Chapter 918 Follow-up
"Those who are injured, all retreat to the back to treat their wounds! The defense work inside the fortress is now all taken over by our lizard troops!"
The withdrawn lizards The human troops, while allowing the wounded soldiers to retreat, directly took over the defense work of the entire fortress.
During this process, Soros also found an opportunity to remind Bai Tu.
“Be prepared for a long-term battle. I don’t know what will happen in this wave. I’m afraid the rat people will not retreat easily.”
Having said this, Soros paused, and then made up his mind to speak...
"Use rotation tactics, not only for the troops, but also for you and me. From now on, I will be in charge of commanding at night and during the day. Leave it to you!”
Obviously, the commander also needs to rest, and it is very important.
If a commander is too tired and his brain reacts slowly, missing opportunities, or issuing a stupid order, it will affect an entire large army!
Baitu undoubtedly understood this situation.
At this time, he simply agreed and directly ordered the soldiers under his command to withdraw from the front line, and then treat the wounds when they needed to be treated, eat when they needed to eat, and rest early after eating.
When daytime comes, the safety of this southern fortress will be entirely on their shoulders.
This was the first time they had to go to eat and sleep in the middle of a battle. After all, the enemies they had encountered before could not launch an offensive like the Rat Men did day and night. , going on endlessly.
In this situation, if they were asked to go to bed, they would feel somewhat uneasy.
Originally they thought they would not be able to sleep, but this was not the case.
Each one of them touched the pillow and immediately fell asleep at the speed of light. They probably couldn't wake up even if they screamed.
They were too tired from this battle, especially for the new recruits, it was a physical and mental exhaustion.
In comparison, the Lizardmen troops have long been accustomed to the Ratmen's continuous attack mode.
Although this year's Rat Men are a bit more aggressive, they are still within their response range.
At the same time, the trapped cavalry and the dragon cavalry were still outside and failed to withdraw into the city in time.
But don't worry too much about them.
The mobility of the cavalry is there. When they leave the battlefield and want to avoid fighting, the ratmen basically have nothing to do with them.
As for food, they all brought close-fitting dry food. If they save some food, it will not be a big problem to last a week.
Staying away from the battlefield, after ensuring that there were no rat-men chasing behind them, the first thing the cavalry led by Zhou Chongshan did was to stand up and dismount.
It's not that they can't ride anymore, but that the horses can't bear it anymore.
At this moment, many of the mounts of soldiers trapped in the camp were already foaming at the mouth from exhaustion.
The camp they are trapped in is a heavily armored force. When selecting soldiers, they are all strong and strong. Each of them weighs at least 140 or 50 kilograms. In addition, they have armor and sabers. , bows, arrows, lances and other weapons.
With this set of tactics, ordinary war horses cannot bear to carry them into battle, so war horses are also selected from the best.
But even so, limited by the physical strength of their mounts, their sustained combat capabilities are still inferior to ordinary light armored cavalry.
The fighting style of being trapped in the camp in the past has always been to win with one blow, charge in one round, and directly end the battle!
Therefore, the physical problems of the war horse will not be exposed.
Now that we have encountered an enemy that cannot be eliminated with a single charge, this flaw will naturally be exposed.
The main purpose of dismounting now is to let the war horse take a breath.
Before, they first broke through the rat tide on the frontal battlefield, and then went straight to the outer battlefield, rescued the Velociraptor Cavalry, and charged for a while, followed by a quick evacuation. After such a wave, the physical exertion of the war horse is not small.
In a short period of time, it is estimated that it will be impossible to launch a new round of offensive. I am afraid that if I have the strength to rush in, I will not have the strength to rush out again.
As another cavalry team that has been training together before, Tash is undoubtedly aware of this shortcoming of the cavalry in the formation.
No words were needed at all. When he saw Zhou Chongshan and the others dismounting from their horses, he had already signaled his speed dragon cavalry to begin their vigilance mission.
After arranging things, Tash looked back at the direction of the southern fortress, looking a little worried.
Although he didn't know the name of that move, when he fought with the Talon Clan, that move caused them a lot of casualties.
This wave of their cavalry troops reacted quite quickly and evacuated quickly enough, so it did not have much impact on them, but he really didn't know what was going on with the main force on the main battlefield.
While Tash was thinking this, a pterosaur rider quickly fell down in the dark sky.
During the operations of their cavalry unit, two pterosaur riders were specially arranged to follow them in the air in order to deliver news on the battlefield to them in a timely manner.
In order to avoid being discovered by the rat men and thereby exposing the whereabouts of the cavalry troops, the pterosaur riders always fly at higher altitudes. If they land, they must have brought news.
Without any hesitation, the pterosaur rider who landed reported the situation on the main battlefield as quickly as possible.
"Reporting to Lieutenant Colonel, the main forces on the main battlefield have completely withdrawn into the fortress. The rats have followed up with the wave of rats and have now reached the outside of the fortress!"
Tash learned the news His face darkened.
"What have these stinky rats gotten crazy about this year? Are they going to fight to the death directly?"
"It's useless to think too much. We just have to adapt to circumstances and find ways to deal with them. ”
Feeling Tash’s irritability, Zhou Chongshan comforted him.
Zhou Chongshan's words were still effective, calming down Tash's mood a bit.
After taking a short rest, Zhou Chongshan quickly mounted his horse.
"Let's go back to the main battlefield to see the situation first. You continue to lead the dragon cavalry to sweep up. I will lead the trapped camp behind to hold down the formation. It just so happens that we can test whether the rat men still have any giants in their hands. Rat Knight."
At this stage, Zhou Chongshan wants to completely eliminate the giant rat knights instead of sweeping away the rat slave soldiers on the opposite side.
Once the rat men's giant rat knights are all killed or injured, the opponent will lose the means to restrain them.
At that time, as cavalry, they will naturally be able to do whatever they want on the battlefield again.
According to the mobility of the cavalry troops, they quickly returned to the vicinity of the main battlefield.
At this moment, outside the southern fortress, there was once again a black tide of rats.
Zhou Chongshan and Tash were not surprised by this scale.
If the Ratmen's troops could be defeated in that wave, then in the past they would not have fought from autumn to the beginning of the next spring.
According to the plan proposed by Zhou Chongshan just now, they fell into the camp and hid in the dark to hold down the formation. At the same time, they also allowed their horses to rest a little longer and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
As for Tash, he led the Velociraptor Cavalry directly into the battlefield from the flank as before, and then launched their close sweep.
This harvesting efficiency, needless to say, also made the rat commander who confirmed the news even more irritable. It was definitely messing with his mentality!
