Chapter 316 Can it be held?
Li Ce and Ye Jinghong are old partners. Knowing Ye Jinghong's vigorous and resolute character, Li Ce shuddered when he heard the familiar urging voice, and quickly came to his senses. He quickly led his cavalry team to rush towards the gap opened by Ye Jinghong and his men.
The Swift Dragon Cavalry, who were preparing to encircle the enemy on the other side, became anxious upon seeing this.
As a result, the next second, the cavalry team led by Ye Jinghong sent them a round of arrows.
"Quick! Break out!!"
Ye Jinghong's command is oppressive.
This has to do with his personality and work style. He is like an invisible whip, always urging the soldiers under his command to act with the highest efficiency that he requires!
During this process, Zhou Chongshan also came on horseback from a distance, leading another horse in his hand. On the horse's back, a seriously injured soldier was lying there.
The blood flowing from the opponent's shoulders almost soaked half of the saddle.
However, at this point in time, they obviously had no time to treat his wounds. As soon as Li Ce gave the signal, the group quickly left that area at the fastest speed.
At the same time, after discovering the signal from this side, the elven cavalry led by Silk and the centaur led by Drogo also began to evacuate one after another.
After confirming that they had successfully escaped the lizardmen's pursuit, Li Ce rode his horse to Ye Jinghong's side.
"Why are you here? Where is the village?"
Faced with this question, Ye Jinghong spoke calmly, neither hurried nor slow.
"After receiving your intelligence, I think the section of the road where the Lizardmen's army is advancing is very important. We can take action to inflict more damage on the enemy along the way and reduce the pressure of the subsequent battles. So I think we should invest more combat power at this stage."
"At this time, Lieutenant Zhou also arrived at the village, so I simply brought the lieutenant and ten cavalrymen to support him."
Li Ce remained silent throughout listening to Ye Jinghong's simple narration.
It's not that he hadn't thought about bringing these ten cavalrymen with him, but the village must have some forces left for garrisoning, right? If all the troops of their grassland village were dispatched to fight outside, and some enemies took advantage of their absence and destroyed the village, what would they do? However, Ye Jinghong's idea could not be said to be wrong.
In fact, to some extent, he quite agrees with it.
Not to mention the results in front of us, which have already achieved the effect of "facts speak louder than words".
If Ye Jinghong had not arrived with his troops in time, this place would have basically been their burial place.
While Li Ce was feeling so melancholy, Ye Jinghong was still continuing to speak.
"We went to the elf village first. After learning that you had already launched the operation, we followed you with Lieutenant Zhou, but we didn't expect..."
Obviously, he and Li Ce had the same idea of taking advantage of the Lizardmen's advance to consume the enemy.
"I didn't expect that I would see you being surrounded and killed by the Lizardmen cavalry just after arriving here."
“Ah, this…”
Hearing this, Li Ce could only let out two dry laughs to ease the embarrassment in his heart.
I almost lost my life, which is really not a glorious thing, so I quickly changed the subject.
"You've brought all the troops out, what about the safety of the village?"
"After the Lizardmen arrive in force, will the village be safe?"
“…”
Li Ce was really speechless after being confronted by Ye Jinghong's words.
Of course, Ye Jinghong was just expressing his own thoughts.
There is no right or wrong in their approaches, they just have different ideas.
The importance of the village is unquestionable. Even if they are fighting on the front line, they still need the village to provide them with logistical support.
"Don't worry, Prairie Village is different from other villages. In an emergency, I have mobilized all the militia in the village and asked them to perform alert and garrison tasks. In addition, Qiansui is here. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to ensure the safety of the village."
"Anyway, thank you very much. If you hadn't come, I and these soldiers under my command would have been killed here."
"It's my duty, no need to thank me."
As he spoke, Ye Jinghong fell into a brief silence, and his expression became solemn.
Obviously, the size of this lizardman army was beyond their imagination.
Just then, Li Ce spoke.
"See if you can bring Ergu here. Unlike Qiansui, Ergu has no one to control him. He is just a pile of bones. The Lizardmen have a lot of big guys. If you can bring Ergu here, he can at least play a certain role in distracting them."
Li Ce's words made Ye Jinghong couldn't help but glance at him.
"It's easy for you to say that. With my current power of truth, I can't carry the two bones with me. As for moving them to the elf village first..."
Having said this, Ye Jinghong paused.
"It's not like I haven't thought about it, but..."
With a slight change of topic, Ye Jinghong's gaze fell on Li Ce again.
"You should have seen the huge battle of the lizardmen. Do you think we can hold the elven village? If we can't, we will definitely retreat to the grassland village. How can we take Ergu with us? Who can bear it?"
The power of mantra that Li Ce obtained from Zhou Xu was mainly based on "skeleton soldiers". On weekdays, he was busy studying skeleton soldiers, leading them in training, and patrolling the territory. He really didn't have the leisure to think about skeleton beasts.
Therefore, it is inevitable that some ideas about skeleton beasts may not be well thought out.
Now that Ye Jinghong said this, he quickly understood the key. He stopped talking about this matter and turned to look at Zhou Chongshan on the other side.
"Lieutenant Zhou, you should have seen the leader, right? How is the leader doing?"
When it comes to controlling skeleton beasts, the one with the strongest ability must be their leader.
To be on the safe side, Zhou Xu had already set out before the fight began, planning to go to Tieshan Village to bring back the big bone.
Apparently he hasn't come back yet.
Hearing the question, Zhou Chongshan nodded.
"We met on the road, and the leader asked me to come over first."
On the way of retreat, the three of them rode side by side, exchanging some internal information and discussing some ideas and thoughts for the future.
During this time, he kept looking around. On the one hand, he was alert to the lizardmen who might catch up with him, and on the other hand, he was paying attention to whether Silk and the others were coming over.
After all, the topic they were talking about at the moment was basically based on the premise that the elf village must be destroyed.
And they didn't think there was anything wrong.
After all, they are not familiar with the grassland elves, and the reason they are cooperating now is simply because they have a common enemy.
If the elf village cannot be defended, then just treat it as a part of consuming the enemy's combat power and further extend the tactical thinking.
