Chapter 913: City Gate Attack and Defense
As soon as the city gate opened a crack, the rat slave soldiers who were blocked outside the gate rushed in through the crack at the bottom of the door like crazy.
Regarding this situation, the raptors led by Tash were all calm and there was no sign of surprise.
On the contrary, Bai Tu's nerves quickly tensed up. The madness of the rat people was far beyond his imagination! Before this, he couldn't believe that there was such a crazy race in the world.
In order to reduce the probability of unexpected situations, they quickly sped up and raised the city gates.
"All troops charge! For the Emperor!!"
"For the Emperor!!!"
The slogan that Shi Lei shouted in order to boost morale and deal with the invasion of the greenskin troops has now, by some strange coincidence, spread throughout the Great Zhou army.
One by one, they learn so quickly.
With the sound of passionate battle cries, the velociraptors filed out of the city gate, and the rat tide that rushed in was hit head-on and defeated by this swift charge! At this moment, the velociraptors that rushed into the rat tide were like the sharpest blade, tearing through the black rat tide with an unstoppable momentum!
But at the same time, a large number of rat slave soldiers also seized this opportunity and poured into the city gate passage.
When Bai Tu gave the order to open the city gates, he had already anticipated the current situation.
Now we are not so confused.
"Top the spear formation! Block the exit!"
All the spearmen who had retreated from the city gate passage earlier were waiting outside the passage.
Now, at Bai Tu's command, they immediately formed a spear formation again and blocked the exit at the other end of the passage with their shining spear heads.
As long as the rat slave soldiers cannot break through this blockade, they will not be able to truly invade the fortress.
Of course, just blocking this end is definitely not safe enough. It cannot withstand any risks. If there is any mistake, the rat people will completely break into the interior.
"Push forward! Push the battlefield outside the city gate!"
After successfully counterattacking and killing the group of rat slave soldiers who were rushing in the front, Bai Tu immediately ordered an advance.
"For the Emperor!"
"For the Emperor!!"
The support from the Raptors greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers. At this moment, each of them seemed to be full of energy, as if all the pressure had been swept away and their condition had improved significantly.
With each step forward, the soldiers thrust their spears out again and again. The momentum of the advance was unstoppable and the battlefield was pushed outside the city gate in a short time.
At the same time, the entry of the Speed Dragon Cavalry was like dropping a blockbuster bomb into the rat tide.
For the fragile rat slave soldiers, the lethality of the cavalry charge is not small. The velociraptors led by Tash are unstoppable all the way, maintaining an amazing momentum and killing towards the periphery of the battlefield! Their purpose is very clear, that is, to directly break through the rat tide and leave the battlefield!
Charging towards the rat tide involves considerable risks.
If he didn't have enough experience, even Tash, who is usually carefree, wouldn't dare to do this.
After all, the density and scale of this rat tide are too exaggerated. If the cavalry unit suddenly loses speed halfway through the charge and is surrounded by the rat tide, they will basically be dead!
At this moment, looking at the velociraptors who were dividing the battlefield with a powerful charge, the ratman leader in the rear position had a slightly gloomy expression on his face.
[What's going on? The velociraptors are out now? Did the enemy sense that I was planning to attack directly?]
For this wave of offensive, the idea of the Ratman Leader was very simple, which was to use the Lizardmen's habitual thinking to make the other side subconsciously think that their offensive this year would be the same as in previous years, slowly fighting a war of attrition, completing the annual attrition task and then returning home.
At the same time, on the surface, he did pretend to be like that and did not do anything obvious.
But in fact, he was exerting his strength secretly.
In this state, if the opponent relaxes and becomes careless due to inertial thinking, he can immediately seize the opportunity and attack the opponent's fortress.
At that time, the main battlefield will be directly transferred to the inside of the opposite fortress. The change in environment will be enough to limit the performance of the opposite cavalry units. Once this situation is formed, they have already won half the battle.
But who would have thought that at this critical juncture, the Dragoons would actually go out directly.
The charge of the Swift Dragon Cavalry not only quickly reduced the strength of the Rat Tide troops, but also achieved the effect of dividing the battlefield. During the process, it inevitably led away a large number of Rat slave soldiers, which in disguise weakened their siege force.
Considering the original plan of the Rat Leader, this was obviously not a good thing.
"Commander, do we still need to continue the attack now?"
The adjutant beside him was undoubtedly aware of this. Their rat slave soldiers were indeed huge in number. At the same time, they had night vision and did not care whether the attack took place during the day or at night. It did not make much difference to them.
However! The physical strength problem cannot be ignored.
This is also the biggest reason why the ratmen troops will withdraw and reorganize in a timely manner.
However, at this moment, facing the adjutant's question, the rat leader shook his head.
"No, keep attacking!"
"I don't know where a group of humans came from, and they mixed with the lizardmen."
"Leave the lizardmen alone for now. Humans don't have night vision, so it's to our advantage to bring more casualties to the enemy at night."
With the rat leader giving the order, the rat tide offensive continued.
During this time, the sun set and the sky darkened rapidly, but the rat tide showed no intention of retreating. They still surrounded their fortress on an astonishing scale.
Faced with this situation, Soros, who was standing on the wall directing the battle, knew clearly.
This battle might last until dawn...
[These stinky rats really figured out that human soldiers have no night vision. ]
The shrouded night doubled the pressure on the soldiers led by Bai Tu. Bai Tu made a prompt decision and ordered the city gates to be closed.
While giving the soldiers time to rest, it also gives themselves time to carry out subsequent deployments.
Bai Tu, who had already realized the importance of the city gate, did not keep it closed for too long and soon opened it again.
At that moment, the tide of rats crowding outside the city gate did not disappoint him at all and rushed in immediately.
However, this time, what greeted them was no longer the sharp spears of the spearmen, but burning arrows! At the same time, the rat slaves who rushed in also quickly discovered that a large amount of wood had been piled up in the city gate passage, and it was covered with kerosene! Almost at the moment when the arrows fell, the amazing fire suddenly rushed up and engulfed all the rat slaves who rushed in!
