Chapter 1035 Busy Autumn
In the big week of this season, it seems that after finishing this busy period, they are ready to spend the winter.
Winter is a good season for the people of Zhou Dynasty who basically have no worries about food and clothing.
When it gets dark early, you can postpone your work time, and when it gets dark early, you can advance your get off work time.
Besides, without the pressure of survival, if it snows heavily and the roads are blocked, and you can’t go out, you can just stay at home and warm yourself by the fire and drink tea, that would be very comfortable.
Of course, except in the rainforest areas, there is no winter there, so you can just do whatever you need to do.
In view of this situation, Zhou Xu, as a ruler, is still a Buddhist and thinks very liberally.
After all, the first three seasons are basically busy. After winter, we should appropriately reduce the work pressure and let the people relax and adjust their mood.
Otherwise he can still struggle with the seasonal changes?
This situation makes other areas of Dazhou, except for the rainforest area, feel a bit joyful every time winter comes, just like celebrating a festival, and this year is certainly no exception.
However, in such a special time period for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, over the Xinbei District Plain Fortress located at the other end of the Great Zhou Dynasty, rapid alarm bells were ringing continuously!
During this period, Shi Lei, who was the commander-in-chief of the New Taipei District, was dressed in military uniform. After hearing the alarm bell, he immediately climbed onto the wall as quickly as possible.
【Eye of Insight! 】
As soon as the mantra opened, the vision in front of him quickly became clear.
On the outskirts of their New Taipei District Plain Fortress, a green-skinned army was approaching.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Shi Lei's expression darkened when he saw this scene.
"It's the greenskin troops! Send a signal, all soldiers are ready to fight!!"
While shouting, with the help of the power of 'Eye of Insight', Shi Lei's sight was still far away He glanced back and forth at the group of greenskins.
[It seems that there should be no ogres...]
This discovery made Shi Lei feel a little relieved.
According to the information previously obtained from the dwarves, ogres are a relatively rare unit among the green-skinned troops.
Under normal circumstances, small-scale greenskin troops will not be equipped with ogres.
The green-skinned army they encountered before not only had ogres, but also goblin wolf cavalry. In addition, they also had a green-skinned general who was in the Hundred Refining Realm. Obviously this is not normal.
At that time, the green-skinned troops were fully prepared to attack the rear of Copperhearth Castle.
Unexpectedly, it went deeper and deeper, and even created a big circle that had never appeared before, causing their plan to fail.
"Colonel, there are no ogres on the opposite side. How to deal with the settings at the city gate?"
After experiencing the initial battle with the ogres, the garrison troops headed by Shi Lei in the New Taipei District of Great Zhou Dynasty started to He habitually dug holes at the city gate to guard against the ogres on the other side.
But there are no ogres on the opposite side this time. The green-skinned troops will rush up to kill them. The potholes and traps at the gate of the city can trap ordinary green-skinned people on the opposite side, so there is no problem in the first place.
But they are afraid that after the trap is over, they will not be able to completely destroy each other. If they escape a few times, won't their information be exposed?
Although it is only a matter of time before this kind of city defense method is exposed, but at least let them trap another ogre on the opposite side, right?
After all, it is considered a rare green-skinned unit, so it should be a trap for each one, right?
With this mentality, Shi Lei made a quick decision in his mind. "Pass my order, form a formation outside the city to attack!"
"Yes!"
Shi Lei gave the order, and the gate of Pingyuan Fortress quickly rose. As quickly as possible, the soldiers laid several huge wooden boards at the gate of their city to block the potholes and traps so as not to trap their own people.
After that, the well-trained border guards quickly went out of the city to form an array. In the process, the city defense crossbows deployed on the walls of their plain fortress were certainly not idle.
Shi Lei's daily training with them made them know what to do in the face of this situation!
The city defense crossbows were quickly pulled out one after another, and special crossbow arrows like short spears were quickly attached.
Look for the moment when the green skins on the opposite side enter their shooting range.
Without any order, the city defense crossbows fired directly!
Along with a series of sounds, the specially-made crossbow arrows shot through the air.
Faced with such powerful sniping, the advancing green-skinned soldiers were completely unprepared, and at the same time they had no time to dodge. The strong body was penetrated by the special crossbow arrow on the spot.
“WAAAGH!!!”
The attack from the plain fortress instantly aroused the anger of the greenskin troops. With the roar, the greenskin soldiers who were still advancing steadily began to Launched a mad charge towards them.
During this process, the wall-top city's crossbow attack did not stop, but to be honest, from the beginning, Shi Lei did not expect that the city's crossbow defense alone could suppress the advance of the greenskin troops.
The power of the city defense crossbows is undoubtedly sufficient, but the number is too small to hold them up, and the greenskin troops on the opposite side are at least in the thousands.
Not to mention that there is also a size problem. It is difficult to aim the city defense crossbow against individual units. To a large extent, it depends on pure luck.
The advancing speed of the green-skinned troops that entered the charging state was greatly increased. Keeping the distance in mind, Shi Lei saw the right moment and quickly gave the order.
"Archer, prepare to shoot!"
"Fire the arrow!"
After the city defense crossbow, a rain of arrows swept across. Compared with the city defense crossbow with amazing penetrating power, the face was rough and fleshy, and at the same time it had 'WAAAGH! ! ! ’ The green-skinned troops protected by the force field, the lethality of the arrow rain has been curbed to a great extent.
Although relying on the archers' high-frequency continuous shooting skills, they flew three rounds of arrow rain in a short period of time, but they had little effect.
Seeing this scene, in the battle formation, Shi Lei took a deep breath and waited for the opportunity to come.
Just wait for that group of people shouting ‘WAAAGA! ! ! ’ The green-skinned soldiers kept advancing with war cries, rushing into their final output area!
At that moment, the large shield soldiers who formed the shield wall in the front row quickly withdrew, and the heavy crossbow soldiers carrying individual crossbows directly broke into the sight of the green skinned soldiers.
Needless to say, this is the real killer move of their border guards!
If you choose to defend the city wall, the attack formation of the heavy crossbow troops will not be able to spread out at all!
Under the cover of the shield wall, the heavily armed crossbowmen had already loaded their crossbows. Almost as soon as the shield wall was removed, the heavily armed crossbowmen pulled the trigger without hesitation. .
In an instant, swarms of crossbow arrows were like a raging rainstorm, shooting towards the green-skinned soldiers who were charging forward!
