In the pitch-black night and dark forest, the allied forces were on high alert, their attention intensely focused on the battle at the mountainside ahead. The battle was not going smoothly; no one expected the counterattack from the mountaintop to use volley fire tactics. This not only compensated for the lack of precision in their gun skills but also maximized the advantage of firepower from their numbers.
In chaotic battles, they feared nothing; bullets flew randomly, and gunfire had no pattern. For the well-trained among them, this allowed them to seize fleeting opportunities for counterattacks or even advance. But when faced with orderly volley fire, rows of bullets stormed in densely, like an invisible wave that was unavoidable. Worse yet, the timing of these volleys was unpredictable, often sounding just as they prepared to charge, forcing them to retreat, and the slower ones were hit by the volley, crippled if not killed.
