Chapter 590 Rat Troll Attack
"Everyone stay alert!"
Although he didn't know what the wooden barrel that was thrown at him was, he knew it was definitely not a good thing, so Li Ce hurriedly issued a reminder.
With a whistling sound, the wooden barrel hit their wall and broke into pieces with a clang.
At that moment, several rat slave soldiers fell out of the wooden barrel.
Many rat slave soldiers had their heads smashed and were bleeding, and some even fell to their death. Before the battle even started, they had already paid the price in casualties due to this rough landing method.
But obviously, Claw and the others don't care about this issue at all.
At the same time, the rat slave soldiers knew that their only way to survive was to fight! Ignoring the pain in their bodies, they rushed towards the lizardman soldiers closest to them almost frantically when the barrel broke.
At the same time, more barrels were thrown onto the wall by the Rat Trolls with brute force! Without exception, these barrels were all filled with Skaven Slaves.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"
Considering the possibility that the ratmen would climb up the wall, they deployed spearmen and sword and shield soldiers on the wall for defense in advance.
However, faced with the rat slave soldiers that descended from the sky, the rhythm of the lizardmen soldiers on the wall area was disrupted for a time, causing the entire area to fall into chaos.
In the chaos, Li Ce gave orders repeatedly and directed the battle on the wall. At the same time, he drew the sword from his waist and chopped down two rat slave soldiers who tried to sneak attack him.
Although he is now inclined to command from the rear, his bravery potential has reached three stars. If a real fight breaks out, these ordinary soldiers will be no match for him.
With Li Ce's intervention and the brave fighting of the Blue Lizard Sword and Shield Soldiers, the situation on the wall was quickly stabilized.
But what cannot be changed is that the rat trolls outside the wall are still continuously throwing rat slave soldiers towards the wall on their side. As long as they cannot cut off the source, they can only passively accept the attack.
His eyes fell on the rat trolls in the distance. There were quite a lot of them, at least forty or fifty.
In other words, in every round, at least forty or fifty wooden barrels filled with rat slaves would hit their walls, making it impossible for their walls not to be in chaos.
[Damn it, how should I deal with this? ]
Faced with such an enemy, the first thing Li Ce thought of was the three-bow crossbow, but he quickly ruled it out.
Not to mention the problem that if the three-bow crossbow is installed on the city wall, it is impossible to aim downwards, let’s just talk about the size of the rat troll.
Compared with ordinary individual units, he is indeed quite huge, but as a target for the three-bow crossbow, he is a bit small.
No matter how skilled a crossbowman is, it is difficult to guarantee a hit, not to mention that the opponent is moving and at a fairly fast speed.
"Soros, how did you deal with the rat trolls in the past?"
In fact, in the past wars between Lizardmen and Ratmen, few of them had fought to this extent, and most of them were mainly battles against rat tides.
However, they are not completely without experience in dealing with rat trolls.
"We usually send out giant lizards to deal with rat trolls."
Since surrendering to the Great Zhou, monitor lizards have basically been used as an important "transportation force" here. Compared with horse-drawn carriages, monitor lizards can perform transportation tasks in complex rainforest environments, which is a huge advantage.
However, there are still a group of military monitors left on the southern battlefield.
But if they were to send out the monitor lizards, they would be faced with a situation where they would have to give up defense and take the initiative to attack.
Looking at the tide of rats outside the wall, if he just sent out the monitor lizards, there was a high probability that they would all be killed outside.
Just as he was thinking this, Li Ce's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he had noticed something.
Outside the city wall, some of the rat trolls were carrying a wooden pole that they had thrown down earlier on their shoulders, and they were quickly approaching the fortress gate.
Behind the gate, the blue lizard spearmen thrust their crystal iron spears through the windows in the door, trying to force it back, but they didn't know that the rat troll had no intention of actually rushing up.
After rushing to a certain distance, the rat troll suddenly exerted force, used the wooden spear as a throwing weapon, and smashed it hard at the fortress gate.
At that moment, there was a loud bang, and the entire door shook, causing the blue lizard spearmen hiding behind the door to feel their hearts skip a beat.
And this is obviously just the beginning.
I saw those rat trolls standing under the city wall, picking up the wooden stakes they had thrown down and throwing them at the fortress gate.
Although the fortress gate was covered with a thick layer of iron sheet, it could not withstand continuous heavy blows like this. After one round, the entire surface of the gate had shown obvious deformation.
Realizing that things were not going well if this continued, Li Ce quickly gave orders.
"Quick! Target those rat trolls and pour hot oil!"
In the current situation, if he continued to throw the wooden spear, if it was dodged, wouldn't that mean he would be giving the equipment to the Rat Troll on the other side? In comparison, Hot Oil didn't have this concern.
The hot oil in the big pot on the wall had been burning all the time. Now that they received the order, the lizardmen soldiers moved quickly. They found the right position and immediately poured several pots of hot oil towards the bottom of the wall.
Although the rat trolls were huge and muscular, they could not withstand the burning of the boiling oil. Large pieces of their skin and flesh were instantly burned beyond recognition. Some of them had the hot oil poured on their heads, and their appearance was even more miserable. Their shrill screams echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
The more miserable the rat trolls screamed, the harder they poured hot oil on the wall.
This attack may not be fatal to the rat troll, but it is definitely extremely painful!
The intense pain made them completely lose the desire to continue attacking. They succumbed to the instinct for survival and turned around and ran away.
Seeing this, Li Claw looked unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.
If the rat trolls want to threaten the opposing fortress gate, they cannot avoid entering the opponent's attack range. Opportunities and risks often coexist.
The retreat of the Rat Trolls greatly reduced the intensity of the Skaven army's offensive. The Claws lost interest in continuing the fight and directly issued an order to withdraw.
After confirming through the pterosaur riders that the ratman army had really retreated, Li Ce quickly gave the order to clean up the battlefield.
All important city defense resources had to be recovered. Apart from that, he certainly did not forget to quickly check the condition of the fortress gate.
The iron sheet on the surface has been obviously deformed, and judging from the situation, the wood underneath the iron sheet has probably also cracked.
"Go, call the construction team and have them reinforce this gate."
As they were busy, the sky gradually darkened. The walls of the Lizardman border fortress were still maintaining the highest level of alert, and there were pterosaur riders patrolling in the air.
At this moment, the pterosaur rider who was patrolling in the air seemed to have discovered something and hurriedly blew the horn as an alarm.
It was seen that the rat army had returned, and after nightfall, they once again organized a huge tide of rats and swept towards the border fortress.
Upon hearing the alarm, Li Ce quickly put on his armor and went into battle with a frown on his face.
[Something is wrong. The rat people suddenly came back. This has never happened before. What is their purpose in doing this? ]
Almost at the same time that Li Ce was thinking this, in the corner of the fortress where the wooden blocks were piled, pieces of wood fell and hands stretched out from it! (End of this chapter)
