Chapter 1748: Holding the Position, Battle Plan

It was dawn.

Outside Panshi City, it was a mess.

There were countless corpses of infected ones, looking like charred charcoal.

Some lying, some prone, in various forms.

The ground was scorched black, and the traces of burning were still there.

Black smoke permeated everywhere outside the city.

The entire area outside the city was a scene like this.

It showed just how intense last night's battle had been.

Soldiers who had fought for a long time were arranged to go down and rest.

And those soldiers who had rested well were gathered to go out of the city to clean up the battlefield.

It was chaotic outside the city; if it wasn't cleaned up.

Then when the infected ones attacked again tonight, it would cause them unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, cleaning up the infected ones on the battlefield was inevitable.

Recycling arrows for reuse was also imperative.

These things were being carried out in an orderly manner.

At this moment—

On the city walls.

General Meng Tian, Han Xin, and other deputy generals gathered together.

They hadn't slept all night, but their spirits were still very good.

"There are quite a few infected ones around here, probably about the same as when we were on the isolated island."

"If we beat the drums, I dare not imagine how many infected ones would arrive."

Han Xin frowned slightly; the battle last night made him feel a hint of pressure.

There was no water source here, and everything had to be done by themselves.

When there was a water source before, they didn't need to do anything at all.

Now in this city, every infected one killed required them to do it themselves.

This also made them more exhausted; the only advantage was that they had a large number of soldiers.

Otherwise, if it went on like this, it was really uncertain who would win or lose.

Moreover, such consumption was huge: damaged arrows, burned wood, fire oil, and other strategic reserves.

These were non-renewable resources; to have strong lethality, they had to be continuously transported from Great Qin.

This was a huge project, and they couldn't do it for the time being.

Even if His Highness were here, he couldn't do it.

After all, the portal couldn't be opened here, making it even more difficult to execute such orders.

Therefore, their subsequent battles would become more difficult, without so much fire oil for them to use.

"The situation here is relatively grim; the only advantage is having sturdy city walls."

General Meng Tian also knew that fighting outside this city was not optimistic, far worse than the isolated island.

But this was something that couldn't be helped; it was impossible to have water sources everywhere.

The only advantage was that they had many people and a sturdy defensive line.

This was their advantage.

"Send someone to the isolated island to notify the logistics infantry and have them transfer over."

"This way, we can hold out for quite some time."

"Temporarily treat this as the base camp and eliminate the surrounding infected ones first."

"It can also be considered waiting for His Highness's arrival here."

"As for the rest, wait until His Highness arrives to plan."

General Meng Tian felt that it was best to let His Highness handle these matters.

Therefore, staying here temporarily and eliminating the surrounding infected ones was killing two birds with one stone.

Only by eliminating the surrounding infected ones would it be smoother to go out of the city later.

Regarding General Meng Tian's words, no one opposed anything.

At the same time, some people began to execute General Meng Tian's orders.

Cavalry headed towards the direction of the isolated island.

If things went smoothly, the infantry would probably arrive here by tomorrow.

They just needed to wait patiently here.

The logistics infantry had plenty of grain and grass, enough for them to use for a while.

Therefore, there was no need to worry about going hungry while besieged in this city.

After eliminating the infected ones around the city, this place would be safe.

General Meng Tian and the others discussed the recent days' battles.

They also arranged to set up traps again.

Those infected ones were brainless; the simplest traps could take their lives.

That certainly required setting up more traps.

Just to slow down the attacks of the infected ones.

Fortunately, they had sufficient time to fight and were not fighting day and night.

Otherwise, few people could endure this.

Resting during the day and fighting at night, time was ample.

After everything was arranged properly.

The remaining people rested, while others dug traps.

Everyone went to do what they needed to do.

The Qin Ruishi were already accustomed to such things.

The original residents of Panshi City were extremely excited.

They had never thought that dealing with infected ones would be so easy.

The performance of the Great Qin soldiers last night exceeded their expectations.

For these days, they had been unable to sleep every night.

They even had to go to the city walls to help resist the infected ones.

After all, their soldiers were not many to begin with, and not helping was not an option.

They helped resist the infected ones at night and were terrified during the day, their spirits not good either.

Those who didn't rest well felt their spirits were about to collapse.

But after the Great Qin soldiers arrived. ===== CHAPTER 1750 =====
