Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Due to the direct transfer of appropriate troops from the cavalry unit and conversion to infantry, the number of infantrymen actually exceeded the cavalry that had been the main force before, reaching one hundred and twenty people.

Originally, the number of people was actually a few more, but Li Ce rounded up the number for the convenience of statistics.

After all, the cost of training a cavalry is much higher than that of training an infantry. Converting cavalry into infantry is not a cost-effective deal in the first place.

After gathering all the manpower, Li Ce was not ambiguous at all. He directly led the infantry troops and advanced toward the rainforest area with great vigour.

As for Zhou Xu, he did not show his face during the whole process. After all, he had no plans to expose his existence to the lizard people on the opposite side for the time being.

Until the lizardmen's large forces take action, Li Ce will continue to serve as the frontline commander on the surface.

Maintaining a safe distance from the rainforest area, the frontline troops led by Li Ce began to set up camp as always.

But this time, the armored dragon on the opposite side did not appear again.

It is impossible for the lizard people not to notice such a big move. Under this premise, the other party has not adopted harassment tactics. Then we can only draw one conclusion, that is, the other party is already ready to fight in the rainforest area!

Just like Zhou Xu and Li Ce also hope to set up the battlefield in the plains where they have a greater advantage, as their enemy, the lizard people prefer to compete with them in the complex rainforest environment.

"attack!"

After giving an order, the infantry troops, led by Zhou Chongshan, spread out their formation and advanced towards the rainforest area.

After the distance was shortened to a certain point, a group of green lizard infantry emerged from the edge of the rain forest. Then without saying a word, they threw their short spears at the advancing infantry troops!

The lizard man's response was within their expectations. When Zhou Zhongshan, the leader, saw this, he immediately shouted...

"Raise your shield!!"

In an instant, the soldiers maintaining the advancing formation raised their one-handed bucklers one after another to parry the spear attacks from the green lizard infantry.

At the same time, under the command of Li Ce from the rear, their own cavalry troops quickly came up to support.

"Prepare!"

"Fire the arrow!!"

As soon as the order was given, a hail of arrows immediately passed over the advancing infantry troops and swept towards the green lizard infantry on the opposite side who was throwing short spears.

At this time, in order to cover the advance of the infantry troops, the cavalry troops were basically used as archers by Li Ce.

There was an advancing infantry unit covering the front. From the perspective of the green lizard infantry, it was exactly like a hail of arrows suddenly flew out from behind the opposite infantry unit and fell from the sky!

Many green lizard infantry reacted quickly and turned around to hide in the rainforest behind them, but some were just a little too slow.

The dense rain of arrows drew a large parabola and poured down with inertia. The fragile green lizard infantry was unable to resist at this moment. Those who had no time to escape were shot into hedgehogs on the spot.

The success of the arrow rain was a good start for this round of attack by the Zhou troops. The soldiers were in high spirits and let out war cries, and their morale gradually began to rise!

Needless to say, the soldiers did not know their plans and did not need to know.

In this operation, only a few generals knew the plan. If ordinary soldiers knew too much, they would only have unnecessary thoughts and affect their performance.

Zhou Xu, who was hiding in the distance and observing the situation from a distance with the enhancement of his 'Eye of Insight', was very satisfied with the performance of the soldiers.

If they could, of course they wouldn't mind just maintaining their morale, defeating the lizardmen's defensive forces in one wave, and sealing the victory for themselves.

But can this thing really go so smoothly?

Watching the infantry unit headed by Zhou Chongshan step into the rainforest area, Zhou Xu withdrew his gaze.

At the same time, Zhou Chongshan, who had been a cavalryman for so long and now switched from cavalry to infantry, was holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. The whole state was not unfamiliar at all.

As they entered the rain forest, they could see the green lizard infantry on the opposite side, relying on their nimble and quick skills to quickly escape deep into the rain forest.

Thinking about it, if they were to attack outside the rain forest, Zhou Chongshan and the others would see that the situation was not good, turn around and rush out in a few steps to escape.

The opponent is undoubtedly trying to prevent this situation. Judging by that, the lizardmen's reinforcements have indeed arrived, and they are probably going to give them a good fight.

As his thoughts whirled, Zhou Chongshan tensed up.

The previous combat training of mountain soldiers was undoubtedly effective. Otherwise, normal infantrymen would not be able to walk easily in such a complex environment.

At least I'm not that unaccustomed now, but I can't compare with the green lizard infantry on the opposite side.

The green lizard infantry, who were thin and could only be used as cannon fodder on the plain battlefield, became like a duck to water after entering the rainforest environment. Their advantages of flexibility and quick action were fully utilized.

In such a blink of an eye, they all disappeared.

You know, in this rain forest, there are towering trees and huge plants everywhere. It is too easy for the thin green lizard infantry to hide in this environment.

This made the Zhou infantry led by Zhou Chongshan unconsciously feel the pressure and threat.

"Everyone, stay vigilant! As a team, be careful to cover each other!"

Long before the operation officially started, they had already gone through the deduction of the battle situation. According to Zhou Xuna's modern active thinking, combined with the environmental intelligence provided by Diack and the others, he could think of many situations in advance and formulate corresponding measures. coping strategies.

This has also significantly improved Zhou Chongshan's ability to lead troops and respond. As long as there are no special circumstances beyond their previous expectations, Zhou Chongshan only needs to apply the strategies that Zhou Xu and the others have formulated in advance according to different situations.

At this moment, the green lizard infantry who had disappeared from the surrounding huge vegetation quickly jumped out and launched a surprise attack towards the infantry unit.

"Enemy attack!!"

In an instant, the sound of 'enemy attack' resounded throughout the area where they were.

At the same time, the tactics of the lizardmen on the opposite side became clear at this moment. They were guerrilla tactics based on the complex environment of the rainforest!

Relying on his super personal strength, after killing a green lizard infantryman who tried to attack him with a backhand knife, Zhou Chongshan immediately planned to start supporting his soldiers and lead a counterattack.

As a result, at this moment, the bushes on one side suddenly broke open, and with the spar sword swung, a familiar figure once again broke into his field of vision!

This person is none other than Gruul, the leader of the lizardmen from the opposite side!
