People in Aurora are determined to fight chaos

After Liu Li said this, everyone in the group had different expressions.

"Although we haven't graduated yet, we're almost there." Lin Feiyu frowned and said, "The opportunity to practice combat is hard to come by, and as a general, the sooner the better. I want to go!"

Lin Feiyu was the first to respond to Liu Li's call. Tao An pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Feiyu is right. Besides, Fan Bin's matter is also our business. I want to go too."

Both of them had simple ideas and were willing to help Fan Bin immediately.

"Good brothers." Fan Bin choked and looked at the two of them excitedly.

Liu Li chuckled, stood on tiptoe and patted Fan Bin on the shoulder: "Don't be so anxious next time, let's discuss everything."

"I understand." Fan Bin scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Don't forget us, we want to go too." Wei Junxiu took Lin Manyu's hand, and the latter smiled sweetly, easing everyone's tension.

"Aunt, what do you think?"

Liu Li did not forget to ask Zu Ju for her opinion.

Zu Ju frowned and thought for a few breaths, then looked at everyone present.

Compared to their immaturity two years ago, they now have a more dignified temperament.

Because of their excellent living conditions, the Zhendan people are generally tall, not to mention the sons of dignitaries like Lin Feiyu and Fan Bin, who basically inherited the good genes from their parents and will only become stronger after exercise.

During the few months of training with Liu Li, Fan Bin even had obvious signs of muscle growth.

"Two quasi-Haotian generals, two generals, an alchemist, a genius Si Tian Cheng, and a dragon-born Xiu Yan Qing..." Zhao Song touched his chin and laughed, "Your team is incredible..."

Hearing Zhao Song's praise, everyone was obviously embarrassed.

Zu Ju smiled after hearing this: "If we put aside your status as a student, your team will be very impressive no matter where you are. You are good at both offense and defense, and you have magic to assist you. You should not be underestimated."

Zu Ju's affirmation made everyone more confident.

Seeing this, Liu Li breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Grandma agrees?"

"Yes." Zu Ju responded and explained, "If it is a defensive battle, then you only need to defend against the attack. It is much easier than the Chilei battlefield. With your strength, as long as you are not surrounded, it will be difficult to die..."

"Even if we are surrounded, we still have magic to help us, so the danger can be greatly reduced!" Zhao Song continued, "Even if we leave you four aside, we still have Si Tiancheng and Xiu Yanqing, and even a Dan Ding Master who is proficient in alchemy. These are indispensable components for any army..."

"Since everyone has no objection..." Liu Li straightened his face, "In order to prevent the Yuxue Army from entering Nongchang, we will set off immediately!"

"it is good!"

"Let's go back to the city first. I'll take you to get weapons." Seeing that everyone was willing to go with him to find Fan Ming, Fan Bin was very happy and immediately took a group of people to the military camp in the city.

After a while.

A group of people rushed out of the military camp on armored horses and arrived at the crossing point in less than an hour.

This is one of the tributaries connecting Tianhu Lake to Shengjiang River.

Near Tongtian Bridge, the water flows gently and is only knee-deep, making it an ideal place to cross the river.

When the group arrived at the river mouth, the Nongchang army had already begun building defensive fortifications along the river.

"You guys?" Fan Ming frowned when he saw the fully armed people.

Liu Li and Fan Bin looked at each other, and the latter stepped forward and said in a shocking voice: "Father, I am already a qualified General Haotian, but I may not graduate yet. Please let me stay and help you."

"Uncle Fan, although we are not as strong as Fan Bin, we are capable of drawing the bow and shooting arrows." Lin Feiyu and Tao An bowed solemnly.

Wei Junxiu and Lin Manyu looked at each other and spoke one after another.

"Uncle Fan, Manyu has learned all of Si Tiancheng's spells. Now is the time to protect the people."

"As a Dragonborn Xiuyanqing, no matter when and where, I should lead the way, exorcise evil and protect the people."

Seeing this, Zu Ju also bowed to Fan Ming and said, "Although I am an alchemy master, I have also served as a military officer in the Weibei Army. If General Fan does not mind, I am willing to do my best."

Liu Li: "Me too."

When Fan Ming saw the high-spirited people, especially the stubbornness on Fan Bin's face, he was suddenly in a trance.

He used to be so high-spirited.

Zhao Song smiled faintly: "You can leave matters like reconnaissance to me."

Although Fan Ming may not be a qualified father, he is definitely a qualified general.

"Since it is your kindness, I will accept it shamelessly." Fan Ming laughed loudly and extended his hand to invite everyone, "With your help, this blocking battle will be easier to fight. Please step forward."

Everyone looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

The commander of Fan Ming's men had already made room for him, and everyone saw this and quickly gathered in front of the simple map.

"This is where we are." Fan Ming got into the state instantly. "The river valley here is surrounded by hills on both sides. It is narrow in the middle and wide on both sides. There are only two to three thousand people crossing the river at the same time. It is a perfect place to block. Ba Hu!"

"Here!" replied the supervisor of the sect named Ba Hu.

"You lead a thousand Jade Warrior crossbowmen to the hill on the right and set up a battle array. If the enemy enters the valley, you will look for an opportunity to shoot them from the side."

"Obey the order!"

"Babao!" Fan Ming called out another person's name, "You also lead a thousand Yuyong crossbowmen to the hill on the left and wait for an opportunity to shoot at the enemy from the side."

"Yes!"

The men who looked like Ba Hu left the table. They were obviously brothers.

Two thousand of the ten thousand troops were transferred away, and now there are still eight thousand available. Fan Ming fell into deep thought again.

There are also two thousand militiamen in his army. These are farmers temporarily recruited. Fan Ming does not intend to send the militia to fight on the front line unless it is necessary.

"This terrain..." Zu Ju had been observing the map, "If we can make use of it, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Oh?" Fan Ming narrowed his eyes, "General Zu, please speak."

"Please look." Zu Ju pointed to the river mouth. "The hills on both sides facing the river are too steep. If they want to climb up, it will only slow down their progress. So they can only try to break through the blockade head-on."

"Well, I plan to line up our formation against the mountain and use the cliffs on both sides as cover, so that we can concentrate on dealing with the enemies in front." Fan Ming nodded.

"No, it would be a waste if it were like that." Zu Ju shook her head.

"Why?"

"We can't block the river mouth, but we have to let the enemy in." Zu Ju moved his finger to the wide area after passing through the river valley, "Set up the formation a little bit back, use the half-moon formation to surround this place, so that we can attack the enemy from the front and back..."

Fan Ming groaned for a few seconds, and finally said loudly: "That's great!"
