Chapter 134: The Importance of Blitzkrieg
Don't look at the stones and orc boys who are covered in blood one by one, in fact, almost all of these blood stains come from the enemy's body, and there are only a handful of green skins who are really injured, so it can be said that they have completed the first stage of the strategic goal at the lowest cost.
However, the current situation is not optimistic enough to sit back and relax, and if the enemy in front of you is not addressed, the battle could still be turned over by the rats.
Although most of the nezumi of the "Clan of X" have been taken by the patriarch Phoenix to sneak attack the "Steel Rock" above, and now is the time when they are the emptiest, but even so, there are still twenty or thirty thousand nezumi in the nest at this time, but most of them are the most ordinary clan rats and weaker slave rats.
When these motive rat cubs met the menacing green-skinned boy, it was good that they didn't scatter and flee for their lives at the first time, even if there were those who held their ground, they were mercilessly cut into pieces by these fierce soldiers, leaving stumps and broken arms all the way, just like a mantis arm as a car, which could not play a real interception role.
In the final analysis, it was because the stones appeared too suddenly, and the underground rat nest covered too much area, and the unsuspecting rats were distributed in various areas, and there were many slave rats hiding in the caves of the surrounding rock walls, and they didn't have time to gather, like a large plate of mud and sand scattered everywhere, and there was no point in the number.
Stone they blocked and killed gods all the way, and the Buddha blocked and killed Buddhas, and the rat people who were hastily assembled were not superior in terms of local numbers, not to mention that their individual combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the orc boys, so they all collapsed with one touch, and they couldn't even do the simplest delay time.
It's like a boxing match that has just started, and the "Broken Claw Tribe" doesn't have the slightest temptation, but directly dribbles all his strength and throws a heavy punch at the opponent's vital point, striving for a one-punch knockout.
Facts have proved that this set of tactics of the stone is very correct, he did not divide his troops or step by step, but fought a blitzkrieg as quickly as possible, concentrated all his forces and rushed directly to the most important target, almost effortlessly, he led the boys to the core of the nezumi lair, just like the fist has come to the opponent's door, just hit the opponent, the game will be over.
But before that, he still has to defuse the enemy's attack first, these rat people are not stupid to sit and wait for death, although they have been like a bamboo before, but as I said just now, the rat nest is too big, even if it takes a lot of time to run from the tunnel mouth to the temple in the center, not to mention the rat soldiers and rat generals on the road.
It was during these times that countless rat people from other directions had already come to the Great Horned Rat Temple under the guidance of the bell, and under the leadership of the leader who stayed behind, they finally formed a defense line that looked like that.
Standing at the forefront of this line of defense is naturally the eternal cannon fodder troops, slave rats.
The nezumi were unclothed, revealing scrawny bodies, brown or brown fur covered with a thick layer of ash, and they held a variety of tattered weapons in their hands, even though they were numerous, but they were not of any lethal power.
Behind them is the cornerstone of the Skaven army, the trained Clan Rats, whose equipment is also a notch higher than that of the slaves in front of them, some armed with short swords, some with spears, and some with swords in one hand and wooden shields in the shape of an inverted triangle in the other—the signature equipment of the Nezumen, who believe that the inverted triangle symbolizes the great Great Horned Rat, which can bring them courage and strength.
And behind the clan rat front, in addition to a small group of obviously taller black-skinned rat people, there are also many slave rats, but they are all holding slings.
On the opposite side of this newly formed army of rat people, there were the green-skinned boys who had fought their way out, and when they saw the enemy in front of them, they involuntarily slowed down, and while resuming their rapid breathing, they looked at the orcs at the front.
This orc is nearly two meters tall, under a pitch-black iron armor is a piece of muscle that has been engorged, and in the middle of his head there is a row of colorful hair, but on both sides is a bare green scalp, such a distinctive hairstyle is naturally only one person has, that is, the boss of the "Broken Claw Tribe", Shishi.
He took the lead in stopping when he saw the opponent's troops, shook his wrist, and shook off the remaining nezumi blood on the weapon, and then squinted his eyes and looked at the enemy in front of him.
The number of enemies on the opposite side was large, estimated at four or five thousand people, including the slave rats, four to five times that of the orcs and goblin spearmen on the stone side, and he also found that the number of opponents continued to increase as time passed.
The giant bell at the top of the Great Horned Rat Temple has struck thirteen just now, and this number has an extremely special meaning for the Skaven people, like the supreme authority of their entire population, the "Council of Thirteen", which only has thirteen seats, and as the spokesperson of the Great Horned Rat in the mortal world, the number of the "Sons of the Great Horned Rat" Grey Prophet will always remain at 169, 13 times 13.
And for the nezumi at this moment, the thirteen bells mean that a great catastrophe has come, and everyone must put down everything in their hands and gather in the temple at once.
If Stone doesn't want to fall into the sea of nezumi, he must crush the troops in front of him as quickly as possible and occupy the Temple of the Great Horned Rat, only in this way can he completely destroy the morale of the nezumi and achieve his strategic goals, otherwise the longer it drags on, the more dangerous they will be.
However, even with such a tight schedule, the orc lord did not immediately roar and rush forward as soon as his brain was hot, but continued to squint and observe the opposing troops.
It wasn't until he was sure that the other side's ranged troops were only slave rats with slings, that a sincere smile appeared on his face, and he smiled like a fat man of two hundred pounds.
Sure enough, like the other nezumi clans, the "Clan of X" does not have any decent ranged troops and cavalry units, and it is obvious that as a nascent warlord clan, they also do not have the technical strength and funds to have those special classes or war machines that use dimensional stones.
It may seem to them that long-range attacks are useless in the dark tunnels, and that is true, but the main battlefield today is not in the familiar tunnels, but in the open space in front of their own temple.
Confirming this, the stone turned around and said to the orc boys behind him:
"Remember what I told you? Do as I say, grab your little farts and throw them at them as far as you can with rugby! ”
