Chapter 303 Li Ce's New Idea
After a night of rest, Li Ce and Zhuo Ge had a simple breakfast before dawn.
They got up so early because they had something to do. Before starting a new day's actions, they had to erase all traces around them to ensure the safety of this resting place.
As a nomadic race, the Centaurs are experts at this task.
With the help of Drogo and the others, they quickly finished everything and started a new day of action.
In order to pursue efficiency, both parties still chose to search separately.
After experiencing yesterday's battle and losing nearly half of their troops, Li Ce and his men have undoubtedly become more cautious in their actions.
After all, compared to yesterday, they no longer have the military advantage.
But there is no need to be too pessimistic. At least they have gained combat experience and deepened their understanding of the enemy this time. At the same time, this is also a process they must go through.
On the Lizardman side, the search team sent out yesterday has discovered traces of fighting on the outskirts, and later found the corpses of giant lizards.
At that time, the monitor lizard was basically just a skeleton, and several spotted hyenas were gnawing on it.
The lizardman who was leading the team at that time was so angry that he killed those spotted hyenas directly to vent his anger.
At the same time, at this point, it can be basically confirmed that the two missing hunting teams will never come back.
I don’t know if it was the group of escaped Centaurs or the indigenous people of this world who took action.
But what is certain is that they have been targeted, and the Lizardman leader, realizing that the enemy has begun to take action, ordered to strengthen the vigilance that night.
After daybreak, the entire cordon was further expanded to the outskirts of the camp, which had a significant impact on the actions of Li Ce and his team.
Yesterday, they were able to attack the hunting teams sent out by the Lizardmen without disturbing the main force of the Lizardmen, and even cleaned up the battlefield and left.
But today, this has become an impossible thing.
The number of patrol teams has increased. Once they launch an attack, the alarm will sound here and other patrol teams nearby will definitely hear it.
There is no need to say more about what the situation will be like at that time.
However, Li Ce was not a stubborn person. In fact, among the generals under Zhou Xu, he was probably the one with the most flexible mind and the most adaptable.
Since it is no longer possible to do what we did yesterday, let's just change our thinking.
Relying on the excellent eyesight blessed by their leader, Li Ce was able to easily observe a lizardman patrol in the distance.
The size of this Lizardman patrol was incomparable to the one they encountered yesterday. It consisted of five Lizardmen in total, led by a velociraptor.
Li Ce and his men are already quite familiar with this type of troops, and have already come up with a set of combat ideas against the Dragoons.
However, this time, Li Ce's focus was not on the leading velociraptor, but on the five lizardman infantrymen following behind the velociraptor.
It can be seen that the five infantrymen also have very obvious lizard features, but they look very different from the lizardman riding on the back of the velociraptor.
They are even smaller in stature, not to mention compared to the former who are of burly stature, even compared to humans of normal size, they are still very small.
Under this premise, the former has blue scales that appear to be noticeably hard, and some white sharp points all over its body.
The latter, on the other hand, has dense green scales, and fin-like organs on its head and back.
From Li Ce's perspective, it seems that no one would find it strange to say that they are two races.
Li Ce swept his eyes over those green, skinny lizardmen, waved his hand, and the cavalry team immediately took action.
"Follow me and charge!!"
This time is completely different from the previous time against the enemy's dragoons. Although the mounted archery tactics are safe, their lethality is very limited and is essentially based on consumption.
But now, except for the leading dragoon, the other five are obviously thin infantry units. Why is it necessary to consume them?
In Li Ce's opinion, rushing forward and crushing the opponent in one wave is the best tactic at the moment!
The noise made by the cavalry charging wildly cannot be small, not to mention that this is happening on a grassland with a wide view.
The other side soon discovered their presence. The leading dragoon was immediately horned and quickly grabbed the horn hanging on the side and blew it, while fleeing to the side.
Obviously, although the Lizardmen's Swift Dragon Cavalry are brave, they are not stupid. Faced with a cavalry team that is ten times their number, they will run away without hesitation.
While running, he continued to blow the horn to notify nearby tribesmen to come for support.
The horn sounding from the other side not only failed to make them give up the idea, but instead made them rush faster.
Upon seeing this, the green lizardmen scattered like birds and beasts, trying to escape.
However, no matter how fast those two thin legs were, could they be faster than a warhorse? They charged and killed all the way, waving their crescent halberds, and killing five fragile lizardmen infantrymen was just a matter of a blink of an eye for them.
Then Li Ce pulled the reins and turned the horse's head.
"withdraw!"
Come and go like the wind, strike and leave, never fight to the end!
This is the new idea that Li Ce came up with.
On the way of evacuation, Li Ce caught a glimpse of a team of enemy dragoons rushing towards him at full speed at the end of his field of vision. There were about five of them.
They had the advantage in numbers, but Li Ce had no interest in stopping to fight the other side.
After all, who knows if there will be other velociraptors coming later? There is no need to take this risk.
"Ignore them and get out of the battlefield at full speed!"
Compared with the velociraptors, their war horses have advantages in endurance and speed. As long as they evacuate before the enemy's encirclement is formed, the enemy will most likely not be able to stop them.
Under this premise, the first cavalry squad that arrived, seeing that the enemy cavalry outnumbered them, did not dare to pursue them easily. In the end, they could only watch them go away.
In the next few days, Li Ce fully implemented this idea. Whenever he caught the enemy infantry, he would charge forward and crush them to death.
When catching cavalry units, they would first adopt the cavalry archery tactics, fight two rounds, and then decide whether to charge based on the actual situation.
Generally speaking, the probability is not to rush.
After all, once the enemy starts to run away, even if their horses have the advantage in endurance and speed, it is impossible for them to catch up with the enemy in a short period of time.
This causes them to spend more time.
The longer the time goes on, the greater the risk will be. Right now they have limited manpower, so the risk must be firmly controlled!
