Chapter 1257 A Kind of Torture
For the next two hours, according to Li Ce's arrangement, except for the soldiers responsible for surveillance missions, all other soldiers in the air force rested on the spot.
If we were to say who is the most tired among the coalition forces these two days, it would definitely be them.
Ever since the discovery of the large greenskin army, the air force has been operating at almost full speed over the past two days, with no rest at all.
After two days of hard work, not to mention the Giant Eagle Knight, even the Pegasus Knight with better physical fitness could hardly bear it. The sporadic rest time in between made it impossible for them to have a good rest.
The two hours given by Li Ce allowed them to take a good breath, and their whole state was relieved.
At the same time, the greenskin army...
Maybe the greenskins didn't have a clear concept of time in minutes and hours, but after the constant harassment from the air forces before, they had a basic idea of how long fifteen minutes was.
After they figured out that the time was almost up, they subconsciously tensed up, then looked up at the sky, thinking, "It's almost time."
In the end, I waited and waited but nothing happened.
This time, the greenskins' first reaction was not relief, but panic.
"WAAAAGH! What are they planning to do?"
Once every fifteen minutes is a stable frequency.
After figuring out the pattern, the greenskins only need to stick to the rules and pay a little attention, and they can rest assured and take a rest at other times.
But now, this rule is suddenly broken.
The attack, which was supposed to be stable, was suddenly injected with unstable factors, which made the greenskins visibly become irritable and anxious.
Because they don't know when the explosive bomb will suddenly fall.
It felt like there was a knife hanging right above their heads.
The resulting anxiety makes it impossible for them to rest in peace.
Soon, an hour passed...
The greenskins forced themselves to rest. They were indeed so tired that they felt dizzy and dazed, but they couldn't fall asleep at all.
Those who have not experienced it cannot imagine how painful and tormented this state is! In comparison, the air force, which holds the dominant position, is much more comfortable.
The two-hour rest time was enough for them to take a nap, and the Giant Eagle and Pegasus also got some rest during this time.
After waking up, they were obviously more energetic.
Without any delay, after a little preparation, we set off again immediately.
Two hours is a rather delicate period.
This time span was enough for their anxiety to gradually calm down under the constant erosion of time and sleepiness, and then...
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the nerves of countless greenskins seemed to be broken at this moment.
"WAAAAGH!!!"
If they were given a chance at this moment, they would rush forward without hesitation and die together with the opponent.
Unfortunately, they now don’t even have the chance to die together, and are just being tortured unilaterally.
Looking at the almost crazy greenskins below, the Pegasus knight who was flying in the air and had just completed the bombing work only felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
If someone asks them who is the most powerful commander in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they may not be able to answer. But if they are asked who is the most terrifying commander in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they will definitely say those two words without hesitation: Li Ce!
Fighting against Li Ce would definitely be a torture! In any case, Li Ce's arrangement gave the air force responsible for implementing this tactic a new idea.
There was no need for Li Ce to arrange the whole process. Since then, the air force followed suit. The subsequent bombing frequency began to become sometimes regular and sometimes irregular. The two modes were interspersed with each other, torturing the will of the opposing greenskin troops throughout the process.
According to the greenskin general's original idea, he wanted to rest until noon and then start the pursuit.
After all, he also knew that the enemy troops had already run a long way ahead of them. If they didn't chase them, it would be difficult to catch up.
But the reality still made him rest until dark.
When it became completely dark, the first thing the greenskin general did was to order a move.
The Da Zhou had already used every possible means on the previous night, so this night it was impossible to launch a harassment attack as before.
During this period, Giant Eagle Knight and Pegasus Knight also do not have night vision.
Under the cover of night, once the opposing force moved, the difficulty of re-locking the target increased exponentially.
The Giant Eagle Knight realized that the target was lost and quickly turned back to report to Li Ce.
This situation was within Li Ce's expectations. After hearing the exact report, he did not show any anxiety on his face.
"No rush. Just cordon off a large area and arrange for patrol teams to patrol. The rest of you can rest."
According to the distance they have opened up between themselves and the greenskins at this stage, the greenskins will not be able to catch up even if they are given one night.
After completing the most basic vigilance work, they can rest assured, get enough rest, and then continue their journey when daybreak. To put it bluntly, it is a cycle.
At the same time, under the cover of night, the large greenskin army that had moved its location finally ushered in a rare period of peace.
The greenskin general, who had already lost his temper, wanted to launch a pursuit overnight.
Just when he was about to give the order, the Blood Hand King next to him finally couldn't bear it anymore.
The main thing is that if the other party continues to torment them like this, the casualties of their Blood Hand Clan will continue to increase.
"We can't go on like this. If you chase them at night, when we need to rest during the day, they will come and harass us again like they did today."
"We are chasing at night and being harassed during the day. We don't get much rest time at all. Sooner or later, we will be worn down."
While speaking, Blood Hand King did not hesitate and directly expressed his thoughts...
"We should change our thinking, rest at night, get enough energy, and start the pursuit after dawn. This way, although the enemy will still harass us, at least we are in good condition, and at most it will only have a certain impact on our pursuit efficiency."
“…”
A greenskin who could cultivate to the peak of the Vajra Realm and become a general in the greenskin royal family certainly couldn't be a fool.
The main reason was that he hadn't had a good rest for too long. He was physically and mentally exhausted, and Li Ce broke his mentality, which led to his current state.
After hearing what Bloody Hand King said, the Greenskin General took a deep breath of the cold night air and had to admit that the other party's arrangement was more reliable.
Things have come to this point, and the casualties under his command have reached a point where he has to produce some results.
Thinking of this, the green-skinned general spoke in a deep voice...
"Pass on my order, the entire army is to rest."
