Due to carrying a large amount of captured equipment, and having lost their leader while avoiding the Terror Demons roaming the surrounding area, the group of eight returned at a much slower pace than when they arrived.
It took nearly 4 hours for everyone to get back to Junshan Bridge, and by this time, fierce battles were still happening on the bridge.
A large number of Terror Demons crowded the western side of the bridge, while Han Shui City's City Defense Army lined up on the eastern side. The soldiers, dressed in rattan armor and wielding various weapons, formed three ranks. Whenever the Terror Demons attempted to charge across the bridge, they were repelled by a volley of shots.
After firing, the soldiers in the first row would quickly retreat to the back, reloading while the soldiers in the front continued to fire, maintaining suppressive fire.
