Chapter 854: Telling a Lie

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

They held sharp cavalry spears, wore armor, and rode on strong wild boars covered with bristles. In the surprised eyes of the Great Zhou Cavalry, they showed quite amazing charging ability.

The remaining Goblin Wolf Cavalry were quickly swept away by them, but these wild boar riders from Tonglubao did not stop their actions, but turned around and rushed towards the green-skinned big guys who were rushing here.

Although these wild boar riders are short in stature, they are not small in strength. Once the momentum of the charge is brought up, it is also full of lethality.

At the same time, the large army of Tonglubao also successfully arrived at the periphery of Yuancheng.

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

Blocking with a shield wall, combined with the spears in the hands of the spearmen, the wildly burning fire pit outside the city gate, and the smashing of wooden boulders on the wall, a triple blow was formed.

If they continued with this momentum, with the Goblin Wolf Cavalry and some of the big fools already killed by them, the remaining greenskins, without the support of follow-up troops, really had little chance of winning, and a complete defeat was only a matter of time.

But they obviously had no interest in waiting.

Outside Yuancheng, the infantry troops of Tonglubao deployed in formation, wearing leather armor and holding heavy crossbows.

After stepping on the pedals used to fix the heavy crossbow, they quickly pulled the heavy crossbow open with their sturdy arms.

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

These crossbow arrows shot by the heavy crossbows had extremely amazing penetration power, and when they hit the greenskins, a splash of blood instantly appeared.

The stimulation of pain made the greenskins quickly notice the enemy behind them.

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

With roars, the attacked greenskins rushed towards the dwarves who had already formed a battle array in the rear without thinking.

Faced with such a battle, the dwarves were not panicked 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 very fast. Almost at the moment of switching, the heavy crossbows in the hands of the dwarves were raised again, the triggers were pulled, and a new round of offensive broke out!

The dwarves were undoubtedly experienced in facing these greenskins.

They arranged the formation and fired alternately to ensure that they could launch continuous fire suppression on the greenskins throughout the whole process.

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

Even if there were any unexpected situations, they could quickly intervene and stabilize the situation in the first place to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

At the same time, Shi Lei received the news as soon as the incidents outside the city occurred, and then hurriedly climbed up the wall to confirm the latest battle situation.

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

Shi Lei was not sure where the dwarves outside the city came from, but what was certain was that the other party and the greenskins were not in the same group.

As the party attacked by the greenskins, they naturally could not slack off at this time.

"The shield soldiers and spearmen continued to line up to block the city gate, and all the archers went up the wall!"

After receiving the order, the archers rushed to the wall at the fastest speed and shot the greenskins outside the city. Under the double attack of the Great Zhou and the dwarves, 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 didn't understand the origin of the group of dwarves outside the city.

"Colonel, what should we do now?"

Obviously, after a short cheer, the soldiers under his command soon realized this problem.

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

"Let the troops inside the city stay alert, and the first squad will follow me out of the city."

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

Of course, there is another more important point that their cavalry troops are still outside, which also made Shi Lei have to go out.

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

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

These dwarves are very short, only about 1.3 meters tall, and riding on the back of the wild boar can't reach the height of their horseback.

But they are definitely not thin at all.

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

On this basis, their extremely thick hair, coupled with the beard that can almost be braided, makes their whole image look even wilder.

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

After approaching, Shi Lei also sincerely expressed his gratitude to the dwarf riding on the back of the wild boar in front of him.

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

"I am Warkin Copperforge from Copperforge. You actually recognize us?"

"I know a little bit."

The other party also spoke the common language passed down from the old civilization period. There was no language barrier, which made Shi Lei relieved.

In fact, in the simple conversation just now, he lied. He didn't know what dwarves were.

He was able to say this word because the greenskin outside the city shouted this word before, and on the other hand, 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 it 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 is also very simple, just to prevent the other party from thinking that he knows nothing and looking down on them.

So far, the effect is quite good.

"If possible, I want to know the purpose of your visit, and why these greenskins appeared in our Great Zhou territory and attacked our Great Zhou city!"
