Chapter 40 Master Dan’s entry into battle
Outside the city of Cheveney, Herme's cavalry successfully broke into the rat men's shack.
The Ratmen were unprepared for the appearance of the cavalry. The sudden impact of the cavalry made them collapse without any resistance.
Because if you run too slowly, you will become a corpse or minced meat under the hooves of the horse.
Even if they dodged the galloping cavalry and the chariots to catch them, the rotating blades on the wheels were enough to cut each of the rat men in half.
This scene is a bit bloody, but the effect is really useful.
The cavalrymen all carried torches, which they threw directly into the shacks.
The shack filled with various flammable materials immediately burst into flames, and the flames continued to spread, creating more panic.
The cavalry and chariots quickly dispersed on the roads extending in all directions in the rat camp, in small groups, and even cavalry and chariots with only one or two riders were everywhere.
The rat people were frightened, because there were enemies everywhere, and many of them were confused and had no idea which direction the enemies were coming from.
However, these attackers are still too few compared to the total number of Skaven. When the Skaven army reacts, they will still have no choice but to perish.
But the chaos created by burning the shack is far from enough, not enough at all. Many times the Rat Man himself causes no less trouble than this.
Next, the rat man did react and started to counterattack under the command of the giant rat man.
Obviously, these giant ratmen are the command nodes of ratman society, and the army of ratmen is obviously indispensable for them.
Under the command and orders, the ratmen dragged the cavalry who had slowed down for various reasons from their horses and killed them. Several chariots were also overturned with the cooperation of the ratmen.
And if you encounter a giant rat-man, you will have to consider yourself unlucky if you encounter that thing.
These monsters are not afraid of the impact of cavalry, but fortunately there are not many of them at all, so they cannot cause too many casualties to humans.
Therefore, for the cavalry and chariots, the current scene can be said to be extremely exciting. The rat men are running around with their heads in front of them, but if they slow down, the rat men around them who they regard as beings waiting to die will
They swarmed and tore themselves into pieces.
However, Hemei had long thought of the problem of insufficient deterrence caused by the insufficient number of cavalry.
For this reason, he sent out those chariots. These chariots were not sent to kill rats, so there was no need for them.
On these carriages, there are large gift packages specially prepared by Hemei for the rat people.
"Put down the car door! Push down the powder keg!"
The driver of the carriage roared, and the few Cossacks on the carriage who were shooting arrows also quickly got busy. They lit the fuse on the gunpowder barrel, and then kicked the gunpowder barrel out.
"Boom!"
Then there was a shocking explosion, and the gunpowder barrel fell among the rats behind the chariot.
It often crushes to death several rats that have no time to escape, and then an explosion occurs, blowing the rats into the sky.
This explosion was like the beginning, and then the explosions sounded one after another, crackling like firecrackers being lit.
The impact this had on the Ratmen was terrifying. Since the chariots ran all over the camp, and some tanks even rushed into the main force of the Ratmen who were attacking the city, explosions were everywhere.
As the owner of Sazha Castle, the amount of gunpowder Heme had on hand was extremely terrifying.
On this side of the Blue Mountains, only his family could use gunpowder so boldly.
This scared the ratmen to the point where their guts burst, explosions were everywhere, and death was everywhere.
Although the rat people are familiar with gunpowder explosions, the sound is just the sound of gunpowder firing, which is incomparable to the gunpowder barrels here.
Rats are not very courageous to begin with. They are often very afraid of loud noises. It is obvious what impact a wave like this will have.
Many ratmen began to emit a hormone, which was emitted by ratmen when they were in extreme panic. These explosions naturally frightened them out of their wits.
Some ratmen began to flee the battlefield on their own. No matter how the giant ratmen screamed and threatened, they could not be brought back to the battlefield. It can be said that the true nature of the ratmen was completely revealed.
It wasn't until the giant ratmen began to tear apart the deserters crazily among the ratmen that the ratmen stopped escaping, but the situation was still precarious.
Just because the ratmen were frightened by those bloody killings, it does not mean that they have regained their fighting spirit. If something happens again, they may collapse again.
After completing all this, the cavalry and chariots also returned to the place where they started. This was the plan that had been laid out from the beginning, and the main force of Hemei was coming.
"One, three, five... Well, it's still within the acceptable range. The casualties are not very large."
Looking at the returning cavalry and chariots, Herme nodded with great satisfaction. The loss was less than ten, which was very good.
"The next step is to crush these rat men and blow the trumpet! Let the soldiers charge!"
When Viato, the attendant beside Herme, heard this order, he quickly put the horn to his mouth, and then played the horn with such force that his lungs were about to burst.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The melodious horn sound sounded again, issuing an unquestionable order to the people, ordering people to attack and completely eliminate these rats.
.
"Dandelion, if you don't want to die, just follow me! Stand right behind me!"
Under the horn, all the soldiers began to attack, including the manticore school's demon hunters and poetry masters.
"good!"
Dandelion continued, still wearing that naughty purple suit.
He even had a flamboyant red cloak, but after Ibn's persuasion, he still took it off. The cloak was too easy for the enemy to catch in the chaos of the war.
There was chain mail underneath this suit, and in his hand was a beautiful two-handed sword.
There was an imperceptible tremor in the master's tone, and his body was still trembling a little.
Although he usually wrote many poems about war, being on the battlefield for the first time made him very scared.
But he hid it well enough, at least no one could see it except the witcher.
This battle could only succeed but not fail, so Herme put all his troops on the battlefield, and all volunteers and military servants were ordered to take up arms and join the battle.
Therefore, our Master Dan stood in the battle line and joined the attack as a leading soldier.
However, he is still more special than other big-headed soldiers, because the others do not have a demon hunter to protect them.
In fact, if Dandelion went to find Herme, it would be very simple to stay out of the battle. As poets, they already have such privileges, let alone a master like Dandelion.
But Herme was "familiar" with Master Dan, but Master Dan didn't know him. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he wouldn't go to Herme just like that, so Dandelion still stood on the battlefield.
Moreover, our Master Dandelion has to maintain his own personality. If he is too timid to go to the battlefield, then he will go bankrupt after boasting so much to his comrades.
He boasted a lot in the army, and many of his volunteer comrades thought he was really a powerful warrior and worshiped him even more.
In addition, Dandelion wanted to help his friend Geralt from the bottom of his heart.
So although he was scared and frightened, he still stood here firmly to face those rat men with their teeth and claws snarling.
Dandelion blended into the charging crowd and moved forward with them.
He followed closely behind the demon hunter, surrounded by the heavily armed militiamen and Cossacks from Sazha Fort. As for the volunteers and equipment like him, there were all kinds of equipment.
Over the years, Dandelion has been able to solve many problems with Geralt, so it was definitely right to rely on the witcher.
Soon, the attacking infantrymen came in front of the rat men. The sound of war resounded throughout the world, and the humans mercilessly slashed their swords into the bodies of these monsters.
After that moment, the two parties mingled together.
Ratmen always keep their bodies low and their movements are flexible, so they can easily jump into the human battle line.
This is exactly the strategy of the Skaven. On the one hand, large troops are advancing, and on the other hand, small groups are also engaged in melee.
The rat men have sufficient troops, and the combination of these two moves can give humans a big blow.
This is a tactic they summed up when they raided various places in Ward. It is always useful when using this tactic to deal with those Cossacks who are difficult to organize.
However, now that the rat man is the one being attacked, the situation is completely different.
Ibn's powerful skills as a witcher were demonstrated as he wielded his silver scimitar like a flower.
Encountering Silver's blade, the rat men kept falling. Their skin was like butter under a butter knife in front of Silver.
He also used Iben's shield like a flower, constantly smashing the rat man's head.
Dandelion followed closely behind Iben, and he also slashed hard with his sword, but unfortunately most of them did not do anything to the rat men.
He spent a lot of effort to cut off the head of a rat-man, and just when he was happy, he was almost attacked by a rat-man, but it was Iben who killed the sneak-attacking rat.
Most of the time, Dandelion still relies on Iben to save the situation. He is like a burden to the demon hunter.
However, he still used the big sword quite a lot, but the sword soon broke into pieces while slashing at the rat men.
"Dandelion, where did you get that sword in your hand? This sword is too weak."
After using an Alder sign to knock away the rat men in front of him, a group of warriors wearing blue robes and holding maces rushed forward. They were Cliff's ascetics.
This allowed Ibn to catch his breath, and then he spat out Dandelion's sword.
Anyway, after just killing a few ratmen, the sword broke into pieces. This is too... what a bad sword.
"I bought this sword from a traveling merchant. The guy said it was the sword of a Nilfgaardian general. I checked it and found no problems at the time. I negotiated the price for a long time. Look.
To be continued...
