"Two hundred million? You really dare to open your mouth like a lion!" Wang Xingba's eyelids rolled wildly.
Two hundred million can only be called "pocket money" to Chen Shen now.
Leaving aside the more than 40 billion gold in this young man's Space Mysterious Ring, the Tianqi Bao Pavilion alone can bring him 7 to 8 billion gold coins every month.
But Wang Xingba was different.
If he doesn't use family resources, it's hard to say whether he can even get 200 million gold coins on his own.
In fact, it’s not just him. Most of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries are worth more than a handful. It’s not that they can’t earn so much money, but that they can’t keep it after they earn it——
They had already spent that money and exchanged it for cultivation resources.
In fact, if it hadn't been for the war in the southern region of Daxia and the royal family's large-scale seizure of cash and Five Elements Spiritual Stones from various banks, Chen Shen's tens of billions of gold would not have been retained.
Money can only be called money when you spend it, and what you hold in your hands can only be called straw paper...
"Humph, I still don't believe it. You are a brat with no experience in commanding an army. How can you beat me in a military fight?"
After a brief pause, Wang Xingba beat his chest fiercely: "Okay! It's a deal!"
Then, he and Chen Shen looked at the King of Daxia together. The latter shook his head helplessly, but his eyes flashed with interest: "Okay, I will prepare your fighting soldiers and will personally fight them."
For the referee.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Shen and Wang Xingba both responded loudly.
"The war situation in Huainan is raging. You are just fighting, but I don't want to see any casualties." The King of Daxia spoke again: "In Yigu's opinion, let's just have a second-rate cavalry battle!"
To put it bluntly, the so-called "inferior" means that real weapons, spears, halberds, clubs, and even arrows are all forged from blue steel, unopened, and without sharp blades.
Casualties dropped to infinitely close to zero.
Cavalry battle is a type of battle: it is stipulated that both sides can only use cavalry to determine the outcome.
As soon as these words came out, the ministers suddenly realized: "It seems that His Majesty is very targeted for this drill."
"Isn't it true? Chen Shen wants to command the Cavalry Army, so Your Majesty will test his true ability with a cavalry battle."
"Hey, when it comes to the means of commanding cavalry, General Wang Xingba can definitely be among the top three. Chen Shen will definitely be defeated!"
"Well, the failure of that arrogant young man is inevitable. The difference is a disastrous defeat or a reluctant defeat?"
"If Chen Shen can persist under General Wang for a while longer, or if he can destroy more than 30% of the opponent's deployment before the whole army is defeated, then he has some ability. Even if it is hopeless to control the Knight Cavalry Army, he will still be able to do so in the future.
An opportunity to command an ordinary cavalry team."
"But if he loses too badly, I'm afraid there will be no chance for him to make a comeback from now on..."
The king of Daxia listened to the whispers of his ministers, and there was no trace of joy or anger on his face. He pressed his hands to signal the ministers to be quiet, and then said: "In this battle, Chen Shen will send out 20,000 brave cavalry. Wang Xing
Dominate 20,000 tiger cavalry troops."
"During the entire battle, everyone's cultivation must be at the level of a one-star profound practitioner, and no one can try to take advantage of others. If anyone on either side breaks this rule, they will be punished as disobeying military orders - kill without mercy!"
"The specific time for the battle... is set for tomorrow. I will give you two a day to prepare. Tomorrow at noon, we will have a showdown on the royal hunting ground!"
The two said in unison: "I obey the order!"
Then, Wang Xingba returned to the queue with a joking expression on his face: "You little boy, just wait for me to torture you to death tomorrow."
Chen Shenze did not retreat, still keeping his hands clasped in the posture of fists, and said: "Your Majesty, the general has one more thing to ask for. In addition to the blue steel spears and halberds equipped by the cavalry, the general also needs a blue steel spear and halberd for the knights.
Stone arrows.”
"That's right. If you and Wang Xingba have any special requests, you can put them forward and we will try our best to meet them."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Chen Shen bowed his hands and thanked him, he asked for an order to "leave early", saying that he wanted to meet with the 20,000 brave cavalrymen whom he had never met before. The King of Daxia nodded in agreement.
After the young man left, the generals in the palace started discussing again: "That boy made a big mistake when he first came up. Equipping the cavalry with arrows? Hahaha, he is kidding!"
"That's right! The cavalry is facing each other, and they will arrive in the blink of an eye. What's the use of arrows?"
"That's right. In a cavalry confrontation, Chen Shen's cavalry can only fire two or three volleys at most, knocking hundreds of people off their horses."
"But they themselves lost the advantage of the speed and mobility of the cavalry. When General Wang's cavalry comes close, how can they fight?"
"Furthermore, His Majesty has made it clear this time that everyone's cultivation must be controlled at the one-star realm of the Mysterious One. At this level, the advantage of the Xiaoqi Army's personal cultivation being slightly higher than that of the Tiger Army is gone..."
For a time, everyone in the civil and military dynasty, including the King of Daxia himself, did not think Chen Shen could win.
On the contrary, they felt that his behavior of equipping the cavalry with arrows was extremely stupid. Everyone was waiting for tomorrow noon to see how the arrogant and conceited kid would make a fool of himself!
Chen Shen, led by the great eunuch Li Zongming, went to the military camp belonging to the Qiaoqi Army and showed his identity and purpose of coming. Then the great eunuch retreated, leaving him alone to lecture the soldiers.
"You already know about my grandfather's death. Without further ado, I just ask: Are you willing to ride with me to the southern border to avenge the general?"
"I am willing! I am willing! I am willing..."
The response is overwhelming!
"Okay! One day, if the horse rides upon the Tai Kou, we must let the flag of our Chen Family Army be planted on the top of the Tai Kou Emperor's Temple!"
The young man's anger sank into his Dantian, and he secretly summoned up a hint of the howling melody of the Lion's Roar Skill, and shouted loudly: "But before that, we must first deal with Wang Xingba and his tiger army! Use a victory to prove ourselves!"
"The Tiger Army, the most capable cavalry force in Great Xia, is one of the three most elite cavalry units in Great Xia. It is as famous as the Valiant Cavalry Army. I would like to ask, are you afraid of them?"
"Afraid? Hahahaha..."
"Hahaha, are you afraid of his balls? In the past, General Chen led us to practice with the bastards of the Tiger Army, and we always won more than we lost."
"We win more and lose less because we are polite to them. If we fight ten times, the tiger army can only defeat us two or three times at most."
Most people are very optimistic.
But there are still some people who remain silent, with a hint of worry flashing in their eyes...
Optimists are mostly ordinary soldiers, corps commanders, commanders, and most centurions.
They belong to the "obedient class", and they will be beaten however they are told by their superiors. The main responsibility of these people is to obey the orders of superior commanders and move forward bravely.
But the few centurions and thousands of captains in the team were all silent.
The few brigade commanders and captains looked even more embarrassed.
They looked at Chen Shen and revealed three big words without hesitation: distrust.
