Chapter 308 Layout
Having spent most of the day resting yesterday allowed Li Ce and the others to regain their energy.
Their highest priority attack target has always been the opponent's hunting team. While reducing the opponent's troops, they also steal the opponent's food, thereby achieving the purpose of a double blow to the lizard people.
But since the other side noticed their presence and began to invest patrols in large numbers, and started patrolling in the area, the patrols would often break into their field of vision before that.
At the same time, the hunting team became more cautious in their actions.
It is actually unrealistic to avoid patrols and hunt exclusively for hunting parties.
With a mentality of not fighting whoever they hit, they basically don't pick and choose. Whoever bumps into them first against the lizardman team opposite them will be unlucky.
On a new day, Li Ce and the others took the ten newly arrived cavalry with them, and with the mentality of catching whoever they wanted, Li Ce and the others acted aggressively.
As the distance from the lizardman camp gradually narrowed, the first target quickly broke into their sight.
“It’s just them!”
Without hesitation, they took action quickly after locking the target.
In a formation of horseshoes, Li Ce led the cavalry to appear forcefully. In the process, Li Ce's attention subconsciously focused on the green lizard infantry on the opposite side.
[Sure enough, they started to quench poison on the short spears! 】
The actions of these green lizard infantry can be said to be exactly the same as yesterday's group, but Li Ce and the others will no longer charge directly like they did yesterday.
“Tactics No. 5, fan formation unfolds!”
Almost at the same time as they entered their shooting range, their cavalry and archery formations quickly unfolded.
At the same time, the soldiers skillfully bent their bows and set arrows, and fired a hail of arrows directly towards the opposite position of the Green Lizard Infantry.
The unexpected arrow attack disrupted the original fighting rhythm of the green lizard infantry, causing them to fall into an obvious panic.
Under attack, some of the green lizard infantrymen fled in panic, and some directly threw the poison-quenched short spears in their hands.
However, the throwing distance was really limited, which made their spear throwing attack completely unable to threaten the cavalry led by Li Ce.
During this process, the five speed dragon cavalry on the side also moved quickly and went straight to Li Ce and others who had set up a cavalry and archery formation.
As a result, as soon as they made a move, the centaur clan dormant on the other side came out and quickly approached while cutting off their escape route.
In response to the lizard people's poisoning attack, when discussing new tactics yesterday, Drogo suggested that their centaur clan should take the lead and rush forward first, while Li Ce and others would provide cover and support from the side.
For this tactic, Li Ce put forward new ideas at the time.
After thinking about it for a while, he realized that Drogo and the others did not actually need to charge forward as soon as they came up. The biggest feature of the cavalry and archery tactics was that no one was required to charge into the battle as soon as they came up.
You can wait for them to enter first and launch an offensive with mounted shooting tactics, and then let Drogo and the others start intercepting and killing them based on the opponent's actions.
The entry of the centaur clan completely unfolded Li Ce's plan.
The poisoned spear attack could no longer threaten them. The target was the green lizard infantry on the opposite side. Another round of arrow rain passed, and the cavalry led by Li Ce gradually got better.
The battlefield in front of me seems to be chaotic, but in fact it is orderly and completely under Li Ce's control.
Just when Li Ce was about to maintain this tactic and completely defeat the opponent, a sound came from the distance, breaking Li Ce's original relaxed state.
【What's going on? Did the other side change the patrol frequency? But they probably don't have enough troops, or...] At this moment, looking at the speed dragon cavalry appearing from all directions, Li Ce's thoughts were whirling in his mind, and he had already guessed the answer.
But in the current situation, it doesn’t matter what the answer is. The point is that they must break through quickly.
At this moment, only the more mobile Velociraptors are coming. If they wait a little longer, the lizardman army will arrive!
"Drogo! Break out quickly!!"
As soon as Li Ce shouted these words, he found a group of dragon cavalry swooping down at full speed and directly cutting between their cavalry and the centaurs, dividing them.
Drogo saw this and immediately shouted...
"You guys break out first!"
Different from the Centaurs who rushed directly into the field, because Li Ce They maintained cavalry shooting tactics to suppress the green lizard infantry throughout the whole process, so they were currently on the edge of the battlefield, and there were no enemy soldiers around who could immediately restrain their actions. This made the speed dragon cavalry on the opposite side want to To intercept and kill them requires relatively more effort.
But at this moment, Li Ce had also noticed that several teams of speed dragon cavalry were approaching them at full speed.
Once you are stopped by them, you can imagine what the result will be.
If you want to support the Centaurs, they must not be surrounded. Otherwise, if you don't have enough time to take care of yourself, how can you have the energy to support others?
"Breakout formation!"
Without any nonsense, Li Ce quickly ordered a change of formation and led the cavalry under his command to rush towards the outside, intending to get rid of the lizard people's encirclement and rush to the outside. Then use cavalry and archery tactics to support and cover Drogo and the others.
But I don’t know what happened. The speed dragon cavalry on the opposite side appeared from their breakout route and intercepted them as if they had been ambushed.
Li Ce took a simple visual inspection and found that at least twenty or thirty riders had cut off their retreat!
This discovery made Li Ce's heart sink. Although the speed dragon cavalry are not as capable of frontal collisions as them, the threat will double when there are more of them.
To even speak of it, this is not a question of whether we can win or not.
【Where and where should we break out? ! Every route is blocked by the opposite side. No matter which way I go, I will be flanked by at least two teams of Velociraptor Cavalry. Once I am delayed, more Velociraptor Cavalry will besiege me...]
When he thought of this, Li Ce's entire face instantly turned livid.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sharp sound breaking through the air suddenly came from the distance.
With azure light and shadow, arrows shot from behind a hilly area swept straight towards a group of speed dragon cavalry.
The opposing velociraptor cavalry did not panic when they saw this, and quickly jumped away by relying on the velociraptor's flexibility and speed.
Just when the lizard people thought that the threat had been resolved, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred, and the flying arrows seemed to have eyes.
As the speed dragon cavalry jumped away, the arrows turned and flew in a long arc.
The unexpected situation left the speed dragon cavalry unprepared and they were caught off guard on the spot.
At the same time, with the sound of horse hooves, the elven cavalry headed by Silk appeared on the hilly ground in the distance.
“Break out this way!!”
