1217 I Knew That There Was Something Strange (2/2)
12,000, what kind of concept was that? If if the entire 5,000 troops on Silver Frost's side stood there and let themselves be killed, they would have to be killed 2.5 times to make up for the difference!
”Alright, everyone. Retreat back here first.” Seeing that the fortress was done, Hong Dali finally gave the order to retreat. ”Retreat and defend here, wait for them to attack. By that time, we can just wait and collect their headcounts, hehe.”
They were finally able to retreat. The 3,000 people who were attacking the resurrection point all retreated to the fortress. While waiting for Silver Frost to attack, they could also use this time to take a good rest.
After all, this was really a tough battle. Even though this was in the virtual world, their mental strength was still very nervous and tense during the battle. They indeed needed to relax now.
Very obviously, Silver Frost's side was thinking the same thing. After successfully occupying the resurrection point, they didn't rush down to attack them. Instead, they rested around the resurrection point on the mountain.
”Boss.” Wales sat beside Silver Frost, looked at the map, and said, ”We have already occupied this important spot. As for the next step of action, my suggestion is to check the situation first. I took a look just now. Only 3,000 people from Hong Dali's side were in the battle just now, and the whereabouts of the remaining 2,000 people are unclear. Therefore, we mustn't rush and take things one step at a time.”
”Yup, you are right.” Speaking up to this point, he looked at the map carefully and calculated the terrains shown. Shortly later, he squinted his eyes and said, ”Since they didn't fight with us for this spot full force just now, it's possible that they retreated to the road down the mountain. According to Hong Dali's usual style, he probably built a barricade or such there. Remember the motorcycles in the Astral Genius Battle? This fellow is good at using things that other people don't think of.”
”Probably so.” Wales frowned, then said, ”Then, I think that the next thing we should do is to reinforce our base and backline. I advise that we should send a team of 500 to patrol our backline to prevent Hong Dali from attacking the resurrection points. As for the remaining 4,500 people, send 500 to scout the road ahead. After everything is clear, we can then plan our next course of action.”
Silver Frost instantly nodded and said, ”Yup, your advice is quite good. Let's do as you said.”
Therefore, both parties sent people to stand guard for the night while the others rested and prepared for the second day's battle.
At night, Kong and You Muming intended to look for Hong Dali to ask him about his future plans. But the result was that Hong Dali was actually sleeping like a pig, hugging Tang Muxin and resting his head on Li Nianwei's legs—could they disturb him seeing such a scene? Definitely not, right? Therefore, both of them were depressed…
”Kong, do you think Brother Dali's way of fighting this war will actually succeed?” You Muming softly asked, ”Silver Frost isn't that dumb. Now that the fortress has been built, he won't forcefully attack us, right? If not, won't he be giving up the advantage he built up previously?”
”I think so, too.” Kong felt very puzzled about Hong Dali's strategy. ”It isn't wrong to build this fortress. It can help to stabilize our base and backline. But there isn't enough attacking power, so we can only hide here. There isn't any hope of attacking them.”
5,000 versus 5,000. If both sides fought head-on, the difference in power would basically be very small. Even if Gu Feifei was invincible, her strength was suppressed to the limit on this battlefield. 10 plus people were enough to kill her. Therefore, if the two armies fought head-on, the result would be both sides suffering heavy casualties. There was rarely any exception to this.
”Forget it, I think Brother Dali probably has some other ideas.” You Muming shook his head and said, ”We can't understand the logic of a godly person, let's just wait and see. All we have to do is just to follow his command. That's all.”
”Yup, that's all we can do now.” Kong nodded.
…
The night passed very quickly and the second morning had come.
”Dali, quick, wake up.” Tang Muxin woke up very early and came out of Hong Dali's arms. She looked around and hurriedly pushed Hong Dali, saying, ”Quick, wake up, the Sun is up. We must be careful of the enemy's surprise attack!”
”Ah, what are you afraid of.” Hong Dali wasn't in the least worried. ”Even if Silver Frost came, he will only send a small group to scout around first. It isn't possible for him to directly attack with his main army, right? Don't worry, that's impossible…”
Saying so, he tossed around and continued to sleep!
What the heck! Tang Muxin really felt like kicking him awake, but after careful thinking, his words indeed made sense…
Indeed, it was just like what Hong Dali said. Silver Frost only sent a team of 500 to charge down from the mountain. This small group of people very quickly came in front of the fortress. Standing at a distance of 100 meters apart, they looked at the fortress that was 10 plus meters high…
They didn't even dare to attempt to attack and directly turned around and ran back.
”What did you say?” Silver Frost asked the captain of the group. ”Hong Dali built a fortress on the road in front? He blocked the entire road and there's no way of going around it!?”
”That's right.” The captain nodded and said, ”The entire road is completely blocked. Without any siege machines, I feel that our chances of attacking the fortress are very slim.”
Silver Frost sucked in a deep breath—damn it, I knew that there was something strange. As expected, this fellow actually built a fortress. And in so short a time!
