As the Ladakhi soldiers retreated, Captain Ayush seized the opportunity to descend with his force of 120 men. They brought along their five Falcon cannons, leaving behind their rockets and other supplies, fully prepared for an offensive strike. However, unbeknownst to Ayush, the group now numbered 119, as a veteran sergeant had discreetly sent one soldier to report to the higher-ups.
Midway to their target stockade, the group halted at a distance of 700 meters.
"All units, halt!" Captain Ayush commanded, raising his hand.
He took a moment to survey the terrain. Moving upward and out of the safety of their elevated position, they were now exposed to the enemy. The hill they descended from had previously offered a natural defensive advantage, but the new terrain was far less forgiving.
Important annoucement: Apologies for dealy. For those who don't know, recently I got married and I have decided to temporarily pause the book for 3-4 months. I thought earlier that after marriage I can give my book full time but it was my naive mistake. sometimes things are out of control and so is my situation. I know many of my book readers wont be pleased by the outcome but i dont want to publish trashy chapters just for publishing shake. since, I am writing historical fiction so I often need to research a lot before adding them to story and I hope they would be patient and understanding. I assure that the story is still far from complete and shall continue. Untill then I hope to still have my book in their collection. Thanks for vote and kind support. :)
