Throne of Vientiane Civilization

In order to guard against the lizardmen's night attacks, Zhou Xu had already arranged for a large number of bonfires to be set up near the camp.

Now all the bonfires deployed in advance have been lit, ensuring that they can all have a certain degree of vision near the camp.

At this time, Zhou Xuren was standing behind the defense line of the garrison camp, relying on the blessing of the 'Eye of Insight' to scan the distance, looking for traces of the enemy.

However, the lizardmen's night attack came slower than he expected.

Zhou Xu didn't think it was Drogo and Diak who were holding the opponent back.

Although the night was too dark at the time, and he did not have night vision, he could not clearly see the size of the enemy. But just by listening to the movement of the cavalry unit running, he knew that there were more than one or two cavalry units on the opposite side. One hundred, I guess it's not as high as three or four hundred, maybe even more.

Faced with such a cavalry team, Chitose, Drogo and Diack may be able to slow down the opponent's advancement to a certain extent through harassment and attacks, but to directly curb the opponent's advancement...

That's basically impossible.

On this basis, the opponent has not shown up yet, which can only mean one problem, that is, the commander on the opposite side changed the original tactical arrangement after seeing their actions.

Combining the information from the other side and the situation at hand, and following his thoughts for a while, Zhou Xu had a rough idea of ​​what the other side wanted to do.

"The opponent is most likely planning to let those giant beasts take the lead and directly destroy our garrison camp."

This can be said to be a common tactic of the lizard people, and it is not difficult to guess.

The garrison camp is their most important camp on the front line at this stage. Once the garrison camp is wiped out, they will directly lose their core position.

As a defender, the impact of losing the core position is not insignificant.

While Zhou Xu was pondering this, a centaur soldier from afar rushed back quickly and reported the latest situation to him.

"Your Majesty, the giant beasts on the opposite side are forming a phalanx and advancing towards our garrison camp!"

The confirmation of this news undoubtedly verified Zhou Xu's guess.

"What about the speed dragon cavalry on the opposite side? What's the situation now?"

"The speed dragon cavalry on the opposite side does not have a strong intention to advance. It seems more like they are encircling and suppressing Chitose-sama and our troops."

After hearing this, Zhou Xu basically knew what the other side wanted to do.

"Let them focus on containment, don't get entangled by the speed dragon cavalry on the opposite side, and wait for my signal."

"yes!"

After listening to the instructions, the centaur soldier left quickly.

The commander on the opposite side chose the tactic of using an armored dragon to take the lead in clearing the camp. To a certain extent, it was a good thing.

After all, the armored dragon's slow advancement speed gave them more sufficient deployment time in disguise.

"Inform the logistics troops to bring the supplies in the camp and the logistics personnel to transfer them first."

For the sake of caution, the retreat route that should be left must be reserved in advance, so that the camp will not be attacked by the armored dragon and all the supplies will suffer.

"Also, let all soldiers change into enchanted weapons!"

During this period of time, Wang Dong, who was in the garrison camp, was very tired. For this battle that could break out at any time, he had to keep a batch of enchanted weapons in the best condition throughout.

In other words, he had to enchant those enchanted weapons almost constantly, just for this moment!

The enchanted weapons and equipment are enough to increase the combat effectiveness of Dazhou soldiers to another level.

In the last battle on the plains, they were able to turn defeat into victory in the face of a large lizardman force that was significantly stronger than their own. In addition to the timely support of the centaur clan, the combat power bonus provided by enchanted weapons was also crucial.

After all the arrangements were made, time passed quietly, and the sound of heavy footsteps came from the distance. The sound was too familiar to them, it was the sound of the armored dragon walking.

The armored dragon was probably still a long way away from them, but because the other party's footsteps were so heavy, they could clearly hear it even from such a distance.

Zhou Xu gave an order and the crossbow troops took the initiative to attack.

In the previous period, the armored dragons on the opposite side had been attacking their camp day and night. Therefore, as their important combat power against the armored dragons on their side, the crossbow troops basically Shang has also adapted to fighting at night.

By the way, it is worth mentioning here that after the last supply, the number of three-bow crossbows in the crossbow unit has officially increased to eight. While the size of the unit has become larger, their combat effectiveness has also increased. The number of crossbows increased with the increase of three-bow crossbows.

After receiving the order from Zhou Xu, the crossbow troops were ready to go and the action quickly started.

It is different from when dealing with ordinary troops. After all, the armored dragon is a big guy. Even in the dark night with poor visibility, it is not that difficult to lock the opponent.

Unlike the first time when the entire army was divided into two and the attack formations were deployed on both wings to launch the offensive, this time, the eight three-bow crossbows of the crossbow unit were all concentrated on one side.

In the daily high-intensity training, every operation step of the three-bow bed crossbow has been deeply rooted in their bones and has become their instinctive reaction.

This makes the poor visibility not much of a problem for them.

Soon, with a signal, eight giant crossbow arrows burst out almost simultaneously.

Then a scream sounded from the night!

Although they could not clearly see the impact of the eight giant crossbow arrows, it was not difficult to judge from the screams that their attack must have broken through the armored dragon's defense layer and caused the opponent to see blood. Otherwise, the armored dragon would have been killed. The reaction will not be so violent.

It seems that this period of rest did not allow the armored dragon's carapace to fully recover, which gave the crossbowmen more confidence.

During this period, in the center of the armored dragon phalanx, the armored dragon that was attacked on one side screamed, and at the same time, its steps suddenly became chaotic, scaring the lizard infantry who were moving inside. , for fear of being stepped on by the armored dragon.

If you step on it, you will be crushed into a puddle of flesh. Who can not be afraid of this?

On this side, a lizardman commander who realized that the action was taking place on the opposite side quickly ran out under the cover of night to confirm the location of the Great Zhou Crossbow Troops.

The crossbow troops had no intention of covering up their whereabouts, or they couldn't. The plains had such a wide field of vision, and the lizard men had night vision, so they had no choice but to hide if they wanted to launch an attack.

So they didn't bother to hide and lit torches directly.

That battle seems to be telling you, come here if you have the guts!

It was impossible for the armored dragons to catch up with them at their speed, but for this operation, fifty velociraptor cavalry were specially selected to accompany them.

At this time, these fifty dragon cavalry will undoubtedly come in handy!
