Chapter 495 The abacus was hit in the face
Since Zhou Xu came to the front line, the front line troops have been in high spirits, not only because of his status as the 'king', but also because of his ability to almost The power of one man as an army!
Since the last battle on the plains, it was just like Zhou Xu asked Li Ce to set up a frontline camp again and stare at the rainforest area where the lizard men were.
On the Lizardmen side, Thoros also sent out Lizardman sentries, keeping an eye on the plain area 24 hours a day, watching out for Da Zhou's every move.
Skeleton troops plus sword and shield troops, this wave of battles was so big that Zhou Xu had no intention of hiding it from the beginning.
"Commander, outside the rainforest, the enemy troops are advancing, and rushing in front is a large group of skeletons, and, and..."
"And what? Tell me clearly!"
< br>Listening to the report of the lizardman sentry under his command, Thoros felt indescribably irritable.
Soros has already known about the fact that there are skeleton soldiers on the opposite side to assist in the battle.
After all, in the previous battle on the plains, it was the sudden appearance of those skeletons that cut off the Velociraptor Cavalry's retreat, hindering their actions, and directly caused the Velociraptor Cavalry to suffer a ruthless charge from the opposite cavalry unit, causing heavy losses.
It is no exaggeration to say that those skeleton soldiers constitute the most critical force.
At this time, those skeleton soldiers appeared here, so he was naturally not surprised.
Faced with Thoros' scolding, the lizardman sentry quickly confessed...
"The skeletons rushing over from the other side look like they are of the same race as us."
More than just a likeness? Absolutely!
The lizardmen are not even able to recognize the skeletons of their own kind.
Hearing this, Soros's face suddenly turned ugly. He probably guessed what happened.
At the same time, under the control of Zhou Xu, the skeleton troops quickly moved closer to the plain position outside the rain forest.
When their Zhou infantry launched an offensive against the opposite rain forest defense line, the opposite commander specially arranged a group of green lizard infantry on the periphery to throw short spears and attack them.
Of course, they were immediately countered by a rain of arrows from their cavalry troops, and they paid the price of casualties.
This time, the opponent must have learned a lesson and did not show up during the whole process. It seemed that they wanted to wait until they entered the rainforest before taking action.
Anyway, the ones leading the way were skeleton soldiers who were not afraid of sacrifice at all. Zhou Xu was fearless.
The faster green lizard skeleton quickly disappeared into the rain forest.
In view of this situation, the Green Lizard Infantry who were hiding in the dark did not take action immediately. According to Soros's idea, the target of the Green Lizard Infantry's current ambush was Placed on the Da Zhou sword and shield soldiers at the back.
Although these skeleton soldiers were one of the key factors that led to their tragic defeat in the previous battle on the plains, in Soros' view, these skeleton soldiers themselves were not very effective in combat.
The existence of the skeleton soldiers, to put it bluntly, serves as a containment. It was the cavalry troops on the opposite side that really gave them the fatal blow to the dragon cavalry.
With this as a premise, after the environment changed from the plains to the rain forest where they were, the human sword and shield soldiers who followed undoubtedly played this role.
Starting from this point, only by solving the sword and shield soldiers on the opposite side can the battle be fundamentally resolved. Otherwise, attacking those skeleton soldiers will be just a waste of effort. Different from the plain battlefield, Soros was much bolder in the rain forest as his home field. He came directly to the vicinity and observed every move on the opposite side.
[The human soldiers followed too closely, almost tied together with the skeleton soldiers, and they had to find a way to separate them. 】
As his thoughts whirled, Soros summoned a subordinate, then whispered to the other person to arrange the matter.
During this period, they once again switched from cavalry to infantry. Zhou Chongshan, who led their sword and shield soldiers of Great Zhou to launch this operation, remained alert enough throughout the entire process.
Obviously, having experienced the previous battle, he knew very well how difficult the lizard man on the opposite side was in this rainforest environment.
With a dense rustling sound, a large number of short spears suddenly flew out from the rainforest behind and even on both sides, and were thrown towards them.
The green lizard infantry, which had been dormant for a long time, finally seized the opportunity at this moment by throwing spears!
"All members in defensive formation!"
Zhou Zhongshan reacted quickly and shouted for his sword and shield soldiers to respond.
Although they were defeated when they entered the rainforest area before, they also gained experience.
Nowadays, they have a better understanding of how the lizard people fight in the rainforest environment, and they have also mastered a certain degree of coping techniques. They are no longer as chaotic as they were at the beginning.
Little did they know that while they were concentrating on dealing with the green lizard infantry, there was another movement coming from the other side.
Zhou Chongshan quickly glanced over there from the corner of his eye. At this glance, dozens of speed dragon cavalry rushing out of the rain forest suddenly broke into his field of vision.
With the mission assigned to them by Thoros, the dozens of speed dragon cavalry forcibly divided the battlefield as quickly as possible, directly dividing their Great Zhou sword and shield troop and the skeleton troop in front. For two.
The opponent's abacus has already hit him in the face. Even Zhou Chongshan, whose tactical acumen is not very developed, has already realized what the opponent wants to do.
How can this allow the opponent to succeed?
With this thought in mind, Zhou Chongshan immediately planned to order a group of personal soldiers to follow him to break down the blockade formed by the speed dragon cavalry on the opposite side.
Little did he know that he hadn't even had time to take action yet.
From where the Velociraptor Cavalry came out, another group of Blue Lizard Sword and Shield Soldiers rushed out, carrying their shields to meet Zhou Chongshan and the others who were about to take action!
Needless to say, Soros has clearly arranged for them all this time.
While sending the dragon cavalry to deal with the skeleton troops, the group of blue lizard sword and shield soldiers following behind were specially designed to intercept them.
After suffering a major defeat, in order to gather as many troops as possible, he really brought all the blue lizard guards from the temple over!
Of course, the title 'Temple Guard' sounds very powerful, but in reality it is not.
As temple guards, their main duty is to guard the temple. In other words, many of them have never been on the battlefield and lack actual combat experience.
As for those who have been on the battlefield, their skills have deteriorated due to being away from the battlefield for a long time. They are far incomparable to the time when they were fighting against the ratmen on the front line.
So Soros doesn’t have high expectations for them. Their only task now is to hold back the human infantry on the opposite side and buy the Velociraptors time to disintegrate the opposing skeleton troops!
