Father, like son.

Zhang Wei's view was blocked by the shadow of the mace in front of him, and he was completely unaware of the hidden killing intent.

But Zhang Shuai, who was standing to the side, saw it clearly.

He disregarded all decorum and immediately spurred his horse to gallop towards his brother, eager to be the first to rescue him.

Before he could get close, another large mace behind Cheng Ye slammed heavily onto Zhang Wei's wrist.

"Snap!"

The mace struck with thunderous force, instantly breaking Zhang Wei's wrist.

The bone fragments pierced right through the flesh and were exposed!

Zhang Wei's face contorted in pain, and before he could even utter a scream, the large mace swept down from below.

"Snapped!"

"Snap!"

Using Cheng Ye's innate superhuman strength, the mace smashed Zhang Wei's jaw to pieces, and blood mixed with bone fragments splattered out.

Zhang Wei screamed and fell off his horse.

Seeing this, Zhang Shuai became extremely anxious and swung his knife at Cheng Ye.

Suddenly, Cheng Ye raised his foot, and a silver needle shot out from his boot, piercing through the air with a "whoosh".

Zhang Shuai quickly withdrew his strength to block the hidden weapon.

In that split second, Cheng Ye's mace struck like the scythe of death!

With a dull thud, it hit him squarely on the forehead.

"what!"

Zhang Shuai's brains splattered out, and he screamed as he fell off his horse.

It's obvious they won't survive.

Cheng Ye's successive killing of two generals sent a chill down the spines of the Daqian soldiers on the city wall.

This northern barbarian general is incredibly fierce!

On the other hand, the morale of the Northern Barbarian army was greatly boosted.

Cheers and shouts of protest rose and fell, reaching the top of the city wall.

"Shameless traitors! Two of them are attacking our General Cheng alone!"

"So what if they're shameless? They were still all killed by General Cheng, one by one!"

"General Cheng is truly awe-inspiring! Since you dare to fight two against one, what's wrong with us using concealed weapons?"

"You traitorous Han, if you have the guts, send another one to their death! Hahahaha!"

In the Northern Barbarian army formation, Bayan Mengke nodded slightly.

"Cheng Ye's martial arts skills have improved considerably since the last time I saw him fight."

"Barto, you've mastered the art of military command!"

Bayan Mengke had four generals under his command, one of whom was sent to Jiming City in the rear to guard the supply line.

The other three, Barto, Getu, and Buhe, were standing on either side of him.

Barto grinned from ear to ear and quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "General, you flatter me! Cheng Ye is a talented young man. He fought his way from Shuozhou to Youzhou, and his mace techniques have all been honed and improved in actual combat."

"The 'Meteor Shower' he used to kill that Han traitor, and the 'Returning Peak Breaking Waves' he used to kill the two men, were all hard-earned skills honed through real practice!"

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Bayan Mengke: "Cheng Ye's achievements today are ultimately due to the general's skillful leadership, which has enabled our army to be invincible!"

Upon hearing this, Getu, who was standing to the side, immediately showed a look of disgust.

Of the four generals, he had always been at odds with Barto, and he disliked Barto's obsequious and blatant demeanor the most.

Barto also disliked Getu's headstrong, foul-mouthed, and stubborn nature.

Ignoring the growing animosity between the two, Bayan Mengke laughed loudly, "Let's see what kind of people the Han people in the city can send to their deaths!"

The walls of Zhenyuan were deathly silent.

Cheng Ye fought two against one and killed two generals of the Daqian Dynasty in succession.

The Daqian army not only suffered heavy losses in combat power, but also lost face, putting them in a truly embarrassing situation.

King Li Yan of Qin, his eyes bloodshot with rage, demanded of his attendants, "Who is willing to go out of the city to meet the enemy and kill Cheng Ye?"

The Zhang brothers and Yu Zhen were all capable henchmen personally selected by him, but unexpectedly, they all perished at the gates of Zhenyuan City.

They deserve to die, but this is clearly a disgrace to Prince Qin, Li Yan!

The military officers on the city wall looked at each other, none of them daring to respond.

Cheng Ye is highly skilled in martial arts, and his strength is approaching that of a first-class general. If they were to fight one-on-one, he would most likely be killed.

Only a fool would go into battle knowing he would die.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Li Yan's anger intensified: "Our Great Qian Dynasty is full of talented people, yet we can't even defeat a mere Cheng Ye?"

Li Ping'an's forehead veins bulged as he listened, and he was about to volunteer to fight.

But just as he was about to speak, he saw Su Mo give him a look and gently shake her head, signaling him not to act impulsively.

Although Li Ping'an is a standout among the younger generation, Cheng Ye's strength is far beyond what he can match at this moment.

Within the entire Zhenyuan City, the only one who could consistently outmaneuver Cheng Ye was the garrison commander Zhang Liao.

However, Zhang Liao was poisoned by the Northern Barbarians' secret guards, and his physical condition is now extremely poor, making it impossible for him to fight.

Li Ping'an frowned, hesitant.

Just then, King Li Yan of Qin snorted coldly, his tone resolute: "Fine! Since no one dares to fight, then I will personally lead the charge!"

Li Yan was inherently proud and never admitted defeat.

Since no one can kill Cheng Ye, then he will take action himself!

"Your Highness, you mustn't!"

"Your Highness, please reconsider!"

Zhang Liao and Fang Hui spoke almost simultaneously, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them.

Li Yan pointed down at the city walls and retorted angrily, "Is it not allowed? Am I to just stand by and watch that barbarian general swagger around and spew vulgarities down below the city?"

Zhang Liao advised softly, "Your Highness, the Northern Barbarians' duel is intended to provoke our army. With Your Highness stationed in Zhenyuan City, they have no chance of conquering it. It would be better to temporarily avoid battle and hold the city; that would be the expedient measure."

"A stopgap measure?" Li Yan roared in anger. "General Zhang, are you trying to force me to admit defeat?"

Zhang Liao lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Your subject dares not, but..."

"That's enough!"

Li Yan flicked his sleeve, making a move to descend from the city wall and engage in battle.

Just then, Fang Hui quickly stepped forward and stopped him, a smile on his face: "Your Highness, please hear what I have to say!"

Li Yan stared at Fang Hui, his expression unfriendly: "Fang Hui, even you dare to stop me?!"

Fang Hui smiled slightly and said calmly, "Your Highness, please calm down. I am not trying to stop you, but rather to recommend a talented person to you."

"With such a person leading the charge, victory is assured. Why must Your Highness personally take action and risk your life?"

A hint of suspicion flashed in Li Yan's eyes as he asked, "Oh? Who is it?"

Fang Hui slowly turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the crowd on the city wall, finally landing on Lin Feng.

"This humble official recommends Lord Lin Feng, the commander of the Zhenyuan Army!"

"Lord Lin is known for his bravery and strength, and is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. With him leading the battle, how can we allow Cheng Ye to continue his arrogance?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Li Zhen of Jin smiled knowingly.

On the first day the Emperor arrived in Zhenyuan City, he taught Lin Feng a lesson.

Fang Hui's initiative to recommend Lin Feng to fight is clearly an attempt to use Cheng Ye to eliminate Lin Feng!

Zhang Liao and Su Mo's expressions changed simultaneously.

Zhang Liao hurriedly cupped his hands in apology, advising, "Lord Fang, Lin Feng is merely a minor commander with little experience. How can he be qualified to go out of the city to fight? Perhaps..."

Fang Hui's lips curled into a sneer, his tone laced with sarcasm: "General Zhang, you stop His Highness from going into battle, and you stop Lin Feng from going into battle too. Do you really want to force His Highness to personally go into battle and risk his life?"

Fang Hui was eloquent and witty, and with a single sentence, he silenced Zhang Liao.

He then winked at King Li Yan of Qin, signaling that he understood.

King Li Yan of Qin instantly understood Fang Hui's intention.

By using Cheng Ye to get rid of Lin Feng, he not only escaped the current predicament but also removed a thorn from his side.

It's the best of both worlds!

Li Yan's gaze swept across the room, and he said in a deep voice, "Very well! Lin Feng, I hereby order you to lead the army into battle!"

"If you can kill Cheng Ye, I will reward you handsomely!"

Raymond Lam was completely confused from beginning to end.

He had no choice but to accept the position without any room for refusal.

He slowly raised his head, meeting Qin King Li Yan's gaze: "Lin Feng, thank you, Your Highness Qin King, for granting me this opportunity. I will certainly fight with all my might!"

After speaking, Lin Feng turned around and walked quickly down the city wall under the complex gazes of the crowd.

Behind Prince Zhou, Li Ji, Liu Ruyan, dressed as a man, quietly tugged at his sleeve, her voice urgent: "Your Highness, could you say a word for him? Don't let him go to his death!"

Lin Feng has excellent skills in poetry and lyrics, and Liu Ruyan has always wanted to bring him back to the capital and make him the most popular lyricist in the capital.

She would be heartbroken if Lin Feng died on the battlefield.

Upon hearing this, Li Ji gently rebuked, "Lord Lin is fighting for the country, it is his duty, how can I, the king, stop him at will? Stop this nonsense!"

At the foot of Zhenyuan City, Cheng Ye was somewhat exhausted after cursing for a while.

He was unscrewing the kettle to drink water when he suddenly saw the city gate slowly open, and a man and a horse walked out.

It was a chestnut horse, with a young man sitting on its back, but his posture was very awkward, clearly indicating that he was not a skilled rider.

Even maintaining balance is somewhat difficult.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Ye immediately laughed, pointing at Lin Feng on horseback and loudly mocking, "Hahahaha! You traitors in the city, is this the kind of callow youth you've chosen to die?"

"He can't even ride a warhorse properly, yet he dares to come out and embarrass himself?"

Raymond Lam's poor riding skills are an old problem; he has hardly ever ridden a horse since he was a child.

Now that they've been forced into this situation, they naturally look quite pathetic.

This sight drew laughter from the northern barbarian soldiers, whose mocking voices filled the air.

"Exactly! You can't even ride a horse properly, you should go back to nursing!"

"The traitors of Han are truly helpless; they've sent such a useless piece of trash to his death!"

"General Cheng, kill him quickly! Don't let this useless piece of trash tarnish your weapon!"

……

Lin Feng managed to steady his horse, bowed slightly to Cheng Ye, and said loudly, "Lin Feng, a commander of a thousand men under General Zhang Liao, has come to ask General Cheng for a few pointers!"

Cheng Ye raised an eyebrow, his face full of disdain: "Boy, you, a mere commander, dare to challenge this general? Get back here!"

"Look at you, you can't even ride a horse properly. You're just asking to die and dirty my mace!"
