Ali Dai Yi, following a rope swung over the parapets, climbed up to the lookout tower behind the earthen walls. Through the "Observation Mirror" installed up high, he distinctly saw what kind of Beamon warriors were approaching the open field in front of him. These warriors all had comically large noses, and were short, sturdy, and solidly built, without any cavalry.
Upon seeing this, Ali Dai Yi straightened up and laughed a little. In fact, he had already been informed by the scout cavalry that the enemy had no cavalry, but Mojie still wanted to confirm it one more time. Now with an accurate assessment, Ali Dai Yi already considered his victory assured—if the enemy chose a frontal assault, then two thousand camel cavalry within the oasis would trample them into the mud, just as Lord Rommel had achieved in the past. Ali Dai Yi did not believe the enemy would detour foolishly: with infantry baring their weak flanks, they would be like roast meat in an oven to the cavalry.
