The camp site of the Western Army was not chosen too far away, and there was not a good location nearby.

Gawain had no choice but to set up the camp behind a hill twenty or thirty kilometers away.

After nightfall, Gawain, who was sitting in the camp, carefully looked at the set of armor in his hand, which was ripped off the body of a dwarf heavy armored infantryman.

After he put his hand into the inside of the heavy armor and fumbled around for a while, the unique touch made Gawain's face reveal a hint of clarity.

"I see. No wonder the group of dwarves stiffened for a while and then recovered after being affected by the lightning current. So that's it..."

To put it simply, John Thrall coated the inside of these heavy armors with a rubber-like substance.

That thing is an insulator to a large extent. As long as the thunderstorm spell is not a direct hit, and it only hits the armor and shield of the dwarf heavy armored infantry, there is this layer of insulator between them, and the burst of electricity will be there.

To a great extent blocked.

Even if the blockage is not complete, it is already out of the fatal level. At most, it will be paralysis for a while, or the movements will be stiff for a period of time.

John Thrall's move indeed disgusted the junior lightning mages to a certain extent.

As their magic skills are still weak, it may be difficult for them to make any achievements against this method.

At the same time, John Salna was quite smart enough to plate that layer of material on the inside instead of on the surface.

If it is plated on the surface, then if a few fireballs are thrown at it, no matter what the substance is, it will definitely be burned cleanly.

After confirming this information, Gao Wen undoubtedly had to sort out his subsequent attack plan.

There was no words for the rest of the night, and with a mentality of pursuing victory, Gawain decisively led his troops to attack the enemy again early the next morning.

After seeing the siege firepower of the Western Army yesterday, Kaladin Black Iron clearly realized that defending the city was a dead end. Only by going out of the city to attack could he gain a chance of victory.

This made the smell of gunpowder on the main battlefield particularly strong.

At this moment, Guo Zhen, who rushed into the battlefield, basically didn't do what he thought. After shouting, "Fight again!", he directly fought with Kaladin Black Iron.

In yesterday's battle, it could be said that the two of them were inseparable, and no one could do anything to defeat the other. This time, Guo Zhen's fighting spirit was undoubtedly aroused.

As a dwarf, Kaladin Dark Iron also has a bad temper, and coupled with his unyielding nature, how can there be any reason to give in?

In this regard, Du Yuanzhi, who was standing at the back, didn't care.

Anyway, the only thing he told Guo Zhen at the beginning was to entangle the fierce general on the opposite side, and leave the rest to him.

Under the mobilization of Du Yuanzhi, the well-trained human infantry quickly changed their formations and specifically targeted the opponent's formation. This style of fighting made the dwarf army on the opposite side inexplicably uncomfortable.

This uncomfortable feeling is something you will never experience with an army of orcs.

On the main battlefield, soldiers from both armies were fighting round after round, while Gawain, who was located on the periphery of the battlefield, continued to hold up his telescope for his observations.

Their western army has a clear advantage in strength.

If we continue to fight at this momentum, for at least two more days, the opponent's military casualties will definitely be suppressed to the point where they can no longer leave the city to attack.

Gawain calculated this matter clearly in his mind.

However, on the third day of the siege, something unexpected happened...

As the gates of Horn City rose again, loud shouts of killing suddenly erupted, and a huge army of dwarves came out of the city.

At a glance, the total number of troops was more than doubled from yesterday!

"Damn! Could it be that reinforcements from the opposite side have arrived?!"

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Gawain showed a bit of disbelief on his face.

The sudden increase in troops on the opposite side undoubtedly affected the morale of the Western Army to a certain extent.

This situation obviously disrupted Gawain's original plan to a certain extent.

After a simple battle, Gao Wen hurriedly ended the third day of siege. After retreating to the camp, he decisively called Du Yuanzhi, Guo Zhen and other generals to his commander's camp for discussion.

When it comes to reinforcements from the opposite side, as a general who charges on the main battlefield, Guo Zhen is undoubtedly the one with the most say.

"The reinforcements on the other side don't feel right."

"What's wrong?"

Gawain asked directly.

After pondering this for two seconds, Guo Zhen said with certainty...

"To put it simply, unlike the regular army, there is no tacit understanding between each other. When charging on the battlefield, the whole state is completely overly tense. Even when colliding with our soldiers, the first reaction is not to attack...

"

Having said this, the expression on Guo Zhen's face clearly showed a hint of subtlety.

"But I was shocked. To be honest, this kind of low-level mistake would not be made by our regular army of all civilizations, even the first-time soldiers on the battlefield."

"Making such mistakes only shows that they have not received strict and formal training."

"Other than that, it's just my personal feeling. There were so many more troops on the opposite side, but when we were fighting on the battlefield, we didn't feel a significant increase in pressure. Moreover, during the fight with me,

The general on the opposite side is always in a solemn state, with no trace of joy at the arrival of reinforcements."

If Luo Ji were here, he would definitely sigh that Guo Zhen has really grown up over the years.

He is no longer the reckless man who used to pick up an ax and just do it.

If he can detect these during the battle, it means that he is thinking and observing.

This information is undoubtedly useful to Gao Wen and Du Yuanzhi.

"Lord Goblin King, according to the general, the defenders on the opposite side are most likely recruited from the city's militia."

As soon as Du Yuanzhi said these words, the originally tense atmosphere in the camp suddenly became much more relaxed.

They also have a military service system in their civilization. Therefore, as military officials, Guo Zhen and Du Yuanzhi know better than anyone else what the combat effectiveness of the militia is.

In the final analysis, how strong a civilization's military power is depends on the regular army, while militia and reserve forces are only a last resort.

Especially this kind of temporarily recruited militiamen. They may usually be farmers, vegetable vendors, or waiters in restaurants. After being recruited, they were directly thrown into the battlefield without even receiving a short recovery training.

.

When troops are piled up like this, no matter how high the numbers are, they are still "virtual".

To put it bluntly, it is vulnerable.

Therefore, if the other party is only at this level, then they don't need to be too nervous and simply stay vigilant.
