0706 The Battle of the River (I)
Night......
The cool river breeze blows slowly, which makes people feel very comfortable, but the river bank is full of a solemn atmosphere, countless soldiers and people are holding torches, standing next to all kinds of heavy weapons, and in front of them are three embankments more than 20 kilometers long.
"It's coming sooner than expected......"
Zhao Guanren stood on the wall of Gusu City, looking at the dark river on the other side of the river with a solemn face, the people in the city had all moved away, only a large number of logistics troops were stationed in it, and there were a full million soldiers, and the camp tent had been extended to the outside of the city.
"It's already good, at least we already have a cadaveric vaccine......"
Emperor Shunyao stood beside him with his arms crossed, the corpse poison vaccine was divided into hundreds of batches, tens of thousands of people died before and after, and countless vaccines were lost, and more than 10 million vaccines were finally transported to Jiangbei, and now the soldiers stationed here have been injected.
"Qingwen!Is there any latest news from Mingyang Mountain......
Zhao Guanren looked back at Shen Qingwen, just like he said before, not only will he take the lead, Luo Tan, Qiu Ning, Ye Ruoqing and Ouyang Jin and other women are all present, each woman is wearing a military uniform, fighting with the soldiers at the forefront of the anti-corpse.
"There is a carrier pigeon that has just arrived, and the situation in Mingyang Mountain is not optimistic......"
Shen Qingwen stepped forward and said: "Jin Wuming has attracted too many corpses, the scale may exceed more than five million, even if there is a corpse extermination array to protect them, they still have a lot of losses, there is currently a shortage of food and grass, and there are huge flying corpses, and the plane can no longer investigate!"
"Have you found Ye Yunchen......
Zhao Guanren frowned slightly, and Shen Qingwen shook his head and said, "No, but there are fifty-six corpse generals found so far, and it seems that their strength is not lower than that of Ye Yunchen in the past, and they have a certain amount of wisdom, and they are also the main offensive force of the corpse army!"
"It's good to be wise, but it's troublesome to run around......"
Zhao Guanren turned around and held the battlements, and suddenly heard a dull horn sound, and the warships cruising on the river also sounded the gong, followed by a large number of rockets flying into the sky, and the incendiary materials on the other side of the river were all ignited at once, and soon burned into a long fire dragon.
"Here, let's all come and have a good look......
Zhao Guanren raised a pair of German binoculars, the border army generals who came to observe and study hurriedly stepped forward, the representatives sent by the steppe also rushed over, and the envoys of the two island countries were also among them, and they raised their binoculars to look at the other side of the river.
"Hiss~"
Many people even inhaled cool air, the two sides of the Tongtian River are more than 2,000 meters wide, and it is almost difficult to see the opposite bank if you do not stand on a high place, but there is a black crowd of people in the telescope, like a large amount of oil pouring out, rolling towards the river bank.
"Oh my God, they're holding rocks, they know they're going to ...... water."
Many people's eyes widened in shock, the scale of the corpses in front of them became larger and larger, and the corpses in front of the leaders were almost holding big stones, and those who did not have stones held hands with their companions.
"Boom~"
The corpse man stepped straight into the sea of fire, the long fire dragon was more than ten kilometers wide, behind the mountain of burning materials, there was a wide and deep trench, but the corpse man who walked crookedly didn't care at all, and after wading through the sea of fire, he fell into the trench.
“......”
The entire Gusu City was silent, even the soldiers who were preparing to face the battle were the same, such a huge and terrifying suicide scene deeply shocked everyone's heart, and those who had not participated in the resistance war could not even imagine this earth-shattering, shocking scene of ghosts and gods.
"Gott~"
Many people with a shallow appetite spit it out directly, the scorching smell has drifted from the other side, it is not the same as the ordinary barbecue smell, the smell of the charred corpse is sour, and there is some smell in the acid, and the thought of burnt human flesh is that ordinary people can't resist this impact at all.
"Whew~~~"
The flames burned half of the sky, corpse oil is one of the best flame retardants, and the dry body of the corpse is also easy to catch fire, and the black smoke soon drifts to cover the sky and the sun, almost covering the entire riverbank, but the long fire dragon is still expanding.
A ravine was filled in more than ten minutes, and the road was filled with corpses, and the filled trench became a second fire dragon, but the corpses still moved forward without hesitation, stepping on the corpses of their companions, with the flames all over their bodies, approaching the river bank step by step.
The second ditch was filled in again, and soon it was the turn of the third, and the last, on the opposite bank......
"Catapult......!
The generals stationed on the river bank finally gave the order, and hundreds of catapults suddenly flew into flames, and one after another burning fireballs flew to the other side of the river with all their might, igniting the dead grass all over the ground one by one, constantly expanding the fire, and doing their best to kill and injure the corpses.
"Put it again!"
Catapults are attacking one after another, the corpses are always coming, they are always going to kill, Tongtianjiang is the biggest reliance of human beings, and the checkpoints in the rear are the worst plans, if they can block the corpse army on the other side of the river, or directly kill more than half, their task will be successfully completed.
"Don't let them get away......"
Zhao Guanren suddenly shouted with an electric horn, the Tongtian River is hundreds of kilometers long, Gusu City is only the easiest section to defend, if the corpses are allowed to cross the river from both ends to outflank, their more than a million people will have no way to live.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me......"
Hundreds of death row inmates wept and wailed, these guys were all traitors and criminals who took advantage of the chaos, some of them were cruel to women, some were murderous and overstalked, they were either carrying their lives or were morally corrupt, and now sending them to the front line is considered waste.
"Cut!"
The captain of the executioner gave an order, and hundreds of human heads fell to the ground in an instant, rolling down on the first embankment on the north bank, and the wind direction in May also happened to be from south to north, and the blood qi that rushed to the sky soon blew to the other side of the river, and the calm corpse group instantly became agitated.
"Whoa......"
The roar of the corpse immediately shook the heavens and the earth, the corpses all quickened their pace, and the corpses who were swaying blindly on both sides also crowded into the middle, no matter what orders the corpses had at this time, they would not follow them, blood is something that can make the corpses crazy.
"Mother, that's too much......"
The recruits were all trembling, the reason why Zhao Guanren let them be in the first row was to exercise their courage, and the situation of the province running away after the battle appeared, only by making them accustomed to the disgusting and terrifying horror of the corpses, they could forget their fear.
"Puff all ......"
The corpse army finally rushed into the river in a steady stream, they didn't know what death was, anyway, wherever there was blood, they ran away, although the corpses were washed away as soon as they got out of the water, but this was not worth it at all for their tens of millions of scales.
"If only it could drown them......
The envoys who came to observe were all very nervous, but the corpse man did not need to breathe at all, he could walk across the river with a big stone, the Gusu water area was not turbulent at all, and a corpse man was washed away, ten, hundred, thousand, or even tens of thousands, and the soft river bottom could be filled in quickly.
"Oh no! the fire is extinguished......"
Prince Duan clenched his fists nervously, the fire on the other side of the river was trampled out, and the trebuchet that kept throwing fireballs couldn't keep up with the speed, but the transformed warship was not idle, and after waiting for a while, it began to drag the bottom with fishing nets.
"Zhang Kui, let the warship not be in a hurry, there are not enough corpses......"
Zhao Guanren hurriedly shouted and ordered, thousands of warships carried more than a dozen trawls, which could tow away all the corpses that sank to the bottom, and they could be wound up if they could not be towed, and there were spare trawls on the shore, each boat was equipped with fifty trawls.
"It's terrible! The shore has been filled in......"
Everyone looked solemnly at the other side of the river, the soft river embankment has been flattened by the corpse, the corpse who was originally out of the water without a shadow, just half an hour pad out of dozens of meters, the corpse stepped on the corpse of his companion across the river, and it would be completely submerged if he had to walk out of a good section.
"Don't worry, this battle will go on for a long time......"
Zhao Guanren held the battlements and sank like water, this is a real war of attrition, at present, it is only the stragglers of the corpses, and the powerful big guys are all behind, but what he is most worried about is Ye Yunchen, the dangerous guy who may have become a corpse handsome.
"Flying corpses! There's a flying corpse coming......"
The sentinels of the arrow tower suddenly shouted, but before everyone could react, several black behemoths fell from the sky, like ancient pterosaurs, and swooped into the river to tear the trawl warships, each with a wingspan of more than ten meters long.
"All ......"
Dozens of heavy machine guns immediately opened fire with all their might, and even the only armored vehicle began to spit flames, these weapons from the base were used to deal with these flying corpses, and the position even prepared ballista nets to never give the other side a chance to exploit loopholes.
"Quack Quack ......"
More than a dozen bird-shaped flying corpses screamed and planted into the river, although the heavy machine guns could not kill them, but they could tear their wings apart, and the corpse birds all fought on their own, flying over hundreds one after another, all of them were shot into the river.
The trawler was soon back in operation, and the boatmen desperately supported the boat back and forth, and when they were tired, they hurried to the shore to replace people, and thousands of warships continued to work alternately, which was the result of brainstorming, and every detail was taken into account.
However, as Zhao Guanren said, this is a war of attrition that will be exhausting, and the people who are preoccupied have no concept of time, and they feel that it will be dawn in the blink of an eye, and the front-line soldiers will begin to sleep in shifts, and it will not be easy for the corpses to think about crossing the river.
"Ashore!"
Zhao Guanren stretched his head suddenly, and finally the first corpse man came ashore, threw away the stone in his hand and rushed to the shore, but it was immediately shot through the head by the archers, in order not to make it a stepping stone for the siege, the soldiers hurriedly dragged it up with hook guns and transported it away.
But if there is a first, there is a second......
The corpses began to land in a steady stream, although all of them appeared in a scattered manner, and most of them were lucky enough to escape the trawl, but the landing was only a matter of time, and the scale of the corpses was still so large that they could not see the edge, and they would always fill the Tongtian River with corpses.
"What's that? What a big ......?"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, it was noon the next day, and in the black smoke that filled the field, a big guy like an earth-walking dragon slowly appeared, and there was actually a four-armed giant sitting on his back, but it was followed by the second and third ...... Up to a large crowd!
