Chapter 1722 Grand Commander Challenge!
Chapter 1722
"I don't know, I just feel something is wrong."
Wang Chong lowered his head slightly, thinking.
In a word, Li Lin and Bai Siling's hearts trembled slightly, and they all looked over.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Li Lin was concerned.
"It's hard to say,...it just feels like everything is going too smoothly."
Wang Chong said calmly.
The rule of the second round of the competition is to select the strongest three from the six commanders of the imperial army to participate in the final. Under normal circumstances, Zhao Fengchen should have met the two eldest princes, but the real situation is The rules of the competition are very favorable to Zhao Fengchen, and Zhao Fengchen has not met any of the two strongest elder princes.
In general, the competition system of this round is not good for the East Palace side, which is completely opposite to the situation in the first round!
——Although in theory, this situation is completely normal.
"What the hell are you trying to do?"
Slowly, Wang Chong turned his head and looked at the eldest prince in the north of the school grounds, and Hou Junji beside him. The two looked at the center of the school field, as if they hadn't noticed Wang Chong at all.
At that moment, a deep haze passed between Wang Chong's brows.
Around the school grounds, the cheers were earth-shattering. This high-level contest opened the eyes of the students in the capital.
The second round of the competition was similar to Wang Chong's expectation. After Zhao Fengchen advanced, Duan Zhuyan and another member of the eldest prince both successfully advanced.
This Forbidden Army Contest has finally entered the final round, and it is also the most important Grand Commander Challenge.
"Great Commander!"
"Great Commander!"
...
Around the school field, the cheers were earth-shattering. With the arrival of the final round of competition, the atmosphere of the entire field became much more heated.
"The commander-in-chief is here!"
With a high-pitched voice, the eastern part of the arena was shaken, and three powerful breaths burst out, radiating from a distance.
Wang Chong's heart moved, and he turned his head to look, only to see the crowd parting like water waves, and the figures of three stalwarts were approaching the school ground surrounded by countless forbidden troops.
Now that the competition has reached the final stage, the three commanders finally arrived at the school field in person.
Although he had already heard about the names of the three great commanders, to be honest, apart from Li Xuanyi, Wang Chong had never seen any of them until now.
"plum!"
Far away, on the right side, a large golden flag was waving in the wind, with a huge Li character on it that was extremely eye-catching. Naturally, it was Li Xuanyi among the three great commanders. The flags of the Forbidden Army are usually the big flags representing their respective military branches, such as Mirage Dragon, Habayashi, and Yulin. Only the three commanders who can write their own names on the battle flags can enjoy this qualification.
Right under the battle flag, Wang Chong saw Li Xuanyi.
This is not the first time that Wang Chong has met him. Although the contact between Wang Chong and Li Xuanyi is far from that of Zhao Fengchen, the relationship between the two is quite harmonious. Until now, Li Xuanyi's favorite weapon , is still the "Abyss of Death" that Wang Chong refined in the early days.
Just seeing his face, Wang Chong's expression sank:
"He's really hurt!"
and a few years ago,
It was different when Wang Chong first met. The Grand Commander Li Xuanyi who appeared in front of Wang Chong again had a sallow complexion and looked extremely abnormal. Although he tried his best to maintain the majesty of the Grand Commander, Wang Chong still felt a deep feeling in his body. of weakness.
Powerhouses of Li Xuanyi's level seldom show such a sallow complexion like ordinary people.
Obviously, the injuries in his body were extremely serious.
"The situation is not good, Li Xuanyi's situation is more serious than imagined!"
Li Lin looked at the front and said.
Li Xuanyi has always been known for his loyalty and integrity. He has never interacted with the ministers of the court. Even when he bought Wang Chong's "Abyss of Death", he deliberately avoided it. Such an important minister was originally the most solid barrier to stop the First Prince, but judging from his weak appearance, it was obviously difficult to win in the next battle.
"Brother!"
At the same time, Bai Siling's exclamation came from Wang Chong's ear.
Wang Chong followed her gaze, and immediately saw beside Li Xuanyi, a twenty-eight or nine-year-old white-robed general standing on his horse. The appearance of thousands of miles away.
If he hadn't appeared next to Li Xuanyi, if it hadn't been on such an important occasion, few people would have believed that this man was one of the three highest-ranking commanders of the imperial guards in the entire Tang Dynasty!
Just looking at his aura at this time, he was slightly disturbed, and he was obviously injured, but it was not as serious as Li Xuanyi.
Obviously, it was Li Xuanyi and Bai Hanzhou who were attacked last night.
If the injured were Li Xuanyi and Bai Hanzhou, then the only one who was not injured was... Huang Tianzhao!
Wang Chong turned his gaze and looked in another direction.
Right next to Li Xuanyi and Bai Hanzhou, another figure was smiling, with his toes high and his breath like a tide, which was in stark contrast to the weakness of Li Xuanyi and Bai Hanzhou.
Wang Chong had never met Huang Tianzhao before, but the first time he saw him, Wang Chong immediately understood why Huang Tianzhao became the first prince's wooing target. His thin lips and piercing eyes always give people a critical and mean feeling.
"See Grand Commander!"
In the midst of a burst of loud voices, Zhao Fengchen, Duan Zhuyan, and all the generals of the Imperial Army around them lowered their heads, their eyes full of respect. In the Forbidden Army, the Grand Commander holds a very high status, and in the hearts of the Forbidden Army, these three people are all existences like the sun.
Even Huang Tianzhao, who is unstable and like grass on the wall, has an extremely amazing legend!
Although the new Grand Commander was chosen for this Forbidden Army Contest, at least until the final result came out, the three of them still deserved their names, the Grand Commander in the hearts of countless people.
In the eyes of everyone, the three commanders of the forbidden army came slowly on horseback.
"Meet the First Prince!"
Just tens of steps away from the First Prince, the three of them got off their horses and bowed in salute.
"Get up!"
The wind howled, and in the eyes of everyone, the First Prince slowly stepped forward, stood up and said.
"Father entrusted me with the administration of the empire. Naturally, this palace must work hard and work hard. Now is the time to reform and welcome the new. In the previous setting sun palace, hundreds of generals gathered and gathered without the order of the court. No way, these have already explained the problem!"
The entire school grounds were silent, everyone looked in the same direction and listened carefully. Since the Sunset Palace incident happened, this was the first time that the eldest prince mentioned this matter in public.
"snort!"
When Wang Chong heard these words, he stood in the crowd and sneered.
The truth of the Sunset Palace incident, except for some people who don't know the truth, Wang Chong knows it in his heart, and the First Prince also knows it in his heart. These words are just a pretext, and the real purpose is definitely not the case.
Sure enough, only the eldest prince's voice was heard in his ears and continued:
"It is precisely because of these long-standing disadvantages that major reforms are needed. This is the case with the army on the border. The imperial army is the emperor's guard and has the duty to protect the imperial city and the capital, so it should be even more so."
"You have also seen the results of the last inspection, and now I will give you another chance to prove yourself to everyone present, to all the forbidden soldiers, and to the people of the entire capital. If you win the competition, I believe that everyone will look at you with admiration!"
In the last inspection of the Forbidden Army, the First Prince used Zhao Fengchen and his Xuanwu Army as an excuse to launch an attack, accusing the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty for having no combat experience.
Although it is true that the Forbidden Army lacks actual combat, for many people, the truth is already self-evident.
"Follow the order!"
But upon hearing what the eldest prince said, Huang Tianzhao, Bai Hanzhou, and Li Xuanyi in the distance knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"Go!"
The eldest prince flicked his sleeves, and the next moment, the three commanders got on their horses one after another, turned around and left. Immediately afterwards, the dense sound of war drums sounded like raindrops, and each beat seemed to hit the hearts of everyone.
The autumn soldiers on the battlefield have finally come to the end, and it is also the most critical link. The ownership of the entire imperial army's 100,000 soldiers and horses, as well as the fate of the Tang Dynasty, will all be determined here.
The atmosphere in the school grounds was tense immediately. Everyone was nervously staring at the center of the school grounds, all of them extremely nervous.
Even Wang Chong, although he looked careless before, but at this time, his expression unconsciously became dignified.
"Then announce the rules of the game!"
In just a few moments, an eunuch in brocade clothes who seemed to be of high status walked into the middle of the school grounds with a golden scroll in his hand.
"The last *leadership challenge competition, the entry list is Zhao Fengchen, Duan Zhuyan, Lu Qiongqi, Bai Hanzhou, Li Xuanyi, Huang Tianzhao, a total of six people. The rules of the competition are the same as before. Once someone falls off the horse or gives up voluntarily, It is regarded as admitting defeat. In addition, as challengers, the three shortlisted commanders can designate a grand commander as their own opponents to initiate challenges."
"The competition system of this round is different from the previous ones. Each challenger has only one chance, and if he loses, he will be automatically eliminated. At the same time, only by defeating the Grand Commander can he replace the opponent's position. Now the competition begins!"
That sharp voice rang clearly in everyone's ears, and the whole school could hear it. After announcing the competition rules, the brocade eunuch also quickly turned around and left the school grounds.
Behind him, three commanders, and three commanders shortlisted for the challenge, each leading five hundred imperial troops, slowly moved towards the center of the school grounds.
"It's finally started!"
In the northern part of the school grounds, the eldest prince's robes fluttered, his temple hair fluttered, and he was in high spirits, completely different from before.
"Ghost King, I will leave the rest to you. I believe you will not disappoint me!"
At that moment, the eldest prince's eyes shone brightly, and a huge ambition grew wildly in his heart like weeds.
