Chapter 812, overwhelm people with measurements

(Please watch in 10 minutes)

"Patriarch Xiong Dalin, you and your people have worked hard, leave the rest to me, you have a good night's rest, and tomorrow will depend on you."

After seeing that the ice and snow passage had been connected to the wall of Tiger King City, Ma Wanli immediately said to Xiong Dalin with a smile.

Although the ice and snow passage has been built, it cannot be put into use immediately.

Because the Ice Passage wants to bear the huge weight of the Bear Warrior, it is necessary to sprinkle water on the passage at night and freeze it.

And the tiger defenders in Tiger King City will definitely find a way to destroy the passage, so Ma Wanli, who could not participate in the siege, took the initiative to protect the ice and snow passage at night.

That night, more than a dozen bonfires were lit on the left and right sides of the ice and snow passage, dispelling the darkness near the ice and snow passage.

Thousands of centaur warriors armed with bows and javelins gathered around the campfire, and from time to time they looked up at the walls, guarding the snow passages.

At the same time, every hour, hundreds of werewolf warriors carry the melted snow water to reinforce the ice and snow passages.

In the face of the arrogant actions of the Condor Army, the tigerman defenders on the city wall just watched quietly and coldly, and had no intention of taking action.

As the night grew darker, many of the centaur warriors began to yawn unconsciously.

When the sky gradually turned white, the tiger defenders on the city wall still did not take any action.

Just when Ma Wanli led the centaur warriors who had had breakfast to take over, a large number of tiger warriors suddenly appeared on the city wall.

These tiger warriors were either carrying a bundle of dry wood or a wooden barrel in their hands, and when they came to the place connected to the ice and snow passage outside the city, they immediately threw their things on top of the ice and snow passage, and then threw the lit torches over as well.

The movement of the tigerman defenders was sudden, and by the time the centaur warriors under the city reacted, a raging fire had already ignited on the ice and snow passage.

Ordinary flames will be extinguished quickly when they encounter ice and snow, but at this time, the fire on the ice and snow passage has no intention of extinguishing at all, even if the ice and snow above it begin to melt in a large area, it cannot extinguish the burning flames.

The reason is simple, because the barrels thrown by the tigerman defenders are filled with fire oil, so it is impossible to extinguish the flame until the fire oil is burned out.

"Quick, put out the fire with dirt."

After seeing the fire in the ice and snow passage, Ma Wanli immediately shouted orders to the centaur warriors around him.

Although it is common knowledge to use soil to extinguish oil fires, the earth has completely frozen in this cold weather, so it is not so easy to get enough soil to extinguish the fire.

By the time the Centaur Warriors and Bear Warriors had managed to break up the frozen soil with the help of hammers, pickaxes and other tools, the Ice and Snow Passage that the Condor had managed to pour had collapsed.

Looking at the ice and snow passage that had been cut off by a gap of more than ten meters in the city wall, Ma Wanli and the others all had a blue face, and their hearts were full of unwillingness.

However, even if you are unwilling, it is useless, the ice and snow passage has been burned out, and this city will definitely not be able to be attacked.

"Come on, immediately send someone to the northwest and northwest directions to check the situation, and see if the ice and snow passages in those two places have also been burned."

Although Ma Wanli already had the answer in his heart, he still wanted to confirm it, and he was eager to be able to have a situation in case.

It's a pity that his wish is destined to be frustrated, because since the tiger people can come up with this countermeasure, they will definitely implement it in three directions together.

Soon, Niu Dashi, Zhu Dachang, Ivan and Wolf Invincible rushed to Ma Wanli's camp one after another.

After seeing the four people rushing over, Ma Wanli knew that a miracle could not happen.

After the six of them entered the tent, the anxious Zhu Dachang immediately spoke: "General Ma, the enemy of Tiger King City has found a way to deal with the ice and snow passage, what should we do next?" ”

"Guys, you didn't have any casualties there, did you?"

did not answer Zhu Dachang's question, Ma Wanli directly asked about the casualties.

"We haven't had a siege there, so there are no casualties." Zhu Dachang replied.

"The situation there is similar to that of the patriarch of Zhu Dachang, and there are no casualties." Niu Dashi replied.

Call!

Hearing that there were no casualties in the other two directions, Ma Wanli suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when the enemy was fighting fire, he thought of a terrible scenario, that is, if the enemy chose to set fire to the city while they were besieging it, then the besieging army would definitely suffer a lot of casualties, and the morale of the army would also suffer a huge blow.

It seems that the enemy has no bottom in their hearts, and they don't know if the oil fire can burn down the ice and snow passage, so they don't dare to take the risk, so that the siege of the Condor Army escapes.

However, this kind of lucky situation is unlikely to happen again, after realizing that the oil fire can burn the ice and snow passages, the tigerman defenders in the city will definitely choose to attack the city in the Condor Army or set it on fire.

The soldiers, covered in oil and fire, howled miserably as they ran around. Thinking of this scene, Ma Wanli couldn't help but feel a palpitation.

After pondering for a while, Ma Wanli suddenly looked at Xiong Dalin and the three of them and asked, "Three patriarchs, do you know the resource reserves in Tiger King City?" ”

Seeing that the three of them were puzzled, Ma Wanli immediately explained: "How much oil and firewood are generally stored in the city?" ”

After listening to Ma Wanli's question, Niu Dashi patted his forehead and replied, "The materials in Tiger King City are all transported by our Minotaur clan.

Firewood and fire oil are shipped once a month in the summer and every two months in the winter. ”

Ma Wanli asked again: "In other words, Tiger King City does not have the habit of storing fire oil and firewood, and these materials in the city are only enough for them for more than two months?" ”

After thinking for a moment, Niu Dashi replied, "Almost! The tigers in the city like to hunt redhorn goats and train saber-toothed tigers in the city, and they don't like to have too many useless things in the city, so they don't like to stock up on all kinds of supplies. ”

After hearing that the various materials in Tiger King City were very limited, Ma Wanli's eyes immediately lit up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation before us is that if we continue to build ice and snow passages for the siege, then the enemy will attack us with oil and fire while we attack the city.

Not only will the ice and snow passages be burned, but the soldiers we sent out to siege the city will also suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, it will be difficult for us to break through the ice and snow passage until the fire oil and firewood in the city are exhausted. ”

"So what are we going to do?" The anxious Zhu Dachang didn't wait for Ma Wanli to finish speaking, so he asked directly.

After stretching out his hand to signal Zhu Dachang not to worry, Ma Wanli said slowly: "Although the three ice and snow passages have been restrained by the enemy's fire attack tactics, if the enemies in the city want to destroy the ice and snow passages, they must consume some of the precious fire oil and firewood.

There is a limited amount of fire oil and firewood in the city, but we have ice and snow outside the city, so as long as we build enough ice and snow passages, the enemies in the city will lose sight of the other.

They could not have had so much oil and firewood, nor could they have so many men scattered everywhere on the walls.

Tiger King City is a square city, and we plan to build ice and snow passages on each wall, every fifty meters.

Such a large workload will definitely require a lot of manpower and materials, so I hope that the three patriarchs can mobilize more people to help us build the ice and snow passage.

In order to prevent the tigerman defenders in the city from jumping over the wall, I will send my cavalry to protect every team that builds the ice and snow passage, so the three patriarchs don't have to worry about the safety of their clansmen, and they can mobilize as many people as they can.

Once the ice and snow passages we have built to firmly surround the city, the Tiger King City will be within reach, because it is impossible for the tigerman defenders in the city to defend every passage. ”

The method proposed by Ma Wanli is actually a stupid method, but often this stupid method is basically unsolvable if it is really implemented.

Because this is equivalent to a conspiracy, Ma Wanli is bullying the limited amount of fire oil and firewood stored in the city, and clearly telling the enemy that I can build countless such ice and snow passages, and if you have the ability, you will burn it, and see if you burn it fast or if I can build it fast.

Yang Mou is often bullying people with power, so Ma Wanli is now relying on the strength of the crowd to bully the enemies in the city with few numbers and few resources.

After listening to the method given by Ma Wanli, Xiong Dalin and the three of them glanced at each other, and they all had some hesitation in their hearts.

In this ice and snow, if they mobilize a large number of ordinary clansmen to come over and participate in the war, then they will inevitably consume a lot of resources.

After all, hiding in a room and doing heavy physical labor is not the same as braving the cold to do heavy physical labor.

If they gather all the clansmen and then fail to break through the Tiger King City, then their food will be tight at the beginning of spring next year.

Because they now not only have to eat themselves, but also have to feed the 300,000 cavalry brought over by Ma Wanli, especially the wolf ridden by the 100,000 wolf cavalry, and the meat consumed every day is an astronomical amount.

If this battlefield continues for a long time, they will be crushed by the 300,000 cavalry of the Condor Army.

Seeing that Xiong Dalin and the three of them were hesitating there, and they hadn't spoken much, the wolf invincible snorted coldly, and said, "Three patriarchs, since you have chosen to submit to my Condor Empire, then don't hesitate."

What Your Majesty hates most is that kind of wall grass.

I don't care what your concerns are, but I want to tell you. If you want to quit now, all your previous efforts will be in vain.

If His Majesty Ning Yuan knew that you were half-hearted, then you would never want to enter the inner circle of the Condor Empire.

If you want to force us to withdraw from the Tarim Basin, then when our Majesty personally leads the army, the entire Tarim Basin will be left behind. ”

The words spoken by Wolf Invincible were very heavy, and even brought a cold murderous aura in the end.

After hearing the threat of the wolf being invincible, the three of Zhu Dachang immediately glared at him.

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder in the camp tent suddenly became stronger, Ma Wanli immediately became a peacemaker.

"A few, a few, all of them are discouraged.

General Wolf was also in a hurry, so his tone was a little heavier, and he asked the three patriarchs not to mind. ”

After seeing Zhu Dachang and the three of them sit down again, Ma Wanli suddenly changed his words and said, "Three, although the words of the wolf general are not listened to, they are all for your good.

I know what the three of you are worried about?

It's nothing more than mobilizing too many clansmen to come over, which will consume a lot of your resource reserves, and you are worried that if Tiger King City fails to capture it in the end, when the food runs out, we will pat our butts and leave, and then leave you with a mess.

Rest assured, the three patriarchs, we won't do that kind of thing.

In order to let the three patriarchs put one hundred and twenty hearts, I will give you a bottom now.

Two months, only two months, whether we can break through the Tiger King City or not, there will be a flying legion of the Condor Army to support us.

I have already sent someone to report the situation here to His Majesty Ning Yuan, and ask His Majesty to send a flying legion to assist us in the siege.

It will take about two months for the Courier to come back and forth, and then our Flying Legion will come to our aid with the Courier.

As for the various materials consumed by our 300,000 troops here, the three patriarchs don't have to worry, as long as the Hexi Corridor is opened, the materials of the Condor Empire will be transported here in a steady stream.

And when the ice and snow melt, the Junggar Basin will also support us with a batch of food resources in time, so the three patriarchs don't have to worry that we will eat up your food and make your people hungry. ”

After listening to Ma Wanli's assurance, Niu Dashi and the three of them discussed in a low voice for a while, and finally Niu Dashi said: "Actually, we are not half-hearted people, but we are related to the fate of the whole clan, so we have to be cautious."

Since General Ma has promised so, then it will not be authentic if we hesitate any longer.

General Ma, we believe in your character and the strength of the Condor Empire, so we will accompany you to gamble on this one.

After a while, we will send people back to gather our men, and except for some necessary people who are left behind, other clansmen who can work will come to Tiger King City to help you build the ice and snow passage.

The fate of our three clans and even the entire Orc Race in the Tarim Basin is all in the hands of General Ma, and I hope General Ma will not disappoint us. ”

After seeing the flickering eyes of Niu Dashi and the other two, Ma Wanli immediately understood the meaning, and he smiled and assured the three of them:

"Three patriarchs, please rest assured, your dedication to the Condor Empire, I Ma Wanli has seen it, I will definitely truthfully report everything that happened here to His Majesty Ning Yuan, no one can take away your credit."

"That's right, our Condor Empire has clear rewards and punishments, and our own people will never rob our own people of their own merits, so the three patriarchs can put one hundred and twenty hearts."

After Ma Wanli finished guaranteeing, Wolf Invincible also gave a guarantee.

After seeing Ivan on the side also nodding, Niu Dashi and the others suddenly relieved their hearts.

"Let's go, old bear and pig, go back and gather people."
