The rebel army's foremost master craftsman forged a million iron pylons!

Li Tian was stunned for a moment, but he didn't take it seriously. So what if he was Zuo Shuai's nephew?

In the military, strength is paramount.

Don't be afraid!

Moreover, General Chen thinks highly of him, and if anything happens, General Chen will definitely back him up.

The struggle between the left and right armies has always existed. Now that he has chosen General Chen, he will naturally be willing to risk his life for General Chen.

"Brother Tie Niu, I've been assigned to a new camp and would like to go back there to check on things first," Li Tiandao said, without offering much of an opinion on the matter.

Tie Niu paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Alright, I have some things to attend to at my camp, so I'll head back first."

The two then parted ways.

Li Tian returned to his camp.

Upon seeing it, he was horrified.

Their original tents were brand-new cowhide tents, but now they were tattered sheepskin tents, covered in patches, and reeking of sheep urine.

The five soldiers assigned to his squad all lay on the ground, their faces bruised and swollen.

"What's going on?"

Li Tian quickened his pace and suddenly arrived outside the tent.

"Li Wuzhang, you're finally back!" Wu Laoliu struggled to his feet.

"What happened here?" Li Tian pointed to the tattered tent in front of him and asked again, "Where's our tent?"

"Sergeant Li, you've only been gone a short while, and a group of soldiers from the Fengzi Battalion have arrived..."

Li Tian learned the truth of the matter piecemeal from Wu Laoliu.

Not long after he left, a group of soldiers from the Fengzi Battalion arrived, saying that there was a rule in the military camp that new recruits' tents had to be exchanged with those of veteran soldiers.

Without saying a word, they threw a tattered tent at their feet and tried to steal the new tents that the military camp had issued to the new recruits.

Wu Laoliu and his group were naturally unwilling, so they fought with the veterans. However, the veterans were skilled in martial arts and easily knocked the new recruits to the ground with a few punches and kicks, and stole the newly issued tents.

Are there such rules in the military?

Li Tian wasn't quite sure.

However, recalling my past experiences reading novels, there were indeed instances of veterans bullying new recruits.

It would be inappropriate to trouble General Chen with such a trivial matter.

"You wait here, I'll go get our tents back."

As Li Tian spoke, he walked towards the camp of the Fengzi Camp.

Although Tie Niu said that the Fengzi Battalion was the most elite battalion in the entire Right Army.

But Li Tian was not afraid. He had a strong and vigorous physique and had also learned the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.

This hammering technique can be used not only for forging iron but also for knife techniques.

Li Tian was naturally not afraid.

Carrying his prepared broadsword, and after ascertaining the location of the 6th Division of the Fengzi Battalion that had stolen the tent, Li Tian headed directly towards the Fengzi Battalion.

"stop!"

As soon as Li Tian arrived at the entrance of Fengzi Camp, two veterans stopped him. One of them asked, "Who goes there and what brings you here?"

Li Tian clasped his hands slightly in a fist and said, "I am Li Tian, ​​the squad leader of the third squad of the sixth battalion. I heard that some brothers from your Fengzi Battalion stole our third squad's tent, so I have come to take it back!"

"Huh? Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, the two veterans exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly. One of them said...

"Oh, so that's what it was about. This is a rule in our rebel army, doesn't Corporal Li know that?"

"What rules?" Li Tian asked in a deep voice.

"Whoever has the bigger fist can take the other's weapon. Of course, this is just a rule among our soldiers. There is no explicit rule in the army."

"However, anyone who dares to report this to their superiors should be held accountable. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes; dying on the battlefield is a pointless death!"

"Swords have no eyes? Heh heh~ I think it's just a sneak attack from behind."

Upon hearing this, Li Tian instantly understood what the man meant: if anyone disobeyed this rule, they might be killed on the battlefield by their comrades.

Li Tian took a deep breath and said calmly, "Alright, let's follow the military rules. Do we have to defeat both of you before we can even enter this gate?"

"You think you can take me?" One of the soldiers looked Li Tian up and down, a deep contempt flashing in his eyes.

"My name is Zhao Tianlan. I have killed twenty-four imperial soldiers. You are just a new recruit sergeant. What makes you think you can fight me?"

Based on this alone,

Li Tian took off the broadsword he was carrying on his back and slammed it into the ground.

With a loud thud, a cloud of dust was kicked up.

The two veterans were dumbfounded when they saw the weapon in Li Tian's hand.

This weapon weighs at least twenty pounds.

Anyone who can wield such a weapon must be incredibly strong.

As a result, they became somewhat hesitant to take action.

"Who wants to go first?" Li Tian asked persistently.

"Pah! All show and no substance! I don't believe a country bumpkin who just joined the army has any ability to turn things around. I'll do it!"

The veteran on the right spat on the ground and took the ring-pommel sword from his waist.

He had just struck a pose.

Boom!

Li Tian casually swung the giant sword in his hand.

The old soldier's ring-pommel sword was knocked away.

Immediately afterwards, Li Tian swung the knife downwards, and with a hiss, a tear appeared in the man's leather armor, running from his neck all the way down to his navel, looking quite terrifying.

Li Tian clearly held back; any more and the man would have been disemboweled.

"what!"

A chilling killing intent rushed towards him, and the man's legs went weak, causing him to kneel down at Li Tian's feet with a thud, his eyes filled with fear.

Li Tian ignored him and pointed his broadsword at the old soldier on the left.

The veteran's expression changed, and he involuntarily took several steps back.

"Do we still want to compete?" Li Tian asked coldly.

"I..." The man's face turned purple.

Li Tian wielded such a heavy weapon with ease, and although he was suspected of launching a sneak attack, he was not entirely confident of victory.

"What happened? Who's causing trouble here?"

Just then, a loud shout came from behind Li Tian, ​​mixed with the sound of horses' hooves pounding the ground.

Li Tian turned his head and saw a young general in silver helmet and armor riding a brown horse, rushing towards them at breakneck speed.

A long silver spear hung from his horse's hook, looking quite imposing.

"Centurion Qin, you've arrived just in time! This man is trying to force his way into our Fengzi Camp!"

The veteran on the left saw this man as if he had seen a savior, and took a step forward.

Sigh~

The general immediately reined in his horse, dismounted, and sized Li Tian up. "Who are you? Why are you forcing your way into my Fengzi Camp?"

Li Tian glanced at the man's waist tag and saw that he was a centurion with a small "Qin" character on it.

Li Tian bowed and said, "Centurion Qin, I am Li Tian, ​​squad leader of the third squad of the sixth battalion of new recruits. Your men stole my men's tents today, and I have come here specifically to demand their return."

"So it was for such a trivial matter." The young general smiled slightly. "According to military regulations, you can have the tent, but you'll have to take it back on your own merit."

As he spoke, the man glanced at the old soldier lying on the ground, his expression changing slightly. "Who injured you?"

The veteran struggled to his feet and said with a look of shame, "Centurion Qin, I am incompetent and have lost to the new recruit. Please punish me, Centurion."

"Hmm? Interesting!" The centurion sneered, took a pair of hooks from his horse and handed them over. "It's alright, you can use this weapon to fight him again."

"This weapon of mine was crafted by a master; it can cut through iron like mud! Judging from your leather armor, I know you have the advantage of a superior weapon!"

"this……"

The veteran looked at the double hooks gleaming coldly in the general's hand, his expression hesitant.

When he fought Li Tian just now, he felt that Li Tian's strength was astonishing.

Can weapons bridge this gap?

Just then, Li Tian suddenly raised his broadsword and pointed it at the young general.

"If we're going to have a competition, then let's compete. If I win, you'd better give me back my tent!"
