Chapter seven hundred and forty-two, only waste lords, no useless races(1/2)
Trapped by the dwarf rock sheep knights' hard walls and clear wilds, the demon coalition forces that were originally scattered across the Loess Plateau were forced to move towards large cities where there were large amounts of food.
When the Demon Alliance voluntarily gave up some small fortresses located on the main throat, the big cities on the Loess Plateau immediately became lonely cities.
Although the players located under Daniels's tent had already told Daniels the tactics that the Condor Army had to implement in time, Daniels did not want to give the Loess Plateau area so easily to the Condor Army.
In Daniels's view, since the Loess Plateau is destined to be lost, it is difficult for those alien troops stationed on the Loess Plateau to withdraw, so it is better to ask those alien troops to sacrifice more valuablely.
Anyway, the food and grass reserves in those big cities are sufficient, so if the alien army can defend the city, it will be more than one day.
As long as those cities are not captured in one day, the dwarfs and rock sheep knights of the Condor Heroes will not leave the Loess Plateau in one day.
Daniels intends to use the alien army that defected to the demon clan to drag down the cavalry legion of the Condor Army, and then use his own logistics supply advantage to directly drag down the Condor Army.
Daniels had learned from the Northern Expedition that the Condors had problems with logistics supply.
Now Ningyuan has dispersed millions of troops to the entire Loess Plateau. Although the cavalry of the Condor Heroes are very powerful, the cavalry and the mounts under their crotch are not iron men, and they also want to have a meal.
Nowadays, the Loess Plateau is still yellow. Whether it is the big rock sheep or the silver pegasus, they must eat the food transported from the rear to fill their stomachs.
The dwarf knights are more edible than ordinary people, and the big rock sheep and silver pegases are even more edible than them.
After they consumed all the food they carried with them and could not get replenished from nearby areas, the logistics pressure of the Condor Heroes will be unprecedentedly strong, and then they may have to take the initiative to withdraw from the Loess Plateau.
Daniels's little abacus was jingling, and he saw through the essence of the Condor Heroes's strength outside and the middle.
If the situation really develops as he imagined, Ning Yuan would definitely directly remove all the cavalry corps from the Loess Plateau. After all, the logistics supply capacity of the Condor Army cannot cover the entire Loess Plateau now.
However, Daniels' wishful thinking has a major premise, that is, the cities on the Loess Plateau with enough food and supplies cannot be lost.
Once those cities are lost, the Condor Heroes can obtain a large amount of supplies on the spot, and the hidden dangers in logistics will no longer exist.
Ning Yuan had already considered these issues when formulating the tactics for cavalry to invade the Loess Plateau.
He knew very well that his logistics supplies would be difficult to cover the entire Loess Plateau, so when he implemented this tactic, he was ready to fight with war.
......
Huanglong City is located in Huanglong Mountain. It is an enemy city close to Hancheng on the Loess Plateau. It is also the first area to be disturbed by the dwarf rock goat knights.
After cutting off the connection between Huanglong City and other areas, the Condor Heroes immediately launched a fierce attack on Huanglong City.
Since there are a large number of defenders in Huanglong City, and the Condor Heroes cannot transport large siege equipment to Huanglong City in a short time, unlike the previous siege mode, the Condor Heroes adopted the siege tactic of air bombing this time.
The Swan clan was once a nightmare for all ground races in the early stages of the game, but with the widespread popularity of bows and arrows, the Swan clan, whose physical fitness is relatively not very strong, gradually withdrew from the stage of war.
They collectively retreated to the second line and became glorious producers, providing various material guarantees for the front-line army.
Although the Condor Empire has a large number of regular Swan Scouts, the number of Swan Scouts serving in the army is simply a drop in the ocean compared to the huge population of the Swan clan.
Just when the Swan clan members themselves believed that the Swan clan would no longer appear in the battle sequence of the Condor Heroes, Ning Yuan suddenly recruited a large number of reserves from the Swan clan to go to the Loess Plateau to participate in the battle.
When receiving Ning Yuan's order, many swan people couldn't believe their ears and once doubted whether they had heard it wrong.
After they repeatedly confirmed that it was Ning Yuan's order, many swan people with lofty ambitions shed tears of excitement and then enlisted to join the army.
Although Ning Yuan gave them a strange order, being able to return to the battlefield was already a huge gift for the Swan clan, so they faithfully executed all Ning Yuan's orders.
In this way, each of the 300,000 swan tribe young men carried a basket, a small hammer, a dagger and a light crossbow to the Loess Plateau.
When they arrived over the Yellow River, 300,000 swan soldiers took a cold shower in the Yellow River and captured millions of kilograms of various Yellow River fish for the Condor Army soldiers on the front line.
Next, after a brief renovation in Hancheng, they immediately headed to the battlefield of Huanglong City.
After arriving at the battlefield of Huanglong City, the first task that the 300,000 swans received was to use the hammer in their hands to create fist-sized stones, the more the better.
There are not many other things on Huanglong Mountain, but there are many stones. After three days of busyness, the size of fists is piled up around Huanglong City.
After everything was ready, the Divine Eagle Army immediately launched a general attack on Huanglong City.
The first one to dispatch was the Silver Pegasus Legion.
Using the Silver Pegasus to ignore the enemy's ability to attack from a range, the Silver Pegasus Knights successfully covered the Dragon Eagle Knights to their designated locations.
After arriving at the designated position, the Dragon Eagle Beast under the command of the Dragon Eagle Knights immediately began to release the Cloud and Fog Technique.
As thousands of dragon eagle beasts used the cloud fog technique at the same time, the entire Huanglong City was immediately shrouded in thick clouds.
When the clouds and mist enveloped the entire Huanglong City, the defenders in the city immediately became blind.
And at this moment, 300,000 Swan soldiers carrying baskets were dispatched.
With the help of clouds and mist, they quickly flew over Huanglong City, and then kept throwing the stone as big as a fist in their backpack.
Due to the obstruction of vision, the defenders of Huanglong City had no idea what was above their heads. They were worried that the Condor Heroes would use the clouds and mist to approach the city and then launch a raid directly.
Therefore, many soldiers never moved their positions from beginning to end, and they always stick to their respective positions.
When the Swan Warriors spread throughout the sky and kept throwing the stones as big as fists, many unprepared defenders of Huanglong City immediately won the bid and screamed in all kinds of screams.
Descent objects from high altitudes are the perfect siege tactics that Ningyuan wants to use on the Loess Plateau.
The reason why Ning Yuan could think of this tactic was that in addition to being one of the victims of the Swan clan's previous harm, it was because a similar tragedy had just happened in the community where he lived.
An innocent passerby was injured in the head by a shampoo bottle falling from a high place. After being sent to the hospital, he was rescued and died directly.
After learning about this tragedy, Ning Yuan specially observed the news about falling objects from high altitudes.
It turns out that an egg weighing 30 grams will be thrown from the fourth floor and will smash the top of the person's head.
If you throw it from the 18th floor, you can directly smash the human skull.
If you throw it from the twenty-fifth floor, the impact will be enough to cause death.
So don't underestimate an egg. If it falls from a high altitude, it will be as powerful as a bomb!
After reading the relevant introduction to falling objects from high altitudes, Ning Yuan was so scared that he immediately put away everything on the windowsill, for fear that one day when the wind blew, he would suddenly blow down and hit passers-by.
While feeling frightened, Ning Yuan keenly realized that falling objects from high altitudes could also be used in war, and the Swan clan, who had brought him such damage, was the only candidate.
Although there are many flying races in the Condor Empire that can perform this high-altitude falling object tactic, compared with those races, the Swan clan has innate advantages.
First of all, the swan tribe's appetite is much smaller than that of other races. As long as there are lakes and rivers, they can replenish them on site. This is very important for the Condor Empire, which has a high logistics pressure.
Secondly, the Swan tribe has a huge population and their durability is excellent. When they only need to perform stone-treating tactics, they are the most perfect candidates.
Finally, the Swan Clan can switch from combat mode to production mode at any time.
In places where logistics supply difficulties are difficult, as long as there is enough food in the water, they can not only solve their own food and clothing problems, but also provide food support to other troops.
They can not only act as stone throwers in siege battles, but also use their flight advantages to serve as the eyes of the ground legion. They can also turn into fishermen and hunters at any time to provide logistical support to other armies.
In addition to being not very good at combat effectiveness, they are simply a rare all-round auxiliary troops.
Originally, in the siege battle, the Swan clan's lack of defense against long-range attack capabilities was a fatal weakness. Under the long-range firepower attack of the defending army, it was difficult for them to get close to the city.
However, when the Condor Armies successively owned the Silver Pegasus Legion and the Dragon Eagle Knight Legion, the long-range attacks they feared the most were no longer a problem.
When the city is covered by the Dragon Eagle Beast's cloud fog technique, the defenders in the city will become blind.
The soldiers guarding the city could not have been able to rush toward the sky without seeing it, because if they really did that, they would probably suffer first.
And at this time, the Swans army can take the opportunity to fly over the city.
By the time the enemy in the city found someone throwing stones down from above his head, it was too late. Under the covered attack of the stone rain, the defenders who could not see what was going on would not be able to organize an effective long-range attack.
The above is a result obtained by Ning Yuan's repeated deduction, but the facts are even better than those derived by Ning Yuan.
Fist-sized stones fall freely from a height of fifty meters. Fifty meters are equivalent to the twelve or thirteen floors of modern society.
Thirty grams of eggs fall from eighteen floors can break the skull. Fist-sized stones fall from a height of fifty meters. As long as they hit a person's head, they will basically die.
After the entire city was shrouded in the cloud fog technique performed by the Dragon Eagle Beast, the defenders in the city unanimously believed that the Apes Legion outside the city would take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the city wall.
They focused their main energy on the defense of the city walls and knew nothing about the situation above their heads.
So when it suddenly rained stones in the sky, they had no time to dodge.
At that moment, the stone rain falling from the sky basically refers to wherever it hits. Whether it can survive the stone rain depends entirely on whose face is paler.
The lucky emperor, who was unharmed in the rain of stones, did not have a single stone that could hit them.
People with a slightly less lucky person were unfortunately hit by a stone falling from the sky on their shoulders and other parts. Although many people suffered fractures, swelling and other injuries, and directly lost their combat ability, their lives were finally saved.
And those guys with dark faces were very unfortunate. They were directly hit on the head by a stone falling from a high altitude, and then immediately lost consciousness.
This kind of injury is difficult to rescue with the medical conditions of modern society. In ancient times, when medical conditions were relatively backward, it was basically equivalent to direct death.
After the Swan Man warriors in the sky threw a basket of stones, the defenders of Huanglong City had already suffered more than half of their casualties.
As for the unorganized counterattack of the city defenders deduced by Ningyuan, there was no such thing as this.
When the sky was filled with stone rain, people's first instinctive reaction was to quickly find cover to save their lives. In that case, no defenders wanted to fight back against the sky arrows.
When the clouds shrouded over Huanglong City dissipated, the entire Huanglong City was empty, and the 300,000 swan warriors had successfully retreated to their own safe area where the stone bombs were stored.
When the defenders walked out of the bunker and looked at the empty sky, countless question marks appeared in many people's heads.
Just when many defenders in the city were still confused, the ape army outside the city began to approach the city.
Without too much thought, the defenders in the city immediately began to take their place under the orders of officers at all levels and prepared to welcome the upcoming siege battle.
However, after a distance ahead, the ape army outside the city suddenly stopped.
Just when the defenders on the city wall were puzzled, the Dragon Eagle Knights Legion, which had passed the cooldown of the Clouds and Fog, rushed towards the city again under the cover of the Silver Pegasus Legion.
