Chapter 929: Counterattack
In the midst of the chaos, the Dragon Cavalry led by Tash, while rushing in, took advantage of the situation and launched a sweep of the area around the trapped camp.
Taking this opportunity, the soldiers trapped in the camp got on their horses one after another.
After a period of rest, the condition of the war horse has also recovered a little. There is no need for any nonsense. Looking at the iron cavalry who has already mounted the war horse, Tash shouted...
"Follow closely!"
While shouting, they sat down on the Velociraptor mount and used their legs to charge forward with explosive speed.
As an unconventional cavalry, the biggest feature of the Dragon Cavalry, in addition to being flexible and fast, is its explosive power!
With its powerful legs, Velociraptor can directly accelerate on the spot, allowing his speed to quickly approach the maximum. In such a crowded battlefield where there is a lack of acceleration space, the advantage is very great!
Under this premise, although they are not that good at frontal charges, the relatively short and fragile ratmen basically cannot stop them.
“Charge towards the Skaven’s regular army positions!”
"You don't need to remind me!"
It was getting dark at this moment, and Zhou Chongshan obviously wanted to rush through the Rat Man's regular military formation before it got dark.
Even if they can't be completely wiped out, they can at least rush in and suppress the strength of the regular army on the opposite side.
At the same time, on the wall of the southern fortress, with the blessing of the 'Eye of Insight', Thoros clearly saw the movements of their two groups of cavalry, and quickly guessed their movements. Thoughts, and then a decisive order...
"The lizard men formed a spear formation and followed me out of the city to attack!"
Just like before, he directly handed over the defense task to the human troops headed by Bai Tu, and asked the lizardmen troops to form a spear formation and rush out of the city, preparing to attack with attack to curb the speed of the rat tide, thereby giving Zhou Chongshan and the others created an opportunity to attack the Ratmen's regular army positions!
“For the Emperor!!!”
With the battle cry, the lizardmen spearmen advanced in formation.
A morning's rest during the day allowed them to recover a lot. The spears in their hands stabbed down the rat slave soldiers in pieces. Wherever the battle formation passed, Corpses littered the fields and rivers of blood flowed.
In this situation, once the lizardmen's spearmen and cavalry are in place, they can easily form a two-sided attack on the ratmen's regular army.
Being in a battle formation, the Ratmen commander naturally knows this, but in the current situation, their only chance of winning is to rush into the southern fortress and use the internal environment to curb the performance of the opposing cavalry and at the same time expand the influence of their rat tide. Advantages.
If we retreat at this time, it will be basically impossible to rush into the southern fortress.
【Cannot return! 】
With this thought in mind, the fighting between the two sides became more intense on the battlefield.
At the same time, the battle in the city gate area was not much less intense. The rat slave soldiers were almost crazy, charging into the interior of their fortress desperately. .
Now that the gate no longer has any defensive effect, the city defense troops blocking the city gate don't even have time to breathe.
After all, they can't light a fire now. What if the lizardmen troops outside want to withdraw?
Didn’t this fire cut off the lizardmen’s retreat?
At the critical moment, in the position, a soldier quickly sprinkled a handful of seeds.
At the same time, the wood elf mages behind the spear formation also completed the spell casting at the right time!
【Savage growth! 】
【Energy absorption! 】In an instant, two mantra spells were cast at the same time.
Under the catalysis of the power of the mantra, thick twining vines quickly grew out of the rat tide, and in the process of growing, they continued to wrap around everyone around them. A rat slave soldier draws energy from them and turns it into his own nutrients!
After working together to cast spells, this set of combined spells quickly demonstrated its super field control ability!
While filling up the entire city gate passage, it also made all the rat slave soldiers involved lose the ability to move.
During this period, Bai Tu, who was on top of the wall, could clearly see that outside the fortress, countless rat slave soldiers were attacking the entrance of the fortress that was blocked by entangled vines.
At this point in time, the entangled vines, blessed by the power of the mantras of the wood elf mages and absorbing energy from a large number of rat slave soldiers, are becoming more active.
Looking at the rat slave soldiers, their limited strength originally depends on their numbers to show their power.
The result was that he was not dead, and he directly ran into the wood elf mage who had the ability to fight against the group. The entangled vines spread among them, and they directly harvested as many as they came.
At first, these rat men could still struggle, tear, and even bite, but as the energy absorption took effect, the energy in their bodies was quickly drained, their entire state continued to weaken, and they soon completely lost their ability to resist.
During this process, a large number of entangled vines followed the surging rat tide and spread towards the battlefield outside the fortress. They began to capture the rat men piled near the gate, absorb their energy, and convert it into Use your own nutrients to grow faster.
This further relieved the pressure on the garrison.
However, this situation obviously cannot continue forever.
Without the help of Locke, an extraordinary mage, the remaining wood elf mages have limited power. To this point, it is almost their limit.
They are now acting as a gate in this offensive and defensive battle.
Block the entrance when necessary to contain the constant offensive of the rat tide and give the garrison troops time to breathe and adjust.
And by the way, a wave of cleanup was carried out on the Ratmen in the covered area.
As soon as the spells of the internal wood elf mages stopped, the entire growth momentum of the entangled vines immediately stopped.
However, these entangled vines are still strong. No matter how much the rat slave soldiers blocked outside bite and eat, they can't break through the blockade of layers of entangled vines and rush into the fortress in a short time. So easy.
However, although these rat slave soldiers were crazy, they were not stupid. As soon as they saw that the city gate area was blocked by the vines, they immediately changed their attack target and began to attack along the wall towards the wall of the southern fortress.
It can be said that Bai Tu had anticipated this situation.
When the wood elf mages began to cast spells, he had already begun to deploy troops towards the wall to increase the defense strength.
Of course, he could also prevent the Rat Man from climbing on the wall during this period by pouring hot oil, but he didn't do that.
Their current goal is to assist the cavalry troops outside the fortress in attacking the rat men's regular army positions.
At this point in time, if he completely cuts off the attack path of the rat men here, there is no guarantee that these rat men will turn back and attack their lizard man troops fighting outside the fortress. This situation is obviously not what they want to see.
For this reason, he deliberately left a place where the rat men could launch an offensive.
And he can also use this to concentrate his strength and effectively suppress the rat soldiers!
