Bab 521: Both Sides Taking A Step Back

Qin Silong continued to chart his own course, maintaining the army camp in the mountains for four days without any intention to launch an attack.

However, the nightly harassment of the enemy persisted.

Deputy General Lin, unable to command Qin Silong, found himself in a bind. Their official roles were relatively minor, and there was no formal designation of a commander's authority. Although, before departure, it wasn't explicitly stated that Deputy General Lin held command, on the surface, it was expected that he should heed Qin Silong.

All Deputy General Lin could do was expedite the situation report.

The round trip took four to five days.

On the fifth day, Deputy General Lin received orders, instructing him to personally lead the troops and initiate the first attack in front of everyone. Of course, Deputy General Lin could put on a show. During the assault, he could arrange for trustworthy individuals to protect him.
