Chapter 914 Close Sweep
Suddenly they were burned by blazing flames. The hair on the bodies of the rat slave soldiers who rushed in was instantly ignited, and they let out shrill screams.
"The spearmen formed an array and pushed forward!"
After receiving the order, the spear formation that had been ready to go quickly pushed forward and pressed the spearheads away from the fierce flames.
In order to make the fire burn stronger and longer, Bai Tu not only piled wood and poured kerosene on it, he also laid a layer of coal underneath.
If that group of rat slave soldiers could fight their way in through this sea of fire, they would have to shed their skin even if they didn't die.
Many rat slave soldiers were even burned to death inside.
After all, they were not the only ones who fought all day long.
The physical fitness of normal rat soldiers is not as good as that of ordinary human soldiers, and the physical fitness of rat slave soldiers is even worse.
At this moment, the physical strength of many rat slave soldiers has also reached its limit.
At this moment, the blazing sea of fire continued to burn the incoming rat men, and also illuminated the entire city gate passage, ensuring their vision to the greatest extent at night.
The spearmen in formation were quickly in position. As long as a rat man came out of it, they would immediately launch a thrust and give the opponent a fatal blow!
During this period, in order to ensure that the fire does not go out, Bai Tu will naturally not forget to add more firewood and fuel.
However, the wood stockpiled in this southern fortress is relatively limited. Considering the subsequent battle, This skill is definitely indispensable. When it is time to save, you still have to save a little.
In this way, after a round of burning with fierce fire, at the back, Bai Tu mainly focused on maintaining the fire and providing his own vision.
The spearmen, on the other hand, pushed forward further to increase their suppression of the rat men.
At this point, many rat men were stabbed to death by the spearmen in the sea of fire without even breaking out of the sea of fire.
The burning flames, combined with the sharp spears, and the dual attacks cooperate with each other, which not only reduces the pressure on the defensive troops, but also significantly improves their killing efficiency.
The situation at the city gate was quickly reported to Soros.
As early as in the previous actions, he could actually see that Bai Tu was a general with brains and command ability.
But on the battlefield, experience is important, and more importantly, you must have a big heart! In other words, it is a strong enough ability to withstand pressure.
If you can’t withstand the pressure and your mind goes blank when you get to the battlefield, it’s useless no matter how smart you are!
For now, Soros is quite satisfied with Bai Tu's performance.
After all, this is the first time to face the rat-men. After a long confrontation with the rat-men, it is already very good to be able to hold on to this point.
“Send a signal.”
Upon receiving the order, a specific horn sound immediately sounded from the top of the wall.
At the same time, outside the fortress, Tash heard the sound of the horn and suddenly knew something.
In the situation at that time, after Tash led the dragon cavalry to break out of the fortress, he directly rushed through the rat tide and then walked away.
In the current situation, compared to returning to the city, they stay outside the city, their actions are more flexible, and they can play a greater role.
The only troublesome part is that there is no way to effectively exchange intelligence with the large troops inside the fortress.
For this reason, they have also determined some signals long ago to convey some simple messages at this time.
The meaning of this signal at this time is to ask them to implement follow-up tactics according to the situation.
At the same time, he also told him in disguise that there was no problem with the fortress for the time being and that it could withstand it.
As for follow-up tactics, there are generally two options. Although Tash doesn't like to use his brain very much, he is also familiar with the common tactics used in fighting ratmen.
The first is to find the location of the Ratmen's rear position, and then directly lead the cavalry troops to attack the Ratmen's rear position.
The second is to rely on the mobility and flexibility of the Velociraptor Cavalry to continue to reduce the strength of the Rat Tide on the periphery of the battlefield.
Two choices, the former is riskier and the latter is safer.
After all, the Skaven are not stupid, and you will not be able to find their rear positions so easily.
Generally, they will look for a sheltered place to avoid the aerial view of the pterosaur rider.
And they will also set up fake positions to confuse you, and even hide underground.
During this process, if they realize that their position is exposed, they will not hesitate to choose to move immediately.
Therefore, the assault on the rear position is full of uncertainty.
If you choose the former, but you never find the enemy's rear position, it will happen that the troops in the fortress are fighting to the death, but you are sweating outside and 'walking back and forth' Awkward situation.
Regarding this choice, Tash chose the latter after weighing it for a while.
At present, the fortress can hold up anyway. Under this situation, it is practical to seize the opportunity to reduce the rat men's strength.
After confirming the idea, the Velociraptor Cavalry troops, which had basically finished their rest, took action again.
Different from the previous charge that directly penetrated the rat tide and divided the battlefield, the speed dragon cavalry at this time changed direction after intervening in the battlefield and started sweeping directly against the outermost edge of the rat tide.
While riding the Velociraptor and passing quickly, the weapon in his hand was harvesting the surrounding rat slave soldiers like wheat.
For this method, they call it concise and clear internal sweep.
Although the Velociraptor Cavalry is a cavalry, it is mainly based on flexibility.
This flexibility allows them to quickly shuttle in complex environments, and is more adaptable to complex terrains. They can easily control actions that ordinary cavalry cannot do and places that they cannot go.
But in contrast, when it comes to frontal charge capabilities, they are estimated to be ranked lower in the middle. Maintaining flexible mobility and carrying out continuous close sweeps is their comfort. district.
The reason why this wave dared to go straight to the rat tide and complete the cutting was thanks to the blessing of their majesty.
If they hadn't been given more gifts this year, allowing them to be further strengthened, they would not have dared to rush forward in the current situation.
At this moment, the speed dragon cavalry's close sweeps not only effectively reduced the strength of the rat tide on the opposite side, but also drew away the hatred of many rat slave soldiers.
The scale of the Rat Tide meant that the Ratmen commanders were unable to direct them, not to mention that the Rat Tide was composed of low-level slaves who had not received any training at all.
As long as you can withstand the suppression of the rat tide, as long as you have the ability and dare to take risks, there is room for maneuver.
Just like Tash and the others now, while completing a wave of close sweeps, they also took away a wave of rat slave soldiers.
Being on the edge of the rat tide, their operations at this time are like the tip of a knife dancing. If they are not careful, they will end up dead without a whole body!
This is not to scare people, those hungry rat slave soldiers will chew you up to the bone and dregs!
