Chapter 111: Water Defeats the Enemy
"Junyi, you go again, and find out, how many other stone people are coming to the Great Wilderness City." Lin Yi called Zhang He over and instructed him.
"Yes, my lord, I'll go now." Zhang He summoned the black dragon, turned over and jumped up, and flew in the direction of the Great Forest of the Eastern Wilderness.
In the harsh winter, even the black dragon is reluctant to move more, but fortunately, Zhang He's black dragon is summoned by the mount summoning card, if you really tame a black dragon, you will definitely not be able to summon it at this time.
Seeing Zhang He leave, Lin Yi told the generals about the fact that he could obtain divinity points by killing the stone people, and also told them about the function of divinity points.
"In this way, the claims in the record are credible, and every stone man may indeed be the embodiment of Aslandi." Li Ru said thoughtfully.
"The divinity point is very important, we have to kill as many stone people as possible, this is related to the rise of the middle level of the army." Lin Yi is 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, and the eight deep sea giants summoned by Xu Shu have not been able to kill more than 3,000 stone people in the end.
Lin Yi had already thought about it, if he couldn't resist it, he could only use all the divinity points on Captain Suzaku, in fact, in Lin Yi's heart, he was more inclined to use the divinity points on the captains, chiefs, and captains in the army.
In this way, the overall combat capability of the army can be greatly enhanced, and the casualties of the army can be greatly reduced.
Zhang He went to the Great Forest of the Eastern Wilderness this time, and it took more than two hours to return.
The Purple Knights have retreated to the barracks to rest, and the three thousand Suzaku captains have replaced the Purple Knights to defend against the Stone Clan.
In more than two hours, more than 2,000 stone people were killed, and the efficiency was extremely low, but fortunately, there were no casualties.
"Righteousness, what's the situation?" Seeing Zhang He returning, Lin Yi hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Lord, the Stone People Clan has all gone to the northeast, I made a special trip, it should be the camp of the Ogre Clan, which has been occupied by the Stone People Clan at this time, with more than 300,000 people!"
"Three hundred thousand!" Lin Yi exclaimed.
"Is there a large ore vein near the Ogre Clan's camp!" Lin Yi thought of this possibility.
"For fear of attracting the attention of the main force of the Stone Man Clan, I didn't dare to get too close, the specific situation is not clear, and I need to send an elite horse to investigate." Zhang He answered.
"Junyi has done a good job, since the Stone Man Clan has no follow-up reinforcements, who of you has a way to eat all the more than 20,000 Stone Man Clan under the city!" Lin Yi immediately asked out loud.
The current rhythm, although very stable, is destined to take a long time, and in the end, there will be more than 5,000 stone people who look at the city and have to retreat, which is likely to attract more stone people.
If Lin Yi pursues, he will be in danger again, below the Earth Knight Steps, there will definitely be no talk of chasing out of the city, and the number of people above the Earth Knight Stairs is too small.
After such a long battle, Lin Yi knew how rough and thick these stone people were.
The generals under his command, without using the fighting spirit, it is difficult to make a kill, the stone people climb the city wall, the generals will shoot it down the city wall, a few are directly beheaded heads, a few are unlucky and fall to death.
It's more that there is nothing to do, continue to siege the city, or how can the efficiency be so slow.
Because they don't know how many of these stone people there are, Wang Yue and the others have always relied on physical strength to fight, leaving a back hand, just in case.
"Lord, I have a plan." Xu Shu stepped forward and said.
"Yuan Zhi, if you have any plans, tell me quickly." When Lin Yi heard that Xu Shu had a way, he was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
"The lord can take the cauldron in the city, dig up the ice and snow and put it in the pot, so that the fire will melt the ice and snow, and the boiling water will be discharged under the city, and the stone people will not attack themselves."
"Remember, don't splash, it's best to go down at an angle." As soon as Xu Shu finished speaking, he remembered something and added.
"I'll go! Yuan Zhi, you thought of this clever plan, why didn't you say it earlier! Lin Yi slapped his thigh, what kind of city would he have guarded if he had done this earlier!
In the weather of minus forty or fifty degrees, boiling water is coming, and it is estimated that it will freeze in an instant, which will directly turn the stone people into the ice people!
"Lord, this plan is very cumbersome, I didn't know the enemy earlier, our army has more than enough defense, it is not worth the expense, at this time the enemy army is already there, it is a good time to annihilate it in one fell swoop!" Xu Shu smiled and explained to Lin Yi.
"Good! You wait to guard the city wall, and I will lead people to prepare! Lin Yi patted Xu Shu on the shoulder and hurriedly walked down the city wall.
In the barracks, a Suzaku shooter was ordered, and the iron pot was collected in the Great Wilderness City, and the fuel was very easy to solve, and the Great Wilderness City had more timber reserves and coal mines.
After working for more than an hour, Lin Yi returned to the city wall with wood, coal mines and three hundred cauldrons, and it was more troublesome to take this ice and snow, there was basically no snow, and it was a huge thick layer of ice.
It was stronger than stone, and it was Wang Yue who waited for the general to take enough ice.
A number of simple tents were set up on the city walls, and coal and wood were lit and burned.
Because the temperature was too low, even if the camp tent was built, the ice would melt very slowly, and Lin Yi understood what Xu Shu meant by cumbersome.
Three hundred cauldrons sounds like a lot, but there are more than 20,000 stone people in the city, but it may not work once.
In half an hour, he finally got the hot water of three hundred cauldrons, and Lin Yi didn't know whether it was boiling or not, so he hurriedly called the generals, matched them in pairs, and poured the hot water in the pot down the Shiren clan.
And at this time, Lin Yi finally understood why he couldn't use the splash, a group of Ziyao Knights moved too much, and the water poured out did not reach the body of the Stone Man Clan, and directly turned into ice mist and dispersed.
Three hundred pots of hot water fell, and a large number of stone people stiffened and fell under the city, Lin Yi did not delay, and immediately put the prepared ice cubes into the pot and began to boil the second pot of hot water.
The stone people under the city stopped for a short time, and immediately began to continue the siege of the city, the first round of three hundred pots of hot water did not have much impact on them, after all, they were originally stone people, and they did not have any body temperature, so they would not feel cold.
The battle continued, round after round of hot water poured on the body of the stone people, and finally, when seven or eight rounds passed, the stone people who were frozen and incapacitated began to appear under the city walls.
Everything has two sides, with the physique of the Shiren clan, as long as the same clan comes to the rescue, Xu Shu's strategy may not be easy, the main reason is that the number of cauldrons is too small and cannot be achieved overnight.
But it is precisely because the stone people are not afraid of the cold that they don't know how to rescue the same people when they are frozen, and three or four rounds of hot water fall, and the number of stone people who are frozen under the city has reached thousands.
The stone people who are still continuing to attack the city are moving more and more slowly, and the most important thing is that they themselves don't know what's going on, and the obsession with the ore in their hearts drives their behavior.
The stone people had a thought, climbed over the city wall, went to the ore vein, and ate!
