Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 914: Sweeping the Edge
Suddenly, the rat slave soldiers who rushed in were burned madly by the raging flames. Their hair was instantly ignited and they let out shrill screams.

"Spearmen, line up and charge forward!"

Upon receiving the order, the spear formation that had been ready for action quickly moved forward and placed the spear tips outside the flames.

In order to make the fire burn more vigorously and last longer, Bai Tu did not just pile up wood and pour kerosene, he also laid a layer of coal underneath.

If those rat slave soldiers could break through this sea of ​​fire and fight their way in, they would be skinned alive if not killed.

Even many rat slave soldiers were burned to death inside.

After all, it wasn't just them who had been fighting all day.

The physical fitness of normal ratmen soldiers is not as good as that of ordinary human soldiers, and the physical fitness of ratmen slave soldiers is even worse.

At this moment, the physical strength of many rat slave soldiers has also reached its limit.

At this moment, the blazing sea of ​​fire continued to burn the influx of ratmen, while also illuminating the entire city gate passage, ensuring their vision at night to the greatest extent.

The spearmen in the formation quickly took their positions, and as soon as any ratmen jumped out from them, they would immediately charge and deal a fatal blow to the opponent!
In order to ensure that the fire would not go out, Bai Tu would naturally not forget to add more firewood.
However, the stockpiled wood in the southern fortress is relatively limited. Considering that it will definitely be indispensable in subsequent battles, we still have to save some when necessary.

In this way, after a round of burning with a fierce fire, Bai Tu's main focus was to maintain the fire and provide vision for his side.

The spearmen pushed forward further to increase the suppression on the ratmen.

At this point, many ratmen didn't even get out of the sea of ​​fire, but were stabbed to death in the sea of ​​fire by the spearmen.

The burning flames, combined with the sharp spears, the double attack cooperated with each other, while reducing the pressure on the defending troops, it also significantly improved their killing efficiency.

The situation at the city gate was quickly reported to Soros.

As early as in the previous actions, he had actually been able to see that Bai Tu was a general with brains and command capabilities.

But on the battlefield, experience is important, but more importantly, you have to have a big heart! Or in other words, a strong enough ability to withstand pressure.

If you can't stand the pressure and your mind goes blank on the battlefield, then no matter how smart you are, it's useless!

For now, Soros is quite satisfied with Bai Tu's performance.

After all, this is the first time we face the ratmen. It is already very good that we can hold on to this point in such a long confrontation with the ratmen.

"transmit signal."

Upon receiving the order, a specific horn sounded immediately from the top of the wall.

At the same time, outside the fortress, Tash heard the horn and immediately understood what was going on.

At that time, after Tash led the dragoons out of the fortress, he directly rushed through the rat tide and then left.

In the current situation, compared to returning to the city, they will be more flexible and can play a greater role if they stay outside the city.

The only problem is that there is no way to exchange effective intelligence with the large forces inside the fortress.

To this end, they had already determined some signals to convey some simple messages at times like this.

At this time, the meaning of this signal is to ask them to implement subsequent tactics according to the situation.

At the same time, it was also a disguised way of telling him that there was no problem with the fortress for the time being and that it could hold on.

As for the follow-up tactics, there are generally two options. Although Tash doesn't like to use his brain, he is well aware of the common tactics used when fighting against ratmen.

The first is to find the location of the ratmen's rear position, and then directly lead the cavalry troops to attack the ratmen's rear position.

The second is to rely on the mobility and flexibility of the dragoons to continuously reduce the strength of the rat tide on the periphery of the battlefield.

Of the two options, the former is riskier and the latter is safer.

After all, the ratmen are not stupid, and they won't let you find their rear positions so easily.

They usually look for sheltered areas to avoid the aerial vision of the pterosaur riders.

They will also set up fake positions to confuse you, or even simply hide underground.

During this process, if they realize that their position is exposed, they will choose to move immediately without hesitation.

Therefore, assaulting rear positions was fraught with uncertainty.

If you choose the former but still can't find the enemy's rear position, there will be an embarrassing situation where the troops in the fortress are fighting to the death while you are "walking back and forth" outside in a sweat.

After weighing the pros and cons, Tash chose the latter.

At the moment, the fortress can hold on anyway. In this situation, the only real opportunity is to seize the opportunity to reduce the ratman’s strength.

After determining the idea, the Raptor Cavalry, which had basically completed its rest, took action again.

Unlike the previous charge that directly penetrated the rat tide and divided the battlefield, the dragoons at this time changed direction after intervening on the battlefield and swept directly along the outermost edge of the rat tide.

While riding the velociraptor quickly, the weapon in his hand was harvesting the rat slave soldiers on the periphery like harvesting wheat.

Internally, they simply call this technique "edge sweep".

Although the Dragoons are cavalry, their main feature is their flexibility.

This flexibility allows them to move quickly in complex environments and adapt to complex terrain more easily. They can easily perform actions that ordinary cavalry cannot perform and go to places that they cannot go.

However, relatively speaking, when it comes to frontal charge capabilities, they can only be ranked in the lower middle position. Maintaining flexible mobility and conducting continuous sweeps along the edge are their comfort zone.

The reason why this wave dared to rush straight into the rat tide and complete the cutting was due to the blessing of their Majesty.

If they had not been given more blessings this year, allowing them to be further strengthened, they would not have dared to charge forward under the circumstances at that time.

At this moment, the Swift Dragon Cavalry's close-range sweep not only effectively reduced the strength of the opposing rat tide, but also attracted the hatred of many rat slave soldiers.

The scale of the rat tide meant that the ratmen's commanders could not control it as they pleased, not to mention that the rat tide was made up of low-level slaves who had not received any training at all.

As long as you can withstand the suppression of the rat tide, there is room for maneuver as long as you have the ability and dare to take risks.

Just like Tash and his men now, while completing a wave of sweeping along the edge, they also pulled away a wave of rat slaves.

For them who are on the edge of the rat tide, their actions at this moment are like dancing on the edge of a knife. If they are not careful, they will end up dead without a complete corpse!

I'm not trying to scare you. Those hungry rat slave soldiers will eat you till not even a bone is left!
