Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1175 Stay Away

If Shi Lei knew what Bale was thinking at this moment, he would definitely have to defend himself. After all, it was not him who first used this method, but Li Ce.

Li Ce is the best at messing with people's mentality. In the battlefield in the southern border, in order to withstand the pressure of the rat army, he used similar methods to mess with the rats.

Within the Great Zhou, all battles would be recorded for use in teaching, research, and internal discussions in order to expand the tactical thinking of each general.

This is how the current situation came about.

Shi Lei's previous tactics were simple. All it took was a hot air balloon and a grenadier to accomplish the task.

But in reality, one hot air balloon is totally insufficient.

Because there are three large camps of the dwarves surrounding Copperforge, corresponding to the three core battlefields. In addition, there is also a rear camp.

Since we are going to do this, we might as well do it thoroughly and not leave any camp untouched.

Shi Lei and Bale quickly reached a consensus on this matter, and Bale immediately ordered people to prepare the hot air balloon.

Obviously, they didn't plan to start the action after daybreak. Now that the plan had been finalized, they would naturally go and give the greenskins a big gift immediately! Don't think you can rest after the fight!!
Compared to the dwarves who were busy preparing hot air balloons, the situation on the Great Zhou side was much simpler. They only needed to arrange four grenadiers and equip them with explosive bombs and they were done.

The hot air balloon was quickly arranged. Although the dwarves were not tall, the size of the hot air balloon was not small at all, so there was no pressure at all to fly with their grenadiers.

In the night sky, the cold wind was howling. The dwarf hot air balloon operator skillfully confirmed the wind direction and then kept adjusting the flight altitude of the hot air balloon.

The three front-line camps of the greenskins are located not far from the foot of Copperforge Mountain, and the rear camp is not far away either.

The four hot air balloons quickly found the target. At this stage, the greenskins did not pose a threat to the air forces.

This allowed them to control the hot air balloon and approach the sky above the greenskin camp directly. During this time, the grenadiers moved quickly, lit the fuse, and threw the explosive bomb down.

In an instant, there was a loud bang, and the tranquility of the camp was completely shattered.

"WAAAAGH!!!"

Inside the bombed tent, a group of greenskins whose flesh and blood were mangled rushed out roaring.

The entire camp was soon awakened by the explosion.

However, at this point in time, the hot air balloon that had completed the bombing mission had already quickly taken off, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the clouds.

During this process, they vaguely heard explosions coming from several other directions.

Needless to say, this first round of operations went extremely smoothly.

During this time, Shi Lei, who had arranged this matter, went straight back to their Great Zhou defense line, completed the defense work in the second half of the night, and fell asleep.

Not letting the enemy sleep is so that they themselves can sleep better.

Shi Lei slept until noon the next day. He was indeed too tired.

From discussing things with Bale, confirming the hot air balloon's launch, to returning to the camp, completing the deployment and going to bed, calculating the time, it should have been around four or five in the morning. If I continued to dawdle for a while, it would be dawn.

Shi Lei woke up and looked at the sun which had already risen above his head. At this point in time, the greenskins had not launched an attack yet, which was enough to show that their harassment tactics had begun to take effect.

The overall effect can be said to have completely met Shi Lei's expectations. The combination of hot air balloons and explosive bombs made it impossible for the greenskins to rest in peace, and even caused them a lot of casualties during the bombing.

In broad daylight, there was another violent explosion, madly stimulating the nerves of every greenskin in the camp.

"WAAAAGH!!!"

The greenskin king was furious as he roared. "Take it down, take it down for me! WAAAAGH!!!"

Shi Lei and his men's move undoubtedly made the Greenskin King very angry.

But the Greenskin King did not have wings after all, and did not have the ability to fly. Even though his own strength had reached the level of Vajra Realm, facing the hot air balloon flying high in the sky, he could only jump in anger.

During this process, the Goblin Advisor kept his head down and said nothing, trying to reduce his presence.

From last night till now, he has hardly slept a wink.

Once that thing explodes, even the big guys will be blown into a bloody mess, let alone goblins like him. The power is enough to kill them directly.

The Goblin strategist, realizing this, was so worried that he couldn't sleep well.
At the same time, he knew in his heart that the opponent's attack was, to put it bluntly, revenge against them.

They had previously tried their best to recover and not let the opponent have a good rest, but now the opponent doesn't want to let them have a good rest either.

After spewing out a bunch of swear words, which was still of no avail, the greenskin king turned his head and looked at the goblin strategist who was huddled beside him with his bloodshot eyes.

The Goblin Strategist realized that the situation was not good and quickly spoke out...

"My king, I have a solution!"

"Why don't you tell me now?!"

The green king looked at him fiercely.

"We can temporarily let the main force retreat. As long as we retreat far enough, the enemy won't be able to harass us. We can come back after we have rested enough!"

In the current situation, it is definitely unrealistic to ask the green-skinned soldiers to launch an offensive despite their fatigue.

Although the idea proposed by the Goblin Military Advisor at this time was a stupid one, it was indeed useful.

That afternoon, Copperforge had already received the news that the greenskin army had broken camp and retreated. Bale and Shi Lei got together again. Bale could not hide his joy on his face, and even his tone became more polite.

"Mr. Shi Lei, what do you think next?"

At this moment, Bale actually already had an idea in his mind, but his previous experience made him want to hear the thoughts of the human general in front of him, so he took the initiative to throw this question over.

In this regard, Shi Lei did not intend to hide it and directly expressed his thoughts.

"The battle has come to this point, with so many casualties, it is unlikely that the greenskins will withdraw. They are retreating now, most likely to avoid our harassment and attacks. Once they have rested, they will regroup and fight back."

Hearing this, Bale nodded.

"I thought so too. The question now is whether we should let the hot air balloon team continue the pursuit."

"I don't think it's necessary."

Shi Lei, who had already made a judgment in his mind, quickly gave his answer.

"The longer the distance, the greater the risk. At the same time, if we execute this tactic for a long time, the loss will not be small. Fundamentally speaking, the purpose of doing this is to give ourselves some rest time. Now, this purpose has actually been achieved. There is no need to take more risks and losses."

Speaking of this, Shi Lei paused.

"But we can try to drive them away."
