At this stage, the Lei Ming Rifle was the main weapon of their Great Zhou army, but it might perform very poorly when attacking undead units.
Regarding this situation, Li Ce had undoubtedly held serious discussions with his deputy, Wei Qing, during the previous tactical meeting.
To a certain extent, this problem was unsolvable. Whether bows or rifles, neither worked well against undead units. That was one of the undead's advantages, something Great Zhou—or any normally developing power, for that matter—could not avoid.
After all, the undead were not exactly a race or power seen everywhere. They could even be called somewhat unorthodox. Who would have nothing better to do than specifically guard against such an obscure, unexpected move?
With that as the premise, in this steep mountainous terrain, having the soldiers put down their rifles, take up their battle blades, and engage the undead forces in close combat was clearly unrealistic as well.
Given the situation before them, they could only seek a breakthrough elsewhere.
Li Ce had already deployed his tactics in advance, so he was not flustered at this moment. In fact, he even seemed to have a few cards up his sleeve.
After leaving the desert's extreme environment behind, the undead's "old arms and legs"—their disadvantage of being slower and less agile than normal soldiers—was laid utterly bare on these steep mountains.
Not only did they advance slowly, but once they lost their balance or slipped beneath their feet, they would roll all the way down the mountain. Their poor balance and coordination were also revealed at this moment.
This gave the Great Zhou forces occupying the advantageous terrain ample time to make their deployments. Step by step, they proceeded with effortless ease.
Throughout it all, no matter how poor the results were, the rifles continued
