Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 912: A Hard Battle

"For the Emperor!!"

The four concise and powerful words were deafening! Even the Lizardmen troops on the wall could hear their battle cry!
During this period, facing this sudden situation, although Bai Tu was not mentally prepared, he reacted quickly. He immediately followed the battle cry and launched the "morale boosting" mantra, boosting the morale in one go.

"Spear formation, advance!!"

"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!"

With every war cry, the spearmen clenched their spears tightly and thrust hard again and again.

In an instant, the blood of the ratmen splattered in the city gate passage.

Compared with the almost open wall, the space at the city gate is limited. As long as the spearmen block the entrance with a spear formation, they can effectively curb the offensive of the ratmen to a large extent.

But this matter is obviously not that simple.

After a round of fighting on the battlefield, the scale of the rat tide outside the city did not decrease at all. Countless rat slave soldiers were still pouring into the battlefield, maintaining their insane rat tide offensive.

As the battle lasted longer, the soldiers in the city gate passage became more and more frightened.

After killing to this point, their hands holding the spears were almost sore, but the number of ratmen pouring into the city gate did not decrease at all, as if they were endless and could not be killed!
They knew that there were a lot of ratmen.

In fact, after arriving at the South Border Fortress, on the first day of their formal training, the fortress told them this information and emphasized that it was a lot!

But sometimes a concise and clear sentence always makes people unable to feel the heaviness in it, until this day comes, their personal experience makes them realize how heavy the original sentence was!

As the sun sets, the sky gradually darkens, and Soros, standing on the wall, frowns slightly.

"Something is wrong."

"What's wrong? What's wrong?!"

At this moment, Tash, who was fighting bloody battles on the wall as a sword and shield soldier, chopped down a ratman slave soldier who was climbing up with one sword, and quickly asked Thoros a question.

"This is the first big battle of the year, and it's not even winter yet. Don't you think the intensity of the ratmen's attack is a bit too high?"

Looking at the still dense tide of rats outside the city, Soros expressed his thoughts.

"This doesn't seem like a war of attrition, it's more like a strong offensive!"

After Soros said this, Tash immediately realized that something was wrong.

"You mean the ratmen on the other side want to fight us to the death?"

Tash, who said this, really couldn't understand it.

"After two years of fighting, when have they ever gained an advantage over us? Where does their confidence come from?"

Soros did not comment on this issue. If the other side really wants to attack, then they can only accept it.

"Compared to this, the enemy clearly has no intention of retreating. After dark, it may be difficult for Bai Tu's troops to defeat him."

In the past, when their Lizardman troops fought against the Ratmen, since both sides had night vision, it made little difference to them whether they fought during the day or at night.

But the situation is different now. The troops led by Bai Tu do not have night vision. Once night falls, their vision becomes poor and their combat capability will inevitably be affected!
At this moment, Tash quickly realized this problem.

Just as I was about to ask what to do, Soros' order came first.

"Immediately lead the velociraptors to charge out and suppress the rats outside. At the same time, test the reaction of the rats on the other side."

"Okay!" Tash, who had long wanted to go out and fight, immediately agreed without thinking when he received the order.

At the same time, in the city gate area...

"Close the city gate! Close the city gate quickly!!"

You fight from the time the sun is high in the sky to the time it sets. Let alone killing the enemies, you would be tired even if you just mowed the grass!
The soldiers were obviously unable to hold on any longer, especially the mental pressure, which made them feel extremely tortured.

Seeing that something was not right with the soldiers, Bai Tu acted decisively and quickly ordered the city gates to be closed.

The city gate fell with a dull sound, and the ratman who was stuck in the gap of the door was instantly smashed into meat paste, splashing blood.

The muffled sound made the soldiers inside the gate feel unprecedentedly at ease. The value of the city gate was fully demonstrated at this moment.

But at the same time, the rat slave soldiers, unwilling to be blocked outside the gate, began to attack the city gate frantically.

That sound made Bai Tu's heart tighten again.

"Quick! Clear out the remaining ratmen in the city gate passage, Team Two will take over! Don't let them destroy the city gate!!"

Bai Tu couldn't allow the rat slave soldiers outside to continue attacking their city gates so wantonly.

After receiving the order, the second team that had retreated to the back row to rest hurriedly followed, and with the help of the windows on the city gate, they assassinated as many ratmen as possible as they could, in order to ensure that their city gate would be damaged as little as possible.

Taking the physical strength of the soldiers into consideration, Bai Tu adopted a rotation strategy at the very beginning. A team of spearmen lined up at the entrance to meet the attack, while the other spearmen rested in the back to recover their strength. Then, through continuous rotation, they ensured their continued combat capability.

Otherwise, facing this kind of situation, even the strongest person wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

But even under this rotation strategy, the soldiers' condition became worse and worse.

This is not just a physical problem; tremendous mental pressure is the main reason.

Simply put, when the battle reached this point and faced with endless enemies, the soldiers' mentality began to explode.

During this period, as the commander of this army, Bai Tu's psychological pressure will only be greater.

This tough battle came so suddenly.

If it really doesn't work, he may have to mobilize the wood elf wizards led by John in advance.

Bai Tu originally wanted to hide this power as a trump card.

Just like the Xianzhen Camp has remained inactive until now, their purpose is actually the same.

I just want to reveal my trump card and decide the outcome in one battle, eliminating all suspense!
Although it hasn't reached that time yet, we can't keep holding this trump card forever, right?
Seeing that they can no longer hold on, they have to start over when the time comes.

Just as Bai Tu was thinking about this, a sound came from behind.

Bai Tu subconsciously turned his head and saw that at this moment, the swift cavalry led by Tash had already arrived near the city gate.

At this moment, there was no need for any nonsense, Bai Tu already knew why they were here.

At this critical moment with the enemy at the gates, it was impossible for them to come here for a walk.

"Team Two, exit the city gate passage and open the city gate!!"
