Chapter 538 Illness Comes Like a Mountain Down (350,000)
On the big screen, the picture transmitted by the drone gives an overview of the entire battlefield, with collisions everywhere like a science fiction blockbuster.
Later, when the real siege battle was staged, it became even more brutal. In the previous battles in the eastern theater, thermal weapons were never used, but were reserved for use at this time. The artillery fired in unison, and even the extremely thick walls of the Ratman City were still destroyed. The bomb exploded.
But none of this was as shocking as the attack of the four-legged dragon.
This snake-like lizard cut the city wall like cutting tofu. It made a huge gap with one huff, and another huge gap with another huff. In front of it, the wall of the rat city was no different from paper. In fact The effect of fortifications is indeed ineffective in the face of behemoths.
The city wall collapsed, and the rat men once again engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the troops in the eastern theater. This time, thousands of rat beasts galloped, knocking the armored vehicles off their feet and knocking them off their feet.
More than a hundred rat beasts came to besiege the four-legged dragon.
However, the four-legged dragon followed Shen Cong and learned exquisite combat skills. After realizing that hard resistance was not a good solution, he decisively started wandering tactics. Around the Ratman City, he ran from east to west, then from north to south, and encountered The rat beasts that come into the group will run away. If they encounter the lone rat beasts, they will bite or catch them to death.
There are four-legged dragons, the ultimate golden beast that affects balance, and dozens or twenty super iron men. Even if there are more than 100,000 rat men, they still can't compete.
Just as Shen Cong expected, the war would be won without him taking action.
The scales gradually tipped towards the eastern war zone. The buildings in Ratman City collapsed one after another, and the ground was exposed bit by bit to the field of vision thanks to the efforts of various war pets who subsequently arrived in the eastern war zone.
"The siege battle is coming to an end." Someone in Zhang Changde's armored vehicle exhaled a long breath, indicating that the intense work was finally coming to an end.
The person next to him echoed: "The difficulty is a little more difficult than last time, but it is within the tolerable range. Ratmen are stronger than beasts in that they can use tools, but their strength is limited..."
Han Shoucheng said solemnly: "Concentrate, before it is time to relax, monitor carefully to prevent the rat-men from counterattack. The number of dead rat-men is about one hundred thousand, and there are at least 60,000 more. Any negligence will be deadly!"
The words were not spoken yet.
A staff officer sitting in front of the monitor immediately screamed: "Chief! Something happened to the moat, and a large number of rat men crawled out of the moat!"
"Cut the screen over!"
The scene cut to Han Shoucheng's brows, because after he saw clearly the appearance of the rat-man in the picture, he realized that this was a species of rat-man that he had never seen before.
These rat men were covered in ulcers, their eyes had a sickly red light, they were foaming at the corners of their mouths, and they were defecating while running. They were about the same size as rat slaves, and they attacked the eastern theater team from behind.
"Chief, what are the arrangements?" the staff member asked.
Han Shoucheng made a prompt decision: "As expected, he had already paid attention to the problem of crossing the moat. According to the original plan, the first and second regiments continued to attack, and the mobile troops were carefully prepared. The third regiment withdrew from the siege sequence and went to the rear to block the moat. Onslaught of the Skaven."
This order came from the loudspeaker of the armored fighting vehicle and was notified to the ears of every combatant of the third regiment.
Soon, the combatants of the three regiments retreated from the city in an orderly manner, came to the original position of the city wall, and began to resist the moat ratmen. However, the long-range weapons had been exhausted, and now they could only fight in close combat.
"Damn, why does it stink so much?"
"These rats are so disgusting, they stink!"
"Are they pooping?"
"His whole body is oozing pus, how could there be such a rat man?"
When the combatants of the Third Regiment saw the Moat Rat Men, they immediately complained. These rat men looked disgusting and smelled extremely bad. Before they could rush over, the stench wiped out half of the combat effectiveness of the combatants of the Third Regiment.
soon.
Combat contact.
Unexpectedly, these disgusting rat men were even weaker than the rat slaves in combat. In front of the three regiments of warriors, they were not enough to look at. They cut one with one knife and picked one with one shot. Most of the disgusting rat men fell under the wall and became a puddle.
Disgusting rotten meat, a small number of ratmen rushed through the defense line and continued to rush towards the city.
Han Shoucheng issued the order again: "The second regiment changed their formation and wiped out the Moat Rats who rushed into the city!"
The soldiers of the second regiment immediately began to turn their guns and mop up the remaining disgusting rat-men. It only took a moment to kill all the tens of thousands of rat-men who rushed out of the moat without causing any losses in the eastern theater.
"These ratmen are too weak and have no lethality at all. Ratmen are ratmen, and they will be a bunch of garbage no matter how they change." The staff officer dismissed the "ambushes" rushing out of the moat.
However, Han Shoucheng frowned tightly, feeling that something was abnormal. The IQ of the rat people should not be so low. After all, they should at least arrange some rat beasts as ambushes. Instead, they used some disgusting rat men who were worse than rat slaves.
Ambush, this is basically no different from tickling.
…
Under the water of Taihu Lake, Shen Cong in the King Kong Fortress also frowned.
He also noticed that these disgusting rat-men had pitifully weak combat capabilities, and they only delayed the offensive in the eastern theater for three to five minutes, which had almost no effect on the battlefield.
"Given the performance of the Rat King, it shouldn't be so simple." Shen Cong has never met the Rat King, but based on the series of actions of the Rat Man, it can be seen that the Rat King definitely has an IQ no less than that of an ordinary person.
Building a city, organizing an army, crafting equipment, digging a moat, and even enslaving human survivors all require a high IQ as a basis.
Doubtful.
Shen Cong could only guess this - no matter how much mice evolved, they would never become humans. He just learned some tactics from humans and thought he could sit back and relax.
But soon, this speculation was denied by reality.
Because in the picture, the soldiers in the eastern theater who had just killed the Moat Rats suddenly bent over and vomited one after another. Some even fell directly to the ground, convulsing all over. More and more soldiers seemed to be infected with a severe disease in an instant.
The disaster catches people off guard.
"Is this an infectious disease?"
Shen Cong raised his eyebrows, suddenly understanding the role of the moat.
This moat is not to ambush the soldiers, but to send these sick ratmen to the troops in the eastern theater so that the soldiers in the eastern theater can be infected with the virus.
Shen Cong doesn't know if there are any viruses in the new world. Anyway, he has never gotten sick since he started evolving. He has never seen evolved people get sick, but ordinary people occasionally have headaches and brain fever, and there are also sick people.
.
But now, there is an infectious disease, and the evolvers are beginning to get infected.
This is extraordinary.
After a while, more and more evolved people fell to the ground on the battlefield.
It seemed that Han Shoucheng gave the order to retreat. The uninfected evolvers quickly carried the infected patients into armored vehicles and prepared to retreat first. At this time, Shen Cong discovered that basically all the weak evolvers were infected.
Powerful evolvers are rarely infected.
No cases of Iron Man being infected have been found.
However, relying on iron men alone was of no avail on the battlefield. They were defeated one after another. The rat men who had retreated to underground holes emerged in large numbers and began to hunt down the soldiers in the eastern theater.
The four-legged dragon was also besieged by the rat beasts.
An infectious disease instantly reversed the Rat Men's disadvantage. What made Shen Cong frown even more was that when the Eastern Theater Command troop convoy retreated to the moat, hundreds more Rat Generals rode out rat beasts and rushed out of the moat. The troops who intercepted the eastern theater began to fight without fear of death.
In the blink of an eye, the eastern theater, which was under heavy offensive, was about to collapse.
At this time, in the center of the rat-man city, the earth suddenly shook, the soil flew up, and a rat beast about the size of a four-legged dragon emerged from the ground. On top of the rat beast's head, stood a man wearing a The big rat in animal skin armor is about four meters tall and holds a gorgeous gold-core sword in his hand.
Obviously, this big rat is Shen Congyuan's sidekick Rat King.
"Um?"
Shen Cong let the drone's picture freeze on the head of the giant rat beast, adjusted the focus, and his face suddenly turned livid: "There is a... woman standing next to the rat king?"
It was indeed a woman, a female human, dressed in gorgeous animal skins.
There was no sign of being coerced. Instead, she had a condescending and contemptuous attitude towards the entire battlefield. The woman turned her head, looked at the drone hovering in the sky, snuggled into the Mouse King's arms, slowly stretched out her left hand, and raised a Root middle finger.
In the enlarged picture, Shen Cong seemed to be able to see a sinister smile on the corner of this woman's mouth.
The four canine teeth flashed with silver light, and everything seemed strange.
