Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

The setting sun, like blood, casts a shadow over the camp of Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan's army, illuminating the soldiers' exhausted yet resolute faces. They know that the ultimate showdown with the enemy's core team is about to begin, and the outcome of this battle will determine the fate of their country.

Xiao Yi, clad in black armor, stood tall and straight like a pine tree. His gaze was deep and resolute, fixed on the distant enemy. Li Lingyuan stood beside him, her long white dress swaying in the breeze. Despite her armor, she exuded a blend of gentleness and strength. She whispered, "Xiao Lang, this battle is incredibly difficult, but we have behind us countless people and this land that has weathered countless hardships. We have no way to retreat." Xiao Yi turned slightly and took her hand, feeling the strength she conveyed: "Lingyuan, we will live and die together, and we will never leave each other. In this battle, we must restore the land to its former glory."

The enemy's core troops lined up at the far end of the plain, their formation imposing and commanding. The heavy cavalry, clad in thick armor, resembled giants of steel, their lances gleaming in the sunlight, seemingly capable of piercing any obstacle. The infantry phalanx followed closely behind, their steps in unison, their shields like a wall and their spears a forest, forming an impenetrable defensive line. Behind them lay the enemy's mysterious special forces, clad in black, swift in movement and with a cold gaze. They excelled at launching sudden, unstoppable attacks amidst chaos.

Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan led their troops slowly forward. Their ranks were a mixed bag, with battle-hardened veterans and patriotic recruits; loyal imperial guards and volunteers from all over the land. But at this moment, they were united in purpose, united by a single conviction: to defend their country.

When the two armies were less than a hundred paces apart, the air seemed to freeze. Xiao Yi took a deep breath, raised his sword high, and shouted, "For our country, for our people, today's battle requires victory!" The soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky, and their soaring fighting spirit made the earth tremble.

The enemy launched the first attack, their heavy cavalry charging like a surging tide, the clatter of their hooves resounding like thunder across the sky. Xiao Yi calmly directed his archers to fire the first volley. Instantly, a hail of arrows descended upon the enemy cavalry like locusts. However, the heavy cavalry's armor was too thick, and most of the arrows were deflected. Only a few horses fell injured, but this did nothing to halt their charge.

"Pikemen, form a hedgehog formation!" Xiao Yi commanded, and the spearmen quickly thrust their spears diagonally into the ground, their tips pointed at the enemy cavalry. The soldiers in the back row rested their spears on the shoulders of the soldiers in the front row, forming a dense forest of spears. The heavy cavalry rushed to the front, attempting to break through the spear formation, but the spearmen gritted their teeth and held on. For a moment, men shouted, horses neighed, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Many cavalrymen were struck by spears and fell to their horses with screams, but their follow-up troops continued to surge, putting tremendous pressure on the spearmen.

Seeing this, Li Lingyuan led an elite cavalry unit to attack from the flank. She led the charge, her white figure flashing across the battlefield like a flash of lightning. Her sword swung, and wherever she struck, enemy cavalry fell. Like a sharp blade, her cavalry plunged into the enemy's charging formation, disrupting their formation.

However, the enemy's infantry formation quickly adjusted, closing in on Li Lingyuan's cavalry. Seeing the situation dire, Xiao Yi personally led a squadron of infantry to support them. He charged left and right through the enemy formation, his longsword whirling up and down, the enemy soldiers before him like ants. But the enemy was outnumbered, and they were gradually surrounded.

At this critical moment, Xiao Yi suddenly remembered the tactics he had learned in modern times. He shouted, "Circle formation, defend!" The soldiers quickly gathered together, forming a circular defensive formation, shields on the outside, spears on the inside. The enemy infantry surrounded the formation and launched continuous attacks, but they were all stubbornly repelled by the soldiers.

At the same time, the enemy's special forces began to move. Using their agility, they avoided the frontal battle and quietly approached the central army where Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan were stationed. They moved across the battlefield like ghosts, quickly approaching the circular formation.

Sensing danger, Xiao Yi left Li Lingyuan in command of the circular formation's defenses while he led a squad of personal guards to confront the enemy's specialized forces. A thrilling close combat ensued. The enemy's specialized forces employed unique weapons and employed peculiar tactics, leaving Xiao Yi and his men unable to withstand them. However, Xiao Yi, with his extensive combat experience and unwavering resolve, gradually managed to stabilize the situation.

On the battlefield, shouts and screams mingled, blood stained the ground, and corpses piled up like mountains. Both sides were locked in a bitter battle, the situation at a stalemate. Xiao Yi knew that this was not the way to go. He had to find the enemy's weaknesses to turn the tide.

As he fought, he observed the enemy's formation. Suddenly, he discovered that the enemy's command system was located behind the infantry phalanx, consisting of a group of flags and drummers. If he could destroy the enemy's command system, he would throw the enemy into chaos.

Xiao Yi had a plan in mind. He selected several soldiers who were good at martial arts and whispered to them, "You sneak around the enemy's rear and destroy their command system at all costs." Several soldiers took the order and left.

Taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield and the cover of gunpowder smoke, they carefully sneaked towards the enemy's rear. Along the way, they avoided enemy patrols and small groups, and finally approached the enemy's command system.

Just as they were about to launch their attack, they were spotted by an enemy general. The general led a group of soldiers towards them, and a fierce battle ensued. Although Xiao Yi's soldiers were fewer in number, they were all brave and fearless, fighting a desperate battle with the enemy.

On the front lines, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan continued to command their troops in combat. The enemy's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and the circular formation's defenses gradually began to weaken. Li Lingyuan, distraught, personally took up a spear and joined the defense. Her gaze was resolute, and the spear in her hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, repelling the enemy with every thrust.

After a hard fight, the soldiers sent by Xiao Yi finally succeeded in destroying the enemy's command system. The enemy's flags fell, the drums stopped, and the entire battlefield fell into chaos.

Xiao Yi seized this opportunity and shouted, "Counterattack!" Like tigers unleashed from their cages, the soldiers charged at the enemy. The enemy, bereft of command, fell into disarray and fled in all directions. Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan led their troops in pursuit, completely defeating the enemy.

This difficult battle against the enemy's core unit ultimately ended in victory for Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan. The soldiers cheered with joy, their cheers echoing across the battlefield like a hymn of victory. Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan embraced and cried, knowing full well that this victory was hard-won, earned with the lives and blood of countless soldiers.

This victory removed the biggest obstacle on the road to national restoration and brought a glimmer of hope to this war-torn land. Gazing into the distance, they were filled with longing and anticipation for a future of peace and prosperity, a future they would create together.
