Most of the night the enemy had been pushed back and forced into a very small area. Wallace's forces had suffered very little in the push. Now they were taking defensive positions in the rubble that lined the city. His force was only 23 strong, but a good defensive position to hold.
The enemy would have to charge up the pile of rubble, allowing Wallace's team to direct large amounts of fire onto the enemy.
"Sir youz zink the badz guys aren't coming?" Deveraux asked looking over his position at the thin line the enemy held infront of the quarter master's office.
"I think they will Mister Deveraux," Wallace said scanning with his tricorder and picking up 190 lifesigns four meters outside the city. Then they heard the enemy over a loud speaker of sorts.
"The man in front of you shots. If he falls you pick up the rifle and carry on. The man in front of you shots. If he falls pick up the rifle and carry on.
No retreat, any man that retreats will be shot. Any man who runs away will be shot."
"My god Captain these people have no honor." K'Tag said aiming his rifle at the Mulluran lines.
A loud whistle blew and 100 screaming men charged ahead. Over half weren't armed. Wallace told his men to open up. The first shots dropped around 15 men. Wallace then ordered that grenades be thrown.
The replacements of the Mulluran army where slaughtered with in 2 minutes. Moans of the wounded where herd and that mad Wallace bow his head in shame.
K'Tag felt no honor in killing men in such a cold fashion. He replaced his power pack to his phaser rifle.
Then 100 more men then began to charge, this time all were armed. The enemy was taking heavy losses and where struggling to gain a foothold on the rubble. Richard knew now this was going to be a hand to hand fight.
Wallace tried to fire as much as he could until he saw a man 13 inches from his position Wallace quickly turned his rifle butt into a club, cracking the enemy soldier's skull open.
A heavy metal object hit Wallace's shoulder and dropped to the ground and bounced near Deveraux who was firing unaware of what fell next to him. "Grenade!" Wallace yield, dashing to pick it up. He grabbed it and threw into the oncoming enemy, within seconds it blew up.
Paul looked over at Richard who just saved his life. "Thanks."
"Don't thank me yet." Wallace turned around to see K'Tag killing three enemy soldiers then taking two on in hand to hand combat and killing them.
Richard then realized he had dropped his rifle and saw a enemy rushing at him. He pulled out his type 2 phaser and fired vaporizing the man. Paul then shouted. "Behind you Captain."
Wallace turned to see a rifle come at his head, he quickly fired again vaporizing the enemy. Wallace then made his way to the top seeing the enemy was being beaten. Richard quickly picked up his rifle.
"Deveraux take the left flank, K'Tag take the right. I'll lead the center."Richard was so excited and moved with aggression he didn't realize he made no sense.
"I mean charge for pete sake!" Wallace yield as he ran down the hill screaming like a wild Indian.
