Zhao Yu carefully selected his arsenal, excluding many high-casualty weapons.
After all, a battle involving a thousand people is not a small-scale operation in this post-apocalyptic.
It could attract the attention of several nearby cities.
In this battle, we should defeat them honorably, with no more military force
than they have…
Zhao Yu stroked his protruding beard, feeling that this task was not difficult.
In terms of manpower, he had over a thousand soldiers on his side, fearless of death.
Most importantly, he could use a signal jamming device to disrupt the enemy’s radio communications, cutting off their real-time communication during the battle.
In contrast, his side had a supreme commander and commanders at various levels. Without walkie-talkies, they could meticulously execute the battle plan.
Zhao Yu quickly brought out a map and started to study it.
The battleground definitely couldn’t be at his camp.
He had just started to establish a bustling commercial area there and he didn’t want to see it destroyed.
While without finding a suitable location, Zhao Yu called over a General of Brigade and asked for suggestions on where to initiate the battle.
The commander studied the map for a moment, then pointed his index finger towards a central area.
” Right here…”
“This is an abandoned town that has been cleared out. When the Han family’s
army marches here, they will choose to camp here…”
Compared to camping directly in the wilderness, it’s obviously easier to station in such an abandoned town, as there are buildings to provide shelter from the wind and rain.
At the same time, a commander’s signal can cover an extremely wide area, up
to ten kilometers.
This impressive range means he could command every soldier and officer from
the rear.
Following the his commander’s advice, Zhao Yu began to deploy his troops.
In addition to standard military equipment, he also equipped his army with two tanks, matching with the Han family’s troop.
Additionally, there were various conventional weapons like mortars and rocket launchers.
In terms of numbers, Zhao Yu took only eight hundred people.
The remaining two hundred as usual, stayed to guard the camp and base.
After the negotiations at Wild Wolf Town, he had withdrawn all his forces.
The soldiers stationed at the shelter were also called summoned back and they locked the shelter’s main door before leaving. Without his people, no one could open it.
A thousand-person battle requires a lot of weapons, equipment, and logistical support. Naturally, the movements here couldn’t be hidden from the camp.
Many people were curious, wanting to know what Zhao Yu was up to.
Meng Xian was also alarmed and rushed over in the middle of the night. When Meng Xian saw that Zhao Yu’s shoulder rank had changed from General of Brigade to a Major General.
She realized that Zhao Yu’s promotions were happening rapidly. When she first met him, he was just a squad leader, Corporal. But in no time, he became a Sergeant, then Centurion, General of Brigade commander, and now even a thousand-man commander.
But… do you really have that many soldiers to command?!
Meng Xian couldn’t help but wonder inwardly and then asked, “Zhao Yu, I see a lot of activity here, is something going on?”
Zhao Yu glanced at her and replied indifferently, “Preparing for war…”
“War?!”
Meng Xian was startled, “With whom?”
“The Han family. It should be no problem, right? I’ve talked to their people. The Han family will continue to receive their weapon production line as usual…”
“Ha ha!” Zhao Yu laughed.
“You’re too naive!”
“Ah?”
Meng Xian was confused.
“Do you think those few people you negotiated with can represent the Han family?”
“Can’t they?” Meng Xian was a bit puzzled. Those few people could represent the Han family in weapon transactions with Wild Wolf Town, so they must have some power.
In her eyes, such characters were significant figures.
At the very least, she wouldn’t even have the chance to meet such people on a regular day.
“They are nothing in the Han family. They don’t have a say there!” Zhao Yu shook his head, not bothering to explain the reason to Meng Xian.
However, Meng Xian could sense Zhao Yu’s determination.
He didn’t even consider messenger important?
Was Zhao Yu really has someone backing him up now?
However, regarding this war, Zhao Yu could share some details with Meng Xian.
“The Han family has dispatched troops, a thousand men, already on their way, and will reach us in a maximum of three days…”
The Han family’s expedition wouldn’t all be on foot. Besides the thousand soldiers, they also deployed a large number of troop transport vehicles. Although the Han family didn’t take this battle seriously, it was still a matter concerning the status of the Han family.
The whole Black Rock City was paying attention to this major event, and naturally, they hoped to win it impressively.
“What?!”
Meng Xian was taken aback. “How is that possible?”
Her perspective was ultimately limited. On a regular day, she would lead a dozen people into the old city to scavenge, and she had never organized a battle involving even a hundred people.
Hearing that the Han family had sent a thousand troops, she was immediately petrified with fear.
War!
Zhao Yu couldn’t help but recall the moment he first met Meng Xian a few weeks ago. Her valiant and impressive appearance seemed extraordinary.
Now, it seemed, she was just a normal woman.
“I sent people to infiltrate Black Rock City and got intelligence. The Han family’s expedition this time consists of six hundred directly family troops and four hundred from the Knight Mercenary Group…”
“What!?”
Not so much by the six hundred troops of the Han family, strong as they were, but that wasn’t her focus..
