Chapter 160, The promise of rat war, the chaotic battlefield.
The sudden appearance of the rat man in front of him was enough to surprise Old One-Eye.
But what surprised him even more was that the rat man who appeared in front of him only had this point in front of him.
The hasty rat battle only brought the rat knight and the ferocious knight.
After a bloody battle, the rat knights were severely damaged. Only a little over ten thousand of the twenty thousand rat knights were left, and only a hundred of the five hundred ferocious knights were left.
Rat knights often have a strong smell of blood on their bodies, and those ferocious knights are even worse, with scratches on their armor filled with dark red blood.
Even though he was still far away, the soaring smell of blood was still noticed by Old One-Eye.
But even with their terrifying posture, the number of rat knights was still too small, and Old One Eye, who had been spying on the war between the sheep orcs and the rat men, had a certain estimate of the combat effectiveness of that group of outsiders.
A decision was made.
And he knew the rat-man general who raised the flag. In the last battle between the goat-orcs and the rat-men, he rode a giant sheep and watched the battlefield from a distance.
He didn't know that the generals of the outsiders would break away from the large army and come to him with a group of knights.
Quite arrogant and aggressive.
Does he think he can defeat him with these troops in his hands?
Such thoughts appeared in Old One-eye's mind, making him a little stunned, followed by anger and amusement.
Undoubtedly, being despised like this is a good thing. After making a decision, even if the gods dropped the oracle, the opportunity at this time is quite rare.
He wants to eat the army in front of him and then kill that arrogant guy.
The argali knights in the camp began to charge.
Old One-Eye wants to kill the arrogant guy in front of him with his own hands, if any of these outsiders can kill the old guy who has been fighting with him all his life.
Then there is only the guy holding up the flag.
Everything was so sudden that it even made him feel a little unreal. He had obviously prepared everything, but the guy was dead.
If that old guy can be killed so easily, then why have I been waiting for this day for almost a lifetime.
But you haven’t waited yet?
In complex emotions.
Old One-Eye led the argali knights behind him and began to charge towards the rat army in front of him.
This kind of reaction is what Shu Zhan wants to see.
The rat knights couldn't catch up with the group of sheep orc knights, and naturally they couldn't catch up with the group of argali knights.
But the angry Rat Zhan obviously no longer wanted to continue playing the chase and escape game with these damn guys on this empty grassland.
So what should I do?
Rat Zhan learned a trick from that damn old sheepman.
If you can't catch up with the opponent, then let the opponent chase you.
Use yourself as bait and all the rat knights in your hand as bait.
And now, the fish has taken the bait.
Needless to say, the rest of the matter is naturally a game. If the argali tribe can eat the rat knights who served as bait before the subsequent rat army arrives and kill the rat war, then it will be The argali tribe wins.
And if the rat war is delayed until the follow-up army arrives, then the result will naturally be the opposite.
Looking at the group of argali knights running in front of them.
Rat Zhan put away the ferocious smile on his face. Of course, there was another problem with this strategy.
Even if the rat army arrived, the argali knights did not eat the rat army led by Rat Zhan and Rat Zhan.
But if they choose to retreat, the rat people still won't be able to catch up with them.
Even if the rat people were able to tear off a large piece of meat from the argali at that time and establish an advantage, they could not hurt the foundation of the sheep orcs.
Moreover, what Mouse War expected was impossible.
But this is easy to solve.
As long as the group of argali knights in front of them have to stay and fight, that's fine.
Although this requires a bit more radicality.
The rat army was already at the rear. Rat Zhan issued the most stringent orders and also gave the most generous rewards.
On leaving.
He will distribute rewards according to the ranking of the arrival of the Skaven army and the arrival of the Skaven teams. Among the first batch of Skaven to arrive, Rat Zhan made a generous and useful promise.
Skaven warlord.
He will select a rat warlord from among the first batch of rat warriors arriving to join the battlefield.
Well, this reward is really useful.
And the subsequent rewards were not bad at all.
The first ten batches, the first one hundred batches, the first one thousand batches.
Blood mushrooms, a lot of blood mushrooms, a very large amount of blood mushrooms, not a lot of nonsense, Rat War gave a very generous and unpretentious reward.
In order to make these guys work harder and be more excited, he specifically promised rewards by approving this unit.
It's as if you just need to work harder and run faster, and the generous rewards will be your turn.
But the moisture in it is so huge.
One batch, one batch, as long as this war is over, it won't be a rat war, just a few rat people, one batch or one batch.
A subtle incentive, but very useful.
Especially when paired with Rat Zhan's furious roar.
The last Skaven warrior to arrive will be hanged by him.
When Shu Zhan led the rat knights to leave the huge army, a brief confusion appeared in the eyes of most rat warriors.
I don't quite understand what the commander-in-chief meant.
It was only later, when the first batch of clever rat warriors left the team and began to run wildly on the grassland.
It didn't matter what Shu Zhan said.
The first to arrive will get rewards, a lot of rewards, and those who run slowly will be hanged.
In short, run for your life.
The huge rat army abandoned the neat formation and turned into a large number of scattered teams, and began to run wildly on this vast grassland.
This has great disadvantages, but it can guarantee a premise that most rat warriors will run for their lives for rewards and to avoid being hanged.
They can reach the battlefield faster.
As for the group of rat warriors who were slightly injured or consumed too much physical strength in the previous war, I'm sorry.
If Shu Zhan said he would reward you, that might be a little bit of a problem, but if Shu Zhan said he would hang you, then he would probably hang you.
As for how to find Shu Zhan running away on this vast grassland.
A bloody road dragged out is the guide.
As for those poor guys who were used as chalk.
It doesn't take much consideration, the candidates are of course the most suitable young rats to be used as consumables on the spot.
One or two hundred young rats were tied with thick hemp ropes, hung behind the giant rats, and cut.
In the powerless struggle of fear and despair, they were dragged on this lush grassland by the huge giant rats.
Shu Zhan did not break his promise.
The rat runner who had his head cut off by the old sheep man was appointed as a rat warlord on the spot by him.
Shu Zhan even brought him to his side.
This guy is still a little dazed now.
Shu Zhan showed him a gentle smile, patted his shoulder, and pointed at the argali knights running wildly in the distance.
And made an appointment for him.
On the spot, this guy who was still a little dazed became the leader of the rat knights and was about to start the charge as the leader.
Hearing this appointment, the lucky new rat warlord was stunned for a moment.
Everyone knows that the rat knights and the rat supervisors are the personal guards directly commanded by Shu Zhan.
And now he has become the leader of the personal guards under Shu Zhan.
At this moment, his mind was a little confused.
Until he was pushed to the front of the rat knights, a flag with a giant rat painted on it was delivered to his hand, looking at the argali knights running in the distance.
He shuddered and sobered up a lot.
This is not something he can deal with, he will die! He will definitely die!
But he heard a light word spit out from Shu Zhan's mouth.
"I admire you very much, if you can kill the leader on the opposite side, or maybe a member of the Rat Council."
He didn't even finish.
But these simple words made this lucky new warlord stunned.
After a short silence, his body began to tremble involuntarily, his eyes turned red, and he held the flag tightly in his hand.
Amid the angry roar, he led the charge.
Behind him, the Rat Knights also began to charge.
The Rat Knights, who were absolutely inferior in numbers, took the initiative to charge.
Under the leadership of a new warlord with red eyes and a battle flag.
And Rat Zhan, Rat Zhan would naturally not lead the way.
Of course he would also join the battlefield, and the old sheep man with horns on the opposite side was his target.
Of course, it was also the target of a poor guy who had gambled everything.
Rat Zhan didn't think he could do it, although if he really did it, Rat Zhan would fulfill his promise.
Rat Zhan landed in the middle of the Rat Knights, and charged towards the Argali Knights in front of him with the army.
It's just that the possibility is not great.
A bad guy who is not that bad.
The ram knights who rushed down and the argali knights who rushed to them collided fiercely.
At this moment, both sides were thrown to the ground.
But the argali knights who had the advantage in numbers were undoubtedly more advantageous. The deployed queue almost completely surrounded the ram knights.
But the ram knights didn't care much. Death was just a vague concept to them.
After a wave of charge, the argali knights wanted to distance themselves and rush again.
Then they found a problem.
The target of this group of crazy guys seemed to be wrong.
The ram knights set their sights on the guy with a flag in the middle of the sheep knights, and on the old one-eyed man.
The old one-eyed man frowned.
Are these ratmen in front of him coming for him?
His idea was not wrong.
The ram knights only received one order, which was to kill the old sheep man with the flag. For this reason, they even gave up the formation, just gathered together and rushed towards him.
Such a strategy caused heavy losses to the ram knights.
Because they were not defending at all, all they needed was a few more charges, and this group of rat knights would be completely dispersed, and would lose any ability to resist in front of the neatly-formed argali knights.
The premise is that this group of rat knights are still ready to bite the old one-eyed man tightly, and the premise is that the old one-eyed man really intends to abandon his own safety.
A very strange offensive strategy, of course, this is also effective.
The ram riders in front of the old one-eyed man were almost rushed away by this group of desperate guys.
A large number of rat knights crowded in front of the old one-eyed man and were blocked by his personal guards, but the pungent bloody smell and the noisy and sharp screams of the rats were clearly displayed in front of the old one-eyed man.
Among them, a guy holding a battle flag was the most desperate, waving his spear in his hand, and rushing towards the position of the old one-eyed man with the knights behind him like crazy.
And in that cruel battle, it was clear that a scimitar was about to cut across his neck, but his eyes were fixed on the old one-eyed man.
What kind of sight is that?
The old one-eyed man has never been stared at by such a hot and greedy sight.
He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
The old one-eyed man didn't dare to gamble his life on whether his guards could protect him.
He wanted to retreat as the flag was waving, but it was obvious that this group of crazy rat knights didn't intend to let him go and started a crazy attack.
He wanted to keep the old one-eyed man, but was stopped by the old one-eyed man's guards.
As the high priest of the argali tribe, the old one-eyed man's guards were naturally elite. Even if the rat knights who didn't care about their lives swarmed in, they couldn't do anything to this group of elite argali guards for a while.
Just when the old one-eyed man was about to successfully get out.
A silent knight moved.
They violently pushed away the crowded rat knights in front of them, and the silent knights began to accelerate in the chaotic battlefield in front of them.
And soon caught up with the old one-eyed man who was about to get out.
The arrival of the ferocious knights caught the old one-eyed man off guard.
He didn't expect that this group of knights could forcefully accelerate and charge in the chaos.
In fact, it is not a very difficult operation. As long as you do not pity your friendly forces and are prepared to trample on them during the charge, it is not difficult to do this.
Even though the guards around the old one-eyed man are the most powerful warriors in the argali tribe, they are not particularly different from ordinary sheep orc knights when facing this group of fully armed and heavily armored violent knights.
The weapons in their hands simply cannot break the defense of the violent knights.
But the violent knights can break through the line of the guards, especially when the argali knights are still retreating.
Completely unable to resist.
In just a collision, the violent knights tore through the defense line of the guards around the old one-eyed man, followed by the rat knights who began to rush in frantically.
In an instant, the old one-eyed man's situation became precarious.
In this situation, the other argali knights did not care about pulling away and charging, and began to rescue their high priest.
The battlefield suddenly became chaotic.
The side of the old one-eyed man became a battlefield, and both sides gathered here.
A serious clash of knights was rapidly turning into a brutal and chaotic close combat under the deliberate promotion of Rat War.
