Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 322 Under the Darkness

In the formal confrontation between forces, although Silk lacks practical experience to a certain extent, this does not mean that he is stupid.

At this time, Hilke quickly understood what Li Ce meant.

Then I realized that I might have fallen into a misunderstanding.

The subconscious idea is 'before the lizardman troop pushes out of the village, consume as much as you can, and when they get outside the village, they will compete with each other'.

This idea itself is not wrong. After all, the elf village is there, so it can bring them some defensive advantages.

But the problem here is, can the defensive advantage provided by it be greater than the offensive advantage of the large lizardman army?

The answer to this is no.

They don't know how to deal with that giant beast that is as big as a bus.

After all, how much help can ordinary villagers who have no equipment and have not received combat training provide them?
At present, the lizardmen's large army has not advanced beyond the elven villages. Facing the harassment and attack tactics of their cavalry, they can only be passively beaten to a large extent.

At the same time, except for the speed dragon cavalry, which has the advantage of mobility, other infantry units are basically useless in this kind of battle.

But once outside the village, the situation is different.

These infantry units of the lizardmen will become the backbone of the attack on the elven villages.

Regardless of what their cavalry does, the lizardman army just attacks the elven villages.

This alone is enough to turn them from active to passive!
Under the premise that this situation cannot be changed at all, rather than getting to that point, Li Ce feels that it is better to avoid this situation and take action in advance.

To be honest, this decision was a bit big, and it even made Silke hesitate for a while, thinking that he needed to consult Slavin, the patriarch, before he could give an answer.

But at the same time, he also knew that they no longer had that time.

Although their previous actions had successfully slowed down the lizardmen's advancement efficiency, in the final analysis, that was all.

When they run back to report to the clan leader, discuss it, and then make a decision, everything is basically gone.

As a general of the prairie elves, the patriarch Slavin has always given him decision-making power, but they have never encountered such a battle before, so this is the first time that Hilke has given him this decision-making power. This psychological pressure is really not small.

"Fight! Decide the outcome!"

After a brief hesitation, Silk's eyes quickly became firm. Obviously, he was still very courageous.

Although Drogo was not present, based on Li Ce's understanding of him, there was a high probability that the other party would agree.

After all, the centaur clan headed by Drogo basically eats theirs and uses theirs. They are said to be three-party forces. But in fact, even Silk has already seen that the centaur clan headed by Drogo basically eats and uses theirs. They were half-tied together with Li Ce and the others.

After reaching a consensus, it was still midnight. With only the moonlight in the middle of the night, the vision was terrible. Of course, Li Ce would not be in a hurry to take action at this time.

Their offensive must be based on the premise of "gaining a view at dawn".

But sometimes, it is inevitable to encounter situations where there is no choice, such as now...

The enemy velociraptors were getting closer and closer to them. Even if they were not lying on the ground, they could already hear the sound of the velociraptors running.

Holding their breath and concentrating, with a simple movement, the cavalrymen on both sides got on their horses and got ready for battle.

The strange crystal weapons in the hands of the lizard people glowed in the moonlight, making them very conspicuous in the dark night.Through this luster, combined with movement and stillness, the distance can be judged.

Seizing the right opportunity, Li Ce quickly issued an order.

"charge!!"

After giving the order, the cavalry led by Li Ce and Silke rushed out before the speed dragon cavalry from the opposite side could completely approach.

Cavalry requires distance to accelerate. If you wait until the opponent rushes in front of you before taking action, what power will the cavalry charge have?

Now they can be considered the first to strike first!

Basically, as soon as there was any movement here, with their excellent night vision, the lizard people in the distance immediately discovered their presence.

"Ugh-"

At that moment, the horn symbolizing the alarm sounded.

At the same time, the first reaction of the speed dragon cavalry on the opposite side was to dodge.

After all, in the previous battles, they had already discovered that in a frontal charge, they were no match for the cavalry on the opposite side. If they wanted to gain the upper hand, they had to take advantage of the speed dragon's flexibility.

Compared to the speed dragon cavalry who could move freely, Li Ce and the others struggled to see anything under the cover of night.

However, with the moonlight shining on the square crystal weapon, combined with the experience accumulated during this period of constant fighting with the lizard people, Li Ce could roughly guess the opponent's actions at this time.

And they responded as early as the beginning!

Don't the velociraptors on the opposite side just want to rely on the velociraptor's flexibility to avoid their frontal charge?

Indeed, in this dark night with poor visibility, as long as the opponent avoids their charge, there is a high probability that they will be unable to defeat the opponent.

In this way, in order to avoid this, Li Ce spread out their charge formation from the beginning to increase the strike surface of their charge attack.

Under this premise, you only need to make slight adjustments according to the opponent's movements, and you can basically ensure that the opponent's speed dragon cavalry is doomed!
Together with the elven cavalry headed by Silk, a group charged forward. Feeling the collision from all directions and the hot blood splashing on their faces, listening to the screams in their ears, the corresponding scene, It has already emerged in Li Ce's mind.

The success of this wave of operations was entirely due to their strength.

To put it simply, compared to the speed dragon cavalry in front of them, they have a greater military advantage.

Under this night, in order to find their whereabouts as soon as possible, the lizardman commander on the opposite side should divide the speed dragon cavalry in his hands into more teams to improve their search efficiency.

The result was that Li Ce and the others, who had always been at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, unexpectedly felt the benefits of their superiority in military strength.

But it's obviously not going to end like this.

In the silent night, the sound of the horn was particularly loud.

Sure enough, soon, in the distant night, the sound of horns began to sound one after another.

Let Li Ce and the others clearly realize that their whereabouts have been completely exposed.
