Chapter 854: A Lie

Just as the Goblin Wolf Cavalry lurking in the dark caught the Great Zhou Cavalry off guard, at this moment, the cavalry of Tonglu Fort also played the same role.

They held sharp cavalry spears, wore armor, and rode on sturdy wild boars covered with bristles. In front of the astonished eyes of the Great Zhou cavalry, they demonstrated quite amazing charging ability.

The remaining Goblin Wolf Riders were quickly wiped out by them, but the Boar Riders from Copperforge did not stop there. Instead, they turned around and rushed towards the green-skinned big guys who were rushing towards them.

Although these boar riders are short in stature, they are very strong and can cause great damage when they charge.

At the same time, the large army of Tonglu Fort also successfully arrived at the outskirts of Yuancheng.

At this moment, the Great Zhou troops in the city gate passage had maintained their formation and pushed their battle line to the city gate.

The shield wall was used to block the attack, and the spears in the hands of the spearmen, the madly burning fire pit outside the city gate, and the smashing of wooden beams and boulders on the top of the wall formed a triple attack.

If they continue at this pace, with the Goblin Wolf Cavalry and some of the big guys on the periphery already killed by them, the remaining greenskins will have no support from follow-up troops and will really have little chance of winning. Total defeat is only a matter of time.

But they obviously had no interest in waiting.

Outside Yuancheng, the infantry troops of Tonglubao formed up in formation. They were wearing leather armor and holding heavy crossbows.

After stepping on the pedal used to secure the heavy crossbow, he quickly pulled the crossbow open with his strong arms.

Then the crossbow arrow was released and the trigger was pulled. With a series of sounds of breaking through the air, a whole row of crossbow arrows suddenly shot towards the greenskins blocking the city gate.

The crossbow arrows shot from heavy crossbows had extremely amazing penetrating power. When they hit the greenskins, blood splashed instantly.

The pain stimulated the greenskins to quickly notice the enemies behind them.

"WAAAGH!!! Dwarves! Damn Copperforge dwarves! Kill them!! WAAAGH!!!"

Amid roars, the attacked greenskins rushed without hesitation towards the dwarves who had already formed their battle array in the rear.

Faced with such a situation, the dwarves did not panic at all. After finishing shooting, the heavy crossbowmen in the first row quickly retreated to the back row. At the same time, the heavy crossbowmen in the back row who had finished loading the crossbows switched to the front row.

The whole process was carried out very quickly. Almost at the moment the switch was completed, the dwarves raised their heavy crossbows again, pulled the triggers, and launched a new round of offensive!

The dwarves are undoubtedly experienced in facing these greenskins.

They arranged their formations and fired alternately to ensure that they could provide continuous fire suppression on the greenskins throughout the entire process.

At the same time, the boar riders also quickly moved to the flanks.

Even if any unexpected situation occurs in the middle, they can quickly intervene and stabilize the situation in the first time to prevent it from getting out of control.

At the same time, as soon as any incident occurred inside or outside Yuancheng, Shi Lei received the news immediately, and then hurriedly climbed to the top of the wall to confirm the latest battle situation.

In that short period of time, Shi Lei's emotions could be said to have gone through a complete ups and downs.

Shi Lei is not sure where the dwarves outside the city came from, but what is certain is that they are probably not in the same group as those greenskins.

As the party being attacked by the greenskins, they naturally couldn't just sit there and do nothing at this time.

"The shield soldiers and spearmen continue to line up to block the city gates, and all archers go up to the top of the wall!"

After receiving the order, the archers rushed to the top of the wall as quickly as possible and started shooting at the greenskins outside the city. Under the double attack of the Great Zhou and Dwarf troops, the fierce battle around Yuancheng ended earlier than expected.

This made Shi Lei feel a little relieved, but he obviously didn't dare to relax completely. They still hadn't figured out the origins of the group of dwarves outside the city.

"Colonel, what do we do now?"

Apparently, after a brief cheer, the soldiers under his command quickly realized the problem.

Shi Lei had already been thinking about this when both sides launched a pincer attack on the greenskins outside the city, and now he had already reached a conclusion in his mind.

"Have the troops inside the city stay alert. The first team will follow me out of the city."

No matter what their purpose was, the other party finally helped them defeat the greenskin troops.

Of course, the more important point is that their cavalry troops are still outside, which forces Shi Lei to go out.

Due to the special situation of the front city gate, Shi Lei also led a team of subordinates out of the city through the side gate.

As the distance got closer, Shi Lei's gaze once again looked at the other person.

These dwarves were very short, estimated to be only about 1.3 meters tall, and even when they rode on the backs of wild boars, they were still not as tall as their horses.

But they have absolutely nothing to do with the word 'thin'.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In fact, compared to humans, these dwarves are not thin at all, but even too strong. Their solid muscles make their limbs look particularly sturdy.

On this basis, their extremely thick hair, coupled with beards that can almost be braided, make their entire image appear even wilder.

"I am Shi Lei, the commander-in-chief of the New North District of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Thank you all dwarf friends for your help!"

After getting closer, Shi Lei sincerely expressed his gratitude to the dwarf riding on the wild boar's back.

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the leading dwarf.

"I am Vol'jin Copperforge from Copperforge. How come you recognize us?"

"I know a little bit."

The other party spoke the common language passed down from the old civilization period. There was no language barrier, which made Shi Lei breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, in the brief conversation just now, he lied and said he didn't know anything about dwarves.

He was able to say this word, on the one hand because the greenskins outside the city had shouted this word before, and on the other hand because when he climbed up the wall and observed the battle situation, he found an opportunity to use the "Eye of Insight" to observe the dwarves outside the city.

His 'Eye of Insight' could not see through the leading dwarf, but could see through ordinary dwarf soldiers.

And it was through the attribute panels of these dwarf soldiers that he learned the word "dwarf".

The purpose of Shi Lei doing this at this time was very simple, which was to prevent the other party from thinking that he knew nothing and looking down on them.

So far, the results are quite good.

"If possible, I would like to know why you are here, and why these greenskins appear in our Great Zhou territory and attack our cities!"
