People in Aurora are determined to fight chaos

Chapter 144: Initial Show of Strength

"The situation is more serious than we could have imagined..."

"The armies of the Donghe lords rebelled on the spot, and under the instigation of the Gu Diao, they formed an alliance and attempted to get their hands on the Weidong provinces..."

"Liu Li, if you want to leave, you must hurry up!"

Zhao Song looked at Liu Li with burning eyes, but the latter turned his gaze to Yin Yin who had remained silent.

Yin Yin and Liu Li's eyes met. Yin Yin silently put down his teacup and said calmly, "Zheng Shi needs to stay in Fuzhou. I need a reliable deputy general for this trip. Do you have any ideas, nephew?"

"No problem." Liu Li nodded solemnly.

“Well then…” Yin Yin slowly stood up after hearing this, his eyes suddenly changed as he said, “The princes of Donghe have always disrespected the king, and there are good and bad people mixed together. This time, the Gu Diao has raised an army to cause chaos, which just gives me an excuse to punish them…”

"It's time for Lishan to return to the control of Weidong Province..."

Yinyin had long coveted the vast land of Lishan, but for hundreds of years he had not found a suitable opportunity to send troops south.

The Lin family has guarded Lizhu for generations and was appointed by Yulong himself. To some extent, they are the frontier officials of Zhendan and the face of the Zhendan court.

Now that Lin Peng is dead and the Lin family is in trouble, it is equivalent to directly touching the bottom line of the Zhendan court.

The era of turning a blind eye to the princes of Donghe is over. Yinyin has decided to send troops into Lishan to spread the mighty dragon power there.

"Get ready to go. I have already made arrangements at the academy in advance."

Yin Yin eliminated Liu Li's last bit of worry, but also made Liu Li feel more confused.

Liu Li asked curiously, "How did my aunt guess that I would agree?"

Yin Yin smiled sweetly upon hearing this, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Li.

"Of course it's because of this thing..." Yin Yin said in a strange tone, "I thought they were a talented man and a beautiful woman, and they were in love, but I didn't expect the other person's mind was so distracted. I don't know what the little girl from the Lin family would think after knowing this..."

Yin Yin's words were blunt, which made Liu Li cough awkwardly and Zu Ju blush.

“But…” Yin Yin changed the subject and said calmly, “This is not your shortcoming, my little nephew. If you treat everyone sincerely, it can also be regarded as your unique charm… After all, you dared to use your own blood to save Fuhua who almost turned into a monster. Such a bold move, even Yulong was almost convinced by you…”

"I'm just doing my best." Liu Li said nonchalantly.

Yin Yin pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes sparkling, and teased meaningfully: "Then try harder and do your best to give birth to more Dragonborn for the Weibei Army... With my sister's personality, although she appears to be strict and upright, she will not interfere too much in your private affairs... There is nothing wrong with adding a Si Tian Cheng after the Dan Ding Master..."

"Well, auntie, isn't it too early to bring up this topic?"

"Hmm? My little nephew, you didn't think about whether it was early or late when you took action..."

"..."

a few days later.

Dozens of miles outside Lizhu City.

The two armies engaged in a melee.

The army in the north was unstoppable. With an extremely swift figure, it broke through several formations of the allied forces of the princes and rushed to the front of the main formation of the vanguard army.

"Why does Weidong Province have such a powerful general?!"

"It's broken. We can't stop the opponent's attack at all!"

"Another line of defense has been breached!"

"The enemy is about to rush to our camp. Quickly get the halberd soldiers to move forward and stop him!!!"

boom--

Before the sweaty supervisor could finish his words, the soldiers in front of him flew up like broken stones.

"Ugh!"

"Help!"

There were continuous screams, as if they were panicking after encountering a ferocious beast.

"hateful……"

Looking at the terrifying figure before them like a mountain pressing down on their heads, everyone's face changed drastically and their legs trembled.

"Don't be distracted..."

Liu Li leaped up on his horse and flew over the heads of the swarming halberd soldiers. He flipped the halberd in his hand and swept it towards the sect commander, knocking him off his horse with one blow.

"Hurry up and save Captain Yu!"

When the nearby soldiers saw their commander fall from his horse, they quickly surrounded Liu Li.

Although trapped in the enemy's territory, Liu Li did not panic.

He snorted coldly, and swept the halberd with all his might, and several soldiers in front of him flew out like rags.

"If you want to die, keep coming!!!"

Liu Li roared, and invisible sound waves blew towards the fan-shaped area in front of him. Many soldiers' breathing stagnated, and they were frightened by Liu Li's roar and stood still.

【Intimidation】 is now in effect!!!

"do not be afraid!"

Yu Dan had already climbed up from the ground, and drew her weapon, ready to fight back. "We have the advantage in numbers, let's kill together..."

puff--

Yu Dan tried to boost morale, but everyone only saw a black shadow flash before their eyes, and then they saw a long spear piercing through Yu Dan's chest.

Liu Li rushed in front of him again at some point and killed him instantly without mercy.

[Kill the sect leader, our morale rises]

[Number of bonus draws +1]

"Your supervisor is dead!"

"Put down your weapons if you don't want to die!"

Liu Li lifted up Yu Dan's body with his halberd and combined it with the effect of [Intimidation] to instantly reduce the morale of hundreds of soldiers around him to zero.

[Yu Yong: The army’s morale collapses]

"Surrender and save your life!!!"

Liu Li killed the enemy's leader in the battle formation, allowing them to break through as fast as the wind, and soon surrounded the remnants of the soldiers who had lost all their will to fight.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking out, the soldiers of the Donghe princes immediately laid down their weapons and knelt down towards the army of Weidong Province.

"Sir Admiral! The enemy's center has been breached, and the army of the Donghe lords has been defeated!"

The news of the central army's great victory spread throughout the battlefield in an instant.

Yin Yin waved his hand and immediately ordered: "Don't chase! Let the cavalry in the center go around to the rear of the enemy's two wings and defeat them in one go!"

"Yes!"

The messenger quickly passed the order to Liu Li, who pulled the reins and roared, "Five hundred cavalrymen follow me to the right wing, and the rest go to the left wing!"

"Leader!"

At first, everyone was dissatisfied with Liu Li's sudden appointment to an important position by Yinyin, but Liu Li conquered them with his actions.

He defeated the enemy's central army on the first day of the battle. His bravery was far superior to that of an ordinary General Haotian.

Under the threat of the two cavalry units, the commanders of the left and right wings of the Donghe princes had to fight for their lives, abandoning thousands of soldiers who were still in the chaos and retreating quickly.

Seeing that they had been betrayed, the soldiers of the Donghe princes had no choice but to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Fuzhou army led by Yinyin.

[Battle ends, rating begins]

[Host personal rating: A]

[Rewards for advanced lottery draws +1]

The first battle was won.

The Fuzhou army was in high spirits.

Yinyin took advantage of the situation and advanced to the foot of Lizhu City in one breath. He stopped several miles away and began to prepare for tomorrow's siege.
