Chapter 1637: Calm in the Face of Danger

The horn of battle still echoed in the wilderness. Zhao Yunfeng stood tall, his armor already full of mottled traces, every one of which recorded the glory and hardship of the battle. He looked at the battlefield, his eyes without a trace of fear, only firmness and persistence.

"Brothers, our Zhao Yun family has never had anyone who retreats!" Zhao Yunfeng's voice pierced through the smoke, encouraging every soldier. "Today, we must not only guard this city but also let the world know that Zhao Yun's spirit will never be extinguished!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers' morale was greatly boosted. They followed Zhao Yunfeng and repelled the enemy's attacks time and again, every victory seeming to crown Zhao Yun's spirit. On the battlefield, the sounds of killing and the clashing of weapons intertwined, composing a tragic song of war.

However, the enemy's offensive became increasingly fierce, as if they would stop at nothing to take this city. Zhao Yunfeng knew deeply that if this continued, even if they could hold on temporarily, they would pay a heavy price. He had to find a way to break the situation.

"Pass the order down: all soldiers, follow me to break out!" Zhao Yunfeng made a prompt decision; he decided to adopt a more active tactic, take the initiative to attack, and disrupt the enemy's deployment.

Under Zhao Yunfeng's leadership, an elite force quickly assembled; they were like a sharp blade, striking directly at the enemy's heart. This sudden counterattack caught the enemy off guard, and their formation fell into chaos.

"Kill!" Zhao Yunfeng took the lead, his long spear pointing the way, invincible. His figure on the battlefield was like a bolt of lightning, and wherever he went, the enemy retreated one after another.

The soldiers followed closely behind; they trusted Zhao Yunfeng, and even more, they trusted the courage and wisdom inherited by the Zhao Yun family for generations. Under Zhao Yunfeng's command, they cooperated tacitly, their tactics were flexible, and they resolved the enemy's offensive time and again.

However, the battle remained deadlocked, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. Zhao Yunfeng looked with heartache at the soldiers beside him falling one by one, but he knew he could not stop now, and even less could he retreat.

"For this land, for our home, for the glory of the Zhao Yun family, we must persist to the end!" Zhao Yunfeng's voice was somewhat hoarse, but still full of power. "Brothers, follow me and charge!"

Under Zhao Yunfeng's leadership, the soldiers launched a charge again. Their figures appeared and disappeared in the smoke, but every step was firm and incomparable. They knew that this battle was not only for survival but also for faith.

Finally, under Zhao Yunfeng's tenacious resistance and clever strategy, the enemy began to rout. They could not withstand the fierce offensive of the army led by Zhao Yunfeng and could only flee in embarrassment.

The battle ended, but Zhao Yunfeng did not lower his guard. He knew deeply that this was only a temporary victory, and true peace required more effort. He began to arrange the aftermath work, treat the wounded, bury the sacrificed soldiers, and at the same time strengthen the city's defense to prevent the enemy from attacking again.

The common people flocked to the streets to celebrate the victory. They were grateful for Zhao Yunfeng's bravery and wisdom, and even more grateful for everything the Zhao Yun family had done for this land. They knew that it was the spirit of Zhao Yunfeng and the Zhao Yun family that guarded their peace and happiness.

"General Zhao, you are our hero!" an old man held Zhao Yunfeng's hand excitedly. "You inherited the bravery and wisdom of Lord Zhao Yun; you are the pride of all of us!"

Zhao Yunfeng smiled modestly; he knew deeply that he had only done what he should have done. He looked at this land, his heart filled with emotion. Here, it was the place where his ancestors had fought, and now, he had also left his own footprints here.

"I will continue to work hard to make this land more prosperous." Zhao Yunfeng vowed secretly. "I want Zhao Yun's spirit to shine on this land forever."

Zhao Yunfeng had been working on this land for decades. His hair was turning white, but his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle's, as if he could see through all the changes in the world. Under his governance, this city not only restored its former prosperity but also made great progress in culture and technology, becoming a model admired by the surrounding areas.

However, Zhao Yunfeng knew deeply that true challenges were often hidden beneath the calm. In recent years, surrounding countries had been restless, and the situation had become increasingly tense. Although peace was maintained on the surface, undercurrents were surging, and the clouds of war were gathering quietly again.

"Father, an urgent report from the frontier!" One day, Zhao Yunfeng's son, Zhao Zilong, walked into the study hurriedly, clutching a secret letter in his hand. Zhao Zilong inherited his father's bravery and wisdom, and at a young age, he had already become a leader in the army.

Zhao Yunfeng took the letter, his brows locked, and quickly browsed the content. The letter mentioned that a small country on the frontier had suddenly torn up the peace agreement and assembled a large army, intending to invade.

"It seems our days of peace will not last long." Zhao Yunfeng said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with complex emotions. "Zilong, prepare yourself; we are about to embark on the journey again."

Upon hearing this, a flash of excitement and reluctance crossed Zhao Zilong's eyes. What he was excited about was being able to fight side by side with his father, and what he was reluctant about was the warm lights at home and the family members he was about to part with. But he knew that as a member of the Zhao Yun family, guarding the peace of this land and its people was their inescapable responsibility.

The next day, Zhao Yunfeng and his son led the army and marched toward the frontier in a mighty force. Along the way, the common people sent them off spontaneously, their eyes filled with trust and reverence for the Zhao Yun family.

"General Zhao, you must return safely!" an old man shouted loudly, his voice trembling, his eyes flashing with tears. ===== CHAPTER 1638 =====
