Chapter 318 Li Ce's Thoughts

The three forces reunited, and at the moment when the Lizardmen army had locked onto the location of the Elf Village, although the pterosaur rider was dead, the advance of the Lizardmen army was already something that could not be stopped.

It would take about two to three days to get from the Lizardmen's previous position to the Elf village, considering their speed.

The time left for them to consume the enemy was limited, so how could they have time to return to the village to rest? So from the beginning, they had planned not to return to the village and spend the whole time outside fighting the enemy.

As for the soldiers who were so seriously injured that they could no longer continue fighting.

They set up a simple stronghold completely away from the route of the Lizardman army. They arranged horse-drawn carriages in the stronghold. The carriages were provided by the grassland village, and the horses were provided by the elf village. They could send the wounded back for treatment in time.

The strategy of focusing on attrition basically avoided head-on confrontation. Neither Drogo nor Silk's men suffered serious injuries.

Under this premise, relying on the fact that they had tricked the opponent's dragoons into staying far away, Drogo and his men successfully consumed two more rounds in the subsequent consumption process.

But no matter how hard they try, there is no need to say who has made the greatest contribution in this wave.

The death of the pterosaur rider was of great strategic value to them, and it could directly bring greater benefits to their next actions, so he should be the first to be credited! After arranging to send the wounded soldiers back for recuperation, the three forces, who had also taken a break and treated their wounds, began to discuss the next course of action.

Without the presence of the pterosaur riders, their next attack could be more aggressive.

"Okay, let's do it!"

After finalizing the tactics, Silk was about to take action. Seeing this, Li Ce quickly grabbed him.

"Calm down!"

"We don't have much time!"

Silk's tone when he said this was filled with impatience that he couldn't hide at all.

Li Ce expressed his understanding of Silk's situation. After all, if the large army of Lizardmen continued to advance, the elven village would be the first to bear the brunt.

This pressure has always been on Silk.

Just because he appeared to be relatively calm and composed before, it didn't mean that he was in a relaxed state.

Especially after seeing the massive battle of the Lizardmen, his psychological pressure became even greater.

At this moment, Li Ce had no intention of trying to persuade or appease the other party, but just stated the matter at hand...

"I know we don't have much time left, and our actions today won't end here, but even if we have to take action, it's definitely not now!"

While pulling Hill back, Li Ce continued speaking...

"We just launched an attack. The Lizardmen must still be on alert. If we attack them now, we probably won't achieve much."

"Instead of this, we might as well take advantage of this time to rest. The Lizardmen will continue to waste their energy because they have to stay alert the whole time."

"We have time to rest, but the Lizardmen have wasted more energy. If we take action later, won't the effect be better?"

Li Ce did not doubt Silk's strength. At the same time, from the perspective of some tactical command, the other party also did an excellent job.

In several operations, the elven cavalry led by him performed the cavalry archery tactics with ease.

But whether it was Silk, Drogo, or Ye Jinghong, when they launched their tactics, they all started from the current battle situation. Li Ce was different. His attention was on the opponent's commander, and he would habitually think about what the other party was thinking.

He will try to figure out the other person's psychology, predict their actions, and make adjustments in advance.

The Silks seldom fought with the enemy. Their riding and archery skills were mostly honed through hunting ferocious beasts. Coupled with the outstanding abilities of the elves themselves, they were able to perform so well.

Essentially, it means "adapting to circumstances and dealing with them as they arise."

Li Ce's perspective at this time was something he had never thought of. He was stunned for a moment, and then he felt that what he said did make some sense.

By the time he came to his senses, he had already sat down again.

While letting the soldiers get enough rest, several generals got together and began to discuss further some points that needed to be paid attention to in the next action.

The main thing is to make some plans in advance for some unexpected situations that may occur.

Afterwards, before dark, Li Ce called on Silk and Drogo to launch the second round of attacks of the day.

“Woo——”

Amid the dull sound of horns, the shouts of the lizardmen rose one after another.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"

Along with the loud shouts, the opposing Swift Cavalry quickly rushed over and without saying a word, launched an encirclement tactic against the cavalry team led by Li Ce.

Li Ce had faced situations like this many times, and now he handled it with ease and with a sense of familiarity.

He paid little attention to the dragoons that were flanking him from both sides. He just kept the distance between them and commanded the cavalry to shoot arrows to suppress the enemy cavalry that was rushing towards him.

The opposing Raptors couldn't figure out what he was up to at the moment, plus they themselves weren't very good at thinking, so they just charged in and done with it.

Unexpectedly, before they could get completely close, Silk and Drogo, who had already completed the detour on the two flanks, appeared and began to suppress the dragoons on the flanks.

This sudden situation caused a commotion on the other side.

"Damn it, they didn't separate this time, they got together!!"

The velociraptors realized that something was wrong and began to shout to warn their companions.

In order to prevent the previous incident from happening again, after Li Ce and his men showed up, the guard forces scattered around the large army of Lizardmen were not all transferred here at once.

Originally there was nothing wrong with this arrangement, but once all the enemies appeared in one place, their deployment became a simple dispersion of troops.

The assembly signal was sounded with the horn, urging the scattered dragoons to come to support.

But Li Ce and his men would not wait for the reinforcements to arrive. The three forces directly formed a larger fan-shaped formation, which brought the swift cavalry who originally tried to outflank Li Ce and his men into their attack range.

“Shoot!!!”
