Chapter 296 The Cavalry is dispatched
For the specific troop mobilization, they will undoubtedly have to go back and make arrangements.
The centaur clan headed by Drogo has nothing to say. Now, including Drogo himself, there are only seven clansmen in total. There is no room for distribution at all, so all members can only be dispatched.
As for Prairie Village, their leader previously ordered that ten vine armor soldiers transferred from Black Moon Village have now arrived at Prairie Village.
At this time, there are a total of twenty rattan soldiers and twenty regular army soldiers in Prairie Village, not counting the militia's combat strength.
"How are the training of those wild horses that were captured before?"
Back in the village, Li Ce and Zhuo Ge immediately went about their own affairs. There was no time to waste now.
Needless to say, the riding skills of the twenty Vine Armor Soldiers. As their elite combat force in the Great Zhou Dynasty, each Vine Armor Soldier received the most rigorous training and was also among the first two batches to be drafted into the army. Soldier.
As for the twenty regular soldiers recruited later, Li Ce naturally also gave them intensive training. Now, each one of them can be said to be proficient in riding skills.
But the problem now is that in the past, because of the limited number of mounts, they took turns riding horses for training.
Now there are forty war horses. Theoretically, every soldier can be matched with a war horse, but the problem is that sixteen of them were recently captured!
Although they had basically tamed the wild horses from the moment they captured them, cavalry operations require tactical coordination, and it is obviously impossible for wild horses to be tamed as soon as they come up. Can do it.
During this period, in order to speed up the training efficiency of the war horses and improve the tacit understanding between the soldiers and the war horses, Li Ce directly let the soldiers eat and live together with the newly captured horses.
And all the training was focused on running in with the horses and cavalry tactical training.
The soldiers who are responsible for riding these sixteen war horses are undoubtedly good at riding. Now there will definitely be no problem if they are allowed to ride and move normally.
But Li Ce was afraid that during the battle, something might happen to the sixteen horses that had not received sufficient training, and the entire cavalry team would be implicated.
But if the angle is changed again, these sixteen war horses and the corresponding cavalry must definitely need to receive actual combat training for running-in.
The task that needs to be performed now is to avoid the harassment task of direct confrontation between the two sides. The pressure that the cavalry need to bear is relatively small. The sixteen war horses and cavalry are properly put into battle and accumulated Actual combat experience and speeding up their running-in may not be a bad choice.
Faced with the multiple-choice question before him, Li Ce made an arrangement after struggling for a while.
“Send my order to summon all the soldiers to gather outside the village.”
After the order was issued, the forty soldiers currently in the grassland village gathered quickly.
Standing in front of the neatly arranged phalanx, Li Ce talked about the situation directly without talking nonsense.
“Everyone must have known that the Lizardmen have invaded this grassland. Now we have reached a consensus with the Centaur clan and the grassland elves and decided to send out the cavalry team first and divide it into three groups. Shooting tactics harass the opponent and consume the opponent's troops..."
After briefly introducing the situation, Li Ce quickly made arrangements for the distribution of troops.
To put it simply, it is a group of twenty riders, and they are rotated.
Considering the size of the lizardmen on the opposite side, once this wave of operations is launched, it will inevitably form a long-term deal.
If the same group of cavalry is always performing tasks there, physical fatigue will inevitably accumulate over time, which is not conducive to future battles. The rotation in two batches not only ensures the flexibility of the cavalry team, but also ensures that each batch of cavalry can get regular rest. It is already a very reasonable arrangement.
Early the next morning, with dry food in hand, the twenty riders headed by Li Ce officially set off. He did not go straight to the destination, but kept a safe distance. Next, slowly detour around the periphery.
At this moment, the large army of lizardmen is undoubtedly concentrated in the camp at the end of the world, but without considering the centaurs and grassland elves, they are the main ones. With only twenty cavalry troops, charge straight into the opponent's camp?
Even if you adopt a mounted shooting tactic and run away if you can't beat them, the risk is too great.
Don’t forget, there are also dragon cavalry on the opposite side!
And neither of them has officially fought against each other.
At this moment, Li Ce's thinking is very simple. Since the opponent is coming, he must have a mentality of occupying the territory.
Under this premise, what must be done?
Of course, they would send out a reconnaissance team to explore the surrounding environment!
At the same time, according to the news received from the grassland elves, the lizard people seem to be still hunting on the grassland to obtain food.
Then he will directly target the reconnaissance team and hunting team on the opposite side!
Turning over and dismounting, Li Ce's adjutant lay down directly and put his ear to the grass, as if listening for something.
“There is movement in the southeast, about two kilometers away, but it’s not big.”
Whether it is a cavalry team, cattle and horses, or a group of wild animals such as antelopes, they will make sounds when they run.
They often use this trick when looking for prey on the grassland.
The ability to listen to sounds with your hands on the ground requires not only good ears, but also extremely rich experience to make relatively accurate judgments.
Li Ce undoubtedly trusted his adjutant. After receiving the information, they pulled the reins without saying a word and led the cavalry under his command towards the southeast.
The distance of two or three kilometers can be reached in the blink of an eye for the cavalry.
Even before they were officially close, the two sides had already discovered each other first.
That was the Speed Dragon Cavalry composed of ten cavalry. The other party was in the energy channel before. Li Ce did not see the true appearance of the other party, so their leader ordered to retreat.
After listening to the descriptions of Drogo and the prairie elves, Li Ce also had a vague impression of them.
It was not until he saw it with his own eyes that the appearance of these dragon cavalry in his place became completely clear.
The Velociraptor had green skin, an exceptionally large head, and a long mouth full of fine fangs, making everyone clearly aware that it was a ferocious carnivore.
Although the forelimbs are short, the three fingers look quite sharp and undoubtedly possess a certain degree of lethality.
The lizard man riding on the back of the velociraptor is covered with hard blue scales. He is tall and has white sharp horns on the tip of his nose, forehead, and even the back of his shoulders. Holding a spear as a weapon.
But these are not the most eye-catching things. Among this ten-man team of dragon cavalry, the most eye-catching thing is a large blue lizard with a body length of five meters!
And the big lizard was carrying the carcasses of two bison on its back!
