Chapter 597: A Fight to the Death (Part 2)
Led by Zhou Chongshan, the Great Zhou cavalry charged forward courageously towards the rat people's regular army.
During this period, a rat tide surged, and countless rat slave soldiers mixed with regular army soldiers launched an attack to kill them.
Amidst the rat tide, a giant rat knight suddenly jumped out and attacked the oncoming Great Zhou cavalry.
Zhou Chongshan and his team had encountered situations like this before.
At the same time, they also knew that in such an offensive, the threat was not only the Giant Rat Knight, but also the Ratman Soldiers who were also riding on the backs of the Giant Rat but hiding behind the Giant Rat Knight, ready to launch a sneak attack at any time! As expected, this time was also the case. Almost at the same time when the Giant Rat Knight jumped out to attack and attract their attention, the Ratman Soldiers hiding behind the Giant Rat Knight also immediately launched a sneak attack on them.
However, unlike before, the ones hiding and preparing for the sneak attack this time were not ordinary ratmen soldiers, but the skinners who were elite troops! Compared with ordinary ratmen soldiers, skinners were more swift and fierce, and their moves were extremely deadly.
Seeing the sharp claws that were about to pierce his eyes in the blink of an eye, Zhou Chongshan relied on instinct, bent down, and swung his left knife quickly, dodging the opponent's attack while cutting the skinner in half on the spot! As a soldier, the skinner might be quite strong, but he was undoubtedly not as good as him. The difference in strength between the soldier and the general was quite obvious.
At the same time, although the strength of the remaining cavalry could not be compared with Zhou Chongshan's, they were all elite troops trained according to the highest standards of their Great Zhou.
The ratmen themselves are not known for their individual combat power, but rely on numbers.
Although the skinners are elite, they are also elite! Why would they be afraid? "Kill!!!"
Amid roars, the giant rat knights and skinners who rushed over were all stabbed to the ground by the crystal iron spears in their hands.
But the ratmen's interception did not end there, and a large number of rats around them continued to rush towards them.
What's even more troublesome is that there are regular rat army troops mixed in with the rat tide, such as the giant rat knights and skinners just now.
From time to time, it would suddenly jump out and attack them, making them unable to defend themselves.
And this is the real combat mode of the rat army!
This tactic forced Zhou Chongshan to change his plan. Relying on the cavalry unit's ability to break out of the encirclement, he retreated to the outskirts of the battlefield to regroup.
Then, looking at the surging tide of rats in the distance, Zhou Chongshan's face became uncertain.
He saw that the regular rat army troops that he had been able to lock onto before had now completely merged with the rat tide.
After these two forces merged together, the overall combat power of the rat tide became stronger, greatly increasing the pressure of their charge.
He did not have the same tactical mind as Li Ce, but he was also aware that their cavalry units' physical fitness had declined after several rounds of charges.
Even the breathing of the horses under them became noticeably rapid. If this momentum continued, they would probably not be able to hold on for a few more rounds.
After all, if they are not in sufficient condition, they will most likely stall due to lack of energy halfway through the charge and eventually be trapped and killed in the rat tide.
At this moment, probably guessing the situation of Zhou Chongshan and the others, Tash led his swift cavalry and rushed over.
"Let's coordinate the charge!"
"good!"
With a response, the Great Zhou Iron Cavalry and the Speed Dragon Cavalry quickly gathered together and rushed towards the rat tide again.
The increase in the size of the cavalry units made the group charges they formed more powerful, and at the same time the pressure they had to bear was reduced.
At the same time, on Li Ce's side.
After the gate was pushed open and the cavalry rushed out, Li Ce did not rush to command the infantry to charge out. Instead, he ordered the blue lizard spearmen to form a spear formation and block the entrance of the gate to fight with the tide of rats.
In this state, the left and right sides of the spear formation were blocked by the fortress walls, and there was no need to worry about being attacked by ratmen.
The only problem is that in this state, they lack the ability to pursue and can only stand still and output in this entrance area, making it difficult to further expand their killing efficiency.
Li Ce was not in a hurry about this. He blocked the entrance and killed two rounds of enemies first. At the same time, he also let the cavalry take this opportunity to rush out and kill as much as they wanted.
After he estimated that the time was almost right, he sent out a signal to summon the cavalry back.
After receiving the signal, Zhou Chongshan and Tash took a short rest and then led their troops back.
The arrival of the cavalry troops directly dispersed the tide of rats blocking the entrance of the fortress. Seizing this opportunity, Li Ce commanded the spear formation to push out in one breath, while the two cavalry troops turned around and followed, protecting the two wings of the spear formation like left and right bodyguards.
Soon, the spear formation that had defeated the rat tide many times before was reassembled! In the rat tide, looking at this formation, Lizhua's heart twitched, but at this point, he had no way out and could only fight to the death!
With a shriek, Sharp Claws quickly signaled the Giant Rat Knight to cooperate with the tide of rats to attack.
The battle has reached this point, and they already know each other well, so what they are competing for is hard power!
They were not afraid of a single rat tide as their spear formation was enough to be invincible in the rat tide. However, after mixing in the ratmen's regular army, the combat power of the rat tide seemed to have formed a chemical reaction. It became impossible to kill them off as easily as before.
During this period, the border fortress also did not hold back and rushed out in full force, with six armored dragons following closely behind.
However, unlike the spear formation, the scutum's body meant that they didn't need to worry about so many things. Although they moved slowly at this time, their advancement speed was much faster than that of the blue lizard spearmen who were confronting the rat tide head-on.
In a short while, he crossed the spear formation and stepped into the rat tide without looking back.
At this moment, Li Ce's purpose of releasing six armored dragons was very simple. In addition to letting the armored dragons help kill some ratmen, the biggest purpose was to let the armored dragons help them attract the attention of the rat tide, thereby sharing the pressure on them.
This move was very effective. After the Shield-Armored Dragon stepped into the rat tide, the surrounding rat slave soldiers subconsciously gathered towards these mountains of flesh, which greatly reduced the pressure on the spear formation and even the cavalry units on the two wings.
Seizing this opportunity, Li Ce did not hesitate at all and quickly commanded the spear formation to kill the enemy.
At the same time, the power of truth spread from Li Ce.
[Controlled by Skeleton Soldiers! ]
On this battlefield, his skeleton soldiers are not enough, but they are better than nothing.
In this wave, both sides really put all the strength at hand into the decisive battle in front of them!
