The cavalry vanguard suddenly separated from the middle and turned around, once again circling back to the two wings. As the cavalry gradually dispersed into the water divide, the soldiers in the middle revealed themselves.

On the other hand, the two winged cavalry soldiers that Xu Qingzhi had released were like two sharp blades that stabbed into the sides of Xu Qingzhi's troops. However, He Wu did not seem happy at all. It was all because of Xu Qingzhi and the other soldiers who were fighting with He Wu. Suddenly, they split up in the middle and attacked He Wu's two groups of riders. He naturally understood that the cavalry could not be held back by Bu Hui and had to move to kill the infantry. He immediately ordered the cavalry to retreat and on the other side, he commanded the centurions to split up and chase after Xu Qing.

However, at this time, the two squads of cavalrymen met with Xu Qingzhi's cavalry that had come around. This time, they were separated from Xu Qingzhi's centurions, forming a circle surrounding He Wu's two flanks of cavalrymen.

"So that's how it is … From the beginning to the end, you have been plotting against my cavalry. "

He had finally thought it through, but he was not discouraged. If it was an ordinary student facing such a situation right now, they would have long been in a panic, but he did not. He was very clear that even though he had fallen into a trap which had caused his cavalry to be surrounded, Xu Qing's soldiers were also being surrounded.

Now, he didn't need to command all the troops in the center anymore. He could no longer care about Xu Qingzhi attacking the soldiers on his left flank. He could only focus on killing the soldiers on his right flank.

In all honesty, he had no choice but to admire this calmness and method. But things had already come to this point and he no longer had the ability to change the direction of the battle. It could only depend on whether he should first eliminate He Wu's cavalry or whether he would be the first to strangle all the soldiers on his right side.

The result, however, exceeded everyone's expectations. Xu Qing had indeed managed to completely take down all of the Left Wing Cavalry, but not a single soldier from the right wing that Xu Qing had separated from was left behind. It was fortunate that Xu Qingzhi had killed off He Wu's left-wing cavalry before everyone else. He had commanded his troops to chase He Wu and beat him on the butt. Only then did the situation become even.

As of now, both of them only had about half of their strength left, while the riders and infantry soldiers each had half of their strength cut off.

If this had been a real battlefield, the two troops would have been able to regroup in the midst of the battle through their leader. But now, both sides had lost their formations and were engaged in a chaotic battle.

In the formation of the sand table, the enemies of both sides would be exchanged for each other, which meant that if one of the soldiers came into contact with the other side, they would be split into two halves, and if the cavalry soldiers were to fight, they would have to use their weapons to defeat the other side. Logically speaking, after this great battle, the two sides should not have been without a single difference in strength, but it wasn't necessary for Xu Qing and his group to make such a move.

As the smoke dispersed, the large sand table was now empty. In the center of the battlefield, there were only two small sand soldiers standing there.

Xu Qingzhi and He Wuzhi naturally understood the situation. Both of them smiled helplessly, each directing their last pawn towards the other. As a result, it was only a matter of time before they all vanished.

"This …"

Not to mention the students watching, even Chu Yinan was shocked. It wasn't like he hadn't seen a draw before, but that was an exam candidate who didn't know how to fight. The two sides charged at each other with everything they had.

But the situation between Xu Qingzhi and the other person was different. The two of them had clearly fought for several times, yet they had actually fought to a standstill under the rules of the sand table. Neither side had a single soldier on their side, which was strange.

"Clang!"

The referee was also startled by the outcome of the match. He was stunned for a moment before finally reacting and ringing the bell.

"This match, is as good as …"

"Stop!"

Just as the referee announced the outcome of the match, a voice was suddenly heard. He looked over in bewilderment and discovered that it was the green-clothed youth below the stage.

He could only bitterly smile and shake his head. At this moment, he and Xu Qingzhi had already walked to the center of the stage.

"This round is a loss for our students. In a real battlefield, the mounted soldiers would not be able to exchange their lives with Bu Dian under siege. Therefore, the student should have lost to the student in this match. "

In the beginning, he had no intention of arguing for himself, but now that He Wu had brought it up, he was somewhat curious, and then also somewhat impressed. Not only did he not need this ability to lead troops, he was even more honest with He Wu.

"Then, let's consider this game... Xu Qingzhi has won! "

The referee was not an incompetent person. He had picked Chu Huainan to be the general in charge of the military, so he was able to understand this relationship. However, this was after all, a sand table parade, and it had its own rules, so the referee did not mention it before.

The two of them left the arena. Naturally, the next group of students would come up, but everyone was shaken by the splendid fight between Xu Qing and Wu, and they were unable to calm down for a long time.

"Why would I not? Brother Qing, may I know which fighting master you are under?"

After the two of them left the arena, however, they did not return to their original seats. Instead, they found an empty seat next to theirs and began to converse with each other.

"I originally came from Clear Water Town — a countryside student. Teacher is just an ordinary teacher, but Teacher is very good."

Xu Qingzhi smiled. He was also very impressed by He Wu's ability.

"Brother Qing is a genius of the military. I believe he will become a general in the future."

"No, no. I'm just very fond of the formation of troops."

Anyone could imagine that in the future, their opponent, who would give them the most headache, would be talking passionately with him. Many years later, when Xu Qingzhi recalled this day, he would be inexplicably reminiscent of that beautiful and pure day.

"Haha, so he's actually addicted to the age of Changqing."

"Brother He Wu's words are too serious. How could you be so calm?" "Oh, that's right. The young man in the arena yesterday. Oh, that's Su Dingfang. He seems to be …"

Wu Wenwen sighed upon hearing this.

"To be honest, Ding Fang is indeed your foolish junior brother. Ding Fang was adopted by Master Fang of Han Mountain Temple at a very young age to be your last disciple, and learned archery from your family. "However, my body has suffered from a serious illness since I was young, and it was exactly the same symptoms as when I was possessed by the devil yesterday. I had originally thought that my illness had stabilized for the past few years, but who would have thought …"

At the end, he sighed again.

"That Junior Brother of mine has already been taken away by Han Mountain Temple's Reverend. He should be able to help us stabilize ourselves if nothing happens."
