Chereads / Horses in the Falcon / Chapter 357 - 11

Chapter 357 - 11

The farm is dominated by a central, two-story building that has clearly been reinforced with a wall of sandbags around the bottom and strips of makeshift armor plates hanging from the upper windows. Primitive, but probably effective. Smaller outbuildings are scattered around the dusty ground: garages, storage bins, and animal coops. Vehicles stand abandoned, doors hanging open as their occupants fled.

The last of the rebel fighters are running for the central building. You don't see any non-combatants, and intel reported that this position was cleared of civilians more than a week ago. It's a rebel hideout, masquerading as a farm.

Before you make the main assault, though, you need a better idea of what you're up against. Your platoon is going to have to cross an open field of crops before they can attack the central building, and you've already seen how that can go.
