The enemy was defeated like a landslide on the battlefield, fleeing in panic. The resting troops at the rear didn't understand what was happening. The experienced Commander saw this scene and quickly ordered the troops to stop retreating and conceal themselves for defense. But in the dark, everyone was panicked, unaware of how many opponents there were. The strange cries from the Hook Tribe intensified their anxiety, making them unwilling to stop and fight back.
If it were direct orders from officers, it would be better. The military command is absolute, and the troops would obey. However, this Commander and the retreating troops belonged to different units and had no hierarchy. The panicked defeated troops wouldn't listen and continued withdrawing. This messed up the formation of the resting troops. The Commander wanted to directly use machine guns on the defeated troops and then instruct his troops to counterattack, but dared not give that order.
