Subjected to yet another barrage of firepower, Mu Si immediately ordered a counterattack.
His operations meeting had not even concluded, and his three hundred thousand troops had not yet had time to deploy, when the artillery shells of the Yanlong Army came screaming in, landing with pinpoint accuracy right in the middle of the Elephant Country soldiers. Elephant Country possessed formidable firepower of its own, but comparing the precision of striking a target numbering one or two tens of thousands versus three hundred thousand was simply impossible; even with indiscriminate, carpet-bombing, the Yanlong Army could still strike the Elephant Country military with absolute accuracy.
The fifty thousand troops brought by Elephant Country from their homeland to the eastern region of Myanmar were already exhausted from a long-distance expedition, and upon reaching their destination, they failed to deploy in a timely manner—this was entirely the responsibility of the military commanders.
