Chapter 308: Layout
Having rested for most of the day yesterday, Li Ce and his team had enough rest.
Their top priority target has always been the enemy's hunting team. While reducing the enemy's military strength, they also steal the enemy's food, thus achieving the goal of dealing a double blow to the Lizardmen.
But ever since the other side became aware of their presence and began sending out patrols in large numbers to patrol the area, the patrols would often enter their field of vision before that.
At the same time, the hunting team's actions became more cautious.
It is actually not realistic to avoid patrols and only target hunting teams.
With the mentality of not caring who to fight, they are basically not picky now. Whoever runs into them first among the opposing lizardman team will be unlucky.
On a new day, Li Ce and his men, accompanied by ten newly arrived cavalrymen and with a mentality of killing whoever they caught, acted with great vigor and momentum.
As the distance to the Lizardman camp gradually shortened, the first target soon came into their sight.
"That's them!"
Without hesitation, after locking onto the target, they acted quickly.
With the sound of horse hooves, Li Ce led the cavalry team to appear in a strong force. During this process, Li Ce's attention was subconsciously focused on the green lizard infantry on the opposite side.
[Sure enough, they started to poison the short spears! ]
The actions of these green lizard infantrymen are exactly the same as those of yesterday, but Li Ce and his men will no longer charge forward directly like they did yesterday.
"Tactic number five, deploy in fan formation!"
Almost as soon as they entered their shooting range, their cavalry archery formation quickly deployed.
At the same time, the soldiers skillfully bent their bows and drew their arrows, and a hail of arrows was fired directly towards the position of the Green Lizard Infantry on the opposite side.
The unexpected arrow attack disrupted the Green Lizard Infantry's original battle rhythm and plunged them into obvious panic.
Under attack, the panicked Green Lizard infantrymen either fled in haste or threw away the poisoned spears in their hands.
However, the throwing distance was limited, which meant that their spear attacks were completely unable to threaten the cavalry team led by Li Ce.
During this process, the five dragoon cavalrymen on the side also acted quickly and rushed straight to Li Ce and his men who had set up a cavalry archery formation.
As a result, just as they made a move, the Centaurs lurking on the other side rushed out and quickly approached them while cutting off their retreat.
In response to the lizardmen's poisonous attacks, when discussing new tactics yesterday, Drogo suggested that their Centaur tribe should take the lead and charge forward first, while Li Ce and his men would provide cover and support from the side.
Li Ce at that time proposed new ideas for this tactic.
After a brief thought, he realized that there was no need for Drogo and his men to charge forward right away. The biggest feature of the cavalry archery tactics was that no one needed to be responsible for the charge right away.
We can wait for them to enter the field first, launch an offensive with cavalry archery tactics, and then let Drogo and his men intercept and kill them based on the opponent's actions.
The arrival of the Centaurs allowed Li Ce's plan to unfold completely.
The poisoned javelin attacks could no longer threaten them. They targeted the green lizard infantry on the opposite side. After another round of arrow rain, the cavalry team led by Li Ce gradually got into the game.
The battlefield before him seemed chaotic, but in fact there was order within the chaos, and it was completely under Li Ce's control.
Just when Li Ce was preparing to maintain this tactic and completely defeat the opponent, a sound came from afar, breaking Li Ce's originally relaxed state.
[What's going on? Did the enemy change the patrol frequency? But they shouldn't have enough troops, or...]
At this moment, looking at the velociraptors appearing from all directions, Li Ce's mind was racing with thoughts, and he had already guessed the answer.
But in the current situation, it no longer matters what the answer is. The key is that they must break through quickly.
At the moment, only the more mobile dragoons are coming. If they were a little slower, the large army of Lizardmen would have arrived!
"Drogo! Break out now!!"
Li Ce had just shouted this when he found a team of velociraptors swooping down at full speed, directly cutting between their cavalry and the Centaurs, separating them.
Seeing this, Drogo immediately shouted...
"You guys break out first!"
Unlike the Centaurs who directly rushed into the battlefield, because Li Ce and his men maintained the cavalry archery tactics to suppress the green lizard infantry throughout the whole process, they are now at the edge of the battlefield. There are no enemy soldiers around who can immediately restrain their actions, which makes it relatively more difficult for the opposing velociraptors to intercept and kill them.
But at this moment, Li Ce had also noticed that several teams of dragoons were approaching them at full speed.
Once we are stopped by them, one can imagine what the outcome will be.
If they want to support the Centaurs, the prerequisite is that they themselves are not surrounded. Otherwise, they will be unable to take care of themselves, so how can they have the energy to support others?
"Breakout formation!"
Without any nonsense, Li Ce quickly ordered a change of formation and led his cavalry to rush towards the periphery, intending to first break out of the encirclement of the Lizardmen and rush to the periphery, and then use cavalry archery tactics to support and cover Drogo and the others.
But no one knew what happened. The opposing Swift Dragon Cavalry seemed to have ambushed them. They appeared from their breakout route and intercepted them.
Li Ce simply took a quick look and found that at least 20 to 30 cavalrymen had cut off their retreat! This discovery made Li Ce's heart sink. Although the velociraptors were not as capable of head-on collisions as them, their numbers would double the threat.
In fact, it's not a question of whether or not we can win.
[Where, where should I break out?! Every route is blocked by the enemy. No matter which way I go, I will be attacked by at least two teams of velociraptors. Once I am delayed, more velociraptors will besiege me...]
When he thought of this, Li Ce's whole face turned pale in an instant.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the distance.
Carrying a sky-blue light and shadow, arrows shot from behind a hill swept straight towards one of the teams of dragoon cavalry.
The opposing velociraptor was not panicked when seeing this, but jumped away quickly relying on the velociraptor's flexibility and agility.
Just when the lizard people thought the threat had been resolved, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred. The flying arrow seemed to have eyes.
As the dragoons jumped away, the arrows turned and flew past in a long arc.
The unexpected situation caught the Raptors completely unprepared and they were caught off guard.
At the same time, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, the elven cavalry led by Silk appeared on the hill in the distance.
"Break out this way!!"
