Days flow forward like a stream amid people's hard work and vision, life gradually gets back on track, and the village becomes more prosperous day by day. The wheat ears in the fields are getting fuller, the children's voices in the school are getting clearer, and the transactions in the market are becoming more frequent. Everyone's face is filled with expectations and confidence for the future life.

However, this peace and beauty did not last long. In the distant border, the flames of war raged like a demon, greedily devouring everything. The ruthless war machine rolled forward, gradually approaching their peaceful and tranquil homeland.

At first, only some vague rumors spread among people. It was said that border cities fell one after another, and the enemy was as unstoppable as a surging tide. But people living in peace still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that the war would not really burn their homes.

Until that day, the smoke of war floated into the sky above the village like a nightmare. A group of panicked refugees poured into the village. They were haggard and ragged, bringing the bad news that the border had fallen. It turned out that the enemy's cavalry had ruthlessly broken through the border defense line, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. Wherever they went, villages were burned, farmland was trampled, and people were displaced and wailing everywhere.

"Run, the enemy is coming!" The refugees' desperate cries echoed in the streets of the village, instantly breaking the original tranquility.

Gu Qianning stood in the village square, looking at the panicked crowd, with a strong sense of responsibility in her heart. She knew that she couldn't back down at this time. She took a deep breath and said loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone. We can definitely defend our homeland!"

Her voice was firm and powerful, like a stabilizing force in the panicked crowd. The villagers gradually quieted down and turned their eyes to her.

"Brother Chu, we have to organize the defense quickly." Gu Qianning turned and said to Chu Mohan.

Chu Mohan nodded, with a determined light in his eyes: "Okay, let's act immediately."

Gu Qianning quickly returned home, opened the space, and began to organize the weapons and defense facilities inside. She took out boxes of bows and arrows, swords, and some simple catapults and crossbows from the space. At the same time, she also took out some defensive shields and armor and distributed them to the villagers.

Under the organization of Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan, the villagers acted quickly. The young and strong men took up arms and built fortifications around the village; the women and the elderly were responsible for preparing food and medical supplies to provide logistical support for the upcoming battle; the children were also not idle, they helped to pass on messages and carry supplies.

During the process of preparing for defense, Gu Qianning constantly encouraged everyone: "We have to protect our homeland ourselves. As long as we unite as one, we will be able to defeat the enemy!"

The morale of the villagers gradually rose. They gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes full of determination and resoluteness.

Soon, the vanguard of the enemy army appeared in the sight of the village. They rode on tall horses, brandished scimitars in their hands, and made ferocious shouts.

"Get ready for battle!" Chu Mohan shouted loudly.

The villagers took their positions, drew their bows and arrows, and prepared for battle.

The enemy thought that this small village would be easily conquered like other places. However, when they came into range, they were greeted by a dense rain of arrows.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Sharp arrows shot towards the enemy like meteors, and many enemy soldiers were shot and fell off their horses in an instant.

The enemy general saw this and was furious: "Charge!"

The enemy army surged towards the village like a tide. Gu Qianning commanded the catapults and crossbows to launch an attack. Huge stones and crossbow arrows whizzed towards the enemy army, exploding in the enemy army and causing chaos.

Seeing the enemy's defeat, the villagers' morale was boosted, and they rushed out of the fortifications and engaged in close combat with the enemy. Chu Mohan led the way, and the long sword in his hand was like a dragon out of the sea, and wherever he went, the enemy fell one after another.

Gu Qianning was also not idle. She used the convenience of space to continuously provide weapons and supplies to the villagers. At the critical moment of the battle, she would personally take action and use the supernatural powers in space to deal a huge blow to the enemy.

Under the villagers' tenacious resistance, the enemy's first round of attack was repelled. However, everyone knew that the enemy would not give up and more intense battles were still to come.

Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan took advantage of the breaks in the battle to organize the villagers to reinforce the fortifications and replenish weapons and supplies.

"Come on, everyone. We will definitely be able to protect our home!" Gu Qianning encouraged everyone.

The villagers responded in unison: "We can definitely hold on!"

Sure enough, not long after, the enemy's second round of attack began. This time, the enemy sent more troops and brought siege equipment.

The huge stones from the catapults kept hitting the village, and the crossbow arrows from the crossbows rained down like raindrops. The village's fortifications were severely damaged and many villagers were injured.

Gu Qianning was extremely anxious. She kept taking out therapeutic medicines from the space to treat the injured villagers.

"Brother Chu, this is not a solution. We have to find a way to destroy their siege equipment." Gu Qianning said to Chu Mohan.

Chu Mohan nodded: "I will lead a team to rush out and attract their attention, and you will find a chance to destroy their siege equipment."

"Okay, be careful!" Gu Qianning warned.

Chu Mohan led a group of brave villagers, rushed out of the fortifications and rushed towards the enemy. The enemy's attention was attracted by them and they surrounded them.

Gu Qianning took this opportunity and used her teleportation ability to instantly appear next to the enemy's siege equipment. She took the explosive pack in her hand, quickly placed it on the siege equipment, and then lit the fuse.

"Boom!" With a few loud noises, the enemy's siege equipment was destroyed.

The enemy saw that their siege equipment was destroyed and their formation was in disarray. The villagers led by Chu Mohan took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and beat the enemy back step by step.

After a day and night of fierce fighting, the enemy was finally repelled, and the sky above the village was filled with the villagers' cheers of victory.

Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan sat on the ground tiredly, looking at each other, their eyes full of relief and pride.

"We did it." Chu Mohan said.

"Yes, we did it." Gu Qianning responded with a smile.

This thrilling and ups-and-downs battle finally came to an end, and the dawn of victory shone on the faces of everyone in the village, with a heartfelt joy and pride. The villagers hugged each other tightly and cheered. At this moment, they were no longer isolated and helpless individuals, but an indestructible team, a group of comrades who fought side by side and shared life and death.
