Rushing out at the same time as Tietou, there were hundreds of rat warriors.

After more than two months of death trials, the outstanding ones selected from tens of millions of rat rebels naturally have their own ways of survival.

Some rat warriors are as fast as lightning. A few rabbits can swallow hundreds of arm's length away, and they use high-frequency and high-speed changes in direction within a small range to avoid dozens of arrow attacks.

Some rat warriors are as strong as iron heads. They hold huge wooden shields inlaid with several layers of bone fragments and carapace. The thickness of the shield exceeds the width of the hand, and it is densely packed with arrows. They can still carry it and hold it against themselves.

In front of me, my feet are running like flying.

There were also some rat warriors whose hands and feet were extremely long. They waved slings made of tanned tendons of wild beasts, and accurately threw the angular projectiles with extremely sharp edges onto the city wall.

Go into the crenel.

In the Age of Prosperity, there were two main methods for rat people to pick Datura fruits:

Or, just like the leaves, using their flexible hands and feet, they can climb directly onto the datura tree and harvest the fruits.

There are also some rat people who like to use slings to aim at the branches covered with datura fruits and shoot them accurately to shoot down the fruits.

The latter often mastered the skill of throwing stones with a hundred steps.

The range of a sling cannot be compared with that of a condescending crossbow.

But after crossing five trenches in a row, the distance between the rat warriors and Hundred Blades City was less than a hundred arms.

The sharp-eyed rat warriors could even see the panicked expressions of the jackals, tigers and leopards inside the crenellations on the city wall.

Aim at the eye sockets of jackals, tigers and leopards, and throw rocks like rain.

Regardless of whether it can hit the target, it can effectively suppress the shooting on the tower.

The rat warriors, who were charging at full speed, took the opportunity to rush to the foot of Hundred Blades City, leaving a blind spot for the archers on the city wall.

And he used the mandala tree trunks that had been temporarily cut down and roughly pruned in the past few days to knock over hundreds of horse barriers set up under the city wall.

Later, the rat warriors worked together to erect the trunk of the mandala tree high and put it on the city wall to serve as a simple ladder.

Such a ladder certainly has no stability at all.

But as high-level orcs, who have been tempered by blood and steel, the rat warriors who can rush here are not comparable to the ordinary soldiers on the cold weapon battlefield of ancient Earth.

Swish swish swish!

Their bodies are as light as apes, and they can climb quickly on the "ladder" that is almost parallel to the city wall and perpendicular to the ground.

Some people even shouted loudly, their legs suddenly swelled up, and they leaped high into the air. They were able to jump onto half of the tree trunk.

There are also some rat people from the territory of the Darkmoon Clan who have the talent of reptiles. They have extremely small scales growing on their palms and soles. Through the contraction of muscle fibers, they can make the scales stand up high, like tiny little ones.

The barbs firmly hook the seemingly smooth wall.

In this way, there is no need for a ladder at all. You can directly climb up the wall like a giant gecko.

Soon, the southern city wall of Hundred Blades City was densely covered with rat warriors showing off their abilities.

There were ten times more rat warriors, shouting war cries of "Rat God's blessing", following behind them like a blazing tide.

Of course the defenders on the city wall would not sit still and wait for death.

The city walls of Hundred Blades City were originally inlaid with a large number of sharp blades polished from metalized mandala branches.

Many sharp blades, in addition to containing rare metal elements, also contain trace amounts of crystals. The priests of the Golden Clan have engraved ancient runes on them, and implanted offensive runes with blessing audio.

.

When they sense that the life magnetic field of carbon-based creatures is approaching, they will automatically activate the offensive talisman array and release destructive powers such as frost, fire, thunder and lightning, and high-frequency oscillation.

This unique defense system is also the origin of the name "Hundred Blades City".

When a large number of rat warriors climbed onto the ladder and tried to rush to the tower.

The sharp blades like thorns all over the city wall suddenly glowed with extremely dangerous light.

Some of the sharp blades were ignited with blazing flames.

Some sharp blades emit ice mist that freezes instantly.

Dazzling arcs of electricity burst out from some of the sharp blades, and penetrated into the gaps between the shields and armors of the rat warriors like translucent poisonous snakes, directly electrocuting the rat warriors until their skin was charred and their flesh was rotten, their bones burst, and they screamed in agony.

Fell down the ladder.

There were even some sharp blades that rotated rapidly like the blades of a meat grinder, mincing half of the ladder and the seven or eight rat warriors clinging to it to pieces.

These sharp blades effectively delayed the rat warriors' climb.

But this is not, after all, the Hundred Blades City that had an impregnable defense system that could compete with the Red Gold City three thousand years ago.

Because of the insufficient number, there is a huge gap between the sharp blades. As long as you observe carefully, it is possible to find a route around the dangerous area.

And because the "curse of light" sealed the power of the totem deep in the ground, the rare metals and trace crystal elements contained in the regrown mandala branches were far from what they were three thousand years ago.

.

A sharp blade polished with such mandala branches cannot withstand the full force of the destructive power several times.

The result was that after several rounds of fire, frost, and lightning eruptions, when a large number of rat warriors were swept off the ladder, these sharp blades also lost their frightening luster, as well as being as solid as cutting iron, or seemed to have melted.

They drooped down like steel, or transformed into real branches, and were quickly burned into black charcoal bars.

"Blessed by the Rat God!"

"The Great Horned Rat God cast a curse and helped us destroy the defenses on the city wall!"

The rat warriors didn't understand the rationale.

But it didn't stop them from using the craziest ideas to come up with the most perfect explanation.

After leaving behind hundreds of fragmented corpses, they rushed forward again with great momentum.

This time, among the rat warriors who rushed forward, there was Iron Head wielding two giant axes.

As well as Meng Chao and Ice Storm who silently followed him and protected him.

In fact, Tietou was almost the first rat warrior to rush to Hundred Blades City.

But because he comes from the territory of the Bloodhoof clan, has the blood of wild elephants and bull heads, and has a huge body, he is not naturally good at climbing.

I tried several times but fell off the simple ladder.

Of course, Meng Chao and Ice Storm also made some small moves in secret.

The first battle is not that easy to fight.

Before the sharp blades on the city wall have reached their fatigue limit and have failed one after another, the first batch of rat warriors who try to climb the city wall must have a high probability of death or injury.

Even Meng Chao and Bing Fengfeng were not confident that they could ensure Tietou's safety despite the attack of Wanbian.

Besides, it is too exaggerated to say that the first person to climb the city wall can descend in one go. It will inevitably arouse the suspicion of experienced officers and priests.

Now, the city wall has been invaded by the frenzy of rat people, who have carved out several bloody paths.

With the rough skin and thick flesh of the iron head, and a little bit of "luck", it seems reasonable to achieve the goal of climbing first.

"Rat God help me, I am invulnerable!"

The simple-minded man did not understand that every time he came to a critical moment, when the sharp blade inserted in the city wall sprayed flames, frost and arc at him, his hands and feet would be inexplicably sore, his muscles would twitch, and he would fall off the ladder again and again. When he came down, even though he fell onto his back and was in a terrible state, he still narrowly escaped several fatal blows. What was going on?

He was so clueless that he didn't want to understand it at all.

Anyway, don’t ask, just ask and it will be a blessing from the horned rat god, and that will be it.

He just felt that his luck on this climb was particularly good.

Someone didn't know who knocked the simple ladder he was climbing halfway down, and it happened to be leaning crookedly on another ladder.

Around the two ladders, the originally shining sharp blades all drooped dimly, seemingly useless.

He accidentally hit it and opened up a green passage leading directly to the city wall!

And when he climbed up to the height of twenty or thirty arms in one breath, and was only half a step away from the crenellations on the city wall, several heads of jackals, tigers and leopards popped out from the crenels, holding giant metal claws with long poles. , tried to fork his ladder, and knocked him and the ladder to the ground.

But from behind him, several hurled stones flew from nowhere, accurately hitting the eye sockets, eyebrows, nasal cavities and Adam's apples of the jackals, tigers and leopards. They immediately knocked these defenders to the ground, and even fainted on the spot, turning over and falling directly from the crenel. , fell into the frenzy of the squirming rat people.

In front of Tietou, the door suddenly opened.

This reckless man, who thought he had been blessed by the Great Horned Rat God and thus invulnerable, roared wildly and jumped onto the wall of Hundred Blades City.

"Charge forward!"

"Someone rushed to the city wall!"

In a siege battle in the cold weapon era, whether the attacker can climb the tower and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders is of iconic significance.

Before the attackers even boarded the tower, the casualty exchange ratio between the two sides was very likely to reach ten to one.

The defenders could just sit back and wait for work on the tower, slowly using arrows, boiling oil and falling rocks to consume the attackers' numbers and morale.

However, once the two sides started a heart-wrenching battle on the city wall.

The casualty exchange ratio will change from ten to one to one to one at an alarming speed.

If we cannot immediately and resolutely drive away the attackers who have climbed onto the city wall and block the gap.

It is only a matter of time before the isolated defenders are exhausted by the attackers with dozens of times their numerical advantage.

For a moment, all the rat warriors seemed to hear the call of the Great Horned Rat God again.

The blood, which was already close to boiling, started to burn fiercely, injecting surging power into their muscle fibers.
Chapter completed!
