Chapter 749, the plateau changes the sky
In the battle of Yijun, all the 130,000 aboriginal defenders in the city were killed, and none of them survived.
This battle of slaughtering the city lasted for four days, and when the Condor Army attacked, a team of 1,000 people had been eating and living on a high ground south of Yijun City, and witnessed everything that happened in Yijun City.
The 1,000 men were tall, strong men who had been carefully selected by the Condor Army from among the prisoners of war who had surrendered to Huangling City.
In ancient times, there were no computer networks, and all information transmission relied on manpower.
If secrecy is done well, no one will ever know what you have done somewhere.
Ning Yuan transferred Gu Yuntian to the Shanxi battlefield to let him, the butcher of Datong, take the blame.
The reason why the Condor army wanted to slaughter the city was to use killing methods to deter the enemies trapped in the fortified city, so that they could find a way to keep the food stored in the city.
Now the entire communication arteries on the Loess Plateau are blocked by the Condor Army, and it is difficult for those trapped enemies to get in touch with other cities.
If there were no witnesses, wouldn't the Condor Army's massacre of the city be a useless exercise?
That's why the Condor Army deliberately selected a thousand physically fit prisoners of war to witness all this.
When the 1,000 POWs who had been chosen as war observers saw the Condor disposing of the mountain of human heads with lime powder, everyone trembled with terror.
Compared with the defenders of Yijun City, they were lucky, because after the grain in the city was also burned, the defenders of Yijun City were not even accepted to surrender voluntarily, and could only choose to die in battle, but they were lucky to survive.
After secretly rejoicing, they began to worry about their future again, because the Condor Army brought them here to watch the whole battle, and they would definitely not send them back after watching it.
The Condor Army must have a deep meaning in doing so.
While a thousand battlefield observers were thinking about it, an ape-man officer in silver armor came to the high ground where they were staying.
Glancing at the gloomy Huangling City prisoners of war, Ape Eighteen cleared his throat and announced loudly: "Everyone has seen the fate of the defenders of Yijun City, compared to them, you are all lucky.
Because the same people who burned the food in the city, they all died, and you are all alive and well.
The thousand of you are all carefully selected elites, and all your information has been registered with the military headquarters of the Condor Empire.
Now I will give you a difficult task, and when you return, the Imperial War will reward you for your meritorious deeds, and at the end of the day, you will become a Wing Commander of a hundred.
Your mission this time is dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will die in Huangquan.
Therefore, you must pay attention to your own secrecy, and don't be targeted by those who have nothings, otherwise even the gods will not be able to save you.
But there is no need to be too pessimistic, as long as you are more careful and always pay attention to your words and deeds and hide your identity, you still have a good chance of being alive and reunited with your family.
You don't have to have any worries, now you are also a member of the Condor Empire, even if you are unfortunately killed, your family will not be cold and starving because of this, and the Imperial Military Department will take care of your family with the treatment of military martyrs.
Finally, I would like to emphasize that His Majesty hates that someone betrays him, and if we know that one of you has betrayed the Empire, then all your family members who remain in the Empire will be executed, and the Empire will send killers to hunt you down to the ends of the earth.
Okay, you have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow morning, you will set off immediately. ”
As soon as Ape XVIII finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving the rest of the time to the selected field observers.
These thousand battlefield observers are all considered future midshipmen of the Condor Army, if they can complete the task assigned to them by Gu Yuntian this time, then after they return, the Condor Army will entrust them with important tasks.
In order to prevent them from betraying, Gu Yuntian had already sent all their families and relatives to Shanxi.
With a large number of hostages in hand, the chances of betrayal are infinitely reduced.
Soon, the night passed.
When the sun rose again, a thousand field observers disguised as ordinary farmers and rode the stagecoaches specially prepared for them by the Condor Army, and disappeared into the vast Loess Plateau.
In order to cooperate with the actions of these war observers, the cavalry regiments of the Condor Army located in various parts of the Loess Plateau temporarily relaxed the blockade of the enemy everywhere, giving the war observers the green light all the way.
The identities of those battlefield observers were the defenders of the Yunmeng Mountain Fortress south of Yijun City.
Because the Yunmeng Mountain Fortress was far away from Yijun City, they could not withdraw to Yijun City in the end, and finally had to disguise themselves as ordinary farmers and flee to the deep mountains near Yijun to hide.
When the Condor Army attacked Yijun City, they quietly sneaked up nearby and witnessed the Atrocities of the Condor Army.
Because Huangling is very close to Yijun, the accents of the people in the two places are also very close, and there is indeed a Yunmengshan fortress in the south of Yijun City, which is relatively far away, and the defenders in that fortress are all captured by the Condor Army, so their identities are not too flawed.
As these battlefield observers moved forward, the atrocities of the Condor Army in Yijun City gradually spread to every corner of the Loess Plateau.
Many local people who heard about the atrocities of the Condor Army began to flee for their lives.
Under the deliberate indulgence of the Condor Cavalry Regiment, the population of the Loess Plateau began to move.
As some of the people fled to nearby cities to seek refuge with their relatives inside, news of the Condor Army's massacre of Yijun's 130,000 defenders began to spread in every city.
Since they were able to go online every ten days, the players of the Northern Expedition were one step ahead of the aborigines.
Although they are also hearsay, and they are not sure whether the truth of the matter is true, the refugees who passed on the news have their noses and eyes, and they cannot be careless.
And just when the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance were urgently studying countermeasures, the cavalry of the Condor Army, which had disappeared for a while, suddenly appeared again, and the traffic arteries on the Loess Plateau were blocked by the Condor Army again.
......
Yintai, a county town south of Yijun, is also the next target of the Condor Army's siege corps.
The people near Indor were the first to hear about the Atrocities of the Condor Army, so when the siege corps of the Condor Army entered the Indor area, the defenders in the city were all nervous.
After encircling the city of Yintai, the Condor Army was still the same, with the Silver Pegasus Knight responsible for blocking arrows, the Dragon Eagle Knight responsible for unleashing cloud mist to envelop the city, and the Swan Man Warrior responsible for throwing stone projectiles into the city.
As the clouds began to envelop the city, the defenders of Yintai City immediately took refuge in the various buildings that had been built in advance.
Soon, a large number of objects were thrown from the sky by the swan warriors.
As the clouds that hung over the city cleared, all the defenders near the walls vomited.
When the clouds cleared, the first thing they saw was human heads all over the ground.
Looking at the vaguely recognizable faces on the heads, the legs of many of the defenders began to tremble.
Looking at the countless heads on the ground, the defenders of India and Taiwan finally believed that the atrocities of the Condor Army were real.
"The people from Hanzhuang come with me, and we will guard the granary."
"Li Zhuang's brothers have come to gather with me, and we will go to guard the granary of the northern city."
......
After seeing the heads all over the ground, the first reaction of the defenders in the city was not anger.
The first thing they thought of was that they couldn't repeat the mistakes of Yijun City, they still had families waiting for them to support, so they couldn't die.
After the Condor Army threw down more than 100,000 heads for deterrence, the defenders of Yintai City could no longer care about defending the city, and they called friends to defend the granaries in the city.
"What are you doing? Want to rebel? ”
"Give me all back, and return to their respective posts immediately, otherwise military law will deal with it."
"What about the Warlords? Immediately behead any soldiers who disobeyed the order. ”
After seeing the heads all over the ground, the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance in the city were all pale.
They didn't expect the Condor Army to be so cruel and really wiped out hundreds of thousands of Yijun defenders.
While they were still thinking about countermeasures, the aboriginal defenders in the city were already agitated, and many of the defender soldiers left their posts and frantically flocked to several granaries in the city.
Seeing the behavior of those aboriginal defenders, the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance immediately shouted loudly, wanting to stabilize the morale of the army first.
However, the Condor Army's head-bombardment was too ruthless, and the heads everywhere had already scared the aboriginal defenders in the city.
Now the aboriginal defenders have completely lost the will to resist, and they just want to hold the granary in the city and keep themselves alive.
When the player warlord tried to make an example, they were immediately met with a counterattack from the aboriginal defenders.
As more and more Aboriginal defenders joined the fight against the Warlords' atrocities, an inevitable mutiny began.
Faced with the aboriginal defenders, who had completely lost control, the Northern Expedition players in the city knew that the tide was turning, so they immediately rushed in the direction of the granary, ready to set it on fire before the traitors arrived.
Seeing that many officers and some special soldiers who were powerful on weekdays rushed towards the direction of the granary, the eyes of those aboriginal soldiers in the city immediately turned red.
They shouted desperately, brandishing their swords and chased after them.
Seeing that a fratricidal melee would be inevitable, the flying players of the Condor Army appeared at this time.
"Brothers soldiers in the city, we know what the bad guys who want to set the granary on fire look like, and we will kill them according to our instructions."
Since the city was completely chaotic, no one cared about the Condor players flying in the sky, so the Condor players flew directly over the crowd.
"I'm you, you dogs will be punished sooner or later."
"Wang XX, you have the ability to come down, let's go one-on-one, dog basket, Lao Tzu is sure to beat you so that you can't even recognize you."
......
After being pointed out one by one by the Condor players in the air, the Northern Expedition Alliance players who were besieged by the aboriginal soldiers in the city immediately became angry and pointed at the Condor players in the sky and scolded.
Looking at the annoyed Northern Expedition Alliance players below, the players of the Condor Army were not angered by the other party's insults.
They all sneered and raised their middle fingers at each other, and then continued to identify the Northern Expedition players who were hiding among the aboriginal soldiers.
Under the accurate identification of the players of the Condor Army, the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance suddenly had nowhere to escape.
Soon, all the Northern Expedition players in the city were wiped out by the angry defenders.
Due to the suddenness of the attack of the defenders, a large number of Northern Expedition players were concentrated near the city walls, so they were unable to set the granaries in the city on fire.
Thus, after Huanglong City, Yintai City became the second city where all the grain was captured by the Condor Army.
After gaining the combat experience of Yintai City, the Condor Army began to launch similar attacks on other cities.
Wang Yi, Chunhua, and Xunyi, the three cities soon fell into the hands of the Condor Army in the same way.
After obtaining the grain stored in these four cities, the logistical pressure of the Condor Army has been greatly relieved.
In the face of the extremely inexplicable siege tactics of the Condor Army, the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance were at a loss, because after more than 100,000 heads were thrown down, the defenders in the city would be so frightened that they immediately lost control.
The Condor Army's head-rolling tactics successfully cracked their grain burning tactics.
Seeing that if this continues, those cities on the Loess Plateau will fall one by one, and the grain they have managed to store will be plundered by the Condor Army.
And after the Condor Army gets enough food replenishment, they will be able to dispatch more mobile legions, so the top brass of the Northern Expedition Alliance finally can't bear it anymore.
Rather than being an enemy, it is better to burn them all.
Soon, there was a consensus within the Northern Expeditionary Alliance, and they decided to abandon the Loess Plateau on their own initiative and burn all the grain before the arrival of the Condor Army.
After receiving the order from the high-level, the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance located all over the Loess Plateau immediately took action.
They first found various excuses to move the defenders in the city to build fortifications far away from the granary, and then immediately gathered all the players in the city to attack the granary.
If even the aboriginal soldiers guarding the granary had distrusted them a few days ago, they would still have a good chance of succeeding with this strategy.
However, when some soldiers who had fled from elsewhere entered the city, their strategy was completely unworkable.
When the abnormal behavior of the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance was discovered by those who had a heart, they were immediately targeted by the aboriginal soldiers in the city.
When the players of the Northern Expedition began to move in the direction of the granary, the nervous aboriginal soldiers immediately followed.
Then, after a serious verbal altercation broke out between the two sides, a fierce conflict inevitably occurred.
In order to save food and save their lives, many of the aboriginal soldiers in the city finally chose to preemptively launch a rebellion after discovering that those people who were riding on their heads wanted to burn down the granary.
In this way, before the siege corps of the Condor Army arrived, those cities on the Loess Plateau took the lead in mutiny.
With the help of the Eagles, many of the city's native defenders managed to hold the granary and take control of the city.
And some of the cities that failed to keep the granary, the aboriginal defenders fled from the city immediately after seeing the granary on fire.
At this moment, they no longer care about the elusive Condor cavalry regiment outside the city, they would rather be killed by the cavalry than stay in the city and wait for death.
Thus, in less than three days, the situation on the Loess Plateau completely changed.
The forces of the Northern Expedition Alliance completely withdrew from the Loess Plateau, and the Loess Plateau is now full of small warlords who support their own troops and stand on their own.
The petty warlords were all holding on to the city, waiting for the Condor to come and take it over.
