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

Mu Junsheng, Wu Minbo and others leaned forward, focused on the battlefield, with worry gradually forming between their brows.

In the first confrontation, although many Japanese soldiers were killed, they remained united and their momentum remained undiminished.

On the other hand, Fang Yi's imperial guards were scattered during the charge and fell into various places.

Shangguan Ba ​​and Zhou Zhengxuan's eyes flickered slightly, and without a single movement, the winner was decided.

As Duan Xusheng expected, Fang Yi was defeated in the first round of cavalry battle.

He should have had the advantage, but he failed to seize the initiative!

Even more shocking is that

The guards under Fang Yi's command fled in all directions after they fell from their horses!

"Why is it so unbearable?"

Duan Xusheng looked at the scene with a frown on his face, his anxiety evident on his face.

"When two armies confront each other, the most important thing to avoid is a loss of morale!"

"Champion Hou should be strictly ordered before the battle, and no one should be afraid of fighting and retreating!"

"However……"

He sighed, his voice full of disappointment.

"The Champion Marquis's imperial guards scattered like birds and beasts when they encountered the attack, and their morale collapsed..."

"Under the circumstances, I'm afraid there will be no chance to clean up the mess and restore morale!"

Hearing this, Emperor Taining couldn't help but wrinkle his brows slightly.

The scene on the parade ground was exactly as Duan Xusheng had described.

Although the remaining cavalry on both sides continued to charge recklessly,

But on Fang Yi's side, once the Imperial Guards were defeated, they fled in all directions like arrows from a bow.

On the other hand, the Japanese warriors did not panic after falling off their horses, but quickly gathered together.

What's more, when they gathered together, they showed their majestic momentum to chase again!

"This matter must not continue!" Duan Xusheng sighed.

He glanced at Emperor Taining quietly, then shook his head gently.

"Otherwise, the title of Champion Marquis may be hard to keep!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Ba's lips curled up into an almost imperceptible sneer.

Sure enough, Fang Yi was as fragile as he expected!

He naturally knew the combat effectiveness of the Royal Guards under Fang Yi.

Those scattered soldiers, let alone Fang Yi who lacks both moral integrity and talent, even if they were replaced by famous generals who have experienced hundreds of battles,

In the end, there is no way to save the situation!

In this battle, Fang Yi’s defeat is inevitable!

Then, he secretly glanced at Zhou Zhengxuan who was not far away.

It seemed to imply that if Fang Yi was defeated, he would be lucky to be alive, let alone the title of champion marquis...

"Follow my command!"

Seeing that Ma Zhan had the upper hand, Kenjiro Niino was overjoyed and filled with pride.

"The whole army will charge again. We must defeat the enemy's front and divide them!"

With one order, the Japanese cavalry gathered again.

With overwhelming force, he rushed towards where Fang Yi was.

Instantly, everyone watching the game was on edge.

If Fang Yi is unable to withstand this round of attack, defeat is inevitable.

However, at this moment, there were only about a hundred cavalrymen left in Fang Yi's team, and the rest had been dispersed. How could they resist?

“It seems that the time has come.”

Facing the fierce attack of the Japanese cavalry, Fang Yi curled up a faint smile.

He looked at Kenjiro Niino behind the cavalry, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

The enemy before us is no longer to be feared!

Next, the real ground battle begins!

"Captain Bian, pass the order, everyone should avoid the enemy's front and form a battle formation to meet the enemy!"

"Yes!"

Bian Yuqing moved in response, as if he had been ready to go.

A royal guard beside him raised the horn and blew it with all his might.

“Woo—”

The deep sound of the horn, with a sense of tragedy and grandeur, resounded throughout the parade grounds.

Another imperial guard held up the command flag and waved it vigorously.

"Array up!"

"Array up!"

In a flash, the Royal Guards who were fighting against the Japanese warriors shouted in response.

The five hundred imperial guards moved in almost unison.

"My Lord, they are going to form a battle array!"

Beside Kenjiro Shinno, the middle-aged general from earlier, wearing full armor, stared at the opposite side solemnly.

"Arrangement? What kind of array?"

Kenjiro Shinno narrowed his eyes slightly, examining the scene in front of him like a cheetah.

"The team is so disorganized, and you're trying to form a battle array before you can even get them together?" He raised the corner of his mouth in contempt, "It's just a bluff, an attempt to boost morale!"

"Pass the order down, the whole army will charge forward, and defeat them completely in one go!" He announced with great enthusiasm, "Let the emperor of the Great Zhou and all the civil and military officials witness with their own eyes the fearlessness and bravery of our Japanese warriors!"

In an instant, the Japanese horns sounded like thunder, and the cavalry that had been assembled for a long time rushed towards Fang Yi's camp like a raging wave with unstoppable momentum!

On the city wall, all the civil and military officials looked solemn as they witnessed the sudden change in the situation on the parade ground.

"It seems that the Champion Marquis intends to gather the imperial guards to prepare for the next round of competition." Someone whispered.

"The cavalry did not gain the upper hand in the battle, and was unable to reorganize quickly. If they want to counterattack at this time, I'm afraid... Japan will not give them such an opportunity." Another person was worried.

"Japan has launched an offensive!"

"Alas, the situation of Champion Marquis is probably not optimistic!"

"Huh? What does Champion Marquis want to do by doing this?" Everyone turned to look in surprise.

Facing the overwhelming attack from Japan, Fang Yi's troops dispersed like mercury. Not only did they not fight head-on, but the riders also dismounted. However, within a few breaths, the scattered 500 imperial guards miraculously reorganized, forming groups of two or three and quickly approached.

Forty teams were formed, each team was neatly organized, with twelve people in total, no more and no less.

Is this what Champion Hou called a formation?

"This formation has twelve people in a team, wielding swords and spears at the same time, with both contradictions and conflicts, it really has miraculous effects!" exclaimed the minister on the side.

"However, its true power is still unknown!" another person echoed, full of doubts.

Duan Xusheng showed regret on his face and shook his head gently: "A few dozen people alone can hardly resist the charge of the Japanese cavalry, let alone this small team of only twelve people?"

"No matter how big the sand is, it will still be sand in the wind. After this impact, I'm afraid that the Champion Marquis will be powerless to recover."

"And if we use cavalry to fight at this time, the champion will be at an absolute disadvantage."

"The Japanese long swords have obvious advantages on the battlefield and are extremely difficult to break." After saying this, he sighed heavily again, as if he was sure that Fang Yi was doomed to fail.

Upon hearing this, all the ministers shook their heads and sighed, their disappointment evident in their words. Even Mu Junsheng and Wu Minbo frowned. Although Duan Xusheng's words were harsh, the benefits he pointed out were indisputable facts.

In this battle of military tactics, it seems that the champion will end up with regret...

At this time, Shangguan Ba ​​asked with a smile: "Minister Duan, why do you think so?"

"The imperial guards under the command of the Champion Marquis were personally selected by him from among the elite."

Shangguan Ba ​​changed the subject and said, "Our imperial army has always been known for its bravery and fighting skills. Even when facing the elite troops from Japan, we are not completely powerless to fight back."

Mu Junsheng's eyes moved, and he thought to himself: Shangguan Ba's words actually contain praise and criticism, and their meaning is profound.

In view of the extraordinary combat capability displayed by the imperial guards during this military exercise and strategy discussion, the crux of the problem obviously points to the commander-in-chief.

On the side, Duan Xusheng understood what Shangguan Ba ​​meant and silently agreed with his point of view.

"Duke Ning may not have noticed that the way Marquis Guanjun deploys troops is actually unpredictable and difficult to understand..."

Needless to say, Fang Yi is fully responsible for the defeat in today's competition!

Shangguan Ba ​​shook his head slowly and let out a long sigh: "Thinking back then, the Champion Marquis made an impassioned speech in the court and took the initiative to ask for a fight, wanting to compete with the Japanese delegation."

"I originally thought that such lofty sentiments and aspirations are the most valuable!"

"I never expected that the current situation of the war would be..."

"Ugh!"

"Under normal circumstances, victory or defeat is commonplace in the military, but today's battle concerns the stability of our dynasty's foundation!"

Shangguan Ba ​​showed reluctance and a look of concern for state affairs, and was obviously ready to challenge Fang Yixing to bring charges.

Wu Minbo felt heavy-hearted. If the situation continued like this, Fang Yi might face an irreversible desperate situation...

Just as he was about to get up, his sleeve was suddenly pulled gently, and Mu Junsheng on the side called his name in a low voice.

"Right Prime Minister, please look..."

Wu Minbo followed Mu Junsheng's gaze towards the parade ground. The scene before him startled him. He could not help but lean forward and observe carefully.

"The situation on this battlefield seems to be different from what Minister Duan described!"
