"Junyi, please go again and check out how many Stonemen are coming to Dahuang City." Lin Yi called Zhang He over and gave him instructions.
"Yes, lord, I'll go right away." Zhang He called out the black dragon, jumped up, and flew towards the East Wilderness Forest.
In the harsh winter, even the black dragon was unwilling to move much. Fortunately, Zhang He's black dragon was summoned by the mount summoning card. If he really tamed a black dragon, he would definitely not be able to summon it at this time.
After watching Zhang He leave, Lin Yi told the generals about the divinity points they could obtain by killing the Stonemen, and also told them the functions of the divinity points.
"From this point of view, the statement in the record is credible. Every stone man may really be the incarnation of Aslandi." Li Ru said thoughtfully.
"The divinity point is very important. We must kill as many stone humans as possible. This is related to the rise of the middle-level forces in the army." Lin Yi was rarely serious.
The current situation is very difficult, but it is a great opportunity. The number of stone people outside the city has exceeded 20,000. The eight deep sea giants summoned by Xu Shu failed to kill more than 3,000 stone people in the end.
Ji Yi has already thought about it. If he can't bear it, he can only use all his divinity points on Captain Suzaku. In fact, Ji Yi is more inclined to use his divinity points on captains and captains in the military establishment. On the corps commander.
This can greatly improve the overall combat capability of the army and greatly reduce military casualties.
This time Zhang He went to the Eastern Wilderness Forest, and it took him more than two hours to return.
The Zi Yao Knights have returned to the military camp to rest, and three thousand Suzaku captains have replaced the Zi Yao Knights to resist the Stonemen.
In more than two hours, more than 2,000 stone humans were killed. The efficiency was extremely low. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
"Junyi, how is the situation?" Seeing Zhang He return, Lin Yi hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"My lord, all the stone people have gone to the northeast. I made a special trip there. That should be the camp of the ogre family. It has been occupied by the stone people at this time, and their number exceeds 300,000!"
"Three hundred thousand!" Lin Yi exclaimed.
"Is there a large mineral vein near the ogre clan's camp?" Lin Yi thought of this possibility.
"Afraid of attracting the attention of the main force of the Stonemen, I didn't dare to get too close. The specific situation is still unclear. We need to send elite cavalry to investigate to find out." Zhang He continued.
"Jun Yi did a great job. Since the Stonemen no longer have follow-up reinforcements, who among you has a way to eat all the more than 20,000 Stonemen in the city!" Lin Yi immediately asked.
Although the current pace is very stable, it is destined to take a long time, and eventually more than 5,000 stone people will look at the city and sigh, and have to retreat, which is likely to attract more stone people.
If Ji Yi pursues, he will be in danger again. Those below the Earth Knight level will definitely not be able to leave the city to pursue, and the number of people above the Earth Knight level is too small.
After fighting for such a long time, Lin Yi finally knew how thick-skinned and thick-skinned these stone people were.
It was difficult for the generals under his command to kill them without using fighting spirit. The stone men climbed up the city wall, and the generals shot them down. A few had their heads chopped off directly, and a few were unlucky and fell to death.
More often than not, nothing happens and the siege continues, otherwise the efficiency is so slow.
Because they don't know how many of these stone people there are, Wang Yue and others have always relied on physical strength to fight, leaving a back-up just in case.
"Lord, I have a plan." Xu Shu stepped forward and said.
"Yuan Zhi, please tell me if you have any plans." When Lin Yi heard that Xu Shu had a solution, he was overjoyed and asked hurriedly.
"My lord, you can take all the big cauldrons in the city, dig out the ice and snow and put them in the cauldron, let the fire melt the ice and snow, and the boiling water will be released under the city. The Stonemen will destroy themselves without attacking."
"Remember, don't splash it, it's best to tilt it down." Xu Shu just finished speaking, and then he added another sentence when he remembered something.
"I'll go! Yuan Zhi, if you thought of this clever plan, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Lin Yi slapped his thigh, how could he have defended the city if he had done this earlier!
The weather is 40 to 50 degrees below zero, and when boiling water comes near, it is estimated that it will freeze instantly, turning the stone people into ice people!
"Lord, this plan is very cumbersome. I didn't know how many enemies were coming earlier. Our army has more than enough defense, so it's not worth spending a lot of time. Now the enemy is already there. It's a great opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop!" Xu Shu smiled.
Explained to Lin Yi.
"Okay! Just wait and guard the city wall, and I'll bring people to prepare!" Lin Yi patted Xu Shu on the shoulder and hurriedly walked down the city wall.
Order a Suzaku Archer in the military camp and collect iron pots in Dahuang City. The fuel can be easily solved. Dahuang City is rich in wood reserves and coal mines.
After working for more than an hour, Lin Yi returned to the city wall with wood, coal and 300 cauldrons. It was more troublesome to collect the ice and snow. There was basically no snow, and there was a huge layer of ice.
It is harder than stone, and it took Wang Yue and other generals to take action to take enough ice cubes.
Several simple tents were set up on the city wall, and coal and wood were set on fire.
Because the temperature was too low, even if the tent was set up, the ice cubes would melt very slowly. Lin Yi finally understood what Xu Shu meant by being cumbersome.
Three hundred cauldrons sounds like a lot, but there are more than 20,000 stone humans under the city, and it may not be enough just once.
After half an hour, they finally got 300 large pots of hot water. Ji Yi didn't know whether it was boiling or not, so he quickly called the generals, matched them in pairs, and poured the hot water in the pot down the stone people.
At this time, Ji Yi finally understood why he couldn't use splashing water. A group of purple knights moved too much, and the water poured out did not reach the body of the stone people, and it turned into ice mist and dispersed.
Three hundred pots of hot water fell down, and a large number of stone people fell stiffly under the city. Ji Yi did not delay, and immediately put the prepared ice cubes into the pot and started to boil the second pot of hot water.
The Stonemen below the city paused briefly and immediately began to attack the city. The first round of three hundred pots of hot water did not have much impact on them. After all, they were originally Stonemen and had no body temperature, so they would not feel cold.
The battle continued, with round after round of hot water pouring on the Stonemen. Finally, when seven or eight rounds passed, stonemen who were frozen and unable to move began to appear under the city wall.
Everything has two sides. With the physique of the Stonemen, Xu Shu's strategy may not be easy to implement as long as his fellow tribesmen come to the rescue. The main reason is that the number of cauldrons is too small and cannot be accomplished overnight.
But just because the Stonemen were not afraid of severe cold, they did not know how to rescue their fellow tribesmen when they were frozen. After three or four rounds of hot water fell down, there were thousands of Stonemen trapped in the ice below the city.
The Stonemen who are still continuing to attack the city are moving slower and slower. The most important thing is that they themselves don't know what's going on. Their obsession with the ore drives their actions.
The Stonemen had only one idea: climb over the city wall, go to the mines, and eat!
