The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 152 Battle Plan
"Armor pieces?"

After the Eagle Eye Brigade returned, Ickert heard such a report.

"Yes, Clan Chief, in the Gnoll's camp, we found that human craftsmen are building some huge armor pieces. There are four pieces in total. The thickness is greater than that found in the Iron Fist Tribe. We have now destroyed them."

Targaryen reported.

As for the method of destroying those armor pieces, it is natural to rely on the enemy's poor craftsmanship and the gravity of the armor pieces themselves to bend and smash them, and then deal with all the places that seem to be interfaces.

After listening to Targaryen's report, Ickert once again recalled what happened to the Iron Fist Horde.

Thinking of the armored figure again, Ickert felt a little headache.

According to Targaryen's description, the nail piece found this time is likely to reach 20mm.

It’s okay to only stack one or two layers of this kind of thing. With the penetration of the dimensional gun, it is still possible to penetrate this kind of armor with uneven quality at close range.

But once this kind of armor is stacked for more than three layers, and then put on a bulletproof shape with a certain arc, which is the ultimate stacked armor creation, it is really difficult for Ikert to deal with it.

Fortunately, the Hawkeye Guards managed to destroy part of the armor, which should have greatly weakened the combat capability of that thing.

"The handling of this thing is left to the cannon and the gun. We still focus on how to annihilate these jackals."

Ickert changed the subject, said to his Ratman, and unfolded the map marked with Windsor's defense facilities on the desktop.

"The war of annihilation must ensure a solid encirclement network. Combined with today's results, we have already made the Gnolls lose most of their engineering capabilities.

This is critical because then the gnolls won't be able to build more ladders when attacking.

Trenches can prevent enemies from moving in, and they can also prevent gnolls from escaping outward.

At this time, if a unit can detour outward and remove all their retreat routes, the success of the encirclement and annihilation battle can be ensured. "

Ickert's analysis caused his subordinates to nod repeatedly. As he said, the engineering capability of a unit determines its ability to break through the defense line.

As for the Gnolls whose artisans have been killed, their passage ability has been greatly restricted, and there is no guarantee for their retreat.

The key question now is to arrange the troops in all directions, and which troops should be assigned the roundabout task.

Eckert already had arrangements for this.

"According to the predetermined plan, the third and fourth brigades will withdraw after appropriate blocking, lead the enemy into the muddy farmland filled with river water, and then start blocking on the spot.

When the main force of the enemy army fell into the mud, the eagle-eyed guards and house rats who were in charge of the detour would attack from the rear, dismantle the ladders and wooden bridges, and collect the net.

The second battalion is still responsible for defending the river bank, and the first battalion is still the general reserve team, but you need to advance this time. In order to prevent the retreat from turning into a rout, you must ensure that you can support the frontal battlefield in time.

The general layout is like this, and you can ask any questions about this battle. "

Under normal circumstances, Shushu would definitely have no doubts, but the information obtained so far shows that the territory is likely to encounter a strong enemy.

"Clan Chief, I want to know how we will deal with that steel monster."

Targaryen asked, he is naturally the one who cares most about the armored gnolls here after he has experienced it.

It is impossible for Ickert not to take this unexpected factor into consideration.

But it will not substantially modify the combat plan for this, because it is not necessary.

Ickert gave a reply after a little thought.

"Quite simply, our front was unquestionably open and the artillery had ample time to fire before he approached.

And if that thing breaks through the line of defense, his target will definitely focus on the turret that threatens the most. I will personally lead the special attack team and the artillery team to meet it, and it will not affect the frontal battlefield. "

With his strength as the strongest fighting force in the territory, plus the Dimensional Lightning Cannon, Sasamaria Cannon, and a type of anti-transcendent spike blast, if he can't kill the so-called armored Transcendent with so much firepower, then Ickert doesn't have to think about expanding.

The gnolls are so powerful, they don't dare to fight outside if they don't honestly develop magic technology for decades!
However, Ickert is still very confident in solving the problem of armored fighters.

Targaryen now has no doubts, but the second brigade in charge of the flank battlefield has something to say.

"Clan Chief, your arrangement is indeed reasonable, but without the support of the partner guards, what should we do if the riverside defense line collapses?"

"This is indeed a problem, but unfortunately, our reserves are insufficient, but you are not without reinforcements."

It is also necessary to ensure two lines of defense at the same time, and there is not enough reserve force, the result will only be that both sides cannot defend.

Originally, Ickert could allocate the internal affairs rats to support the second brigade, but the Hawkeye brigade, which was in charge of detours, also needed enough rat power to close the encirclement net.

Therefore, the second brigade can rely mainly on itself.

However, Ickert still managed to mobilize some combat power for them as much as possible.

"Including a dark warrior and the cave monitor lizard, the entire female ratman brigade will form a female rat fighting team, responsible for supporting your defense line at any time."

"Female rats? A melee troop of female rats?"

The ratmen present all pricked up their ears. Apart from those mutants of the Mordel clan, this was the first time they had heard of the mother rat going to the battlefield.

However, it seems that there are also rumors of some ratmen using loyal female rats to fight.

"But the clan leader, with the temperament of our clan mother mouse, can he really undertake combat missions?"

Genil asked, he also has a private female mouse, and he knows exactly what the female mouse looks like.

After being strengthened by sissy potions, they all have strange powers, but their temperaments are relatively weak.

"You don't have to worry about this. Most of the female rats in our territory are transformed, and their ambitions are still there. Moreover, they used to be rats who dared to launch a rebellion."

Although the history is not very glorious, the modified female rats are still worth using, not to mention that they have no position to coexist with the jackals.

"Is there any problem? If not, we will disband."

"No problem, Clan Chief!"

All the rats replied, getting up and preparing to arrange their own tasks.

"Do it well. The territory expects every ratman to fulfill its responsibilities. The ratmen who have made outstanding achievements in this battle will also receive more training resources to support them."

As soon as these words came out, all the ratmen seemed to be able to see that after the victory of this battle, they would receive further rewards and gain power and strength.

Cultivation resources bring more than just strength. The clan head told them long ago that becoming a warrior can also increase their lifespan.

This is a great temptation for the rat people who don't live long.

And how to get resources?Obviously killing and robbing, how should resources be allocated?Only by relying on outstanding military exploits can one obtain the gift from the clan chief.

They are now a closely related community of interests. Ickert is not worried that the Ratmen will not work hard. As long as the situation does not collapse, morale is absolutely guaranteed.
