Weird battle cry in manga


I'm reading manga and as these adventurers charge towards a lion-like beast in
hopes of capturing it, they yell out:

畳【たた】み掛【か】けるぞ！

Now, according to multiple different dictionaries, this phrase means "to press
for an answer" but context-wise this makes no sense since the beast can't
talk. Is there some sort of less common meaning for this phrase or is it a pun
that I don't get or something?




That is actually a very common battle cry; It is not weird at all.

It means " ** _Attack in waves!_** " and it is very often used in sports (and
games) as well.

There is no pun involved here, either.

The meaning you found in the dictionary is for the **_verbal_** kind of 畳み掛け
whereas the usage you found in your manga is of the **_physical_** kind.
