Chapter 319: His eyes changed
With a shout of "Release", a rain of arrows swept in from three directions!
Even the lizardmen, who have the protection of scales on their bodies, would not be able to withstand such a pincer attack.
During this period, the dragoons on the opposite side received the signal and rushed over, which had a certain impact on the battle situation here.
But Li Ce and his men were experienced in this kind of situation. They were not at all panicked when it came to maneuvering the situation, and when the fight was almost over, they would just leave.
At first, those velociraptors wanted to launch a proper pursuit, but their velociraptor mounts had already started drooling from their mouths, and the drool was dripping down from their teeth like a small waterfall.
According to Li Ce's observation, this should be a sign that the velociraptors were seriously exhausted.
If there weren't more velociraptors coming towards them from other places, and if they were worried that they wouldn't be able to leave, Li Ce would definitely seize this opportunity to charge and crush them! But now he could only think about it. When using this cavalry shooting tactic, he couldn't be greedy, because greed would easily lead to trouble.
Not to mention that considering the current situation, the Lizardmen have an overwhelming advantage in military strength compared to them.
At this stage of consumption, while consuming the enemy's forces, they must also preserve their own forces to the maximum extent possible.
Otherwise, they would lose so many soldiers and generals in a war of attrition, so why would they need to fight anymore? They could just surrender.
During this entire process, the highest commander of their grassland village was Li Ce. Ye Jinghong and Zhou Chongshan did not speak a word throughout the entire process.
After all, they only have less than 30 soldiers under their command. How can they lead the team if there are three voices? However, during Li Ce's command, Ye Jinghong and Zhou Chongshan did not do nothing.
Especially Ye Jinghong, he stood from the commander's perspective throughout the whole process, observing the entire situation, so that if Li Ce made any mistakes in command, he could immediately remedy it. His existence itself was a layer of insurance for Li Ce.
They avoided possible casualties in a head-on battle, and the successful operation boosted their morale.
On the other hand, as for the Lizardmen, even though neither side has had a serious fight yet, the impact of yet another successful attack on the morale of their large army cannot be ignored.
As a result, many Lizardmen soldiers became depressed, with their heads drooping like defeated roosters.
The death of the pterosaur rider had a huge impact on them.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about patrolling and guarding. No matter how many velociraptors are added together, they cannot be as powerful as a pterosaur rider.
But the pterosaur rider died, and the enemy threat remains.
The Lizardman leader had no choice but to send out a squad of swift cavalry to patrol and guard around the large army.
This deployment not only forced the Raptors to disperse their forces, but also required them to consume more physical strength.
You know, velociraptors themselves are not creatures with outstanding physical strength. Patrolling missions cause their already poor physical strength to be depleted before the battle.
This directly led to their physical strength being depleted faster than usual in the next attack, and they were so tired that they drooled after just a few rounds of consumption.
Not only did the threat power drop significantly, but the subsequent pursuit capability was also lost.
All these things made the mentality of the Lizardmen leaders become worse and worse at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Compared to the confident state he was in when he first arrived in this world, his mentality now seems to be on the verge of exploding.
He urgently needs a victory, or a kill, to vent his bad emotions!
At the same time, Li Ce and his group, who had already run far away, slowed down their pace slightly after reuniting, and then, under Li Ce's instructions, made certain adjustments to the traces they left behind.
They did not erase the traces directly, but misled them.
The direction they left was completely off the route of the Lizardman army.
If the enemy chooses to follow this trail to hunt them down, the efficiency of the large force's advance will inevitably be affected, and they will also fall directly into their ambush.
As for not catching up...
What would they have to lose?
No! At this moment, watching Li Ce's actions and the other party's subsequent explanation, Zhuo Ge and Silk were silent.
To be honest, from the perspective of strength, none of them had taken Li Ce seriously before. After all, compared to them, ordinary humans had inherent shortcomings in strength and were not worth their too much attention.
But after experiencing a series of actions, the way they looked at Li Ce undoubtedly changed again and again.
Imagine Li Ce becoming their enemy, and then using all those endless tricks to trap them...
Just thinking about it made their scalps tingle.
After making simple arrangements, the group quickly returned to their resting base.
This temporary base is not only for them to rest, but also stores the supplies they will need in the next few days.
In addition to food supply, the supply of arrows is of paramount importance!
In that situation, they had no chance to recover the arrows they shot, which caused the arrow consumption to increase sharply.
Although the cavalry archery tactics are essentially very rogue, they also require sufficient "capital" to support them.
It is worth mentioning here that the grassland elves should also have a certain degree of forging ability, and they also use metal weapons and arrows.
However, arrows are different from food after all.
The grassland elves were confident enough to cover their food supply, but they obviously could not afford the arrows.
Fortunately, Li Ce and his companions did not expect the grassland elves to be able to achieve this.
As early as the moment the Lizardmen invasion was confirmed, their leader had already issued orders and began to cast copper arrowheads with all his strength.
Although a lot of arrows have been consumed since the tactical operation was launched, the stock in their grassland village is still enough.
Even the arrows for Drogo and his men were provided by the grassland village.
There is no other way. A nomadic people like Drogo does not have the ability to occupy land and mine. Under this premise, casting metal weapons is out of the question.
This situation made Drogo and the others feel somewhat embarrassed, but they had no choice.
While bringing back the big trouble of the Lizardmen to Zhou Xu and his men, he also kept owing Zhou Xu favors. Late at night, Drogo couldn't help but think...
[If I can get through this, how many wild horses and buffaloes do I have to catch to pay off Zhou Xu? ]
