The last few days of the savage 34th in mid-January were very difficult for players in the Northern Expedition League in Henan.

Since the Condor Heroes invaded Henan and blocked and isolated all the cities, the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance who were besieged in the city have fallen into anxiety and panic.

They don’t know what the situation outside is like and whether other cities are still safe.

Especially those players who have encountered the Condor Army ice hockey lockdown, they have been frozen in the city by countless ice hockeys, and every minute and every second is a torture.

As the food, wood and oxygen in the house continue to decrease, many players never wake up after going to bed.

In the end, players would rather endure hunger than ignite the fire to keep warm.

They survived tenaciously, hoping that reinforcements could arrive as soon as possible.

As time passed, reinforcements were still gone, and the players' fighting spirit began to gradually collapse.

In the end, many players who really couldn't stand it anymore chose to press the suicide button and gave the thin oxygen under the ice to their companions who needed them even more, hoping that they could persevere until the end.

......

After all the game time of the day ended, the Northern Expedition Alliance, which learned that the Henan region was attacked by a large-scale attack by the Condor Heroes, immediately held an emergency meeting.

In addition to the senior leaders of the Northern Expedition Alliance, many player generals in Henan were temporarily summoned.

After all the participants of the meeting arrived, Ye Ziqing immediately signaled that the player generals from various cities in Henan would take the lead in speaking.

"Dear Presidents, I came from Lankao City, the first city to be attacked by the Condors when we were there.

This time, the Condor Heroes brought a large number of trenchers, and those trenchers surrounded the city and still had plenty of surplus.

Through careful observation, we found that the Condor Army did not carry any stone bombs.

We thought the Condor Army wanted to build snowballs, and then used a catapult to shoot snowballs into the city, and used the snowballs to bury Lankao City.

I thought it would be a long process at that time. After all, it would take a certain amount of time for the Condor Heroes to build qualified snowballs.

However, I soon realized that I was very wrong.

Because the Condor Heroes had no intention of building snowballs.

When those seemingly honest Baikal seals appeared near the trencher, a large number of ice hockey pucks soon appeared there.

Then, the Condor Army's catapult began to shoot ice hockeys into the city, and it continued to shoot for two days and two nights before stopping.

I don’t know how many ice hockey pucks those Baikal seals made in total. I only know that after a day and a night, all the people hiding in the house began to have some difficulty breathing.

When I wanted to go out to check the specific situation, I realized that the doors and windows of my house had been frozen to death.

When I came to the second floor and looked out through an unmistakable glass window, I realized that the entire Lankao City had become an frozen world.

The streets were filled with broken ice hockey wrecks everywhere on the roofs, and the wreckage was already frozen with the buildings in the city.

When I saw the situation outside, I felt desperate inside.

Because at this time the Condor Army's catapult was still shooting ice hockey pucks into the city.

When the Condor Army's catapult completely stopped, the thickness of the ice layer on the street had reached five or six meters, and everyone in our city was frozen in the house by the Condor Army.

Although we still have a lot of food, wood and charcoal in the house, due to the ice layer, the oxygen in the house is getting less and less, so we dare not make fire and make rice.

So we barely maintain it every day by chewing some food that can be eaten cold.

We also tried to knock on the ice on the roof to survive, but the ice was too thick and we couldn't knock it.

In no way, we could only barely survive by relying on the thin oxygen below the ice.

Since the entire city is under the ice, the fresh air flowing in from the cracks outside is not enough for so many people to survive.

So every day, a large number of players die from suffocation.

In the end, I had to let some players who couldn't hold on to commit suicide on their own initiative, and then give the already small amount of oxygen to others.

I thought that in this way, at least some people could survive until the end.

Unfortunately, on the 19th day, I and several players around me still couldn't wake up.

After all the game time of that day ended, I carefully asked in the group who was still alive in Lankao City, but no one answered.

All the players in Lankao City were killed. Even if there are still survivors in the city, they are probably some indigenous soldiers with strong willpower!”

"Those Baikal seals are really that powerful?"

After the player city guard of Lankao City described the situation there, Dongfang Ming immediately asked.

"I don't know whether it's awesome or not, but I know that there are a large number of Baikal seals outside the city, and I can't count them at all.

Moreover, they make ice hockey very fast. As long as there is enough ice and snow or water nearby, they will continue to create ice hockey.

If it weren't for those Baikal seals, we wouldn't have been so miserable."

The player Chengshou smiled miserably, his eyes full of helplessness and reluctance.

"Okay, the city guards who are reporting below should not talk about how the enemy attacked the city. You will talk in detail about how many people are left in their respective cities and how many days can they last."

Seeing that no one had any problems, Ye Ziqing immediately signaled to the next player city guard to report the situation.

"There are still nineteen players in the city who survived, but their current condition is very bad, and it is probably not possible to last for a few days."

"All players in Ningling City were killed."

"There are still 425 players in Shangqiu City, and they can still last for three to five days."

"All players in Yucheng City were killed."

"All players in Tuocheng City have been killed."

"All players in Sui County have been killed."

"All players in Qi County were killed."

"Kaifeng City is being attacked by the Condor Heroes.

Because the city of Kaifeng is large, the Condor Heroes have been attacking for three days and three nights in a row.

We need support now, otherwise we will follow the footsteps of the cities ahead for two more days if the Condor Heroes attack like this for two days."

......

In just ten days, more than ten cities in Henan were hit by the devastating ice-collapse of the Condor Heroes. Only the larger Kaifeng City has not yet ended its battle.

And even worse, since the entire eastern Henan plain has been blocked by the Wolf Cavalry Legion of the Condor Empire, they did not know about these unfavorable situations until now.

After looking at the heavy-faced people, Ye Ziqing said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, although many cities are still in our hands now, except for those cities, the entire eastern Henan Plain has been declared lost.

The situation in Henan now is even worse than what we have learned.

Because we don’t know how many troops the Condor Empire dispatched this time.

I don’t know how many wolf cavalrymen are wandering on the eastern Henan plains.

I don’t know how many trenchers the Condor Army can work continuously without damage.

I don’t know how long those Baikal seals can work continuously.

If we want to rescue Henan, these unknown situations will seriously threaten the safety of our reinforcements.

So, for Henan region, should we give up or mobilize the army to provide emergency assistance immediately, please express our opinions first, and then we raise our hands to vote."

As soon as Ye Ziqing finished speaking, Dongfang Ming immediately stood up. He glanced at everyone and said, "I think there is no need to rescue the cities on the eastern Henan plain.

First of all, we don’t know how many troops the Condor Heroes dispatched this time, and we don’t know the composition of their troops.

Our garrisons in Henan are now blocked in the city by the Wolf Cavalry Legion of the Condor Heroes.

If we want to rescue Henan and relieve the siege of those cities, then we must mobilize troops from the Nanyang Basin and even Hubei.

Now we still have an army in Nanyang, where Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu can send a Xuan Armored Cavalry and a Divine Arm Army.

If it were in other seasons, these three legions could still compete with the Condor Heroes that invaded Henan.

But in this snowy season, marching and logistics supplies alone will be enough for us to drink a pot.

What’s more important is that these three legions are currently the only three mobile legions located on the north side of the Yangtze River.

If they make any mistakes, what will we use to defend the Nanyang Basin next?

If the Condor Heroes Army were allowed to attack the Nanyang Basin, wouldn’t our defenders in Zhuxi, Shangnan and other places be attacked from both sides?

The reason why the Condor Army is unable to grasp the Nanyang Basin and Hubei is mainly because their army cannot break through our defenses in Zhuxi and Shangnan.

If there is any loss in the Nanyang Basin, let the Condor Army sneak attack the defenders stationed in these two places from behind.

In isolation and helplessness, the defenders in these two places will definitely not last long.

Once these two places are lost, the Condor Heroes Army located in Hanzhong and Guanzhong will immediately enter Nanyang along these two channels and then enter Hubei.

When the three armies of the Condor Heroes Empire attacked Hubei together, what should we use to defend?

You should know that apart from the Han River, there are no natural dangers in Hubei.

For the Condor Heroes, as long as the passage in Zhuxi County is opened, Xiangyang City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, will immediately become the Maginot line of defense for our China.

If we want to defend Xiangyang City to the death, then the Condor Heroes Army only needs to block the Han River, and the troops we sent to defend Xiangyang will eventually fail due to exhausting ammunition and food, and even the Condor Heroes Army does not even need to attack the city.
