Chapter 854: Telling a Lie
Just like the Goblin Wolf Cavalry dormant in the dark caught the Great Zhou Cavalry off guard, at this moment, the cavalry of Copperfurnace Castle also performed the same role.
They were armed with sharp cavalry spears, wore armor, and rode strong wild boar covered with bristles. In the astonished eyes of the Zhou cavalry, they showed quite an astonishing charge. ability.
The remaining Goblin Wolf Cavalry were quickly swept away by them, but these boar knights from Copperforge did not stop there, but turned around and rushed towards them. Those green-skinned idiots chasing us here.
Although these boar knights are short in stature, their strength is not small at all. As the momentum of the charge increases, it is also full of lethality.
At the same time, the large army of Copperhearth Castle also successfully arrived at the outskirts of Yuancheng.
At this moment, the Zhou troops in the city gate passage have maintained their formation and pushed their battle line to the city gate.
The shield wall was used as a barrier, combined with the spears in the hands of the spearmen, the wildly burning fire pit outside the city gate, and the smashing of the wooden boulders on the wall to form a triple strike.
If this momentum continues, with the Goblin Wolf Cavalry and some of the stupid guys on the periphery having been killed by them, the remaining greenskins are really not going to be able to survive without the support of follow-up troops. How much chance of victory is left? Total defeat is just a matter of time.
But they obviously have no interest in waiting.
Outside Yuan City, the infantry troops of Copperhearth Castle formed a formation. They were wearing leather armor and holding heavy crossbows.
After stepping on the pedals used to fix the heavy crossbow, he quickly pulled the heavy crossbow away with his strong arms.
Then the crossbow arrows were released, the trigger was pulled, and with a series of piercing sounds, a whole row of crossbow arrows suddenly shot toward the greenskins blocking the city gate.
The penetration power of these crossbow arrows shot by heavy crossbows is extremely amazing. When they hit the green skins, they instantly splashed with blood.
The pain caused the greenskins to quickly notice the enemies behind them.
"WAAAGH!!! Dwarves! Damn the Copperforge dwarves! Kill them!! WAAAGH!!!"
With the roar, the greenskins who were attacked moved toward the rear without thinking. The dwarves in formation rushed over.
Faced with such a battle, the dwarves did not panic at all. After finishing shooting, the heavy crossbowmen in the first row quickly retreated to the back row. At the same time, the heavy crossbowmen in the back row who had completed loading the crossbows The crossbowman switches towards the front row.
The whole process went very quickly. Almost at the moment the switch was completed, the heavy crossbows in the hands of the dwarves were raised again, the trigger was pulled, and a new round of offensive broke out!
The dwarves are undoubtedly experienced in dealing with these greenskins.
They arranged their formations and fired alternately to ensure that they could carry out continuous fire suppression on the greenskins throughout the entire process.
At the same time, the boar knights also quickly moved to the flanks.
Even if something unexpected happens in the middle, they can quickly jump in and stabilize the situation to prevent it from getting out of control.
At the same time, Shi Lei received the news immediately inside Yuancheng and outside the city as soon as the changes occurred, and then hurriedly climbed up the wall to confirm the latest battle situation.
In that short period of time, Shi Lei's emotions could be said to have experienced a complete ups and downs.
Shi Lei was still not sure about the origin of the dwarf outside the city, but what was certain was that he was probably not the same group as those greenskins.
As the party being attacked by the greenskins, it was naturally impossible for them to paddle at this time.
"The shield soldiers and spearmen continued to line up to block the city gate, and all the archers went to the top of the wall!"
After receiving the order, the archers rushed to the top of the wall as quickly as possible , started shooting at the greenskins outside the city. Under the double attack of the Zhou Dynasty and the dwarf forces, the fierce battle surrounding Yuancheng came to an end earlier than expected.
This made Shi Lei feel a little relieved, but he obviously didn't dare to relax completely. They still didn't understand the origins of the group of dwarves outside the city. "Colonel, what do we do now?"
Obviously, after a brief cheer, the soldiers under his command quickly realized this problem.
Shi Lei had already been thinking about it when they launched a pincer attack on the greenskins outside the city, and he had already come to a conclusion in his mind.
"Let the troops in the city stay vigilant, and the first team will follow me out of the city."
No matter what the purpose was, the other party just helped them defeat the greenskin troops.
Of course, the more important point is that their cavalry troops are still outside, which makes Shi Lei unable to go out.
Due to the special situation of the front city gate, Shi Lei also led a group of men out of the city through the side gate.
As the distance got closer, Shi Lei looked at the opponent again.
These dwarves are very short, only about 1.3 meters tall by visual inspection. Riding on the backs of wild boars, they cannot reach the height of their horses.
But they have absolutely nothing to do with the word "thin".
In fact, compared to humans like them, these dwarves are not only not thin, they are even a little too strong. The strong muscles make their limbs appear particularly thick.
On this basis, the extremely thick hair, coupled with the beard that can almost be braided, makes their entire image look even wilder.
"I am Shi Lei, the commander-in-chief of the New North District of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Thank you all dwarf friends for your help!"
After approaching, Shi Lei also sincerely looked towards the man riding on the back of the wild boar in front of him. The dwarf on top expresses his thanks.
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the leading dwarf.
"I am Vol'jin Copperfurnace from Copperforge, you actually recognize us?"
"Know a little bit."
The other party is also talking about the common language passed down from the old civilization. There was no language barrier, which made Shi Lei feel relieved.
In fact, in the simple conversation just now, he lied. He didn't know anything about dwarves at all.
He was able to say this word. On the one hand, the green skin outside the city shouted this word before, and on the other hand, when he climbed on the wall to observe the battle situation, he found an opportunity to use the 'insight'. Observe the dwarves outside the city.
His 'Eye of Insight' could not see through the leading dwarf, but it could see through ordinary dwarf soldiers.
And it was through the attribute panels of these dwarf soldiers that he learned about the term 'dwarf'.
Shi Lei's purpose of doing this at this time is also very simple, just to prevent the other party from thinking that he doesn't understand anything and thus looking down on them.
So far, the effect is quite good.
“If possible, I would like to know the purpose of your visit and why these greenskins appeared in our territory of Great Zhou and attacked our cities of Great Zhou!”
