. He rode his horse forward, took the scroll, picked up the brush dipped in golden ink, and began to write quickly.

The leader unfolded the scroll and announced loudly to the viewing platform:

“The covenant has been made!”

"In this exercise, the victory lies in capturing the enemy general!"

“Everyone, take your positions…”

"start!"

On the viewing platform, the chess official suddenly waved down the flag in his hand.

Kenjiro Shinno sneered, unsheathed the long sword in his hand, swung it forward, and said sternly:

"charge!"

Boom! Boom!

The sound of horse hooves was deafening, accompanied by rolling dust. Five hundred Japanese warriors suddenly rushed towards Fang Yi and his group like a tide, with great momentum and unstoppable!

Hundreds of horses galloped like a tide, their momentum was earth-shaking, like raging waves crashing against the shore.

The samurai from Japan held a long sword in his hand. Although the blade was wrapped in coarse cloth, the fierce murderous intent was still chilling.

"Meet the enemy!"

Fang Yi swung his sword in the air and issued a loud command to Bian Yuqing.

"Pass on the order. Do not put up any unnecessary resistance. The only goal is to knock the enemy off his horse!"

"As ordered!"

Bian Yuqing acted immediately upon hearing the order and led his troops to charge forward resolutely.

On the parade ground, dust was raised by the rapid galloping of both sides and gathered in the center, like the suppression and accumulation of energy on the eve of a storm.

In an instant, the two sides were in a melee, unable to separate.

War horses collided with shields, men and horses fell to the ground, and dust rolled, as if the battlefield had turned into a gray vortex.

The sounds of shouting and fighting penetrated the dust and resounded through the sky.

On the viewing stand, everyone watched with bated breath, not wanting to miss any details.

As soon as the war started, the fighting was already in full swing on the parade ground.

In the dust, the two sides fought hard and it was difficult to tell the winner.

Emperor Taining sat on the dragon throne, taking in everything, but his face was calm and unfathomable.

"My Lords, how can our army gain the upper hand in this battle?"

Civil and military officials looked at each other, trying to figure out the emperor's sudden question.

"As the Minister of War, what is your opinion on this?"

Emperor Taining's gaze fell on Duan Xusheng.

Duan Xusheng stepped forward reluctantly, examined the battlefield, and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, the key to victory in this battle lies in the first charge!"

"Japan is located in a remote area and is not good at cavalry warfare."

"And the first charge is the moment to test the riding skills of both sides."

"If Champion Hou wants to win, he must seize this opportunity and take advantage of the momentum of the first round to gain the upper hand..."

"And use the advantage of cavalry warfare to pursue the victory!"

"Only in this way can we win!"

After he finished speaking, all the ministers nodded in thought, believing that Duan Xusheng's words did make sense.

The view returned to the training ground, the flying dust had become slightly thinner, and the battle situation became clearer.
