Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1174: The Devil-like Guy
Zhou Chongshan's action made Shi Lei nod secretly. Although they were both veteran generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the number of times he had cooperated with Zhou Chongshan was indeed limited. It was not true that he knew him very well.

In fact, he and Jie Liancheng might be more familiar with each other, after all, Jie Liancheng used to be his deputy general.

However, at this moment, Shi Lei was able to confirm that in terms of comprehensive ability, Zhou Chongshan was definitely stronger than Jie Liancheng.

Shi Lei, who used to be Jie Liancheng's boss, knew that Jie Liancheng did not have much ability to lead troops. His own value was mainly reflected in his personal extraordinary bravery, and his main goal was to reverse the situation of the battle by his own strength.

But Zhou Chongshan was different. From the moment he led the Xianzhen Camp to cut into the battlefield from the flank, Shi Lei could clearly feel that Zhou Chongshan and the Xianzhen Camp were one.

During the brief battle with the greenskins, the Xianzhen Camp also cooperated well and advanced and retreated according to their principles.

In the situation just now, as soon as the Goblin Wolf Cavalry moved, although the Formation Trap successfully resolved a round of attack by the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, Shi Lei had also realized that it was time for the Formation Trap to slowly retreat.

However, before he could send a signal, the Xianzhen Camp had already taken action.

What does this mean?
This shows that Zhou Chongshan has a very good tactical awareness, as well as the ability to observe and understand the battle situation.

You know, the trap camp headed by Zhou Chongshan is actually in the game, not like Shi Lei, who is standing on the protective wall, occupying a high view and having a clear view of the entire battlefield in front of him.

Those involved are often confused, but those who are watching can see clearly! Being in the game and being able to do this is enough to explain a lot of problems.

As a result, Shi Lei can focus his energy on commanding the front battlefield with greater peace of mind.

After eight days of hard fighting, this was supposed to be a dangerous battle, but the arrival of the Xianzhen Camp greatly reduced the pressure on them.

During this period, the Xianzhen Camp led by Zhou Chongshan quickly defeated two waves of greenskin troops while fighting and retreating, and then temporarily withdrew from the battlefield.

At this time, if the greenskins dare to pursue them further, they will turn around and kill the pursuers after they are far away from the main battlefield. The Xianzhen Camp has the strength to do so!
On the contrary, if the Greenskins do not pursue them in depth, they will rest on the periphery and then look for an opportunity to re-enter the battlefield. Their main strategy is to constantly pull and wear down the Greenskins' forces.

The battle lasted until the early morning, when the greenskins finally couldn't hold on any longer and called off the battle.

In terms of resilience, the greenskins are indeed better, but don't forget the Copperforge and Great Zhou troops as the defenders, they also have the advantages of protective walls and mountains.

Following this method, even if the greenskins have strong recovery abilities, their condition will not be much better than theirs. Climbing mountains and attacking cities in the middle of the night is not an easy task.

After the greenskins withdrew, Shi Lei gave a few brief instructions. After assigning some post-war work to the officers under his command, he turned around and looked for Bale.

After days of fighting, Bale was in a bad mental state.

In fact, the battlefield area that Tonglu Fort is responsible for is larger, and in terms of energy, Balai's loss is also greater than Shi Lei's.

When Shi Lei came over, Bale was overwhelmed by the large amount of post-war work and had no time to pay attention to him.

Seeing this, Woking took Shi Lei to the side and sat him down.

Shi Lei was extremely tired at the moment. As soon as he sat down, a strong sense of sleepiness suddenly began to assault his consciousness, making him feel like he would fall asleep in the next second.

Fortunately, Balai didn't let him wait too long. After quickly finishing the military affairs at hand, he came over.

"Mr. Shi Lei, is there something important that you come to see me at this time?"

Hearing Balai's voice, Shi Lei no longer had the energy to be polite. He quickly pulled himself together and got straight to the point...

"We can't go on like this. The greenskins are still in control."

Having said that, Shi Lei took a deep breath, trying to use the cold air in the middle of the night to make his mind clearer.

"For example, now that this battle is over, should we worry about whether the greenskins will launch an offensive during the day tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Balai's face suddenly turned ugly.

Indeed, this is the Greenskins' current tactical thinking. If they continue to fight day and night, their chances of winning in the end are slim.

"What are you going to do?" Although they have only been together for a short time, some ideas between smart people are often common.

Since Shi Lei came to find me, it means that he must have a way.

"They won't let us rest properly, and we won't let them rest properly!"

"Are you planning to send troops to harass their camp?"

After receiving this answer, Barai frowned.

"I've thought of this idea a long time ago. The greenskins' base camp is at the foot of the mountain. Once we get there, the boar riders can't outrun the goblin wolf riders in a short distance. As for your human cavalry..."

Balay hesitated for a moment, then said...

"It will probably be easier to go down the mountain than to go up. Even if we send the Centaurs, the risk will be great."

To put it simply, if you send cavalry units to harass them, they will most likely be defeated there.

"Your Giant Eagle Knight can fly in the sky, which can ensure safety, but our hot air balloon can also do this."

Apparently, the dwarves of Copperforge have hot air balloons.

In fact, it's not just them, many forces in the coalition have this.

"But I have to remind you that just flying in the sky and making some noise will basically have little effect on the greenskins. I have already used this trick."

At this point, Balai's voice suddenly paused.

"Wait, wait a minute..."

Looking at Shi Lei sitting there, he began to react.

"Normally, noise is useless, but we can use explosives!"

"Yes."

Shi Lei grinned.

"We just need to arrange a hot air balloon, fly it over the greenskin camp, and drop the explosives down!"

Shi Lei gestured as he spoke.

"Bang! When the explosives go off, can the greenskins still rest in peace?"

At this moment, Bale couldn't help but laugh too.

"Yes, this trick works!"

"You send out the hot air balloons, and we send out the explosives. We don't need a lot of explosives, and we don't need to send them too frequently. The key is to make sure the other side can't figure out the pattern of our sending of explosives."

Shi Lei described his plan in an orderly manner.

"We can start by dropping a bomb every hour. What's important is the noise and the power of the explosive. One bomb is enough to disturb the entire camp."

"Then we can suddenly increase the frequency to once every half an hour, and then we can change it to once every one and a half hours, or even once every two hours, so that the greenskins don't know when we will come. This way, they will become anxious and unable to rest in peace."

Listening to this plan, Bale's eyes changed again and again as he looked at Shi Lei.

[As an enemy, this guy is truly like a devil...]
