Chapter 485 Night Raid (Part 3)

Upon receiving the order, fifty dragoons quickly set out, aiming directly at the crossbow unit in the distance.

Hearing the noise, Zhou Chongshan, who was hiding in the dark, looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"As expected, they are coming. Kill them before they get close to the crossbow troops. Let's go!"

Following Zhou Chongshan's order, the Great Zhou cavalry waiting on the side moved along. The clanging of their iron hooves made the opposing swift cavalry aware of their approach at the first moment.

Cavalrymen like them will master a skill over time, which is to roughly guess how many people are coming from the opposite side by listening to the noise.

After hearing this, they were basically certain that the number of cavalry on the opposite side obviously exceeded theirs, which made the fifty swift cavalrymen on this side immediately feel like retreating.

But it was obviously too late! On the flat plain battlefield, the movement speed of the regular cavalry was completely faster than that of the dragoons.

In the blink of an eye, the Great Zhou cavalry led by Zhou Chongshan had already approached to a certain distance.

"Fire Arrow!!"

With a loud roar, while maintaining his riding posture, Zhou Chongshan quickly pulled out an arrow from a separate leather bag.

Then he bent down, hung sideways on the horse's back, and using the horse's running speed, he struck the arrow into the ground like striking a match.

Along with the flying sparks, the arrow in Zhou Chongshan's hand burst into flames! "Shoot!"

In an instant, a flaming arrow pierced through the pitch-black night and shot towards the velociraptors in the distance.

A round of fire arrows did not bring any amazing damage to the dragoon cavalry, but it brought fire to the originally dark environment, allowing Zhou Chongshan and others to gain vision!

Needless to say, this is the main reason why Zhou Chongshan and his team specially prepared fire arrows and used them at this time.

Unless there are a large amount of flammable materials in the target direction, how much killing power can the small flame of the fire arrow itself have?

“Kill him!!”

Using fire to indicate the direction, the Great Zhou cavalry led by Zhou Chongshan quickly replaced their iron spears and roared in charge!

In a flash, the Great Zhou cavalry troops, which had been galloping all the way, charged directly forward. The cold iron spears, carrying the momentum of the war horses, ruthlessly pierced through the bodies of the speed dragon cavalry.

The cavalry team consisting of only fifty speed dragon cavalrymen was as fragile as thin paper in front of the group charge of the Great Zhou cavalry. Just one round of charge made them completely defeated! The lizardman leader who saw this scene from afar had an ugly face and quickly signaled the soldiers beside him to send a signal to summon the cavalry to come for support.

Long-term fighting has enabled the Great Zhou troops to be familiar with most of the Lizardmen's signals.

In fact, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t understand. Once the signal from the other side sounds, basically nothing good will happen.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Chongshan also asked the signalman beside him to send a signal.

The main purpose is to notify the garrison camp in the rear that the situation has changed. As for Drogo and Diack, their mission is to delay the opposing cavalry force.

As long as the opposing cavalry force makes any new moves, Drogo and Diack will definitely take action at the first opportunity. This is their mission, and it doesn't matter whether they send a signal or not.

During this process, the crossbow troops did not seem to restrain themselves because of the signals sent by the Lizardmen.

The round of fire arrows shot by Zhou Chongshan and his men further provided them with vision, allowing them to launch a more accurate second round of attacks.

The screams of the Ankylosaurus indicated that they had successfully hit the target again.

Time is precious and their actions are still going on. They don't mind taking down an enemy Ankylosaur at this stage.

Given that today's giant crossbows can draw blood every time they attack, it is not impossible to do this.

But unfortunately, they did not have much time, as a new signal came from the outer plains. This was the signal sent by Drogo and his men.

The sending of this signal indicates that Drogo and his men are moving towards this side.

Following them, there was a high probability that there was also a large cavalry force of the Lizardmen! The crossbow troops used the last bit of time to finish the third round of attacks and began to pack up the three-bow crossbows as quickly as possible to prepare for transfer.

The arrival of a large cavalry force meant that they had basically lost their external output environment and had to quickly withdraw to their garrison camp to ensure their own safety.

In terms of time, it was undoubtedly enough. The crossbow troops acted quickly and drove away in their carriages before the large group of Lizardmen arrived.

Zhou Chongshan and his men escorted them along the way and had no intention of staying here to support Drogo and his men.

It has been confirmed that the size of the opposing dragoon force is far greater than theirs, and they have no night vision, so staying here would easily become a burden to Drogo and his men.

The timely withdrawal of the crossbow troops left the opposing dragoon cavalry empty-handed. Drogo and his men, who had been chasing them the entire time, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to maintain a distance from the opposing dragoon cavalry and started to fight with them.

During this period, Qiansui, who had been rushing forward for a while, also found a place to lie dormant temporarily.

Its physical strength is also limited, and it is impossible for it to fight with the Dragoons all the time. This also made Qiansui change its tactics. Its current idea is to rush out to break the deadlock if Drogo and his men make mistakes and are trapped, and to focus on conserving its physical strength at other times.

This is certainly not the result of Qiansui's own thinking. How old is Qiansui now? In addition, he has not experienced too many things, so his current mind is basically equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old human child.

Its current actions were all the instructions Zhou Xu gave it based on the various results he deduced when he was previously deducing tactics.

It even got so carried away at one point that it forgot about this reminder, until it faced the crazy double-team of the Raptors and felt the pressure, then it remembered it again.

After the large group of dragoons led by Gruul came up empty-handed, Gruul's attention quickly returned to the centaurs.

He had no intention of letting these centaurs get close to the moving ankylosaurs and their lizardman infantry.

Remembering the instructions Thoros had given him before the war and the entire tactical arrangement for this operation, Gruul said nothing and directly led his cavalry troops to chase the centaurs.

The purpose is to keep the Centaurs away from this area and ensure that their infantry units can advance steadily.

Maintaining this pace of advancement, as time passed, the garrison camp of the Great Zhou finally appeared within their field of vision.

During this period, Zhou Xu asked Zhou Chongshan to lead the cavalry troops out to shoot several rounds of fire arrows to open up their vision.

He measured the distance with his vision the whole time, and when he saw an opportunity, the power of truth burst out from Zhou Xu.
