Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1046: Entering the Pass
Looking at the border guards who fell to the ground soon after they breathed a sigh of relief, Xie Liancheng took a deep breath and had no intention of joining them.

After all, in his opinion, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry was just outside the grassland pass.

This special cavalry is different from regular cavalry, and the chevaux de frise set up outside the pass may not be able to effectively intercept them.

Considering the possible battle that might break out, he had to stay awake.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhou Chongshan's voice rang out.

"Colonel Jie, you can take a rest first. This pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Leave the rest to our trap camp."

Almost at the same time as Zhou Chongshan spoke, the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp quickly dismounted and quickly replaced their weapons with spears that had been left at the grassland pass.

Yes, the Xianzhen Camp is not just heavy armored cavalry, they are also heavy armored infantry!
Basically, the Xianzhen Camp can skillfully use all known weapons within the Great Zhou.

The entrance to the canyon is relatively narrow, which provides a natural defensive advantage. With the help of chevaux de frise and guarded by the trap camp, it is unrealistic for the greenskin troops to attack in a short period of time.

Instead of trying to hold on now, he might as well take this opportunity to have a good rest. After all, Jie Liancheng knew that the tough battle was still ahead.

"Okay, I'll take a break first."

Xie Liancheng nodded, and then couldn't help but remind him again.

"The main force of the greenskins is still behind us. They should wait until they meet up with the main force before launching an offensive. Don't be careless."

"Okay, I understand."

At this moment, Zhou Chongshan's tone was calm, yet inexplicably reassuring.

Invisibly, even Jie Liancheng felt a little more at ease.

Along the way, although Xie Liancheng, as a warrior in the Hundred Refining Realm, had much stronger physical fitness than ordinary soldiers, most of the pressure was also on him.

If he hadn't taken up the responsibility, based on the combat effectiveness of the border defense forces, they would basically be killed with just one touch against the Goblin Wolf Cavalry.

After all this journey, he was almost exhausted.

There was no need to arrange any place to rest. Xie Liancheng just looked for an empty place and lay down there without affecting the movement of the soldiers at the grassland pass. He fell asleep instantly.

During this period, although the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp had basically not had any rest since they received the news and set out urgently, their condition was much better than that of Jie Liancheng and his men.

At this moment, he directly took over the garrison work at the grassland pass and confirmed the defensive supplies here.

To be honest, it's very little.

The tight internal labor force, coupled with the perception that the Northeast is full of primitive tribes, makes this area a very low priority.

However, unless Zhou Xu could predict the future, he would still make the same choice even if he had to do it again.

With the internal labor force so tight, there was no way he could use the labor to reinforce the grassland passes and guard against the primitive tribes outside.

There is no point in talking about this now.

Zhou Chongshan could feel that the goblin wolf cavalry on the opposite side became very cautious from the moment they entered the grassland pass.

Just as Jie Liancheng said before, the other side is most likely waiting for the main force to join them before officially launching an offensive.

In response to this situation, as the passive defenders, there is nothing more they can do.

In order to ensure their condition, Zhou Chongshan quickly arranged shifts for the soldiers in the trap camp. While taking turns to deploy defenses, the rest of the soldiers were given time to rest.

Everyone knows that the real fierce battle is yet to come. Before that, although they cannot let their guard down, maintaining their condition and conserving their energy is also very important.

Quietly, the sky gradually darkened. Now the season has gradually entered deep autumn. It was just past four o'clock in the evening, but the sky had already begun to darken.

"The greenskins on the other side, don't they have night vision?"

Although they had experience of fighting against greenskin troops before, the battles all took place during the day, and they were not sure whether the enemy had night vision.

Just as Zhou Chongshan was muttering this, Jie Liancheng's voice came from behind him.

"I don't know if ordinary green-skinned soldiers have night vision, but the Goblin Wolf Cavalry on the opposite side are capable of operating at night."

Hearing the sound, Zhou Chongshan looked back.

After a good night's sleep, Xie Liancheng's mental state was obviously much better.

Zhou Chongshan was not too surprised that the Goblin Wolf Cavalry had the ability to move at night.

After all, wolves are nocturnal animals.

If only the Goblin Wolf Cavalry could carry out night operations, they would not have to be too nervous guarding the grassland pass with their spears and chevaux de frise, and would basically be able to cope with it.

What I’m afraid of is that those big green-skinned soldiers on the opposite side also have night vision capabilities.

Then after nightfall, their defensive pressure will increase exponentially.

"Do you remember anything about the greenskin troops on the other side?"

Zhou Chongshan had already asked this question once on the way to the grassland pass.

According to the intelligence previously provided by the New North District, there are also various types of troops within the Greenskins. Among them, giant troops like ogres have amazing destructive power in siege warfare.

Even if it was a proper fortress wall, it would be extremely difficult to block the enemy head-on. The defense at the grassland pass would probably be no different from a layer of thin paper in front of the enemy.

In this way, if possible, he must confirm the opponent's troop deployment as much as possible.

Faced with this problem, Xie Liancheng scratched his hair with a headache.

"At that time, we only encountered the greenskin army from a distance and retreated immediately. After that, the main ones we dealt with were the goblin wolf cavalry. I don't know much about the types of soldiers in the greenskin army."

Xie Liancheng didn't think there was anything wrong with how he handled the situation at the time.

In that situation, if they didn't retreat with the people in the border camp as quickly as possible, they would most likely not be able to escape.

Once the opposing large force attacks, the disparity in troop strength is obvious, and no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to withstand it.

Zhou Chongshan felt even more solemn about this.

Soon, with the alternation of day and night, their vision began to become worse and worse. The defending soldiers stood behind the chevaux de frise, holding spears in their hands, and looked out of the pass. They found it so dark outside that they could not see their hands in front of them.

Invisibly, a pressure began to spread slowly.

At this moment, Qiansui, who was lying on the side and pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a warning growl.

Needless to say, the enemy is coming!
