Chapter 531: Cannon Fodder vs. Cannon Fodder
These toads have thick skin and thick flesh, and it is difficult to pierce them with the spokes of bicycles alone - often half an inch into the flesh can no longer be poked in, but the spokes of the bicycle, which are not strong enough, are bent up, and even the spearmen holding the spokes of the bicycle are bounced out.
Only a shorter, harder embroidery needle or utility knife can pierce the toad's defenses, or in the most primitive way - direct bite and scratch.
But this brings a second problem, the toad is covered with mucus and poison sacs, and can actively or passively spray extremely corrosive venom, using embroidery needles, utility knives, scratching or biting, it is easy to be splashed by the venom, and end up in a lose-lose situation.
The rats can only form a team and stick the spokes of their bicycles into the dirt to "draw the ground as a prison" in an attempt to control the range of the toad.
But these beasts with great jumping power can jump out of the cage that has not yet formed with a single leap and attack the rat people from behind.
Their tongues are longer than lizards, and they are as fast as lightning, like flexible stingers, which can directly penetrate the vital points of the rats, even if they are only glued to the fur of the rats, they can often stick the rats together, and they are thrown high onto the sharp rocks around them, breaking their tendons and breaking their brains.
Finally, the strong soldiers of the Cat Eater family stuck more than a dozen bicycle spokes into the body of a toad, and then exerted force together in the back, severely restricting its movement.
The cat eater himself went into battle and stabbed a bicycle spoke, cut in two, into the toad's belly.
The toad roared amazingly, and it swelled again, and its whole body was crystal clear to the extent that all its internal organs were clearly visible, and then, with a "bang", it exploded.
Its corpse was wrapped in a large amount of venom, splashing around like a goddess scattering flowers, and the strong soldiers of the cat eater family could not dodge, and the fur suddenly made a "snort" sound, and wisps of green smoke came out, twitching like an electric shock.
If it weren't for Chu Ge's quick eyes and quick hands, he used his tail to drag the cat eater from behind, and even this general of the Fangy Kingdom was almost blinded by the venom of the toad, and he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, squeaking and screaming.
"Look, look at it!"
The house leak coincided with the overnight rain, this sentence is used to describe the situation of the defenders at the moment, it is very appropriate, the group of rats has just been dizzy by the toad, suddenly, a rat people feel that something wet dripping on their face, when they look up, they find that the roof of the cave is crawling with a piece of shiny things, and they look closely, and it is a large centipede and Ma Lu.
These insidious poisonous insects, taking advantage of the fact that the defenders' attention was focused on the lizards and toads, bypassed the insecticide-infested range from all sides, arched one by one, climbed to the top of the defenders' heads, and then fell down "crackling".
It was a nightmare battle.
Although the defense power of centipedes and horses is not as high as that of toads, they are better than enough in number, and the toxicity is more violent, often as long as they crawl over the rat people, they can instantly raise a purple-red blood mark high high, and when they rub it slightly, the skin and flesh will immediately open and flow out of fishy pus and blood.
This is also thanks to the fact that the defenders are all wild and untamed rat people, accustomed to dealing with these ugly underground creatures - they are themselves a type of underground creatures, and from an aesthetic point of view, snakes, insects, rats and ants are all one.
If you were a sensitive human, facing a giant centipede that was about the same height and weight as you, or even a giant toad that was several times larger than you, she would roll herself over with her slimy tongue and rub it cordially against its rough skin covered with poison sacs - such a nightmarish scene, just thinking about it, was enough to make most human warriors tremble, and the two trembled.
The same is true of Chu Ge.
He felt his limbs and tail tremble, and he just wanted to hold his head and run away.
You can't blame him for not being righteous, it's really that the appearance of underground creatures is too scary, and it simply breaks through the psychological limit that humans can bear.
What's more, Chu Ge's body has not been greatly strengthened, only the combat power of the spiritual attack has been strengthened - but the premise of the spiritual attack including absorbing the shock energy is that the target must have a spirit, soul, and wisdom to speak of!
Chu Ge was able to frighten the rat clan of the Ivory Kingdom, provided that the rat clan was smart enough to understand the edge in his gaze.
But most of the individuals in the insect tide, whether it was cockroaches, spiders, lizards, centipedes, Ma Lu or toads, Chu Ge did not perceive anything in their minds that could be called "soul" or "wisdom light", some enemies didn't even have brains, and only a few simple nerve clusters in their bodies, so how could he use his strength to attack the other party with the shock energy of the other party?
"Are you mistaken, why are they all well-limbed and simple-minded guys, this is embarrassing!"
Chu Ge was terrified, and rushed wildly.
Thankfully, the cat eaters are still very kind of to him.
In other words, the rats sincerely believe in the existence of the gods, see this battle as a just battle of light against darkness, and have the most sacred mission to dispel all ugly and evil ghosts - even if they die tragically in this sacred war, their heroic spirits will eventually return to the embrace of the gods, to the eternal heaven under the blue sky and white clouds.
Therefore, even in the face of the ugliest insect tide, they can rush forward without hesitation, forcibly restrain the feeling of nausea and fear, and pierce embroidery needles, bicycle spokes, utility knives, pencil sharpeners, scalpels, and all kinds of sharp metal and bone spurs deep into the worms' bodies.
After all, it is the most powerful force in the underground of Lingshan City, and at the critical moment, all the rat clans have exerted their kung fu to press the bottom of the box, and the cat eaters and their clansmen have expanded several times, and their fur once again shows an indestructible luster like marble; Golden Tail and its people flicked their tails to "crackle" and make a chaotic sound, and one after another arcs flowed in the insect tide, bursting and exploding, and a large area could be scorched as soon as it exploded.
Having these rat clans at the forefront made Chu Ge breathe a sigh of relief and see Bai Ye's calm arrangement in the rear.
At this moment, relying on the front-line rat clan's fierce battle to the death, to gain valuable buffer time, the panicked and scattered black rats, gray rats and white rats in the rear have been organized.
Thousands of rats used as cannon fodder were blindfolded, tied together in twos and threes with wooden sticks, and then ignited irritating gases to disturb their sense of smell and stimulate their ferocity, and then stabbed them in the back of their buttocks with embroidery needles, and the rats immediately swept towards the city like a surging tide.
Insect tide, to rat tide!
In terms of number and reproductive ability, the rat clan is by no means inferior to any opponent in the underground world, and the cannon fodder armed with bone armor and bone spurs is not comparable to ordinary lizards and cockroaches.
Although the rat clan cannon fodder also paid a tragic price, the sacrifice of the gray rat, the black rat and the white rat who was not enlightened was not in the consideration of the white night and all the rat clans, anyway, in the caves and crevices behind the luminous city, there was cannon fodder.
With a sharp whistle, black or gray torrents flowed out of the cracks in the rocks, converging into a mighty flood that continued to pour towards the city, and soon piled up into tombstones with teeth and claws along with the corpses left by the insect tide.
Not all gray and black rats are forced.
There are also a large number of gray squirrels and black rats, who have a certain amount of intelligence and know what they are facing, but they all get a promise from White Night that if they win this war, they can get rid of their slave status and become the true citizens of the Long Fang Kingdom.
Therefore, even if they didn't have to blindfold or disturb their sense of smell, they all mustered up their courage, like crazy demons, screaming and pounced on the insect tide, relying on the simple bone spears in their claws, and even with their own minions, trampling on the sea of corpses and blood, striving for a glimmer of life, even if the companions in front were eroded by the venom of the insect tide to expose their bones, they could not stop the slaves behind from rushing forward without fear of death.
Relying on cannon fodder to delay time, the regular army of the Longtooth Kingdom was finally able to withdraw and take a breath.
At this time, Bai Ye also opened the most important strategic arsenal of the Long Fang Kingdom, a large number of fully enclosed heavy armor made of canned food boxes, as well as divine weapons made of scalpels, were sent to the front line, including the cat eaters and the golden-tailed clansmen, most of the elite of the rat clan, all of them were armed to the teeth.
