After some rewards, Luo Ji thought that they had worked hard all the way, and had already asked someone to prepare a place for them in Mirror City in advance, so that they could go down to eat and rest first.

Zhou Yi, on the other hand, continued to stay and reported to Luo Ji the details of this expedition to the North...

After hearing the details, Luo Ji frowned slightly and seemed a little worried, "Winter is coming soon. Is it possible to wipe out the group of hyenas hiding deep in the mountains and forests of the North within a month?"

If this group of hyenas cannot be eradicated and remain there, they will always be a hidden danger. The only way to take action is now, otherwise once winter comes and the mountains are covered by heavy snow, it will be difficult for him to use troops against the Northland again.

At this moment, Zhou Yi was undoubtedly deep in thought. After thinking for a while, he slowly spoke...

"From a general perspective, there are only two ways..."

"The first way is to lure the snakes out of their holes. Winter is about to come, and these hyena people should also need to stock up on food. We can set up an ambush outside, and then find some animal carcasses to lure them out."

"It's just that the group of hyenas just massacred two tribes of barbarians, so I guess there will be no shortage of them for the time being..."

Having said this, Zhou Yi's voice obviously paused, and even the expression on his face showed a trace of unnaturalness. After two seconds, he uttered two words slightly stiffly, "Food."

Luo Ji was silent when he heard this. Beasts eat people and people eat beasts. It seems that no one can say anything about it. For the orc tribes who surrendered to him, cannibalism was naturally prohibited, but the hyenas who did not surrender to him were naturally prohibited.

People, he can't control that.

But in fact, the five orc tribes under Li Yuanjie's command, let alone the elephants and tauren, are basically vegetarians, while the werewolves, foxes and kobolds have no chance of eating humans.

The reason is that there were originally no humans in Li Yuanjie's orc civilization, and when he later invaded other civilizations, the captured humans were extremely important human resources.

Its meticulous work such as the production and research and development of orc civilization basically relies on these human captives. How could Li Yuanjie allow his orcs to treat such important humans as food? Not to mention that it was also a human in the past, and it would definitely have some changes in its heart.

twist.

In this way, they had no chance to eat humans in the first place, and after surrendering to Luo Ji, of course they had no chance...

Coming back to the topic, Zhou Yi undoubtedly saw Luo Ji's attitude and simply continued, "So, if you use animal carcasses to lure them, they may not take the bait. After all, as of now, these hyena people are quite cunning.

of."

There is no doubt that this method of luring snakes out of their holes has a slightly lower success rate and is too passive. Moreover, Luo Ji wants to eliminate the hidden dangers of hyenas before winter, so the efficiency of using this method is also a little too slow.

Zhou Yi, who realized this, spoke decisively again, "In this case, the only choice is to use heavy troops in the mountains and forests of the north!"

Luo Ji nodded in agreement with this answer, "What are your thoughts on the deployment of troops?"

After all, Zhou Yi had an experience of fighting against hyenas, and he had some experience. When faced with Luo Ji's question, he said in a leisurely manner, "Hyenas have rough skin and thick flesh. Using crossbows to deal with them is not effective."

Not bad."

"What else?" Luo Ji asked calmly while thinking about it in his mind.

"If there is anything else, please forgive me for saying frankly that the werewolf warriors under General Li Ke are not suitable for this battle."

Zhou Yi said this bravely, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. After all, it is a very taboo thing to criticize other generals behind their backs, let alone the person sitting in front of him is Luo Ji.

His Majesty the Emperor.

When Luo Ji heard this, he didn't seem too surprised. A flash of understanding quickly flashed in his eyes, as if he had expected it, "Continue..."

After taking a look at Luo Ji's expression, he couldn't see anything. With no choice, Zhou Yi could only bite the bullet and continue...

"Werewolf warriors can indeed move flexibly in mountainous areas, but when facing hyenas, a large number of frontal attacks are unavoidable. From the perspective of the general, the advantage of werewolf warriors should be in guerrilla warfare and assault warfare. In battles like this

, but it kills their innate advantages, so they can adapt to the terrain, but they are not adaptable to such an opponent."

"I think you have a suitable candidate in mind? Let's hear it."

Having reached this point, Zhou Yi let go. After hearing Luo Ji's words, he said quite simply, "Kobolds! The general thought that kobolds were more suitable and gave them halberds as weapons.

Serving as the front row, and supplementing the back row with crossbowmen, it should be able to effectively target the hyenas."

"But kobolds are not particularly honest."

As he spoke, there was a hint of helplessness in Luo Ji's tone. The key point of this battle was that he had to send out soldiers who were agile and able to adapt to the mountainous terrain. At the same time, they had to be physically strong enough to fight the hyenas head-on.

The bulky size of the tauren is obviously not up to standard. It's okay to let them respond for a while, but if they are allowed to seriously eliminate the hyenas, they will probably be beaten around by the opponent's speed.

The werewolf warriors under Li Ke were actually alternatives. As a long-time veteran of war strategy games, Luo Ji could tell what characteristics the arms fell into his hands and what kind of battles they were suitable for.

The kobolds are more suitable in all aspects, but as he said before, those kobolds are not very honest yet. If possible, Luo Ji doesn't want to send them out to fight in the short term, so as not to cause any accidents.

Come.

But looking at this situation, he seemed to have no choice. He didn't want to keep the hyenas in the northern mountains and forests for the winter. The longer they stayed, the greater the threat. It was better to eliminate the hidden dangers as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Luo Ji suddenly exhaled a long breath, "Well, wait for a while, I will get you a hundred crossbowmen, plus three hundred kobold halberdiers, and just in case, I will give you another

Ask Li Ke to take a hundred werewolf soldiers with him to protect your safety, with a total of 500 troops, and then bring Jie Zichuan with you for your command and control. If this trip to eliminate the hyenas fails..."

"If it fails, I will be willing to die to apologize!"

Before Luo Ji could finish his words, Zhou Yi directly issued a military order.

The three hundred kobold halberdiers alone outnumbered the hyenas on the opposite side. This was enough to show Luo Ji's determination to wipe out the hyenas. If this failed again, Zhou Yi felt that he had no shame in living.
