Chapter 942 - Solo Mission (1/2)

P5092 kept waiting patiently for the moment when the expeditionary army's intentions would be revealed. Before that, no matter how dangerous the situation at the defensive position got, he would still keep his trump card hidden.

As long as this trump card was not revealed, it would always remain a deterrent.

It was just like a battle between two experts. Before you swung your sword, your opponent would never know where you were aiming for. As such, they would have to be extremely cautious and always hold back a little.

As such, no matter how ferocious the expeditionary army might look now, they were actually not using their full strength.

The expeditionary army was afraid the mountains would collapse again like the previous time after they deployed their main forces. The barbarians could not figure out how the Central Plains people did it on that day, so they could only continue probing with a fear of the unknown.

To P5092, as long as he could use 6,000 people to hold the expeditionary army's main forces here, it would be a success.

If 6,000 people were able to achieve this, it would be enough to make P5092's name known throughout the Alliance of Strongholds.

P5092 had never thought they would emerge victorious on Mt. Zuoyun. Although he did not say it aloud, he was actually quite pessimistic about their chances.

Seeing that two days had almost passed, the casualties they inflicted on the expeditionary army were not even 10% of the enemy's forces yet.

On the surface, it looked like it would be very difficult for the barbarians to even breach the defensive position. But in fact, it could be seen from the difference in strength that there would still be a tough battle ahead.

As time passed, the 6th Combat Brigade's ammunition supply would only get more and more scarce. What should they do when the ammunition supply ran out? Even P5092 had not thought about this problem yet.

Based on Wang Yun's calculations, their ammunition would probably not last long in a battle of this intensity.

On the second day of the engagement, the chaotic battle lasted from morning until noon. Wang Yun was a little tired as he rubbed his eyebrows. Even with his brains, it was still a little tough to handle such a long period of activity tracking, observation, and summary of events.

When P5092 saw this, he arranged for him to get some rest. ”The expeditionary army isn't attacking so aggressively now, but I expect another fierce attack to happen in the evening. Go and eat some food and then get some rest first.”

Wang Yun nodded. ”Alright, call for me anytime if you need anything.”

With that, Wang Yun walked towards the interior of the defensive position. At this moment, it was lunchtime at the chow tents, and the cooks were waiting for the garrison troops who were rotated out to arrive.

Meanwhile, the medics had nothing to do at all. That was because it was very difficult for the barbarians to rush up to the defensive position during the early stages of the battle. Therefore, there were not many casualties on this side.

Moreover, Ren Xiaosu had already given some black medicine in advance to the medical center for them to use. This black medicine did not require any technical skill to apply at all. All the medics needed to do was to sew up the wounds and apply the black medicine and the patient would be fine.

In a situation like this, the medics felt no sense of purpose at all. Some of them even felt they were a little unnecessary on the battlefield.

However, P5092 had specifically instructed them to be prepared to receive a large number of wounded personnel even though they had nothing to do right now.
