Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Chapter 434 Settling in the Plains

Counting the subsequent additional troops, the cavalry troops who followed Li Ce on this expedition included a hundred cavalry, not including elven knights and centaurs! Seriously, they used human cavalry to form a hundred cavalry team.

Now running wildly, it is full of power, and its lethality cannot be underestimated.

The defensive phalanx composed of green lizard infantry was basically defenseless against the Hundred Cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the blink of an eye, it was rushed to pieces, and the scene was chaotic.

The cavalry units that move back and forth on the battlefield can only be contained by the same cavalry units. The mobility of ordinary troops cannot keep up at all, and they will only be beaten if they go.

But in order to encircle and suppress the centaur clan, the speed dragon cavalry on their defense line also suffered a lot of casualties. Now the remaining speed dragon cavalry on hand are less than a hundred.

Under this premise, vast and flat plain terrain like this cannot maximize the flexibility advantage of the speed dragon cavalry. Instead, it exposes their shortcomings in endurance and speed when facing conventional cavalry. plate.

After all, the lizardmen themselves are not that good at fighting in plain areas. Complex environments like rainforests are their home field.

At the moment, there is a high probability that they will not be able to defend this side of the plain.

At this thought, Soros already had a desire to retreat in his heart.

But if he turns around and leaves with the Velociraptor Cavalry now, the infantry units that are not very mobile will most likely have to be stationed here.

This is not possible!

You know, once the battlefield moves to the rainforest area, these green lizard infantry, which seem vulnerable in the plain areas, will become their irreplaceable main force!

Even considering the battle after retreating, he had to save as many green lizard infantry as possible.

With this idea in mind, Soros began to command the Velociraptor Cavalry to contain the opposing cavalry team.

In this process, the Velociraptor Cavalry will inevitably suffer further losses, but there is nothing that can be done about it. For his next move, and for the sake of holding on to the rear, this has become a necessary sacrifice.

Although the speed of the green lizard infantry cannot be compared with that of four-legged war horses, among the known two-legged infantry units, they are definitely considered to be the most agile and agile.

Under the cover of the Velociraptor Cavalry, a large number of green lizard infantry dispersed and evacuated the battlefield as quickly as possible.

After the green lizard infantry retreated far away, the speed dragon cavalry who received the signal began to evacuate.

The cavalry troops led by Zhou Chongshan launched a pursuit to expand their victory, but they did not pursue too far.

At this stage, the cavalry force is their core combat force.

After the cavalry troops came out, they were followed by crossbow troops and logistics troops. These troops all needed protection.

After all, they are not familiar enough with this world. If they are obsessed with long-distance pursuit and thus neglect the protection of the rear troops, and when the rear troops are attacked and destroyed, then they will be equivalent to being sucked out of the bottom of the cauldron. Whether you can survive the day or not is a question.

The most important task at the moment is to occupy this territory and let their troops gain a foothold here. If they can't do this, there will be nothing to talk about later, so Li Ce saw that the situation was almost done, so he sounded the call to withdraw his troops. horn.

The military orders were overwhelming, and Zhou Chongshan and Silk, who had confirmed the signal to withdraw their troops, withdrew simply.

Soros, who had already hid in the rainforest area at that time, looked at the retreating cavalry from a distance. He did not feel any relief, but instead felt more pressure.

Under his command, the green lizard infantry turned around and launched an ambush after escaping into the rainforest area.

If the cavalry team on the opposite side just took advantage of the opportunity and broke into the rainforest area, he could directly rely on the advantage of the green lizard infantry in the complex environment to give the opponent a hard blow!

Even if the opponent is only close to the rainforest area, he can rely on the rainforest with his back and attack with spears to launch a counterattack against the opponent unscrupulously.

However, the other party did not.

A cautious enemy is more difficult than anything else.

But it is useless to continue to have this headache now.

Taking a deep breath, Thoros looked at the retreating figure of the enemy cavalry in the distance. Judging from this situation, the opponent's next step is to set up camp at the edge of the world. There should be no further moves in a short period of time. .

Thinking of this, Thoros quickly issued a few orders, explained and arranged the next tasks here, and asked his adjutant to stay here and watch. After that, he rode a velociraptor and prepared to rush to the temple. , to report the latest situation to the high priest.

In the temple, the high priest frowned deeply after listening to the report. Judging from the troop strength situation presented in Thoros' report, it can be said that it is very different from what Gruul reported before.

According to Gruul's report at the time, the other party did not have an armed force of this size!

However, this also explains in disguise why Soros has been repeatedly frustrated here.

Because the strength of the enemy in front of them has far exceeded their previous understanding.

Thinking of this, the high priest calmed down and accepted the current result calmly.

On the one hand, Thoros has made it very clear that the plains are not suitable for the lizardmen to fight, and his defense focus is on the periphery of the rainforest area.

Under this premise, in order to preserve the limited troops, we chose to retreat in time.

It was considered reasonable and well-founded and was approved by him.

As for the other reason, it was because he was indeed aware of Soros' ability. At the same time, he also knew that the troops here were limited and Soros could not use them at all, and he expressed his understanding of this.

In this way, the high priest has only one request for the situation here, and that is to stabilize!

Hold the rainforest defense line here firmly and don't let people from the opposite world easily advance up and threaten their territory.

At the same time, on the plain at the edge of the world, Li Ce, who had just arrived, was setting up their camp here as quickly as possible.

There is nothing interesting to see in this plain area. At a glance, everything is the same, and there is nothing to pick out. Therefore, Li Ce and the others found a relatively flat terrain and settled down.

"Tsk! What an eyesore!"

Looking up at the figure flying high in the sky, Drogo, who was patrolling outside the camp, cursed unhappily.

Needless to say, the one flying through the air just now was the pterosaur rider of the lizard man.

They had already known that the opponent had a flying unit, so they naturally recognized it immediately, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Because the other party was flying at high altitude the whole time, they did not lower their flying altitude at all.

Obviously, the previous death of the pterosaur rider had put the lizard people on alert.

The only thing the pterosaur riders have to do now is to serve as their aerial vision unit and watch every move on the opposite side.

As for other things...

Don't do it! Even if you encounter any tempting opportunities, ignore them all. Just fly in the sky and don't take any risks!
