Chapter 107, the frustrated wild boar man
Soon, the fierce confrontation began in that deep ravine.
In these days, with the attack on the wild boar city, the rat people have not made any progress.
The young ratmen who survive the battle will naturally transform into qualified ratmen warriors.
And as the war continues, more and more senior rat warriors will begin to appear among the rat warriors.
Coupled with the metal spears and shields continuously obtained from the wild boar people.
A group of real rat-man legions are gradually taking shape.
It's just a pity that without the support of the military merit reward system, this rat army can only go so far.
However, the improvement in combat effectiveness is not only reflected in soldiers.
Relying on the equipment obtained from the wild boar people, the combat effectiveness of the rat army is still increasing.
As long as the Skaven army can continue to win, there will be more and more Skaven warriors who are constantly transforming and senior Skaven warriors.
Of course, there are also those metal spears, shields, as well as various pitchforks, hatchets, shovels, iron pots, crossbows and sickles.
Yes, with the continuous victory, the style of the rat army under Sheng Qi is becoming more and more strange.
Because those young rat people who survived discovered a very real problem.
That is.
Just pick up something in these wild boar camps, it will be more useful than the rotten wooden spear in your hand.
Ever since, the young wererats began to pick up garbage on the battlefield after the war.
Regardless of shields, spears, or armor, basically only rat warriors are eligible to take them.
Don't look at it. Sheng Qi has already led his army to capture several cities.
But these things are simply not enough for the huge rat army.
So the tools in the hands of the wild boar civilians, the crossbow arrows on the siege crossbows, kitchen utensils, and many other messy things were picked up by the young rat men and used as weapons.
Even many of the city-defending crossbows placed on the city walls were forcibly mounted on giant rats by some rat-men running knights.
But this is really wronging these giant rats.
Although the name contains the word "giant", it is only two or three meters tall, but it has to carry a weight that is even larger than my own body.
The Ratmen's troops became even more chaotic.
But the combat effectiveness has been truly improved. No matter what, the iron pitchfork is still more lethal than the rotten wooden spear.
If you find the right opportunity, this pitchfork can easily send the tall wild boar warrior away on the spot.
It's really a sharp tool.
As the number of fallen rat-men increased, these rat-men armed with all kinds of messy weapons swarmed forward.
The quilboar warriors at the bottom of the ravine became increasingly difficult to resist.
They didn't support it hard.
Instead, they began to retreat. Seeing the enemy's retreat, the young ratmen cheered enthusiastically, and then chased after the wild boar warriors in front of them.
Then, there were the rolling logs and boulders that were pushed down, and the young rat people who had already experienced facing rolling logs and falling rocks fled in panic.
However, there were still many young ratmen who did not escape and were crushed into pieces of hash browns.
With the follow-up of the young ratmen.
The weapon in the hands of the dead rat man got a new owner in the fight, and more rat men started to climb the vertical ladder in front of them like ants.
This staircase was originally the product of rough excavation in the land. For the rat people, it was even easier to climb than the rock wall.
Soon, some young ratmen climbed up, but what greeted them was the wild boar warrior who had been waiting for a long time.
A steady stream of young ratmen fell down screaming.
And this is just one of the steps in the twenty-meter ravine.
Divided into steps of five meters, the 20-meter gully was dug into four steps. Each section of the gully was equivalent to a simple city wall.
If you want to rush through this ravine, then this means that the Skaven will have to conduct four non-stop siege battles.
Even though the gully cannot be compared with the real city wall full of defensive facilities, when you break out of the ravine, what you have to face is not the city wall.
Moreover, the wild boar commander is quite smart. Of course, he knows that this gully is just a means to block and delay the rat people, so the wild boar warriors will not really fight bloody battles with the rat people in it.
When the situation in a section of the ravine becomes irreversible, the wild boar warriors inside will decisively start to retreat, and then quickly organize a defense line again in the previous section of the ravine.
In this way, the battle line was continuously stretched.
Of course, Shengqi could break through this ravine by digging a hole in the ground.
To put it bluntly, this is just a large pit roughly dug around the city.
Far less troublesome than those underground tunnels that were soaked in water.
But it takes time.
After all, the quilboars on the defensive side are not fools, and of course they will not sit back and watch you dig in front of you.
It's hard to say whether the wild boar commander had expected this.
Obviously, it is difficult for the city's defenders alone to deal with the huge rat-man expedition led by Sheng Qi.
The wild boar people invested too much power in the wild boar knight.
But the embarrassing thing is that the rat men traveling underground are not interested in the wild boar knights running on the surface.
If it were an army of ordinary races, facing this large and powerful number of wild boar knights.
Then the accompanying emotions may be despair.
Huge knights will roam around the army like a pack of wolves, and small armies will be penetrated and destroyed by this army of knights.
Although large armies have a certain ability to resist these knights.
But the non-stop harassment and intimidation will make most of the army fearful and uneasy. In this case, there is nothing you can do.
Unless you send an equally powerful cavalry force to confront these quilboar knights.
But at this time, another very real question arises again, that is, can you really defeat these elite knights who ride ferocious wild boars, wear full body armor, and are armed to the teeth?
This is originally an unsolvable problem, and these wild boar knights are definitely qualified to dominate.
But the first opponent of the wild boar man is the rat man who takes an unusual path.
The underground marching method not only makes the traces and attack routes of the rat army difficult to detect.
He also avoided the head-on confrontation with the wild boar knights in the wilderness.
Moreover, their priests who basically only knew the mad transformation technique also restrained the cavalry. Even if the wild boar knights could withstand the mad transformation technique, the ferocious wild boars couldn't bear it.
If in the middle of a neat charge, the ferocious wild boar suddenly goes berserk and starts attacking randomly.
This picture is not pretty.
At the same time, there are also rat-men running knights who are good at sneak attacks and group fights mixed in the army.
Even if hard power still prevails.
But they can only go back and forth in the city to rescue those cities that were attacked.
Even if it is difficult to catch the rat army.
The large number of Skaven Priests and Skaven Assault Knights mixed among them will also make the charge of the Wild Boar Knights extremely uncomfortable.
But the wild boars spent most of their wealth to build a knight army.
I just suppressed my blush and felt inexplicably aggrieved.
