So Zhou Xiaoyang instructed his subordinates to clean up the battlefield well, and then also buried the pot to cook, then returned to the improvised simple camp, fell down, and soon fell asleep.

After sleeping for more than three hours, Zhou Xiaoyang woke up, and at this time he finally felt that his energy had recovered a lot, and his brain was no longer as groggy as before.

After Zhou Xiaoyang made an inspection, he found that his subordinates had cleaned up the battlefield and made dinner, and most of them had already eaten dinner and returned to sleep in the camp.

In today's big battle, they eliminated more than 6,000 enemy troops, and they also lost more than 3,000 undead warriors, but after the battle, they collected more than 2,000 enemy corpses, and the reason why they only collected this corpse was because most of the other corpses were taken away by those retreating enemy troops, and it was obvious that those demons also understood that keeping the corpses would only allow the enemy to make more undead warriors from these corpses, so the corpses that could be easily taken away, those demons were taken away, only those who were too late to take away, It was collected by the soldiers under Zhou Xiaoyang's command afterwards.

After a hasty dinner, Zhou Xiaoyang summoned more than a dozen officers and non-commissioned officers who were still awake under him, and then discussed the tactics of the next few days with these people.

Zhou Xiaoyang is self-aware, knowing that he was once just a peasant child who didn't know a big word, so after entering the army, he worked very hard in learning, and after becoming an officer, he was also willing to listen to the opinions of his subordinates. Make enemy commanders elusive. Just like today's defensive battle, Zhou Xiaoyang also played some flowers, and the demons who taught Zhou Xiaoyang's methods for the first time also suffered a big loss, and in the battle against those undead warriors who can be called cannon fodder, the battle damage was actually more than that of the other party.

The top military leaders of the Blue Dragon Empire also saw Zhou Xiaoyang's ability in this regard, so they let such a low-level officer who was not strong in personal strength be promoted so quickly, and now he has become a major officer.

"Captain, I think those demons will definitely attack from the other two directions after the loss today, and we should also strengthen our defenses in these two directions..."

One of Zhou Xiaoyang's old subordinates was the first to speak, and this second lieutenant officer named Liu Qingyang pointed to the sand table in front of him and pointed to everyone present in the direction that the left and right sides of the hill had not been attacked today.

The frontal aspect of this hill is the gentlest part of the mountain, and even the cavalry can slowly climb up, so those demons are the first to choose the direction where the terrain is most favorable for them to attack today.

As for the left and right sides of the mountain, the mountain was much steeper, and there were many trees that had not been cut down, and the cavalry certainly did not want to pass through such a place, only the infantry could climb it. However, as long as the infantry can go up, it is enough, after all, in this kind of mountain attack battle, the infantry should have been the main force, and those demons saw that it didn't work in one direction today, and they suffered such a big loss, and it was indeed very likely that they would attack from these two directions together.

As for the back of the mountain, there is a small river, and there is a heavy defense under Zhou Xiaoyang, the demons can be said to hate water the most, so unless they have to, they will not attack from here, and what needs to be defended is the front of the mountain and the three directions on the left and right sides.

And then a lot of people put forward some other suggestions, some people think that they can be on the slopes of some more dangerous terrain, formally set up some low walls piled up of logs, gravel, dirt, etc., so that their own weak undead warriors in the battle with the enemy, have a cover to resist the enemy's long-range attacks, don't look at it is just a low wall, but because the enemy is attacking from the bottom up, this low wall can actually block a lot of attacks.

Then there were also people who proposed to use those relatively large trees and stones to make rolling wood and stones, and when the enemy army sent a large number of soldiers to attack, they would push these rolling wood stones down, and then these rolling wood stones would roll down the mountain, which would definitely kill and injure many enemy troops, and also disrupt the enemy's formation, so that they could be divided and destroyed.

Zhou Xiaoyang listened to the suggestions of everyone under him, and couldn't help nodding again and again, and wrote down those that he thought were good in the small notebook he carried with him.

After the night passed, several low walls had been built on the front of the hill and on the left and right sides of the hill overnight, and on the top of the hill, in addition to the small stone projectiles used in the simple catapults, there were many more stones the size of grinding discs, which had only been slightly polished, so that they barely had a circular outline, and could roll down smoothly to kill and injure the enemy. There are also those rolling logs, all of which are made of thick trees that are at least five or six meters long and large enough for one person to hug together, and there are many metal pieces inserted into the trunks, and the metal pieces on the scrapped swords collected during the cleaning of the battlefield yesterday make them even more lethal when they roll.

In addition to those thick trees, those smaller trees and even shrubs have been cut down by the undead warriors under Zhou Xiaoyang's command, and the coolies who don't need to rest and sleep are easy to use!

The trees were used to strengthen the low walls and make improvised catapults, and the shrubs, because most of them had sharp wooden thorns on them, were placed on top of the walls of the low walls by Zhou Xiaoyang, so that if those enemies tried to climb over the low walls, they would be accidentally pierced by the wooden thorns and covered in bloody holes.

The bare hill that was cut down by the undead looked particularly desolate, and at the same time, it was also cold in the hearts of the demon warriors who were ready to continue attacking the mountain, after all, those tireless undead warriors were indeed terrible, and it was only one night that this hill was transformed into this shape, and if it was a few days later, this hill bag would probably be forced into a strong fortress by those undead warriors.

With the order of the commander in the rear, although these demon warriors were very reluctant in their hearts, they still had to take heavy steps and began to slowly approach the small mountain bag.

As Zhou Xiaoyang guessed, this time the demons chose to attack from three sides, and each side sent about five thousand soldiers to participate in the attack.

Zhou Xiaoyang observed through the telescope that among the soldiers sent by the enemy this time, the proportion of demon warriors was higher, and the last time the demon warriors were at most one-fifth of the proportion, but this time the proportion of demon warriors was almost half, obviously the demon general was also very angry because of yesterday's defeat, and was ready to send elites to capture this small mountain bag in one fell swoop, so as to erase the shame of the previous defeat.

However, Zhou Xiaoyang and the human soldiers under his command naturally would not let him get his wish, and with Zhou Xiaoyang's order, the zombies on the top of the mountain who were responsible for controlling the catapult immediately began to shoot stone projectiles at the approaching enemy troops at the bottom of the mountain.

After the night passed, these improvised catapults were not just a dozen or so before, but hundreds of them were made in one go.

At this time, under full firepower, all of a sudden, those enemies felt what it was like to rain stones from the sky.

Even though the hoplites who were leading the way were all defending with their iron shields held high in their hands, every now and then some rocks would fall from between the gaps in their shields, smashing the demons and puppet soldiers to cry wolf.

As these enemy soldiers approached within a hundred meters of the first line of defense on the hill, the large number of skeleton crossbowmen on the hill also began to join the attack, and the same dense rain of arrows began to fall, making it more and more difficult for those enemy soldiers to advance, almost every step forward, soldiers would be killed, and the archers and mages in those teams soon did not dare to go out to attack, because the companions who had come out to attack before were killed by the continuous rain of stone bullets and arrows as soon as they came up.

By the time they finally approached the enemy's first line of defense, the total casualties of the demonic attack force in the three directions had exceeded 2,000 men.

However, these guys are not the elite of the enemy army, even if the casualties are not small, but the morale is still not much low, and after approaching the front of the defense line, they immediately start a fight with the zombie pikemen stationed there.

Fighting face-to-face with these elite enemies with high strength and excellent combat skills, those zombie pikemen even if they rely on the gun array and fight in formation, they still quickly fall into the upper hand, and basically need to lose three zombie pikemen to be able to barely fight to kill an elite enemy soldier.

But even so, those enemy troops still felt that the battle loss ratio was too unreasonable, and under the loud shouts of several demon officers, among the attacking troops in three directions, there were more than a dozen long-horned demons who were at least three meters tall and came to the front of the formation.

Because of their tall stature and incredible brute strength, these long-horned demons are all heavily armored and armed with heavy weapons such as long-handled battle axes and war hammers, making them the best melee fighters in the demon army.

After coming to the front of the formation, these long-horned demons were able to smash or bend the large spear shafts in front of them with a strong swing of the long-handled battle axes and war hammers in their hands, and then with a single blow, they were able to smash out the cracks on the low wall that was only about 1.5 meters high.

After three or five strokes, the spears in the hands of a large number of zombie pikemen in front of him will be damaged, and the low wall in front of them will also be smashed, and then these long-horned demon heavy infantry can be full of firepower, frantically waving the weapons in their hands, constantly smashing left and right, and quickly punching the originally tight gun formation one after another, and other enemy troops are also taking the opportunity to keep up, wanting to completely break through the enemy's first line of defense.

After Zhou Xiaoyang saw this scene on the top of the mountain, he decisively ordered the use of those rolling wood stones that were originally used as the finale killing weapon.

So with the order, the undead warriors who were fighting the enemy in front of the line retreated to both sides, even if the enemy's swords were about to cut at them. At the same time, on the top of the mountain, zombies were already pushing the rolling wood and stones that had been prepared long ago, so that these big guys began to roll down the mountain.

At the beginning, the rolling stones were relatively slow, but as time went on, the speed of these things became faster and faster, and even the horses could not catch up with the high-speed gallop.

On the hillside in front of the hill, a horned demon about six meters tall was the first to tear apart the gun array in front of him, and then he continued to swing the long-handled war hammer in his hand, laughing wildly while frantically smashing all the enemies in front of him.

But suddenly, the enemy troops began to retreat to both sides, and the long-horned demon with a weak brain thought that it was because he was too brave, so even these undead warriors were frightened by him and began to take the initiative to get out of the way.

It was not happy for a few seconds when it heard a loud rumbling sound from above, and when it looked up, it saw that it was actually a boulder the size of a millstone, which was rapidly rolling down the mountain, and was about to roll down in front of it.

Seeing this, the long-horned demon subconsciously waved the war hammer in his hand, wanting to smash this boulder into the air, but the boulder that had already accumulated its potential energy to a terrifying level in the rolling acceleration was something it could resist with this hasty hammer.

As the war hammer collided with the boulder, the long-horned demon immediately felt a huge force coming from above, causing its tiger mouth to be torn apart instantly, and the war hammer in its hand was also shocked out of more than ten meters away, smashing the head of a demon warrior behind him.

The boulder quickly rolled and smashed on the left leg of the long-horned demon, only to hear a click, the long-horned demon's left leg bone was easily smashed by the boulder, and the long-horned demon also screamed in pain, and his body fell involuntarily.

Before it could get up again, another log rolled down and smashed into the horned demon's head, smashing its helmet into a dent in an instant, and the horned demon's tall and muscular body completely lost its breath after a few convulsions.

The rolling stone that hit its left leg bounced high, and then flew two or three meters away before falling heavily, smashing several demons and puppet soldiers into a pile of meatloaf, and then it continued to roll and jump all the way down the hill, leaving a bloody corpse of the enemy along the way.

As soon as the enemy soldiers in the rear figured out what was happening in front of them, they immediately began to run wildly, trying to avoid the rolling wood and stones.
