Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Chapter 469: Taking advantage of the slope to get off the donkey

When he saw the armored dragon coming out from the opposite side, Li Ce quickly ordered the crossbow troops to set up an attack formation and launch an attack without saying a word.

After the earlier report was sent, Zhou Xu realized that the demand for giant crossbows on the front line was far greater than he initially expected, so Zhou Xu significantly increased the ration of giant crossbows at the back.

At this stage, the number of giant crossbow arrows in Li Ce's hand is completely enough for him to squander, which makes him use them unscrupulously.

While the crossbow troops launched an offensive towards the armored dragon, they received orders from Li Ce. The soldiers who had just finished setting up the camp on the front foot were busy breaking out of the camp and running away.

In the course of many battles, Li Ce had a precise grasp of the speed of the opposite armored dragon.

He had carefully estimated the location of this camp. According to the speed of the armored dragon, it was more than enough for them to break camp and run away before the opponent arrived.

In this way, the soldiers don't need to be too anxious, just take the time and carry out the operations in an orderly manner.

If we evacuate too quickly and the other party sees that the camp is gone and orders the armored dragon to go back, isn't that in vain?

Although Li Ce didn't plan to launch an offensive towards the rain forest at this moment, it would be good to seize the opportunity and destroy the outer carapace of the armored dragon on the opposite side.

Following Li Ce's tactical thinking, the soldiers and crossbow troops silently cooperated. After the armored dragon entered a dangerous distance, the soldiers responsible for cleaning up the camp carried out the final finishing work and put away the armored dragon as quickly as possible. He threw the tent onto the carriage, and then drove the carriage away quickly. According to the speed of the armored dragon, it was impossible to catch up.

But to say that they were beaten in vain was not a big deal. After all, Da Zhou was indeed tortured by them.

Thoros, who confirmed the latest situation, issued the retreat order without any surprise. At the same time, he could not fail to see that the opponent was wearing out the armored dragon's carapace in this way.

But at the same time, from Soros's perspective, the actions of the armored dragon also made the opponent uneasy, making it impossible for the opponent to adjust its state and carry out subsequent actions.

In this wave, they are essentially consuming each other.

As for, 'Will the opponent not really intend to attack from the beginning, but just pretending to trick him? ’ Soros is obviously not aware of this possibility at this stage.

During this mutual tug-of-war, the lizardmen had not sent out cavalry troops for a long time, which gave Li Ce reason to suspect that the other side really lacked cavalry strength.

Even if there are some cavalry units on hand, the number is probably very limited and cannot form an effective scale at all.

Otherwise, according to the current situation, there is no reason for the opponent not to send high-mobility cavalry units to contain them.

Coming to this conclusion undoubtedly gave Li Ce more confidence.

As the night grew darker, after another round of mutual consumption, the armored dragons on the opposite side temporarily retreated, and Li Ce, as always, stationed his troops at a safe distance that allowed them to attack, retreat, and defend.

Of course, he knew that this night would never be too peaceful.

Don't forget, the lizard man has night vision. Li Ce doesn't believe that the other party will do nothing after nightfall.

In order to deal with this, he specially borrowed troops from the Centaur clan headed by Diack. This time, one of the two cavalry teams responsible for escorting the infantry troops into action was composed of centaurs.

Centaurs also have night vision, so after dark, they are responsible for patrolling and guarding.

During this period, the pterosaur rider flying in the air undoubtedly had a panoramic view of Li Ce's deployment, and reported the situation to Soros in a timely manner.

Soros, who confirmed the news, did feel a little bit difficult.

Because according to his original plan, he actually planned to send chameleon lurkers to sneak up under the cover of night to carry out a sneak attack.

But I'm afraid that's not possible now.

The Chameleon Lurker's invisibility ability can only be exerted when it is stationary. It cannot be invisible while moving.

Under this premise, the chameleon lurker itself has low movement efficiency and is still fragile. Once discovered by the centaur on the opposite side, it will basically be a dead end and there will be no place to escape.

As for continuing to send armored dragons to harass the opponent...

That's okay, but with the size of an armored dragon and its exaggerated weight, every step it takes makes a lot of movement. It has the same effect day and night, and it has no sneak attack effect at all.

In response to this problem, Soros had a new idea after thinking about it for a while.

I saw that he directly divided the four-headed Ankylosaurus into two teams, each team had two heads, one team was responsible for the day, and the other team was responsible for the night. The purpose was to make the other side have no peace 24 hours a day.

I have to say that from the perspective of harassment, his actions were indeed cruel.

But this restless night gave Li Ce a chance.

Early the next morning, facing the endless harassment of the armored dragon, he simply commanded the troops, pretending to be in a bad state and unable to attack, and took advantage of the situation to make the troops retreat appropriately.

In Soros's view, this move meant that the opponent wanted to retreat and regroup.

Since he has made a strategy of harassing people day and night, he must carry it out to the end and will not easily give the opponent a chance to regroup.

The two teams of armored dragons alternated day and night, and a war of attrition began.

Li Ce was naturally happy that the other party was so cooperative, but it was undeniable that based on the intensity of the other party's harassment, as the party being harassed, they were really tired.

Maintaining a state of mutual pulling and constant harassment, time comes again when the energy channel opens.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Ce quickly sent a messenger back to report the situation.

In Black Moon Village, after listening to the latest report from the front line, Zhou Xu's face turned slightly solemn.

[Li Ce’s response is no problem, the focus now is on the rat people...]

[Judging from the performance of the lizard men, they should not have ceased war with the rat men. However, after the rat men suffered a defeat, they chose to defend passively. If they do not take action, our front line may be in danger. 】

As his thoughts whirled, Zhou Xu's index finger tapped the armrest of the chair regularly.

【What should I do now? 】

After some thinking, Zhou Xu made a decision.

"Pass the order to increase the number of conscripts. In addition, the next supply of materials must also be adjusted, reducing the food ration and increasing the ration of scale armor, weapons, giant crossbows and other weapons and equipment!"

Having said this, Zhou Xu paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, the words he said caused the courtiers below to completely explode!

"In addition, the next time the energy channel is opened, I will personally lead the troops to go out!"
