Splashing water turns into ice. In the cold winter, whether it is boiling water or biting cold water, as long as it is poured on the ground, it won’t take long to completely condense into ice.

After the outer fortress group was captured by the Condor Heroes, in order to delay the Condor Heroes' siege progress, the demon guards in Hancheng poured water from the well directly on the ground outside the city.

The snow mixed with cold water quickly formed ice at subzero temperatures.

By the time the main force of the Condor Heroes advances outside Hancheng City, it is already an ice world.

Whether on the ground or on the city wall, there is a layer of ice hanging.

Under the sunlight, the irregular ice surface is chaoticly facing the light in all directions, making people unable to look directly.

Looking at the ice world in front of him, Ning Yuan suddenly felt a little cold on his forehead.

Ning Yuan had no good idea for the enemy's fortifications arranged with the help of the great power of nature. He could only order the soldiers to clear the ice on the ground first.

If the ground is not cleaned up for a day, they will not be able to attack the city because people can't stand firmly on the slippery ice surface and attack the city on the ice. Isn't that asking for death?

After the hammer and the iron picks were urgently transported from the rear to the front line, the powerful orc warriors immediately started to fuck with their arms. In just half a day, they cleared out all the places far away from the city walls.

Just as everyone was about to clean up the ice below Hancheng the next day, the demon guards stationed in Hancheng gave a vivid physics class to the Condor Army outside the city, teaching them what it means to splash water into ice and what it means to live forever.

"Your Majesty, something is not good, the enemy on the top of the city is watering the city wall."

After dinner, Ning Yuan lay down early, but he had just lay down, and the scout on the night came to him in a hurry.

Hearing the scout's report, Ning Yuan rubbed it and came out of the warm bed.

After putting on his coat, Ning Yuan immediately led a team of guards to Hancheng.

When he arrived outside Hancheng, he was so angry that he bit his steel teeth tightened by the scene in front of him.

At this time, the walls of Hancheng were brightly lit, and countless demon warriors were constantly transporting buckets of well water to the city wall, and then pouring them down directly along the ice layer outside the city wall.

Since there is ice everywhere under the city walls and water cannot penetrate into the ground in time, they begin to flow down the ice to the lower part.

The winter nights are colder than during the day, and cold water begins to freeze as it flows.

In this way, part of the water turned into ice on the original ice layer, making the ice layer thicker.

The other part of the water continued to flow forward, and soon flowed to the ground cleared by the Condor Heroes during the day, and then re-formed into ice there.

As cold water kept pouring down from the city wall, soon the land outside the city turned into an ice world again.

The ground that the Condor Heroes finally cleared during the day was covered with ice again. As more and more water fell from the city walls, the ice surface was even spreading around.

Seeing that the water was flowing to his feet, Ning Yuan had no choice but to return to the military camp with his guards.

The demon guards in Hancheng told the Condor Heroes outside through practical actions that it would be a waste of dreaming to break the ice, either stepping on the ice to attack the city or get out as soon as possible.

As long as the wells in the city are not exhausted, their water-splashing and ice-making tactics will not stop.

Hancheng is located east of the Yellow River, and there are several small rivers nearby flowing into the Yellow River from west to east. There are rich groundwater resources here. Unless it suffers from a drought that has not been encountered in a thousand years, there will never be a shortage of water here.

So if Ning Yuan could not think of any effective solution, then he would really not be able to attack the city this winter.

Sitting in the camp for a night, Ning Yuan could not come up with any good solutions.

Faced with this great power of nature, it is too difficult to go against the will of heaven with human power alone.

Now Ning Yuan finally knew why the ancients didn’t like to march and fight in the cold winter, because in the cold winter, their main enemy had quietly transformed from humans to nature.

If they want to defeat the enemy, they must first overcome the obstacles brought to them by nature.

This is what Hancheng is now.

The main enemy of the Condor Army is no longer the demon guards in the city, but the cold weather here and a series of natural phenomena caused by the cold weather.

If you want to attack the city, the biggest difficulty now is how to clear out all the ice outside the city before the enemy splashes water and turns into ice, and do not give the enemy the opportunity to continue to use the power of nature.

If the defenders in the city are not demon legions, then Ning Yuan can also send a flying legion to force the attacking city.

However, the defenders in the city were demon legions, so this immediately became an unsolvable problem.

"Why."

After finding it was already dawn outside, Ning Yuan shook his head, sighed heavily, and then slowly walked out of the tent.

After washing his face with cold water and taking a little energy, Ning Yuan took a baking pancake from the guards, biting it absent-mindedly, while walking towards Hancheng unknowingly.

When he arrived at a place seven or eight hundred meters away from Hancheng, Ning Yuan stopped.

Looking at the ice layer under his feet, and then looking at the ice-covered city wall in the distance, Ning Yuan fell into deep thought.

......

"The enemy is determined to turn the entire city into an ice city. Now that we can't get in, they can't get out. Do you think they are not afraid of being trapped in the cocoon and trapping themselves to death?"

"What do you know?

Since the enemy dares to act like this, it means that there must be enough food in the city.

And this should be their delaying strategy, and its purpose is to prevent us from breaking the city before reinforcements arrive."

"Well, Lao Wu is right. This is indeed the enemy's delaying strategy.

Think about it, the tactics of this ice city can only be used in the cold winter. When the flowers bloom and the temperature rises, the ice will directly turn into water.

It’s obvious that the enemy wants to drag through this winter first.”

"So Is there any solution?"

"If you want to have it, your Majesty will not have to sit in the camp for a night.

Haven't you seen His Majesty and the generals frowned this morning?

I guess we can only temporarily siege Hancheng, and we can only attack the city after the ice is turned on."

"Oh, there is nothing we can do about it. Who said that God is the most awesome in this winter?

Let the enemies in the city live for a few more months. As for reinforcements, I'm afraid they will never wait for this life."

"These bastards can live for a while longer. I miss those troops who came to rescue them. They encountered two ace legions of our Condor Empire, hahaha..."

"Shh, let's just say a little bit, don't you see Your Majesty pondering?

If you interrupt your Majesty’s thinking, be careful that your Majesty will punish you to go to Siberia to mine.”

......

While Ningyuan was pondering, a team of soldiers responsible for transporting deicing tools chatted quietly while resting.

Although their voices were very light, they were still heard by Ning Yuan with sharp ears.

At the beginning, Ning Yuan didn't care too much about the soldiers' unnutritional chats. However, when several people mentioned the word "Ice City" intentionally or unintentionally, a light suddenly flashed through Ning Yuan's mind.

"Ice City, Ice City, since it cannot fight against the power of nature, why not follow the trend and turn Hancheng into an ice city?"

"Anyway, the enemy's reinforcements are unable to break through the blockade of the Barbarian Legion and the Dwarf Rock Sheep Knights. Why bother to break the city immediately?"

After thinking through all this, a complete plan immediately appeared in Ning Yuan's mind.

"Come here, I'll give a pot of stew to several soldiers from that team. I'll say I'll treat them to food, hahahahahahahaha."

After thinking about the plan to break the city, Ning Yuan's face suddenly became happy. With a heart-wrenching love, he directly praised the soldiers who inspired him.

......

After returning to the camp and having a big bowl of stew happily, Ning Yuan arranged for his subordinates to prepare various utensils and supplies.

At the same time, in order not to make Hancheng's enemies suspicious, Ning Yuan continued to send a team of orc warriors to clear the ice.

Looking at the Condor Heroes outside the city who were working hard to clear the ice layer, the demon warriors on the city wall couldn't help but reveal their mocking gods.

These 25 people, you are so full that you are full, but please don’t implicate others, okay?

md, I have to go to fetch water and water the ice overnight tonight.

In this way, the Condor Heroes cleared a large piece of the ice layer outside Hancheng under the mockery of the demon warriors in Hancheng.

As the sky got darker and after a day of hammering, the soldiers of the Condor Heroes withdrew from the camp, while countless torches were lit on the top of Hancheng. After dinner, the demon soldiers began a new round of ice-watering operations.

"Water, water, the more you water, the more you will feel better!"

Ning Yuan, hiding in the dark, looked at the busy shadow on the city, while secretly mocking him.

While the demon warriors in Hancheng were busy watering, teams of Condor soldiers were busy behind the snow pile they had made during the day.

In order to clear out the open space to build the camp, the Condor Heroes piled a lot of snow on one side of the camp.

Originally, these snow and broken ice were of no use, but after Ning Yuan came up with a solution, they immediately became an important strategic resource.

During the day, the Condor Heroes had already built a large number of stoves near the snow piles.

As the sky gradually became darker, they first filled a lot of charcoal near the stove, and then put the huge bath bucket that had just been driven on the stove.

These bath barrels have wooden bucket walls, and the bottom of the bucket is temporarily transformed from a large iron pot.

After the soldiers placed the big barrel on the stove, they immediately lit the firewood under the stove.

As the stove fire started, the soldiers began to pour ice and snow into the wooden barrels.

After encountering the ice and snow, it began to melt gradually.

As more and more melting ice and snow were melting, the water level in the barrel began to rise continuously.
