Chapter 730: The Frozen City

"Launch!"

As the standard-bearer on the control tower waved down the command flag in his hand, the engineer in charge of operating the trebuchet immediately pulled the switch, and then hundreds of huge ice balls flew towards Hancheng from all directions.

When the demon army was still assembled between Dali and Heyang, the Condor Army had already started the Ice City Plan first, and launched an ice-throwing offensive against Hancheng from four directions.

The huge ice ball with a diameter of more than half a meter carried a huge potential energy from the sky, and the buildings in Hancheng suddenly ushered in a quality test.

For those buildings that are strong enough, after the ice balls collide with them, they directly collapse into countless ice chips under the action of the reaction force, and scatter them all over the ground.

As for the buildings that were not strong enough, cracks and holes appeared immediately after being hit by the ice hockey ball, and some of the buildings that were under heavy attack even collapsed.

After the demon army occupied Hancheng, they immediately moved the people in the city to other places, and then they directly requisitioned all the houses in the city and converted them into barracks for soldiers.

The requisitioning of private houses as barracks was originally a small means used by the demon clan to fight the cold winter in northern China, but they did not expect that at this time in Hancheng, these private houses became their burial ground.

The roofs of the houses are mostly made of mud tiles, which are good for keeping out the cold, but they cannot withstand the impact of ice bombs.

As the Condor Army outside the city deliberately adjusted the throwing angle, the coverage of the ice bombs became larger and larger.

In the end, wherever the trebuchets outside the city could be thrown, they were all bombarded with ice bombs, and no place was spared.

Such a dense covering bombardment suddenly brought unimaginable damage to ordinary houses in the city.

The roofs of some houses were smashed into several large holes by ice bombs, and the biting cold air went down the holes to desperately drill into the houses, directly taking away the temperature inside the houses and making the houses extremely cold.

Anyone who dares to spend the night in a house that has been destroyed by ice bombs has turned the houses that were originally used to shelter from the wind and rain into ruins, and those who dare to spend the night in such houses will probably never wake up again the next day.

In addition to the catastrophic damage to the buildings in the city, the ice bomb attack also caused huge casualties to the defenders in the city.

Although the lethality of the puck itself is very limited, once it shatters under a huge impact, its lethality will increase in a straight line.

Although the demon warriors of Han Cheng could dodge the impact of the entire ice ball, they could not dodge the attack of the suddenly shattering ice chips at close range.

Under the huge impact, the ice bomb shattered, and although the fragments scattered by the impact seemed harmless to humans and animals, they were the demons that really killed people without seeing blood.

Because of the cold weather, many of the demon warriors who were hit by the ice ball fragments did not feel any physical discomfort at first.

However, when they were engaged in strenuous activities, blood suddenly gushed out from many parts of their bodies.

Some of the demon warriors who were injured in the neck and other vital parts fell directly to the ground, and finally passed away due to excessive blood loss.

So what's going on here?

In fact, the reason is very simple, the ice hockey ball carries a huge potential energy and blasts down, and the process of it shattering due to impact is similar to the process of a grenade exploding.

The debris that flew as the puck shattered all carried a tremendous amount of energy, and at the moment they first began to fly, they were the sharpest blades in the world, capable of destroying all fragile matter.

Those demon warriors who suddenly had wounds on their bodies were cut by these irregular puckball fragments.

Although they had natural scale armor and wore thick cotton clothes, the ice ball produced countless fragments the moment it exploded.

At close range, the Demon Warrior's scale armor and cotton clothes couldn't stop so many pieces of ice from shattering, so the next time was to look at his face.

Those with good faces may be safe and sound, or only suffer some minor injuries, while those with black faces can only be reincarnated.

After discovering that those flying pieces of ice could kill, the demon guards of Han Cheng directly ordered the demon warriors to return to the barracks to avoid more casualties, but they didn't know that this was another stupid move.

It is true that the house can withstand the injury of ice chips, but in this case, the house itself has become a time bomb.

The sturdy houses were better, and the demon warriors hiding inside were safe.

And those houses that are not very sturdy in structure are hit by a large number of ice balls, they immediately turn into devouring devils, directly devouring all the demon warriors inside.

As houses collapsed, countless demonic warriors were buried in a thick layer of tiles and dirt.

Although many demon warriors did not die on the spot, for various reasons, they were not able to move at this moment.

If no one rescues them before dark, then they will hardly see the sun the next day.

In the face of this kind of desperate attack of the Condor Army, the demon defenders in Han City were all at a loss.

Just as they were about to wait for the ice bomb attack to stop in the dark to start a search and rescue operation, the ice and rain attack of the Condor suddenly came.

This sudden ice rain was simply worse for Han Cheng, who had endured a day of ice hockey bombardment.

The demon warriors who had nowhere to take refuge from the rain because of the damage to their houses were suddenly drenched in the freezing rain.

Now that the sky is getting dark, the temperature has plummeted, there is no campfire, there is no food to ward off the cold, and they may be carried away by the black and white impermanence waiting by them at any time.

The Demon Clan has always been the overlord of the land, how could they ever encounter such a tragic situation.

Looking at the devastation in the city and the companions who were still moaning in pain, many demon warriors began to crumble.

They knelt on the ice in agony, their hands held high, and they kept shouting to the sky, praying for the Demon Ancestors to save them.

In the beginning, only a small percentage of people experienced emotional breakdowns, but pessimism is contagious.

As homesickness and the glory of their ancestors are awakened, more and more demonic warriors join the crowd of kneeling prayers.

With tears streaming down their faces, they kept telling their ancestors about what happened to the Demon Clan now, hoping that the Ancestors would manifest their spirits and help them tide over the difficulties and recreate the past glory of the Demon Clan.

It's a pity that there is no so-called ancestor in the game, there is only one god here, and that is the supreme Nuwa God, who will only watch everything that happens in the game with a cold eye, and will not take the initiative to intervene in anything.

Hancheng's situation did not change in any way because of the prayers of the demon warriors, but only got worse because of the continuous attacks of the Condor Army.

After five days of continuous ice bomb and ice rain attacks by the Condor Army, the entire Korean city was completely transformed into a frozen city from the inside out.

With a large number of houses destroyed and stored dry firewood wet, the demon defenders in the city experienced a large-scale non-combat attrition, and many sick demon warriors did not survive the five days.

In the current Han City, only those sturdy houses still have some demon warriors who are tenaciously surviving, and those houses are basically located in the center of the city, because only there is the least amount of ice bomb attacks.

Five days later, the Condor Army's ice bomb offensive was also forced to stop.

One is because there are no demon warriors on the city wall anymore, and now the demon defenders of Hancheng have even become a problem for survival, and they no longer have the ability to care about whether the city wall is lost.

The second reason is that two-thirds of the ice balls left by the Baikal seals have been used, the five small rivers near Hancheng have been completely drained, and the ammunition on the side of the Condor Army is also insufficient.

In this icy and snowy land, Ning Yuan had nowhere to find the stone bullets used by the trebuchet, so he was going to leave some of the ice bullets behind to deal with the upcoming demon army.
