While the Lizardmen were conducting aerial reconnaissance on Yan Xing's troops, Yan Xing was also observing the Lizardman army lying in ambush ahead through his phone.
In the midst of a series of muddy water pools lay a relatively narrow strip of forest.
To pass through this area of muddy pools, one had to traverse this forest strip.
The forest was perfect for setting up an ambush.
Even though Yan Xing couldn't see how the Lizardmen were positioned in the forest, it was likely a matter of... having the Poison Flies hide in the bushes and treetops, and allowing the monstrous lizards to lurk in the muddy waters. Once his troops entered the forest, the Poison Flies would attack from the center, monstrous lizards would emerge from the water on both sides to encircle them, and finally, the Lizardmen would lead the Snakehide Buffaloes in a full-scale assault to end the battle.
