Chapter 108, The Shock and Oil Brought by the Flames
But even if they were restrained, it did not mean that the quality of the wild boar knights themselves was not good enough.
It was just that they could not predict the attack position of the ratmen. If they were scattered, they could go wherever there was a problem.
The scattered small knight troops could quickly reach the attacked city.
But they could not stop the ratmen from attacking the city. Even with their participation, the casualties of the ratmen army would increase greatly.
But the ratmen commander obviously did not care whether the ratmen had more or less casualties.
If they gathered into a large knight force, they could confront the ratmen army. Even if they were restrained, the hard power was there, that is, the ratmen army could not match the wild boar knights at all.
The cities in the forest were their primary targets, but the wild boar knights who gathered together might not have time to arrive before the city was destroyed.
This was a difficult problem to solve.
The cities built in the forest became a burden to the wild boars at this moment.
If only a few cities were built at key nodes to maintain the supply lines, the situation that the wild boars would face would not be so entangled at this time.
The mistake was that they had already begun to seek land and development before the war situation became clear.
Camps and small cities were built based on core cities, and the huge wild boar army was also divided into groups and scattered in core cities.
But now the wild boar knights stationed in a single city cannot face such a large number of ratmen.
But they cannot ignore the wild boar civilians in those small cities.
It is easy to transfer the army to join forces, but the transfer of wild boar warriors in each core city is equivalent to giving up more than ten times the wild boar civilians.
Who dares to make such a decisive decision?
Not to mention that the wild boar commanders in each core city dare not, even the core commander of this prosperous battlefield dare not.
The priests also turned a blind eye, because such a strategy was given according to the will of God. Now such a serious mistake has to abandon so many ordinary wild boars. Such a huge mistake, the priests will never take this responsibility.
God's decision cannot be wrong, it must be correct and wise.
For the time being, the wild boars have no way to gather the forces scattered in the lush forest, leaving only the wild boar warriors scattered in the core cities and the frustrated knights running wildly in the forest.
But there are smart people among the wild boar commanders.
Such a problem seems troublesome, but it is also easy to solve.
What if the attacked city can hold out for a little longer?
As long as the attacked city can hold out for a little longer, then it can wait for the support of the knights.
For this reason, a rather strange gully was dug out by this steady wild boar commander outside the city.
Yes, this city is where the rope seven tasted the taste of victory for the first time, the first city destroyed by the rope seven.
At that time, the city wall was only half built, and there were not so many wild boar warriors stationed in it.
Now the city has been built, the city defense crossbows have been set up, and a large number of wild boar warriors are stationed in it.
Of course, Sheng Qi is no longer the same as before. He now has a huge army under his command and is the commander of the ratman's Western Expeditionary Force.
It is also fate that Sheng Qi and the wild boar commander in this city have a fate.
When Sheng Qi was defeated by the wild boar cook in the camp, the commander who came to investigate was the commander who now presided over the city in front of him.
In the stalemate, that little bit of floating disappeared, and Sheng Qi turned around.
He reacted and realized what such a strange gully and tactics were for, and he didn't care about anything else.
The towering battle flag was raised by Sheng Qi, and loud and sharp shouts sounded, and the huge ratman army accelerated the pace of attack.
More rats were driving out of the underground tunnel and fell into the strange gully in front of them, layer by layer.
Crazy charge.
Gradually, even though they occupied the advantage of the terrain, the wild boar warriors in the gully gradually couldn't stand it.
Seeing this situation.
Under the waving flag, the boar knights in the gully quickly gave up their defense and began to retreat in an orderly manner.
Behind them, the black ratmen chased them relentlessly.
Until the black barrels were pushed to the front of the gully after all the boar warriors left the gully.
This scene made Sheng Qi feel a little uneasy.
Soon, this feeling came true.
When the black barrels were pushed into the gully, they collapsed and disintegrated under the impact, and the things inside also spilled out.
It was some black and sticky liquid.
A large number of rat warriors and young ratmen were stained with this black and sticky liquid.
The brief panic caused some commotion, but it seemed to have no other effect.
The rat tide was about to start surging again.
Until the feather arrow that ignited the flame crossed the sky.
The terrifying flames rose up suddenly and spread rapidly at an incredible speed, and a rising wall of fire appeared.
In an instant, the rat tide's charge paused, and the ratmen who were stained with the black sticky liquid were set on fire one by one. If they were stained with a lot of liquid and it covered their entire bodies, they would be swallowed up by the rising flames in an instant. But if they were stained with less liquid...
The fire would not take the life of the ratmen in such a short time. They fled frantically and rushed to their companions in panic, trying to extinguish the fire.
But how could the ignited black viscous liquid be extinguished so easily?
The wailing and chaos were spreading rapidly.
Whether it was the young ratmen, the ratmen warriors, or the senior ratmen warriors, they could only wail under the horrible fire.
The charge of the ratmen stopped. Facing this horrible scene, even the ratmen who were still behind them pushed forward without knowing it.
These unlucky guys who took the lead did not dare to move forward anyway.
In panic, they squeezed madly behind them.
Even the rope seven was stunned by this scene.
The expression on his face changed dramatically.
He was unbelievable about the sudden situation.
He did not understand what was going on, and what was the horrible flame?
Rope seven subconsciously sought answers from the old priest on the side.
But it was obvious that the old priest was also confused about this situation.
The old priest did not feel the power of magic on the ignited fire.
The two of them stared at each other.
If Du Yuan could see this scene, he would be able to easily recognize what the black liquid was.
Oil!
I was delayed by something today, and I will make up one chapter later. By the way, I will add another chapter tonight. Sorry! Sorry!
