Chapter seven hundred and thirty, the frozen city
"emission!"
As the flag bearer on the command tower waved the flag in his hand, the engineers responsible for manipulating the catapult immediately pulled down the switch, and then hundreds of huge ice hockeys roared toward Hancheng from all directions.
When the demon army was still gathering between Dali and Heyang, the Condor Hegemond had already started the ice city plan first and launched an ice-shot offensive against Hancheng from four directions.
The huge ice hockey with a diameter of more than half a meter fell from the sky with huge potential energy, and the buildings in Hancheng immediately ushered in a mass test.
For those buildings that are strong enough, after the ice hockey hits, it directly collapses into countless ice sheets under the action of reaction force and scatters all over the ground.
As for those not strong enough buildings, cracks and holes immediately appeared after being hit by ice hockey, and some buildings that were subject to intensive attacks even collapsed.
After occupying Hancheng, the demon army immediately moved the people in the city to other places. Then they directly requisitioned all the houses in the city and converted the houses into soldiers' barracks.
The requisition of private houses to serve as a barracks was originally a small way for the demons to fight the cold winter in northern China. Unexpectedly, in Hancheng, these private houses became their burial sites.
Most of the roofs of private houses are built with mud tiles. This kind of roof is OK to keep warm, but it cannot withstand the impact of ice bombs.
As the Condor Army outside the city deliberately adjusted the throwing angle, the coverage of the ice bomb became larger and larger.
In the end, any places where the catapult outside the city were thrown by ice bombs, and no place could be spared.
Such dense coverage bombardment immediately brought unimaginable damage to ordinary houses in the city.
Several large holes were smashed by ice bombs on the roofs of some houses. The biting cold air penetrated the holes and rushed into the houses, directly taking away the temperature inside the houses and making the houses extremely cold.
Some houses were smashed by ice bombs and the walls were directly ruined. If anyone dared to spend the night in such a house, he would probably never wake up the next day.
The ice bomb attack not only caused disastrous damage to the buildings in Hancheng, but also caused huge casualties to the defenders in the city.
Although the lethality of the ice hockey itself is very limited, once it shatters under a huge impact, its lethality will rise sharply.
Although the demon warriors in Hancheng could avoid the impact of the entire ice hockey, they could not avoid the attack of the sudden collapsed ice at close range.
Under the huge impact, the ice bomb shattered. Although the fragments that were scattered by the impact seemed harmless to humans and animals, they were the real demons who killed people without blood.
Due to the cold weather, many demon warriors who were crushed by ice hockey fragments did not feel any discomfort in their bodies at first.
However, when they were in vigorous activities, blood suddenly gushed out of many parts of their bodies.
Some demon warriors who were injured in vital parts such as their necks fell directly to the ground, and finally passed away due to excessive blood loss.
So what's going on?
In fact, the reason is very simple. The ice hockey carries huge potential energy and shatters. The process of it shattering due to impact is similar to the process of a grenade explosion.
The fragments that splashed out when the ice hockey shattered all carried huge energy. At the moment they first splashed out, they were comparable to the sharpest blades in the world and could destroy all fragile substances.
Those demon warriors whose bodies suddenly appeared wounds were cut by these irregular ice hockey fragments.
Although they had natural scales and were wearing thick cotton coats, countless pieces of ice hockey produced at the moment when the ice hockey exploded.
At close range, the scales and cotton coat of the Demon Warrior could not stop so many broken ice, so the next time was to look at the face.
If you have good faces, you may be safe or have suffered minor injuries. If you have dark faces, you can only be reincarnated as a human being.
After discovering that the splashing ice could kill people, in order to avoid greater casualties, the demon guards in Hancheng directly ordered the demon warriors to return to the barracks to hide, but they did not know that this was another stupid move.
The house can indeed withstand the broken ice, but in this case, the house itself has become a time bomb.
Those sturdy houses are better, and the demon warriors hiding inside are safe.
Once those houses with not very strong structures are hit by a large number of ice hockeys, they immediately become devils that devour all the demon warriors inside.
As houses collapsed, countless demon warriors were buried in heavy tiles and soil.
Although many demon warriors did not die on the spot, for various reasons, they were unable to move at this moment.
If no one rescued them before dark, they would basically not see the next day's sun.
Faced with the decisive attack of the Condor Heroes Army, all the demon guards in Hancheng were at a loss.
Just as they were about to wait for the dark ice bomb attack to stop and launch a search and rescue operation, the ice rain attack of the Condor Heroes suddenly came.
This sudden ice rain was a slight injustice for Han Cheng, who had been hit by a day of ice hockey.
Those demon warriors who had nowhere to shelter from the rain due to damage to their houses were immediately drenched in the ice rain.
It is getting darker and the temperature has dropped sharply. There is no bonfire or food to drive away the cold. They are wet all over and may be taken away by Heibai Wuchang waiting by the side at any time.
The demon clan has always been overlords on land, and they have never encountered such a tragic situation.
Looking at the devastated city and those companions who were still moaning in pain, many demon warriors began to collapse.
They knelt on the ice in pain, held their hands high, and kept shouting towards the sky, begging the demon ancestors to save them.
At the beginning, only a small number of people had emotional collapse, but pessimistic emotions were contagious.
As the homesickness and the glory of ancestors were awakened, more and more demon warriors joined the crowd of people kneeling and praying.
They burst into tears and kept telling their ancestors about the current experience of the demon clan, hoping that their ancestors could appear, help them overcome difficulties and recreate the former glory of the demon clan.
Unfortunately, there is no so-called ancestor in the game. There is only one god here, that is, the supreme god Nuwa. She will only watch everything happening in the game coldly and will not take the initiative to interfere in anything.
The situation in Hancheng did not improve any changes due to the prayers of the demon warriors, but instead became even worse because of the continuous attack of the Condor Army.
After the Condor Army carried out five consecutive days of ice bombs and ice rain attacks, the entire Hancheng completely turned into an frozen city from the inside to the outside.
With the damage of a large number of houses and the stored dry firewood being wet, the demon guards in the city experienced large-scale non-combat reductions, and many sick demon warriors ultimately failed to survive these five days.
In Hancheng, there are only some demon warriors living tenaciously in those solid houses, and those houses are basically located in the center of the city, because only there are the fewest ice bomb attacks there.
Five days later, the ice bomb offensive of the Condor Heroes was forced to stop.
First, because there is no sign of the demon warrior on the city wall, the demon guards in Hancheng have even become a problem in survival. They no longer have the ability to worry about whether the city wall has been lost.
Secondly, because two-thirds of the ice hockey left by Baikal Seals have been used, five small rivers near Hancheng have been completely drained, and the ammunition on the Condor Heroes is insufficient.
