Chapter 160: The Heart of the Storm

The battle within the city is fierce. Zhao's forces clash with Lin Yuer's loyalists in the narrow, winding streets, where every corner holds the potential for ambush. The sound of clashing swords and the cries of soldiers fill the air as the fight moves closer to the palace.

Lin Yuer has already positioned her guards around the palace, ensuring that any attack on her life will be thwarted. She stands at the center of her command, her mind clear and focused. She knows that the key to victory lies in breaking Zhao's morale.

As she watches the battle unfold, a sudden realization strikes her—Zhao's forces are not just fighting for power; they are fighting for survival. His soldiers are desperate, and that desperation makes them dangerous. But it also gives Lin Yuer an opportunity. She orders a strategic retreat, allowing her forces to lure Zhao's men into a trap.

Zhu Liang leads the charge, retreating into the heart of the city, baiting Zhao's soldiers to follow. The rebels take the bait, unaware that they are walking straight into an ambush. Lin Yuer's elite soldiers, stationed in hidden positions, spring into action. The battle shifts in an instant, as Zhao's forces are surrounded and outflanked.

At the heart of the chaos, Lin Yuer moves with precision, her command unwavering as she directs her forces. The city becomes a battlefield of tactical brilliance. Her army strikes with calculated force, while Zhao's soldiers grow increasingly disorganized, unsure of where to turn next.

Zhao, however, is not an easy opponent to defeat. The rebel leader himself emerges from the shadows, rallying his forces with a cry of defiance. Lin Yuer knows that the battle is far from over. If she is to secure her victory, she must face Zhao herself.
