Chapter 547: Not Taking the Bait
The Shield-Armored Dragons, which were surrounded by a large number of Skaven Slaves, became obviously panicked. After they swung their tails violently and forced back the Skaven Slaves who were still besieging them, they all collapsed on their four legs, with their bellies touching the ground, and fell to the ground with a "thump".
This time, a large amount of blood spurted out from their abdomens.
Of course, this plasma was not from the armored dragons themselves, but from the rat slaves that had climbed onto their stomachs. They were crushed into pulp in this action! However, the death of a large number of their own kind did not make the rat slaves retreat. They continued to advance almost frantically.
In the eyes of these starving rat slave soldiers, these armored dragons were simply mountains of flesh. While climbing, they opened their mouths and started to bite them, without caring how hard the armored dragon's shells were.
Even a drop of water can wear away a stone. The teeth of these starving rat slave soldiers should not be underestimated.
The lizardmen, their mortal enemies, are very clear about this.
The lizardmen infantrymen following behind did not dare to let them act recklessly, and quickly picked up their weapons and rushed forward.
While the Shield Dragons were enduring the attacks of the rat slave soldiers, they were also sharing the pressure of the rat tide with the Lizardman infantry in disguise, creating a better combat environment for them.
Once the two armies collided, a melee quickly ensued.
After the melee broke out here, the Swift Dragon Cavalry who had temporarily left the battlefield and were resting on the periphery saw the opportunity and took action again.
However, this time, their target of attack was not the rat tide that had already engaged in a melee with their infantry units, but the regular army positions behind the rat army!
Previously, Jikum had fallen into Bolevin's trap and launched a rash attack, which resulted in the rear defense being empty. The regular army's positions were subjected to ruthless attacks by the dragoons, and they were eventually defeated and paid a heavy price.
After this experience, how could Claw and Jikum fall into the same trap twice? Not to mention that the velociraptors had already appeared to reduce the strength of their rat tide and contain their advance. Claw and Jikum knew that the other side was hiding outside the battlefield, so how could they not be on guard against it? Now, when they saw the velociraptors appear, after the other side advanced to a certain distance, Claw gave an order and directly sent a wave of rats to intercept and kill them.
The dragoons wanted to rely on their flexible and disguised abilities to bypass the rat tide and directly attack the regular rat army positions.
However, the rat tide was so large in scale that it spread out directly and continuously intercepted them. Even with the flexibility of the dragoons, it was not easy to bypass them easily.
For a cavalry charge, first of all, a sufficient distance is needed to build up speed. Only when the speed reaches the fastest and the momentum of the charge reaches the strongest, and the target is attacked in one breath, can the greatest lethality be demonstrated.
This requires precise control of the distance. If the distance is too close, the momentum of the charge has not been fully built up, and the power naturally cannot reach its limit. If the distance is too far, after the strongest burst period, the state will begin to decline, and it will also be impossible to demonstrate the greatest power.
Like the Raptors, their plans were undoubtedly disrupted.
The moment they chose to bypass the rat tide, their charge's momentum began to wane.
Claw, who was in his own position, stood on a high place, watching the actions of the velociraptors, and secretly laughed at the stupidity of these lizardmen.
If the other party had just rushed into the rat tide, they might have killed some slave soldiers. But now, if they did this, they might lose themselves.
Thinking of this, Claw's first thought was to send out another wave of rats to outflank them.
Now with enough slave troops at hand, Sharp Claw performed with ease.
At this moment, the order was already on the tip of his tongue, but in the next second, Li Claw seemed to realize something and suddenly felt something was wrong, and he forcibly choked the entire paragraph in his throat.
[Wait! There's a problem! ]
They are sworn enemies. They have been fighting for so many years and are too familiar with each other. How could the other side make such a low-level mistake?
The situation itself is so strange.
Claw, who had doubts in his heart, immediately cancelled the order to mobilize the rat tide to cooperate with the encirclement. Even if he missed the opportunity to encircle and kill the dragoons, he didn't care. This situation was too strange and he absolutely did not want to take this risk.
Having given up the idea, Sharp Claw glanced at the still-circling Swift Dragoon, then quickly scanned the surroundings, as if guarding against the next possible enemy.
During this process, the Raptors' charge had lost all its power due to constant detours, and they simply turned around and ran away.
Don't forget that the physical strength of velociraptors is always average. There is no benefit for them to deal with the enemy for a long time. The best strategy is to get rid of the enemy first.
Since there was no head-on collision between the two sides and the velociraptors kept moving on the periphery throughout the entire process, it was unrealistic for the rat slave soldiers to keep them. In the end, they could only watch the velociraptors leave.
The failure of an operation meant that their entire work was in vain and they returned empty-handed.
But now that the battle has begun, how could the velociraptors be willing to stop? The rat slave soldiers lacked the ability to pursue them.
After successfully retreating to the periphery for a short rest, they launched another charge towards the ratman's regular army positions.
This time, it was obviously not a surprise attack.
Claws already knew that they would definitely take action again.
After all, the war has already begun. As an important cavalry force, how could they just sit on the periphery and do nothing?
Facing the attack of the velociraptors again, the Claw used the same old trick and once again sent out a wave of rats to meet the attack.
After experiencing what happened before, the Raptors also figured it out. This time they didn't take any more detours and charged straight ahead.
The rat slave soldiers had fragile bodies, and could not withstand the frontal charge of the cavalry. Many of them were crushed to death on the spot. Then they directly caught up with the tide of rats and charged back and forth.
On the outskirts of the battlefield, the cavalry team led by Zhou Chongshan secretly observed the entire battle situation.
Looking at the back and forth charge of the Speed Dragon Cavalry, and then looking at the unresponsive position of the regular ratmen army, Zhou Chongshan frowned.
"It seems that the ratmen are sure that we have a backup plan. The lizardmen are weak right now. If we continue to wait and see, we may fall into a disadvantage before the king's reinforcements arrive. If the lizardmen suffer too many casualties, it will be difficult for us to fight them."
As he spoke, Zhou Chongshan pulled the reins.
"Brothers, charge with me!!"
