Crossing the famine to find the white moonlight

Chapter 415 The Enemy's Powerful Attack

The air was thick with tension, and every second on the battlefield felt oppressive. Ye Wan stood high in the command post, her eyes fixed on the approaching enemy troops in the distance, her heartbeat seemingly in sync with the beat of the war drums. She knew this moment had finally arrived. The enemy would not give them a second break; the imperial army had already launched a new round of powerful attacks.

Ye Wan turned around and ordered the teams to enter combat mode: "All teams, immediately prepare for battle and ensure that the defense line is not breached!"

Her voice was steady and powerful, filled with an irresistible majesty. Under her command, every team member remained remarkably calm. Despite the unprecedented pressure of this battle and the scars covering their bodies, there was no fear in their eyes, only determination to forge ahead.

Just as Ye Wan issued the order, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the distant sky. It was the imperial army's artillery fire. The dense artillery fire pounded the defensive line set by Ye Wan's team, instantly sending smoke and dust billowing. The deafening explosions made the surrounding air thick and heavy. The earth seemed to tremble violently, and even the sky seemed to bow its head in repentance.

"The defense line is under attack!" Tang Yuan quickly ran to Ye Wan and reported anxiously, "The enemy has launched an attack from the southeast. The firepower is fierce and they may soon break through our front line!"

Ye Wan wasn't panicking at all. Instead, she analyzed the situation calmly: "Have the teams on the first line of defense adjust their formation and prepare to deal with the enemy's frontal attack. Continue to reinforce the second line of defense to ensure that the enemy can't easily penetrate!"

She paused, then quickly walked towards the distant platform and ordered the other core members, "Lead your teams to strengthen the flank defenses, especially on the south side, as the enemy's main force may break through from there!"

Tang Yuan nodded, turned, and led the team to the designated location. Ye Wan knew that the enemy's attack wasn't just a physical suppression, but also a powerful psychological offensive. Their goal was clear: to destroy Ye Wan's team's confidence in one fell swoop and, through heavy artillery fire, to open a breakthrough and directly attack the core position.

"Everyone, stand by and defend every inch of our position!" Ye Wan ordered loudly again.

Her voice was like a resounding clarion call, stirring the fighting spirit of the team members. Everyone knew that they were not only fighting for themselves, but also for their homeland and for each other.

The enemy's attack was fierce, beginning with an intense artillery barrage. Shells rained down like a torrential rain, shattering Ye Wan's team's defensive lines one by one. Sand and dust flew, smoke billowed, trenches collapsed, barbed wire ripped, and each line of defense appeared vulnerable to the enemy's artillery fire. The soldiers at the front fought desperately, many being knocked down by the artillery fire, falling to the dusty ground. But even so, they did not retreat, defending their positions with all their might.

"Second line of defense!" Ye Wan turned abruptly and shouted to the commanding team behind her, "Shift defense immediately! The enemy will press in from here, everyone, get ready!"

Every order was given decisively and clearly, without the slightest hesitation. Ye Wan's calmness and courage instilled in everyone else, and they began to methodically adjust their defenses under her command. Despite the intense artillery fire, their confidence remained unwavering.

"Fire!" Tang Yuan suddenly waved his hand from one side of the battlefield. With that command, the archers and musketeers hidden within the positions simultaneously rose and fired at the enemy's vanguard. The mixture of arrows and gunpowder smoke instantly disrupted the enemy's onslaught. The blasts of muskets, the whistling of arrows, and the roar of artillery fire intertwined to create a gruesome scene on the battlefield.

The enemy seemed to realize Ye Wan's team's exceptionally swift reaction speed and began to mobilize more troops to launch a full-scale attack on the defense line. However, Ye Wan remained calm, closely monitoring the situation and constantly adjusting her deployment: "Increase security on the flanks! Heavy troops will be in place immediately, increase firepower support!"

Under Ye Wan's command, every team and every member operated with the precision of an assembly line. Everyone knew that the enemy's attack was approaching at every moment, and everything they did was to buy time for Xie Linchuan's breakthrough and give the entire team a glimmer of hope.

Meanwhile, Xie Linchuan and his team were carrying out a breakthrough mission. Although Ye Wan knew that this defensive battle might be extremely brutal, she still believed that Xie Linchuan would be able to complete their breakthrough mission at the most critical moment.

"There won't be any retreat." Ye Wan whispered to her teammates, her eyes revealing a determination and resolve. "What we are defending today is not just our homeland, but also our future!"

When the enemy's second wave of attacks came like a tide, Ye Wan had already made her final preparations. From her position in front of the command post, she glanced around and suddenly said, "Prepare to meet the enemy's attack!"

With her command, the atmosphere on the battlefield grew even more tense. Members of Ye Wan's team drew their weapons and took their positions, their eyes gleaming like sharpened blades. No matter how fierce or oppressive the enemy, they would meet it head-on, never letting the enemy easily penetrate their defenses.

The enemy's advance became increasingly rapid, and the artillery fire was as dense as a storm. Many team members were injured and fell to the ground in the explosions. But every time the fallen team members were quickly replaced, the whole team was like a precision machine. Although there were gaps from time to time, they could not be defeated.

"Hold on! Hold on! Time is on our side!" Ye Wan's voice rang out again, sounding so firm and powerful on this smoke-filled battlefield.

She is tireless, and every trace of anxiety and uneasiness in her eyes is for the future of the team and for that glimmer of hope.
