Chapter 307: Racial Disparity
Judging from the experience gained by Drogo and his ancestors, poisoning is indeed not a practical method.
But the inability to change the existence of this method will bring them some inevitable troubles.
[Now it seems that equipping all soldiers with rattan armor should be the most effective method, but the production of rattan armor requires a lot of time. At present, there are only twenty rattan armor soldiers in the grassland village. ]
Seeing Li Ce still struggling with this question, Zhuo Ge simply spoke again...
"It's actually very simple to deal with this move."
Li Ce's eyes lit up when he heard this. It was obvious that he was very interested in this topic.
Drogo didn't keep anyone in suspense and gave the answer directly.
"You just need to use your horse archery tactics to easily break it."
The answer given by Drogo made Li Ce subconsciously fall into thought.
During this process, Drogo continued to speak...
"As I said before, if you apply poison to a weapon, the toxicity won't last long and will soon lose its effect."
"So to use this move, you often need to apply it immediately after discovering the enemy."
"Lizardmen don't have arrows as weapons. They usually attack by throwing short spears. The attack range of these spears cannot be compared with our arrows. As long as you don't charge directly at them, keep your distance and shoot them with arrows, you can completely avoid the threat of poison."
"Even if we can't kill them all, the toxin will be almost ineffective after two rounds. This type of toxin is difficult to carry, and the quantity is not large. The lizardmen basically only have enough for one application. Normally, subsequent battles will not give them the opportunity to apply it again."
Li Ce's understanding of this kind of methods in all aspects is very limited.
When Drogo told him that the cavalry archery tactics could be cracked, combined with the previous intelligence, he was actually able to roughly figure things out on his own, it just took some time, and it certainly wouldn't be as fast as if Drogo had directly said it.
"How about this, in the following operations, we will be responsible for the charge, and you will be responsible for covering us."
As he spoke, Drogo readily took on the task of frontal charge.
Although Li Ce had a relatively good understanding of the temperament of Drogo and the others, his actions still surprised him.
"Captain Drogo, you don't seem to be worried about the paralysis poison at all."
Faced with this question, Drogo did not hide it.
"Maybe it's because of the way we survive as centaurs. We have strong resistance to various toxins. For example, the paralysis toxin used by the Lizardmen did have a more obvious impact when we were first attacked. But as we were attacked more and more times, the impact became less significant."
“…”
At this moment, the racial gap left Li Ce speechless.
However, judging from the current situation, having a force that can ignore the opponent's poisonous attacks is undoubtedly a good thing.
In the next operation, both sides will have to cooperate more closely, so they should quickly discuss the details of the cooperation with Drogo.
During this process, a soldier who was on guard outside ran in quickly.
"Lieutenant! The carriage that brought the wounded back has returned!"
There was a hint of excitement in the soldier's voice when he reported, and Li Ce quickly confirmed the reason.
There were ten cavalrymen returning with the two carriages, five of whom were wearing rattan armor!
Before Li Ce set out, he divided the forty regular army soldiers gathered in Caoyuan Village into two groups and planned to rotate them.
Each group of 20 cavalrymen included ten rattan armor soldiers and ten ordinary regular army soldiers.
Now, nearly half of the first batch of soldiers who followed him out were killed, seriously injured or killed in battle. Only one was a rattan armor soldier, and the rest were all ordinary regular army soldiers.
There are many reasons for this.
In addition to the fact that the overall strength of the rattan armor soldiers is indeed stronger than that of ordinary regular army soldiers, it is also because of the rattan armor they wear and the mounts under their crotch.
The situation was urgent, and nearly half of their war horses had not received adequate training.
This also makes it easy for unexpected situations to occur during combat and even in some cooperation.
But they had no choice but to face this situation.
The loss of nearly half of their troops has had a huge impact on them and they definitely need to be replenished.
But in this case, Li Ce's original plan could not be implemented.
This made Li Ce a little conflicted, but he finally decided to adjust his original plan and asked Ye Jinghong to dispatch ten cavalrymen for support.
In this way, the number of rattan armor soldiers can account for the vast majority, so that the combat effectiveness of their cavalry team can be exerted more stably.
With the support of Li Ce and his team, the two carriages of the support team quickly entered their hilly camp.
This time, in addition to bringing them some survival supplies, what’s more, is actually weapons supplies!
Arrows as consumables are definitely needed. In addition, the appearance of new weapons immediately attracted the attention of Li Ce and Drogo.
"This is……"
As he spoke, Li Ce grabbed the new weapon in his hand.
Under the sunlight, a cold light flashed before everyone's eyes, and their new weapons were officially revealed to everyone.
"The new weapon is called a lance. It is said to be more convenient for our cavalry to launch attacks when launching a charge. At the same time, the tip of the lance is made of iron, which is more resilient than copper. While ensuring its sharpness, it is also less likely to be damaged than copper."
The acquisition of new weapons undoubtedly greatly increased the confidence of Li Ce and his men.
At the same time, inside the Lizardman camp, the Lizardman leader was in a bad mood.
The latest information sent back not only made his blood pressure soar, but also made him clearly realize that he was in a dilemma.
The three opposing forces seem to have joined forces, or rather, they have been joining forces from the very beginning, but are only now starting to act together.
In this way, the patrol team with increased strength can no longer pose an effective threat to the enemy.
With this as a premise, if he further merges patrol teams and increases the strength of individual patrol teams, the patrol frequency and distribution density of patrol teams will drop significantly.
By then, the other party will most likely be able to find a loophole like they did at the beginning, attack their hunting team, and rob their food! At that time, the Centaurs who were chasing after their lives followed the energy channel and killed them. They really didn't expect that the situation here would be so tricky.
The food problem could not be effectively solved for the time being, and coupled with the relatively limited military forces, he fell into an extremely passive situation.
The easiest way to break the impasse right now is to get supplies.
Apart from anything else, even if the problem of food supply was solved for him, he could directly disband the hunting team and gather his forces to launch a massive advance.
Wait until his army reaches the outside of the opposite camp, and see where the other side can escape! I don’t know if it sensed his idea, but the energy channel that had been silent for a long time opened again on this day...
Thanks to the book friend 'The Little Panda Who Loves Fish' for the reward!
