Chapter 1164 Shi Lei’s Speculation (2)
Looking at his nephew running back and forth, Balai was speechless.
Where is the appearance of the king's son here? Those who didn’t know better thought he was an errand boy!
However, considering what happened before, having Wojin mediate it is not a bad thing.
Balay felt that Shi Lei's speculation was probably right.
If the greenskins want to carry out a night attack, it is basically certain that they will be targeting the Zhou troops who do not have night vision.
Following this line of thinking, the greenskins will inevitably launch a strong attack on them. Shi Lei's attack can be said to be prophetic.
After learning about Shi Lei's request from Wo Jin, Balai's first reaction was whether he could take this opportunity to talk to him about gunpowder?
However, as soon as this idea arose, he was dismissed by Balai himself.
Although they dwarves have bad tempers, they also need to be respectful.
From a moral point of view, this wave of Great Zhou came to support their Copperhearth Castle.
The Great Zhou troops are guarding the defense line of their Copperfurnace Castle. There is no reason to say such a thing. Their Great Zhou troops have to pay for their efforts. This makes no sense anywhere!
Under normal circumstances, let alone city defense supplies, even if the Zhou army asked Copperhearth Castle to solve the food and grass problem for the soldiers, it would be a reasonable request.
The other party did not let them solve the food and grass problem, and it would be a bit shameless for him to negotiate terms with Da Zhou about the city defense supplies.
It would be easy not to talk about Chengdu at that time. I am afraid that I will fall out with Zhou and the other party will withdraw his troops directly.
Before this battle, Balai might not have thought much of it, but after this battle, Dazhou had already shown his strength.
According to the current situation in Copperhearth Castle, although they can still withstand a defensive battle, they are afraid of being eaten alive by the greenskins. Without strong enough support, it is already very difficult for them. The situation has been reversed.
The only thing that can be done is to continue to waste time with the greenskins, hoping that something will change in the process.
Obviously there is no hope for the coalition forces. At this time, the appearance of Da Zhou has become a variable.
Balay didn’t believe that the other party only had this small number of troops. If it were him, he wouldn’t be able to support other forces by sending all their troops as soon as they came up.
What they have to do now is to maintain a good alliance with Da Zhou and unite the front. As long as Da Zhou is willing to continue to increase his troops, their chances of winning will become greater and greater!
Thinking of this, Balai also made a quick decision and directly transferred a batch of city defense materials and asked Wojin to send them to Dazhou, which also included a cart specially used to put in wood.
Although this thing is simple, it is easy to use. On this mountain battlefield in front of you, it can be a big killer!
After sending these equipment over, Wojin briefly explained to them how to use them. However, their technical skills are not low, not to mention that this cart has no technical content in their opinion. To put it bluntly, it's just a lever added under the car and a linkage mechanism.
They didn’t have this kind of equipment before Da Zhou, so it just didn’t come in handy.
If they need it, they don't even need a sample for a design like this. Just tell their equipment department in Dazhou and they will have the manpower in place and they can get it for you on the same day.
After the equipment was in place, Shi Lei quickly arranged it, and at the same time he did not forget to check the situation at the extension section.
They just arrived yesterday. Although the three hundred dwarf militia brought by Wojin gave them a sufficient labor force, they could only build a little infrastructure in such a short time.
In fact, this is the result of their overnight work.
Shi Lei was not particularly worried about the defensive line, but the situation on the extended section undoubtedly made him feel the pressure. Once they are attacked by greenskins at night, the defensive facilities are not complete and they have to bear the impact of vision. The pressure here will undoubtedly be great.
"Colonel Drogo, you will be stationed here with the centaur cavalry tonight, just in case."
Although this mountainous environment will also affect the actions of the centaur cavalry. Ability has a certain influence, but at least the centaur has night vision, and coupled with Drogo's strength at the Hundred Refining Realm level, if anything happens, he can only count on his ability to turn the tide.
After carefully completing the instructions, Shi Lei decided to take a break while it was still dark.
As a commander, he also has to keep himself energetic.
Closing his eyes, Shi Lei stopped himself from thinking about what happened at night, emptied his mind, and let his spirit get a full rest.
For them, taking a good rest is also a job in itself.
As soon as he closed his eyes, Shi Lei quickly fell asleep. It wasn't until the smell of food spread in the camp that he woke up.
Considering the battle at night, he specially asked the cooking squad to prepare dinner an hour in advance and let the soldiers eat their meals in advance, so that they would have more time to digest the food in their stomachs to avoid time affects the combat status.
It gets dark very early in winter. While I was eating dinner, it was already getting dark obviously.
Every camp along the entire defense line of Copperhearth Castle lit up torches and braziers to provide visibility.
Although the dwarves have night vision, their night vision abilities obviously vary. The dwarves are not particularly powerful in this area. Firelight can help them see more clearly.
Not to mention Dazhou, the soldiers of Dazhou now want to completely light up every piece of land! Now it depends on when the greenskins will launch the offensive!
The night was getting darker and the time was passing by, but there was no movement from the greenskins, which made many soldiers begin to wonder if they were worrying too much.
However, as commanders-in-chief, Shi Lei and Balai remained calm and patient.
Because they know in their hearts that if they want to launch a night attack, the latter half of the night is a better choice than the first half of the night.
No matter whether the attacked party can guess the time or not, this can further consume the opponent's energy and will.
Shi Lei did not keep all the soldiers awake to prepare for battle, but asked them to rest in a rotational pattern.
It is colder on the mountain late at night in winter than at the foot of the mountain. The cold wind whistles and makes a "whimpering" sound, like a ghost crying. The temperature drops directly to minus ten degrees, constantly torturing the will of the soldiers on duty.
The winter in the plain fortress is not as cold as the mountains here. This severe cold makes the Zhou soldiers wrapped in thick winter clothes a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Shi Lei had the cooking team cook ginger soup in advance to help the soldiers resist the severe cold.
Time came quietly into the night. As time passed, many soldiers even began to feel sleepy. At this moment, a rapid alarm sounded, causing Shi Lei, who was closing his eyes to rest in the camp, to suddenly open his eyes. eyes.
At the same time, the roar of the sentry came from the distant protective wall...
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"
