Chapter 456: The Battle Begins
Although these giant lizards are far smaller than the ankylosaurs, their heads are as big as a car. Once a certain number of them gather, it is really impossible for cavalry units to charge head-on.
Under this premise, what is even more troublesome is that the giant lizard has both explosive power and speed, posing a great threat to the cavalry units.
As soon as this side appeared, Diak and his team felt the pressure doubled.
"spread!"
The monitor lizards blocked their way, forcing Diak and his men to stop their charge. While signaling their fellow tribesmen to disperse and reduce the risk posed by the monitor lizards, they switched to using bows and arrows to attack the monitor lizards.
But the situation did not improve. The dense footsteps behind them clearly told them that the velociraptors that they had dispersed before had regained their footing and were chasing them! When they turned around, they found that the centaurs led by Diak were surrounded.
Not only did they fail to rush directly to the Lizardmen's infantry position and kill the high priest, they also got themselves killed. At this point, Diak and his team's actions could basically be declared a failure.
The high priest in the distance saw this and sneered.
If those centaurs thought they could rush to him so easily, or even kill him, they would be too naive.
However, he could not deny that the intervention of this group of Centaurs did have a certain impact on his plan.
As his thoughts raced, the high priest's gaze fell on the battle between the Great Zhou cavalry and their dragon cavalry in the distance.
The battle over there did not turn out to be the crushing situation he had initially expected. Instead, the fight between the two sides was extremely tense.
Originally, he could send giant lizards or velociraptors to provide support at this time, but now these two forces have unexpected new tasks.
Putting these aside, the actual combat effectiveness of the Great Zhou cavalry was a little beyond his expectations.
Logically speaking, compared to the beginning, after several rounds of fighting between the two sides, the cavalry on the Great Zhou side suffered certain casualties, the troop strength declined, and the overall combat effectiveness should have decreased.
However, it now seems that their combat effectiveness has not only not decreased, but has increased.
The high priest was a little confused by this situation.
However, Soros, who was standing by, noticed something.
After all, compared with the high priest who is basically not here, Soros, who is in charge of the battlefield throughout the whole process, is the one who can most easily see the changes in the Great Zhou cavalry.
[Those human soldiers didn't have those equipment before, it seems they were delivered later.]
Needless to say, the increase in protective gear can significantly narrow the gap in individual combat power between their human soldiers and lizardmen soldiers.
From a racial perspective, the most obvious gap between the stronger 'Soruk', that is, the lizardman with blue scales and human soldiers comes from two aspects.
That is the innate stronger physical fitness and the naturally hard scales.
The scales covering the lizardmen's bodies are equivalent to a set of armor, providing them with excellent defense and greatly improving their survivability on the battlefield.
If the enemy stabs you with a gun and the gun hits your scales and fails to kill you, then you have a chance to stab the enemy to death with the same gun. To put it bluntly, it is that simple and crude.
Previously, on the Great Zhou cavalry side, except for the elite troops who had rattan armor soldiers, the armor of other cavalrymen was still at the level of wooden armor wrapped with a layer of leather and a layer of linen inside.
To put it nicely, it can be considered a composite armor, but its defensive strength is very limited. Once the two sides close the distance and engage in hand-to-hand combat, the disadvantage of the Great Zhou cavalry will be quickly magnified.
But now the situation is different. Once the scales are put on, the gap in defense power is suddenly narrowed.
The cavalrymen, protected by scale armor, no longer had to fear the attacks of the lizardmen as they did in the beginning, and could launch their attacks more freely.
In addition to the improvement in "hardware", the improvement in "software" such as combat experience is undoubtedly also very obvious.
The soldiers who survived the successive battles were all veterans who had adapted to the battlefield! Combining the two, the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Great Zhou cavalry became a matter of course.
Soros saw this and kept scanning the Great Zhou soldiers, finally his eyes fell on the three figures who were in the chaotic battlefield but still conspicuous.
[These three guys also have a great impact on the battle situation. ]
At this moment, the three figures targeted by Soros were Drogo, Silk and Zhou Chongshan!
Compared with ordinary soldiers, the strength of these three is visible to the naked eye. They can be regarded as the three sharp knives of the Great Zhou cavalry, driving the entire offensive.
But what surprised Soros the most was...
As his thoughts changed, Soros's gaze fell on Zhou Chongshan.
Drogo's individual strength is indeed very strong, there is no need to say more about that. Silk, thanks to the abilities of the elves, has excellent ability to break through, and Soros has known this for a long time.
Only Zhou Chongshan exceeded his expectations.
You know, the presence of this human being in his place was not that strong before, and was even a little weaker than the previous two.
As a result, Soros classified them into the category of stocks that require less attention.
Who would have thought that in this round of cavalry fighting, the bravery displayed by the other side actually supported half of the Great Zhou cavalry! "Die!!!"
In the chaos, Zhou Chongshan was covered in blood, holding a gun in one hand and a knife in the other. He shot the velociraptor in front of him to death with a gun, and at the same time, he held the sword tightly in his left hand, and slashed at the lizard man next to him who was trying to launch a sneak attack on him! His hands had long left the reins. Zhou Chongshan, who was holding two weapons, clamped his legs around the horse's belly to stabilize his body, and slashed wildly all the way. Looking at the battlefield, he was the only one with a violent aura, as if possessed by a ghost, and killed the craziest! "Who else is coming to die?!!"
With a roar, Zhou Chongshan looked at a swift dragoon rushing towards him and without saying a word, he threw the iron spear in his hand like a javelin.
With a sound of breaking through the air, the sword pierced the lizard man through the heart on the spot.
Then he bent down, picked up a crystal spear from the opposite side and started using it.
Zhou Chongshan was not picky about weapons. He would use them when he got them and throw them away when he needed to. Many weapons even became disposable consumables in his hands. He never worried about not having weapons to use.
His style of play requires very high abilities. As of now, it is a unique style that only he can master.
But it was precisely this completely unconventional fighting style that allowed Zhou Chongshan to kill so many enemies in this chaotic battle!
