The mountain roads are rugged and the vegetation is dense. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As Rafal said, the complex terrain of the Pine Ridge Mountains is not suitable for an army of the undead who can win by numbers. No matter how large the number is, once it is scattered into the vast mountains and wilderness, it will become extremely small.

Of course, if the expeditionary force of the death plane were to come in person, there would be many ways to face the situation in front of them. For example, if the Scourge Bone Dragon cooperates with the Crypt Beetle army to push all the way, no terrain advantage can cause them much trouble.

But now the two lords are only a group of local miscellaneous armies that have not been reorganized for a long time, and Kunke has a group of corpse beetle troops under him, but there are not many of them, only a few hundred, as their own personal guards, they are reluctant to send out to take the lead for the time being.

Although Kunko is anxious to find the opponent's main force for a decisive battle, it is not reckless as it comes from the undead regular army. After a moment of silence, its ugly mouth opened and closed and began to give its own orders:

"The front army divided 10,000 corpse warriors and began to launch a tentative attack. Don't seek results, try to break into the depths of the mountains and forests. The gargoyle troops all rose into the air, kept in touch with the ground pathfinders, and had to mark all the positions of the opponent's defenses when encountering an attack, and then concentrated the plague chariots for long-range bombardment. ”

Rafal nodded, and stepped back. Nominally, it and Kunko are the leaders of the Undead Legion, but in reality the control of the army is concentrated in Kunko's hands, and it is now a staff officer and herald at most.

Originally, Rafal also had about 13 million direct troops in his hands, but on the way here, Quunco placed all his men in those cities under the pretext that the captured cities needed to be rebuilt by the remaining troops.

In the seven cities of Zhangning Province today, there are more than 30 million undead garrisons stationed, and since Kunco himself has drawn more than 17 million men, Rafal knows that the other party is deliberately depriving him of military power, but he can't find an excuse to oppose it.

10,000 corpse warriors dressed in rotten iron armor and armed with miscellaneous weapons, under the command of a corpse warrior in the White Flame Period, rushed into the mountains and forests in a straggler.

They are just cannon fodder for pathfinding, so they don't care about casualties at all, and even if they receive orders to meet them, they can't stop fighting, but try to find out as much as possible about the opponent's defenses.

However, the expected attack did not appear immediately. The 10,000-headed corpse warriors searched a hill on the outskirts without encountering any attacks.

Could it be that the main force of the other side has already evacuated this mountain forest and gone to Wusong Province farther away?

Quenko's small eyes flashed with confusion, but as the manager, he didn't hesitate and immediately gave the order to let the striker move forward.

In addition to the 30 million undead army left in the city, there are now as many as 60 million troops in Kunke's hands. It divided its troops into three armies, the front, the middle and the rear, with 20 million troops each. At this moment, the front army attacked, rushing towards the hill that had already been explored.

The Pine Ridge Mountains are a national nature reserve, and the mountains are all undeveloped and pristine areas. However, the undead army is outnumbered, and in the process of advancing, all the vegetation that gets in the way is cut down.

In fact, Kunko didn't know that there was a force in his opponent at this time, so his order to cut down trees was mainly to prevent the opponent from setting fire to the mountain.

The 20 million undead army quickly razed the entire mountain to the ground, opening the first gateway to Pine Ridge. But Kun Ke led the remaining 40 million main forces, but they were still waiting quietly outside the mountain.

Kunko is also an experienced coach who is quite cautious in his use of troops. Although it didn't know what the idea of the Wang Qi side was playing, it maintained a steady pace, pressing step by step.

If you don't fight, my 20 million troops will be able to complete the strategic depth. If you respond to the battle, my 20 million troops will not be able to be eaten immediately even in the face of your main force, which in turn can bite you to death. Then the army will follow, and you will be forced to fight a decisive battle.

Taking a step back, even if you set a trap, only one-third of my strength will be trapped, and the rest of my main force will advance and retreat freely, whether it is rescue or retreat.

Quencor thinks his plan is seamless, but he misses an important point.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent leads to victory in a hundred battles. However, Kun Ke knew that he didn't know the other, Wang Qi didn't know that he used the power of the life camp in his hands, and Wang Qi allied with the power of the Reckless and Supreme camps, and it still didn't know.

All it knew was that at the beginning of the war, Wang Qi's troops were losing ground in front of it. In Kunke's eyes, Wang Qi's troops are just a group of rabble, without a war machine, without strategic and tactical guidance, and perhaps there are some strong people hidden in them, but whether it is quality or quantity, I am afraid that it will be far from itself.

Just after the front army occupied the mountain, the 10,000 cannon fodder soldiers who were in charge of exploring the road in the distance finally met fierce resistance.

In an adjacent mountain forest, a large group of undead warriors appeared. Dominated by skeleton shooters and skeleton warriors, they use dense vegetation as cover to attack pathfinders.

There were a lot of them, at least more than 30,000, and with the advantage of terrain and the first hand of the sneak attack, in just a quarter of an hour, the 10,000 corpse warriors had already lost seventy-seven, eighty-eight.

However, cannon fodder is only to play its due role as cannon fodder after all. Just as the more than 30,000 skeleton soldiers were busy encircling and suppressing the remaining corpse warriors, a series of thunderous roars began to be heard from the main formation of the Kunke army.

A thousand plague chariots opened fire, and countless corpse bombs leaped over the hill they were standing on, and smashed into the opposite mountain forest in a parabolic fashion.

Precisely marked by the gargoyle troops in the air, the plague chariot's attacks were precise and ruthless. In an instant, the woods where the other side ambushed their cannon fodder were like ploughed fields, and even the soil and rocks in the ground were turned over. The 30,000 skeleton warriors and skeleton shooters had no chance to evacuate, and were blown up into slag mixed in the dirt.

"Very good, send another 10,000 cannon fodder soldiers to explore the way. In addition, let the front army open up a flat land on the top of the mountain and mobilize five hundred plague chariots to go up the mountain. Hmph, condescendingly, several mountains around here are under our attack, and those guys who don't know whether to live or die will be sent to death no matter how much they come! ”

Kunko's eyes narrowed, and he smirked. Rafal on the side only shrugged his shoulders, and the current situation seems to be that the outcome of the battle will not be too unexpected.
