Chapter 593: A decisive battle
In a short period of time, a series of changes on the battlefield caused the situation to change rapidly.
Not to mention the velociraptors who were fighting with the giant rat knights, the knocked-down gate outside the opposite fortress should have become a breakthrough point for their rat tide attack.
However, at this moment, it seemed to have turned into the gate of hell. The three-bow crossbows and the spear formation composed of blue lizard spearmen attacked alternately. No matter how turbulent the rat tide was, once it poured into the city gate, it would be a dead end. Even the rat tide outside the city gate would be affected and suffer casualties! As a result, the interior of the fortress, which was originally in danger, was stabilized in time, while the wall area, which should have been as stable as Mount Tai, was now in chaos due to the shortage of city defense equipment and the wooden barrels constantly thrown from outside the wall.
Li Ce probably guessed the situation on the wall. After commanding the spearmen and crossbowmen to quickly stabilize the situation at the four gates, he immediately pulled out a part of the troops to transport city defense equipment to the top of the wall. At the same time, he deployed military resources to stabilize the situation.
Chaos broke out on the battlefield, but under the command of Li Ce and Soros, the Great Zhou troops, who had already stabilized their position, maintained order in the chaos and held the fortress. Faintly, they actually revealed a kind of immovable momentum.
At the same time, in the rear position of the ratmen, the giant rat knights he sent out successfully curbed the sudden attack of the opposing dragoon cavalry. This result made Claw's face look a little better, but the current situation was still not optimistic. The last pair of eyes fell directly on Jikum.
Feeling the gaze from the claws, Jikum was also confused at this moment.
He had originally thought of using this strategy to directly cooperate with the Skinner troops from inside and outside to destroy the opposite border fortress.
According to his plan, some skinners were successfully hidden in the wooden beams and sent in, and a big door of the enemy fortress was also smashed open by the rat trolls using wooden beams.
Up to this point, everything has been going smoothly.
Once the gate is broken, it will be easy for their regular army troops to rush forward with the help of the rat tide and capture the opposite border fortress.
Who could have imagined that once the gate was broken, it would be like opening the gate to hell, bringing them even greater disaster.
At the same time, the enemy reinforcements arrived at this time! At this point, even if you ask him to think of a strategy, he has no other choice.
Now the only issue that needs to be considered is whether to continue attacking or retreating!
Thinking of this, a hint of cruelty flashed across Jikum's face.
"Chief, the same trick will definitely not work against those stinky lizards a second time. According to my subordinates, why not use all our forces today to fight them to the death!"
Upon hearing this, Li Claw's facial muscles twitched violently.
Dedicate all the troops? As the clan leader, this really requires great determination.
But at the same time, he had to admit in his heart that Jikum was right.
Facing the Lizardmen's border fortress, they were helpless. Jikum came up with a plan and broke through the fortress gate opposite. This was already a rare opportunity. If they missed this one, there would be no guarantee that there would be a next time.
As he pondered the current situation in his mind, Claw's gaze kept scanning the rat army and Jikum in front of him.
During this process, perhaps because he understood the meaning in Lizhua's eyes, Jikum gritted his teeth and stood up.
"I am willing to do everything I can to help the army fight to the death!"
“…”
After hearing this, Li Claw, who was originally wavering in his heart, finally made up his mind.
"Alright! Let's fight the Lizardmen to the death here! Pass on my order, the regular army troops will advance and attack with all their might!!"
The Claw's order was given, and the attack horn was immediately sounded in the ratman position.
Listening to the horn sound coming from afar and looking at the regular rat army troops advancing again on the outskirts of the battlefield, Soros's face suddenly changed on the fortress wall.
[These stinky rats, do they want to fight us to the death tonight? ! ]
He had never seen such a scene before. When he thought of this possibility, Soros's face suddenly became more solemn.
At the same time, in the ratman position, as the regular army troops pushed forward, Jikum walked to an open space with full determination.
Then, he took out an extremely sharp bone dagger from his arms and pierced his left wrist.
At that moment, blood flowed out from the wound on his wrist and dripped onto the ground.
Jikum gritted his teeth, dropped the dagger, steadied his left hand, and drew a strange circle on the ground with the dripping blood.
Afterwards, he did not treat the wound. He just stood in the circle with his arms raised high, and kept emitting strange sounds from his mouth.
Along with these tones, the circle drawn with Jikum's own blood suddenly glowed with blood! Making the whole scene even more bloody and weird! The blood light emitted by Jikum's circle was particularly eye-catching under the night sky. Noticing the blood light in the distance, Soros' face was solemn, but he had no idea what was happening.
During this process, waves of rats continued to pour into the city gate passage.
As the only fortress gate that was knocked down, even though there were spear formations and three-bow crossbows blocking the door, it was unable to dispel the rat tide's offensive intention.
In fact, although the attack of the three-bow crossbow is powerful, it only hits the middle point and cannot fill the entire city gate passage.
Therefore, when the three-bow crossbow launched the attack, many rat slave soldiers seized the opportunity to rush into the fortress.
Of course, Li Ce was also aware of this problem, so at the end of the passage, he had already arranged blue lizard spearmen with crystal iron spears to guard there to fill the gap.
When rat slave soldiers rushed over, they were killed with crystal iron spears.
After the three-bow crossbow fired a shot, the blue lizard spearmen received Li Ce's order and moved quickly, immediately re-forming the spear formation to block the end of the passage.
Facing the surging tide of rats, he resolutely thrust out the crystal iron spear in his hand.
The fragile ratman slave soldiers were unable to withstand the sharpness of the crystal iron spears and were easily pierced through the body.
The blue lizard spearmen had almost formed muscle memory for the entire killing process. After stabbing once with their spears, they immediately planned to draw out their crystal iron spears and prepare to stab again.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the rat slave soldiers whose bodies were pierced by them suddenly behaved strangely. Their pierced bodies suddenly swelled violently, and finally exploded with a "bang" like balloons that were blown up to the limit.
In an instant, pieces of flesh and internal organs exploded along with a strange bloody water emitting a fishy smell.
The blue lizard spearmen in the front row were caught off guard and were splashed all over.
It was nothing in fact. On this battlefield, they were naturally not afraid of a little bloodstain.
But the smelly blood splashed on them and made a sizzling sound, as if it had some amazing corrosiveness. They were burned to a crisp on the spot with screams! I was sick, took medicine and slept, but I overslept...
