Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 463, Section 482: The Battle of Liren Plain
After that, the Spark Resistance Front integrated with the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters and the rebel army. Starting from Tianlun City, dozens of surrounding cities quickly responded and fell one after another like dominoes.

The uprising spread like wildfire.

This matter quickly reached the headquarters of the Divine Order Alliance.

While munching on a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and letting out a foul-smelling fart, Yu Xiaogang roared angrily upon receiving the news: "How dare you! These damned lowly people! We are resisting the Spirit Hall on the front lines and protecting their homeland, yet they don't understand our plight and instead sabotage us from the rear!"

Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and said, "Alliance Leader Xiao Gang, the mob is calling themselves the 'Spark Resistance Front.' I'm afraid that Spark Academy might be behind them."

Yu Xiaogang nodded after hearing this and said, "The mob has appeared, so we can't just sit idly by. These are no ordinary lowly people. We must deal with them seriously. All the cities and all the lowly people who participated in the resistance must be killed. Let their blood fertilize the soil of the Liren Plain and build a mound of skulls. Only in this way can we deter these lowly people, make them fearful, make them afraid, and prevent them from following the Starfire Front to cause trouble."

Xue Qinghe stepped forward and said, "Alliance Leader, you may order Marshal Ge Hu to lead the army to the Lilun Plain to quell the rebellion."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said, "No, this battle is of great importance, so I, the leader of the alliance, will personally command it."

Yu Xiaogang valued this war highly because it was a battle to establish his prestige. He wanted to use this war to build his reputation and solidify his position within the alliance.

Not only that, but it also allows future generations, thousands of years from now, to remember him not only as the theoretical master Yu Xiaogang, the divine teacher Yu Xiaogang, and the divine emperor Yu Xiaogang, but also as the military god Yu Xiaogang, adding a small embellishment to his reputation.

“But, Alliance Leader, you are risking your life alone,” Dai Tianfeng said. He wanted to say: Gangzi, do you have any idea whether you have the ability to command an army? But after thinking about what kind of person Gangzi was, he could only gently advise Yu Xiaogang.

“No, my mind is made up, there’s no need to persuade me anymore,” Yu Xiaogang said stubbornly.

By this time, his buzz cut was already infuriating, so how could he possibly listen to anyone's advice?

After making the decision, Yu Xiaogang immediately mobilized his 100,000-strong Gang Family Army and the 500,000-strong army of the Heavenly Dou Empire, a total of 600,000 troops, and marched towards the Lilun Plain.

Left with no other option, Ning Fengzhi could only continue to have Gu Rong stay by Yu Xiaogang's side to ensure his safety.

Yu Xiaogang took good care of his own army. Every soldier in the Gang family army was fully armored, armed with sharp weapons, and carried the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, a divine weapon, on their backs. They carried the chimpanzee flag representing the alliance and the Gang family army's Gang character flag. The banners fluttered and stretched for dozens of kilometers, a magnificent sight.

The Heavenly Dou Empire's accompanying army consisted of elite troops drawn from various regions of the empire, and Yu Xiaogang was fully confident of victory in this war.

Their armies entered the Lilun Plain from four directions.

In the plains near Tianlun City on the Lilun Plain, they encountered their first battle against the resistance army.

The two sides lined up their positions in the Tianlun Plain and faced each other.

When the Divine Order Alliance saw the rebels, their expressions changed.

They also possess the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, a weapon unique to the Divine Order Alliance army.

"Damn it, it must be some damned spy who leaked the core secrets of our Divine Order Alliance," Yu Xiaogang said angrily. Then, he changed the subject and said, "However, it is clear that our army has a numerical advantage." Yu Xiaogang led an army of 20, while the resistance army only had 5 troops.

The war drums sounded, and both armies set up their crossbows and aimed to fire at each other.

A dense barrage of crossbow bolts rained down on the enemy, and the Divine Order Alliance forces fell in droves like wheat being harvested. But the situation was different for the resistance forces. A transparent blue barrier appeared on their position, blocking the crossbow bolts fired by the Alliance forces.

Yu Xiaogang and Gu Rong's silk umbrellas were positioned on the high ground of the battlefield, allowing them to overlook the entire battlefield.

"Could that be a soul tool?" Gu Rong stared intently at the front line. Behind the rebels, they had erected a series of sophisticated towers. The energy barriers that blocked the Zhuge Repeating Crossbows were from there. He said to Yu Xiaogang, "Alliance Leader, let me go and plunder one to take a look."

Yu Xiaogang said, "Go."

Gu Rong then used his ability to erode space to travel to the front of the position. He stood on a bone dragon, preparing to seize a soul-guided defense tower. However, when he came out of the space, his strong instincts made him smell a trace of death.

He quickly turned his head and looked in the direction that gave him the feeling. He saw a woman setting up a cannon and locking onto him. She was Su Qingqian, whose martial soul was the Emerald Swan, and she was a healing-type soul master.

"How could this be? Even a Title Douluo, a support-type Soul Master, shouldn't be able to bring me the feeling of death," Gu Rong thought in disbelief.

But the moment her cannon fired, the shell flew towards him. At the critical moment of life and death, Gu Rong trusted his intuition and hurriedly escaped back into the space.

But at the last moment before he fled, the soul-guided cannonball exploded around his body, severely injuring Gu Rong.

Gu Rong coughed up blood and fled back to the high ground, then looked at the battlefield at the front: "That is an offensive soul tool."

The generals of the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Gang Family Army immediately showed expressions of disbelief.

That shell was a declaration. Behind the resistance, the curtain was drawn back, revealing rows of fixed-mount soul-guided cannons exposed to the sunlight, radiating a cold light. The soul masters on the resistance front activated the soul-guided cannons, unleashing a barrage of fire on the Allied forces.

Soul-guided shells exploded like raindrops in the Allied positions.

Upon seeing this, Ge Hu hurriedly said to Yu Xiaogang, "Alliance Leader Xiaogang, please order a retreat. The enemy has mastered advanced technology that we have not yet mastered. We must retreat now, or it will be too late."

"Retreat? No, we absolutely cannot retreat!" Yu Xiaogang looked at the battlefield ahead. He wasn't unaware that the allied forces were in a disadvantageous position, but—

This is Yu Xiaogang's first battle as a military genius. He wants a resounding victory. If it ends in a crushing defeat, how will he establish his prestige in the alliance and make a name for himself in the future?

Yu Xiaogang, breathing rapidly and with bloodshot eyes, said, "So what if they have offensive soul tools that we don't have? They only have 50,000 men, while we have a full 200,000. Not only that, we also have the reserve force of Gray Beasts. We'll send all our troops and Gray Beasts to overwhelm them. As long as we deplete their soul-guided cannon shell reserves, we can achieve victory."
