Online Game: Barbarism And Civilization

Chapter 734 Frozen City

“emission!”

As the standard-bearer on the control tower swung down the flag, the engineer responsible for manipulating the trebuchet immediately pulled the switch, and then hundreds of huge hockey pucks roared from all directions to Hancheng.

When the Devil army was still gathering between Dali and Heyang, the Condor Army had already started the Ice City plan first, launching an ice-throwing offensive against Hancheng from four directions.

The huge hockey puck with a diameter of more than half a meter carried huge potential energy down from the sky, and the buildings in Hancheng immediately ushered in a major quality inspection.

For those buildings that are strong enough, after the ice puck hits it, it is directly broken into countless ice flakes under the action of the reaction force and scattered on the ground.

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

After occupying Hancheng, the Devil army immediately moved the people in the city to other places, and then they directly requisitioned all the houses in the city and converted the houses into soldiers’ barracks.

The expropriation of civilian houses as a barracks was originally a small method used by the Devil to fight the cold winter in northern China. Unexpectedly, at this time in Hancheng, these houses became their burial ground.

The roofs of the houses are mostly built with mud tiles. This kind of roof is good to keep out the cold, 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 bombs became larger and larger.

In the end, as long as the place outside the city can be thrown by the catapult, they will all be bombarded by ice bombs, and no place can be spared.

Such a dense coverage bombardment immediately caused unimaginable damage to the ordinary houses in the city.

Several large holes were smashed into the roofs of some houses by ice bombs, and the biting cold air followed the holes desperately into the house, directly taking away the temperature inside the house, making the house extremely cold.

The walls of some houses were smashed by ice bombs, leaving the houses originally used for sheltering the wind and rain into ruins. If anyone dared to spend the night in such houses, they would probably never wake up the next day.

The ice bomb attack not only caused catastrophic 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 be ascending in a straight line.

Although the Devil fighters of Hancheng can escape the impact of the entire hockey puck, at close range, they cannot escape the sudden collapse of ice flakes.

Under the huge impact, the ice bombs shattered. Although the fragments flying around by the impact seemed harmless to humans and animals, they were the real Devil that killed people without seeing blood.

Because of the cold weather, many Devil fighters who were crushed by the fragments of the ice hockey did not feel any discomfort in their bodies at first.

But when they were engaged in strenuous activities, many parts of the body suddenly gushed out of blood.

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

So what is going on?

In fact, the reason is very simple. The ice hockey puck carries a huge potential energy and crashes down. The process of crashing it due to impact is similar to the process of a grenade exploding.

The fragments that splashed out when the ice puck shattered all carried huge energy. At the moment they first splashed out, they were comparable to the sharpest blades in the world, capable of destroying all fragile substances.

Those Devil fighters with sudden wounds on their bodies were cut by these irregular ice hockey fragments.

Although they had natural scales and were wearing thick cotton-padded clothes, the ice puck produced countless fragments at the moment it burst.

At close range, the Devil warrior’s scale armor and cotton coat can’t stop so many ice pieces, so the next step is to look at the face.

If you have a good face, you may be safe, or just suffer some minor injuries, but if you have a dark face, you can only reincarnate.

After discovering that those splashing ice pieces could kill people, the Devil guard of Hancheng, in order to avoid more casualties, directly ordered the Devil soldiers to return to the barracks to escape, but they did not know that this was another faint move.

The house can indeed withstand broken ice and hurt people, but in this case, the house itself has become a time bomb.

Those sturdy houses are better, and the Devil soldiers hiding in them are safe.

Once those houses with not very strong structures are hit by a large number of ice hockey pucks, they immediately become devouring demons, directly devouring all the Devil warriors inside.

As houses collapsed, countless Devil soldiers were buried in heavy tiles and mud.

Although many Devil fighters did not die on the spot, for various reasons, they couldn’t move at this moment.

If no one rescued them before dark, they would basically not see the sun the next day.

Facing such a desperate attack by the Condor Army, the Devil defenders in Hancheng were all helpless.

Just when they were about to wait for the dark ice bomb attack to stop and start a search and rescue operation, the Condor Army’s ice rain attack suddenly came.

This sudden icy rain made Hancheng even worse for Hancheng, who had endured a day of ice hockey bombardment.

Those Devil soldiers who had nowhere to shelter from the rain due to damage to their houses were suddenly drowned out by the icy rain.

Now it is getting dark, the temperature drops sharply, there is no bonfire, no food to drive away the cold, and they are all wet at any time by the black and white impermanence waiting to be taken away.

The Devil clan has always been the overlord on the land, they have never encountered such a miserable situation.

Looking at the devastation in the city and the companions who were still moaning in pain, many Devil fighters began to collapse.

They knelt on the ice in pain, raised their hands high, and kept shouting to the sky, praying for Ancestor Devil to save them.

At the beginning, only a small group of people experienced emotional breakdowns, but pessimism can be contagious.

As the homesickness and the glory of the ancestors were awakened, more and more Devil warriors joined the crowd kneeling and praying.

With tears streaming down their faces, they kept telling their ancestors about what happened to the Devil clan now, hoping that the ancestors would show their spirits to help them tide over the difficulties and reappear the glory of the Devil clan in the past.

It’s a pity that there is no so-called ancestor in the game. There is only one god, the supreme Nuwa god-tier. She will only watch everything that happens in the game with cold eyes, and will not take the initiative to intervene in anything.

The situation in Hancheng didn’t get any improvement because of the prayers of the Devil fighters. On the contrary, it got worse because of the constant offensive of the Condor Army.

After the Condor Army carried out five consecutive days of ice bombs and ice rain attacks, the entire Han City was completely transformed into an ice-bound city from the inside to the outside.

As a large number of houses were destroyed and the stored dry wood was wet, the Devil defenders in the city experienced a large-scale non-combat attrition. Many sick Devil fighters failed to survive these five days.

In the current Hancheng, only those strong houses still have some Devil warriors tenaciously alive, and those houses are basically located in the center of the city, because only there is the least ice bomb attack.

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

One is because the Devil warriors can no longer be seen on the city wall. Now the Devil defenders in Hancheng have a problem with their survival. They have no ability to worry about whether the city wall is lost.

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

In this icy world, Ning Yuan has nowhere to find the stone bullets used by the catapult, so he plans to leave a part of the ice bullets to deal with the coming Devil army.
