Chapter 496: A Dragnet
As a special cavalry unit, the dragoons are much more efficient than infantry units even in a complex rainforest environment.
In comparison, Skeleton Soldiers are at the other extreme.
On the wide plain battlefield, the Skeleton Soldiers can also overwhelm the enemy with the sea of troops tactics.
But in this complex environment, they can only try their best to hold back the opponent. Yes, literally, hold back the opponent.
Using skeleton soldiers as pendants for the opponent has always been Zhou Xu's usual rogue tactic. It is also one of the most effective skeleton tactics. It can be said that it fully utilizes the advantage of skeleton soldiers' fearlessness of death.
However, no matter how fearless the Skeleton Soldiers are, they will certainly not be able to defeat the opposing Raptors, especially when the opponent has an environmental advantage.
At this stage, the skeleton soldiers used as auxiliary troops need an auxiliary object, but their auxiliary object is currently being restrained by the blue lizard sword and shield soldiers and the green lizard infantry.
The two sides, who were supposed to cooperate with each other, were unable to cooperate in this wave. When the combination was split up, the impact on the combat effectiveness of both sides was very obvious.
Seeing a flaw on the opposite side, Zhou Chongshan attacked quickly and fiercely, directly chopping off the head of the blue lizard sword and shield soldier in front of him! At the same time, Zhou Chongshan quickly scanned the surroundings and confirmed the situation of his troops.
Unlike the earlier times when he only focused on killing the enemies, Zhou Chongshan now has some awareness as a general and knows to pay attention to the situation of his subordinates.
If the situation is critical on any side, he will provide support at the first time and help his subordinates break the impasse.
But in fact, regardless of the situation of the skeleton troops, having learned from the last lesson, the performance of their sword and shield troops this time was very well-planned.
According to the situation envisioned by their king and Li Ce during the tactical simulation, their sword and shield soldiers conducted special new tactical drills, forming formations in squads, with the squads covering each other.
Faced with their group defense, the Lizardman troops that attacked them could do nothing to them in a short period of time.
But on the other hand, facing the pincer attack from the Lizardman troops, they could not get rid of them for the time being.
Although judging from their condition, there would be no big problems if they continued to fight like this, Zhou Chongshan still signaled his personal soldiers beside him to give a signal without hesitation.
Hearing the signal sounding on the battlefield, Soros, who was hiding in the dark observing the situation, couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
This voice indeed sounded familiar to him.
Soon, accompanied by the roar of the beast, his guess was confirmed! Qiansui was familiar with the place and rushed into the battlefield with a roar.
The Blue Lizard Sword and Shield Soldiers' blocking was still somewhat effective against the Great Zhou's Sword and Shield Soldiers, but in front of Qiansui, who was obviously not of the same level as them, they were as fragile as thin paper and had no deterrent effect at all.
Chitose moved extremely quickly, and one of the blue lizard sword and shield soldiers had no time to dodge before Chitose had already rushed in front of him.
An astonishing feeling of oppression mixed with fear hit the blue lizard sword and shield soldier, causing him to scream, and at the same time he instinctively raised the shield in his hand to try to parry.
However, how could this level of defense work in front of Qiansui? Maintaining his momentum of rapid advance, without even a second's pause, Qiansui slapped him with an extremely smooth gesture.
At that moment, there was a sound of bones breaking, and the blue lizard sword and shield soldier flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.
The body was obviously twisted and deformed during the backward flight. The opponent was killed instantly when the palm landed. Now it was just a corpse flying backward! Soros, who was hiding in the dark and watching this scene, had a gloomy face that seemed to be dripping with water.
As early as the last time Qiansui appeared, he had already suspected whether Qiansui was a supernatural creature?
Now this guess can be basically confirmed. Whether it is the opponent's roar or the palm just now, they all contain special power. This is definitely not an ordinary means of attack!
Humans, elves, centaurs, and now there are supernatural creatures and skeleton soldiers. The more Soros thinks about this hodgepodge combination, the weirder it seems.
But faced with the reality that is already before us, it is useless to continue to worry about this problem.
Putting aside his terrible mood, Soros was actually quite calm at this moment, and did not lose his composure because of Qiansui's appearance.
Just like after the last rainforest battle, Zhou Xu and Li Ce combined the new intelligence to make deductions and developed targeted tactics, Soros did the same.
If he didn't make any preparations knowing that there was such an extraordinary creature on the opposite side, he could only blame himself for being stupid.
Soros had already made arrangements for this possible situation. Almost at the moment when Qiansui appeared, the velociraptors who were clearing out the skeleton soldiers immediately scattered by relying on the velociraptors' swiftness in the rainforest environment.
That's right, when facing this kind of unit, the easiest way is to disperse.
No matter how strong Qiansui is, it has to hit its target one by one, right?
Therefore, as long as they scatter, Qiansui's killing efficiency will be greatly reduced.
After that, with a further mission, several Raptors also tried to lure Chitose away.
Faced with this action, Qiansui just glanced at the other party, then turned around and pounced on another target.
This made Soros' eyes flash with regret.
[The brains of extraordinary creatures are indeed not comparable to those of ordinary beasts. It seems that it is impossible to lead it away. 】
[Forget it, I have a backup plan anyway. ]
Without hesitation, Soros figured it out quickly. Meanwhile, the dragoons on the battlefield had already implemented his backup plan and attacked directly towards the enemy's sword and shield troops not far away!
[Right, that's it! Anyway, those skeleton soldiers have been destroyed almost completely, so it doesn't matter if we ignore them. We can just go and fight with the enemy! ]
The tactical plan he had arranged in advance was able to be faithfully implemented, and Soros was very satisfied with the current performance of his subordinates.
[A big thing like this needs space to be used. Once the enemy and us are in a melee, this big thing will easily injure our own troops by mistake. Let me see what you are going to do now! ]
Through pre-war simulations, Soros's grasp of the entire current war situation is still very accurate.
At the same time, Zhou Xu, who was on the plain, had no idea what was happening in the rainforest at this stage.
However, he could roughly know through his sensing of the skeleton soldiers that a large number of them had been destroyed.
So he...
[Controlled by Skeleton Soldiers! ]
Although he was not clear about the specific situation inside, Zhou Xu did not show any hesitation in pulling his skeleton soldiers back up!
