Baron, Roxi, Guan Yu, and Yue Fei had all decided to retreat all of their forces into a single base, the one that they had bought originally. This was what they had been planning all along, it was quite a bit more difficult to engage in 4 different battlefields than it was to have them all in one place where they were all accounted for. In preparation for this huge fiasco, they had to send out a few armies to give them a bit more time to set up all the necessary precautions. Though this would come at a heavy loss, if Baron and his team did not at least sacrifice this much, they would have no chance of winning.
The alliance's 4 armies regrouped for a short while to discuss what their battle plans would be and Zhang Da Zhi did nothing more than to reassure them that this battle would be a quick one. His army would attack the base from the South, his two right-hand men would take the East and West sides, and the group of 20 strategists would attack from the North. What was different about this time was that now, all 4 armies, would be going on the offensive as mercilessly as they could.
On Baron's side, Guan Yu was to take 3 of Meng Wu's men to defend the Southern wall of the base. Yue Fei would do the same but along the East wall, his opponent would be Ding Lai Hang the aerial commander of the Combined Dragon group. Baron would also do the same but along the West wall against the naval leader of the Combined Dragon group. Roxi and Meng Wu along with 10 of Meng Wu's men would defend the final Northern wall. The 4 walls did not have many soldiers to go around between them, but they did have quite a few heavy artillery that would prove to be as useful as a couple of thousand soldiers.
They had spread out their defenses to what they predicted their enemies would be doing and had multiple tanks, deepstrikes, missiles, mines, and various other traps that were set up around the walls of the base. The battle began with the soldiers of the alliance attempting to breach all 4 of the walls along with many vehicles that were right there charging along with them. There were pockets of small forests around the base that they had to get through in order to reach the walls, but those were minor inconveniences at best.
Zhang Da Zhi ordered his men to split up into two groups, one that would attack the walls, and another that would stay behind and provide assistance to the first group if needed. He wasn't aware whether or not the other armies were doing the same thing, but he chose to focus on just his own battles. After all, the strategists that were in this alliance with him were not completely useless. On the front lines, he did not send in any elite guards, nor did he send in any fighters, he solely relied on the soldiers and machinery for the first day of the war.
The first day ended with nothing big happening on any sides and the leaders of the alliance got together with each other to discuss their thoughts on how the war should proceed from this point on. Zhang Da Zhi, Ding Lai Hang, Wu Ji Guang, and the other 50 strategists got together to plan out their next few moves.
(ZDZ) "Any thoughts on how Baron and the rest of them are doing after a day of battle? Anyone?" Zhang Da Zhi asked into the group of 50+ that were all gathered into a makeshift tent sitting on a table with a map of Baron's base on top.
(WJG) "There really isn't that much to say, we should just keep doing a war of attrition and we should be able to come out on top eventually. We have sufficient forces guarding our rears in case there are any fools who think that we would be vulnerable in a position like this. So there are really no worries." Wu Ji Guang stated his opinion.
(DLH) "The way I see it, we should just throw everything we have at them from the next day onwards and we should be able to break them in but a few days to weeks at most. There really is no point in dragging this out any longer than we have to." Ding Lai Hang also spoke out.
"From what we saw on the North walls today, our enemies are a bunch of brutes and someone who shows how inexperienced they are at warfare. The Northside should pose no viable threat to our chances of success." A random strategist briefed everyone.
(ZDZ) "That is extremely good to hear, but you must not get complacent. Though we outnumber them, we have no idea what their blueprint situation is and therefore it is always best to proceed with caution."
(QJG) "I think you are overreacting, Old Zhang. This poor group had the misfortune of being in our sights from the get-go. With how they handled the situation knowing that we would be upon them soon, they still chose to hunker down for a long time until they finally got the brains to figure out what they needed to do some conquering before we arrived."
(DLH) "Exactly, exactly. If it were up to me, we should have attacked with all of our strength from the beginning, then we could begin to focus on the much bigger opponents."
(ZDZ) "This does not really matter now, we cannot change the events of our past. However, the task at hand now is of the utmost importance, breach those walls and shows them that we are more superior to them in every way. If even one side is not able to break through their respective walls in 2 weeks' time, punishments will follow. From this point on, we will cease most communications, and everyone will focus on their own battlefields. Get to your positions."
