Chapter 314 Military Strength Advantage
As early as when Silk and his men appeared, the horns of the Lizardmen army had already sounded as an alarm. The Lizardmen leader realized that the enemy had come to harass and attack them again, and angrily sent out the Speed Dragon Cavalry to meet them.
As soon as he saw the opposing velociraptors coming out to meet the attack, Silk, who was leading the team, immediately took the lead and slowed down the pace.
The cavalry team that was originally heading straight for the Lizardman army suddenly changed its offensive and began to deploy its formation, making an appearance of waiting for the opponent's dragoon cavalry to rush up and then giving them a head-on blow.
The large army of Lizardmen did bring tremendous pressure to Silk, but that didn't mean he would make some stupid decisions because of it.
The tactic of horse archery is essentially evolved from hunting. As a group living on the grassland, Silk and his companions naturally have mastered it and can use it skillfully.
Combined with their arrows with tracking capabilities, the cavalry archery tactics they deployed were more threatening and suppressive than those of Li Ce and his men!
At this time, in order to reduce the manpower of the Lizardman army, Silk and his men were not polite at all when they started to attack. They launched rounds of arrow attacks at the enemy continuously.
The purpose is to seize the consumption opportunities at this stage and reduce the pressure they will have to bear in the future.
To some extent, in terms of archery, the elves are even better than the centaurs. After all, the arrows shot by the centaurs have no eyes and will not chase them.
Led by Silk, the arrows of the elven cavalry brought them a sense of panic that they had nowhere to hide, causing the grassland elves to inevitably fall into a high level of mental tension every time they bent their bows and drew their arrows.
Under this premise, the disadvantage in speed also made it impossible for their dragoons to easily approach in a short period of time.
But the lizardmen are not fools after all. If they can't deal with the enemy head-on, they also know how to fight from the side.
They didn't even need to avoid Silk and the others. They divided themselves into three and fought directly in front of the elven knights, taking advantage of their numbers. While ensuring a frontal charge, they also divided into two cavalry teams, one on the left and one on the right, to avoid the suppression of the frontal offensive and prepare to outflank the elven knights.
Originally, when the raptors gathered in one place, Silk and his men only needed to suppress one place with arrows to successfully curb the approaching speed of all the raptors on the opposite side.
Now that the opposing dragoons have dispersed, it is undoubtedly a big trouble for them who are at a disadvantage in terms of troop numbers.
At this moment, facing the dragoons who had already deployed their troops, in order to avoid being surrounded, they had to start reducing the frequency of attacks and focus more energy and time on moving and preventing the formation of an encirclement on the opposite side.
At the same time, on the other side, Li Ce and others who also seized the opportunity to approach the large group of Lizardmen were undoubtedly also intercepted and killed by the opposing Swift Dragon Cavalry.
Obviously, the Lizardman leader on the opposite side also knew that infantry units accounted for the vast majority of their large army. Once the cavalry on the opposite side approached, it would very likely pose a threat to their large army. They had to curb the opponent's actions before they got close.
For this reason, the Lizardman leader, after a slight hesitation, quickly sent out the giant lizards to assist the velociraptors in the battle.
Watching the giant lizard on the opposite side taking action, Li Ce's face changed slightly, and then, needless to say, a cavalryman beside him rode away alone.
Not long after that, a series of bone whistles were heard, causing the giant lizard that was about to take action to pause, while the lizardmen all changed their expressions.
Don't forget, they also have a bone whistle that drives the giant lizard.
When the people on the other side blew the bone whistle, they followed suit and blew it too.
The monitor lizard was not very smart. When the bone whistles on both sides blew, it suddenly didn't know what to do, which greatly reduced the pressure on Li Ce and the others.
When the message was fed back, the Lizardman leader's face turned frighteningly dark.
Fortunately, although the monitor lizard's brain was not very good, it still recognized them, the lizard people, and did not turn around and attack them directly after hearing the bone whistle.
But this was not enough to change the Lizardman Leader's bad mood.
"That idiot actually let the bone whistle fall into the hands of the enemy!!"
Due to the limitations of their intelligence, monitor lizards cannot understand any complex commands and can only take action through simple bone whistle sounds.
Therefore, there is no doubt about how important the bone whistle is to the Lizardmen.
Logically speaking, even if the lizardman holding the bone whistle dies, he should destroy the bone whistle before dying to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy.
The Lizardman leader never imagined that the captain of the previous hunting team would actually make such a big mistake.
Thinking of this, the Lizardman leader really wanted to hang that idiot up and let him die again! Relying on the bone whistle's restraint and the speed advantage of the warhorse, Li Ce took a deep breath and started to deal with the opponent.
But after the Lizardmen took advantage of their military strength, Li Ce and his men had to start retreating.
After all, among the three cavalry teams, in terms of physical fitness, they are definitely not as good as the Centaur tribe led by Drogo, and in terms of suppression methods, they are not as good as the Elf cavalry led by Silk.
In the process, they figured out the weaknesses of the dragoons and knew that their speed and endurance could not match that of their horses.
But on the other hand, the velociraptors also knew their weaknesses. Their biggest weakness was that their horses were far less flexible than velociraptors!
When a warhorse needs to change direction, its speed will inevitably be affected, especially when changing direction continuously.
Seizing this weakness and relying on their numerical advantage, the Raptors directly surrounded and intercepted them.
Under this premise, whether Li Ce chooses to engage in a head-on confrontation with the raptor cavalry blocking the road or to evade them, the speed of their cavalry team will be affected, thus creating an opportunity for other raptor cavalry to chase and kill them.
Invisibly, Li Ce had been dragged into the opponent's rhythm.
At this moment, Li Ce couldn't be unaware of the purpose of the Swift Dragon Cavalry, but some methods cannot be avoided just by knowing them.
“Damn it!”
Accompanied by a low curse, Li Ce led the cavalry to engage in a fight with the opposing velociraptors while quickly launching the mantra.
[Controlled by Skeleton Soldiers! ]
In order to cover Drogo and his men as they broke out of the encirclement, they had thrown away all the Lizardman Skeletons they had collected with great difficulty, and there was no chance to recover them. Now they didn't have a single Skeleton on them.
Now he can only rely on his luck to attract some "wild skeletons" to serve him.
At the same time, after the pterosaur riders successfully found Drogo and his team with their own velociraptors, they no longer cared about the situation on the other side, but turned to search for the traces of the other two enemy cavalry teams, and soon found this side.
With the aerial vision, the entire situation was clearly visible to him.
"That human cavalryman was actually blowing a bone whistle to interfere with the movement of the giant lizard?"
Although he didn't know what was going on here, he already knew what to do!
Since his target was only a human cavalryman and the other party had not yet discovered him, the pterosaur rider had no intention of continuing to hide.
He controlled the pterosaur under his seat and pounced on the human soldier who was blowing the bone whistle below! Update sent, thanks to the book friend 'Mo Ai Yu Xiao Xiong Pa' for the reward!
