The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 689 The Unspoken Understanding Between Comrades

Zhu Xiong Ying commanded his side's ferocious attacks, constantly breaking through the enemy's defenses.

At the same time, Lin Qiming launched an ambush from the flank.

Arrows rained down on the enemy's back, blocking all their escape routes.

Lin Qiming stood steadily on the high place, his gaze cold and stern, as if he were in control of everything.

Caught between these two attacks, the enemy was caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

Zhu Xiong Ying once again led his troops to approach the enemy's command center. His gaze was sharp as he stared directly at the enemy general, exuding an undeniable sense of oppression.

"We have nowhere to retreat."

The enemy general's voice was tinged with helplessness and despair. Finally, under immense pressure, he chose to retreat.

A brief but intense battle came to an end, and Zhu Xiong Ying and Lin Qi Ming quickly adjusted their troops to hold the position they had just captured.

Our road to victory has only just begun!

Zhu Xiong Ying looked at Lin Qi Ming, as if the two were of one mind.

"Yes, only by taking steady and solid steps can we ensure final victory."

The smoke of battle had not yet completely dissipated. Zhu Xiong Ying and Lin Qi Ming stood on the slightly bloody battlefield, their hearts filled with excitement but daring not to relax.

They all knew that even greater challenges awaited them ahead.

"We need to quickly consolidate our position,"

As Zhu Xiong Ying spoke, her gaze swept over the area they had just occupied.

This place has a strategic location, but it is also a weak point where the enemy might launch a counterattack.

Lin Qiming nodded, then said, "Yes, we can't give them any breathing room. We need to stabilize the supply lines completely first."

There was a hint of urgency in his voice.

They gathered their staff, and the makeshift tent was filled with tense discussions about the next steps.

The map was laid out on the ground, and every dot and line seemed crucial.

Zhu Xiong Ying looked at several experienced scouts and said, "We need detailed intelligence. Stay calm and proceed with caution."

His instructions were as clear and firm as the ice and snow of winter.

One of the scouts saluted, his eyes sharp, and said, "Rest assured, I will do my best."

Lin Qiming turned to the officer in charge of logistics, saying, "Make sure that every supply depot can support the needs of the front line. Any oversight could lead to the collapse of our entire operation."

The officer clasped his hands in acceptance of the order, then turned and hurriedly left.

The firelight illuminated the heated discussion, and Zhu Xiong Ying knew in her heart that this was not only a confrontation between enemies, but also a contest of wisdom and courage.

"Gentlemen, we also need to unite with the smaller neighboring countries to ensure a continuous supply and support."

Everyone nodded in agreement; only through careful consideration could they ensure victory.

That night, the wind howled and the firelight flickered inside and outside the camp.

Zhu Xiong Ying and Lin Qi Ming pondered the challenges they faced in their respective positions, and couldn't help but feel moved by the unspoken understanding between their comrades.

"Brother Lin, we only have one chance in the next battle, so we have to fight it well!"

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled slightly, with his unique determination and confidence.

Lin Qiming replied with a smile, "Get ready to give the enemy another shock. I'm looking forward to it!"

The night was as dark as ink, and the hazy moonlight spilled between the tents. Zhu Xiong Ying and Lin Qi Ming's figures gradually disappeared beside the extinguished fire.

Several scouts, carrying simple packs, stealthily slipped into the night under Zhu Xiong Ying's orders, like silent shadows gliding towards the enemy.

Zhu Xiong Ying returned to the strategy room, spread out the map, and solemnly examined each possible position. "We will launch an attack when they are caught off guard."

He locked onto a target on the map and pointed decisively, "The fastest way to attack is from here."

Lin Qiming nodded, quickly calculating the supply allocation plan in his mind. Every grain depot marked was an indispensable link. "I will ensure logistical supplies. If there are any problems, report to me immediately."

Subsequently, Zhu Xiong Ying began contacting neighboring small countries.

He spoke earnestly, analyzing the current interests and disadvantages of both sides.

After several rounds of intense negotiations, they all expressed their support and willingness to provide the urgently needed supplies.

"With their assistance, we can live without any worries."

Zhu Xiong Ying said with satisfaction, his face unable to hide the joy of victory.

Late at night, the scouts returned, their faces weary but their expressions resolute. "The enemy's defenses are somewhat lax, and the night sentries are being rotated frequently."

The intelligence was accurate, and an atmosphere of excitement instantly filled the strategic room.

Zhu Xiong Ying immediately convened a brief meeting to convey the plan: "We will launch a fierce attack before dawn and quickly break through their defenses."

Lin Qiming had quickly taken his position in front of the communication equipment, coordinating the positions and cooperation of various units, and issuing orders smoothly and efficiently.

"Attention vanguard, proceed according to plan."

He relayed every message through communications, never daring to slack off in the slightest.

As the first rays of dawn pierced the sky, Zhu Xiong Ying's vanguard troops pressed forward across the entire front. He raised his sword high, his eyes blazing, and his command echoed across the field: "All troops, attack!"

The battle, like a wildfire, began immediately.

The soldiers surged towards the enemy positions like a raging torrent, throwing the enemy into a panic and catching them off guard.

After a brief but fierce battle, a gap was torn in the enemy's lines, and the dawn of victory illuminated the entire battlefield.

Even though the smoke of battle had not yet dissipated after the war ended, everyone could feel the intense sense of victory and unity.

On the morning after the battle, the camp was filled with the lingering smell of gunpowder, but the joy of victory inspired everyone.

Zhu Xiong Ying stood on high ground, overlooking the battlefield they had just conquered. The sunlight made the sweat on his face glitter like gold.

He quickly calmed down, turned to Lin Qiming beside him, and arranged the follow-up work.

"Lin Qiming, we need to treat the wounded as soon as possible. Although the war is short, we cannot afford to be negligent."

"Understood, I'll arrange it right away."

While recording the number of wounded, Lin Qiming planned how to orderly place them in the safest area.

From the hasty war to the orderly resettlement, Lin Qiming's confidence never waned.

Zhu Xiong Ying then summoned his generals to take overall control of the situation.

"Brothers, we need to build strong defensive fortifications before the enemy can react."

This land is our new beginning, and we must not lose it easily.

The scouts returned, quickly gathered their information, and hurriedly reported to Zhu Xiong Ying: "The enemy is making movement; they seem to be planning a counterattack. We've intercepted some signals."

Zhu Xiong Ying frowned slightly, but her eyes remained resolute.

"In that case, we need to speed things up."

He made a swift decision to reorganize the troops and strengthen the defenses, while calmly listening to the opinions of various departments to ensure that every decision was made steadily and without error.

Inside the camp, a tense yet celebratory atmosphere coexisted.

In the makeshift command tent, Zhu Xiong Ying engaged in in-depth dialogues with representatives from various small countries.

He smiled and said to his allies, "Thank you all for your help. We will all benefit from the fruits of victory, and our cooperation will be even closer in the future."

Representatives from the smaller countries nodded in agreement, expressing their support.

After a brief exchange of words, the victory celebration continued amidst cheers, but everyone knew in their hearts that this was just one part of a battle.

But the real challenge may have only just begun.
