Chapter 2331: Chapter 2328: Drill

The sound of hooves and the clash of battle were deafening.

"Charge!"

The two armies collided.

The previously tense atmosphere was instantly painted with the scent of blood.

"Ah, I’m injured."

"Oh my God, the soldiers in the middle have no way out. Those Beirong soldiers are so wicked, surrounding them and not stopping even when they’re wounded." Chu Qingyu and the other female family members turned pale with fear, both anxious and angry, with some even standing up in outrage at the Beirong soldiers’ treachery.

"Look quickly, our Great Chu soldiers are taking down the Beirong soldiers one by one. They can’t beat us once they’ve split up."

"Go, Great Chu soldiers! You are the best."

"So much blood..."

"Hurry, Imperial Physician, go tend to their injuries."

In the arena, the guards and the Imperial Physician dared not approach, and could only wait for the wounded soldiers to break through the siege and leave the competition field for treatment.

And those injured soldiers who couldn’t get out could only carry on with their injuries to fend off the enemy.

Screams and blood were everywhere.

Previously, the young masters and noble ladies who were able to comment now had reddened eyes, creating a rather mournful atmosphere.

And those civil officials who had just argued with the military general were somewhat embarrassed, unable to utter words like "ruffian soldiers" anymore.

The soldiers of both sides had long been fighting with bloodshot eyes; even those able to come out for treatment were unwilling to leave.

In the end, the ground was covered in blood, and every soldier was drenched in it.

Chu Heng and Hera had long lost count of how many moves they’d exchanged.

The number of their companions behind them was dwindling.

Until the last Beirong soldier fell.

Covered in blood, his fate unknown.

Chu Heng called to the three soldiers who could still hold on behind him: "Don’t move, leave it to me. Rest and regain your strength first."

"Yes!" The three soldiers nodded without hesitation.

At the same time, they tore strips of cloth from their clothes to bandage their wounds.

Chu Heng and Hera were at a stalemate.

But as time went on, it was clear that Hera’s momentum weakened.

Hetu’s face had already turned grim ever since all his soldiers fell.

But at least Hera was still standing.

Initially, he had not considered Chu Heng a threat.

But as Hera repeatedly failed to defeat Chu Heng, his anger surged, turning his face livid and revealing his true feelings.

Outside the arena, the military officials were somewhat quiet, until someone remarked, "Who would’ve thought Lord Chu was so formidable. If he were a military general, he’d surely excel, wouldn’t he?"

The other military generals said nothing, but evidently agreed with this statement.

Li Chongjin stared unblinkingly at the situation in the field, his hands tightly clenched within his sleeves, his emotions surging yet restrained.

He was also responsible for training cavalry in the Northern Region, but had never witnessed such impressive riding skills, even though he specifically chose a plain and set up many obstacles for training, including some tactics learned from Beirong. None matched the cavalry here in the capital.

Previously, he had been worried about the cavalry in the capital.

Though Lord Chu was impressive.

But having never been to war, no matter how strong these cavalrymen’s usual training, they could easily lose momentum on the battlefield.

Especially with someone like Hera, who was heartless and kills without mercy; even Li Chongjin lacked confidence in facing him.

Unexpectedly, the reality was much better than he had expected.

Lord Chu’s abilities were indeed remarkable, and the number of Northern Region commanders who could surpass him could probably be counted on one hand.

The cavalry in the capital was on par with the battle-hardened soldiers in the border region.
