Realizing that their meticulously planned conspiracy had been exposed overnight, the foreign powers cornered themselves like beasts at the end of their rope, growing desperate enough to throw caution to the wind. Secretly and like ghosts, they swiftly dispatched massive reinforcements to bolster the armed forces on the border, desperately attempting to turn the unfavorable tide before Great Qing could launch its military offensive.
At that time, on the border battlefield, the night was as dark as ink, and thick smoke hung heavily in the air, refusing to dissipate. The troops led by Li Xuan were quietly preparing to launch a surprise attack according to their original plan, but they never expected the enemy to suddenly mount a ferocious counterattack like rabid dogs. The enemy gunfire roared with deafening intensity, and a dense hail of firepower poured down like a storm, instantly shattering the previous silence of the battlefield.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Li Xuan tightly knitted his brows, his expression stern yet composed. He quickly waved the command flag in his hand and issued a firm, loud order: "Hold your ground, brothers! Do not panic! This is nothing more than their dying struggle. Follow my orders: squad by squad, provide covering fire for one another and advance steadily!"
