Chapter 916: Changes in Situation
"The will to break through the enemy lines!"
“There is death and no life!!!”
Accompanied by thunderous slogans, the Vanguard Cavalry charged into the battlefield with their ruthless iron hooves.
The waves of flaming arrows that had been shot out earlier provided them with some vision. The cavalry led by Zhou Chongshan now transformed themselves into invincible chariots and charged straight towards the outer battlefield.
The dense tide of rats that seemed to have no end in sight seemed unable to pose any obstacle to them, and were even vulnerable to a single blow. Wherever the iron hooves passed, all the rats along the way were crushed to death.
The terrifying dominance on the battlefield instantly changed the expression of the ratman leader in the rear.
"Damn it! Where did this cavalry come from?!"
At this moment, there was an uncontrollable madness in the rat leader's voice.
In a short period of time, the drastic fluctuations in his emotions almost made him pass out.
"Stop them! Stop them at all costs!!"
Of course he knew what this strange cavalry unit was trying to do by appearing at this time.
If he lets them rescue the dragoons, all his previous operations and losses will be in vain! In fact, it doesn't matter whether the rat leader gives this order or not.
The rat slave soldiers always pounce on anyone they see, even injured members of their own clan, and will pounce on them without hesitation to eat them up completely. This time when facing the Vanguard Cavalry, it was no exception.
But the Piercing Cavalry were not on the same level as them. Their attacks and sieges were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of the Piercing Cavalry.
There was no need for any extra operations. Just maintain the original momentum of the charge and just run over it in a straight line! The earth was shaking, a sign that the cavalry was approaching.
The Vanguard Cavalry, which had penetrated the entire rat tide and charged all the way from the fortress gate to the outer battlefield, made a slight adjustment before first sending out a round of flaming arrows to illuminate some of their vision so that they would not be completely blind.
With the help of this round of fire arrows, the Vanguard Cavalry successfully locked onto the target and immediately charged again.
The charge of ordinary cavalry was already a big deal, and the charge of heavy cavalry was even more exaggerated! During this process, Zhou Chongshan might not have seen where Tash and his men were, but it was impossible for Tash and his men not to notice the existence of the Piercing Cavalry.
In other words, if you don't want to be accidentally injured by the charge of the cavalry, you have to keep your eyes open.
Otherwise, the ratmen failed to kill them, but instead they died at the charge of their own people, which would be too unfair.
With such thoughts in mind, the dragoons led by Tash also tensed up their nerves.
Hearing the clang of iron hooves and feeling the earth shaking, Tash and the others felt their hearts in their throats.
I didn't have this feeling when we fought side by side before.
Until this moment, Tash, who was standing at this perspective, finally realized how terrifying the existence of the Piercing Cavalry was as an enemy! Under the iron hoofs, all beings were truly equal.
No matter whether you are a Skaven Slave or a Giant Rat Knight, you will be crushed to death in one encounter! Tash and the others gasped in shock, but they did not forget to seize the opportunity and run for their lives!
"Brothers, follow me to break through!"
The scale of the rat tide here was no match for the one on the main battlefield. They were crushed by the Iron Cavalry in just one encounter. This also allowed the Dragoons who were stuck in the mud to escape successfully.
Having broken free from the rat tide, the velociraptors did not turn around and leave.
Instead, he ran directly to the periphery and started a sweep.
Although the Breach of Formation Cavalry had never appeared in the war with this ratman clan, they had still practiced some tactical applications in a coordinated manner.
One of the cavalry tactics required the cooperation between their dragoons and the vanguard cavalry.
The Vanguard Cavalry were responsible for the frontal charge, while their Dragoons were responsible for close-range sweeps, with the two sides covering and cooperating with each other.
Unfortunately, under the cover of night, the Vanguard Cavalry would definitely not be able to form effective cooperation with them due to their vision problems.
But it doesn’t matter. If they can’t cooperate with each other, then they can just cooperate unilaterally with the Vanguard Cavalry.
After confirming the charge route of the Vanguard Cavalry, the Dragoons who had already moved to the flank battlefield directly started to do the work of "filling in the gaps". Facing the fleeing rat tide, they surrounded and intercepted them in various ways, waving their swords wildly to avenge the previous siege!
The existence of the Vanguard Cavalry caught the Ratman Leader by surprise.
This charge by the opponent directly set the stage for a counterattack by the Southern Fortress.
During this period, it was not only the leader of the ratmen who felt helpless about the rapidly changing situation, but also Soros, the commander.
"Major Bai Tu, your troops will take over the garrison work on the wall!"
Bai Tu reacted quickly after receiving the order and immediately signaled his troops to climb onto the top of the wall.
At the same time, the Lizardmen's troops withdrew from the top of the wall at the fastest speed, formed a spear formation, and rushed out from the inside of the fortress! For the rat tide outside the South Border Fortress, they had just endured the ruthless charge of the Piercing Cavalry, but when they turned around, the Lizardmen's spear formation came up.
This made their already chaotic situation even more chaotic.
Upon seeing this, Soros immediately commanded his troops to pursue the enemy in the chaos and expand the results of the battle.
During this period, Bai Tu became the commander-in-chief responsible for the garrison of the southern fortress.
Thanks to the performance of the Vanguard Cavalry and the Lizardman troops outside, after stabilizing the situation, Bai Tu's overall performance was quite good.
At this moment, with the help of unexpected situations, the troops at the Southern Fortress can be said to be getting better.
In contrast, the leader of the ratmen felt like he was about to break apart!
The rat tide outside has gotten out of control, and the giant rat knight troops that were sent out are now in danger of death, and no one knows what the situation is.
The ratman leader, who had the situation under control the moment before and was determined to annihilate the dragoon cavalry and cut off the arm of the lizardmen, was on the verge of exploding the next moment.
However, given that so many troops have already been invested, he will definitely be unwilling to just turn around and retreat.
The rat leader made a decision quickly.
As the order was given, a ratman wearing a rag cloak appeared on the battlefield. He held a fanged dagger in his hand. After taking a deep breath, he stabbed his wrist with the dagger.
At that moment, blood quickly flowed out from his wrist and dripped onto the ground.
Upon seeing this, the rat man immediately dropped the dagger, steadied his bleeding hand, and drew a strange circle on the ground with the dripping blood.
Then he stood in the center of the circle, raised his arms high, and made strange sounds.
As these tones were sounded, the bloody light of the circle under the rat man burst out, and the whole scene became even more bloody and weird! (End of this chapter)
