"Form ranks, shield-bearers at the front, spear-bearers next, and archers at the rear, hold your positions firmly." Ye Shikai shouted loudly. The cave entrance was extremely narrow, barely allowing three people to stand side by side. Over fifty soldiers standing outside would likely get surrounded by the robbers, but the cave entrance was a 'natural bottleneck.'
Although the robbers had a larger number, they were disorganized, like a swarm of ants. With Ye Shikai's deployment, it was akin to a hedgehog curling into a ball, leaving no loophole. Even if the robbers outnumbered them several times over, they couldn't make a dent.
