Chapter 1160 Defense Deployment
Regarding this matter, Shi Lei was very calm and did not feel bad about it.
But it also made him more curious about Wo'jin's identity.
In this regard, Wojin had no intention of hiding it, and directly stated his identity...
"Actually, there is nothing to hide, I am the King of Copperforge. The youngest son of Otto Bronzefurnace, Uncle Bale is my father’s biological brother.”
Wo Jin's extraordinary identity was within Shi Lei's expectation, but it was a bit beyond his expectation.
After all, judging from his previous performance, the power Wo Jin possesses is not consistent with his identity.
Leading a team to track down a small group of green-skinned troops in the rear, as before, does not seem like what a king's son should do.
I feel that among this army of dwarves, Wojin is more like a handyman.
This is indeed the case. Through Wo Jin's simple self-narration, Shi Lei quickly understood a general idea.
To put it simply, unlike his eldest brother who is already in power in the military, he seems a bit too young in the eyes of his elders and even his eldest brother. Although he has shown good abilities, he still has not gained much military power.
His current identity is more like a young general under his uncle Balai, who is responsible for doing chores with limited risks.
Regarding this matter, Wojin felt very aggrieved. He felt that his father, uncle, and eldest brother had never given him a chance to prove himself.
Now that Shi Lei asked him about it, Wo Jin seemed to have found an outlet and couldn't help but vomit his bitterness to Shi Lei.
In this regard, Shi Lei just listened quietly.
He had just had a quarrel with the dwarf commander-in-chief, and he had no intention of discussing the internal affairs of Copperhearth Castle again. If this matter spread, it would probably cause them some unnecessary trouble.
At this time, either remain silent or end the topic as soon as possible.
The successful arrival of the garrison camp gave Shi Lei the opportunity to turn Wojin's attention to the subsequent handover of the troops from both sides.
Their arrival attracted the attention of a large number of dwarves. Although the relevant news had spread long ago, the dwarf soldiers present could not help but look at them more.
At the same time, I doubted whether these thin human soldiers could withstand the green-skin attack.
However, with Balai's soldiers and Prince Wojin here, no matter what they thought, the entire handover process went very smoothly.
But considering that they need to extend their defense line, the location of this camp will definitely need to be adjusted in the future.
Otherwise, this location is a bit far away from the extended defense line.
Once attacked by greenskins, it is very likely that it will be too late to provide support.
With this idea in mind, Shi Lei planned to go to the extension section first. Previously, he had mainly used the intelligence brought back by the Giant Eagle Knight. Next, he had to confirm it with his own eyes before deploying the defense line. OK.
It would be best to take advantage of the truce to quickly deploy the defense line.
Otherwise, once the greenskin offensive begins, they may not be able to get away.
Wojin also came with him. It was hard for Shi Lei to refuse on his land.
With the giant eagle knight leading the way, the group quickly arrived at the place.
Using the naturally formed terrain, the giant eagle knight flying in the air can see it clearly. With a little defense, this is a gateway.
After getting closer, even Wo Jin, who came with him, could see it at a glance. The reason why the dwarves did not set up defensive facilities here is because this location is already on the outer edge of Copperhearth Castle. If they want to expand the defense line here, their defensive pressure will increase significantly.
In this kind of offensive and defensive battle, once a gap in the defense line is breached by the enemy, it is likely to cause irreversible results. This is the main reason why Bale is not willing to extend the defense line. .
Now this matter has fallen on Shi Lei.
Although he agreed simply just now, it is really troublesome now that he has to go through a lot of trouble.
It’s not just a matter of manpower, but also materials.
Using the big trees growing in the area can only be said to be a last resort. It is best to have bricks, stones, or other ready-made building materials.
Thinking of this, Shi Lei also asked Wo Jin.
"Lord Woking, do you have any usable building materials here?"
"Leave this matter to me."
After hearing this, Wojin patted his chest and took over the matter.
"Besides, if you need labor, the three hundred militiamen over there can also help you. I can still make the decision on this small matter."
In Wo In Jin's opinion, as long as Da Zhou builds a defense line here, the deployment of the three hundred militiamen in the rear will be completely unnecessary.
Because they will contain the greenskin offensive outside this line of defense.
“Thank you very much!”
This is undoubtedly a good thing. The three hundred militiamen may not have strong combat effectiveness, but they are still quite considerable as a labor force.
At the same time, the most important thing is that in this situation where war may break out at any time, the addition of these three hundred laborers will prevent their soldiers from wasting their physical energy in labor.
Wojin obviously also knew that things here were of a race against time. After agreeing, he immediately rode a boar to make arrangements.
Shi Lei, on the other hand, focused on this natural pass and further pondered the specific defensive deployment.
This is obviously not a project that can be completed in a day or two, so he needs to first set up some simple defenses on the periphery that can be quickly arranged...
At this moment, as his brain accelerated, Shi Lei's thoughts became clearer.
After thinking it over thoroughly, he told his adjutant all his thoughts.
Needless to say, he planned to hand over the next juncture to his adjutant.
The importance of this pass is that once the green-skinned troops pass through here and follow the collapsed passage, they can directly enter their territory of Great Zhou, posing a threat to their territory of Great Zhou.
But putting this aside, just considering the defensive pressure, thanks to the terrain formed by the natural pass, the pressure is actually not great.
In comparison, the greater pressure actually comes from the edge defense they took over from the dwarves.
Balay also said before that the greenskins will launch strong attacks on this defense line from time to time. The purpose is to allow the small group of troops under his command to take the opportunity to infiltrate, so as to achieve the goal of attacking Copperfurnace from the inside. The purpose of disintegrating the defense line.
To put it simply, this is a tactical point for the greenskins, and naturally they have to bear greater risks.
However, Shi Lei has no regrets. He has not forgotten that the main purpose of leading his troops here is to intercept the greenskin troops trying to penetrate deeper and completely control the battlefield in Copperhearth Castle. piece!
