Chapter 485 Night Attack (3)
After receiving the order, fifty dragon cavalry quickly dispatched, aiming directly at the crossbow troops in the distance.
Listening to the noise, Zhou Chongshan, who was hiding in the dark, glanced in the direction of the sound.
"They are indeed here, intercept them before they get close to the crossbow troops, let's go!"
With Zhou Chongshan's order, the Great Zhou cavalry waiting aside moved accordingly. , the clanking iron hoofs made the speed dragon cavalry dispatched on the opposite side immediately aware of the approach of the Zhou cavalry.
Cavalrymen like them will master a skill over time, that is, they can roughly guess how many people are coming from the opposite side by listening to the movement.
After this ear passed, it was basically certain that the number of cavalry on the opposite side was significantly greater than theirs, which made the fifty speed dragon cavalry here suddenly feel a desire to retreat.
But it's obviously too late!
On the plain battlefield, the movement speed of the conventional cavalry troops completely exceeded that of the speed dragon cavalry.
In the blink of an eye, the Zhou cavalry led by Zhou Chongshan had already approached a certain distance.
"Fire Arrow!!"
While roaring, while maintaining his riding posture, Zhou Chongshan quickly pulled out an arrow from a separate leather bag.
Then he lowered his waist and hung sideways on the horse. Using the speed of the horse, he struck the arrow on the ground like a match.
With the flying sparks, the arrow in Zhou Zhongshan’s hand burst into flames!
“Let it go!”
In an instant, a fire arrow cut through the dark night and shot at the speed dragon cavalry in the distance.
A round of fire arrows did not bring astonishing lethality to the Velociraptor Cavalry, but it brought firelight to the originally dark environment, allowing Zhou Chongshan and the others to gain visibility!
Needless to say, this is the main reason why Zhou Chongshan and the others specially prepared fire arrows and used them at this time.
Unless there is a large amount of combustibles in the target position, how lethal can the small flame of the fire arrow itself be?
“Kill!!”
Using firelight to point the direction, the Zhou Chongshan cavalry led by Zhou Chongshan quickly put on their iron guns and burst into a charging roar!
Between the lightning and flint, the Great Zhou cavalry troops galloping all the way collided directly. The cold iron spears used the momentum brought by the horses to ruthlessly penetrate the bodies of the speed dragon cavalry.
The cavalry team composed of only fifty dragon cavalry was basically as fragile as tissue paper in front of the group charge of the Zhou cavalry. They were defeated in just one charge!
The lizard man commander who saw this scene from a distance looked ugly and quickly signaled to the soldiers on the side to send a signal and summon the cavalry troops to come over for support.
The long-term battle has made the Zhou army aware of most of the Lizardmen's signals.
In fact, it doesn't matter even if you don't understand. Anyway, when the signal from the other side sounds, basically nothing good will happen.
Faced with this situation, Zhou Chongshan also asked the messenger soldier beside him to send a signal.
The main purpose is to notify the rear garrison camp that the situation has changed. As for Drogo and Diak, their mission itself is to hold back the large cavalry force on the opposite side.
As long as the cavalry force on the opposite side makes new moves, Drogo and Diak will definitely take action as soon as possible. This is their mission. Whether or not a signal is sent here has little impact.
During this process, the crossbow troops did not seem to be restrained by the signal sent by the lizard man.
The round of fire arrows fired by Zhou Chongshan and others further provided them with a field of vision, allowing them to launch a more precise second round of strikes. The screams of the armored dragon indicated that they had once again successfully hit the target.
Time is precious, their actions are still going on, and they don't mind directly knocking down an enemy armored dragon at this stage.
Under the premise that the attacks of giant crossbows can draw blood time and time again, it is not impossible to achieve this.
But unfortunately, they did not have much time, and a new signal came from the outer plains. This was the signal sent by Drogo and the others.
The sending of this signal meant that Drogo and the others were moving closer.
And coming with them, there is a high probability that there will be a large army of lizardman cavalry!
The crossbow troops used the last moment to launch the third round of attack and began to pack up the three-bow bed crossbows as quickly as possible to prepare for transfer.
The arrival of the cavalry force indicates that they have basically lost the external output environment, and must quickly withdraw to the garrison camp to ensure their own safety.
In terms of time, there is no doubt that it is enough. The crossbow troops moved swiftly and drove away in the carriage before the large lizardman troops arrived.
Zhou Chongshan and the others escorted them along the way and had no intention of staying here to meet Zhuoge and the others.
The size of the large force of dragon cavalry on the opposite side has been confirmed to far exceed theirs, and they have no night vision. If they stay here, they will easily become a drag on Drogo and the others.
The timely withdrawal of the crossbow troops made the large force of dragon cavalry on the opposite side escape. Drogo and the others who had been chasing them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to maintain their position with the large force of dragon cavalry on the opposite side. At a distance that was not too far but not too close, he started to pull with the other party.
During this period, Chitose, who had been rushing forward for a while, also temporarily found a place to hibernate.
Its physical strength is also limited, and it is impossible to fight with the dragon cavalry throughout the whole process. This has also made Chitose change its tactics. Its current thinking is that if Drogo and the others make a mistake and are trapped, they will break out and break the situation. , other times the main purpose is to conserve physical strength.
This is of course not the result of Chitose's own thinking. How old is Chitose now? In addition, he has not experienced too many things, and his current mind is basically equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old human child.
Its current actions are all based on Zhou Xu’s instructions based on the various results deduced during the tactical deduction.
It even went up to it for a time and forgot this warning. It was not until it faced the crazy double-teaming of the Velociraptor Cavalry before and felt the pressure that it remembered it again.
After the large force of dragon cavalry headed by Gruul missed the target, Gruul's attention quickly fell back on the centaurs.
He had no intention of letting these centaurs get close to the moving armored dragons and their lizardfolk infantry.
Recalling the instructions Thoros gave him before the war, as well as the entire tactical arrangement of this operation, Gruul directly led his cavalry troops and chased the centaurs without saying a word.
The purpose is to keep the Centaurs away from this area and ensure that their infantry units can advance steadily.
Maintaining this advancing rhythm, as time passed, Dazhou's garrison camp finally appeared within their sight.
During this period, Zhou Xu asked Zhou Chongshan to take the cavalry troops out to shoot several rounds of fire arrows to open their horizons.
Measuring the distance with his vision throughout the whole process, spotting an opportunity, the power of the mantra burst out from Zhou Xu.
