The smoke of war lingered over the border, like a heavy gloom constantly shrouding the lands of Rong and Mu. After their first experience fighting side by side, Lin Wan'er and Xiao Yichen knew that the hardship and protracted nature of this war had only just begun.

After a fierce battle, both sides suffered considerable casualties, and the armies were exhausted and in dire need of rest. In the Rong Kingdom's camp, soldiers silently cleaned their weapons and treated their wounds, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive. Lin Wan'er and Xiao Yichen stood before their tent, gazing at the distant, undulating mountains, their minds filled with countless thoughts.

"The Mu Kingdom's attack is becoming increasingly fierce. They seem to have come prepared and are determined to achieve their goal." Xiao Yichen frowned, a hint of worry in his eyes. He knew that the Mu Kingdom's ambitions were not limited to a few border cities; they intended to completely conquer the Rong Kingdom and expand their territory.

Lin Wan'er gently grasped Xiao Yichen's hand, offering him a sense of comfort: "Yichen, there's no need to worry too much. We are also constantly growing. After this period of actual combat, the soldiers have gained more combat experience. As long as we unite, we will definitely find a solution." Her gaze was firm and confident, and the free and decisive spirit she possessed from the martial world was fully displayed in her.

During their rest period, Xiao Yichen did not slack off in the slightest. He studied military texts day and night, combining them with the actual situation on the battlefield to conceive new strategies and tactics. Lin Wan'er, on the other hand, took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of caring for the wounded. She used the medical skills she had learned in the martial arts world to treat the soldiers' injuries and illnesses. Her gentleness and meticulousness made the soldiers feel the care of family, and their morale was boosted.

"Miss Lin, thanks to your meticulous care, my injuries have healed so quickly. Once I'm fully recovered, I'll definitely kill a few more Mu devils on the battlefield!" a young soldier said gratefully to Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er smiled and replied, "Take good care of your injuries. You'll need to contribute on the battlefield."

However, the brutality of the war did not lessen with the brief respite. The Mu Kingdom soon launched a new offensive. They changed their tactics, adopting a flanking maneuver to try and annihilate the Rong Kingdom's army in one fell swoop.

Xiao Yichen reacted swiftly, calmly directing his soldiers to adjust their formation and meet the enemy. Lin Wan'er, meanwhile, led a light cavalry unit, charging like a whirlwind towards the flank of the Mu Kingdom's army, disrupting their encirclement plan.

On the battlefield, the shouts of battle shook the heavens and the earth. Xiao Yichen led the charge, his spear gleaming brightly in the sunlight, each thrust carrying boundless power and determination. He charged left and right through the enemy ranks as if they were nothing, and wherever he went, enemies fell one after another.

Lin Wan'er's light cavalry also played a crucial role. Their speed and mobility created immense chaos on the flanks of the Mu army. Lin Wan'er's sword flashed up and down, like a nimble dragon, reaping the lives of her enemies.

"Kill! For the glory of Rong Kingdom!" Lin Wan'er shouted loudly, her clear and loud voice echoing across the battlefield, inspiring the soldiers' fighting spirit.

In the fierce battle, Lin Wan'er and Xiao Yichen once again demonstrated their remarkable teamwork. When Xiao Yichen's main force encountered strong resistance from the elite troops of the Mu Kingdom, Lin Wan'er timely led her light cavalry to flank them, breaking the formation of the Mu Kingdom's elite forces and creating an opportunity for Xiao Yichen to break through. And when Lin Wan'er was surrounded by the Mu Kingdom's army, Xiao Yichen did not hesitate to lead his troops back to her aid, successfully rescuing her.

After a thrilling battle, the Rong army once again managed to repel the Mu army's attack. However, this battle also came at a heavy cost to both sides. The Rong army suffered a significant reduction in manpower and exhausted its supplies; the Mu army also suffered heavy casualties and its morale was low.

At the post-war debriefing meeting, Xiao Yichen said with a solemn expression, "This cannot go on. We must take the initiative, find the weaknesses of the Mu Kingdom, and break this stalemate."

Lin Wan'er nodded in agreement: "I discovered in the previous battles that the Mu Kingdom's rear supply lines seem to be relatively weak. If we can cut off their supply lines, we might be able to turn the tide of the battle."

Xiao Yichen pondered for a moment and said, "Although this plan is risky, it is worth a try. However, it requires an elite force to penetrate deep behind enemy lines, and the mission is arduous and fraught with danger."

Lin Wan'er stood up without hesitation: "I am willing to lead the team. I am familiar with the art of concealment in the martial arts world and can lead the troops to avoid enemy detection and successfully complete the mission."

Looking into her resolute eyes, Xiao Yichen felt both admiration and worry. He knew that once Lin Wan'er made up her mind, it was difficult to change it. But he also understood that this task was best suited for her.

"Wan'er, you must be careful. I will draw the attention of the Mu Kingdom's army ahead to buy you time," Xiao Yichen said, holding Lin Wan'er's hand tightly.

On a dark and windy night, Lin Wan'er led a small squad of elite soldiers, quietly leaving the Rong Kingdom's camp and heading towards the rear of the Mu Kingdom. Dressed in black night clothes, they moved like ghosts through the mountains and forests under the cover of darkness.

Along the way, they carefully avoided the patrols of the Mu Kingdom, advancing towards their target. Relying on her keen intuition and rich experience in the martial world, Lin Wan'er led her small team successfully through numerous obstacles.

Finally, they reached the Mu Kingdom's supply line. Lin Wan'er directed her soldiers to quickly launch an operation. They destroyed the Mu Kingdom's grain warehouses, burned the vehicles transporting supplies, and cut off the Mu Kingdom's army's supply line.

Chaos erupted in the rear of the Mu Kingdom's army, and the soldiers at the front lines were thrown into disarray upon learning that their supply lines had been cut. Xiao Yichen seized this opportunity and led the Rong Kingdom's army in a full-scale offensive.

Caught in a pincer attack, the Mu army suffered a crushing defeat. The Rong army achieved a decisive victory, recovering vast swathes of lost territory.

The victory brought jubilation throughout Rong Kingdom, but Lin Wan'er and Xiao Yichen were not blinded by it. They knew that Mu Kingdom had only been temporarily defeated, and the future of the war remained uncertain.

During lulls in the war, Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er began to reorganize the army, replenish its ranks, and intensify its training. They also actively engaged in diplomatic activities with neighboring countries, seeking the support of allies to jointly counter the threat from the Mu Kingdom.

At the same time, they did not forget the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the war. Lin Wan'er proposed building a martyrs' cemetery on the border to commemorate the heroes who bravely sacrificed themselves to defend Rong Kingdom. Xiao Yichen strongly supported this proposal, and they personally participated in the planning and construction of the martyrs' cemetery.

At the inauguration ceremony of the martyrs' cemetery, Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er stood before the martyrs' tombstones and silently offered flowers. Xiao Yichen solemnly said, "Brothers, your sacrifices will not be in vain. We will continue to protect Rong Kingdom and ensure that this land will forever be peaceful and prosperous."

Tears welled in Lin Wan'er's eyes as she softly said, "May the departed rest in peace, and may the living be strong. We will carry on your beliefs and fight to the very end."

As time passed, Rong Kingdom gradually recovered its strength thanks to the efforts of Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er. The army's combat effectiveness was further enhanced, and the domestic economy began to recover. However, they remained vigilant and closely monitored the movements of Mu Kingdom.

By chance, Lin Wan'er learned that the Mu Kingdom was secretly training a special force. This force was well-equipped, highly trained, and said to possess formidable combat capabilities. She immediately informed Xiao Yichen of this news.

Xiao Yichen realized that this could be a significant signal of the Mu Kingdom's resurgence. He decided to prepare in advance, strengthen border defenses, and send more reconnaissance personnel deep into Mu Kingdom territory to gather detailed information about this special force.

Lin Wan'er volunteered to infiltrate the Mu Kingdom once again. Using her intelligence and courage, she successfully infiltrated a town in Mu and approached the training camp of the special forces. After careful observation, she discovered that this special forces unit was skilled in using a new type of weapon, a weapon of immense power capable of inflicting fatal damage on enemies from a distance.

Lin Wan'er hurriedly returned to Rong Kingdom and informed Xiao Yichen of the news. Xiao Yichen summoned the artisans and scholars of Rong Kingdom to jointly research ways to counter this new type of weapon. After countless experiments and failures, they finally developed a protective gear that could effectively resist attacks from this new weapon.

After thorough preparation, Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er quietly awaited the Mu Kingdom's next attack. They knew the next battle would be even fiercer and more brutal, but they were fearless. Their experience on the battlefield had made them stronger and more mature. They believed that as long as they stood shoulder to shoulder, nothing could stop their determination to defend the Rong Kingdom.

During the waiting period, Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er were not idle. They strengthened the ideological education of the soldiers, making them understand the importance and significance of defending the country. They also organized various military exercises to improve the soldiers' combat capabilities and responsiveness.

At the same time, they also paid attention to the logistical support of the army. Lin Wan'er used her connections in the martial arts world to purchase a large amount of high-quality medicines and supplies to ensure that the soldiers could receive timely treatment and supplies on the battlefield.

Xiao Yichen personally supervised the manufacture and maintenance of the weapons to ensure that each weapon was extremely sharp and could play its maximum role on the battlefield.

Finally, the Mu Kingdom launched another attack. This time, they dispatched their secretly trained special forces, hoping to leverage their new weapons to break through the Rong Kingdom's defenses in one fell swoop.

But to their utter surprise, Rong Kingdom was fully prepared. Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er led the Rong Kingdom army in a calm and composed response. They effectively resisted the attacks of Mu Kingdom's new weapons using the protective equipment they had developed. At the same time, they employed flexible and varied tactics to attack the weaknesses of Mu Kingdom's special forces.

On the battlefield, Lin Wan'er once again demonstrated her bravery and fearlessness. Leading a small detachment deep into enemy territory, she stormed the command center of the Mu Kingdom's special forces. Her sword gleamed coldly amidst the enemy ranks, and wherever it went, the enemy crumbled in disarray.

Xiao Yichen, on the other hand, commanded the troops on the main battlefield with composure. He rationally allocated the troops' strength and engaged in a fierce battle with the Mu Kingdom's army.

After a long and arduous battle, the Rong army finally emerged victorious. The Mu army suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat back to their homeland to recuperate.

This victory ushered in a rare period of peace for the Rong Kingdom. Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er became heroes of Rong, their names celebrated and becoming an immortal legend in Rong's history. But they knew that peace was only temporary, and they still needed to remain vigilant and strive for the future of Rong.

The war between Rong and Mu states, after numerous fierce clashes, has temporarily reached a delicate stalemate. Lin Wan'er and Xiao Yichen know that careful strategic planning is crucial to achieving final victory in this protracted war.

Inside the study of the general's mansion, the flickering candlelight illuminated Xiao Yichen's cold and resolute face. His brows were furrowed as he stared at the large military map spread out on the table. The mountains, rivers, cities, and passes marked on the map seemed to tell the story of the complex situation between the two nations. Lin Wan'er stood quietly to the side, her gaze equally focused on the map, her eyes revealing intelligence and composure.

“Wan’er, look, although the Mu Kingdom suffered setbacks in the previous battles, their foundation remains, and their strength should not be underestimated. Although we have achieved some victories, we have also paid a heavy price. If we want to completely defeat them, we must formulate a comprehensive and meticulous strategy.” Xiao Yichen’s voice was deep and steady, breaking the silence in the study.

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly and pointed gently to a valley on the map: "Yi Chen, this valley is strategically located and is the only way to the capital of Mu Kingdom. If we can set up an ambush here, we can strike the main force of Mu Kingdom by surprise. However, the generals of Mu Kingdom are by no means incompetent. They will definitely be on guard. We still need to consider how to lure them into the trap."

Xiao Yichen looked in the direction she pointed, pondered for a moment, and then said, "You're right. We can first pretend to amass a large army in the border region, making it appear as if we're about to launch a massive attack, to attract the attention of the Mu Kingdom. Then we can send out a small force, deliberately revealing a weakness, to lure them into the valley."

Lin Wan'er pondered for a moment and added, "But the selection of this small force must be careful. They must have enough strength to avoid being easily annihilated when being pursued, and they must also have convincing acting skills to make Mu Guo believe them without a doubt."

Xiao Yichen frowned slightly, quickly searching his mind for a suitable candidate. Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Zhao Feng's special forces can handle this task. They are well-trained, experienced in combat, and skilled in camouflage and surprise attacks; they will definitely be able to complete this mission."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er agreed: "Zhao Feng is indeed a suitable candidate. However, to ensure everything goes smoothly, we still need to deploy more defensive forces around the valley to prevent the Mu Kingdom from escaping or other reinforcements from arriving."

The two men, working with the map, discussed every detail in detail. From troop deployment and trap setting to signal transmission and follow-up support, everything was carefully considered and refined. Before they knew it, dawn was breaking outside the window, and the faint light of morning shone through the window onto their tired yet determined faces.

"Alright, let's prepare according to this plan for now. However, before implementation, we still need to closely monitor the movements of the Mu Kingdom and make adjustments as needed based on the actual situation." Xiao Yichen rubbed his temples, looking slightly tired, and said.

Lin Wan'er gently patted his shoulder: "You should rest for a while. You've been working day and night for the war these days. Your health is the most important thing. I'll go and arrange for the soldiers to prepare the necessary supplies and equipment."

After saying this, Lin Wan'er turned and left the study, busily moving about the military camp. She personally inspected the construction of various traps and mechanisms, discussing with the craftsmen how to make them more concealed and deadly. At the same time, she also organized secret training for the soldiers, simulating combat scenarios in valleys to improve their responsiveness and teamwork.

After a brief rest, Xiao Yichen resumed his intelligence gathering efforts. He dispatched multiple reconnaissance teams deep into the territory of the Mu Kingdom to gather intelligence on the Mu army's troop deployments, food reserves, and the latest movements of its generals. This intelligence was continuously sent back to the General's Mansion, where Xiao Yichen and his advisors carefully analyzed and organized it, providing crucial information for refining their strategic plans.

During the intense preparations, Lin Wan'er discovered a potential problem: the people in the border regions of Mu Kingdom harbored fear of the Rong Kingdom's army, which could affect their strategic plans. If Mu Kingdom exploited the people's fear and incited them to fight against the Rong Kingdom's army, it would cause many inconveniences for their operations.

Lin Wan'er told Xiao Yichen about this problem. After pondering for a long time, Xiao Yichen said, "We must change the people's perception of us. We can carry out some charitable activities in the border areas to help those affected by the war rebuild their homes, distribute food and clothing, and let them feel the goodwill of Rong Kingdom. At the same time, we must also strengthen our propaganda among the people so that they understand that we launched the war not to invade, but to defend peace."

Lin Wan'er nodded in agreement and immediately began arranging the relevant matters. She led the soldiers deep into the border villages, helping the villagers repair their houses and cultivate their fields. She also personally treated the wounded and distributed medicines free of charge. Thanks to her efforts, the image of the Rong Kingdom's army in the hearts of the border people gradually changed, from initial fear and resistance to gratitude and trust.

With all preparations completed, the time was ripe for implementing the strategic plan. Xiao Yichen summoned his generals again and, within the camp, detailed the battle missions.

"Gentlemen, this battle concerns the life and death of Rong Kingdom. We must work together and strictly follow the plan. No link can be lost, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." Xiao Yichen's eyes were serious and firm as he scanned each of the generals present.

The generals all accepted the order and went to their respective posts. Zhao Feng led the special forces first. They quietly infiltrated the border area and, according to plan, began to feign the gathering of troops, creating the illusion that they were about to attack the Mu Kingdom.

The Mu army quickly noticed Rong's movements and immediately assembled its troops, ready for battle. However, several days passed, and Rong did not launch an attack, which made the Mu generals somewhat puzzled and uneasy.

Just then, Zhao Feng's special forces began to deliberately expose weaknesses. During a patrol, they intentionally allowed Mu's scouts to discover their movements, and when attacked by a small Mu force, they showed panic and weakness, beginning a retreat.

Seeing this, the Mu generals saw it as a golden opportunity and did not hesitate to lead their main force in pursuit of Zhao Feng's special forces. Zhao Feng fought and retreated, cleverly leading the Mu army into the predetermined valley.

Once the entire Mu army had entered the valley, Xiao Yichen gave the order, and the Rong army, hidden around the valley, launched a swift attack. Arrows rained down, boulders tumbled down, and the Mu army was thrown into chaos.

Lin Wan'er led an elite force, charging out from one side of the valley and piercing the heart of the Mu Kingdom's army. Her sword gleamed coldly in the sunlight, and wherever it went, enemies fell. Her figure moved like lightning, darting freely through the enemy ranks, striking fear into the hearts of the Mu Kingdom's troops.

The Mu generals realized they had been ambushed and attempted to organize a breakout. However, the Rong army's defenses were extremely tight, and despite their attempts to break through, they were unable to breach the Rong lines.

In the midst of fierce fighting, Xiao Yichen personally led his troops to join the battle from the other side of the valley. His spear moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, swift and powerful, each swing bringing with it a storm of blood and gore. His troops, in coordination with Lin Wan'er's forces, gradually compressed the Mu Kingdom's army into the center of the valley.

After a fierce battle, the Mu army was completely annihilated. The Rong state achieved a decisive victory, which not only greatly weakened the Mu state's strength but also gave the Rong state the initiative in the war.

After the war, Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er were not blinded by victory. They knew that although the Mu Kingdom had suffered heavy losses, it could still make a comeback. Therefore, they began to formulate their next strategic plan, preparing to press their advantage and end this long war once and for all.

At the debriefing meeting, Xiao Yichen addressed the generals, saying, "The victory in this battle is inseparable from the efforts and contributions of every soldier. However, we cannot become complacent. The remnants of the Mu Kingdom still exist, and we must remain vigilant and expand our gains. Next, we must further strengthen the blockade against the Mu Kingdom, cutting off their contact with the outside world. At the same time, we should send envoys to neighboring countries to win more support and allies."

Lin Wan'er continued, "We can also launch some small-scale guerrilla warfare within the territory of Mu Kingdom to harass their rear, keeping them busy and unable to focus on recovering their strength. In addition, we need to increase our intelligence gathering efforts to keep track of Mu Kingdom's every move so that we can respond in a timely manner."

The generals nodded in agreement. Following Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er's strategic plan, the Rong Kingdom army launched a new operation. They established a strong blockade along the Mu Kingdom's border, strictly prohibiting any supplies from entering Mu. Simultaneously, they dispatched multiple guerrilla squads deep into Mu territory to conduct a series of guerrilla warfare operations.

In diplomacy, Xiao Yichen personally selected several eloquent envoys to travel to neighboring countries with generous gifts. The envoys explained the justification of Rong's war and the aggressive actions of Mu, urging all nations to unite against Mu. Thanks to the envoys' efforts, some countries began to express support for Rong and provided some material and military aid.

As time went on, the Mu Kingdom, under the blockade and attacks of the Rong Kingdom, fell into an unprecedented predicament. Its domestic economy collapsed, its people suffered, and its army's morale plummeted. Meanwhile, under the leadership of Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er, the Rong Kingdom continued to grow stronger, and its army's strength and morale reached their peak.

At this critical moment, Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er decided to launch a final all-out offensive. They gathered all the troops of Rong Kingdom and marched in a mighty force towards the capital of Mu Kingdom. Along the way, they encountered almost no resistance and smoothly approached the capital of Mu Kingdom.

Seeing that all was lost, the last emperor of the Mu Kingdom had no choice but to surrender. The Rong Kingdom finally achieved final victory in this war, ending years of conflict.

Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er became heroes of Rong Kingdom, their names forever etched in its history. Their love story spread widely among the people, becoming a celebrated tale. After the war, they retired to the mountains, living a peaceful and happy life, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Led by Lin Wan'er and Xiao Yichen, the Rong Kingdom's army swept through the land with unstoppable momentum, and victory seemed imminent. However, just when everyone thought the Mu Kingdom was about to be completely defeated, an unexpected crisis quietly descended.

It was a seemingly ordinary morning. The sunlight had just begun to fall on the tents in the camp, and the soldiers were carrying out their daily drills. As usual, Xiao Yichen was studying the battle map in his tent, thinking about how to further expand their gains. Lin Wan'er, on the other hand, was checking the soldiers' equipment, ensuring that every weapon was in optimal condition.

Suddenly, the sound of rapid hoofbeats shattered the tranquility of the camp. A scout rushed into the camp, his face filled with terror, heading straight for Xiao Yichen's tent. "General, it's terrible! The Mu Kingdom's army has set up numerous traps in the valley ahead, and our vanguard is already surrounded!" the scout reported breathlessly.

Xiao Yichen was startled, fully aware of the gravity of the situation. The vanguard was the vanguard of this attack; failure to rescue them in time would not only result in heavy casualties but could also affect the entire battle. He immediately stood up and ordered, "Assemble the troops, advance at full speed, and rescue the vanguard at all costs!"

Lin Wan'er also realized the urgency of the crisis. She quickly came to Xiao Yichen's side and said, "Yichen, I'm worried that this is a conspiracy by the Mu Kingdom. They may be deliberately leading us to the rescue, and then setting up an ambush on the way. We can't act rashly; we need to be careful."

Xiao Yichen nodded slightly; he knew Lin Wan'er was right. But with the vanguard in imminent danger, he couldn't stand idly by. "Wan'er, lead a small detachment to flank the Mu army and scout their strength. I'll lead the main force in a frontal assault to draw their attention," Xiao Yichen calmly deployed.

Lin Wan'er accepted the order and left. She selected a group of agile soldiers and quietly advanced towards the valley on the flank. Xiao Yichen led the main force, surging towards the valley like a tide.

When Xiao Yichen's troops arrived at the entrance to the valley, the sight before them made him gasp. A thick fog filled the valley, obstructing visibility and making it impossible to see anything inside. From the surrounding hillsides, the faint sound of bowstrings being drawn could be heard, clearly indicating that the Mu Kingdom's army was ready for battle.

"General, this situation is extremely unfavorable for us. Should we suspend the attack and wait for news from Miss Lin?" a lieutenant suggested cautiously.

Xiao Yichen frowned, his mind reeling. The vanguard soldiers were under enemy attack; every moment of delay would increase their casualties. "No, we can't wait. We'll use the catapults to attack the enemy on the hillside and clear a path for the rescue troops," Xiao Yichen decisively decided.

At Xiao Yichen's command, the Rong Kingdom's catapults launched their attack. Huge stones rained down on the hillside, causing chaos. The Mu Kingdom's army was not to be outdone; they fired arrows from the hillside, and for a moment, arrows rained down. The Rong Kingdom's soldiers raised their shields to defend themselves.

Amidst the fierce barrage of arrows, Xiao Yichen personally led a squad of soldiers into the valley. They groped their way forward through the mist, carefully avoiding the traps on the ground. Suddenly, a soldier accidentally triggered a mechanism, and with a loud "boom," the trap exploded, instantly blasting several nearby soldiers away.

"Everyone, watch your step!" Xiao Yichen shouted. His heart was filled with anger and self-blame. This war should not have been so passive. It was all his negligence that had put the soldiers in such a dangerous situation.

Meanwhile, Lin Wan'er's small detachment encountered enemy resistance in a valley on the flank. The Mu Kingdom's army seemed to have been prepared, dispatching an elite force to surround Lin Wan'er and her group in a narrow mountain pass.

Lin Wan'er looked at the enemy before her, but felt no fear. She calmly directed her soldiers to form a defensive formation and engage in a desperate battle. "Brothers, don't be afraid! We must hold on and wait for the general's rescue!" Lin Wan'er shouted.

Her sword danced like a blur of light, each swing repelling enemy attacks. Inspired by her, the soldiers fought bravely, defending the honor of Rong Kingdom with their lives.

Xiao Yichen, in the valley, heard shouts of battle coming from his flank. He knew that Lin Wan'er was also in danger. He was extremely anxious, but the enemy in front of him was also very powerful. He had to break through his current predicament before he could rescue Lin Wan'er.

"Soldiers, for Rong Kingdom, for our brothers, kill!" Xiao Yichen roared, his spear surging like a dragon emerging from the sea, charging towards the enemy. His bravery inspired the soldiers around him, who followed him, launching wave after wave of charges against the Mu Kingdom's army.

However, the Mu army's defenses were extremely tenacious. Utilizing the advantageous terrain and traps, they repeatedly repelled the Rong army's attacks. The Rong army suffered increasing casualties, and their morale began to decline.

Just as Xiao Yichen was feeling somewhat desperate, suddenly, the fog in the valley began to dissipate. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Mu Kingdom army had set up some traps in the valley to create fog and confuse the Rong Kingdom army. Now that the traps had been destroyed by the Rong Kingdom army's catapults, the fog naturally dissipated.

"Excellent! Heaven is on our side! Soldiers, now is the time for us to counterattack!" Xiao Yichen shouted excitedly. He immediately adjusted his tactics, ordering his soldiers to concentrate their forces and attack the weak points of the Mu Kingdom's army.

Under Xiao Yichen's command, the Rong Kingdom army launched a fierce counterattack. They pounced on the Mu Kingdom army like tigers, quickly breaking through the enemy's defenses. Xiao Yichen led his soldiers deep into the valley, finally finding the besieged vanguard.

The vanguard had already suffered heavy casualties, stubbornly holding out for several hours under the heavy encirclement of the Mu Kingdom's army. Seeing Xiao Yichen's arrival, a spark of hope rekindled in the eyes of the vanguard soldiers.

"General, you've finally arrived!" the commander of the vanguard exclaimed excitedly.

Looking at his exhausted soldiers, Xiao Yichen felt a pang of guilt. "I'm late, brothers, you've suffered. Let's rest for a bit, then we'll fight our way out!" Xiao Yichen said.

He immediately organized his soldiers for a final attack on the Mu army. With the support of the vanguard, the Rong army quickly annihilated the Mu army in the valley.

However, the crisis was not over. When Xiao Yichen led his soldiers out of the valley, he found that the battle on Lin Wan'er's side was still fierce. Without hesitation, he led his troops towards the ravine where Lin Wan'er was.

Lin Wan'er and her small team were surrounded by the enemy and were in dire straits. Their numbers were dwindling, and casualties were mounting. But Lin Wan'er did not give up. She had only one belief in her heart: to persevere and wait for Xiao Yichen's rescue.

Just as Lin Wan'er was feeling somewhat overwhelmed, she suddenly heard a familiar battle cry. She looked up and saw Xiao Yichen leading his troops down like gods.

"Yichen, you're here!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed excitedly.

Xiao Yichen did not answer; his eyes were only on the enemy. He led his troops like a whirlwind, instantly tearing a gap in the encirclement of the Mu Kingdom's army.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Wan'er led her small squad out and joined Xiao Yichen's troops. Together, they launched a final assault on the Mu Kingdom's army, completely repelling the enemy.

This crisis inflicted heavy losses on the Rong Kingdom's army, but it also made them more acutely aware of the cruelty of war. Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er knew they could not repeat the same mistakes and must be even more cautious in every battle.

After the crisis was averted, Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er began to reorganize the army. They intensified the soldiers' training, improving their combat skills and crisis response capabilities. At the same time, they also increased their intelligence gathering efforts to avoid falling into the enemy's trap again.

After a period of reorganization, the Rong Kingdom's army gradually recovered its strength. Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er decided to launch another attack; they wanted to completely defeat the Mu Kingdom and end this long war.

In the ensuing battles, Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er learned from their previous experience, developing more cautious battle plans and meticulously probing the enemy's strengths and weaknesses. Under their leadership, the Rong Kingdom army advanced triumphantly, finally capturing the capital of the Mu Kingdom and achieving final victory in the war.

The victory in this war not only brought peace and prosperity to the Rong Kingdom, but also made the love between Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan'er even more unbreakable through the baptism of war. They became heroes of the Rong Kingdom, and their story was passed down through generations, becoming an immortal legend.
