I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Upon hearing Qin Li's words, the generals thought they had misheard.

Why give the other party a chance when you could easily overpower them by swarming them?

This is not Qin Li's usual style. Could it be that Qin Li has been possessed by that kid Su Chen?

"Your Highness, please reconsider!"

The generals clasped their hands in a fist salute and made their requests.

Qin Li ignored their requests and said only, "If you don't dare to go out and fight alone, I will have to find someone else. I think Prince Su, Centurion Su, is very suitable."

Su Chen looked over, completely surprised that Qin Li would agree to fight alone.

Although he didn't know why Qin Li agreed, Su Chen didn't have time to think about it too much or understand it clearly.

All he wanted now was to tear that arrogant Northern Mang general to pieces!

Anyone who dares to insult his sister Hongying, he'll kill them!

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will certainly not fail you!"

Su Chen clasped his hands in a fist salute and was about to step forward to challenge.

Watching Su Chen's retreating figure, the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty were still trying to persuade him, wishing they could kneel down and grab Qin Li's sleeves to make him retract his order.

If Su Chen loses and these Northern Barbarians escape, then no one will have anyone to blame but themselves.

Those are two living, breathing princes of Northern Mang, such a valuable bargaining chip! They are reluctant to let them go.

Looking at them, Qin Li frowned. "How could I, a prince, have such a bunch of blockheads as subordinates? Relying on you to defeat Northern Mang is impossible unless the sun rises in the west."

The crowd was puzzled, scratching their heads and looking at each other, not knowing what Qin Li meant.

How can they be so dense? They are generals chosen from among thousands.

"Still don't understand?"

Qin Li looked at them with disdain. "Seventh Brother, you explain to them."

Qin Feng was taken aback, then pointed to himself: "Me? Big brother, I..."

"What, you don't understand either?"

Sensing Qin Li's gaze, Qin Feng quickly clasped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will explain to them immediately."

Upon hearing this, the generals quickly stood up and surrounded Qin Feng, seeking an explanation, just like students eager for knowledge surrounding their teacher in a classroom.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng pointed to the battlefield from last night and asked, "What did you see?"

Following the direction Qin Feng was pointing, the generals replied, "Of course it's blood, and dead bodies, lots and lots of them."

Qin Feng then asked, "Did more of us die, or more of the Northern Barbarians?"

"Of course, we had more deaths."

Someone replied, "I don't know how this battle was fought last night. They were lying in ambush beforehand, yet it still turned out like this."

"If I were leading the troops, it certainly wouldn't be like this. There's a saying that goes, 'Women should stay at home, be good wives and mothers, and raise children. The battlefield is a man's domain.'"

As he said this, he deliberately glanced at Wei Hongying, who was standing to the side.

If someone were openly or covertly mocked and looked down upon, in the past, Wei Hongying would have already punched them, knocking out several teeth and leaving them crying for their parents and running away in fear.

But today, Wei Hongying didn't make a move; she remained standing still.

However, he was clearly very angry; his chest was heaving violently and his face was flushed.

Wei Hongying was furious!

She wasn't this angry even when the Northern Mang general made those outrageous remarks, saying he'd take her back as a bed warmer.

Despite her anger, Wei Hongying was helpless.

Because the results are right here, plain and simple.

Last night, under her leadership, the vanguard battalion won a victory, but it was a Pyrrhic one, with far more people dying than those from the Northern Barbarians.

She was too embarrassed to admit that she had commanded the battle last night.

This battle is destined to be a stain on her life!

"They laid an ambush beforehand, yet they still got beaten to this state. Is this really the fault of the Imperial Guard Captain and the Vanguard Battalion?"

Qin Feng looked at everyone and said, "This prince doesn't entirely agree. The military strength of Northern Mang has reached a level that we cannot match!"

"Otherwise, how could General Su, General Wei, General Li... these renowned generals of our Great Zhou have all perished at the hands of the Northern Barbarians?"

Upon hearing this, many people nodded in agreement. Even the general who had just mocked Wei Hongying frowned and thought about it, realizing that Qin Feng's words made sense.

It wasn't that Wei Hongying was a poor commander, but rather that the Northern Barbarians were too powerful!

"Seventh Prince, what does this have to do with the First Prince ordering Su Chen to fight one-on-one?" someone asked.

"Of course it's related!"

Qin Feng couldn't help but clasp his hands in a fist salute to Qin Li, flattering him, "Brother's vision is far beyond our reach!"

"Our army and the Northern Barbarians will inevitably clash. The Northern Barbarians are powerful and invincible. In a large-scale frontal battle, our Great Zhou has absolutely no chance of winning!"

"That's why my elder brother sent Su Chen to fight one-on-one, just to see if the path of one-on-one combat is viable."

"If this works, we'll use the two princes of Northern Mang as hostages and leverage them to get the Empress of Northern Mang to agree to send someone to fight us one-on-one and settle the score!"

After hearing Qin Feng's explanation, the generals were enlightened and suddenly understood!

So that's how it is, so that's how it is.

They were only thinking about the immediate situation: to outnumber the enemy and quickly capture this group of people, making sure the two Northern Mang princes didn't escape.

But Qin Li wasn't limited to the present; he had a long-term vision and was thinking about how to win the final battle.

"Your Highness's foresight is truly admirable!"

"This humble general is also..."

Having understood everything, the generals all flattered Qin Li.

Qin Li merely snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves.

But he didn't forget to glare fiercely at the general who had mocked Wei Hongying.

He, Qin Li, the villainous eldest prince, is very vengeful!

Today, Wei Hongying, the woman who dares to mock him.

One day, when he falls from power, they will dare to mock him and kick him when he's down!

People like that cannot be kept around!

Moreover, he observed that the general appeared to be a former subordinate of General Su, and was extremely loyal to the Su family.

Such people should not be kept around.

Suddenly glared at fiercely by Qin Li, the general exclaimed that he did not understand.

Isn't Wei Hongying the fiancée of the Seventh Prince Qin Feng? Didn't the First Prince always dislike the Seventh Prince?

His deliberate mockery of Wei Hongying was purely out of disgust for the Seventh Prince and an attempt to curry favor with the First Prince.

Why didn't the Seventh Prince react much, but the First Prince glared at him instead?

On the other side, Su Chen had already stepped forward, and with a clang, he slammed his halberd into the ground.

After giving his instructions, the Northern Barbarian general stepped forward, slinging his scimitar. "You all want to come at us together and kill us to avenge your brothers, so what's the meaning of sending you alone?"

"Do you think you can kill all of us by yourself?"

"Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!"

"Brothers, let's all charge in and chop this kid, who hasn't even grown his first beard, to pieces!"

"yes!"

At a single command, in addition to the thousands of troops, the other Northern Mang soldiers, led by their generals, would swarm forward and chop Su Chen to pieces.

"Wait a moment!"

Su Chen raised his hand and said, "We grant your request!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Northern Barbarian general who was charging forward almost tripped and fell on the flat ground.

He slammed on the brakes and simultaneously stretched out his hands to stop his men behind him.

"ask?"

The Northern Mang general frowned and asked, "What request?"

Su Chen said irritably, "Of course it's a one-on-one request. You fight me, and if you win you can leave. If you lose, you'll all stay and become our prisoners."

The Northern Barbarian general raised an eyebrow, completely taken aback.

After realizing what had happened, he couldn't help but raise his knife and laugh loudly, "Kid, you said it yourself, don't go back on your word if you lose!"

"You talk too much nonsense!"

Su Chen kicked the halberd to the side, gripped the halberd handle with both hands, and swung it down at the Northern Barbarian general...
