Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 590 The Rat Troll Attacks

"Everyone, stay alert!"

Although he didn't know what the barrel was about, it was definitely not a good thing. Li Ce hurriedly warned him.

Accompanied by a whistling sound, the barrel hit their wall and broke into pieces with a 'clang'.

At that moment, several rat slave soldiers fell out of the barrel.

Many of the rat slave soldiers had their heads smashed and bleeding, and some even fell to death directly. Before the fight started, they had already paid the price of casualties due to this rough landing method.

But obviously, Talon and the others don't care about this issue at all.

At the same time, those rat slave soldiers also knew in their hearts that their only way to survive was to fight!

Ignoring the pain on their bodies, the moment the barrel broke, they almost madly pounced on the lizard soldier closest to them.

At the same time, more barrels were thrown against the wall by the rat troll with brute force!

Without exception, these wooden barrels were all filled with rat slave soldiers.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"

Although considering the possibility of ratmen climbing up the wall, they deployed spearmen and sword and shield soldiers on the wall in advance for defense.

But in the face of the rat slave soldiers falling from the sky, the rhythm of the lizard soldiers located in the wall area was disrupted for a time, causing the entire area to fall into chaos.

In the chaos, while Li Ce was giving frequent orders to direct the battle on the wall, he also pulled out the saber from his waist and chopped down two rat slave soldiers who tried to sneak attack him.

Although he now prefers to command from the rear, his bravery potential has reached three stars. In a real fight, this ordinary soldier is no match for him.

With Li Ce's intervention and the bravery of the Blue Lizard Sword and Shield soldiers to kill the enemy, the situation on the wall was quickly stabilized.

But what cannot be changed is that the rat trolls outside the wall are still throwing rat slave soldiers at their side of the wall. As long as they cannot cut off the source, they can only be passively attacked.

His eyes fell on the rat trolls in the distance. There were quite a few of them, at least forty or fifty.

In other words, in every round, at least forty or fifty wooden barrels containing rat slave soldiers hit their walls, causing chaos on their walls.

[Hell, how should I deal with this? 】

Facing this kind of enemy, Li Ce's first thought was the three-bow bed crossbow, but he quickly dismissed it.

Let’s not talk about the problem that if the three-bow bed crossbow is installed on the city wall, it will be impossible to aim downwards. Let’s just say that the size of the rat troll is better.

Compared with ordinary individual units, it is indeed quite huge, but as a target for the three-bow bed crossbow, it is a bit small.

No matter how skilled the crossbowman is, it is difficult to guarantee that he will hit, let alone that the opponent can move and move very quickly.

"Thoros, how did you deal with the rat trolls before?"

In fact, in the past wars between lizardmen and ratmen, few of them reached this level. Most of them were fought against rat tides.

However, they did not have no experience in dealing with rat trolls.

"We usually send giant lizards to deal with rat trolls."

Since returning to the Great Zhou Dynasty, monitor lizards have basically been used as an important 'transportation force' here. Compared with carriages, monitor lizards can perform transportation tasks in complex rainforest environments, which is a very big advantage. .

However, there are still a group of military monitor lizards left on the southern battlefield.

But if they want to send the giant lizard to attack, then they will have to face a situation where they have to give up defense and take the initiative to attack.

Look at the rat tide outside the wall. If he just sends out the giant lizards, there is a high probability that they will all be wiped out. Just as he was thinking this, Li Ce's pupils suddenly shrank as if he noticed something.

Outside the city wall, some of the rat trolls were actually carrying a log that they had thrown down on their shoulders, and they quickly approached the fortress gate.

Behind the gate, the blue lizard spearmen thrust out their crystal iron war spears through the window in the door, trying to force it back, but little did they know that the rat troll had no intention of actually charging forward.

After rushing to a certain distance, the rat troll suddenly exerted force, directly used the wood as a throwing weapon, and smashed it against the fortress gate.

At that moment, only a loud bang was heard, and the entire door shook, causing the hearts of the Blue Lizard Spearmen hiding behind the door to twitch.

And this is obviously just the beginning.

I saw those rat trolls standing under the city wall, constantly picking up the wood they smashed, and then smashed it towards the fortress gate.

Although the fortress gate was covered with a thick layer of iron, it could not withstand continuous heavy blows like this. After one round, the surface of the entire gate was obviously deformed.

Realizing that something was wrong if things continued like this, Li Ce quickly gave the order.

"Quick! Look for those rat trolls and pour hot oil!"

In the current situation, if you continue to throw wood, and if it is avoided, wouldn't it be giving equipment to the rat troll on the opposite side?

In comparison, hot oil does not have this concern.

The hot oil in the big pot on the wall has been burning all the time. Now that they received the order, the lizard soldiers moved quickly. After looking at the right position, they immediately poured several pots of hot oil towards the wall.

Although the Rat Troll was tall and muscular, it could not withstand the burning of the hot oil. Large areas of skin and flesh were burned beyond recognition in an instant. Some of the people who had the hot oil poured on their heads looked even more miserable and harsh. Screams echoed throughout the battlefield.

The more the rat troll screamed, the more hot oil poured on their wall.

This attack may not be fatal to the rat troll, but it is definitely extremely painful!

The severe pain made them completely lose their desire to continue attacking. They succumbed to the instinct of survival and turned around and ran wildly.

Seeing this situation in his eyes, Lizhao's expression didn't look good, but there was nothing he could do about it.

If the rat troll wants to threaten the opposite fortress gate, it cannot avoid entering the opponent's attack range. Opportunities and risks often coexist.

The withdrawal of the rat troll greatly reduced the intensity of the rat army's offensive. Sharp Claw lost interest in continuing the fight and directly issued a withdrawal order.

After confirming through the pterosaur rider that the rat army had really withdrawn, Li Ce quickly ordered to clear up the battlefield.

Important city defense resources had to be recovered. In addition, of course, he did not forget to quickly check the condition of the fortress gate.

The iron sheet on the surface has been obviously deformed. Judging from this situation, the wood underneath the iron sheet may have cracked.

"Go, call the construction team and ask them to reinforce this door."

While busy, the sky gradually darkened, but the highest level of vigilance was still maintained on the wall of the Lizardman Border Fortress, and there were pterosaur riders patrolling in the air.

At this moment, the pterosaur rider who was patrolling in the air seemed to have discovered something and hurriedly blew the alarm horn.

I saw that the rat army actually left and returned. After nightfall, a huge rat tide was once again organized and swept towards the border fortress.

After hearing the alarm, Li Ce quickly put on his armor and went into battle, frowning deeply.

[Something's wrong, the rat men suddenly left and came back. This kind of thing has never happened before. What is their purpose of doing this? 】

Almost at the same time that Li Ce was thinking this, in the corner of the fortress where the wood was piled, as pieces of wood fell, hands stretched out from it!
