Chapter 468: Control

On the Great Zhou side, under Zhou Xu's operation, apart from some minor episodes, it still maintained stable development, with neither breakthroughs nor setbacks.

But invisibly, he also felt like he had been busy for a long time but in vain...

At the same time, on the other side of the world, just as planned before, Li Ce had no intention of shrinking like this all the time.

After the battle, Li Ce took a week off and quickly began to deploy his troops on the plain.

Those lightly wounded cavalrymen were now able to put on their equipment and form patrols to conduct patrols on the plains as usual, and their mission was limited to this.

The patrolling cavalry was just part of Li Ce's "bluffing", and he had no intention of actively letting the cavalry take further action.

As for being passive, that means you have no choice but to respond after the other party has taken action. There is nothing you can do about it.

After the cavalry team started patrolling, Li Ce focused his deployment on the infantry units, making it seem as if he was about to attack the rainforest area.

Of course, Li Ce had no intention of actually attacking at this moment.

The mountain soldiers on the front line who are good at fighting in complex natural environments can only be gathered into 50 people at most.

During this period, Zhou Chongshan, a core general who is also capable of leading infantry units in combat, is still recovering from his injuries. It would be too risky to let the infantry units launch an offensive against the rainforest area at this critical juncture.

So, to put it bluntly, his current series of actions are intended to scare the other side so that after discovering their actions, the other side will take a defensive stance on their own initiative.

In this way, the opponent will not take the initiative to attack, but will only be fully alert and defend.

They won't actually attack.

Invisibly, it not only consumes the opponent's energy, but also gives our side more time to catch its breath.

This kind of operation that likes to grasp the opponent's psychology can be said to be very much in Li Ce's style.

Back then, as a tribal warrior who "charged into battle", Li Ce's talent for "attacking the mind" could only be used to talk trash to his opponents in head-on combat and change their mentality, so that he could find their flaws and kill them. The advantage of this talent could never be fully utilized.

But as long as he is placed in the position of a general, his advantage in "attacking the mind" can cover an entire military operation at once!

Above the sky, the pterosaur rider saw the actions of the Great Zhou troops below and immediately flew back to report the situation.

Looking at the pterosaur rider who disappeared at the end of his sight in the blink of an eye, Li Ce sneered inwardly.

If the opponent's reconnaissance unit is used well, it can also provide them with some "help" appropriately.

The distance from the plain area to the lizardmen's front-line camp in the rainforest area was not far. The pterosaur riders could ignore the influence of the terrain and move more efficiently. They soon came to Soros and reported to him everything they had seen.

Only a week had passed since the last war, and Soros was slightly surprised by the opponent's actions again.

With the Pterosaur Riders as an aerial reconnaissance unit, he certainly knew that the other side had infantry troops, but he did not expect that the other side would be so strong at this time, as if they were full of confidence.

At this moment, Soros did have other ideas in his mind, but no matter what, out of caution, he immediately ordered the strengthening of patrols and deployment arrangements on the rainforest defense line, and asked the pterosaur riders to continue to keep an eye on the opponent's every move and come back to report to him at any time.

Soros, who had just suffered a major defeat and was cleaning up the mess made by their high priest, had no choice but to be cautious.

From this moment on, Soros had fallen into Li Ce's trap.

Looking at the pterosaur rider flying back, Li Ce will undoubtedly need to take follow-up actions.

If he just casually mobilized the troops but did not take any further action, then no matter how stupid the other party was, they would realize that he was bluffing.

So even if he was pretending, he had to pretend to be more assertive, at least so that the other party wouldn't be able to react as soon as he turned around.

In this way, the logistics troops prepared the carriages and the infantry troops were ready to go, and under the escort of two teams of cavalry, they advanced towards the rainforest area that day.

Seeing this, the pterosaur rider in the air hurried back to report the situation.

After learning the latest situation, Soros frowned. Seeing this, the pterosaur rider below added another sentence...

"But they didn't move very fast, and they didn't seem to be in any hurry at all."

However, the pterosaur rider's supplement made Soros more certain that the other side might be serious! Infantry troops cannot move as fast as cavalry. They need to consider the physical condition of the infantry. If they use all their energy to rush on the road, how can they have the energy to launch an attack later?

Therefore, from Soros's perspective, the efficiency of the advance was neither hurried nor slow, which highlighted stability. The more the opponent behaved like this, the stronger the opponent's offensive intention was! At this time, if possible, he really wanted to send a troop of dragoons to launch harassment attacks on the advancing enemy troops.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But unfortunately he can't do it now.

It cannot be said that he has no swift cavalry left, but even if he pieced together some troops from here and there, he could only put together a small team.

The other side had sent two teams of cavalry to escort them. If he sent a small cavalry team there, he would be courting death.

At this point, Soros obviously had no other choice but to defend the rainforest line and act accordingly.

This plain is indeed easy to move on for cavalry units, but it is still quite a distance for infantry units that move on their two legs.

By the time they moved to the outskirts of the rainforest area, it was almost dark.

At this point in time, it was certainly impossible for them to launch an offensive directly. Li Ce, who was accompanying the commander, directly gave the order to set up camp.

Soros received the news during this period. After thinking about it for a while, he waited until Li Ce's camp was built, and then he directly sent out the Ankylosaurus to destroy his camp.

The purpose is to mess with their mentality and make them watch helplessly as the camp they have just built is reduced to ruins under the iron hooves of the armored dragon.

But what Soros didn't know was that Li Ce didn't care about it at all and was even happy about it.

After all, he had no intention of launching a real attack from the beginning, he was just bluffing and pretending.

Under this premise, if Soros didn't "cooperate", wouldn't he soon be unable to pretend? Only when the other party tried their best to hinder him, and he was "hindered" and kept pulling with the other party, could he successfully gain more time.

Everything is in his plan! (End of this chapter)
