Ye Qiong made a rough estimate in his mind, and when it got dark, he walked down from the defensive wall.
Ronling was still directing the defensive measures from above.
Night has fallen, and I am destined to have no sleep tonight.
In order to prevent the eyeless monster from launching a surprise attack later in the night, the soldiers from the coal mine base are now coming.
Coupled with the supporting warriors from the tribe, the number of troops in the cave has now reached 200.
The main weapon is the longbow. The longbows in the tribe and the black longbows that Ye Qiong got back are all scattered on the defense wall. Whether they are archers, warriors, or second-line warriors, they can pick up bows and arrows. shoot.
Calculated based on the current strength of the troops, the number of eyeless monsters that rush out each time can be controlled as long as they are within five hundred, and there will be no casualties. The soldiers can shoot them into a hornet's nest directly on the defense wall. .
However, as night fell and the line of sight was blocked, the side of the defense wall suddenly became tense.
Light is an absolutely indispensable thing for human beings. In order to provide light sources on and in front of the defense wall, the soldiers lit a bunch of smaller bonfires on the wall every 100 meters.
And between the bottom of the city wall and the cave over there, a round of lantern arrows will be released every three hours.
It seems that the strategic materials here will be consumed very quickly, and the tribe needs to seize the time to produce lamp arrows and grease lamps.
These jobs belong to the women in the tribe. Although it is not too strenuous physical work, it is not easy either.
Ye Qiong didn't plan to sleep tonight. If a large number of eyeless monsters rushed out of the cave, effective defense would need to be organized in the shortest possible time.
War is cruel, especially wars with alien races. As the saying goes, those who are not our race will have different hearts. Now the tribe can only defend itself and wait for those eyeless monsters to rush out of the cave.
The battle here will slow down the tribe's city construction in the future, and Ye Qiong must find a way to solve it.
In the final analysis, the population base is still insufficient.
In the evening, Ye Tianlong personally brought a team over. The number of troops in the cave here was close to 300.
There is no problem in stopping those eyeless monsters tonight. Now, even if the hole is completely dug out by the eyeless monsters, and they rush out in the densest number, the soldiers here can handle it. come over.
The black armor that Ye Qiong brought back from the waterfall cave over there has now been put on by the frontline soldiers.
He looked much more powerful and domineering, a bit like the ancient general that Ye Qiong had in his previous life.
With the armor, the soldiers can ensure their own safety to the greatest extent when they make progress with those eyeless monsters.
The night is dark, and the soldiers are still nervously expanding their fortifications. Facing those eyeless monsters, the tribe's current strategy is to build fortifications at night and take turns to rest during the day. When encountering a snowstorm, You can shrink your defense line.
If those eyeless monsters choose to attack in a snowstorm, it will be quite troublesome.
After Ye Qiong had dinner, he started discussing with Ye Tianlong, Ronling, and several captains here about the garrison above.
The key point is what to do when encountering a blizzard. At that time, no matter it is day or night, let alone fighting, soldiers are always faced with the possibility of being frozen to death when they go out against the cold wind.
Ye Qiong thought of a way, that is...
Fire attack!
In fact, it is very simple. There happens to be a certain distance from the edge of the cave exit. Ye Qiong plans to cover that section of the ground with a layer of burning coal during the snowstorm.
If the wind is blowing toward the inside of the cave, you can also try to smoke some smoke. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas.
But I guess the effect won't be too great. There must be other vents or other entrances and exits inside. Otherwise, it would have been suffocated long ago after being sealed for so long.
In short, there is definitely no problem with using coal. It can burn for a long time, as long as it is put in regularly.
It's not necessary now. The tribe just needs to control the number of those eyeless monsters. If they don't come out, it will be a time bomb. If they come out in full force one day, it will be troublesome.
Consume them slowly to achieve a state of balance. If the meat of the eyeless monster could be eaten normally, it would not be a bad thing for the tribe.
Everything was peaceful in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, there was movement from the cave. More than thirty eyeless monsters took advantage of the darkness and rushed out of the cave. If you stood on the defense wall, you couldn't see it. When they arrived at the cave, the more than thirty eyeless monsters did not realize that there was light in front of them. If they had eyes, they would bypass those light arrows, but unfortunately, they could not see them.
The moment he passed by the area illuminated by the light arrows, he was discovered by the soldiers on the defensive wall, and the sirens immediately rang.
The soldiers who were piling stones on the city wall at night immediately put down the stones in their hands and came to the fighting area on the side facing the cave. They picked up the long bows placed aside and, under the light of distant lights and arrows, , wooden arrows were shot at the more than thirty eyeless monsters.
Although the sight was very bad now, the large number of warriors could not be resisted. After two rounds of volleys, all the eyeless monsters that rushed up this time fell to the ground.
There were bursts of miserable screams.
Ye Qiong also came to the city wall, picked up the black long bow and wooden arrows on the city wall, and just shot two arrows lightly.
After that, he stayed on the city wall until dawn. The whole night, Ye Qiong did not sleep, but he was not sleepy now and was in good spirits. Looking at the cave, Ye Qiong was thinking about this. Arrange the appropriate number of troops.
If you invest too much, it will be a complete waste with the number of eyeless monsters popping up now. But if you invest less, then once the number of eyeless monsters increases, casualties will inevitably occur. This is a more difficult balance. things.
After thinking about it, Ye Qiong decided to continue to observe for two days and continue to test. If he and Daidu stayed here, even if some more powerful creatures appeared inside, they would be able to cope with it and wait until they figure it out. Once the rules are established, you can decide how many troops to deploy here.
