A sudden ice rain not only caused heavy losses to the demon army stationed in Hancheng, but also made Hancheng, which was already easy to defend and difficult to attack, even more impregnable.

However, after making up his mind to use the Ice Rain tactic, Ning Yuan was no longer ready to storm Hancheng.

Hancheng has now become a Jedi, and the enemies inside can't get out, and the Condor Army outside can't get in.

After learning that Andrew had led the barbarian army to a great victory, Ning Yuan slightly changed his previous strategic plan.

Although Hancheng has not yet been breached, the outlying areas of Hancheng have long fallen into the hands of the Condor Army, and a city that has been sealed from the inside to the outside can no longer affect the entire battle situation.

Therefore, Ning Yuan modified the original strategy of attacking Hancheng to a strategy of building fortresses in the Hancheng area, encircling points to send reinforcements, and using the "home advantage" to kill and damage the living forces of the demon clan.

Ning Yuan's so-called home advantage has two meanings here.

The first meaning refers to the cold climate of the cold winter in northern China.

Although the Demon Clan's adaptability was very strong, they were a race that had lived in the tropics for generations, and no matter how strong their ability to adapt to the natural environment was, it was impossible to be stronger than the barbarians and dwarves under Ning Yuan's command who had lived in northern China for generations.

The main territory of the Condor Empire is concentrated in the northeastern region of Asia, and the natural environment in these areas becomes extremely harsh every winter, and races without any ability can not survive in these places at all.

The races that can survive in such a harsh natural environment are the chosen ones, and they are the real masters here.

The Demon Clan, an alien race, has only been here for a few days, and they want to compete with the native race here, and they are still a little tender.

If they are not willing to give up the Hancheng area, then Ning Yuan must let them know who is the real master here.

The second meaning is that Ning Yuan wants to use his way to govern his people, and build the Hancheng area into a real ice and snow country, making this the absolute home of the Condor Army.

After learning that the Demon Clan was unwilling to give up Hancheng and was now gathering grain, grass and troops in Dali, Ning Yuan began to order people to build various fortifications in the outlying areas of Hancheng, and at the same time ordered the Dwarven Rock Sheep Knights to invade the Heyang area to carry out the task of harassing the enemy.

In the face of the constant harassment of the Dwarven Rock Sheep Knights, the demon army stationed in the Heyang region suddenly became one head and two large.

Although there are cavalry in the demon army, the hell war horses that are used to living in the tropics don't like the cold climate very much, so the demon clan can only leave the hell war horses they brought over in the Sichuan Basin.

After discovering that the Hell Warhorses didn't like the new environment very much, the Demon Clan began planning to use the local Warhorses to form a new cavalry regiment.

However, their minions had just reached into the Guanzhong Plain, and the number of war horses in their hands was very limited, so at present, in terms of the number of cavalry, the demon clan was in an obvious weak position.

Moreover, the Dwarf Rock Sheep Knights of the Condor Army are not ordinary cavalry regiments, and the big rock sheep under the dwarves are all masters of rock climbing, and they regard the cliffs as flat ground.

If it weren't for the dwarven knights on their bodies, there would be no place to restrict their freedom except the sky and the rivers.

Even now, carrying hundreds of pounds of burden, the terrain that ordinary people cannot pass normally cannot restrict them.

Every time the dwarven knights ride the big rock sheep, in order to prevent it from falling suddenly, they will fix their bodies to the rock sheep, otherwise it may not fall suddenly, this is a lesson in blood.

The terrain on the Loess Plateau is complex, full of hills and river valleys, and the terrain that is an obstacle for ordinary cavalry is a small dirt slope for the dwarven rock sheep cavalry.

The routine operations of the dwarven rock sheep cavalry were like cheating devices in a game in the eyes of the demon warriors, which simply shocked their eyes.

After being teased by the dwarven rock sheep cavalry several times in a row, the demon warriors were no longer willing to deal with these guys who had nothing to do, and they all cowered in the strong fortress, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

After taking the initiative to control the situation on the battlefield and not having any worries, the speed of the Condor Army's construction of the fortress also increased rapidly.

......

While both sides were actively preparing for war, on this day, a special group of guests were welcomed on the Yellow River near Hancheng - Baikal seals.

Baikal seal: Freshwater seal, ice-type monster, a specialty of Lake Baikal, has the ability to exhale into ice, and loves to build igloos.

These cute fat guys were specially transferred from Lake Baikal by Ning Yuan.

As soon as they arrived in Hancheng, they began to use their natural abilities to build igloos under the command of the druids.

A few days later, there were tens of thousands of one-person-high igloos in the fortress complex on the outskirts of Hancheng.

After enjoying the Yellow River carp, the Baikal seals began to build igloos on the ice of the Yellow River.

Igloos were built from the west bank of the Yellow River to the east bank of the Yellow River, and then along the east bank of the Yellow River all the way south to Zhongtiao Mountain.

When the cute Baikal seals left, an igloo line appeared on the Yellow River like a white dragon.

When this igloo defense line appeared, the Condor Army completely controlled the initiative on the entire front.

Now they can attack and retreat, and when and where they will fight is completely up to them.

Although the igloos built by the Belga seals can only exist for a few months, and will all melt away when the temperature rises here, a month or two is completely enough for the Condor Army.

Not only are these igloos very sturdy, but they are also very warm.

This igloo defense line can not only prevent the demon army from jumping over the wall and suddenly launch an attack on the Condor on the east bank of the Yellow River, but also provide a safe haven for the Condor soldiers on the front line to escape the cold.

In the cold winter months, the igloos built by the Baikal seals are warmer than the tents of the Condor Army.

Not only can they insulate themselves from the biting cold wind of the night, but they can also keep the inside of the house warmer than the outside, and they can move in with a thick curtain and a wooden bed, and even make a fire inside to keep warm.

If it weren't for the fact that once the temperature rises, they will start to melt, and Ning Yuan would even want to popularize this kind of environmentally friendly and material-saving building on a large scale in his own territory.

Of course, Ning Yuan took such great pains to transfer a batch of Baikal seals from Lake Baikal not just to build these igloos.

In fact, these igloos can only be regarded as gifts, and the ice hockey pucks two kilometers away from Hancheng are what Ning Yuan really wants.

The Ice Rain tactic is only most effective when it is first taken by surprise, and when the enemy in the city is on guard, it will no longer be able to achieve its previous effect.

Moreover, there is not so much river water near Hancheng for Ning Yuan and his party to squander, so they can't be expected to make a fire every time to melt those ice and snow, it will be so laborious.

Therefore, Ning Yuan mobilized those Belga seals this time, and its main purpose was to use the Baikal seals' ability to exhale into ice to make ice pucks on a large scale.

Since the demon defenders of Han Cheng wanted to turn Han Cheng into an ice city, then Ning Yuan simply fulfilled them and completely turned it into an ice world.
