Chapter seven hundred and forty third, variables
After capturing Huanglong City, the Condor Heroes Army also took the opportunity to seize several granaries in the city.
Some players in the Northern Expedition Alliance who guarded Huanglong City wanted to burn the food stored in the city after seeing the situation was hopeless, but unfortunately the Condor Heroes did not give them that opportunity at all.
As soon as the clouds dissipated, teams of silver pegasus knights flew directly to the granaries in the city, and then directly killed all the enemy guarding the granaries, firmly controlling the granaries in their own hands.
The players of the Northern Expedition Alliance wanted to burn the food in the city, mainly because they all knew very well that the Condor Army had big logistical problems now.
If war cannot be achieved, the military operations of the Condor Army on the Loess Plateau will not be maintained for a long time, so they do not want to support the enemy.
However, the players dare to do this because they are not afraid of death, but their lack of fear of death does not mean that the indigenous soldiers in the city are not afraid of death.
When they thought of the serious consequences of burning all the food in the city, many indigenous soldiers decisively rejected the requests made by the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance.
So the players in the city could not regain the granary occupied by the Silver Pegasus Knights under their own power.
When all the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance who wanted to resist to the end were killed, there was no resistance in Huanglong City.
From several large granaries in Huanglong City, the Condor Heroes obtained a large amount of food, and those precious food directly solved the urgent needs of the frontline.
In addition to food, the Condor Army also captured a large number of Indigenous soldiers.
After the wounded were removed, all prisoners of war were sent to the occupied areas on the Loess Plateau by the Condor Heroes, and they were responsible for building roads and carrying out military farming.
The series of actions of the Condor Heroes Army are already very obvious, that is, since they have been on the Loess Plateau, they are not going to go down again.
After Huanglong repaired for a few days, the main force of the Condor Heroes Army, who was responsible for siegeing the city and land, marched towards Huangling, Yijun and other places.
Although players of the Northern Expedition Alliance have learned about the latest siege tactics of the Condor Heroes through offline communication, it is one thing to know, but whether they can deal with it is another thing.
When the clouds released by the Dragon Eagle Beast began to cover Huangling City, the defenders of Huangling City immediately used the tactics that had been practiced in advance. Some soldiers held their shields high to defend themselves, and some soldiers bent their bows and arrows to point straight to the sky.
When they estimated that the Swans army responsible for the rain of stones should have already flown over the city, they immediately began to shoot arrows in the sky.
However, the Huangling defenders' arrows were fired at once without the effect they imagined.
The stone rain that was supposed to have fallen from the air did not move, nor did the swan soldiers who were shot into the arrow fell. Although there were some screams, it seemed that they were all from their own people on the ground.
Oops, this time the enemy's attack was a feint.
After discovering that the situation was wrong, Huangling's defenders immediately stopped this meaningless shooting that would only hurt their own people by chance. They were ready to wait until the clouds dissipated before responding according to the situation.
However, this time the cloud fog technique lasted a little long. Just as the defenders in Huangling were wondering why the clouds had not dissipated, a stone rain suddenly started in the sky.
Although the defenders of Huangling City have taken targeted defensive measures, people are still constantly injured in the face of dense stone rain.
After discovering that stone rain began to rain in the air, the soldiers responsible for shooting arrows instinctively wanted to shoot their bows and launch an arrow to launch a counterattack.
As a result, they had just emerged and were hit one after another, and finally had to retract back under the shield.
The defenders of Huangling City proved with facts that they could not break the enemy's stone rain tactics without air force that could compete with the enemy.
Because from beginning to end, the initiative in the offensive is in the hands of the offensive party, they can only passively defend.
As the initiator of the attack, the Condor Heroes can choose straightforward styles, or choose an offensive method that combines virtual and real.
Obviously, they had guessed that the enemy would respond before attacking Huangling, so they were also prepared in advance.
The Condor Army's response plan is to send double the Dragon Eagle Knights and then double the time it takes to cover the city with clouds and mist.
When the first group of Dragon Eagle Knights used the Clouds and Fog Technique, the Swan Man Legion would not enter the sky above the city.
Only when the second group of Dragon Eagle Knights perform the Cloud and Fog Technique will the Swan Man Legion fly over the city and launch an active attack.
The new siege army's new siege strategy directly deceived the defenders of Huangling City, causing them not only to waste a large number of arrows, but also to cause a lot of accidental injuries.
When the Swans launched the Stone Rain Attack, it was too late for the defenders of Huangling City to launch a counterattack, because the dense stone rain made them unable to raise their heads at all.
Although after the Huangling City defenders were prepared, the Swan people's stone rain attack could no longer achieve the effect that was the case when they were first used in Huanglong City.
However, if you stay for a long time, you will lose it. There are not many other things on the Loess Plateau, but there are many stones. As long as there are mountains nearby, the Swan Men's Legion will not lack stones for throwing.
If you don’t work once, you will get twice, if you don’t work twice, if you don’t work twice, if you don’t work three times, you will get four times......
Anyway, some of the stones collected by the Swan Warriors are, and they can only temporarily truce after being thrown away. After sufficient re-collect, they launch another attack.
Faced with the almost sloppy attack method of the Condor Heroes, the defenders of Huangling City were suffering.
Without reinforcements, they will sooner or later be tortured to death by the Condor Army outside.
After feeling that the loss of the city was only a matter of time, in order to prevent the Condor Heroes from plundering the food in the city, the Northern Expedition Alliance players in Huangling City quietly transferred the indigenous soldiers who were defending the granary and directly ignited all granaries in the city.
When the sky-sky fire started to burn, the indigenous defenders in Huangling City immediately collapsed.
Many soldiers looked at the fire in the city in a daze, their eyes full of helplessness and despair.
The food in the city is their lives. After being surrounded by the Condor Armies, what has been supporting their battle is the food in the city that they have enough food for a long time.
Now that the food has been burned by someone, what's the use of whether Huangling City can be defended?
After losing that food, the Eagle Army did not need to take the initiative to attack the city. In a few days, they would all starve to death.
"Soldiers in Huangling City, our Condor Heroes Army is now very short of food. We need food in the city, so we will not set fire to the fire.
Those guys who burned the granary are the people inside you. They have one of the biggest characteristics, that is, they have no father or mother, and no household registration, and it seems to appear out of thin air.
Most of these people have no real skills and are in high positions. They are not only our enemies, but also your enemies, because they want to starve you all to death.
God has the virtue of living a life. Now your only way out is to open the city gate and surrender to us, and then we will pull out the evil men who set fire and cut them into pieces."
After discovering that the flames suddenly ignited in the city, the players of the Condor Heroes outside the city immediately realized that the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance in the city were setting fire to burn food and preparing to break the dead.
When I found that the fire was lit, it was too late to put out the fire.
Although the Condor Heroes' attack was mainly for the food in the city, the food was burned up by the enemy's fire, even if they captured Huangling City, they could not be called a victory.
But the cities that should be attacked still have to be attacked. After all, when they cannot allow their army to advance forward, there are still cities in the rear that have not been captured.
Moreover, the indigenous soldiers in the city were also very good at labor after surrendering. They had to rely on the surrendered soldiers to restore production on the Loess Plateau.
So some players of the Condor Heroes who had a relatively fast mind immediately flew near the city and began to shout to the enemies in the city.
The indigenous people could not tell who was the player and who was the indigenous people, but the players were very clear about the difference between themselves and the indigenous people, so they directly betrayed the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance in Huangling City.
The calls from the Condor Heroes outside the city soon spread throughout Huangling City.
When the Aboriginal soldiers who were suddenly transferred from the granary by players of the Northern Expedition Alliance learned the information, they immediately believed it.
Because guarding the granary is a hard work, the special army that only knows how to enjoy is never bothered to approach the granary.
It was abnormal that they suddenly announced that they would take over the granary today. After they took over the granary, all the granaries in the city ignited a fire at the same time. If there were no ghosts in it, no one would believe it.
When the soldiers transferred from the granary told the others the news, it was self-evident that the culprit of the burning of the granary in the city was the one who combined with the shouts of the Condor Army outside the city.
Usually, players of the Northern Expedition Alliance enjoy various special treatments and act in various ways in the territory, which has already made the indigenous soldiers disgusted.
However, because the player power controls all the troops and resources in the territory, many indigenous soldiers dare not speak out, and can only choose to endure helplessly.
Now these guys have burned down all the food in the city, which is simply to cut off everyone's life.
If they can still tolerate this, they will not deserve to call it a man.
The moment I learned the truth, all the anger accumulated in the past erupted in an instant.
The angry soldiers waved their weapons and rushed directly to the Northern Expedition players who had always enjoyed special treatment.
Facing the Indigenous soldiers who were motivated by the Condor Heroes, the Northern Expedition Alliance players in the city also greeted them without any weakness.
The moment they set fire to burn food, they were ready to die in battle, so the angry soldiers could not scare them at all.
When the Condor Army players outside the city discovered that the defenders in the city had mutiny, they immediately flew in.
"Brothers of the defenders in the city, we are here to help you kill the culprits who burned food. We know their physical characteristics, so you will attack whoever we attack, surely."
At this moment, the Flying Legion of the Condor Heroes directly became a nightmare for players of the Northern Expedition Alliance in the city.
Originally, players of the Northern Expedition Alliance wanted to take advantage of the chaos to provoke internal strife between the indigenous defenders in the city. They wanted everyone in the city to be buried with them. After all, only if everyone in the city dies, the Eagle Army will not be cheaper.
However, when the Flying Legion of the Condor Army players appeared, their wishful thinking was immediately lost.
The indigenous defenders in Huangling City were ready to surrender to the Condor Army immediately after punishing the arsonist.
So when the players of the Condor Heroes said they wanted to help them find all the culprits, they believed in each other unconditionally without thinking.
"The dozen people there were in the same group as the arsonist, killing them."
"There are more than a dozen arsonists among you, those guys dressed up in a fancy way."
"Those short-haired and unbearded people are also fellow arsonists, kill them."
......
Under the guidance of the flying players of the Condor Heroes, the Northern Expedition Alliance players in Huangling City could not hide at all.
Wherever the flying players of the Condor Heroes pointed, the angry Aboriginal soldiers rushed to. Soon, the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance in Huangling City were completely cleared.
Although the Condor Heroes took down Huangling City without any effort and obtained a large number of indigenous surrendered soldiers, the food they wanted most had already turned into ashes, which was a very big blow to the Condor Heroes.
If the Condor Heroes attacked a city in the future, the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance in the city will follow the example and burn all the food in the city before breaking the city.
Then the Condor Heroes not only cannot achieve the strategic goal of raising war with war, but also adds even worse because they have received a large number of surrendered troops.
By then, even if they captured the entire Loess Plateau, it would have no meaning, because without food, they would not be able to feed the population on the Loess Plateau.
After realizing the seriousness of the situation, the Condor Heroes Army, which captured Huangling, immediately sent a messenger to report to Ning Yuan, which might affect the entire strategic layout of the Condor Heroes Army.
After learning about what happened in Huangling City, Ning Yuan suddenly felt deep pressure.
Players of the Northern Expedition Alliance are spread all over every city on the Loess Plateau. If they want to burn the food in the city, the Condor Heroes will not have time to stop it, so this seems to be an unsolvable problem.
If the food stored in each city is burned by players of the Northern Expedition Alliance, then capturing the entire Loess Plateau now will be a heavy burden for the Condor Empire.
Because before the autumn harvest, the Condor Empire could not provide enough food to feed the population on the Loess Plateau.
After all, after capturing the entire Loess Plateau, Ning Yuan could not watch the millions of people on the plateau starve to death. A Huangtu Plateau without people was not what he wanted to see.
If the strategic plan to conquer the Loess Plateau is stopped, the Condor Heyang, which is heavily deployed in the enemy, must launch an attack from the front.
The Demon Alliance gathered a large number of elite troops in Heyang and built a solid defense line.
If a strong attack is launched head-on, the Divine Eagle Army will definitely suffer heavy losses, and this is not what Ning Yuan wants to see.
Moreover, with a strong attack on the front, the logistics pressure of the Condor Heroes will not be improved at all.
