Throne of Vientiane Civilization

The outer wall of the city wall is not smooth, but the rat men's hands and feet have small, hard hook-shaped claws. Even if there are only some uneven folds on the outer wall, they can use their claws to hook them. These pleats climb up quickly.

After noticing this scene, the expression of the lizardman general who was responsible for commanding the defense on the wall changed slightly, but he did not lose his position due to this.

"Are things ready?!"

At this moment, there were large pots burning on the wall. The contents in the pots were already burning hot and smoking due to the firewood below.

"Report to Warrant Officer, ready!"

"Quick, pour it down!"

Following the slightly hasty order, the lizard soldiers on the wall worked together to hold the wooden handle, lifted the large pot, and poured the hot liquid in the pot toward the wall.

In an instant, along with the scalp-numbing 'hissing' sound, shrill screams resounded throughout the battlefield.

The area where the rat men were poured was instantly changed beyond recognition, and then they fell straight from the outer wall.

It’s not unusual for rats to be able to climb walls, so it’s expected that rat people must have good climbing abilities as well.

Zhou Xu, who had thought of this in advance, prepared wood for the border fortress in the south, and also prepared oil for various possible situations in the defensive battle!

After it is heated, it falls directly from the wall. While repelling the invasion of the rat men, the oil and water will still hang on the outer wall.

In this way, no matter how good the rat man's little claws are, he will not be able to climb up the oil-stained outer wall in a short time.

After successfully making the outer wall oily, they temporarily stopped pouring oil.

In this era, the main way to obtain oil is through animal fat. The amount is relatively small. If it is only used for cooking, the daily consumption is not large, and the supply is naturally more than enough.

But now it is used for city defense, and pot after pot is poured continuously. Over time, the loss will definitely be unbearable.

Taking this into consideration, this oil should be used sparingly.

Facing the defensive measures of the border fortress, nearly half of the rat tide sent out before has now been lost. Normally, if the rat men continue to attack, they should send more troops.

With this thought in mind, Jikumu glanced at Talon in the rear position, obviously thinking about what their clan leader planned to do.

Just as he was thinking this, Talon gave the order.

"withdraw troops!"

[Hmph, it doesn’t look like that’s stupid. 】

At present, the lizard people have developed new methods. It may not be a good thing to continue the attack. It would be wiser to withdraw the troops first and conduct internal discussions.

After receiving the withdrawal signal, the remaining rat slave soldiers began to retreat sporadically, and soon left the lizard people's border.

Looking at the leaving rat tide, Li Ce, who was inside the border fortress, had no intention of sending troops to pursue them.

He is not stupid. There is a high probability that this wave was caused by the Ratmen who saw that their border fortress was difficult to attack, so they retreated temporarily to discuss countermeasures.

At this point in time, the Rat Man still had enough troops. If he sent out troops to pursue them, and the other side sent more troops backhand, they would be put in danger.

Now they have just withdrawn from the outside, and the soldiers' physical strength is seriously exhausted. At this juncture, they can just rely on the walls of the border fortress and fight a defensive battle. There is no need to go out and take such risks.

After retreating, the ratmen and lizardmen set a safe distance away from the border, and then set up a frontline camp.

In the camp, Talon, as the clan leader, summoned all the generals under his command to discuss countermeasures.

However, a group of rat men gathered together and quarreled for a long time, but they couldn't come up with any results.

After all, judging from the offensive performance of the Rat Tide at that time, they really felt like they were helpless against it.

During this period, while sitting on the main seat, looking at the noisy subordinates, Li Zhao's face became increasingly ugly.

At this moment, a rat man general made a suggestion.

"Why don't we simply bypass that thing and directly attack the lair of those stinky lizards!"

Hearing these words, many of the Ratmen generals, including Sharp Claw, their eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jikumu's salty and salty voice rang out...

"If we go around it, what about the follow-up logistics resources?"

"..."

"In order for resources to be delivered to us, they must pass through that camp. Are you sure that the resources can be safely delivered to us by then? The other side can easily cut off our supply line."

"..."

"Even if we don't talk about the transportation of resources, let's talk about our large army. What if the lizard people here turn around and attack us from behind? The other side will definitely do this. When the time comes, we must not be attacked from behind. A flanking attack?"

"..."

Jikumu's understatement made all the rat generals speechless.

Lizhao, who was sitting on the main seat, looked uncertain for a while, and then his eyes fell on Jikumu.

"Then come up with a solution!"

Hearing this, Jicumu fell into silence.

This period of time was not short. Several of the rat men below couldn't help but wanted to yell out, but they were glared at by Sharp Claw.

This state lasted for more than ten minutes before Jikumu slowly spoke.

"Maybe we can launch an offensive from multiple directions, plus enough troops..."

Talon was not an idiot. As soon as Jikum opened his mouth, he reacted quickly.

During this period, Jicumu ignored him and continued to talk on his own.

"We have more troops. We can directly surround their camp, and then launch attacks from all directions at the same time. As long as the lizardmen on the opposite side can't take care of them, we have a chance of attacking them."

"The camp is difficult to attack from the outside, but it is not necessarily possible from the inside."

Jicumu didn't make his words too absolute. After all, this was his first time encountering a battle like this, and he didn't have much in his mind.

All I can say is that it is better to give it a try first than to wait here and waste supplies in vain.

After saying all his thoughts in one breath, Jicumu stopped talking and turned to look at Talon, waiting for their clan leader to make the final decision.

Jicom's tactic requires the mobilization of a large number of troops, and the losses will certainly not be small.

But right now they seem to have no other choice, they have to give it a try.

Thinking of this, Sharp Claw immediately made a decision.

"Then let's follow Jicumu's tactics and launch an offensive first."

The main reason is that under this situation, they really can't think of a better way. Jikumu's method at least sounds reliable, and the number of troops is indeed the biggest advantage of their ratmen!
