Chapter 1067 Appearance
Sitting in the meeting tent, Zhou Xu also had a headache at this moment.
If Li Ce, Shi Lei, Bai Tu, and Soros were here, they could discuss tactics with themselves, analyze the enemy, and weigh the next options.
But sitting next to him now are Jie Liancheng, Zhou Chongshan and Bo Levin.
To put it bluntly, these three are mainly engaged in fighting. It’s easy to discuss tactics with them!
At this time, he could only have a headache.
[According to the previous report from the scouts, there are at least four to five hundred troops visible on the opposite side. Among them, almost three hundred giant wolf mounts of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry were also found, which means that there are at least three hundred more. A goblin wolf rider. 】
【Following this line of thinking, conservatively estimating that the greenskins on the opposite side still have a thousand troops, just a lot more. 】
【However, we now have two thousand lizardmen troops here. In terms of military strength, we are not afraid of the other side. 】
【The only uncertain factor now is what is happening to the green-skinned strongman on the opposite side, and how many strong men there are on the opposite side. 】
Zhou Xu fell into deep thought around this issue.
From a personal perspective, he who wants to regain lost ground as soon as possible is undoubtedly more inclined to launch an offensive in a short time.
In this way, you can also bet that the green-skinned strongman on the opposite side has not recovered. If the bet is right, the situation will be reversed in an instant.
But on the other hand, if the bet is wrong, a tough battle will definitely be inevitable.
Of course, Zhou Xu has another option, which is to wait for another month, until Locke has completely recovered, and Zhou Chongshan and Xie Liancheng have fully recovered from their injuries before launching troops.
By that time, they will undoubtedly be fully prepared, but the opponent must also be fully prepared.
And in the process, they were equivalent to completely handing over the dominance to the opponent.
Are you seeking stability, or are you a gambler and taking risks?
Revolving around these two choices, Zhou Xu thought carefully and struggled for a long time, and finally made a decision with a slap on the thigh.
“Move troops!”
At this moment, winter is about to begin. At this juncture, the country has fallen, and it is not a good thing for their large army to be stalemate here for a long time.
Not to mention anything else, after winter, the climate here is much colder than that in the south, and it can easily drop to minus ten degrees.
Even if the Lizardmen troops can hold on here with their thickened winter coats, their combat effectiveness will definitely be significantly affected, which will be detrimental to them.
In this way, considering the composition of their own combat power, it is best for them to end the battle and regain the lost ground before the temperature drops in winter!
After Zhou Xu made his decision, the following three naturally had no objections. These three mainly focused on obeying orders.
Without Moji, early the next morning, Zhou Xu ordered people to move the rocks blocking the exit of the canyon. Then, after another day of rest, the large army advanced directly towards the oil village.
From the canyon area to the oil village, you will pass through a forest.
In order to facilitate transportation, and also to obtain local building materials for some infrastructure construction in the Northeast, they directly asked the logging team to cut down trees and clear a road that ran through the entire forest. So that the subsequent teams can directly cross the forest area to improve the efficiency of the journey.
As for the current situation, this road is obviously not smooth for Zhou Xu.
More than halfway through the journey, there were already bursts of rustling sounds in the dense forests on both sides. It was the sound of something moving quickly through the trees with light steps.
His eyes swept quickly, and the figures of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry quickly broke into Zhou Xu's field of vision.
"The whole army is on alert!!"
Obviously, the greenskin troops on the opposite side did not intend to fight a proper defensive battle.
In other words, the greenskins themselves are not good at defensive warfare. In comparison, the geographical environment of this forest is relatively complex, which is more conducive to the performance of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry.
The greenskins, who were aware of this, directly set up the battlefield here after receiving the news that the Great Zhou troops were launching operations.
Almost at the same time that the Goblin Wolf Cavalry appeared from the dense forests on both sides, a burly green-skinned soldier also appeared on the road they must pass.
“WAAAAGH!!!”
With no intention of giving up the dominance to the humans on the opposite side, with the war cry, the greenskin troops in the front charged directly towards them. .
Facing the menacing green-skinned troops, Zhou Xu solemnly ordered...
"Spear Formation!"
At this moment, the Lizardmen soldiers have replaced the Imperial Guards and the trapped camp who suffered heavy casualties, becoming the absolute main force on the front line.
Now that they received the order, the blue lizard spearmen also moved quickly, quickly setting up the crystal iron spears in their hands, and at the same time let out a loud war cry!
“For the Emperor!”
“For the Emperor!!!”
At this moment, the lizard soldiers were full of fighting spirit.
Amidst the battle cries, the troops from both sides quickly fought together.
At the same time, using the cover of the dense forest, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry walking on both sides of the battlefield were also waiting for the opportunity, trying to launch a surprise attack on their Great Zhou battle formation from the flanks and rear.
However, just as there was movement here, a burst of faster footsteps soon sounded from the dense forest.
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, during the march, the Velociraptor Cavalry, who had been deliberately lagging behind to hide its whereabouts, suddenly appeared!
Seeing this strange cavalry unit running around in a dense forest environment, the Wolf Cavalry commander's face instantly darkened.
Needless to say, their operation has been seen through by the opponent.
When this battle has reached this point, there is no room for maneuver. Now it is time to fight for strength!
With this thought flashing through his mind, the wolf cavalry commander quickly made up his mind, rode a giant wolf mount, held two swords, and led his Goblin Wolf Cavalry troops to charge forward, intending to fight with the opponent. Better!
When they met, the leader of the wolf cavalry flashed his two swords and cut into two pieces a velociraptor rider who was charging toward him.
On the blood-stained blade, that special brilliance was particularly dazzling in the dimly lit dense forest.
“Damn it, it’s a Hundred Refining Realm warrior!”
There are Hundred Refining Realm warriors or Extraordinary Realm mages in the green-skinned troops!
Zhou Xu had announced this news long before departure, so that the soldiers could be mentally prepared.
But when this Hundred Refining Realm warrior actually appeared, it still inevitably caused a commotion.
Feeling the panic on the other side and smelling the strong smell of blood after killing the enemy, the wolf cavalry commander took a deep breath and couldn't help but feel a bit intoxicated on his face.
Then he opened his mouth, revealing two rows of fangs, and the smile quickly turned cruel!
