Chapter 1165 Night Attack
The man shouting ‘Enemy attack! ! ! ’ The voice came from far to near, and soon spread throughout the entire defensive camp! Every surrounding camp was quickly awakened by the sound of enemy attacks.
Wrapped in a thick winter coat, Shi Lei was not afraid of the severe cold and walked as fast as he could, braving the cold wind in the middle of the night and climbing to the top of the wall.
At this point in time, the relevant troops are already on standby outside the protective wall.
The mountain where Copperhearth Castle is located was originally a rocky mountain with very little vegetation. After the war, it became even less. One advantage of this is that it has a wide field of vision.
Even under the darkness of night, it would be difficult for the green-skinned large-scale troops to completely cover their whereabouts.
Behind the protective wall, the archers of Dazhou bent their bows and set arrows, and a round of fire arrows swept out. At the same time, the blasting vehicles set up outside the protective wall had also been replaced with special weapons. Oil bombs.
Different from explosive bombs, just like its name, it is filled with high-concentration kerosene, which will explode as soon as it hits!
Of course, if it can explode, it can explode. This kerosene bomb does not exist as a lethal weapon within the Da Zhou army, but is a 'functional weapon' with an appropriate amount of configuration.
Sometimes where you need to light a fire remotely or provide a light, this kerosene bomb can come in handy. In terms of lethality, it is far inferior to the explosive bombs specially developed for this purpose.
At this time, Shi Lei cooperated with the fire arrows and used kerosene bombs, undoubtedly to spread the fire and achieve the purpose of lighting.
At this moment, the mountain was covered with flames, which greatly reduced the pressure on Da Zhou's troops who were troubled by their vision.
As soon as Shi Lei, who was standing on the wall, opened his 'Eye of Insight', he immediately began to personally grasp the opportunity and direct the battle.
During this period, wooden carts specially used to drop wooden beams have been lined up outside the protective wall. The equipment support obtained from the dwarves allows them to no longer need to carry out precise aiming and directly use wooden beams. Just launch a blanket attack and that's it.
After all, no one knows how many ogres the greenskins hide in this night.
The mountainous environment that Copperhearth Castle currently relies on forms a strong restraint on the ogre's advance.
The core idea is to keep the ogres away from their protective walls in the first place.
On the other hand, once the opponent successfully approaches the protective wall, based on the ogre's size and destructive power against the protective wall, it will definitely form a fierce battle! Even the situation of the war may change!
"Prepare explosive bombs!"
"Let go!!!"
In an instant, the demolition vehicles also lined up behind the wooden vehicles launched further bombardments against the advancing greenskin troops. The violent roar completely tore apart the tranquility of the night, and the crazy war quickly spread to Every battlefield.
At the same time, it was obvious that Balai could not stay in the rear camp with peace of mind. After all, the area that was being attacked by the greenskins tonight was not guarded by their Copperhearth Castle troops, but They are human troops from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After experiencing the daytime battle, Balai no longer had any prejudice against the strength of the Zhou army, but it was an indisputable fact that humans did not have night vision, which made him have to worry. Tonight's battle.
For this reason, he even transferred more troops from other camps to the camp next door to Da Zhou's army, in order to prevent Da Zhou's troops from being able to withstand it as soon as possible. Allocate troops to fill defense gaps.
But for now, the performance of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty is pretty good. At least they did not lose their position due to vision problems.
You know, facing a powerful enemy like the Greenskins, many human troops within the coalition were unable to do this before, and they would even fall into chaos. However, what Balai didn't know was that although their human troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have night vision, they often fought against enemies who had night vision.
To a certain extent, they have a lot of experience in this area.
The new recruits may be a little nervous, but as long as the veterans who form the framework of the unit can stabilize, the situation will not be too chaotic.
However, it is undeniable that this night battle has indeed increased the pressure on them.
Not to mention anything else, they have already dropped more explosive bombs than during the day, which means that in this battle, they will pay a greater cost than during the day!
Judging from the current battle situation, it is considered worth the money.
At least they have shown strong suppression power against the green-skinned troops at this stage.
At this moment, not to mention the dwarves as allies, the greenskins who were launching the offensive were a bit stunned.
This situation is a little different from what they thought.
It was promised that humans don't have night vision, so they can use the darkness of night to rush in and kill them all at once?
At the same time, the extended section of Copperforge's defense line...
A night attack has been launched, and there is no reason for the greenskins not to penetrate here.
In the past, the dwarves of Copperhearth Castle had too much time to take care of themselves. After shrinking the defense line, this area was basically allowed to shuttle at will. It was not until they reached a certain depth that they could encounter the garrison arranged by the dwarves.
However, the greenskin troops who arrived nearby in the dark tonight soon discovered that the situation had changed.
The only way to pass was actually blocked by defense facilities!
A garrison camp was set up directly behind the facility, and a large number of torches and braziers illuminated the area.
As soon as they arrived nearby, a hail of arrows fell directly from the sky.
This attack came so suddenly, something that had never happened before, and the Goblin Wolf Cavalry who were opening the way in front were completely unprepared. They were unable to dodge and were immediately swept by the arrow rain. , and paid the price in casualties.
“Exposed! Disperse quickly!!”
Before he could finish his words, the second and third rounds of arrow rain were already coming!
Located at the back of the camp, the centaur cavalry led by Drogo now played the role of archers, each one showing off their continuous shooting skills.
Because Copperforge was not fortified here at all before, when this group of greenskins came over, their entire action pattern was in pursuit of efficiency and was completely unobstructed, allowing the centaurs to easily discover it. After noticing their existence, they directly gave the Goblin Wolf Cavalry the warmest welcome with a dense rain of arrows!
At this moment, the screams of the goblin wolf cavalry were simply pleasant to the ears of the centaurs, making them quickly bend their bows and set up arrows to fire more vigorously.
In comparison, the big guys with rough skin and thick flesh are basically not afraid of this baptism of arrows. When they see the action exposed, they no longer hold back and directly go 'WAAAGH! ' With a sound, he was about to rush through their gate.
Little did they know that at this time, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty had already picked up their spears and individual crossbows, blocking the pass and waiting for them!
