Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 944: Border Confrontation
The Lizardmen troops maintained their spear formation advance, during which the dragoons were divided into two, supporting on both wings of the battle formation, with green lizard short spearmen providing cover on the periphery. This was the most classic offensive tactic of the Lizardmen at this stage.

Under the premise of having ratmen as opponents, the early confrontations with the Claw Clan have been able to fully demonstrate the power of this set of tactics.

Now, after a round of fighting, the Lizardman troops led by Soros suddenly regained some of their previous feelings.

It's not just because of the implementation of this set of tactics, but also because the offensive of these ratmen in front of them has returned to their previous state.

That is a war of attrition!

When the main force takes the initiative to attack, as the attacking side, they will lose the home advantage and face more pressure.

In addition, the cost of maintaining a large army for a country will continue to increase.

Simply put, every day when a large army goes out to fight, even if there is no war, it is burning money, crazy money!
Knowing this, the ratmen turned around and slowed down the pace of the battle. Their purpose in engaging in a war of attrition with them was self-evident: they wanted to wear them down at this level.

Soros was well aware of the rat people's little tricks, but what he could not deny was that the rat people's situation meant that they were born to fight a war of attrition.

At this moment, facing the classic tactics of the Ratmen, he really had no way to deal with the opponent. He felt like he was being dragged into the opponent's rhythm.

In the following days, fighting between the two sides began to break out continuously around the border.

Although each time the Lizardman troops ended the battle by repelling the rat tide, they had no way of locking onto the location of the ratmen's underground nest at this stage, and the ratmen on the opposing side did not give them any chance to search.

As a result, their entire offensive at this stage lacks a clear target, and the large force is completely contained at the border, with no way of advancing smoothly.

The Lizardmen are very experienced in fighting against the ratmen.

They have all long been accustomed to this long-lasting war of attrition, and their mentality is basically stable.

But after several days of attrition warfare, their originally high morale inevitably began to wane.

Lizardmen and ratmen are races that all have night vision, so they basically fight regardless of day or night.

Under this premise, I don’t know if it’s because after several days of attrition war, the ratmen who contained the Lizardmen’s offensive gradually stabilized their position and built up their confidence in the battle, but recently they have really become increasingly rampant.

Compared with the Lizardmen, the Ratmen actually have a big advantage, which is that they have more troops.

As long as they wanted, they could arrange two waves of rats to launch attacks during the day and at night respectively, taking turns. In this way, the physical problems could be solved to a large extent.

And the Nezumi did just that.

After nightfall, a new wave of rats directly attacked the Lizardmen's positions.

At the moment, the Lizardman troops are on the front line, and there is basically only a simple camp for them to stay, and the camp itself cannot provide them with any defensive support.

Under this premise, it goes without saying how much pressure they have to bear under the attacks of the rat swarm day and night.

At the same time, in the night far away from the battlefield, a black figure was moving quickly at his swift and agile pace.

During this time, a ray of cold moonlight shone down, making its black fur emit a different color under the moonlight, and also revealing its appearance.

That was a black panther with a strong posture!

The black panther lowered its head, sniffing the ground and observing the surroundings. At this moment, a small noise came from a distance.

The sound was mixed in with the whistling night wind, almost elusive, but it could not escape its keen hearing.

At that moment, the black panther was like a phantom in the night. It leaped up the trunk of a big tree nearby and climbed up the tree nimbly. It stepped on the branches and gained a high view.

Black Panther, who has night vision, can still see clearly even in the darkness. With the help of his high altitude vision, he quickly found the source of the sound, which was a small group of ratmen.

It seems that these are the ratmen's spies scattered in this area.

At this moment, they were looking around cautiously. After making sure there was nothing unusual, one of the ratmen moved a bush nearby, then dug down a few more times, revealing a piece of wood hidden under the soil.

When the wooden board was lifted, a deep hole in the ground was suddenly exposed to the air!

Immediately afterwards, the ratman outside rushed in quickly.

The black panther hiding in the tree took in the entire scene, confirmed its position, and then quietly retreated.

It's a new day. On the border, the war between Lizardmen and Ratmen continues.

This area is full of ratmen's spies. Basically, as soon as the lizardmen here make a move, the ratmen's tide will immediately rush up, causing the entire situation to come to a stalemate.

While the two sides were continuing to fight, a loud "boom" suddenly came from the ratman territory in the distance.

The noise was so loud that the lizardmen on the border felt the ground beneath their feet shake.

No one knew what happened afterwards, but the ratmen on the opposite side were obviously thrown into disarray.

Thoros' eyes lit up when he saw this scene. He immediately said the mantra of "boosting morale" and shouted "For the Emperor!", which immediately boosted the gradually fading fighting spirit of the Lizardmen troops and made the Lizardmen's offensive momentum even stronger.

At the same time, the Xianzhen Camp entered the periphery of the battlefield.

The existence of the Xianzhen Camp has long been no secret on this battlefield.

They were not allowed to enter the battlefield purely because of the physical strength of the war horses. They were allowed to maintain their condition and wait for the opportunity.

And now, the time has come!

"The ambition to trap the enemy!"

"Death but no life!!!"

Amid the roar of war, the unstoppable cavalry cut into the rat tide directly from the flank.

Just like a meteorite impact, combined with the advancement of the Lizardman army, just one round of offensive was enough to defeat the large Ratman army deployed on the border!
The ratmen who had lost their will to fight were scattered in an instant. During this time, the large army led by Soros kept moving and advanced towards the direction where the loud noise came from in the distance.

What came into their sight next was a large area of ​​land that had obviously collapsed, and a large number of thick vines that had broken through the ground.

Between the soil, rocks and vines, one could clearly see a large number of ratmen trapped, their lives or deaths uncertain.

Needless to say, the area before our eyes that turned into ruins in a short period of time was precisely the underground nest of the ratmen on the front line!
