Chapter 458 The battlefield has changed
Drogo's roar was full of energy. On this chaotic battlefield, it was like thunder on the ground, frightening the surrounding lizard soldiers to the point where their hearts trembled. At the same time, pay attention The power was also transferred accordingly.
In an instant, the body of the lizardman general, which was lifted up like a flag, became the focus of everyone's attention.
After recognizing the identity of the corpse, the faces of the lizard soldiers showed a burst of unconcealable panic.
The two armies are fighting, and the impact of the death of generals on the morale of the troops cannot be ignored, even if only one of many generals dies.
Morale was frustrated, and the attack of the dragon cavalry was obviously affected, and they were not as brave as they were at the beginning.
Li Ce, who had been observing the situation throughout the whole process, saw this and quickly ordered his troops to launch a fierce attack, intending to take this opportunity to shorten the strength gap between them in one fell swoop.
But the high priest is not stupid. Although he is unhappy with the defeat in the battle with the large army, it does not make him lose his mind.
Seeing that the situation there had changed, the high priest did not intend to let the large army fight hard, and quickly issued a new order.
After receiving the order, the large force of Dragon Cavalry retreated decisively.
Gruul, who was having a hard time fighting Zhou Chongshan at the time, was no exception.
From his previous actions when he saw that the situation was not good and he took the initiative to go to the southern battlefield to get rid of the mess here, it is not difficult to see that Gruul is definitely not a fool.
When it was time to run, he didn't hesitate at all.
But how could Zhou Chongshan just let him go?
“Where to run?!”
Amidst the roar, Zhou Chongshan looked at Gruul's back as he turned and fled, and directly threw the spar short spear in his hand.
Although Gruul was aware of it, he could not completely avoid it. He was hit on the left shoulder on the spot, blood spattered, and he grimaced in pain.
He should be lucky that the sharp spearhead of this crystal short spear had basically been broken during the previous fight. Otherwise, judging from Zhou Chongshan’s previous performance, this throw would have a high probability of being directly Through his shoulders!
At this moment, the Dragon Cavalry receded like a tide.
However, the Zhou army, which had superior morale at that time and gradually took control of the situation, was so willing to let them go?
The opportunity was fleeting, and this confrontation had already reached the most critical turning point for their Da Zhou troops. If this wave was fought successfully, the situation would inevitably change.
There is no time to hesitate, just launch the pursuit and expand the results!
The Zhou cavalry, equipped with mounted archery skills, were very capable in pursuit. Their pursuit made the opposing Velociraptor cavalry retreat in an extremely embarrassed manner, and the number of casualties continued to increase during this period.
Until a wall suddenly broke into their field of vision, blocking their arrow attacks.
It’s an armored dragon!
Those velociraptor cavalry did not evacuate towards the rear from the beginning, but moved towards the moving shield dragon phalanx.
After closing the distance, he relied on the agility of the Velociraptor to jump into the gap between the armored dragon formations and hid directly inside the formations.
Hiding from the opposite side, the moving armored dragon didn't even need to do anything, it became the best cover for the speed dragon cavalry.
Ordinary arrows falling on the armored dragon's body would probably not even be as effective as scratching it.
Not to mention that in order to ensure the cavalry's ability to shoot on horseback, the cavalry are equipped with short bows that can be drawn quickly. Their power is weaker than normal infantry bows and arrows, and against shields Ankylosaurus is even less effective.
The Zhou cavalry undoubtedly knew this and simply stopped their arrow attacks. At the same time, Li Ce, who had caught the opportunity, commanded the crossbow troops to find the output position, and opened the three-bow bed crossbow to attack in one go.
Compared with the weak bows and arrows in front of the armored dragon, the destructive power of the giant crossbow is undoubtedly much more powerful.
But after a round of attacks, Li Ce quickly realized that according to the current situation, the giant crossbow arrow could not open up the situation for him.
[As before, it is difficult for the crossbow troops to severely damage these big guys at this stage. The focus now is not to allow the opposite speed dragon cavalry to regroup. 】
[If the crossbow troops are allowed to continue attacking, the cavalry troops will not be able to get close, and the speed dragon cavalry on the opposite side will have a chance to breathe...]
Thinking of this, Li Ce's eyes narrowed and he made an immediate decision.
Quickly ordered the crossbow troops to stop attacking, and at the same time signaled the cavalry troops to rush in and continue to pursue the dragon cavalry.
His order is undoubtedly risky.
But in the current situation, due to the arrival of reinforcements from the opposite side, the lizardmen's strength has completely exceeded them.
Under this premise, if he doesn't seize this hard-won reversal opportunity, how can he make a comeback? !
In order to win, some risks have to be taken, like now.
Zhou Chongshan, Drogo and Silk didn't think much about it, but after receiving the order, they still acted without hesitation.
As soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty, it is their bounden duty to obey orders!
The gap between the phalanx composed of four-headed armored dragons is still very large, and even the internal space can be said to be spacious, otherwise the lizardman troops would not be able to stay inside.
Now it is not difficult at all for the Zhou cavalry to pursue them through the gap.
The Velociraptor Cavalry, who originally thought they had successfully escaped from pursuit, saw that the Zhou Cavalry was bold enough to pursue them, and the internal scene that had just calmed down once again fell into chaos.
But this chaotic scene did not last forever. During the fight, even Drogo and Zhou Chongshan, who originally faced ordinary dragon cavalry, were directly killing them. I feel that these dragon cavalry seem to have become difficult to deal with.
But all of a sudden I couldn’t tell what the problem was.
During this period, as the commander, Li Ce, who was standing on the outside observing the situation, was a bystander.
Looking at the phalanx formed around the four-headed armored dragon, the velociraptor cavalry kept running in and out, even jumping left and right.
He suddenly realized something!
"The battlefield has changed!!"
This discovery made Li Ce's expression change suddenly.
As mentioned earlier, the advantage of the dragon cavalry is their flexibility and quickness. This advantage can be brought into full play in some more complex battlefield environments. In the plain area where there is a flat plain, and when riding a war horse, Compared with the Zhou cavalry, they have no advantage, and can even be said to be at a disadvantage.
But now the situation is different. The existence of the four-headed Ankylosaurus is equivalent to throwing four huge obstacles there, making the originally simple plain battlefield suddenly become more complicated.
It also allowed the velociraptor cavalry to take advantage of its flexibility and speed. In contrast, the advantages of the Zhou cavalry were suppressed by the presence of the four obstructive armored dragons!
