Chapter 476 You and I

Although the battle with the Lizardmen was one of passive self-protection after being invaded, as long as it is a war, the consumption will be high, and when the consumption is high, they have to consider the issue of interests.

It is a normal process for them to suffer losses, occupy the Lizardmen's resource areas while defusing threats, and thus gain benefits.

But if this resource land was replaced by a scorched earth, Zhou Xu would definitely not fight as actively as he is now. He would be more inclined to reduce his losses.

As for Silke and Diak, their anger basically comes from Wang Pengfei's destruction of natural resources.

You know, for those who live in this era, natural resources are the foundation of their survival.

It's like there is a freshwater lake nearby, which is the only water source in the area, but you, a bastard, poison it. It has nothing to do with your stance. Wouldn't this cause public outrage?

Zhou Xu, who saw this, naturally did not forget to comfort them with a few words.

"Okay, stop arguing with that little brat and get back to business."

Before the time travel, Wang Pengfei was naturally the king of keyboards and the king of arguments on the Internet, and he was unrivaled in all major forums.

But the situation is different now. In reality, he has to bear the dimensionality reduction attack directly.

What he said just now was his last act of stubbornness.

After the initial embarrassment, he now shrank to one side with a look of despair on his face, wishing he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Zhou Xu ignored him and treated it as a small episode. He followed the generals below and expressed his idea that from a strategic perspective, he hoped that the Lizardmen would take the initiative to attack.

But the Lizardmen are not stupid, and it is not easy to achieve this goal at this stage.

Maintaining this state, the situation fell into a brief silence. Then, Zhou Xu's eyes suddenly lit up as if he had thought of something. At the same time, Li Ce next to him also reacted.

At that moment, the two people who noticed each other looked at each other quickly, and then Zhou Xu spoke first...

"Maybe we can launch an offensive first."

Hearing this, Li Ce knew that he and their king had the same idea, so he quickly continued the conversation.

"Then deliberately retreat to lure the Lizardmen troops out to pursue us, or even do it more thoroughly and make them switch from defense to offense."

This time, both of them were happy, and they couldn't hide their smiles on their faces.

Show weakness to the enemy and lure the snake out of its hole! Aren’t they thinking the same thing?

"However, we can't pretend this is too fake, otherwise the Lizardmen will definitely notice it."

Zhou Xu emphasized.

Li Ce nodded.

"Our crossbow troops just used up all their giant crossbow arrows, and now they are replenished. The enemy must know that our logistical supplies have arrived. Under this premise, if we don't increase our troops at all, the enemy will most likely be suspicious."

"Then let's just let the fifty mountain soldiers I brought with me to carry out the operation together. If we can break in directly, we will do so. If we can't break in, we will show the enemy weakness according to the plan and lure them out of their hole!"

Inside the tent, Zhou Xu and Li Ce chatted back and forth until the entire plan was completed, leaving the other people present looking at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After that, the two of them certainly did not forget to add some details, and at the same time considered how to deal with some unexpected situations in case of that time.

It is better to do as much as possible in this plan.

Of course, after this, it would be impossible to implement this plan immediately.

Because of the crazy harassment from the opposing Shield Ankylosaur day and night, their front-line troops are now in a terrible state.

After all, the next action concerns the lives of the soldiers. We cannot let them go like this. If they die in the battle, won’t they become innocent victims?

We have to rest for at least two or three days to allow the soldiers to recuperate and then launch subsequent operations.

However, during this period, if the opposing Ankylosaur maintains its harassment tactics and continues to take action, it will be a real problem for them.

"Then let's just withdraw the front-line camp first. This way, if the enemy wants to harass us again, they can only go straight to the garrison camp. The Shield Ankylosaur moves slowly, and its outer shell has been almost completely destroyed by us. If the enemy dares to send it out, we are sure to shoot it to death on the plain!"

As soon as Zhou Xu finished speaking, the order was quickly executed.

During this period, although the Lizardmen lost the Pterosaur Riders, an aerial reconnaissance unit, they could easily confirm a major move like the all-round retreat of the front-line troops by sending a random scout.

Soros frowned slightly after receiving the news.

"From what we saw before, the enemy's logistical supplies should have just been delivered yesterday. They are retreating now. I'm afraid they want to avoid our harassment, adjust their troops' status, and officially launch an offensive."

"So what should we do now? Let the Shield Ankylosaurus continue to harass them and prevent them from recovering?"

Gruul, who was sitting next to him, asked without thinking.

During this period of time, he has completely left all the thinking work to Soros.

In response, Soros just glanced at him but said nothing.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

That night, Zhou Xu still maintained the necessary vigilance. If the other side really continued to send out the Shield Ankylosaurus to launch harassment attacks, they would definitely let the Shield Ankylosaurus die in the night! However, the result was that the Shield Ankylosaurus did not appear.

It was a quiet night, so peaceful that the frontline soldiers, who had been accustomed to the appearance of the Ankylosaurs every night, now felt a little uncomfortable.

Instead, they did not get enough rest during these long-awaited peaceful days.

The next morning, Zhou Xu, who received the report, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It is not difficult to see from this that habit is a terrible thing.

However, judging from the situation that night, the commander on the opposing side should have realized that if the Shield Ankylosaurus were to go out again, his life would be in danger, so he dared not act rashly again.

In the following time, Zhou Xu was not in a hurry. He assumed that the other side would send troops back to support him. On the front line, how long had Li Ce been fighting with the lizardmen on the opposite side? If the other side wanted to send troops back to support him, they would definitely arrive by now, so he didn't mind a day or two.

After that, three more days passed, and these were still three peaceful days. The Lizardmen did not make any big moves the whole time. Occasionally, there would be Lizardman scouts appearing, but they would be driven away by the patrol team in the first place.

This allowed the soldiers on the front line to finally get an environment where they could rest in peace, and Zhou Xu had already begun to confirm with Li Ce the number of mountain soldiers that could be mobilized to the front line.

"Including the reinforcements you brought, my king, there is currently a team of 100 people on the front line. In addition..."

Having said this, Li Ce paused.

"A part of the cavalry led by Li Tie has applied to join this operation as infantry."

"Li Tie. I remember the name is..."

"It's the leader of the Red Stone Tribe, Red Stone."

Zhou Xu nodded.

"What do you think about this matter, Li Ce?"

"Reporting to the king, according to my opinion, Li Tie and his men are mountain dwellers who grew up in the mountains. They have good combat capabilities in such a complex environment. At present, our frontline forces are relatively limited, so we can allow them."

After receiving this reply, Zhou Xu nodded.

"Okay, OK."

"yes!"
