maybe sofia wanted to reduce the amount monsters gao will have on his next turn, because after her turn, she would have only 1 card left in your hand and if she attack drum, gao would have called another size 2 or size 1 monster.

By attacking assault leader, she limited gao's options to only calling size 1 monsters.

But this is just my opinion. I might be wrong about this.
