Chapter 323 At Dawn
"Let's go!"
Without hesitation, Li Ce pulled the reins of his warhorse, led the large army, and turned around and left.
At this point in time, facing a large number of dragoons is not a good thing.
Once surrounded, they would most likely fall in the last darkness before dawn.
However, Li Ce was not too panicked at this time. Their war horses were superior to the opponent's speed dragons in endurance and speed. Having confirmed this, he was not afraid at all that the other side could catch up with them.
What they had to do now was to run far away and circle around on the grassland before dawn to avoid a head-on battle with more dragoons.
If we can catch someone alone during this period...
Kill him!
Exhaling a breath of hot air, this late night was unexpectedly long for Li Ce and his companions, but they successfully reunited with the Centaurs led by Drogo.
Just as Li Ce had expected at the beginning, Drogo had no objection to his plan.
At this point, the three forces reached a complete consensus.
Li Ce and his friends had lost their rest time and had been running around for most of the night, so their mental state was not very good at the moment.
But the lizardmen on the opposite side are in even worse condition than them!
This is also the biggest reason why Li Ce must decide the outcome with the opponent at dawn.
If the opposing army continues to advance, they will be outside the elf village. According to his plan, this is their last chance to take action.
At this moment, they were waiting quietly, and the sky in the distance gradually turned a little pale.
The morning mist on the grassland formed a layer of fog on them. Li Ce stretched his muscles and turned to look at the faces that were gradually being awakened by the light.
"Action begins! Go!!"
With the shout of "Gee", the cavalry team galloped directly across the grassland in the early morning.
The cavalry teams of the three forces joined together, and the noise caused by the galloping of the war horses was quite loud. On the grassland, the velociraptors who sensed their presence suddenly changed their expressions, and hurriedly pulled the reins, urging the velociraptors under them to run.
Faced with the urging of the Lizardmen, many velociraptors let out angry growls.
The harassment and attacks by Li Ce and his men before had left the lizardmen with almost no rest, and the velociraptors, who were their mounts, were naturally no exception.
At this moment, the velociraptors were all tired and sleepy. Compared to the Lizardmen, as a pure animal creature, the velociraptors themselves were less rational. Now each of them was showing a sense of irritability and did not cooperate with the Lizardmen's orders.
Faced with this situation, although the lizardmen were annoyed, they still patiently took out a piece of dried meat from their bodies and handed it to the mouth of the velociraptor.
Smelling the aroma of the jerky, Sulong took a bite of the jerky into his mouth, and after chewing it several times, he swallowed it.
After eating the jerky, the velociraptor finally recovered some strength and started running away.
During this time, a dragoon quickly grabbed the horn hanging at his waist and blew it.
The signal caused the dragoons who heard the noise to gather here one after another.
However, what was different from the past was that this time, Li Ce and his men, who also heard the sound of the horn, did not choose to escape, but instead made a detour in the direction where the sound came from.
During the simple detour, as expected, they easily found the dragoon squad that came to join them following the sound of the horn.
With only five riders, there was no need to deploy any cavalry archery tactics. Drogo and his men easily took them down with a single charge.
Li Ce, Silke and others led their respective cavalry teams to raid the two wings and soon found new targets.
Of course, the other party also discovered them! At the beginning of the action, before the other party reacted, they had no need to restrain themselves.
After saying hello to Drogo and the others, Li Ce, Silk and the others locked onto their target and rushed forward.
But the opposing velociraptor is not stupid either.
Although they were frantically searching for Li Ce and others that night, they all knew in their hearts that they would not be able to compete with the enemy with only five riders.
So as soon as they saw them, they immediately blew the horn and started running for their lives.
Later on, they simply scattered like birds and beasts, making it more difficult for them to pursue them.
It has to be said that tactics like "scatter like birds and beasts" are essentially as shameless as the cavalry archery tactics, and there is really no good way to deal with them.
Li Ce and his men's reckless state did not last long. It can even be said that the Lizardmen quickly gathered together to form a large group.
Li Ce and his men did not get carried away by their several successful achievements. They did not forget that compared with the Lizardmen, they were the ones who were at a disadvantage in terms of both manpower and strength.
Maintaining due vigilance, they gathered together and quickly broke through before the Swift Dragon Cavalry formed an encirclement.
Their charge caused the cavalry pursuit scene to be staged again on the grassland in the early morning.
The dragoons chasing them from behind quickly split into three. One group of cavalry continued to chase them from the rear, while the other two groups of cavalry dispersed on both wings, ready to look for opportunities to outflank them at any time.
Faced with such a situation, Li Ce and his men did not choose to run away, as that would not solve the problem.
They found the right opportunity, turned around and drew their bows, launching a counterattack with a rain of arrows. The familiar cavalry archery tactics were used again.
During this process, the tracking arrows of the elven cavalry, led by Silk, enabled them to better curb the actions of the swift dragon cavalry on both wings.
The whole situation has entered the stage of a war of attrition, and now it depends on who can outlast whom.
To be honest, Li Ce and his men would definitely have the advantage in a war of attrition, which made them very happy to continue this war of attrition.
But unfortunately, the other side is not very happy!
On the Lizardmen's side, the continuous arrival of follow-up troops accelerated the formation of their encirclement, and soon, a head-on collision that they had no way to avoid was already before them.
At the same time, on the road they had to pass, the swift dragoons on both wings were already in position. Li Ce could even imagine that when they forced their way through the frontal interception, the swift dragoons on the opposite wings would quickly surround and launch a pincer attack.
At this moment, Li Ce only felt a gust of wind passing by him, and the elf cavalry, who had been running parallel to them all the way, suddenly increased their speed and rushed ahead of them.
At the same time, Silk's voice came over...
"I will lead the team to break out!"
At that moment, looking at the elven cavalry rushing out quickly, there was a hint of trance in Li Ce's eyes.
If he was not dazzled, then at this moment, the elven cavalry led by Silk were surrounded by a powerful airflow visible to the naked eye!
Under the wrapping of this airflow, the elf cavalry did not hesitate at all, and quickly drew out the slender knight swords at their waists and charged at the speed dragon cavalry who tried to intercept them! (End of this chapter)
