The old aristocrats of the rat people must pay attention to the aristocratic manner at all times, even on the battlefield, they must still pay attention to it.
The commander-in-chief is an old nobleman. He likes complex and exquisite patterns, bright gems, expensive wood, and enjoyment.
Even when he was away on an expedition, he never changed his true colors.
Others lived in tents, but he lived in a palace.
The main material of the palace is expensive wood. The best carvers of the rat people were invited to carve reliefs, and magicians and shamans were invited to draw specially beautified defensive runes.
The biggest feature of the palace is that it can be disassembled. Using the special technology of the rat people, it can be divided into several independent parts, which can be pulled around with only a beast cart.
After unfolding, the palace has an area of hundreds of square meters, five independent bedrooms, three halls, bathrooms, toilets, dining rooms, etc., and there is a lot of everything, and everything is expensive.
At the long table in the restaurant, the old commander-in-chief, several senior officers, and assistants were eating a sumptuous dinner.
A guard hurried in and whispered softly into the old commander's ear.
The old commander put down his knife and fork and listened carefully.
"Well, okay." After hearing this, the old commander smiled and nodded to the guard, indicating that he could go out.
The guard saluted and left in a hurry.
The senior officers and assistants put down their knives and forks one after another and looked at the old commander.
"Good news, the undead tribe has sent cavalry, and they seem to want to take advantage of the night to raid us." After saying this, the old commander shrugged, with an old naughty smile on his face, "But they underestimated our bravery.
Our warriors ambushed them, killed more than a thousand knights, and drove them away."
Everyone present laughed softly, this is indeed good news.
The old commander seemed to simply want to tell them the news. After speaking, he picked up the knife and fork on the table and continued eating without any intention of commenting.
His serious-looking assistant had a light flashing in his eyes.
I knew that the old commander would not be so simple and unprepared. He defeated the temptation of the undead without making a sound. He was indeed the old commander.
…
The failure of Skeleton Knight was a wake-up call for Li Ziyu.
He couldn't underestimate the rat people. They had developed in this world for who knows how long before they became a powerful clan.
The result of ignoring any enemy may be your own life.
The Ratmen are not that simple, they must be hiding something, and these things can affect the battlefield.
Just like today, Li Ziyu didn't understand why the Skeleton Knight failed to discover the ambushing rat man.
He has never seen anything like this.
The soul power of the Skeleton Knight is much more powerful than that of ordinary undead. Even they cannot detect it, so other undead cannot find it even more.
If the opponent uses this method to lurk around the legion and launch an attack, it will be a devastating blow.
Li Ziyu must find out what is going on.
If you don’t understand, just ask and check the forum!
There are many posts about ratmen in the forum, of all types, mostly battle report types.
Li Ziyu quickly read the post as if he were reading a novel. He even asked Liu Xingxing and Zhang Peng to help them search together.
I kept scrolling until late at night, when a battle report caught Li Ziyu's attention.
It was about a conflict between the time traveler lord and a tribe of rat men, which was a pretty normal battle report.
As for the strength of both sides, the strength of the time traveler lords is far greater than that of the rat tribe, and the time traveler warriors are more powerful.
Logically speaking, this is a battle without any suspense. The time traveler does not need to worry about anything at all. He can easily defeat the rat tribe by pushing all the way.
However, the fact is that the time traveler lost.
When he sent his troops to rush towards the rat tribe, he found that there were very few resisters.
Just when the time traveler thought that the rat men were letting the young rat men escape, a rat man warrior suddenly appeared from his side and behind.
Facing the sudden appearance of the rat men, the time traveler panicked and issued several wrong orders in succession, resulting in the failure of the battle.
The person who wrote this battle report obviously noticed the sudden appearance of the rat men. He added a paragraph at the end of the battle report. He went to check the information and then came back to supplement it.
[After careful searching, reviewing information, and even sneaking into the Ratman tribe to steal their books, I finally found out the clues. Among the Ratmen's innate abilities, in addition to being extremely immune to plague, viruses, poisons, etc.
In addition to being good at digging holes underground and building cities, they also have many special talents, such as ambush.】
[Ambush is a very special racial talent that allows the Skaven to hide around the enemy without being discovered, thereby delivering a fatal blow to the enemy at a critical moment. It is worth mentioning that the Skaven seem to rarely use this talent.
, they consciously make people forget this talent, these treacherous rat people have a very bad conscience.】
ambush……
Li Ziyu began to look for clues about the ambush, and indeed found some posts about the ambush, but they were all similar to the previous battle report posts.
It didn't say how to break the ambush, it just introduced the ambush.
This is a headache.
The ambush talent of the Skaven is quite difficult to solve. Even the undead cannot find them through the breath of life.
That's outrageous.
Unscientific.
But considering that this is a different world, there is no need to worry about whether it is scientific or not.
When used properly, the ambush skill is a magical skill.
But it seems that the Ratmen don't use ambush very often.
Otherwise, as mentioned in the post, the Rat Man is hiding this talent.
Otherwise, there are some restrictions on this skill, making it inconvenient to use it casually.
Li Ziyu prefers the latter.
Hiding talents and skills is somewhat unjustifiable.
After all, the skill of ambush is too powerful. If this skill could be used casually, what would the Ratmen have to fear? All the people would be assassins and that would be it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But the fact is that not all ratmen are assassins. They mainly rely on long-range firepower.
After Li Ziyu came to the central area, it was not that he had no conflicts with the rat people, but he had never seen the rat people use ambush skills.
From this, Li Ziyu felt that because the skill of ambush was very restrictive and difficult to use, the Ratmen rarely used this skill and could only develop other directions, such as long-range firepower.
It didn’t work before, but now?
When dealing with others, it doesn't matter whether Li Ziyu uses them or not, but when dealing with yourself, if the other party uses an ambush, you will definitely suffer a big loss.
What Li Ziyu wants to figure out most now is what kind of skill Ambush is.
Is it a magic skill?
Illusion?
Or something?
What conditions are needed to trigger the ambush effect?
Li Ziyu didn’t know any of this.
This battle doesn't seem to be that easy to fight.
Li Ziyu sighed in his heart.
"Boss, have you seen that post?" Zhang Peng came over and asked, slapping Haqie.
"Which post?" Li Ziyu came back from her thoughts and looked at Zhang Peng and asked.
"Oh, I found a post. It was a battle report. It said that the rat people have a talent called ambush, which can avoid detection." Zhang Peng said briefly.
"That's the post you're talking about. I saw it, and I'm still looking for information about ambush, but there isn't much information about the ambush skill in the forum." Li Ziyu rubbed her temples and said with a headache.
"Boss, this is what I think. Now that we know that the rat people have such a skill, it is enough. Their skill should not have much impact on us. We should not spend too much energy on this skill." Zhang Peng
said.
"Huh? Peng, I don't agree with what you said. Ambush is an extremely powerful skill, a skill that can change the situation of the battle. If the opponent hides a team, it is not a big problem for us, but if the opponent hides a cannon and throws rocks,
If a weapon like a car suddenly appears on the battlefield, we will suffer a big loss." Li Ziyu shook his head. He felt that Zhang Peng had been in contact with the battlefield too few times, otherwise he would not have said such a thing.
"No, I don't think so. Even if they hide the cannon, what can they do? How many of us can they kill?" Zhang Peng asked rhetorically.
Such a question made Li Ziyu stunned. He looked at Zhang Peng in confusion and said, "Go on."
"If our number is two, three, or even five times that of the rat men, the opponent's method of hiding weapons and troops will be very effective and can turn the tide of the war."
"But now, there are only five to six million rat-men on the opposite side, and we, the insect-men alone, have tens of millions. We are not three to five times the number of the other side, but dozens of times the number of the other side."
"Faced with absolute numerical superiority, what kind of weapons do they need to have to change the battlefield?"
"If the Skaven really had such weapons, why would they use an ambush to hide them? Wouldn't it be better to fight us head-on?"
Zhang Peng analyzed and said, then shrugged and said, "I think we thought wrongly. We don't need to think so much at all. We can just press forward and see how the rat people solve it."
"Damn it, Peng, you're right." The words woke up the dreamer, and Li Ziyu suddenly became enlightened and realized.
yes.
If the gap is not outrageous, using the ambush skill will indeed be effective.
But in the face of a dozens of times disparity in numbers, what can be changed by relying on ambush skills?
Even if you hide area-of-effect weapons such as cannons, as long as they are exposed, you can still send out highly mobile troops to destroy them.
He could fully bear the damage caused by those cannons.
For other races, due to morale reasons, once a range of destructive weapons such as cannons appear, killing a group of soldiers in a short period of time will make other people in the army fearful, thus lowering morale and leading to a rout.
But this trick is useless against the undead!
There is no such thing as morale for the undead. The only function of artillery against the undead is to kill casualties on a large scale. It is impossible for the undead to actively retreat and cause a rout.
Zhang Peng reminded Li Ziyu and asked him to get out of his thinking trap.
As long as he kills and injures a bunch of cannon fodder and lets the bugs rush forward, the battle will basically be over.
I am thinking nonsense here, what nonsense is this?
Of course, if the entire army presses forward, it will inevitably lead to a large loss of Insects, but Li Ziyu feels that instead of worrying about the ambush skills that he doesn't know how to solve, it is better to lose a group of Insects. At the worst, he can go to the grassland to purchase goods.
After thinking about this, Li Ziyu instantly felt relaxed.
I, the undead, am upright and relying on my solid numerical base, I will crush you without any tricks!
The war between the undead and the ratmen finally broke out. The two sides fought on the flat wasteland in the southwest of the city-state of Tucker.
The Ratmen will fight with 600,000 troops against tens of millions of undead.
This is destined to be an unfair battle.
The Skaven used their elite troops, possessing advanced weapons and various special arms.
At the front are the rare human shield types of ratmen, including the mutant giant rat corps, mechanical giant rat corps, etc.
Behind these human shields are many long-range units, such as elite gun-carrying ratmen, elite plague melters, plague rattooth bombers, etc.
More than 400,000 ratmen lined up in formation, ready to attack.
What they faced was boundless and endless undead souls that could be seen at a glance.
The formations of the rat men were all seen by the eyes of the dead in the sky.
"Ha, sure enough, they didn't put all the ratmen on the battlefield, they still used the ambush skill. Now, let's see if their ambush is effective!"
Li Ziyu looked at the number of rat men and felt keenly that the number of rat men waiting to fight the undead on the front battlefield was wrong.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Forward, attack!
The so-called vanguard is the cannon fodder unit.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tens of millions of soul-born bugs and armored bug-men are moving forward slowly.
As they felt the breath of life, these guys seemed to be stimulated and ran wildly towards the Rat Man position.
Through the eyes of the undead, Li Ziyu clearly saw that the undead army was like a stream, gradually expanding and covering the earth.
The rat people were not idle either. After the undead began to charge, various long-range attacks were launched at the same time, pouring firepower into the pile of undead.
No need to aim, no need to think about other things, just shoot with your eyes closed, don't miss the mark.
When the undead gather together, any one cannonball will blow up at least four or five pieces. The flames will burn and they will burn into pieces.
If the legions of other races encountered such a saturation attack from the Skaven long-range troops, without protection, they would be defeated in one wave.
It's a pity that the undead are different from other races. They don't care at all. They don't care whether there is defense or not. They don't care whether their companions are killed by the explosion. They don't even care whether they themselves will be blown away. In their eyes, they only see the breath of life in front of them.
The old commander remained calm and directed the rats to attack continuously.
The Rat Raiders and Melters formed a dense network of crossfire, and the undead at the front were constantly knocked down and crushed, unable to advance even an inch.
The undead kept piling up in front of them, and they piled up more and more. The dead undead piled up into a wall, and the undead behind jumped over the wall made of corpses and continued to charge.
Those who have never witnessed the charge of the undead will never be able to feel the fear firsthand.
The same goes for Ratmen.
They have experienced many battles and seen many battlefields, but they have never seen such a terrifying sight.
With the long-range firepower of the Skaven, they can be transformed into meat grinders.
This is also the reason why the Ratmen can dominate the central area. With such firepower coverage, they are fearless of other races.
But when they saw that the undead did not flinch and used their bodies to resist the attack, they could not help but feel fear in their hearts.
Can we defeat such an enemy?
Can 600,000 troops really kill the undead?
This is still a junior unit, and the main event of the undead has not yet come!
Fortunately, they are all elites trained by nobles, so they will not turn around and run away.
"Hold on!"
"Don't panic!"
"Don't let your emotions rule you!"
"Shoot, keep shooting!"
"There is nothing but a pile of corpses in front of you. They were already dead!"
The old commander-in-chief also had a serious face at this time and continued to encourage the troops.
Although the attack momentum is very strong, there will inevitably be some minor problems with the supply of ammunition, and when these minor problems occur, it is when the undead break through the blockade network.
After only a slight pause, the undead army crossed the blockade and continued to advance.
