As ammunition slowly became exhausted, the sound of gunfire from the mountain grew sparse. This gave Yipa soldiers the confidence to attack; they braced their shields and began a reckless charge toward the mountain top.
Without ammunition supplies, the well-equipped Dongsheng army on the mountain struggled to replicate the previous day's success. The casualties of the attacking Yipa soldiers quickly dropped, and they soon reached Dongsheng's first defensive line.
However, these Yipa soldiers, eager for battle, seemed to overlook a detail: although the Dongsheng army relied on firearms, it didn't mean they only had guns at their disposal.
This was a General's guard, with most members being officers, and many were cultivators, with an armor rate exceeding one hundred percent. They were fully equipped with bows, crossbows, swords, and knives, meaning that even in close combat with the Yipa army, they would not be at a disadvantage.
