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?
