...
If one day, you happen to be going through a very important martial arts competition, and the surrounding opponents' strength is not much different from yours, and it is at this time that you suddenly realize that you have comprehended something.
Your mind would be filled with all sorts of ideas, and your physical strength would increase exponentially. You would be much more powerful than your opponents.
Would you be excited?
Zhang Feiyu had been immersed in this state of excitement recently, almost to the point where he was unable to extricate himself. In the court theory examination, his results were actually not bad.
Using the twelfth place on the Rising Dragon Roll to become the fifth place in the theory examination, behind Wu Feng. It could be said that he performed exceptionally well.
However, that was of no use.
Because, from start to finish, not many people would pay attention to this ranking. After all, above him were Nangong Hao, Fang Zhengzhi, Yan Xiu, and Wu Feng.
Everyone's focus would always be on those who could become the champion.
As for those below the champion?
Those were merely ants. No matter how talented they were, they would not attract too much attention.
Zhang Feiyu's birth was naturally not low. He was a direct descendant of the thirteen constabularies, and his sister was the Imperial Concubine Hua Fei. Even Ping Yang had to call him brother-in-law.
Of course, this was also of no use.
Zhang Feiyu was extremely talented in this life, and had many noteworthy achievements. For example, he could recite poems at the age of seven, and at the age of nine, his painting was already extremely lifelike.
However, it was a pity that it was still of no use.
Because, his sister, the current Imperial Concubine Hua Fei, could recite poems at the age of six. At the age of eight, her painting skills were already extraordinary. So, when Zhang Feiyu, at the age of seven, took the first poem of his life and ran to his father to seek praise, his father only glanced at it casually. He sighed.
"Not bad!"
Then, Zhang Feiyu seemed to have fallen into some sort of curse.
The twelfth place on the Rising Dragon Roll was a very good result. However... People only cared about the top ten of the Rising Dragon Roll. At most, they would talk about the eleventh place.
As for the twelfth place?
Who would pay attention to this for no reason!
Not bad, not bad, not bad.
This became the phrase that Zhang Feiyu heard the most in his life.
The Eastern Hunting Grounds not long ago was the same. Zhang Feiyu's horse racing skills were superb, but no one cared about him from the start of the race.
This was because Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming, who were ranked sixth and seventh on the Rising Dragon Roll, were ahead of him. Below them were the Ninth Prince, Lin Yun, and Princess Pingyang.
Then …
He didn't have much of a chance to enter the top three, so no one paid attention to him.
This was tragic. What was even more tragic was that Fang Zhengzhi, who was riding a Mud Striped Horse, received even more attention than him! It was simply a tragedy of life.
Fifth in the Court Theory Examination. No one cared. No one cared about the fourth place in the Horse Hunting Competition. When the combat examinations began, everyone's attention was still on Nangong Hao and Wu Feng.
Zhang Feiyu even specially inquired about the information that was sent to Crown Prince Lin Tianrong.
The reports would only say how Wu Feng was like this, how Nangong Hao was like this, how Yan Xiu was like this. However, Zhang Feiyu, who had taken over the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement. But he had never reported it.
Why not?
They both occupied one of the four great tribes, so how could they not report it?
Zhang Feiyu was very concerned about this!
Being born in the Thirteen Constabularies, wasn't that noble? He was ranked twelfth on the Rising Dragon List. Impressive, right?
However. Zhang Feiyu's life was destined to be a black hole. He always hovered on the edge of glory, and was ultimately an existence like a black hole.
Not only was he unable to be the main character, he didn't even have the right to be a supporting character. If one had to describe him, then he would be a named cameo.
Speaking of this. The author couldn't help but ask.
Did anyone still remember who Zhang Feiyu was?
Alright …
Zhang Feiyu's life was destined to be a "tragedy".
However, it didn't matter.
Zhang Feiyu had broken through. From the Heavenly Reflection Peak State to the Supernatural Beginning State. Even though he had just broken through, but, this was definitely the path of a tragic character.
This caused Zhang Feiyu to be extremely excited, so excited that he almost couldn't take care of himself.
He had full confidence that he, being in the Supernatural Beginning State, would definitely be able to fight his way to the top of the Rising Dragon Roll.
Challenging Chi Guyan and Nangong Hao wasn't a problem for now. However, crippling Wu Feng and suppressing Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu's arrogance was still very possible.
Working hard, reorganizing the army, enduring humiliation, rising up in one fell swoop and becoming the brightest star in this combat examination. This was Zhang Feiyu's current thoughts.
Considering that the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement had twelve thousand soldiers, even though it was still a distance away from Wu Feng's twenty thousand soldiers, Zhang Feiyu wasn't afraid.
As long as Wu Feng dared to come!
He dared to give Wu Feng a head-on blow.
Hence …
Wu Feng came, bringing with him a majestic army from both the Yan Ya Settlement and the Shi Zun Settlement. Furthermore, he swore that he would take down the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement in one fell swoop and occupy three cities.
Zhang Feiyu only smiled at this.
Act!
Let's see how long you can act for. He could almost imagine the exaggerated and shocked expression on Wu Feng's face when he realised that he had already broken through to the Supernatural State.
"Impossible, Brother Feiyu, how is it possible for you to reach the Supernatural State so quickly? This … this is simply too unbelievable! "
"Ha ha ha … a person's life will always change at a certain point. Just like me now, this is the case!"
Every time Zhang Feiyu thought of this scene, his heart would tremble with excitement. He wanted these people to remember that in this world, there weren't only Nangong Hao, not only Wu Feng, not only Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu.
There was also him, Zhang Feiyu!
Come, come properly. Be careful, don't sprain your back!
Why were the thirteen constabularies called the thirteen constabularies? Why were the thirteen constabularies always closely linked together? The reason was that the thirteen constabularies were initially the thirteen divisions of cavalry that followed the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The thirteen constabularies that were born on the battlefield had deep friendships and shared the same beliefs.
There was an ancient saying in the Great Xia Dynasty.
"As long as the thirteen constabularies don't fall, the Great Xia Dynasty won't perish!"
If the Great Xia Dynasty was said to be a towering tree, then the thirteen constabularies were undoubtedly the roots of the Great Xia Dynasty, roots that were deeply embedded in the ground.
How could Zhang Feiyu, who was born in the direct line of descent of the thirteen constabularies, not know the art of war?
That was simply a joke.
Even Zhang Feiyu had his own set of conclusions. That was the experience he had accumulated after reading countless books on the art of war.
Furthermore, it was the knowledge he had gained after practicing on the battlefield time and time again.
Aura!
A battle between two sides. How to determine victory or defeat, the most important thing was aura. Only by using aura to suppress the opponent, cripple the opponent. Only then could one obtain victory on the battlefield.
Facing Wu Feng's pincer attack from two sides, Zhang Feiyu wasn't thinking of waiting in the Thunderous Lion Settlement to defend. Instead, he was thinking of how to give Wu Feng a head-on blow.
"Twenty thousand troops, split into two again? This is simply courting death! "Zhang Feiyu raised his head slightly and gazed at the brightly-armoured soldiers under the tent. The corners of his mouth curved into a cold smile.
He could almost guess Wu Feng's plan this time.
The two main settlements each guarded two thousand troops. This was the minimum requirement. Then, the twenty thousand troops instantly became sixteen thousand. Wu Feng had always been guarding the Yan Ya Settlement. Hence, the troop coming from the direction of the Yan Ya Settlement was definitely the main force.
Calculating the number of troops.
There were at least ten thousand people coming from the Yan Ya Settlement, while the Shi Zun Settlement only had six thousand people at most.
Did they want to combine their troops and annihilate them in one fell swoop?
A deep blue ripple-like glow lit up on Zhang Feiyu's body. Faintly, dark green tree branches that looked like lotuses flickered within the glow.
"All generals, listen up!"
"Here!"
"General Li, receive your order!"
"I am here!"
"You will personally lead two thousand cavalry. Set off in the night, you must rush to the Lightning Bird Settlement at the edge. Then, build defensive fortifications at the Lightning Bird Settlement, the Heavenly Thunder Settlement, the Long Star Settlement, and here, here, here, here … A camp for every step, a pass for every ten miles, only defend and not attack! My request is to delay Wu Feng's main force for five days. Minimize the loss of troops! "When Zhang Feiyu finished speaking, he passed an order into the hands of one of the military commanders.
When it came to a real battle.
Of course, Zhang Feiyu wouldn't use those scholars who participated in the combat examination. Because, he knew very clearly that the goal of those people was just to get a ranking.
If it was the disciples of the Thirteen Constabularies, they wouldn't even be able to tell who knew how to fight and who didn't.
That would really tarnish the reputation of the Thirteen Constabularies.
"Roger!" A military commander instantly received the arrow of order. Then. With a turn, he ran out of the military tent without a trace of hesitation.
"The rest of the soldiers, prepare to move out and follow me. I will personally lead ten thousand troops to surround and kill the six thousand troops coming from Shi Zun." When Zhang Feiyu saw the military commander run out of the military tent, he gave another order.
"Young Master Zhang wants to personally lead the troops, this …"
"Call General!"
"Yes, General Zhang, if we all attack, wouldn't the Thunderous Lion Settlement become an empty city? What if General Li's side can't be defended, and we can't take down the troops coming from Shi Zun in time? When Wu Feng leads the troops into the Thunderous Lion Settlement, we would be attacked from both sides? "A military commander said doubtfully.
"That's right, isn't General Zhang's action a little too daring? I still think that we should make use of the terrain to our advantage and defend. "Another military commander also suggested at the side.
"Defend? Ha ha … I wonder if everyone feels happy or worried about Wu Feng leading his troops to attack? " When Zhang Feiyu heard the words of the two military commanders, he didn't fly into a rage immediately. Instead, he asked with a smile on his face.
"This … Wu Feng has the control of two large settlements and the number of soldiers following him is almost double that of us. I think … he would naturally be more worried."
"That's right, if we were given a few more days, we wouldn't be afraid of him."
When the two military commanders heard Zhang Feiyu's question, they glanced at each other, then, opened their mouths to reply.
"Wrong, I'm happy!" Zhang Feiyu shook his head.
"Happy? Where does this happiness come from? "When the other military commanders heard Zhang Feiyu's words, they similarly didn't quite understand.
"I'm happy that this is an opportunity given to me by the heavens. Furthermore, this opportunity really came at the right time. Initially, I was still thinking about how to fight against Wu Feng. Now, I can rest assured."
"I don't really understand."
"Yes, of course you don't understand. Defending is indeed the best method now. All of you have rich battle experience. By making use of the terrain to defend, we indeed have an eighty percent chance of being undefeatable! However, that's only being undefeatable! Defend? Can we defend and become number one in the combat examination? No! Defend? Can we defend and gain actual control over the three large settlements? That's also not possible! Then, let me ask you, why should I defend? "
When Zhang Feiyu said this, a powerful aura naturally emanated from his body. That was a self-confidence that originated from his heart.
Only an extremely strong self-confidence would allow a person to have such a powerful aura.
"I understand!"
"Originally, we only thought that General Zhang only wanted to be undefeatable in the combat examination. However, we never expected General Zhang to have such ambition!"
"As expected of a disciple of the thirteen constabularies. We are willing to pledge our lives to follow you!"
"Follow the general and become number one in the combat examination!"
When the military commanders heard Zhang Feiyu's words and felt the strong self-confidence and aura on Zhang Feiyu's face, their hearts trembled. Then, they all half-knelt.
…
After Fang Zhengzhi finished listening to the settlement chief's analysis of the situation in the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement, he kept thinking about a question. Who was this Zhang Feiyu?
Why hadn't anyone mentioned him before?
Mm …
This was a problem. However, it wasn't a problem that troubled Fang Zhengzhi for too long. He quickly understood. Because, after seeing the settlement chief's dark skin.
He thought of a plan.
A plan that he thought was extremely good.
That was to pass off fish eyes as pearls.
Since the Southern Mountain Range could mix soldiers into the four main settlements, then, he could also mix soldiers into the four main settlements of the Southern Mountain Range.
All he had to do was smear some black oil.
Bringing two thousand soldiers and five hundred Silver Horned Wolves to search for Yan Xiu was clearly not something a wise person would do.
That was a headless fly.
Fang Zhengzhi naturally wouldn't do such a thankless thing, especially in the Southern Mountain Range that was filled with fearsome beasts. Hence, he decided to spread the news.
Then, wait for Yan Xiu to meet up with him.
In terms of the influence of spreading the news, it was naturally better for the large settlements.
After knowing about the Southern Mountain Range's Every Citizen Soldier strategy, he decided to make use of this strategy. Now that he had the Cyan Stone Token in his hands, he only needed to sneak into the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement.
Then, he would secretly contact the settlement chief of the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement and ask him to use the resources of the Southern Mountain Range to spread the news and search for Yan Xiu's whereabouts. This was naturally an extremely good shortcut.
Attack the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement?
He had never thought of this. After all, Zhang Feiyu had the power of twelve thousand soldiers. Even if he had five hundred Silver Horned Wolves in his hands, it would still be extremely taxing.
It was too stupid to fight until both sides suffered heavy losses.
This was Fang Zhengzhi's initial thought. However, after he reached the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement, this thought changed slightly. Because, he discovered …
There wasn't a single soldier in the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement.
"Eh? I seem to have found an empty city! "
