Chapter 746, you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder
When the mixed siege corps of the Condor Army entered the Yijun area and surrounded the Yijun City, the battle of Yijun that was about to break out suddenly attracted the attention of countless people.
Now the news that Ning Yuan pretended to be sick and ran away and Gu Yuntian went into battle to take the blame has spread throughout the entire Huaxia District, and the food guarantee ultimatum issued by Gu Yuntian is already well known.
Many Huaxia players are silently watching this battle, and they want to see if Ning Yuan dares to really defy the world's condemnation and openly slaughter the city.
Although Gu Yuntian is known as the butcher of Datong and has slaughtered several cities one after another, the cities that he slaughtered before were all stubborn to the end and refused to surrender.
The situation on the Loess Plateau is markedly different from that in Datong, Shanxi.
Now those cities that are divided and surrounded by the Condor Army are not fighting to the death, as long as there is no hope, the aboriginal defenders in the city will surrender immediately.
The reason why Ning Yuan was angry was mainly because the Northern Expedition Alliance players in the city set fire to the granary in the city before the city was broken, and the Condor Army did not get a grain of grain after the city was broken.
The aboriginal defenders in the city are innocent, and they don't know that the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance harbor evil intentions.
Therefore, even if Ning Yuan was annoyed and angry, he should go to those culprits to settle accounts, instead of venting his anger on those innocent aboriginal defenders.
Ning Yuan himself knew this truth, but he had no way to take those Northern Expedition Alliance players in the city.
Although he was not willing to commit murder for no reason, he was even more reluctant to be led by the nose by the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance.
With food and population at a premium, he would rather not have either than let the conspiracy of the Northern Expedition Alliance players succeed.
......
After the Condor Army surrounded Yijun City, it was still the same old way.
After the Swan Legion collected enough stones from the vicinity, the Silver Pegasus Knights and Dragon Eagle Knights of the Condor Army immediately flew outside Yijun City, and then used cloud mist to shroud Yijun City in clouds and mist.
Faced with the familiar and unfamiliar cloud siege tactics in front of them, the defenders of Yijun City immediately hid in the nearby improvised canopy the moment the mist appeared.
While the Condor is racking their brains to crack their arson and food burning strategy, players of the Northern Expedition Alliance are also constantly studying how to deal with the Condor Army's foggy siege tactics.
After learning from Huang Long and Huang Ling, they found that after losing their vision, it didn't make much sense to use bows and arrows to fight back, and they would accidentally injure a lot of their own people, so they focused more on studying defense.
Because of the weight they bear, the swan warriors usually drop stones the size of their fists.
A fist-sized stone falling from a height of fifty meters can be very lethal when it hits a person, but if it hits a shield, its power will be greatly weakened.
Considering the limited protective area of the shield and the fact that the arms of the shield-wielding soldiers were easily injured by the huge impact force, the players of the Northern Expedition began to study whether they could build some suggested fortifications on the city walls to resist the attack of the Condor Army's stone bullets.
After repeated trials, the players of the Northern Expedition urgently developed a simple box-type wooden house.
The entire structure of the house is made of solid wood, the roof is made of several thick planks joined together, and the frame of the house is made of sturdy logs.
Since this type of wooden house is only used to shield itself from the rain of stone bullets from the air, it is transparent on all sides and has no walls.
In order to prevent the roof from being directly pierced by stones, the players of the Northern Expedition also covered the wooden planks with a layer of animal fur to act as a buffer.
When the simple wooden house that was both sturdy and convenient was successfully developed, the Northern Expedition Alliance immediately promoted it to the Loess Plateau through offline communication, hoping that the cities on the Loess Plateau besieged by the Condor Army could withstand the attack of the Condor Army.
The Northern Expedition had good intentions, but they overlooked the very important point that when they experimented, all the materials were readily available and they could use them at any time.
They had enough materials at hand to make a large number of simple wooden houses in a short time, but the besieged cities on the Loess Plateau did not have the same convenient conditions as theirs.
After being forced into the city by the cavalry army of the Condor Army, the defenders in the city could hardly leave the city, because in the face of those elusive dwarven rock sheep knights, it was likely that they would never come back.
Unable to get out of the city, the defenders of the city were unable to obtain enough wood.
Without timber, they would not have been able to produce a sufficient number of improvised wooden houses.
The amount of timber stored in the city was insufficient, so the Northern Expedition players in the city had to tear down some houses, and then transport the green bricks and beams removed from the houses to the city wall, and use these materials to build temporary canopies.
Although it is not known whether these simple canopies can withstand the rain of stone bullets falling from the sky, they can only do so due to the limited conditions.
The simple illegal construction above and below the walls of Yijun City has long been seen clearly by the Seraphic warriors in charge of high-altitude reconnaissance.
When the defenders of the city took refuge in those canopies when the fog rose, the Swan Man Slingling Legion of the Condor Army immediately flew over Yijun City, and then directly dumped the stones in the back basket.
As the rain of stone bullets fell, there was an immediate thud on the roof of the canopy.
Looking at the dust that kept falling from the roof of the shed, the defenders hiding in the shed couldn't help but be terrified.
They stared at the shaking roof of the shed, and silently prayed in their hearts that the shed would not be smashed.
I don't know if it's because the quality of the shed is too good, or if their sincerity moved the heavens, when the clouds and mist shrouded in Yijun City gradually dissipated, both above the city wall and the rain shelter under the city wall were still standing there unharmed.
Yes......!
Seeing that everyone around him was safe and sound, the defenders in the city couldn't help but let out a shout of excitement.
They rushed out of the wooden shed with excitement on their faces, waving their weapons at the Condor Army outside the city, as if they had just won a great victory.
Seeing that the wooden shed tactics developed by the alliance successfully resisted the stone bullet rain attack of the Condor Army, the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance in the city were also excited.
“XXXXXXXX。”
After being suppressed by the Condor Army for so long, the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance were all holding back the evil breath in their hearts, and now they have finally moved back to Yicheng, and the evil breath that they held in their chests suddenly smoothed a lot.
It was rare to see the Condor Army deflated, so many excited players also joined the carnival team, and they came to the city one after another and began to greet the Condor Empire players outside the city cordially.
