Chapter 1264 Overt Conspiracy
At this moment, Li Ce will just give a general idea and arrange the deployment of each army at that time. It is impossible to arrange things on the battlefield too specifically before the war. After all, who knows what will happen at that time?
As the commander-in-chief, Li Ce can do nothing but coordinate the overall situation and grasp the general direction of the war.
When the time comes on the battlefield and the two sides start fighting, the various things happening on the front line will still depend on the generals to respond to them improvisationally.
After the meeting, the generals of each army began to let their soldiers enter the final preparation stage.
The next morning, with the support of the air force's vision, the coalition forces carefully avoided the greenskins' eyes and approached the greenskin checkpoint.
Li Ce was not afraid that Marshal Adolf would fool him, not because of any trust, but because the other party should be clear that once he did so, their relationship, which was not solid to begin with, would be completely broken!
As long as the other party has a bit of brains and does not want to repeat the mistakes of the coalition forces, they will not do such a stupid thing.
Of course, speculation is speculation, but what is more practical is to let the air force keep an eye on the situation on the main battlefield. This trick is more effective than anything else.
Marshal Adolf did not disappoint him. When the time came, the border garrisons of the Saint Laurent Empire quickly assembled and launched an offensive towards the greenskin base camp on the outskirts with an extremely swift manner.
Taking the earlier wave of tug-of-war led by Li Ce as an opportunity, it can be said that the offense and defense on this battlefield have now been completely reversed.
After receiving the report from the Giant Eagle Knight and learning that the Saint Laurent Empire had launched an offensive, Li Ce remained calm.
"No rush, let them fight for a while, and let the main force of the greenskins be attracted to the army of the Saint Laurent Empire."
In the current situation, the most important thing for them is not so much to defeat the greenskin army, but to break through the checkpoints in front of them, and then find an opportunity to meet up with the army of the Saint Laurent Empire and retreat to the border fortress opposite.
After all, the scale of this wave of greenskin army is there. This tough battle involving tens of thousands of troops cannot be finished in one or two battles.
They have been isolated by the greenskins and their situation has been dangerous. Only by retreating into the fortress can they feel at ease.
"Report! The large greenskin army is beginning to gather towards the main battlefield!"
Li Ce confirmed the situation and nodded, then quickly gave the order...
"Order the vanguard troops to raid the greenskin checkpoint!"
Upon receiving the order, Fisher's large force immediately set out to attack, approaching the checkpoint in the distance at the fastest speed.
During this period, Fisher, a powerful warrior at the Vajra Realm level, was also mixed in this vanguard force.
He would not act rashly. After all, he still had to conserve his strength to deal with the strong men of the same level on the greenskin side.
His main purpose of mixing in with the vanguard troops at this moment was to follow Li Ce's instructions and see if he could find an opportunity to rush up and destroy the entrance to the opposite checkpoint.
If this goal can be achieved, then this loss is definitely worthwhile.
Although the goblins among the greenskins have certain construction capabilities, this ability is obviously limited. They cannot burn bricks or build walls. The greenskins' defenses are generally composed of thick tree trunks.
At first glance, the overall tone is like a den of bandits.
The vanguard troops were approaching rapidly, and Fisher, who was mixed in the team, kept looking back and forth at the defense facilities of the greenskin checkpoint.
As a warrior at the Vajra Realm, Fisher could definitely easily destroy defense facilities of this level.
In this wave of operations, if he can lead the team to directly break through the greenskins' blockade, he will definitely be able to show off and leave a deep impression on the Saint Laurent Empire. Just thinking about it makes him a little excited.
However, just as Fisher was thinking this, his keen senses suddenly caught a dense sound of breaking through the air! At that moment, he immediately shouted loudly...
"Be careful of the rain of arrows!"
Almost at the same time as Fisher issued the reminder, a rain of arrows swept out from behind the wooden wall, and the Smith soldiers rushing in the front quickly raised the large round shields in their hands to their heads to defuse the attack!
Obviously, this is not the first time they have faced such a situation.
The greenskins really don't have much craftsmanship. Even if they can make something, it's very crude, but they can't stop them from robbing! Their weapons and equipment are basically obtained by plundering, which is why each greenskin unit often has different weapons and equipment, and each one wears and uses a variety of things.
Among the weapons and equipment that can be obtained through plunder, long-range weapons are undoubtedly the most difficult to manufacture and also the most valuable.
This also means that captured long-range weapons are often taken away by the most powerful clans in the greenskin camp, who hold these precious equipment in their own hands. The weaker clans are not worthy of owning them at all.
Among them, the greenskin royal family is undoubtedly one of the very few greenskin clans that can form a decent long-range force.
After several rounds of arrow rain, the greenskin troops in the checkpoint could no longer stay there as they watched Smith's vanguard army approaching...
"WAAAAGH!!!"
Amid the sound of war cries, the checkpoint gate opened and a large number of green-skinned soldiers swarmed out, charging towards Smith's vanguard army!
Obviously, the greenskins had been prepared for the reinforcements lingering on the periphery.
The main thing is that this matter itself is not difficult to guess.
However, even if he could guess it, it would not prevent Li Ce's arrangement from working as usual.
This wave of his use is a typical open conspiracy. What's the use of guessing it? Facing the strong attack of the Saint Laurent Empire army, can you not send troops to support them?
This is simply impossible! The troops left at this checkpoint at this stage obviously cannot allow them to chase after the reinforcements as they did before.
"Retreat quickly!"
When it became obvious that the attack was hopeless, Fisher quickly gave up the idea of ​​continuing to advance and ordered the main force to retreat.
Although they are the vanguard, they cannot just charge forward mindlessly. After all, the gap in combat power between human soldiers and green-skinned soldiers is there, and charging headlong will basically lead to death.
But the green-skinned soldiers obviously had no intention of letting them go. The severe burns on their bodies told of their hatred for each other in the simplest and crudest way! At the same time, Li Ce, who was flying in the air with a Pegasus Knight, activated the "Eye of Insight" and calmly observed the movements of the battlefield below.
The greenskins' continued pursuit caused the entire battlefield to quickly move outward.
At the right moment, Li Ce sent out a signal, and the Great Zhou crossbow troops and Smith crossbow troops, which had been ambushed on both sides of the periphery, appeared in a fan-shaped counterattack formation.
During this time, Smith's vanguard troops, who also heard the signal, retreated to both sides as quickly as possible.
The next moment, the crossbowmen who had already set up their individual crossbows pulled the triggers almost at the same time, and the crossbow arrows shot through the air, giving the greenskins a head-on blow with the most rapid momentum! (End of this chapter)
