Chapter 129 The Light of Hope
After another wave of crazy attacks by the enemy was repelled with difficulty, the entire Jianghu Alliance's stronghold fell into a brief and heavy silence. Everyone seized this rare opportunity to take a breath and quickly rested.
Lin Feng looked solemn, and walked slowly on the city wall with heavy steps. His eyes swept through every corner with concern, checking the condition of the wounded. Some of the injured disciples leaned against the wall, their faces pale, and some lay on the ground. The blood stains of the wounds penetrated the bandages, but their eyes still flashed with unyielding light.
"Brothers, we have withstood round after round of attacks. They can't take us down easily! As long as we stick to our beliefs, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy!" Lin Feng said loudly, his voice full of determination and encouragement. His words were like a warm spring breeze, blowing through the hearts of every disciple, giving them strength and courage.
Although the disciples were exhausted, they still responded firmly with all their strength when they heard the encouragement of the headmaster. Although their voices were hoarse, they were full of determination: "Yes, Master! We will never retreat!" The faces covered with dust and blood were now blooming with persistence in victory and loyalty to the Jianghu Alliance.
Sun Ming leaned against the wall, breathing heavily. His body was covered with wounds of varying depths, and blood kept oozing out of the wounds, staining his clothes red. But his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle, revealing a stubbornness that would never yield.
"Master, the enemy will not give up, and the next wave of attacks may be more fierce. We must be more fully prepared." Sun Ming said while enduring the pain, and every word seemed to carry his determination and worry.
Lin Feng nodded, his eyes revealing determination: "We have no way out, behind us is our homeland and our loved ones. Only by fighting to the death can we protect everything we cherish." His voice sounded firmly in the wind, making everyone who heard it feel a fearless power.
At this time, Li Yifeng hurried over. His face was full of anxiety and fatigue, and the sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks.
"Master, I just checked the material reserves, and the situation is not optimistic. There are not many weapons and arrows left, and food and medicine are also decreasing sharply." Li Yifeng reported worriedly, with a hint of urgency in his voice.
Lin Feng frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Find a way to save and use, and try to seize supplements from the enemy. At the same time, we must reasonably distribute the existing materials to ensure that every key combat position can get the necessary support." His brain was running fast, thinking about strategies to deal with material shortages.
Just as everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures, a disciple in charge of lookout suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted: "Look, what is that?" His voice was full of surprise and confusion.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a group of people rushing towards this side in the distance. In the dust, flags fluttered, but due to the distance, it was difficult to distinguish the identity of the visitors.
"Is it the enemy's reinforcements?" Someone said worriedly, and his voice trembled unconsciously. This idea cast a shadow over the hearts of everyone present. If it was the reinforcement of the enemy, the situation faced by the Jianghu Alliance would be even more difficult.
Lin Feng stared closely at the approaching team and observed carefully for a moment. His eyes were sharp and focused, not missing any details.
"No, look at their flags, it seems to be reinforcements!" Lin Feng said loudly, his voice full of surprise and hope. His judgment rekindled the spark of hope in everyone's hearts.
As the team got closer and closer, their figures gradually became clearer. Sure enough, several nearby sects heard about the plight of the Jianghu Alliance and sent disciples to support them. The reinforcements were all heroic and determined, carrying sufficient weapons and supplies, and they came all the way without stopping.
"Master Lin, we are here to help you!" The leader of the reinforcements shouted loudly, his voice loud and powerful. He rode a tall white horse, and the long sword in his hand flashed in the sun.
The people of the Jianghu Alliance cheered, and the cheers were full of joy and excitement. This sudden force instantly filled their exhausted bodies and minds with new vitality and fighting spirit.
Lin Feng excitedly went forward, tears of gratitude flashing in his eyes: "Thank you all for your help, the Jianghu Alliance will remember this kindness! At this critical moment, your arrival is like sending charcoal in the snow." He tightly held the hands of the leader of the reinforcements, and those hands conveyed warmth and strength.
The reinforcements quickly unloaded the new weapons and supplies they brought, boxes of arrows, brand-new swords, and precious medicines and food. These supplies instantly supplemented the combat power of the Jianghu Alliance and gave everyone hope to hold on.
"Everyone, hurry up and prepare, the enemy will attack again soon." Lin Feng said, his voice full of urgency. He knew that although there were reinforcements, the battle was still arduous and there could be no slackness.
With the addition of reinforcements, the Jianghu Alliance rearranged its defense line. They reasonably adjusted the distribution of troops according to the characteristics and advantages of the reinforcements. More archers were added to the city walls, the defenses at the city gates were strengthened, and ambushes were deployed outside the city, preparing to give the enemy a surprise attack.
Soon, the enemy attacked again. This time, their offensive was even more fierce, as if they wanted to release all their anger and strength in this attack. The enemy's trumpets and shouts were deafening and terrifying.
But the people of the Jianghu Alliance were no longer afraid. They worked closely with the reinforcements and fought bravely. Chen Fei stood on the city wall and commanded confidently.
"Shoot arrows! Throw stones! Don't let the enemy get close to the city wall!" Chen Fei shouted loudly, and his voice was still clearly audible on the noisy battlefield. The archers quickly pulled the strings and shot arrows, and the catapults threw huge stones again, causing considerable casualties to the enemy.
The new battle was extremely fierce, and both sides were blood-stained. Every moment someone fell, and every inch of land was stained with blood. Sun Ming rushed out of the city gate with a team of people and fought a desperate battle with the enemy outside the city. He waved the long knife in his hand, like a tiger descending the mountain, and the enemy avoided him wherever he went.
The reinforcements also showed strong strength. They were well-trained and cooperated tacitly. Some reinforcements were good at close combat, fighting the enemy in close combat without flinching; some reinforcements were good at spells, casting various magical spells, causing great interference and damage to the enemy.
During the battle, a disciple who was a reinforcement was unfortunately chopped down by the enemy. The moment he fell, his eyes were still full of determination and fearlessness. His companions saw this scene and roared to avenge him.
"For justice! For home!" The shouts were deafening, as if they were going to break through the clouds. The flames of anger burned in everyone's heart. They turned their grief into strength and fought more bravely.
After a hard fight, this round of attack by the enemy was repelled again. The battlefield was full of enemy corpses, and the Jianghu Alliance and reinforcements also paid a heavy price. Many brave warriors left them forever, but they defended the safety of the city with their lives.
As the sun set, the afterglow sprinkled on this battlefield full of scars, giving everything a layer of golden brilliance. But this beautiful scene could not cover up the cruelty and bloodiness of war.
Lin Feng looked at the corpses on the ground, and his heart was filled with emotion. He remembered those once vivid faces, those brothers who fought side by side, but now they are separated by Yin and Yang.
"This battle is not over yet, but as long as we unite as one, we will surely defeat the enemy! We must use victory to commemorate the fallen heroes!" Lin Feng said, with a hint of sadness in his voice, but more of firmness and determination.
Everyone responded in unison, and their voices echoed in the silent battlefield. Their eyes were full of hope for the future. They believed that as long as they persisted, they would be able to usher in the final victory and protect their homes and beliefs.
