Chapter 1045 Two Questions
During this period of time, Jie Liancheng, who had been chased all the way here by the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, was obviously unwilling to give up. On the other hand, Zhou Chongshan, who was standing aside, was very calm, and it was obvious that he had expected this situation a long time ago.
Although Zhou Chongshan has outstanding individual strength, his ability to command troops and tactical acumen are very limited.
As an ace force with only 500 soldiers, the Xianzhen Camp usually does not fight alone. It normally acts with the main force and enters the battlefield as a killer at the critical moment.
In this situation, they only need to execute the orders of the army commander and do not need to use their brains too much, which allows Zhou Chongshan to successfully avoid his own shortcomings.
But the Xianzhen Camp is an independent force after all, and there is no guarantee that they will not encounter some special situations that will require them to carry out tasks alone.
In response to this situation, Zhou Xu naturally taught Zhou Chongshan how to deal with it.
The key is that you have to think about two questions first.
What is your main goal for this operation? And can you handle the next thing or opponent? Zhou Chongshan has been thinking about these two questions all the way here.
What is their goal? To repel the greenskin troops? No! Their goal is not to repel the greenskin troops, but to support the border defense troops led by Jie Liancheng, guard the grassland pass, and ensure that it will not be captured by the greenskin troops!
Under this premise, as an ace force that may support various borders at any time, the situation of the Xianzhen Camp is different from that of the border defense forces. In their daily tactical training, they will study all known types of troops.
Simply put, how would you deal with this unit? And how confident are you?
Among them, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry that appeared in the New North District is undoubtedly one of the research objects of the Xianzhen Camp.
The Xianzhen Camp and the Goblin Wolf Cavalry have never officially fought each other, but the intelligence mentioned that the positioning of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry is similar to that of the Dragoon Cavalry.
After realizing this, Zhou Chongshan had a basic idea in his mind.
After all, they had worked with the Raptors for quite a long time in previous years, and they were very familiar with the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of the Raptors.
If the Goblin Wolf Cavalry and the Speed Dragon Cavalry have the same positioning, then they will basically have no chance of winning.
The Vanguard Iron Cavalry are heavily armored cavalry. They cannot be as fast as the enemy, and they are even less likely to be the opponent's match in terms of flexibility.
If they insist on fighting, and the other side chooses to engage in a war to consume their energy, they will most likely be exhausted to death.
Instead of that, it's better not to fight in the first place.
The other side was unaware of their strength, so if they could scare them off and rescue the border defense forces led by Jie Liancheng, their goal would have been achieved, and there was no need to create any more trouble.
However, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry on the opposite side obviously would not withdraw in one go.
After they retreated a certain distance and made sure that the Xianzhen Iron Cavalry had not pursued them, they immediately regrouped and turned back, following the Xianzhen Camp from a distance.
Goblin Wolf Cavalry are extremely fast and agile when they move, and under normal circumstances, as long as they don't do things too blatantly, it would be difficult for ordinary troops to notice their actions.
But the Great Zhou army has Qiansui and Ma Wangye, one a super creature and the other a strange beast, with very sharp senses. They immediately noticed any unusual movement behind them.
"He's following me again."
Zhou Chongshan frowned.
In comparison, Xie Liancheng was undoubtedly more angry. After all, he had been harassed all the way.
“It’s really haunting!”
"Ignore them and continue to retreat."
As he spoke, Zhou Chongshan directly signaled the Xianzhen Iron Cavalry to continue escorting the border defense troops towards the grassland pass.
During this process, Zhou Chongshan felt it clearly.
There are indeed many similarities between Goblin Wolf Cavalry and Dragoon Cavalry in terms of combat style and characteristics, but they are not exactly the same.
Take the tracking ability and pursuit tactics for example. The tracking ability of the dragoons is actually not much different from that of ordinary cavalry, and their pursuit tactics are also very ordinary, which are not possessed by the dragoons.
On the other hand, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, with the tracking ability given by the excellent sense of smell of their giant wolf mounts, this tactic is completely within their comfort zone.
By expanding the battlefield and prolonging the battle time, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry can fully use this tactic to continuously consume the moving target troops.
At this moment, Zhou Chongshan began to understand why Jie Liancheng and his men were in such a mess. It was not only because of the difference in troop strength, but also because they were completely controlled by the opponent at the tactical level.
But it doesn't matter now.
Facing the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, although their Vanguard Iron Cavalry did not have the ability to pursue, on the other hand, if the opposing Goblin Wolf Cavalry dared to attack their mobile formation, they would be seeking death.
Zhou Chongshan is still confident about this.
If the current situation is maintained, at most the location of the grassland pass will be exposed to the opposite side.
But it doesn’t matter whether it is exposed or not now.
This location is less than three kilometers away from the grassland pass. According to the tracking ability of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, it cannot be concealed at all. It is only a matter of time before it is exposed.
Their cavalry did not move very fast, which made it very easy for the goblin wolf cavalry behind them to follow.
If it were the case, they should have taken some action by now to consume the previous wave.
But at this moment, the existence of the Vanguard Cavalry made them dare not act rashly.
Maintaining a not-so-efficient speed, the distance of less than three kilometers passed quickly.
The grassland pass is located in a canyon, and you can officially enter the grassland area by crossing this canyon.
After receiving the news that greenskin troops appeared on the northeastern border, the grassland pass, which was originally sparsely defended, immediately strengthened its defenses.
Of course, when we talk about defense, it actually means setting up a large number of barricades at the entrance of the canyon.
Now that it has been confirmed that the Xianzhen Camp had escorted the border defense forces back, the people at the grassland pass immediately removed the barricades and sent out people to support them.
Knowing that the Goblin Wolf Cavalry was following behind them, Zhou Chongshan and his men, along with the soldiers from the checkpoint who had come out to support them, sped up and entered in a line.
After officially entering the grassland pass, the soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief, especially the border defense forces led by Jie Liancheng.
Throughout the entire journey, they had been on edge, not daring to relax even for a moment. Their mental and physical strength had already reached the limit.
Now that they had entered the grassland pass, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and many of them suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.
This situation made the whole scene a bit chaotic.
