In winter, ice and snow are a season that is not suitable for marching and fighting, and is also very unsuitable for siege.

Because the temperature difference between day and night is too large, if you are not prepared enough, you will suffer from a lot of frostbite and may even die of sleep.

Even if they are well prepared, soldiers cannot hold weapons for a long time under extremely low temperatures.

Therefore, after the snow covers the earth, people generally do not carry out large-scale military activities.

However, there are always exceptions in everything, and many orcs with natural weapons are not listed.

Many orcs living in cold northern regions have thick hair, which is even more resistant to freezing than humans and elves.

Since they have natural weapons that can kill people, even if they cannot use iron weapons in the cold winter, they still have strong lethality.

The orc races that have lived in Xinjiang for a long time are all races that can fight in winter.

After Ma Wanli successfully persuaded Xiong Dalin and the other two, the Bears, the Taurus and the Wild Boars, who lived in the Tarim Basin, immediately took action. The warriors of the three tribes mobilized by Xiong Dalin and began to converge to the Tiger King City in the middle of the basin.

Although the cavalry legion of the Condor Army was not very helpful in siege, the strong centaur warriors could help the warriors of the three tribes transport various supplies.

As the centaur warriors began to act as a powerful laborer for transporting materials, soon, 90,000 warriors from the three tribes appeared in the east, west and north directions of the Tiger King City.

Considering that there were only 10,000 Tiger Guards and more than 10,000 Tiger Kings' families in the Tiger King City, Ma Wanli and others chose the tactic of attacking together on three sides.

There are 30,000 three powerful orc warriors in each direction. They launch an attack on Tiger King City at the same time from three directions. If the defenders in Tiger King City want to protect the city, they must choose to divide their troops to defend.

Even if the tiger people in the Tiger King City are soldiers, they can only have up to 7,000 people in each direction.

Thirty thousand to seven thousand, plus the three tribes dispatched the strongest warriors in the tribe, and there were only 10,000 tiger guards in the Tiger King City, which were considered elite, and the other 10,000 people were basically women, children and the elderly, so the siege had an absolute advantage.

Now everything is ready, but the east wind is missing.

Although Ma Wanli and others had never participated in the siege, they had never eaten pork and had they seen pigs run?

Although the army of the three tribes has an absolute advantage in terms of number of people, the tall walls of Tiger King City have always been an insurmountable obstacle.

From ancient times to the present, the defenders have occupied a place with a good geographical advantage, and they can defeat enemies several times their own with the help of tall city walls.

Therefore, it is not that the number of siegeers is more than the number of defenders, so they can definitely break through the city.

To break through a strong city, you not only need to have a large number of warriors, but also have advanced siege equipment. Otherwise, no matter how many people the siege are, it will be difficult to shake a tall city.

Originally, Ma Wanli believed that there would be no shortage of advanced siege equipment in the Tarim Basin, because Hu Xiaotian had already used the siege tower when attacking Xiaoguan.

However, after seeing the simple siege ladder carried out by the warriors of the three tribes, Ma Wanli and other generals of the Condor Heroes immediately frowned.

"Captain Xiong Dalin, are you going to use these ladders to attack the city?" After finding Xiong Dalin, Ma Wanli immediately asked the doubts in his heart.

Seeing Ma Wanli's frowning, Xiong Dalin immediately asked back: "What's wrong? General Ma, aren't these ladders working?"

"Why."

After sighing, Ma Wanli asked, "Can't the Linhai Empire build its own siege tower?"

After hearing Ma Wanli's question, Xiong Dalin immediately showed a bitter look on his face and replied: "General Ma, you don't know. Although Hu Xiaotian recruited a large number of other race craftsmen, those craftsmen have always followed Hu Xiaotian's army, and we can't see those craftsmen at all.

I'm not afraid of you to make fun of it. In the Linhai Empire, except for the tiger race, the biggest task of other races is mining, logging, herb collection and grazing.

We don't even have a decent weapon, let alone the siege equipment that can threaten Tiger King City.

Hu Xiaotian was worried that we would become unjust after we had weapons, so we had never touched any other iron weapons except for the mining pickaxe and logging axe.

If Hu Xiaotian treats us a little better, we will not submit directly to the Eagle Empire."

Xiong Dalin told Ma Wanli about the helplessness of other orc races in the Linhai Empire, which is also the reason why they surrendered without fighting so directly.

After hearing Xiong Dalin's explanation, Ma Wanli pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered to the centaur guard beside him: "Hans, immediately send two teams of cavalry to inform the people from the other two directions and ask them to temporarily postpone the siege.

By the way, let the two clan leaders Niu Dashi and Zhu Dachang come to us, and I thought of a good way to attack the city and discuss it with them."

After seeing the tall tiger warriors on the Tiger King City in the distance, he looked at the ladder in the hands of the bear warriors. Ma Wanli had no confidence in breaking the Tiger King City, so he decisively stopped the siege that was about to begin.

If these 90,000 orc warriors are regular troops of the Condor Heroes, then there is still a little chance of breaking through the Tiger King City. At worst, they can trade their lives with the enemy and fight attrition.

But if there were warriors of the three clans who were temporarily recruited, there would be no chance for it for a long time.

Because once their losses are too great, Xiong Dalin and the other two will definitely give up.

Therefore, if you want to break through the Tiger King City, you must first smooth out the advantages of the Tiger King City's walls. Otherwise, even if there are tens of thousands of people, it is impossible to break through the Tiger King City with those simple siege ladders.

After receiving the notice from Ma Wanli, Niu Dashi, Zhu Dachang, Iwan and Lang Wudi quickly rushed to the camp of the bear warriors.

After seeing that all the main personnel arrived, Ma Wanli immediately spoke: "Everyone, the walls of Tiger King City are tall and strong. If we only rely on those simple siege ladders, as long as there are hundreds of tiger warriors stationed on the wall, then we will not be able to break through Tiger King City."

Seeing that Niu Dashi and Zhu Dachang were not very happy when they heard their words, Ma Wanli explained with a smile:

"Don't be upset, the three clan leaders. I don't say this because I look down on the warriors of your three clans, but because the defenders have the advantage of the advantage of the geographical advantage, they can indeed fight more with less.

If it was on the plain, then 90,000 warriors from your tribes could naturally easily crush the 10,000 tiger guards in the city.

But if we attack from bottom to top, the enemies on the city wall only need a few people to stare at a ladder, which can easily prevent our warriors from climbing the city wall.

Because our warriors can only climb up one by one, while the enemy can beat us up three or four people together.

So if we want to break through the Tiger King City with the least loss, we must find a way to erase the advantages of the Tiger King City's walls."

After listening to Ma Wanli's explanation, Zhu Dachang, who was outspoken, immediately asked: "General Ma, we only have such simple ladders in our hands, and we can only make such simple ladders. Could anyone in your army create those tall siege towers?"

After looking at Zhu Dachang, Ma Wanli shook his head and said, "My army does not have that kind of talent, but even if there is no siege tower, I have a way to smooth out the advantages of the Tiger King City's wall."

Hearing that Ma Wanli had a solution, Zhu Dachang immediately said: "Since General Ma has a solution, please tell me quickly."

After clearing his throat, Ma Wanli said in a deep voice: "Everyone, it has just snowed heavily now, and the temperature outside is extremely low. We take a scoop of water outside and it will soon freeze into ice.

The method I thought of was to use the snow and ice everywhere around the Tiger King City to artificially build a passage that can directly lead to the city wall."

"The tiger warriors on the city wall won't watch us build ice and snow passages, right?" As soon as Ma Wanli finished speaking, Niu Dashi raised a question.

After pointing at Niu Dashi, Ma Wanli replied: "The enemy on the city wall will definitely not watch us build the ice and snow passage under the city wall.

However, as far as I know, the only long-range attack method for tiger warriors is flying axes, and each tiger warrior holds a limited number of flying axes.

So as long as we can withstand their first few waves of flying axes, after throwing all the flying axes, the tiger warriors on the city wall will have to watch us build ice and snow passages outside unless they take the initiative to attack.

It is very easy to prevent the attack of Tiger Warriors from flying axes. My Centaur Legion carries a lot of shields, and we can also use wooden boards and animal skins to make some simple anti-fly axe baffles.

I will send someone to send the shield to the three clan leaders in a while. The three clan leaders can select a team of warriors to form a shield formation specifically to defend against the enemy's flying axe attack."

"General Ma, this method, sounds very good, but we won't build the ice and snow passage you mentioned." Zhu Dachang said helplessly.

After seeing Xiong Dalin and Niu Dashi also looked confused, Ma Wanli patted his forehead helplessly and explained:

"This ice and snow passage is actually very simple. We just need to collect the snow nearby, compact it with wooden boards, and then pour some water on it.

In order to facilitate our soldiers to charge on the ice and snow passage, we need to build an ice and snow inclined surface away from the city wall, and then chisel the steps that are conducive to climbing on the slope.

Since the ice and snow passages will be very slippery, we also need to lay a layer of soil and licorice on it so that our soldiers will not slip when they start the charge.

Ivan, Lao Lang, do you two understand?"

Seeing that Xiong Dalin and the other two were still confused, Ma Wanli could only turn his gaze to his two colleagues.

"Understood."

"clear."

After receiving a clear answer, Ma Wanli nodded and said, "That's fine, everyone, let's go back to the area we are responsible for. The three of us will guide you to build ice and snow passages respectively.

After all the ice and snow channels in the three directions are built, we will launch an attack on Tiger King City at the same time, and strive to take down Tiger King City at one time."

......

The six people were divided into three groups. After each returned to the area he was responsible for, he immediately arranged his subordinates to collect ice and snow everywhere.

In winter, since the temperature is very low and the ice and snow are very sticky, they can be used as clay for walls.

After personally directing the soldiers to nail the wooden walls used to fix the ice and snow, Ma Wanli and others immediately ordered the soldiers to dump a large amount of ice and snow into the wooden walls, and then began to constantly compact, water, compact and water.

At the beginning, since the place where the ice and snow passage was built was a little far from the city wall, the tiger soldiers on the top of the city just watched quietly.

As the wooden wall continued to move towards the city wall, soon the soldiers who built the ice and snow passage entered the attack range of the tiger soldiers.

Under the command of the Tiger Man Guard, the Tiger Man soldiers immediately began to use flying axes to attack the siege soldiers who built ice and snow passages under the city wall.

The soldiers of the siege were prepared for this.

After seeing the actions of the tigers, the soldiers who were specifically responsible for defending against enemy ranged attacks immediately raised their shields and huge wooden boards.

As a sound of banging sounds came out, all the flying axes thrown by the tiger warriors were blocked by dense shields and wooden boards.

"Didn't you have enough food? Give me some energy!"

After seeing that the first round of flying axe attack did not achieve any results, the tiger guard on the top of the city immediately let out an angry roar.

After being scolded by his immediate boss, the tiger soldiers used all their strength to throw the flying axe again.

This time the flying axe attack was indeed much better than the last time, and many flying axes were firmly embedded in the wooden board.

However, facing the thick shield, the power of the small flying axes was only like this. Apart from the fact that they could shake the shield-holding soldiers' arms a little numb, they could not penetrate the dense shield array under the city wall at all.

After seeing that the second attack still did not achieve much effect, the tiger guards on the city wall were immediately angry and embarrassed. They helped to continue to throw flying axes at the enemies under the city wall.

Seeing that the tiger guards on the city wall had lost their minds, Ma Wanli and others laughed happily, because the flying axe attack they feared the most would soon be no threat.

As Ma Wanli expected, soon the flying axes on the waists of the tiger warriors were thrown away.

When the tiger warriors found that the flying axe was thrown away, they could only continue to watch the ice and snow passage built by the enemy approaching the city wall bit by bit.
