Chapter 1046 Entering the Customs
Looking at the border guards who quickly fell to the ground after breathing a sigh of relief, Xie Liancheng took a deep breath and had no intention of joining in.
After all, in his opinion, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry is outside the grassland pass at the moment.
This kind of special cavalry is different from regular cavalry. The resisting horses set up outside the pass may not be able to effectively intercept them.
Considering the battle that may break out next, he must stay awake.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhou Chongshan's voice rang out.
"Colonel Xie can rest for a while. This pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Then we can just leave it to us to fall into the camp."
Almost at the same time as Zhou Chongshan was speaking, the man who fell into the camp The soldiers quickly dismounted and quickly replaced the spear weapons they had left at the grassland pass.
Yes, the trapped camp is not just heavy armored cavalry, they are also heavy armored infantry!
Basically, they can skillfully use all the known weapons in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The entrance to the canyon is relatively narrow, giving it a natural defensive advantage. Coupled with the horse resistance and being guarded by the trapped camp, it is unrealistic for the greenskin troops to attack in a short time.
Instead of holding on now, he might as well take this opportunity to take a good rest. After all, Xie Liancheng knew in his heart that the tough battle was still to come.
"Okay, let me rest for a while."
Xie Liancheng nodded, and then couldn't help but remind him again.
"This large green-skinned army is still behind. They should wait until they join the large army before launching an offensive. Don't be careless."
"Okay, I understand."
At this moment, Zhou Chongshan's tone was calm, but inexplicably reassuring.
Invisibly, even Jie Liancheng felt a little more at ease.
On this journey, although Jie Liancheng, as a Hundred Refining Realm warrior, was physically much stronger than an ordinary soldier, most of the pressure was still on him.
Without him taking the lead, with the combat effectiveness of the border guards, facing the Goblin Wolf Cavalry on the opposite side, they would basically be dead at the first touch.
After going all this way, he was almost exhausted.
There is no need to arrange any resting place. Jie Liancheng looked at which side was empty. Without affecting the movement of the soldiers at the grassland pass, he lay down directly there and fell asleep at the speed of light.
During this period, the soldiers trapped in the camp have hardly had any rest since they received the news and set off urgently, but their condition is much better than that of Jie Liancheng and others.
At this time, he also directly took over the garrison work at the grassland pass, and confirmed the defensive materials here.
To be honest, there are very few.
The internal labor shortage, coupled with the concept that the Northeast region is full of primitive tribes, makes this area a very low priority.
However, unless Zhou Xu could predict this matter, he would still make the same choice even if he had to do it over again.
With the internal labor force so tight, there was no way he could use his labor force to strengthen the grassland gates and guard against the primitive tribes outside.
It makes no sense to act in hindsight at this point.
Zhou Chongshan could feel that from the moment they entered the grassland pass, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry on the opposite side became very cautious.
Just like what Xie Liancheng said before, the opponent is most likely waiting for the large forces to come and join together before officially launching an offensive.
In response to this situation, as a passive defender, they have nothing more to do.
In order to ensure their condition, Zhou Chongshan quickly arranged shifts for the soldiers trapped in their camp. While taking turns to deploy, allow the remaining soldiers some time to rest.
Everyone knows that the real fierce battle is still to come. Before that, although they cannot relax their vigilance, preserving their condition and recharging their energy are also very important.
Quietly, the sky is getting darker, and now the season has gradually entered late autumn. It is only about four o'clock in the evening, and the sky has already started to get dark.
"Does the greenskin opposite have night vision?"
Although they had experience fighting greenskin troops before, the battles took place during the day. They really don't know whether the other party has night vision.
While Zhou Chongshan was muttering like this, Xie Liancheng's voice came from behind him.
“I don’t know whether ordinary green-skinned soldiers have night vision, but the Goblin Wolf Cavalry opposite has the ability to move at night.”
Hearing the sound, Zhou Chongshan looked back.
After a good sleep, Xie Liancheng's mental state was obviously much better at this moment.
Zhou Chongshan was not too surprised that the Goblin Wolf Cavalry had the ability to move at night.
After all, wolves are nocturnal animals.
If only the Goblin Wolf Cavalry could carry out night operations, they would be guarding the grassland pass, relying on the spears and horses in their hands, so there would be no need to be too nervous, and they could basically handle it.
I'm just afraid that the big green-skinned soldiers on the opposite side also have night vision.
After nightfall, their defensive pressure will surely increase exponentially.
"Did you remember anything about the greenskin troops on the opposite side?"
Zhou Chongshan had already asked this question once on the way to the grassland pass.
According to the previous information provided by the New Taipei District, there are also many types of troops within the green skins. Among them, giant units like ogres are extremely destructive in siege battles.
Even if it is a serious fortress wall, it is extremely difficult to block the opponent head-on. A defense like the grassland pass is probably no different from a layer of tissue paper in front of the opponent.
In this way, if possible, he must confirm the opponent's troop configuration as much as possible.
Facing this problem at this time, Xie Liancheng scratched his hair with a headache.
“At that time, we only had an encounter with the green-skinned troops from a distance, and immediately retreated. After that, the main ones who dealt with us were the Goblin Wolf Cavalry. Regarding the units of the green-skinned troops, I was really surprised. Not very clear.”
Xie Liancheng didn’t think there was anything wrong with his handling at that time.
In that situation, if they don't take the people from the border camp and retreat as quickly as possible, there is a high probability that they will not be able to leave.
Once the large force from the opposite side comes forward, the gap in strength is so great that no matter how strong he is, he cannot withstand it.
In this regard, Zhou Chongshan felt a little more dignified.
Soon, with the alternation of day and night, their vision began to become worse and worse. The soldiers holding spears stood behind the horses and looked outside the pass. It was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.
Invisibly, a pressure began to slowly spread.
At this moment, Chitose, who was lying on the side with her eyes closed and dozing, suddenly opened her eyes and let out a low growl with warning.
Needless to say, the enemy is coming!
