After Marrying a Vegetative Princess, I Went Crazy With Joy!

Chapter 148:

The delighted neighing of the white dragon resonated throughout the battlefield. As Su Li descended, the white dragon had already positioned itself beneath him. Man and beast once again merged and moved towards Lu Dongzans location.

At this point, no one blocked Su Lis path. The soldiers of the central army had witnessed Su Lis charge through the Tubo front army. These soldiers, seasoned by years of warfare, could see how Su Li had completely devastated the 50,000-strong front army, leading to chaos and a collapse in morale.

Inwardly, they acknowledged that they wouldnt perform as well as those who had just been defeated if they were on the front lines. Everyone had a common realization, faced with this extraordinary opponent, what purpose did ordinary individuals like them serve?

With Lu Dongzans demise, the Tubo armys morale crumbled entirely. Even though their numbers still exceeded a hundred thousand, they felt their backbone had been shattered.

The only ones still attempting to resist were Lu Dongzans guards, but their attacks did not affect Su Li. Their weapons merely produced sparks, at best, incapable of causing any harm. In contrast, Su Lis casual counterattacks resulted in severed limbs.

More Tubo soldiers chose to flee, and panic spread throughout the army, starting from the central force and quickly spreading to both flanks. Surprisingly, the Tubo front army engaged in battle with the Tang army, had not yet grasped the situation following Su Lis departure.

At this critical moment, the several thousand troops led by Su Dingfang, who had been charging alongside Su Li, finally came into action. In a confrontation, both sides often competed in terms of morale. When morale was high, a leader like Xiang Yu, commanding thirty thousand soldiers, could scatter Liu Bangs army of five hundred and sixty thousand in a complete rout. However, without morale, an army of hundreds of thousands was no different from a pack of dogs.

Panicked dogs could run faster than humans and might even fight back when cornered. On the other hand, Routed armies were like frightened mice, simply running away. When they realized they couldnt escape, they would kneel and surrender, devoid of resistance.

At this stage of the battle, the outcome was already unsurprising. Su Dingfangs several thousand light cavalry rode out, chasing the fleeing Tubo soldiers like shepherds herding sheep across the mountains and valleys. Those who were caught mostly discarded their weapons and knelt to surrender. Occasionally, some resisted but were swiftly executed. Others had no chance to escape. Hundreds of light cavalry surrounded them, kneeling on the ground, and dropped their weapons.

Su Li dismounted, removed his helmet, and unfastened his armor. By this point, he was covered in sticky blood. When he looked down, his underclothes were soaked in crimson. Gently squeezing a corner of the cloth would reveal dark red bloodstains. Su Li possessed abilities far beyond human ones but wasnt a true immortal skilled in mystical arts. Blood splatter would naturally leave traces on him. As for the white dragon, it still retained some of its pure white fur after its armor was removed, albeit a bit messy.

How do you feel? Su Dingfangs voice came from behind. Su Dingfangs gaze held a myriad of emotions.

A year ago, he had visited the princesss palace to seek recognition of their kinship and to support his younger brother. He could never have imagined witnessing Su Li rise to such remarkable heights back then.

In this battle, Su Lis performance, in Su Dingfangs eyes, was flawless. While he had known beforehand that Su Lis martial skills were outstanding and his strength immense, having sparred with him several times without ever winning, even when Su Li held back, Su Dingfangs expectations for Su Lis military career had grown over time, especially after Li Er placed Su Li in the army and treated him as a treasure.

Today, he had finally witnessed the true extent of Su Lis strength. On the battlefield, Su Lis actions seemed as effortless as cutting melons and vegetables dispatching enemies like mowing grass. Only one person dared to charge against fifty thousand elite troops, and what was even more astonishing was that he had emerged victorious.

Su Lis fighting style, though seemingly straightforward, left no room for anyone to handle his second move, as Su Dingfang had experienced firsthand. Even the residual shockwaves of Su Lis attacks left lifeless bodies. The vast chasm in power felt like a mortal facing a deity. Su Dingfang had gained a profound understanding of Su Lis combat prowess, which likely surpassed the limits of his own comprehension.

As the elder brother, Su Dingfang inquired about Su Lis well-being but was more concerned about his mental state. Su Lis expression remained composed, even carrying a faint smile.

Dont worry, Im perfectly fine, Su Li assured him. After a moment, his gaze shifted to the distance, where countless Tubo soldiers lay prostrate on the ground. This was his first time taking lives, yet he felt no discomfort. Instead, the battles of the day left him exhilarated. He believed his strength should be used in such places. From the moment he prioritized increasing his strength and physical attributes, todays events were destined to occur.

Covered in blood, Su Li walked calmly to where Lu Dongzans lifeless body hung on his war spear. Lu Dongzans furious glare and unwillingness to accept his fate met with Su Lis light chuckle. He pulled out the war spear and tossed Lu Dongzans body aside like debris.

To be honest, in Su Lis eyes, neither Lu Dongzan nor Songtsan Gampo qualified as worthy opponents. Even if they could command the forces of a nation and control the lives of millions, they were still insignificant. Since Lu Dongzan ordered the slaughter of the Tang people, Su Li had no intention of letting him escape.

Compared to Lu Dongzan, the hundreds of thousands of Tubo soldiers before him were nothing. Su Lis gaze swept around, and countless Tubo individuals knelt on the ground, guarded by only a few Tang soldiers. None dared to make a move.

It was evident that Lu Dongzan had been considered an exceptional figure in Tubo. One hundred thousand soldiers had surrendered with his death, and no one could be considered a true warrior.

At this moment, an overwhelming aura radiated from Su Li, and he felt a profound sense of disdain for all existence. Su Dingfang, standing behind him, was similarly overwhelmed by this aura, leaving him speechless.

The General is invincible, unmatched throughout the ages! someone shouted, and instantly, cheers erupted. Tang soldiers wore expressions of excitement, shouting their admiration and reverence towards Su Li. Even Li Daozong, who had just arrived on horseback, saluted Su Li with a complex expression.

Before this battle, everyone knew Su Li was formidable, but no one truly comprehended the extent of his power. This battle gave them a crystal-clear understanding of Su Lis bravery. Unmatched throughout the ages!
