Compared to the frontal battlefield, Shi Lei was not worried that the greenskins would send heavy forces into the extended section. The environment and terrain there meant that it could not accommodate large-scale military operations.
Under these circumstances, they had also seized that pass and used the terrain to establish their defenses, allowing them to restrain the greenskins' forces even further.
The pass was only so wide. Even if you brought an army of a hundred thousand, you would still have to obediently line up and slowly make your way in.
The greenskins clearly were not foolish enough to do that. Their main forces were still concentrated on the frontal battlefield. The troops sent into the extended section for infiltration were, in plain terms, mainly there to harass the Copper Furnace Fortress garrison. Their purpose was to mess with the garrison's morale, not to send in a large force.
Instead, they ran straight into the Great Zhou troops, who had been lying in wait with weapons at the ready.
This was not their first time facing greenskin rookies. The soldiers immediately coordinated with the centaur troops, using a Spear Formation to seal off the pass. Without ogres or other heavy units, the limited number of greenskin soldiers had no chance of breaking through in a short time.
And even if something really did happen afterward, did they not still have the centaur troops to hold the line?
Never forget that Zhuo Ge was a martial artist at the Hundred Refinements Realm. Fighting a small force like this was precisely when the combat value of a Hundred Refinements Realm martial artist could be displayed to the fullest!
Over in the extended section, the greenskin troops had been caught completely off guard and, utterly unprepared, were suppressed from beginning to end.
