Armed weapons have their advantages, but cold weapons also have enduring strengths; in chaotic battles, both can be used simultaneously.

"I'm going to go and confront that guy up close!" The gang's thugs grabbed their knives and charged into the chaotic battlefield.

"I'll cooperate with you!" The man with the gun took the high position and kept his eyes fixed on Ye Yongnian.

The chaotic situation and the numerical disadvantage put Ye Yongnian in a very bad position. Even though he was surrounded by many soldiers, they were all too busy to help themselves and were unable to protect their captain.

"Hmph, you're asking for death." The thug sneered as he approached.

Those who work as professional thugs in gangs are no less skilled than those trained in the military, because they always risk their lives and truly fight their way through countless people with their fists and knives.

The attacks, seemingly random, are all aimed at vital points; they're meant to take your life.

Ye Yongnian dodged the knife thrown by the thug and pointed his gun at him.

The opponent didn't dodge at all, and even continued to approach, just waiting for a chance to strike and kill.

The gunmen on higher ground were also ready.

Once they realized these people were wearing body armor, they stopped aiming their guns at their upper bodies. Now, the best options were only two: either a headshot or a shot to the thigh. If they were lucky enough to hit an artery, it would basically be a death sentence, merely giving them time to linger and directly weakening their combat effectiveness.

Ye Yongnian kept moving, making it impossible for the gunman to aim.

Just then, the assassin went all out. After dodging Ye Yongnian's gun, he grabbed Ye's gun-wielding hand with one hand and pulled out a dagger from somewhere with the other, its cold light flashing—

The blade plunged deep into Ye Yongnian's other arm, and blood spurted out.

To prevent his gun from being snatched, Ye Yongnian disregarded his arm injury and quickly retreated.

Just then, "Bang—"

The gunman shot Ye Yongnian in the thigh, and he fell straight backward.

"Leaf Cluster—"

The soldiers around him finally resolved their own troubles and were able to come and support Ye Yongnian, but it was too late. He had been stabbed in the arm and shot in the thigh, and lay on the ground in a sorry state, completely unable to move.

"Ye Tuan!"

Despite his immense pain, Ye Yongnian tried to stand up and take charge of the situation.

If the captain falls, it will be even more disadvantageous for them. All the soldiers on the field will be in chaos without a leader, and it will only be a matter of time before they are captured by the enemy.

"Has reinforcement arrived yet?"

The soldier looked at Ye Yongnian's bleeding leg and tried to press the wound down.

"Ye Tuan, you need to get to the medical station right away! If you keep bleeding like this, you'll die!"

Even if there were more blood, it wouldn't be enough to keep flowing like this.

But Ye Yongnian couldn't leave yet.

He looked back the way he came and realized that the reinforcements had not yet arrived. Judging by the time, it was impossible for them to arrive so soon. He had to hold on a little longer. He could only go to the medical point after the reinforcements arrived and handed the scene over to Qi Xinyuan. If he couldn't hold on until then, then... that might be his fate.

"No, help me up!" Ye Yongnian said, his voice weak but his spirit undiminished. "I must stay here. So many brothers haven't retreated, so I can't retreat either."

"But your injury—"

The soldiers were truly afraid that Ye Yongnian would die here, but perhaps Commander Ye was right. If reinforcements didn't arrive soon, not only Commander Ye, but perhaps all of them would perish here.

"Ye Tuan! Ye Tuan!"

Suddenly, a series of orderly footsteps rang out.

Thanks to Xie Ziai's messenger, Qi Xinyuan's team received the message even faster and arrived at the stronghold to provide support as quickly as possible.

"Team Leader Ye," Qi Xinyuan helped Ye Yongnian up, "Leave this to me, you go to the medical point quickly. I promise not to let a single criminal escape. The other two teams are on their way, don't worry!"

Ye Yongnian's hope was instantly rekindled, both for the war and for his own wounds.

"How did you get here so quickly?"

He was puzzled. Considering the time it took him to react, plus the time spent on the road, even if Qi Xinyuan reacted immediately, it was impossible for him to arrive so quickly. It was much faster than he had expected.

"It's Doctor Xie who came to report the news. Don't worry about the details, just go to the medical point first!" Qi Xinyuan handed the man over to several soldiers and told them to make sure Ye Tuan was taken to the medical point immediately.

"Yes! Commander Ye, let's go!"

Several soldiers lifted Ye Yongnian up and rushed back immediately.

After Xie Ziai and Xu Luxin exchanged messages, they returned to the medical point to prepare for the large-scale rescue efforts. Qiao Xinru continued to observe through binoculars.

"Here they come, here they come, stretcher and bed ready, hemostatic powder, instruments..." The three prepared and counted as they went.

Then, many wounded soldiers were sent back.

Fortunately, with the bulletproof vests, most of the wounded soldiers' injuries were not too critical. The three of them were busy and their feet were constantly on the ground, but the situation was still under control.

When Ye Yongnian was brought to the medical station, his face was deathly pale, indicating that he had lost too much blood.

"How could it be so serious?" Qiao Xinruo found it strange. With a bulletproof vest, it was impossible to be injured so badly.

"Ye Tuan was shot in the thigh, and the artery was damaged," the soldier explained.

"artery……"

Qiao Xinruo and the other two looked grim. Under the current conditions, their leg artery had been injured, and they had also lost a lot of blood during the transfer from the stronghold. Their situation was extremely dangerous.

Xie Ziai first sprinkled some hemostatic powder to control the bleeding from her arm and thigh. Fortunately, the hemostatic powder was of good quality and stopped the bleeding in time, preventing further loss of blood.

“Ye Tuan has stopped bleeding now, but he has lost too much blood. If he can’t be replenished in time, I’m afraid…” Xu Luxin frowned, knowing that what he was saying was a bit far-fetched. After all, where would there be a blood bank or blood packs under these conditions? How could a blood transfusion be achieved?

Qiao Xinruo is not someone who gives up easily. Even if the conditions at the scene are poor, she will do everything she can to achieve her goal of saving people.

"Commander Ye!" Qiao Xinruo shook Ye Yongnian's body vigorously to prevent him from falling into a deep sleep due to blood loss. "Commander Ye, Commander Ye! Are you still conscious? Commander Ye?!"

Ye Yongnian weakly opened his eyes, barely making a slit, and his lips were already turning bluish.

"Ye Tuan, do you remember what your blood type is?" Qiao Xinruo asked, leaning down to Ye Yongnian's lips to hear his voice clearly.

Although the voice was very weak, Qiao Xinruo still heard it: Ye Yongnian has type AB blood.

"Do any of the wounded soldiers on site remember their blood type? We need AB blood now, and Commander Ye must receive a transfusion immediately!" Qiao Xinru shouted.

There aren't enough blood donors here, and they're all wounded soldiers, so they shouldn't be donating blood at this time.
