Chapter 479: Interception
The combat effectiveness displayed by the Lizardmen’s troops in the rainforest environment completely exceeded their initial expectations.
After Zhou Chongshan issued the 'retreat' order, each team did not dare to delay and began to evacuate as quickly as possible.
However, they still have some distance to go before they can withdraw from the rainforest area, and the lizardmen infantry on the opposite side will not let them escape so easily.
They demonstrated their flexibility in the rainforest environment. The Lizardmen pursued them fiercely, and the Green Lizard Infantry kept outflank them from behind. The whole scene made them feel overwhelmed.
In this process, the existence of the green lizard infantry was actually just a hindrance, but as soon as they became a hindrance, the blue lizard sword and shield soldiers chasing behind them immediately attacked them, and another entanglement was inevitable.
So far, relying on the scale armor on their bodies, no one from them was killed in the brief fight, but many soldiers were injured.
According to the current situation, if this continues, it will be hard to say what will happen.
With this thought in mind, when his own troops were once again intercepted and harassed by the Green Lizard Infantry, Zhou Chongshan took a quick look and placed himself at the back of the troops.
"You guys continue to retreat, I'll cover your retreat!"
The focus of this wave is not on the green lizard infantry, but on the blue lizard sword and shield soldiers who are chasing behind!
As the thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Chongshan acted decisively and directly activated the mantra.
[Speed Enhancement! ]
Instantly, an invisible force was bestowed upon him. The moment his toes touched the ground, he suddenly showed amazing speed and leaped in front of one of the pursuing blue lizard sword and shield soldiers.
"die!!"
With the burst of acceleration, Zhou Chongshan's sword came so fast and fiercely that the blue lizard sword and shield soldier had no time to react and his head was chopped off on the spot!
At that moment, blood splashed directly onto Gruul's face.
Zhou Chongshan burst out with a speed even faster than before, which surprised Gruul. However, as a general leading the Blue Lizard Sword and Shield Soldiers in pursuit, he certainly did not intend to do nothing when faced with Zhou Chongshan who suddenly turned around and rushed over to kill him. He quickly raised his sword and rushed forward, trying to stop Zhou Chongshan's actions.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chongshan had no intention of engaging in a head-on confrontation with him at all.
He dodged him directly, and with his speed, he rushed to another blue lizard sword and shield soldier, and chopped him down on the spot!
Ordinary blue lizard sword and shield soldiers were no match for him at all. In just a blink of an eye, the powerful strength displayed by Zhou Chongshan was enough to frighten the pursuing blue lizard sword and shield soldiers.
"Fight me if you dare! Are you running away?!"
Seeing Zhou Chongshan bypassing him and chopping down his subordinates one after another, Gruul was extremely anxious. He had no place to vent his anger, so he could only provoke Zhou Chongshan again, trying to provoke him to fight.
In response, Zhou Chongshan didn't even bother to glance at him, and continued to attack the blue lizard sword and shield soldiers on the opposite side, chopping down every one he caught! Gruul wanted to catch up and intercept Zhou Chongshan, but Zhou Chongshan's speed was not slow, and with the blessing of the power of the mantra, his speed was obviously faster than Gruul's, and he was one step faster every time, so Gruul couldn't catch up with him at all.
They could only watch Zhou Chongshan relying on his speed to shuttle back and forth, killing seven people in and out!
"Don't worry about him, keep chasing the opposing large force!"
Realizing that he couldn't stop Zhou Chongshan, Gruul reacted quickly and changed his approach.
But how could he just ignore it?
Zhou Chongshan was indeed alone, and it was impossible for him to stop them all, but they soon discovered that as long as any of them went after the main force, Zhou Chongshan would immediately approach them and chop them to the ground with one knife!
For a while, a situation of "whoever wants to die will go after them" was formed.
Although it cannot be completely stopped, Zhou Chongshan's presence undoubtedly has a certain degree of containment effect on the pursuit of the Blue Lizard Sword and Shield Soldiers.
As long as the Blue Lizard Sword and Shield Soldiers are unable to pursue them in large numbers, it will be unrealistic for the Green Lizard Infantry alone to stop them when they are determined to retreat.
After breaking through the interception of the Green Lizard Infantry, just when the soldiers of the Great Zhou were thinking that they could successfully escape this time, a more dense and swift sound of footsteps came from the flank.
Li Tie, who heard the noise, quickly glanced over out of the corner of his eye.
As soon as he saw it, his face suddenly changed!
I saw a large group of dragoons appearing in the rain forest not far away!
Those velociraptors moved around in this complex rainforest environment by jumping and hopping, so flexibly that even Li Tie was dumbfounded.
But speaking objectively, the movement speed is definitely not comparable to that in the plains, but even so, it is much faster than the two legs of ordinary infantry.
A roundabout outflanking directly cut off their way! The faces of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, including Li Tie, turned pale. No one had expected that they could be intercepted by cavalry in such a complex rainforest environment. Who the hell could they reason with? At the same time, Soros, who was hiding in the dark, slowly exhaled a long breath.
The infantry strength of the Great Zhou army was a little beyond his expectations. He originally thought that after entering the rainforest, based on the combat capabilities of the lizardmen in the rainforest environment, it would be easy to defeat them.
Who would have thought that the other side could actually hold their ground and retreat.
In comparison, Zhou Chongshan's performance did not surprise Soros much. After all, he had already demonstrated his powerful strength beyond that of ordinary soldiers on the previous plain battlefield.
In any case, this discovery made Soros more eager to completely surround and kill them in this rainforest!
"Choosing to step into the rainforest is definitely the stupidest decision you have ever made."
Unexpectedly, just as he said this, a burst of urgent horns sounded from the position of the Great Zhou soldiers in the distance.
This situation gave Soros a sense of foreboding.
But at this point, there is no room for him to stop.
The Swift Dragon Cavalry, who had cut off the Great Zhou soldiers' path, quickly launched an offensive.
"Spread out! Use the surrounding trees as cover!"
Li Tie is a mountain man after all. Faced with this situation, he reacted quickly. It would be irrational to confront the cavalry head-on.
The signal has been sent, and what they have to do now is to buy time.
At the same time, outside the rainforest area, a burly and swift figure rushed all the way into the rainforest area, and directly broke into the battlefield at the fastest speed, and then let out a deafening roar!
