Chapter 451 Rat Tide (additional update after accumulating 600 monthly votes)
The lizard people have an enemy. As their mortal enemy, Jicumu must be happy, but this does not mean that he is learning that After this news, they will continue to attack regardless.
The fundamental purpose of all these actions is to put the interests of the rat people as the first priority.
Considering from this point of view, he doesn't mind if the lizard people send troops over and use more troops to deal with the opponent, thereby reducing the pressure on their side.
At this moment, surrounding this battle, our own forces undoubtedly have their own plans.
During this period, being stuck in the middle, as the party being attacked by both forces, the Lizardmen's situation was undoubtedly the worst.
No matter what choice they make, they will have to bear huge risks, but they have to make a choice quickly. After all, according to the current situation, they have no capital to waste!
"Leader! Leader! The soldiers we sent out for reconnaissance discovered that a part of the Lizardman troops were secretly evacuating the front line!"
The confidant Ratman who told the news had a hint of emotion in his voice at this moment. Unable to conceal excitement.
On the other hand, Jicumu, after a moment of excitement flashed in his eyes, his entire state quickly returned to its original calmness.
"Don't worry, let them leave for a few more days."
The rat people are not brainless idiots, they have always been a cunning tribe.
Under Jicumu's order, an entire group of rats hibernated for another five days
Five days later, late at night, the rat tide broke out completely, and the black slave ratmen were covered in black. As night fell, they quickly rushed to the lizard people's frontline camp.
After discovering the enemy's attack on the lizardman camp, alarms sounded. A large number of lizardman infantry poured out from the camp to attack, waving their weapons and mercilessly massacred the countless slave ratmen in front of them. .
From the current point of view, those slave rat people are no match for the lizard people, and they are being killed one by one.
However, there was no trace of joy on the faces of these lizard men.
Having been at war with the Ratmen for many years, they knew that this was just the beginning.
The people they killed before them belonged to the lowest slave class among the rat people, commonly known as slave rat people.
The number of slave ratmen like this basically accounts for about 70% of the entire ratmen group.
Those ordinary ratmen and the ratmen in power don't care about the lives of these slaves. Whenever a war breaks out, they will let these slave ratmen form a rat tide and launch a suicidal attack.
The fundamental reason is that the rat people are a particularly fertile race, but it is precisely because they are so fertile that they cannot afford food for an entire tribe under normal circumstances.
In order to reduce the food pressure of an entire group, they will immediately launch a war whenever the population becomes too large, while allowing the slave ratmen to suppress their mortal enemies, the lizardmen, through a suicidal rat tide. , incidentally, by letting the slave ratmen die, which relieved their internal food pressure.
From the perspective of the rat people, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
But on the other hand, from the perspective of the lizard people, this suicidal style of play is undoubtedly terrifying.
Although these slave ratmen were in a very weak state because they had not been able to eat food for a long time, resulting in poor combat effectiveness, they could not handle the fact that there were so many of them that they seemed to be unable to kill them all.
Every time we fight against the Ratmen, all we have to fight to the end is willpower.
And now, this battle of willpower has just begun.
Standing in the rear of his own position, looking at the surging rat tide in the distance, Jicumu looked very calm on the surface, but he was excited inside.
The two clans have been fighting for too many years. After so many years, both sides have won and lost each other, but neither one has been able to completely defeat the other and drive the other out. And this time, I am afraid that this is the rat-men's most likely chance to completely defeat the lizard-men in the past hundred years!
When he thought of such an opportunity falling into his hands, Jicumu's breathing became a little faster unconsciously.
Once he accomplishes this, his status among the rat people will surely rise, and he can also take the position of clan leader!
When he thought of this, Jicumu almost laughed wildly.
Of course, he also knows that it is not the time to be happy yet. Their rat tide tactics are typical attrition tactics, and wars of attrition are the most time-consuming.
In the past, Jicumu would never worry about the battle taking too long, but now he is starting to worry.
After all, the longer the time, the greater the variables.
Thinking of this, Jicumu could not help but order his subordinates to blow the horn to signal the rat tide to speed up their attack.
Amidst the sound of the horn, the tide of rats surged even more violently, and waves of rats continued to surge towards the lizardman camp.
These slave rat people who have gathered into the rat tide are so active, not for the sake of the clan.
The Skaven have never been a group with a spirit of dedication, especially when the group has already told them to die.
The reason why slave rat people can show such enthusiasm is essentially for food.
When they knock down a lizard man, they will directly start to eat the opponent's flesh and blood. In just a blink of an eye, they can eat only the bones of a lizard man!
This is nothing to the slave rat people.
You know, when they are hungry and anxious, as long as the people around them reveal their flaws, they will not hesitate to eat them up! This is the Rat Man!
The intensification of the rat tide's offensive made the lizardmen's position on the opposite side appear to be in a state of being almost unsustainable.
Jikum was even more excited when he saw this scene, and at the same time, he urged the offensive even harder.
However, after two or three passes, looking at the lizardmen defense line that was still struggling to hold on, Jicum gradually realized something was wrong.
At this moment, a burst of horn sound suddenly came from the flank battlefield, which made Jicumu's heart twitch hard.
He turned around quickly and saw that at this moment, a large group of speed dragon cavalry came out from the flank of the battlefield, aiming directly at the ratman position where he was.
Jikumu's expression suddenly changed when he saw this scene.
“Those damn stinky lizards!!!”
At this point, Jicumu has undoubtedly reacted. Those lizard people have not really left the front line at all. , the other party's movement of quietly leaving the front line was deliberately staged for them to see!
Among the rat people, the rat tide can not only be used for offense, but also for defense.
But now, because of Jicumu's repeated urging, the rat tide in his hands has advanced in full force, and they have all pressed outside the lizardman's position.
What does this mean?
This means that his position has lost the protection of the rat tide!
