Chapter 1105 Zhou Xu's Plan
"Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the Emperor!!!"
The battle was over before the two sides even came into direct contact!
This was an unprecedented victory! The addition of individual crossbows and demolition vehicles directly changed the war situation of this era to a certain extent.
The recruits, who were under tremendous psychological pressure the moment before, burst into excited roars the next moment.
During this period, Zhou Xu, who witnessed the entire process with his own eyes, was also very excited.
However, compared to the new recruits who were almost celebrating, his mind at this moment still remained calm as a ruler should.
Such a great victory can indeed effectively boost the morale of the Great Zhou army, which has a very high proportion of new recruits, but Zhou Xuke will not think that he is invincible because of this.
Apart from anything else, their military advantage this time was almost overwhelming.
After a winter of hard work, he successfully increased the number of crossbowmen in the Northeast Border Defense Force to one thousand. With the addition of the newly added blasting vehicle troops, the long-range firepower of their Great Zhou has increased exponentially compared to last winter.
Just over a thousand green-skinned soldiers dare to charge their positions?
This is a bit beyond one's capabilities!
After quickly ending the battle, Zhou Xu left behind some veterans and took the new recruits to finish off the enemies on the battlefield. While making sure that all the greenskins were dead, he also took this opportunity to let these new recruits see some blood.
He and Li Ce led their troops to quickly move into the greenskin camp.
Although they didn't have any high expectations for the greenskins' camp from the beginning, they had to admit that the camp was really simple and the interior was quite dirty.
After a quick glance, Li Ce hurriedly called a few soldiers to clean out a tent as quickly as possible for their Majesty to rest.
During this period, Zhou Xu was not idle either. He directly triggered the magic forbidden ring in his hand and quickly launched a ban with this camp as the center.
Obviously, having already occupied the camp, he had no intention of giving it up easily.
However, such a simple camp was not enough to provide them with any defensive advantage.
Therefore, at this stage, Zhou Xu naturally has no intention of fighting a defensive battle.
Through the Giant Eagle Knights' high-altitude reconnaissance, they had already confirmed that a large enemy force had broken out into a battle with another force on a battlefield about thirty miles away from here.
And when they arrived nearby, the battle there had just begun.
Otherwise, how could they just happen to raid the greenskins' hometown? There are not so many coincidences in this world. It was all because Li Ce took the right time to launch the action after confirming the intelligence! The current situation couldn't be better for the Da Zhou army, which was mostly made up of new recruits.
In the previous battles, their soldiers didn't have to exert much effort at all. After a short rest, they were ready to set off immediately.
By the time their main force arrives at the battlefield, the opponent must have fought to a certain extent. At that time, they will directly cooperate with the opposing forces to launch a pincer attack on the greenskins!
Here, Zhou Xu actually has a little selfish motive, which is to let the opposing forces consume the greenskins first. In this way, when they arrive, the pressure they need to bear will be much less.
Although they had a common enemy this time, the opponent was an unfamiliar force after all, and Zhou Xu didn't know the opponent's nature. Naturally, it was impossible for him to be open-hearted with the opponent right from the start.
Using the greenskins' help to appropriately weaken the opponent to facilitate their subsequent exchanges is a normal operation, and Zhou Xu does not think that he did anything wrong.
After all, as long as they take action, they will be helping the other side.
Otherwise, they don't have to take any action at all. Even if the opponent is killed by the greenskins, and they have to fight the greenskins one-on-one, that's a matter for later.
At this moment, the recruits had already completed the finishing blow, which was completely different from the previous situation where they used individual crossbows or explosive bombs to kill the enemies.
When the swords in their hands pierced the opponent's flesh and the hot blood splashed on their faces, the special feeling that was fed back along the blade and the bloody smell that constantly stimulated them were enough to make the scalps of these recruits numb.
Without the excitement of winning the battle, many of the new recruits now looked unhappy.
But now there is obviously no time to let these new recruits relax slowly. Considering that there is still a distance of thirty miles, it is almost time for them to set off.
"Li Ce, you lead the main force behind. The Centaur Cavalry, the Dragoon Cavalry, the Elf Knights, the Wood Elf Mage Corps, and Bolevin, all follow me!"
Although it was his purpose to make the opposing forces and the greenskins consume more energy, Zhou Xu was also afraid that the opposing forces would be killed by the greenskins before he arrived, or they would suffer heavy casualties and be unable to fight again. Then they would have to fight alone again, which was obviously not what Zhou Xu wanted to see.
In order to avoid this situation, Zhou Xu decided to take Bolevin and the mobile forces to the outskirts of the battlefield first, and then act according to circumstances.
Of course, this does not include Jie Liancheng and the cavalry led by Zhou Chongshan.
Taking physical reasons into consideration, Zhou Xu did not want the Vanguard Cavalry to consume unnecessary energy at this stage. As for Xie Liancheng's staying, it was because of consideration for the safety of the large army.
When Zhou Xu left, he took away most of the high-end combat power of their Great Zhou.
No one can be sure that after they leave, the large army will not suddenly encounter the greenskin army on the way. There must be a few capable generals to ensure that the large army can reach the battlefield safely, right? As for the battlefield, there are centaurs and dragoons, as well as the Wood Elf Mage Corps, which is enough to give the opponent a lifeline.
If it really doesn't work, there are still him and Bolevin, two mages who have entered the holy realm.
If the two of them take action, they might directly change the situation.
On this side, just as Zhou Xu led his troops to set off at the fastest speed, on the front line where the greenskin army was located, a small group of goblin wolf cavalry rushed to their rear position on the battlefield with panic on their faces, and brought their king a piece of extremely terrible news.
Just as he finished the report with great fear, he heard a muffled bang, and the kneeling goblin was slapped on the head by the greenskin king! Instantly, all the greenskin soldiers at the scene were silent, and only the heavy breathing of the ferocious greenskin king continued to echo in the tent, like an extremely irritable beast that was ready to eat people at any time! I came out to fight a battle, and you told me that the camp was gone? !
