On the densely wooded mountainside, the coalition forces had a dispersed formation, with a ten-meter gap between individuals in all directions. This allowed for ample maneuvering space, so even if a grenade was accurately thrown, it could at most kill one person without hurting others. The scattered formation meant occupying a large space, combined with strong individual capabilities, they engaged in an orderly manner, with fifty or sixty men evenly matched against nearly a thousand on the hilltop.
Luo Zheng observed for a while and got a sense of the situation. In this stance, apart from continuing to hold out and consume the enemy, the coalition forces had no better way to extract themselves or attack. When the gunfire on the hilltop ceased, the coalition forces lost their target and could only hide behind the trees to recover their strength, not daring to retreat and expose themselves easily.
