People in Aurora are determined to fight chaos

"The left wing has been breached!"

"Don't lose your composure! Move the halberd soldiers forward. We must hold off the enemy's advance!"

Niu Shao loudly commanded the front line that was on the verge of collapse.

Xiao Lan alone was difficult enough to deal with, and now there was also Lan Ze joining in the effort to break the formation. The Nongchang army's formation suffered a devastating blow almost instantly.

"Damn it, we can't stop them at all. If we continue like this, we'll be defeated..."

The formation was leaking everywhere and Niu Shao was unable to hold on alone. The situation was gradually getting out of control and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Just when he was briefly distracted, a figure suddenly broke through the formation, knocked away the many Jade Warriors guarding Niu Shao, and instantly came to his side.

"when?!"

Niu Shao widened his eyes and looked at Lan Ze with despair as he raised the sledgehammer in his hand.

boom--

"Urgent report! Urgent report!"

"General Fan Ming, Captain Niu... Captain Niu died in battle!"

"The front line...is defeated!"

The news of Niu Shao's death in battle was like a gust of icy cold wind that chilled everyone's limbs.

"General Fan Ming? What should we do?"

Everyone asked Fan Ming anxiously, and the latter gritted his teeth and stared towards the river mouth.

Niu Shao’s death caused the defense line to collapse directly. The Yu Yong soldiers were knocked to the ground by the swarming zombies and torn to pieces amid their wailing.

The discipline that the Nongchang Army was proud of disappeared due to the low morale, and some of the Yuyong soldiers had already begun to retreat.

"We have to stop them!"

Liu Li did not hesitate at all. He forced himself to stand up and planned to go to the river mouth to stop the tide of zombies.

They have been guarding the mouth of Tianhu River for four days. The reinforcements from the Donghe princes will reach Nongchang in two days. They must not fail at this moment, otherwise everything will be in vain.

When Liu Li passed by Fan Ming, a hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder.

"Liu Li..." Fan Ming's face was calm, but there was endless unwillingness in his eyes.

"Uncle Fan?" Liu Li looked up at Fan Ming on the horse. The latter pursed his lips and said nothing, which made Liu Li's heart skip a beat.

far away.

Xiao Lan and Lan Ze had already rushed into the second line of defense of the Nongchang Army, and defeated all the Yu Yong who were blocking them without any effort.

As if he understood something, Liu Li opened his mouth but could not say anything.

"Get ready to withdraw..." Fan Ming took a deep breath and raised his voice, "Nongchang Army! Immediately withdraw from the chaos and retreat to Nongchang in an orderly manner!"

When the news of the withdrawal came out, everyone showed an expression of disbelief.

"Did we lose..."

"is that a lie……"

"Is the Jade Blood Army so strong..."

"If we withdraw our troops now, won't Nongchang be in danger..."

"General Fan Ming! Please give the order to fight to the death!"

The agreed date is clearly approaching, how can anyone be willing to withdraw troops at this time?

Weren't they fighting desperately at the mouth of Tianhu River just to protect Nongchang from invasion?

"Listen to my orders!" Fan Ming shouted again, "Withdraw immediately! The Nongchang army should not be wiped out here. It is not too late to retreat to Nongchang and regroup!"

Yu Yong was unwilling to accept this, and so was Fan Ming.

But as the commander of an army, how could he completely ignore the lives of his soldiers?

Although it's one day longer than the worst case scenario, this is the best solution.

After rebirth, Xiao Lan will not give the two a second chance. It is so difficult to kill Xiao Lan again with a tired body. It is no different from hitting a rock with an egg.

Although they were unwilling in their hearts, the soldiers gradually understood Fan Ming's difficulties.

At this moment, continuing to hold on will indeed lead to death.

Liu Li gritted his teeth and growled, his tightly closed eyes trembling constantly.

Zu Ju's heart tightened when she saw this. She quickly walked to Liu Li's side, held his shoulders and said softly, "Young Master, you have done very well..."

"Liu Li, victory and defeat are common in the military..." Fan Ming said softly, "I'm sorry that you lost the first time, but the only thing we can do now is this... turn your inner unwillingness into motivation... believe that you can win again... this is the real undefeated person..."

"A general... is not someone who pursues personal bravery blindly... nor is he a slave to the so-called art of war..."

"When you lead an army... you must know... you are responsible for the lives of thousands of soldiers... you have to fight with their lives on your shoulders..."

"And the souls of those dead soldiers... they will stand behind you and watch over you... they will become your responsibility... and make you stronger..."

"Strong military power is only the icing on the cake for a general...but making the right choice at the right time...this is the essence of a general..."

Fan Ming's plain yet powerful words calmed the hearts of everyone present.

Lin Feiyu and Tao An were standing far away. They had just withdrawn from the front line and happened to hear Fan Ming's teachings to Liu Li.

These words are the insights that Fan Ming has gained over decades. It will take more time for these young boys and girls who are just starting out to comprehend them, which is why Fan Ming decided to withdraw his troops.

These young people should not have died here.

"The right choice?" Liu Li repeated this sentence with his eyes closed. Although he didn't quite understand what Fan Ming wanted to teach him, he seemed to vaguely feel something.

When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with determination.

Seeing this, Fan Ming smiled with relief and looked towards the battlefield at the river mouth.

Ba Hu and Ba Bao on the hills on both sides had already led the remaining troops to retreat and were heading towards Fan Ming's main camp.

The remaining Yuyong soldiers at the distant river mouth were still in the middle of a chaotic battle. If no one rescued them, they would most likely be wiped out.

Fan Ming took a deep breath and said, "Our formation moves forward! Let's go rescue our brothers!"

"Uncle Fan, I'll go with you." Liu Li said.

The three girls looked at each other and said in unison, "We'll go too."

"Okay!" Fan Ming did not refuse. He really needed the help of the four people.

"Bahu, Babao!"

"exist!"

"You two lead the remaining infantry and leave first, I will be there soon..." Fan Ming's tone was unquestionable.

Ba Hu and Ba Bao frowned when they saw it and said in a deep voice: "Yes!"

"Fei Yu, Tao An." Liu Li looked at the other two and said solemnly, "Take Fan Bin and go first, we will catch up with you later."

"Okay." Lin Feiyu and Tao An nodded and said, "Boss, and Sister Junxiu and Sister Manyu, you must be careful."

"Don't worry." Wei Junxiu and Lin Manyu nodded solemnly.

"I'll leave my son to your care..." Fan Ming bowed to everyone, then pulled the reins and turned the horse's head towards the river mouth.

Liu Li took a deep breath and rode on another warhorse brought by the soldiers.

"Soldiers! Follow me into battle!"

Fan Ming raised his hammer and roared, then galloped away on his horse.

Behind him were Liu Li, Zu Ju and their group.

Further behind them were six hundred Jade Warrior Lancers with determined eyes.
