Chapter 290, Breaking through the blockade
The noble coalition troops that rushed forward still maintained a certain order and pressed forward in an orderly manner.
The forward troops of the Eastern Expeditionary Force performed very tenaciously. This time there was no supervising team to press from the rear, but these guys performed particularly hard.
But after all, there was some inability to follow up. The rat people are not a group of guys who are good at individual quality.
In the brutal fighting, defeat was inevitable. On the battlefield, the situation at this time seemed a bit chaotic, especially for the Eastern Expeditionary Force. After many mobilizations, positions and tunnels were abandoned during these repeated mobilizations. .
Crowded into a group, a huge group of rat men, crowded next to each other, with panic on their faces, all kinds of shouts, grinding teeth, whispers, all kinds of messy sounds, these sounds are harsh and It shows the emotions of most rat people at this time, uneasiness.
The two troops, one behind the other, were quickly tearing apart the Eastern Expeditionary Force's front line, like two hot knives cutting butter.
There are a large number of rat warriors who managed to survive on this cruel battlefield, a large number of young rat men who have just arrived on this battlefield, or those old fritters mixed in the army.
A lot of people are dying at this moment.
Rat Zhan didn't pay attention to the bad situation on the battlefield at this time.
Instead, he set his sights on the advancing noble coalition. The commander of the noble coalition was indeed stable. Even though the situation at this time was so bad for Rat War, and it was obviously time to beat up the weak dog, it was still like that. of caution.
The elemental annihilation cannons have begun to fall. There are too many ratmen here. The gray and black colors are almost completely filling everything in sight. The turbulence of elemental disturbances that burst out with the falling of the cannons is like an eraser, smearing out Empty windows.
Stability is a very good advantage, but sometimes it's not up to you whether you can continue to be stable, especially on such a chaotic battlefield.
Rat Zhan's personal guard has separated into a team, and this team trained by Rat Zhan from the Rat Man Supervisory Team will declare its existence on the battlefield for the first time.
Although my aunt already had certain expectations for their performance before they even appeared on the stage.
The guards of the Rat War are roughly similar to a group of guys in terms of standards, armor, and various weapons and equipment.
Dire Knights, you can think of Rat War's bodyguards as a group of dismounted Dire Knights.
However, there is still a gap between the two. The ferocious knights who ride the ferocious giant rats pay more attention to riding skills. Although their tactics have always been summarized in a few simple sentences, charge and then kill. Enemies or be killed by enemies.
When riding the ferocious giant rat, the ferocious knight had the absolute upper hand, but when the battlefield was moved to the flat ground, the rat war's personal guards were even better.
For a simple reason, in order to maintain physical strength during a long-term attack, especially when they are still wearing heavy full-body armor, more blood mushrooms will be given priority to the hands of these personal guards.
These guys are the few heavy armored infantry in the short history of the Skaven Empire.
Now on the battlefield, these guys are beginning to show their prowess.
Mixing in with the ordinary ratmen, following the dark tide, he got closer to his target.
On the battlefield, when the noble coalition forces gradually accelerated and slammed into those guys in the Eastern Expeditionary Force who had gathered together in fear.
In that one-sided massacre, the morale of the rat warriors dropped rapidly, until a team suddenly appeared.
These rat men wearing dark armor pushed towards the noble coalition forces without any scruples. In the fierce battle, these guys withstood the charge of the noble coalition forces.
It's like a rock resisting the waves, but it's usually the rat people who act as the waves, but this time it's the other way around.
These personal guards turned into rocks, fighting against the noble coalition that kept appearing in front of them from far away.
The morale of the Eastern Expeditionary Force was temporarily stabilized.
After taking a breath, amidst the bloody smell on the battlefield, the rat priests who were integrated into the rat army were of great help at this moment. They were indeed a good hand in boosting morale.
Amid the rat men's frenzied counterattack, the battlefield seemed to turn into a cruel meat grinder.
In such a turmoil, even though the commander of the noble coalition was still issuing a steady stream of orders to consolidate this line of defense, everything was still quickly falling into chaos.
Small holes appeared on the defense line organized by the noble coalition.
It was about to mature, that opportunity, that opportunity to cross the human defense line and break into the human hinterland.
But before that, Rat War had to deal with a small problem.
A challenger appeared, broke through the chaotic battlefield, and stood in front of Rat Zhan. The bright armor was carefully carved and hidden in the corners, a luxurious and low-key display.
Of course, these are not the most conspicuous things. Those eyes, full of fighting spirit and bright eyes, are the most conspicuous ones.
He challenged Rat Zhan, and Rat Zhan accepted the challenge.
He took off the scarlet spear on his back with a grin. Perhaps he could finish it all more honorably by killing a human leader.
The two sides collided with each other on this chaotic battlefield. At the moment of the fight, the knight felt something was wrong. The power of the rat battle overwhelmed him. It was not to the extent that he could not resist, but it made him feel... Suddenly it fell down.
That prince, who was also the most dazzling knight.
He came to Shu Zhan in such a radical way, as if he wanted to have a general-to-general and king-to-king battle.
But how should I put it, the result was not good. At the beginning of the battle, he was suppressed by Shu Zhan in terms of strength.
He clamped his legs together, and the warhorse he sat on raised his voice high in the sound of hissing. The spear that Shu Zhan pressed down was lifted up high, and he jumped back and pulled out a safe enough distance.
Both sides stopped their actions at this moment and looked at each other.
Shu Zhan's expression was hideous and terrifying, but the prince's face was completely covered by the mask and could not be seen clearly.
The stagnation of the battle lasted only a moment, and the two sides started fighting again.
In the mutual contact, the warhorse ridden by the prince gave him great convenience.
Whether moving forward or backward, relying on the mobility of the warhorse to barely fight with Shu Zhan, it was obvious that he underestimated the danger of Shu Zhan.
Although this situation is not surprising, many of Shu Zhan's opponents have looked down on him, thinking that as long as they get close to him, everything will be fine. They think that as long as the distance between the two sides is close enough, they can easily kill Shu Zhan.
It's not surprising. The ratman taken out alone is indeed so weak that it is really difficult for people to take him seriously.
But how to say it, the guys who look down on him are usually killed by him.
Shu Zhan took the initiative to start the charge. With one step forward, this ugly hairless guy appeared in front of the human prince. As usual, he waved the weapon in his hand and rushed towards Shu Zhan.
Being easily blocked by Shu Zhan, things did not end so easily. The warhorse of the human prince let out a wail. Shu Zhan has never been able to hold the weapon with only one hand.
The black flag was used as a spear. It was sent out by Shu Zhan without any warning and pierced into the abdomen of the tall warhorse in front of him from a tricky angle. It was just a slight stir, and the painful neighing appeared on the battlefield at this time. The warhorse began to struggle before death. Shu Zhan cleverly avoided the attack of the crazy warhorse and left in the sharp and twisted laughter.
But the prince was not so lucky. When the warhorse under his crotch rioted, he wanted to appease it at the first time, but at this time, there was no big difference between appeasement and non-appeasement.
He was thrown off the warhorse heavily, in a mess. Beside him, with a sharp neigh, the warhorse fell to the ground and died.
Obviously, it is not that easy to train a qualified knight. Whether it is training, learning, or cultivating tacit understanding and feelings with your partners for a long time, these all require a lot of mental and physical investment.
But now, this long-term tacit understanding, partners, and more messy things, the warhorse was simply stabbed to death by Shu Zhan with a flag.
Shu Zhan didn't think there was anything wrong. He not only wanted to kill the horse, but also wanted to kill the guy who dared to stand in front of him and challenge him.
In a ferocious and dangerous laugh.
Shu Zhan pressed forward, almost unable to resist, in all aspects. After obtaining the blessing of killing, except that he still had little magic ability, Shu Zhan became stronger in all aspects.
During the battle, a little scarlet appeared on Shu Zhan's body.
Constantly attacking, almost suppressing the prince.
Yes, this prince is also a hero, but there is also a gap between heroes.
Shu Zhan can easily suppress the prince, but he can't kill him at once. As a prince of the Youyan human race, obviously, he is proficient in various spells.
He chose a spell that best fits the situation at this time.
The dazzling light completely illuminated this small area in almost an instant. Facing such bright and dazzling light, Shu Zhan subconsciously closed his eyes. Although he soon forced himself to open his eyes again, he still gave the prince of the Ghost Eyes a chance to catch his breath.
The panting Prince of the Ghost Eyes once again distanced himself, looking embarrassed, and was now panting heavily on his knees.
In the uninterrupted fight just now, he almost let the sword in his hand slip out of his hand.
There was a bit of anger on Shu Zhan's face, especially when he saw the prince of the Ghost Eyes not far away.
His eyes were a little redder in this dazzling light.
When Shu Zhan looked at him, the prince of the Ghost Eyes also held the sword in his hand again and took a stance.
A guy who overestimated his own abilities.
Shu Zhan didn't look at this guy again. A large group of royal knights broke through the chaos behind and gathered around the prince of the Ghost Eyes.
He didn't really want to fight with the noble coalition and the knights in front of him. Although he wanted to kill them all, the most important thing now was not this.
In the fearless attack of the Rat War Guards and the counterattack of the rat army, the tight noble coalition was torn into two parts. Now was the best opportunity.
Compared with what he was going to do, the urge to kill this unknown guy had to be put aside.
The blood-stained black flag began to wave again. Rat War led his guards to plunge into the gray-black rat tide behind him, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
Rat Zhan led the team himself, and the black flag appeared on the front line again. As the flag waved, Rat Zhan began to shout loudly, commanding the army that was so huge.
Countless rats began to charge as Rat Zhan's flag waved.
This was a right that belonged exclusively to the commander-in-chief, and also to Rat Zhan.
In the sharp shouts, the rats surged forward, and the royal knights who were still abusing in the back were not taken seriously by Rat Zhan at all. The death of the overly large army could not cause any waves.
Along the crack, the rats rushed in frantically, and they could not be stopped at all. The commander of the noble coalition finally understood what Rat Zhan wanted to do, but it was a little too late to understand it now.
The terrifying elemental chaos cannons kept falling, falling towards the leader, the extremely conspicuous Rat Zhan who was carrying a flag, but the effect was only better than nothing. They were all blocked by the black flag. The moment they fell, they were like firecrackers with the fuse cut off, and they were directly silenced.
Rat Zhan was laughing crazily and running wildly. Obviously, he made the right bet this time, and no one could stop him now.
Instead of fighting with these human armies here and guarding against the attacks of the barbarians on the plateau at all times, Rat Zhan has always been more fond of torturing the hinterland of the Youyan human race and lighting up the villages, towns and cities.
No one can stop him now.
The artillery fire was still falling, and the ratmen beside Rat Zhan suffered, but Rat Zhan didn't care, even though there was probably only one group that could gather around him at this time.
His personal guards.
But even so, what did it matter? The running Rat Zhan didn't care about the little casualties at all.
It's not that there is no way to survive. For example, if you get closer to Shu Zhan, you can be included in the protection of the black flag.
In the rounds of bombardment, only the guards surrounding Shu Zhan escaped.
But it's a bit strange, why among the guards closest to Shu Zhan, a stupid guy showed a little white hair.
A stupid guy with white hair, a pretty strange guy.
Shu Zhan led the guards and a large number of ratmen to break through the blockade and leave. The price he paid was heavy. He only took one-third of the Eastern Expeditionary Force. The remaining two-thirds of the ratmen warriors were just like consumables, and were abandoned on this chaotic battlefield without any nostalgia or hesitation.
