Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1161 The attack begins

In the rear military camp of Tonglue Fort, Woking was busy in a low-key manner preparing the building materials needed for the deployment of the Great Zhou troops.

However, no matter how low-key he was, it was obviously impossible for him to hide it from Bale.

The relevant news was quickly reported to Bale. Bale, who was handling military affairs at the time, listened to his subordinates' reports and said without even raising his head...

"Don't worry about him."

The dwarves' construction industry is quite developed, and the thing that Copperforge has the most of is building materials and stones.

Moreover, strengthening the defense line is also a good thing for them, and Bale has no reason to refuse.

As for the three hundred militiamen...

Although he had clearly stated before that the defense of the extended section should be handled by Da Zhou itself, now facing the mobilization of this labor force, Bale chose to turn a blind eye.

Although Shi Lei's previous remarks made him feel embarrassed, Bale could not deny that the deployment of the 300 militiamen was indeed more symbolic than practical.

After the Great Zhou's defense was deployed, it no longer mattered whether the three hundred militiamen were there or not.

On this point, his thoughts were consistent with Woking's.

He had no intention of bringing up the matter, but also no intention of stopping it. He would just pretend that he didn't know about it. Everyone knew the whole story anyway.

Obviously, Shi Lei would not be so stupid as to think that Bale would not know that Woking was moving building materials and transferring labor over there.

In fact, the red-bearded dwarf has already acquiesced, but he is too embarrassed to speak up.

Those 300 militiamen were indeed very amateurish when asked to fight, and their combat effectiveness was negligible in the eyes of the dwarves.

But when they were asked to serve as labor to help them build defenses, most of the dwarf militiamen showed outstanding professional abilities, because this was the job they were designed to do!

Now, the major is suitable!
What they didn't expect was that although these dwarf craftsmen looked big and strong, their skills were quite delicate. Even the engineers in their army who were responsible for building camps and defense facilities felt inferior to them.

This made Shi Lei have a new understanding of dwarves.

In any case, he can basically rest assured about the checkpoint.

After temporarily returning to the garrison camp, Shi Lei took the opportunity to discuss some intelligence about the greenskin troops on the battlefield with Woking.

For example, the greenskins on this battlefield generally send out what kind of troops and in what mode they launch the attack.

Based on the information provided by Woking, Shi Lei quickly confirmed the situation of the greenskins here, which was almost the same as the information they had learned before in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

During this process, Shi Lei also learned that the dwarves have night vision, so it has no effect on them whether fighting during the day or at night.

This discovery made Shi Lei inexplicably upset.

Because he found that after going around like this, apart from humans, there are only a handful of races that do not have night vision!
However, according to Woking, the battles between the two sides were mainly fought during the day. Although they and the greenskins both had night vision, the two races essentially worked during the day and slept at night.

If their day and night are reversed, it will have some impact on their mental state.

As for the frequency of the greenskins' attacks... sometimes they fight a battle every three or four days, and sometimes they launch offensives for several consecutive days.

Currently, the initiative of this war is in the hands of the greenskins. The frequency of attacks mainly depends on the casualties on the greenskins' side.

If the dwarves want to change this situation, they must first seize the opportunity and win a great victory! While severely damaging the main force of the greenskins, they must turn defense into offense and seize the initiative.

But this is obviously not something Shi Lei needs to worry about.

Tens of thousands of greenskin troops surrounded Copperforge. If they wanted the Great Zhou to help turn the tide and put this heavy burden on them, they would have to gather at least 20,000 troops to join the battle, but they obviously had no such plans.

It has been said before that this is an unprofitable war.

The main reason why the Great Zhou sent troops was to resolve the threat.

Under this premise, what they need to do is to reduce the losses as much as possible while solving the greenskin threat, and even avoid affecting their rear development.

As for the protagonist of this battlefield, it's a thankless job, so let the dwarf take it.

In fact, this is indeed the dwarves' home ground, and they have no reason to steal the dwarves' limelight.

A new day began. Urgent alarms sounded over Tonglu Fort. Upon hearing the noise, Shi Lei rushed as fast as he could towards the defense line on the side they were responsible for guarding.

Unlike their extended defense line, this section has a real protective wall.

Copperlube Fort is located on the mountain, and it has the advantage of being high above the greenskins who are attacking from the foot of the mountain. After climbing up the protective wall, this advantage becomes even more obvious. Shi Lei can see the actions of the large greenskin army at a glance, and it also makes him clearly realize that Copperlube Fort is really a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!
This is when they are facing the greenskins, a force that possesses special cavalry. If they are facing ordinary human forces, the regular cavalry cannot even go up the mountain. However, the dwarves have the help of the special cavalry of the Boar Riders, and their advantage will only be greater.

There was no time to think about it. At this moment, the large greenskin army was almost climbing halfway up the mountain, which was also the key defense area of ​​Copperforge.

Standing on the top of the wall, Shi Lei could see from afar that a large number of dwarf heavy crossbowmen from the dwarf troops on the next line of defense were already on standby outside the protective wall. At the same time, wooden carts were pushed out by the dwarf soldiers and lined up to face the large greenskin army approaching head-on.

The next second, the dwarf officer gave an order and the baffle of the wooden cart was immediately removed.

Afterwards, the dwarf soldiers standing on both sides of the wooden cart grabbed the handles on the side of the wooden cart and pulled it back hard at the same time. The wooden cart immediately tilted and lifted up.

Then, a huge wooden pole covered with metal door nails rolled out from the wooden cart.

The moment it landed, the wooden beam rolled all the way down along the sloping mountain. The huge weight, coupled with the momentum caused by the roll, caused it to form a death roll, and a large number of green-skinned soldiers were crushed to death on the spot along the way.

Even the gigantic ogre was knocked down the mountain, spitting blood.

With the help of the environment, the destructive power displayed by the dwarves' special wooden spears was beyond Shi Lei's imagination.

At the same time, during a simple observation process, Shi Lei discovered that the wooden spears thrown by the dwarves could always hit the ogres on the opposite side.

Or to put it simply, those wooden spears were aimed at the ogres on the opposite side!

This is indeed the case. The main target of these dwarf wooden spears is the ogres on the opposite side.

Ogres are bulky and not very agile in their mobility. During the climbing process, they will become even more clumsy and basically unable to avoid the attacks of the wooden spears. They can only take the blows!
