Chapter 546: Many Ants Eat Elephants
After receiving the order, the rat army immediately launched a pursuit.
However, the positions of both sides were separated by a day's journey, and the Lizardmen's army was under the control of Bolevin, who had the upper hand throughout the whole process, while the Ratmen were slow to realize it. By the time Claws received the news, the Lizardmen's army had already withdrawn a considerable distance, so it was not easy to catch up in a short time.
Upon hearing the news, Li Claw was annoyed by the situation, but he could do nothing but continue to pursue.
Up to this point, it can be said that everything is under Bo Levin's control.
After all, they have been sworn enemies for so many years, and he knows the nature of the rat people very well.
Therefore, halfway through the journey, he arranged the dragoons to intercept and kill the ratmen's vanguard as usual.
Would Li Claw not know about his move? Of course Li Claw knew, but would he not pursue?
Under this premise, he could not confirm when the Raptors would take action.
To round it off, this is a complete conspiracy, the kind of thing they are not afraid of you knowing about.
Seizing the opportunity, the velociraptors suddenly charged out. Even though the rat slave soldiers who formed the vanguard were well prepared, it did not reduce the pressure on them much.
During this period, the Raptors did not want to fight either. After a round of charging and interrupting the advance of the Skaven vanguard, they immediately left, with no intention of engaging in a fight with the enemy.
After all, they knew very well that the rat army was powerful, and if they stopped, they would most likely be trapped and die, with basically no chance of survival.
The two sides fought all the way, and the large army of Lizardmen led by Bo Levin withdrew to their own defense line safely.
At this point, Bolevin obviously no longer cared whether he would be exposed or not.
Because judging from the current situation, it was only a matter of time before he was exposed.
What is more important than hiding this matter now is to buy time to meet up with the reinforcements! During this time, Lizhao, who realized that he had been tricked, cursed all the way, but no matter how dirty he cursed, it was useless because Bo Lewen couldn't hear it anyway, or he wouldn't react even if he heard it.
By going back and forth, Bolevin successfully delayed the time for ten days.
Leading the rat army, they advanced all the way to the border camp of the Lizardmen. Logically, after such a pursuit, their army would have to rest for a day or two before advancing to launch an offensive.
But the opponent's previous performance made Li Claw have a suspicion in his heart, that is, the opponent seemed to be delaying time.
From this point of view, assuming that the other party is really delaying time, then if he stops here to rest, wouldn't that be fulfilling the lizard man's wish?
When he thought of this, Li Claw suddenly felt unhappy.
"Pass the order down and let the slave troops attack directly!"
Claws didn't care about the life or death of the rat slave soldiers at all. After the order was given, the rat slave soldiers immediately gathered into a rat tide and swept towards the Lizardman border defense line.
After confirming the news, Bolevin's face darkened slightly. If possible, he certainly hoped that the ratmen could take some time to rest. In this way, he could at least gain another one or two days.
But he knew that the opponent was not stupid. After all his moves, the opponent had probably guessed that he was just stalling for time.
This time, after days of traveling, they did not even take a break and directly launched an offensive, which fully proved this point.
In this regard, Bolevin was not too panicked.
He knew the methods of the ratmen too well. The offensive of the ratmen tide would often take up more than 70% of a war.
Compared to the rat slave soldiers who launched a rat tide attack immediately after arriving here without even having time to rest, they at least arrived at the camp earlier than the rats.
This means that they will have more time to rest than the ratmen.
Although it cannot be said that the troops have fully recovered from the fatigue of continuous travel and fighting, their condition is definitely much better than that of the rat slave soldiers.
Faced with the rat tide, Bolevin had no intention of defending the camp to the death. He directly ordered the raptors to take the initiative to attack and kill them.
Under the fatigue of continuous march, the ratmen slave soldiers appeared more vulnerable than before.
The dragoons launched continuous charges, forcibly blocking their advance and causing them heavy casualties.
But they knew in their hearts that this battle would not end, and it could even be said that it had just begun.
He was certain that Bolevin was delaying time for some ulterior motive and had no intention of stopping.
He didn't care about the lives of the slave soldiers at all. Even if he sacrificed all the lives of these slave soldiers in this battle, what would it matter? With such a mentality, the attack of the rat tide could be said to be extremely "heavy".
The fighting later on became a torture to the spirit of every Lizardman soldier.
While avoiding direct combat with the rat tide as much as possible, the Swift Dragon Cavalry basically maintained the rhythm of entering the battlefield, launching a round of charge, and then maintaining the momentum of the charge, directly leaving the battlefield and launching operations there.
This approach did reduce the efficiency of the rat tide's advance to a certain extent, but it was impossible to completely stop the rat tide's advance.
After paying a certain price in casualties, the huge wave of rats soon rushed beyond the Lizardmen's border defense line.
Standing on the observation tower of the camp, Bo Levin confirmed the location of the rat tide from a distance and gave the order...
"Send out the Shield-Armored Dragons, and have the infantry troops follow behind them and advance!"
The simple camping environment left them with poor defensive conditions. Once the rat tide came over, their camp would turn into a battlefield in minutes.
Instead of setting up a camp, it is better to attack proactively with the camp behind.
Accompanied by heavy footsteps, one armored dragon after another appeared on the battlefield.
But their appearance did not pose any threat to the rat slave soldiers.
Although these rat slave soldiers are weak, they are crazy!
If they move forward, they still have a chance of survival. If they retreat, the other slave soldiers behind them will bite them to death first, and their bodies will become food for other slave soldiers! Facing the surging rat tide, the advancing armored dragons became a little anxious and showed signs of disobeying orders.
The reason for this situation was soon revealed. The surging tide of rats was like a tide, directly submerging the armored dragons.
A large number of rat slave soldiers climbed onto the body of the armored dragon frantically, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the entire body of the armored dragon.
At this moment, this scene is simply shocking. If Zhou Xu were here, four words would definitely come to his mind: Many ants eat elephants! (End of this chapter)
