Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1163 Shi Lei's Speculation

The sight of Da Zhou's muscles flexing made Bale's jaw drop. If he wasn't currently fighting with the greenskins, he would have definitely rushed into Da Zhou's camp to find out what was going on.

During this period, on the Great Zhou defense line, the bombing by the demolition vehicles gave them a good start. To them, the roaring sound was like the beating of war drums, which boosted the morale of the soldiers.

As the greenskin army continued to approach, Shi Lei, as the commander, completely focused his attention on commanding the battle situation at hand.

Following Shi Lei's arrangement, the crossbow troops of the Great Zhou methodically deployed their shooting formation outside the protective wall.

Then, with an order given, row after row of Great Zhou crossbowmen quickly launched a multi-stage attack on the approaching green-skinned soldiers!

Long before, when Vol'jin suggested forming an alliance with the Great Zhou to jointly resist the greenskin invasion, he had mentioned to him that the Great Zhou had a good crossbow unit.

At that time, Bale didn't take it too seriously.

Speaking of crossbow troops, looking at all the forces in the coalition, no one is stronger than them in Copperforge!
This also gave Bale a very deep understanding of the crossbowman type of soldier.

Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.

Don’t be fooled by the crossbow unit’s shooting tactics, which only require row after row of alternating shooting and continuous rotation. In fact, it also requires a lot of skills and experience.

It is not difficult to see from the continuous attacks formed by the smooth switching of the crossbowmen of the Great Zhou that this force is well-trained.

After looking for a while, Bale turned around and walked towards the wall.

"The battle has just begun, General, won't you take a look?"

"no need."

Bale had a lot of experience in fighting against the greenskins. With a simple visual estimate of the size of the greenskins, and then confirming the specifications of the Great Zhou troops, as well as the combat power they displayed and Shi Lei's command methods, Bale could basically confirm that the Great Zhou troops could resist this wave of greenskin invasion.

As the commander-in-chief of the dwarf army, he couldn't stay here all the time. After basically confirming the situation here, he naturally had to hurry back to his post.

The facts did not exceed Bale's expectations. The first defensive battle fought by the Great Zhou after arriving at Tonglu Fort was generally safe.

The changes in the mountain environment in Tonglubao caused the Da Zhou troops to suffer from slight acclimatization problems, but thanks to the advantages created by the cooperation between the wooden halberd and the blasting vehicle at the beginning, and Shi Lei's timely adjustments, they were able to overcome the problem smoothly.

With the retreat of the greenskin army, a round of defensive battle came to a temporary end.

"This battle was fought beautifully!"

After the war, Woking arrived at the Da Zhou camp almost immediately, and he looked quite excited.

He had to admit that before this battle, he was a little unsure.

After all, from Woking's perspective, although the Great Zhou's troops have had experience in dealing with small groups of greenskins many times, they have never proven themselves in large-scale wars.

And now, Woking's doubts have been completely dispelled.

What follows is a feeling of pride that "I have such a good eye".

In comparison, Shi Lei's performance was much calmer. He didn't even focus on Woking at all. Instead, he was thinking about something else.

"Lord Vol'jin, do you think this wave of greenskins retreated too quickly? Or have they always been like this in battles here?"

In Shi Lei's impression, the Greenskins' attacks are known for their tenacity, and can even be said to be endless. How could the Greenskins, who possess tenacious vitality and powerful recovery ability, retreat so easily?
At this moment, after hearing Shi Lei's words, Woking, who was very excited a moment ago, was stunned for a moment, and then his brows quickly frowned.

"Mr. Shi Lei, what do you mean?"

"I suspect the greenskins will launch an attack tonight!" Without hiding anything, Shi Lei directly stated his guess.

Woking was shocked.

"I'm going to find Uncle Balay!"

Woking, who had just arrived at the Great Zhou camp, heard this and immediately rode on the wild boar without waiting for Shi Lei to say more. The boar rushed to the rear camp without stopping.

A round of defensive battle had just ended, and Bale was now dealing with post-war work. At the same time, he was thinking about how to find Da Zhou to talk about the gunpowder issue after finishing these tasks.

As a result, Vol'jin rushed in in such a hurry. Fortunately, he was Bale's nephew and the youngest son of the King of Copperforge, otherwise he would have been stabbed to death by Bale's personal soldiers if he rushed in like that.

"Uncle Barley!"

Hearing the noisy noise, Balai looked over with a frown.

"I've told you many times not to rush around like this all the time!"

But Woking was in no mood to care about these things at the moment, and quickly relayed Shi Lei's words to Bale.

After hearing what Woking conveyed, Bale's face darkened.

The long battle with the greenskins had made his nerves a little numb. Now that Shi Lei said this, he reacted quickly.

In the past, when the dwarves and greenskins fought, everyone had night vision, so it really didn't matter whether it was day or night.

But the situation is different now. The Great Zhou army is mainly composed of human soldiers, and human soldiers do not have night vision.

If the greenskins had noticed the changes in their defense line during the daytime attack and quickly made targeted adjustments, the subsequent battle would probably have become more difficult for the soldiers of the Great Zhou.

Of course, they can't be careless!

"Pass on my order. Arrange for the soldiers to rest before dark. Strengthen the garrison after dark to prevent the greenskins from launching an attack after nightfall!"

"Yes!"

At the same time, at the Da Zhou camp, Shi Lei, who was the first to realize this problem, also made the same arrangement.

Compared to the dwarves who have night vision, the battle after nightfall will be a greater test for their Great Zhou troops. For this reason, they must conserve their energy in advance.

At the same time, according to his speculation, if this wave of greenskins really launched a night attack, it would definitely be aimed at their Great Zhou troops. At that time, the part of the defense line where they were located would definitely be attacked!

Thinking of this, he really had to make some preparations before dark.

For example, he had to arrange some city defense resources.

With this thought in mind, Shi Lei quickly called Woking over again.

In fact, he wanted to say it before, but Woking ran too fast and he didn't have time to open his mouth.

The arrangement of city defense resources is different from the previous building materials and militia. These are military supplies. Even he cannot mobilize them at will. He must obtain permission from his uncle Bale.

For this reason, Woking directly acted as a messenger between the two sides and became busy in the camp...
