   Deep down, Fang Yunchang admired the man's abilities, but he felt it was his own hard work that had given him this opportunity. However, he willingly relinquished command because if the battle succeeded, all the credit would be his, and the man before him had no right to object. "Commander, something's wrong. The enemy clearly has the upper hand, so why are they retreating so frantically?" "I see it!" Wen Chengfan, standing atop the warship, saw it clearly. But at this moment, with the enemy retreating, how could they complete their mission if they didn't advance? But what if they blindly advanced and fell into an ambush? Not only Wen Chengfan, but even Li Xiuwen was filled with doubt. He didn't understand why the Ming army had suddenly retreated on such a large scale. Although one of their artillery positions had been destroyed, there were still several artillery positions that could support Ligang. For a moment, both commanders were caught in a dilemma.

    For those who dislike overly dramatic and exciting stories, I recommend this solid historical time-travel novel set in the late Ming Dynasty: "Transmigrating to the Late Ming Dynasty: From a Border Soldier to a Hero." There's no mindless crushing victory; the protagonist is born into the most realistic and desperate situation of the late Ming Dynasty: unpaid military pay, soldiers starving and freezing, oppressive government everywhere, and human life cheap. He deeply understands the root causes of the Ming Dynasty's collapse and, with the meager strength of a lowly soldier, prioritizes survival before protecting those around him. The book fully recreates the chaos of border defense, taxation, refugees, and military and political turmoil in the late Ming Dynasty. The development path—training troops, building cities, promoting trade, and ensuring the people's well-being—is logically sound. Warfare isn't based on brute force; tactics, logistics, and public sentiment are all meticulously depicted. There are no forced power-ups to dominate; every step of expansion is filled with blood, tears, and sacrifices. The struggles of ordinary people and the suffering of the common people in this chaotic world are highly relatable. Balancing political intrigue and warfare, it's a particularly enjoyable read for history buffs. A promising book with great potential for serialization!
