Crossing the famine to find the white moonlight

Chapter 405 The Beginning of a Life-and-Death Struggle

The atmosphere of the battle had completely shifted, from initial tension to the current utter intensity, as if the entire world were trembling. The air was thick with the scent of blood. The sound of crumbling armor, the dull thud of boots on the dirt, the crisp clink of swords against armor—all intertwined into a symphony of death. Ye Wan's gaze remained calm, but her heart was filled with intense tension—every command, every decision, was a matter of life and death.

Under her command, Ye Wan's team held their ground as the battle intensified. Their stubborn resistance didn't deter the enemy's offensive; instead, it intensified. The imperial army vastly outnumbered and outgunned them. Despite Ye Wan's team's resolute counterattacks, every effort seemed like a desperate attempt to delay an inevitable disaster.

Xie Linchuan's Charge

Xie Linchuan darted across the battlefield, swift and sharp. His swordsmanship was as swift as the wind, as quick as lightning, and every swing of his sword took the life of an enemy. Clad in iron armor, he stood firm on the front lines like an unshakable fortress, protecting the safety of every member of his team.

His sword flashed, and the imperial court's elite cavalry fell one after another. But even so, the enemy continued to surge in, like a tide. Each fallen enemy seemed to provide greater strength for the next wave of attack, and the enemy's morale continued to rise under the repeated attacks.

Yet, Xie Linchuan remained undeterred. His eyes gleamed with unspeakable determination. Even facing the overwhelming force of the imperial army's cavalry, he led his troops unwaveringly, each swing of his sword, each attacking move, as if carving a path for his teammates.

"Don't let them break through the defense line!" Xie Linchuan shouted loudly, with a commanding force in his voice.

He led his team to charge again and again, breaking through the enemy's lines and disrupting the enemy's original offensive rhythm. Although their physical strength and equipment were at their limit, they still tried their best and vowed to defend this position.

Ye Wan's precise command

Ye Wan remained firmly in command, a silent conductor, meticulously orchestrating every shift in the battlefield from behind. She knew that every decision she made would directly determine the outcome of the battle, and even the life and death of each team member.

She calmly watched the waves of attacks on the battlefield, already calculating the weaknesses of every defensive point. Unlike Xie Linchuan, she didn't personally charge into battle. Instead, she relied on her insight and overall control of the situation to arrange her team to launch the most lethal counterattack at the most opportune moment.

"The western flank's defenses are weak, send reinforcements!" Ye Wan's voice was like a needle, piercing through the clamor of battle. "Archers on the eastern flank, concentrate your attacks on the enemy archers and suppress their long-range firepower!"

She commanded the troops in an orderly manner, quickly mobilizing the troops in various positions and strategically deploying every inch of the battlefield to make it as strong as possible. However, she also knew that the enemy would not give up easily. The imperial army was far superior to them in terms of equipment and manpower, and defense alone could not completely defeat them.

Despite this, Ye Wan still did not retreat. In her heart, the purpose of fighting was not only to defend this land, but also to defend their beliefs and to defend their common home.

The cruelty and cost of battle

Despite Ye Wan's team's tenacious resistance, the imperial army continued to break through their defenses. Every successful defense was met with a more fierce attack. Every member of the battle line fought for their own survival, blood and sweat intertwined, pain and courage intertwined into the most brutal scene.

"Captain Xie, be careful!" A team member suddenly shouted when he saw Xie Linchuan being forced into a corner by an enemy heavy cavalryman.

Xie Linchuan turned around suddenly, and the tip of his sword slashed through the enemy's armor. However, the heavy cavalry's attack did not stop. The heavy force of his armor pressed Xie Linchuan so hard that he could hardly breathe.

At this moment, Ye Wan's voice came again: "Support team on the west side, reinforce Captain Xie immediately!"

Without hesitation, the team members on the west side immediately launched a counterattack to help Xie Linchuan escape. Xie Linchuan's eyes were as hard as steel. He knew that only a life-and-death struggle could turn the situation around.

"Keep moving forward, never retreat!" he shouted loudly, his voice full of contempt for death and desire for survival.

Ye Wan's command remained accurate, but her heart grew heavier. She knew that casualties were inevitable, especially when the enemy had such an overwhelming advantage.

"Everyone is fighting for their homeland," Ye Wan thought silently. "If we don't stand up, everyone will lose."

As the battle deepened, casualties on the battlefield became increasingly severe. Every member's face was filled with fatigue and pain, but their eyes still burned with the fire of indomitable will.

"We can't give up, no matter what." Ye Wan silently said in her heart, "Our homeland needs us, we can't let this land become the enemy's battlefield!"

Life and death

The battle entered its most intense moment. The enemy's attacks intensified, and Ye Wan's team was already struggling. Many members were nearing their limits, and casualties were mounting. Ye Wan personally went to the wounded, comforting them while urgently directing the rest of the team to continue defending their position.

"Everyone, hold on, hold on a little longer!" Ye Wan's voice was filled with an almost tangible determination.

However, the situation on the battlefield became increasingly severe, and the enemy's advance accelerated. Ye Wan knew that if he did not adjust his tactics at this time, he might be completely defeated.

"Prepare for a counterattack!" Ye Wan whispered, a sharp glint in her eyes. "We can't wait any longer, we must take the initiative!"

She knew that, despite the brutality of the battlefield, this was their only chance. Only by proactively counterattacking could they disrupt the enemy's offensive rhythm and gain more living space for their team members.

"Charge!" Ye Wan gave the order, and all the team members launched a counterattack almost at the same time. The atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became more tense, and all the soldiers rushed towards the enemy like crazy, no longer holding back any strength.

At this moment, life and death are no longer important. The only thing that matters is that their homes must be protected.
