Chapter 407 Xie Linchuan's Desperate Gamble
On the battlefield, the morning sun still failed to dispel the thick clouds of war. The air was thick with the stench of rust and sweat. Ye Wan's team had been locked in a daylong battle with the imperial army. Although they had successfully withstood the enemy's repeated attacks with their tenacious will and extraordinary tacit understanding, the team's defenses began to show serious weaknesses as the enemy's forces continued to pour in.
At this critical moment, Xie Linchuan suddenly realized that if they continued to fight like this, while they might hold out for a while, they would ultimately be overwhelmed by the enemy. A glint of determination flashed in his eyes. This battle could no longer be fought by conventional defensive tactics. He knew he had to make a desperate decision—to proactively attack, disrupt the enemy's formation, and force them into disarray. Only then would he have a chance to break free from this desperate situation.
Break into the enemy camp alone
Xie Linchuan found Ye Wan, and they reached a consensus in a brief conversation. Ye Wan understood that although this decision was extremely risky, if they didn't act now, they would be trapped in an inescapable deadlock. So, she promised Xie Linchuan that she would do her utmost to hold the position and buy him time. She knew that the success or failure of this action would directly determine whether they could survive this brutal battle.
Xie Linchuan didn't hesitate for long. Leading a small team of his most capable men, he quietly left the camp and quietly approached the enemy's position. Although the path was filled with unknowns and dangers, Xie Linchuan was not afraid. His eyes were burning as he stared at the enemy formation in the distance, with only one goal in mind: to disrupt the enemy's order and buy his teammates precious time.
As they infiltrated the enemy's rear, Xie Linchuan suddenly signaled his men to halt and carefully observe any gaps in the enemy's formation. By this point, the imperial army seemed to have gradually adapted to Ye Wan's team's defenses, and the pace of their attack had begun to stabilize. However, Xie Linchuan knew that this stability posed a significant danger; the enemy could launch a second, even more ferocious attack at any moment.
He took a deep breath and whispered to his team to split into two teams and attack from the front and back. The team quickly dispersed and began to quietly approach the enemy's supply line and command tent.
"Keep quiet. If you come into contact with the enemy, you must quickly resolve it." Xie Linchuan ordered in a low voice, his tone as cold as steel. He knew that every minute and every second of this moment was crucial for life and death.
surprise attack on enemy headquarters
Following the team's actions, Xie Linchuan and his core team members quietly infiltrated the enemy's headquarters. The enemy did not notice their arrival, seemingly too focused on the attack at hand. It was this moment of negligence that gave Xie Linchuan an opportunity.
"Get ready!" Xie Linchuan counted the time silently in his heart. He knew that as soon as it was about to happen, it would be the moment to fight with the enemy.
"Attack!" With a command, Xie Linchuan led his squad forward. Blades flashed as the team members quickly pounced on the enemy commander and supply troops. The enemy was caught off guard, and the command center was in chaos. Shrill shouts, the clash of weapons, and the stench of blood instantly filled the air.
Xie Linchuan, sword drawn, led his team to cut down the enemy and charged directly at the enemy commander. The enemy commander was terrified, having never expected to face such a fierce attack at such a tense moment. Xie Linchuan's blade was merciless, slashing at the enemy leader. Although the enemy fought hard, he was unable to withstand Xie Linchuan's sharp edge.
Almost instantly, the enemy's command center fell into utter chaos. Xie Linchuan's surprise attack had successfully disrupted the enemy's command system, bringing the imperial army's offensive rhythm to a sudden halt. Faced with the sudden attack, the enemy commander was almost unable to mount an effective response. Across the battlefield, the enemy's morale collapsed instantly, and the previously orderly formation began to disintegrate.
A moment that changes the tide of battle
As Xie Linchuan's elite squad successfully destroyed the enemy's command system, the imperial army's offensive came to a brief standstill. At this moment, the members of Ye Wan's team seemed to be injected with new strength, quickly adjusting their formation and launching a counterattack.
Tang Yuan led his team to charge the enemy fiercely, followed by Shen Hao and Liu Qianshan. Although the enemy still had a strong force, without command, the enemy was slow to react and could not organize an effective attack.
"Hold on! We must withstand the enemy's counterattack!" Ye Wan's voice reached the ears of every team member through the headset. She knew that this was a moment of life and death, and the position must be kept stable to buy more time for Xie Linchuan and the team.
Meanwhile, Han Lan, also at the command center, was bracing herself for a formidable battle. She precisely mobilized her team, ready to meet any enemy counterattack. "The enemy's formation is beginning to collapse. Increase the pressure!" Her voice was free of panic, instead filled with calmness and strength.
Xie Linchuan successfully completed the mission with his team. He and his team evacuated and returned to Ye Wan's defense line. Although they paid a huge price and many team members were injured, this desperate action successfully turned the tide of the battle and gave Ye Wan's team a chance to breathe.
Xie Linchuan's Injury and Unyielding Spirit
During the retreat, Xie Linchuan was unfortunately shot by an enemy arrow and was seriously injured. He barely maintained consciousness and returned to Ye Wan's position. Seeing Xie Linchuan's bloodstained clothes, Ye Wan's face changed and she hurried forward to check on his injuries.
"Xie Linchuan!" Ye Wan called his name nervously, her eyes filled with concern and anger. "Are you crazy? How can you risk your life!"
Xie Linchuan smiled calmly, a look of relief in his eyes: "If we don't do this, we will be crushed by the enemy sooner or later. As long as it can buy a glimmer of hope, it's worth it."
A complex emotion surged in Ye Wan's heart. She looked down at the dagger in her hand. Although Xie Linchuan's behavior made her worried, she knew that it was because of his determination and courage that Ye Wan's team still had the opportunity to continue fighting on this battlefield.
"Have a good rest, we'll still need you in the next battle." Ye Wan said silently, her tone firm, but also with a hint of reluctance.
Xie Linchuan nodded slightly and smiled: "Don't worry, I will never fall down easily."
In this life-or-death battle, Xie Linchuan's desperate gamble became a turning point for the entire team. His actions not only disrupted the enemy's rhythm, but also ignited new hope within Ye Wan's team. This battle may only be the beginning, but Xie Linchuan's courage and sacrifice will surely become the source of their ultimate victory over the enemy.
