From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 107: The Frustrated Wild Boar Man

Soon, a fierce confrontation began in the deep ravine.

During these days, as the boarmen's city was captured, the ratmen did make some progress.

The young ratmen who survive the battle will naturally transform into qualified ratmen warriors.

And as the war continues, more and more veteran rat warriors will begin to appear among the rat warriors.

In addition, there are the metal spears and shields that are constantly obtained from the wild boar people.

A real army of ratmen is gradually taking shape.

It’s a pity that without the support of a military merit reward system, this ratman army can probably only go so far.

However, the improvement in combat effectiveness is not only reflected in the number of soldiers.

Relying on the equipment obtained from the wild boar people, the combat effectiveness of the ratman army is still increasing continuously.

As long as the ratman army can continue to win, there will be more and more ratman warriors who are constantly transforming and senior ratman warriors.

Of course, there are also metal spears, shields, and various pitchforks, hatchets, shovels, iron pots, crossbows and sickles.

Yes, with continuous victories, the style of the ratman army under Sheng Qi is becoming more and more strange.

Because the young rats who survived discovered a very real problem.

That is.

Anything he could pick up from the boarmen's camp would be more useful than the rotten wooden spear in his hand.

So, the young rats began to pick up garbage on the battlefield after the war.

Regardless of shields, spears, or armor, only ratmen warriors are qualified to get them.

Don’t think that Sheng Qi has already captured several cities with his army.

But these things are simply not enough for the huge rat army.

So the tools in the hands of the boar civilians, the crossbow arrows on the siege crossbow, kitchen utensils, and many other miscellaneous things were picked up by the young ratmen and used as weapons.

There were even many city defense crossbows placed on the city walls that were forcibly mounted on giant rats by some rat-man raiding knights.

But this is really unfair to these giant rats.

Although the name contains the word "giant", he is only about two or three meters in size, but he has to carry a machine that is even larger than his body.

The ratmen's troops became even more chaotic.

But the combat effectiveness has been significantly improved. No matter what, the iron fork is still more lethal than the rotten wooden spear.

If the opportunity is right, this pitchfork can easily kill a tall boar warrior with one strike.

It is really a powerful weapon.

As more and more ratmen fell, these ratmen wielding a variety of weapons rushed forward.

The boarmen warriors at the bottom of the ravine gradually became unable to resist.

They didn't try to hold on.

Instead, they began to retreat. Seeing the enemy retreat, the young rats cheered loudly and then chased after the boar warriors in front of them.

Then, there were the rolling logs and boulders that were pushed down. The young rats, who already had experience dealing with rolling logs and falling rocks, fled in a panic.

But there were still many young ratmen who failed to escape and were crushed into potato pancakes.

Followed by the young ratmen who followed.

The weapon in the dead ratman's hand found a new owner during the scramble, and more ratmen began to climb the vertical stairs in front of them like ants.

This staircase was roughly dug out of the ground. For the rats, it was even easier to climb than the rock wall.

Soon, some young ratmen climbed up, but they were greeted by the boarmen warriors who had been waiting for a long time.

A steady stream of young ratmen fell down screaming. And this was only one section of the stairs in the 20-meter ravine.

The 20-meter-long ravine was dug into four levels, divided into five-meter levels. Each section of the ravine was equivalent to a simple city wall.

If you want to rush across this ravine, it means that the ratmen will have to launch four consecutive non-stop sieges.

Even though the ravine certainly cannot be compared with a real city wall covered with defensive facilities, when you rush out of the ravine, isn’t it the city wall that you will face?

Moreover, the boarman commander was quite smart. He certainly knew that this ravine was just a means to block and delay the ratmen, so the boarman warriors would not actually fight a bloody battle with the ratmen in it.

When the situation in a ravine becomes irreversible, the boarmen warriors inside will decisively begin to retreat, and then quickly organize a defense line again in the previous ravine.

In this way, the battle line was continuously extended.

Of course, Sheng Qi could break through this ravine by digging a hole in the ground.

To put it bluntly, this is just a big pit roughly dug around the city.

It is far less difficult than those waterlogged underground tunnels.

But it takes time.

After all, the defending boarmen are not fools, and they certainly won't sit idly by and watch you dig in front of them.

It's hard to say whether the boarman commander expected this.

Obviously, it would be difficult for the city's defenders alone to deal with the huge ratman expeditionary force led by Sheng Qi.

The boarmen put too much of their strength into the boar rider.

But the embarrassing thing is that the ratmen traveling underground are not interested in the boar riders running on the surface.

If it were an army of ordinary races, facing this large and powerful group of boar knights.

Then the emotion that will probably accompany it is despair.

The huge number of knights will roam around the army like a pack of wolves, and small armies will be penetrated and destroyed by this knight force.

Although large armies have a certain ability to resist these knights.

But the constant harassment and intimidation will make most of the troops panic and uneasy. In this situation, you can't do anything.

Unless you send out an equally powerful cavalry unit to meet these boar riders.

But at this time, another very realistic problem arises again, that is, can you really defeat these elite knights who ride on ferocious wild boars, wear full body armor, and are armed to the teeth?
This was originally an unsolvable problem, as these boar knights were definitely qualified to dominate the world.

But the boar man’s first opponent happened to be the unconventional rat man.

The underground marching method not only makes the traces and attack routes of the rat army difficult to detect.

It also avoided a head-on confrontation with the boar knight troops in the wilderness.

Moreover, their priests who basically only know how to use the berserk spell are also good at restraining cavalry. Even if the boar knights can withstand the berserk spell, those ferocious wild boars cannot handle it.

If during a neat charge, the ferocious wild boar suddenly goes berserk and starts attacking indiscriminately.

This picture is not pretty.

There are also Skaven Raiders mixed in with the army who are good at sneak attacks and group fights.

Even though hard power still prevails.

But they can only go back and forth in the city to rescue those cities that have been attacked.

Even if we finally caught the rat army.

The large number of rat priests and rat raiding knights mixed in would also make the charge of the boar knights extremely uncomfortable.

But the boar people spent most of their wealth on building a knight army.

My face turned red and I felt inexplicably aggrieved.
