While the Cancer Coalition was studying why the Vanguard Army was defeated, Li Ziyu was also studying how to deal with the upcoming coalition.
Li Ziyu knew without a second thought that the enemy would launch an attack during the day, and in order to prevent him from launching another sneak attack, the coalition forces would set up camp relatively far away, wait for a night, rest, and then attack the next day.
Liu Xingxing made a sand table and placed it in the center of the main hall of the Undead Fortress. Li Ziyu, Zhang Peng, and Liu Xingxing walked around the sand table, thinking about how to deal with each other.
"I feel that the other party should be stationed 10 kilometers away, so it is within this range." Zhang Peng stretched out his hand and pointed, drawing a circle above the sand table.
"Is there a passage leading to there?" Li Ziyu asked while looking at the sand table. The area drawn by Zhang Peng was a flat land with few hills around it.
"Yes, but the location is a little off. What are you going to do?" Zhang Peng thought for a moment, raised his head and asked.
His ratman fortress can travel underground, but the number of troops it can transport is limited. At most, it can only transport three to five thousand troops, and they cannot be elite heavy hammer skeleton warriors. Relying on a few thousand people to raid the enemy's camp of hundreds of thousands of people is obviously not a good choice.
Not to mention going without coming back, the effect will be very poor.
As for the 10-kilometer range, even if you want to send skeleton beasts like you do to the vanguard, it is unrealistic. What is coming this time is not the vanguard, but the main force. The surrounding security is many times stronger than that of the vanguard. It is estimated that the skeleton beasts have been discovered by the other side before they arrive.
"It doesn't matter. A little deviation is better. Just escort me there." Li Ziyu raised his eyebrows and said.
"Sure, no problem." Seeing that Li Ziyu was mysterious and unwilling to say anything, Zhang Peng didn't want to ask any more questions. Anyway, he would just do whatever Li Ziyu said.
After circling the map a few more times, the three studied several alternative plans, but they were not professional. All three of them were outsiders, let alone strategy and tactics. Except for Li Ziyu who liked to play real-time strategy games, the other two didn't even play real-time strategy games, so naturally what they could think of was limited.
Fortunately, they had stayed in the Ghost Mountains for a long time. Liu Xingxing and Zhang Peng often went out for a stroll and were familiar with the terrain nearby. What they predicted was right. The other party stopped 10 miles away and set up camp. The information was quickly delivered to Li Ziyu.
The coalition forces arrived in the afternoon and were busy all afternoon. The camp was connected and seemed much more standardized this time. The tents were also arranged relatively neatly. The tents of the Headhunters and Lizardmen were in the middle of the camp, and there were scattered goblins on the periphery to serve as defensive shocks to prevent undead attacks.
Just as Li Ziyu expected, a large number of scouts were sent out, some even reaching the Undead Fortress. However, the neatly arranged phalanxes of the Undead Skeleton Legion in front of the fortress made them dare not move forward.
Li Ziyu deployed the forces of five skeleton undead legions in the direction of the cancer coalition, arranging them in square formations of ten thousand people in neat rows. Although their combat effectiveness was a little lacking, their numbers were large and they were arranged neatly enough, which was quite intimidating.
The coalition forces set up camp and started cooking. They were not undead. They had come such a long way, it was impossible for them to attack the undead directly without taking a good rest. They were living creatures and would get tired and hungry. The earliest they would launch an attack would be tomorrow.
Palmida held a meeting with the coalition generals and the chiefs of each tribe, asking them to be extremely vigilant tonight and to ensure that the vanguard army was not ambushed again.
In fact, there was no need for Palmeda to remind them, as the generals and clan leaders all knew in their hearts that nighttime protection must be done well. Everyone knew that the undead were nocturnal creatures and were much more active at night than during the day.
Time passed little by little, night fell, stars twinkled in the sky, and bright moonlight shone on the wasteland.
In the alliance camp, there was a bustling atmosphere with people shouting and horses neighing. On the other hand, on the undead side, there was silence, so quiet that it was eerie. If it weren't for those twinkling soul fires, no one would have thought that it was the territory of the undead.
There will be an action tonight. Li Ziyu stayed in the fortress quietly for the first half of the night and did not get up until the early morning.
"Let's go, it's time to set off."
"Boss, are you sure that only 100 Hammer Warriors are enough?"
Before setting off, Zhang Peng couldn't help himself. When Li Ziyu told him that he would only bring 100 elite heavy hammer skeleton warriors, Zhang Peng objected. This was not a sneak attack on the enemy camp, this was a suicide mission!
No matter how powerful the 100 elite Heavy Hammer Skeleton Warriors are, what can they do? That is a camp of more than 300,000 troops. Let alone 100 Heavy Hammer Warriors, even if you are 100 dragons and rush into the camp of more than 300,000 people, they will find a way to kill you.
"It's okay, don't worry, just listen to me." Li Ziyu grinned, confident.
He had no intention of rushing into the enemy camp, he just wanted to take advantage of them. After all, those guys in the coalition were still living beings. Since they were living beings, they needed to rest, sleep, and conserve their energy. As long as they were not allowed to rest well, they would be reducing the enemy's combat effectiveness in disguise.
In ancient times, night raids were very common tactics. Was the purpose of night raids at that time really to win? In fact, most of the time it was not. The purpose was to cause chaos, prevent the enemy from resting, and reduce their combat effectiveness.
Li Ziyu wanted to do this. The opponent didn't get enough rest. If he launched a strong attack tomorrow, he would lose fewer undead and be able to delay the battle longer.
