Chapter 911 Rat Tide Attacks
The rapid sound of horns echoed over the fortress. Winter has not yet officially entered the season, but the large rat troops that have arrived at the front line are already eager to launch an attack on their southern fortress. The first round of offensive!
On the top of the wall, Bai Tu looked at the battlefield outside with wide eyes and gasped on the spot.
Even though he was mentally prepared in advance, he was still completely stunned by the horrific scene before him.
Until he saw this scene with his own eyes, he could not have imagined that the enemy's troops could be so numerous that they could completely crowd the entire battlefield!
Seeing the densely packed rat-men outside the wall, rolling towards their fortress like a black tide, at this moment, Bai Tu felt his scalp numb.
Compared with the battle in front of them, the small group of rat men they defeated before was just like children playing house! It’s not something of the same magnitude at all!
Bai Tu, who tried hard to adjust his emotions, subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Soros and the others beside him.
At this moment, Soros and the others looked calm. Obviously, they were used to such battles.
Their calmness made Bai Tu relax a little, and at the same time, he recalled what Diack had said to him before.
With the lizardman troops taking care of him, nothing can go wrong!
Thinking of this, Bai Tu suddenly felt calm.
At the same time, Soros's voice came over.
"As discussed before, we are responsible for the wall, and you are responsible for the city gate area."
After all, they are two armies, and they have never cooperated at all before. There is a lack of tacit understanding between them, and if they are forced to come together, they will inevitably hold each other back.
In this case, the best way is to divide the work!
Let their two units each be responsible for the defense of an area, sharing each other's pressure while not hindering each other.
With this as a premise, Soros naturally took on himself the more stressful work of wall defense.
Unlike human troops who need to use siege equipment such as ladders and siege towers, the Ratmen have special hooks on their hands and feet, which allows them to crawl quickly on the wall. ability.
To prevent this trick, the best way at present is to pour oil on the wall.
But the shortcomings of this move are also obvious, it consumes too much fuel.
And it can only be managed for a while. As time goes by, when the lubricating effect of the oil fades, the rat man will still crawl.
In this day and age, oil is not cheap, and the quantity is also limited. If you keep pouring it, it will definitely be too much.
Therefore, when the lizard people are in good condition, they will basically choose to let the rat men come up and attack them on the wall. When they are in poor condition and need to adjust and recover, they will use oil pouring to contain the rat men's offensive. , to gain time for oneself to rest and recuperate.
"Archers prepare!"
As the rat tide continued to advance, Bai Tu, who was standing on the top of the wall, seized the opportunity and quickly gave the order!
“Fire arrows!!”
In an instant, a black rain of arrows swept out! Falling into the rat tide, there was a splash of blood!
But this was obviously not enough to curb the progress of the rat tide. Instead, it made the hungry rat slave soldiers quickly become excited.
The rat men who were shot and injured directly became their food, and were devoured almost instantly!
For Bai Tu, who had witnessed such a battle for the first time, this scene was simply shocking and made him shudder.
"Fire arrows! Keep firing arrows!!"
Invisibly, the accumulated psychological pressure made him unconsciously urge the archers below to speed up the frequency of firing arrows.
At the same time, the rat tide pushed forward crazily against the rain of arrows, and soon came under the high wall.
“Get ready!”
"Smash it to me!!"
The heavy and huge wood was pushed down from the wall. The moment it hit the ground, a piece of blood burst out and smashed a large number of rat men into pulp. This bloody scene fell to Bai Bai. Tu's eyes were filled with inexplicable relief at this moment.
It even once contained the progress of the rat tide outside the wall.
However, the rat slave soldiers outside the wall seemed to have no idea what death was, and continued to advance while eating the flesh and blood of their clansmen. Muzhu's suppression cannot continue forever.
The high frequency of throwing quickly consumed all the wood on the wall.
This allowed the rat slave soldiers under the wall to finally seize the opportunity, spread their arms and legs, and climb up the vertical wall at an astonishing speed.
It was completely different from the feeling when he obtained information from Soros before. Bai Tu, who had witnessed this scene with his own eyes, had almost no trace of blood on his face at this moment.
“What the hell. What kind of monster is this?!”
For the defender, the city wall is the biggest support, but this group of monsters that can fly over walls and climb over walls make them stand on top of the wall. Bai Tu had no sense of security at all, and the pressure in his heart doubled.
Think back to what Soros said when he analyzed the enemy and laid out tactics with him.
It sounds so simple, but it’s so awesome to do! !
“It’s almost time for you to go down, the wall area will soon turn into a battlefield.”
Soros, who said this, still looked calm. After all, he was just like the newcomer. , It was different from Bai Tu, who faced the rat-men for the first time. Thoros had seen such battles every year and had long been used to it.
While he was speaking, a rat man had already climbed up the wall.
However, the next second he was chopped into pieces by the blue lizard sword and shield soldiers guarding the wall. The body fell off the city wall and became food for the rat slave soldiers under the wall.
The drastic change in the situation in front of him made Bai Tu's face look uncertain for a while, but his steps did not stop. He left the battlefield at the top of the wall almost as quickly as possible and rushed to the city gate area.
At this time, the archers in the rear continued to shoot arrows at the rat tide outside the city, while the spearmen used the small windows arranged on the city gate. He thrust out his spear and attacked the rat man outside the door who was trying to destroy their city gate.
Based on the characteristics of the rat tide, this design is indeed very easy to use.
But when Soros was explaining the design of this area, he also specifically reminded him that he could not hide behind the gate all the time.
Even though the group of rat slave soldiers outside were unarmed, their destructive power was astonishing.
As long as you give them enough time, they can dig through for you, let alone a city wall made of bricks and stones, even a gate covered with iron sheets!
The rat tide's offensive has always been ongoing. Once it starts, it will not give you a chance to breathe.
In this case, if the gate is damaged, they have no chance to repair it.
The existence of this door is not for you to stick to it from the beginning.
Instead, it is used to contain the rat tide's offensive and buy you recovery time when your condition declines and you no longer have the strength to fight the rat tide in a short period of time.
Obviously it’s not that time yet!
"Open the door! Prepare to attack!!"
Bai Tu, who shouted these words, had done enough ideological work for himself.
Having seen the scale of the rat tide on the wall, he knew what was waiting for him outside the fortress gate.
Issuing this order at this moment undoubtedly requires great courage.
As soon as the fortress gate opened, the scene at that moment was like a river bursting its banks, and the terrifying tide of rats poured directly into the passage inside the gate! It seems to fill the entire passage space.
The simply horrifying scene made the faces of the soldiers in the passage turn pale instantly.
At the critical moment of life and death, probably to embolden his courage, one of the soldiers suddenly shouted...
"For the Emperor!"
With this roar, countless soldiers seemed to have found a backbone and started roaring along!
“For the Emperor!!”
“For the Emperor!!!”
