Chapter 314 Strength Advantage
As early as Silk and the others showed up, the alarm horns of the lizardmen army had already sounded, realizing that the enemy was once again coming to harass the lizardman commander who attacked them. , angrily sent the dragon cavalry to attack.
As soon as he saw the speed dragon cavalry coming out to attack, Silk, who was leading the team, immediately took the lead and slowed down the pace.
The cavalry team, which was originally approaching the lizardman army, changed its offensive and began to spread out its formation, assuming a posture of waiting for work and waiting for the speed dragon cavalry from the opposite side to rush up and give the opposite side a head-on attack.
The large army of lizardmen indeed put tremendous pressure on Silk, but this did not mean that he would make some stupid decisions because of it.
Riding and shooting tactics essentially evolved from hunting. As a group living on the grassland, Hilke and the others naturally mastered them and could use them skillfully.
Coupled with their arrows with tracking capabilities, they used mounted archery tactics, and their threat and suppression power were superior to Li Ce and the others!
At this time, in order to reduce the effective strength of the lizardman army, Silk and the others were not polite at all. They attacked each other with round after round of arrows, constantly greeting each other.
The purpose is to seize the consumption opportunities at this stage and reduce the pressure they will have to endure in the future.
To a certain extent, in terms of archery, the elves’ archery is better than that of the centaurs. After all, the arrows shot by the centaurs do not have eyes and cannot chase them. Run after them.
Led by Silk, the arrows of the elven cavalry gave them a sense of panic with nowhere to hide. As a result, every time the prairie elves bent their bows and set an arrow, their mental state would inevitably fall into a high state. nervous.
Under this premise, the disadvantage in speed also made it impossible for their speed dragon cavalry to approach easily in a short period of time.
But the lizard people are not fools after all. They can't handle it head-on. They also know how to fight from the side.
There was no need to even avoid Silk and the others. In front of the Elf Knights, they divided into three and gave full play to their numerical advantage. While ensuring a frontal advance, they divided into two groups. The cavalry team moved to the left and right, avoiding the pressure of the frontal offensive and preparing to outflank the elf knights.
When the Velociraptor Cavalry originally concentrated in one place, Hilke and the others only needed to suppress one area with arrows, and they were able to successfully curb the approaching speed of all the Velociraptor Cavalry on the opposite side.
But now that the speed dragon cavalry on the opposite side are scattered, it is undoubtedly a big trouble for them who are at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
At this moment, facing the speed dragon cavalry who had already launched their battle, in order to avoid being surrounded, they had to start to reduce the frequency of attacks and put more energy and time into moving and blocking On the formation of the encirclement on the opposite side.
At the same time, on the other side, Li Ce and others, who also took the opportunity to approach the lizard man army, were undoubtedly intercepted and killed by the speed dragon cavalry on the opposite side.
Obviously, the lizardmen commander on the opposite side also knew that the infantry units accounted for the vast majority of their large army. Once the cavalry on the opposite side approached, it was likely to pose a threat to their large army. They must be in Before the other party gets close, contain the other party's actions.
For this reason, after a slight hesitation, the lizardman leader quickly sent out giant lizards to assist the Velociraptor Cavalry in the battle.
Li Ce's expression changed slightly as he watched the giant lizard move across from him. Then, needless to say, a cavalryman beside him rode away alone.
Not long after that, a bone whistle sounded, causing the giant lizard that was about to take action to freeze, while the lizardmen's expressions changed.
Don’t forget, they also have one of the bone whistles that drive the monitor lizard.
The other side blew a bone whistle, and they also followed suit.
The giant lizard is not very smart. As soon as the bone whistles on both sides were blown, it immediately didn't know what to do, which greatly reduced the pressure on Li Ce and the others.
When the news was fed back, the lizardman commander's face was so dark that it was terrifying.
Fortunately, although the giant lizard is not smart enough, it still recognizes the lizard people for the time being, and will not turn around and attack them directly after listening to the bone whistle.
But this was not enough to change the bad mood of the lizardman leader.
“That idiot actually let the bone whistle fall into the hands of the enemy!!” Due to the limitation of intelligence, the monitor lizard cannot understand any complicated commands and can only carry out actions through the simple sound of the bone whistle.
Therefore, there is no doubt how important the bone whistle is to them lizard people.
Logically speaking, even if the lizard man holding the bone whistle dies, he should destroy the bone whistle before death to prevent the bone whistle from falling into the hands of the enemy.
The lizardman commander never expected that the captain of the previous hunting team would make such a big mistake.
When he thought of this, the lizardman commander really wanted to hang that idiot up and let him die again!
Relying on the restraint of the bone whistle and the speed advantage of the war horse, Li Ce took a deep breath and started to deal with the opponent.
But on the lizard people's side, after taking advantage of their strength, Li Ce and the others had to retreat.
After all, among the three cavalry teams, in terms of physical fitness, they are definitely not as good as the centaurs headed by Drogo, and in terms of suppression methods, they are not as good as the elven cavalry headed by Silk .
In the process, they figured out the weaknesses of the Velociraptor Cavalry and knew that the Velociraptor Cavalry's speed and endurance could not match their horses.
But on the other hand, why didn’t the Dragon Cavalry understand their weaknesses?
Their biggest weakness is that the flexibility of war horses is far inferior to that of velociraptors!
When a war horse needs to change direction, its speed will inevitably be affected, especially if it changes direction continuously.
Seizing this weakness, relying on their numerical advantage, the Velociraptor Cavalry directly attacked and intercepted them.
Under this premise, whether Li Ce chooses to engage in a head-on confrontation with the speed dragon cavalry blocking the road, or to avoid it, the speed of their cavalry will be affected, thus creating a problem for other speed dragon cavalry. The chance to chase him up.
Invisibly, Li Ce has been dragged into the opponent's rhythm.
At this moment, it is impossible for Li Ce not to know the purpose of the speed dragon cavalry, but there are some methods that cannot be avoided if you know them.
"Damn it!"
With a whispered curse, Li Ce quickly activated his mantra while leading the cavalry team to deal with the opposing speed dragon cavalry.
【Skeleton soldier control! 】
In order to cover Drogo and the others when they fought their way out of the siege, all the lizardman skeletons they had collected were thrown away without a chance to be recovered. Now there was not a single skeleton on them.
Now he can only look at his luck and see if he can attract some ‘wild skeletons’ for his use.
At the same time, after the pterodactyl rider successfully found Drogo and the others with his own speed dragon cavalry, he stopped caring about the situation on the other side and turned around to search for traces of the other two enemy cavalry teams. And quickly found this side.
Through the aerial vision, the entire situation was clearly visible in his eyes.
"That human cavalry is blowing a bone whistle to interfere with the movement of the monitor lizard?"
Although he doesn't know what is happening here, he already knows what to do!
When the target was only one human cavalry, and the other party had not yet discovered him, the pterosaur rider had no intention of hiding anymore.
Controlling the pterosaur under the seat, he swept towards the human soldier below who was blowing the bone whistle with one strike!
