The terrain of this battlefield is excellent. A river flows from the left side of the battlefield. This river flows from the side of the valley town where they set off and flows from the City directly to the sea. The river is very turbulent in this place where it emerges, and only a very small number of zombies can threaten the flanks by going against the stream from the lower reaches of the river.
On the right side of the battlefield are some mountains. The rugged terrain limits the possibility of zombies charging in groups.
This time it was an all-out dispatch of human beings. If they die, they would die for a righteous cause. That's why Ryan saw that there were old, weak, sick, and disabled people in this group. Because fighting the zombies quickly in a full-blown decisive battle, absolutely can not be delayed. Otherwise, every warrior who dies will turn into zombies and will be added to enemy forces, and the tactics of grinding down opponents slowly has not worked before and will not work now.
At this time, Edward returned with his men. He said that near the suburbs, there were too many zombies and it was difficult to get in. There is really no way to go deeper and further investigate the specifics about zombies gathering speed and arrival.
Ryan volunteered at this time and was willing to try to investigate. He and Edward drove a robot to the nearest safe point near the city.
After reaching the safe point, Ryan fully launched his newly learned life magic. He immediately felt a large number of filthy unnatural creatures roaming in the entire city. He condensed his perception into a line and explored towards the city. Due to the new learning of magic and his inadequate level, this perception has distance limitations and is very vague, unable to distinguish specific units at all. But it is enough to perceive the distribution of zombies.
After learning that Ryan's scanning distance was limited, Edward manipulated the robot to roam around the city. After going around the city, Ryan roughly drew a map of the distribution of zombies in the city and marked a few points that he felt to have more filthy energy than the other places.
Maybe because of the presence of high-level zombies, Ryan felt that it was very likely that all the scattered zombies were attracted to the high-level zombies. Because in his perception, the approximate number of zombies definitely exceeds the population of the City before the disaster.
Back at the camp, Ryan told Dave what he had detected. Dave listened to their report and quickly asked Edward to rush back to the town to use the steamboat to get all the plants outside that could be used.
After the order was given, Dave turned to Ryan and thanked him for bringing the information. Because this information represents two news, one good and one bad. The good news is that these zombies may not attack within 48 hours so that the human army has enough time to build fortifications and prepare.
The bad news is that after the last time the zombies' beheading failed, the stronger zombies in the City have attracted a large number of zombies to strengthen themselves to survive this fragile stage. If these circumstances were not detected early this time, the human side would likely have suffered a big loss due to underestimating the numbers of enemy forces.
After that was the time for fortification construction, the human side operated robots to build high platforms and protective walls in the position, excavated a large number of trenches in front of the position to attract water from the river to flood the low-lying area in the front to make the swamp and slow down the zombie.
After the lunch, from the direction of the town, came the steamboat, loaded with a variety of plants, it is also thanks to Kenway, a veteran captain, who made it possible, the others did not have the confidence to sail in such a fast-flowing river.
"Don't these plants have a combat mode? Why do you want to get the plants from the main base(town)?" Ryan asked Dave.
"It's very simple. Plants can enter combat mode only in places with a lot of plants. Plants can't enter combat mode at all in this place. I didn't expect that there will be so many zombies. I also thought that plants on the robots will be enough to solve the problem. So I decided to save some plant seeds and wait until the city is regained before planting them."
"It is a pity that due to the current situation, we can only prepare for the worst by deploying these plants in this area. Not to mention that the efficiency of plants has declined due to combat mode. Street fighting in residential areas is fine for them. But In this kind of field situation, the original plants are more suitable."
After that, Dave distributed all the pots.
Ryan waited until noon the next day, and less than half an hour had passed after lunch, he was sitting in the tent practicing the magic of life left behind by the Vikings. An alarm bell rang from the high platform. Ryan rushed out of the tent and ran up the protective wall. He found a green indistinguishable zombie army walking towards the camp along the road.
Tens of thousands of zombies covered the small plain in front of the camp. Ryan could even see some particularly tall zombies swaying among the group of zombies.
Fortunately, after the overnight construction by more than 5,000 robots, the human camp has built enough fortifications, and the swamp in the forefront, and the surroundings of the camp is covered with potato mines. The Torchwood and various Peashooters are arranged in the trench, and there is a Wall-nut in front of the trench as a shield.
A seven- to eight-meter-high protective wall surrounds the core of the camp and connects to a ten-meter high platform. The protective walls and high platforms are filled with various pitcher plants and corn cannons. The height gives them a longer range and can protect the plants in the trenches from zombies. In addition, robots full of plants are operated by humans as a reserve team, ready to supplement places with insufficient firepower at any time.
Ryan's task in battle is to fight with the reserve team at the forefront, and help Dave commanding by the rear with the changes in the front at any time, to facilitate the quick adjustment of the forces on the human side.
Ryan found that the morale of the human side was quite high because this was their first counterattack. As for the fear, the end of the world has already scared them for so many years.
With the screeching scream of the zombies on the opposite side, the zombie group rushed over like a tide, and the war began. The first batch was just a few cannon fodder zombies and soon fell apart under the shooting of the plants. The next few batches only slightly increased the number of zombies, and they were wiped out before they could reach the trench. It seems that this should be a reconnaissance operation launched by advanced zombies, but Ryan also found that the zombies attack is far less organized than the one that Ryan encountered last time. This is probably because there are too few advanced zombies, causing them to be very rough.
The command centre of the zombie group seems to be not working well, this should be considered as a piece of good news for the humans.
Finally, at the beginning of the fourth wave of zombie attacks, a threatening assault was launched. They used a few Zomboni (The Zomboni applies ice, steam, and pressure to plants.) as their assault spearheads, and there is a row of All-Star Zombies (A heavy-duty zombie who charges your defensive line) behind them.
They rushed towards the human position, and because of their stronger defense, after suffering a certain loss, they passed through the swamp area and reached the vicinity of the first trench.
Seeing this situation, the reserve team followed by Ryan also left for the battlefield. They rushed to one of the zombie assault spearheads, preparing to destroy the wave of zombies through the advanced plants equipped on the robot.
