Chapter 236: Zombie Siege
Just when the main force of the Holy Maiden Sect army gathered all the people and horses to prepare for help, the Hundred Refining Soul in Wuyang County also received a letter from Jiang Chao asking for help, and originally wanted to gather more corpse soldiers, but at present, there are only more than 5,000 corpse soldiers, which is a bit difficult to do. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But it should be enough to deal with Taoguan.
In Taoguan, Dou Heng, who tried corpse poison, finally woke up the next night, Yue Xianglan, Chai Shengnan and Lin Yue immediately rushed over when they heard the news, Dou Heng listened to their words, and then muttered: "Yes, it's been two days and two nights, and this poison is a little more powerful than expected." ”
Chai Shengnan asked: "Senior Brother Dou Heng, what is going on with this poison? And Xianglan said that they have raised thousands of walking corpses in Wuyang County, what is the matter?" "There are no people or means of manipulating walking corpses in the world, but controlling thousands of walking corpses at the same time, not to mention them, even the second-generation disciples of the three sects may not be able to do it."
Dou Heng said: "Those are not walking corpses, they call them zombies, which means corpses of lost souls, they use special methods to extract corpse poison, with gold needles and medicines, acting on the living people, the living people will be poisoned, but the flesh still has spirituality, and even retains some instincts, if it is a martial arts master, it can even retain its cultivation...... And this poison can also be contagious, scratched or bitten by these zombies, it will be infected, but this corpse poison is not suitable for transmission, and it basically doesn't have any effect after two or three times. ”
Yuexianglan hurriedly asked, "Then are they living or dead?"
Dou Heng said: "The living dead in between. ”
Lin Yue asked, "When I was in Binzhou, I also fought with zombies, what is the difference between them?"
Dou Heng thought for a while and said: "There are many reasons for the formation of zombies, but most low-level zombies are because the deceased was angry, holding their breath, Stuffiness, causing the qi to condense in the chest, and then there are external factors that cause the corpse to change, they have become a vein of their own, and they can even do my cultivation, practice to a high depth, difficult to enter, water and fire are inviolable, these zombies are different, they are not so powerful, they are essentially ordinary people, but because they can't feel the fatigue of the flesh and the pain of injury, they can push a person's body movements to the limit, even so they will be injured and killed. I also found their weaknesses. Which corpse refiner uses a golden needle to drive the zombie, so just cut off the zombie's head, or break her spine. ”
Chai Shengnan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, the scale of thousands of zombies was obviously used for combat, as the commander of an army, it would be bad if he had no countermeasures at all in the face of such an enemy.
Yuexianglan said: "So the residents of Blackwater Town and the surrounding areas ......"
Dou Heng nodded: "It should have been kidnapped by them and forcibly poisoned and refined the corpse......"
Yuexianglan gritted her teeth: "Bastard!"
Lin Yue thought: "There are so many zombies, even if you know how to deal with them, it will be difficult to resist." "Although these zombies were just ordinary people before they died, and they were far from being the opponents of the regular army, they no longer had a sense of fear when they became zombies, nor did they feel the fatigue of their flesh and skin and the pain of their injuries, and they could fight the enemy in a self-inflicted way. For such an opponent, ordinary soldiers are already in a hurry, how can they have the energy to behead all the zombies one by one.
The most terrible thing is that once you are injured by these zombies, you will be passed on, even if you can't pass on three rounds, this kind of situation of eliminating one and the other, I am afraid that it will also collapse the morale of the army.
Chai Shengnan thought about the other side: "Senior Brother Dou, you said before that when you went to check, there was still a steady stream of people being sent?"
Dou Heng nodded: "Yes, due to individual differences, not everyone can be refined into zombies, according to my observation, the success rate of zombies is about thirty percent." "That's the equivalent of only one out of every three to four people who can successfully turn into a 'useful' zombie.
Chai Shengnan frowned: "So, they didn't come for us." ”
Lin Yue nodded: "They should be prepared to attack the capital." "Jiangzhou and Luzhou have fallen, as long as Yuanzhou is taken, it is not far from where the capital is located, and it is basically the noon solstice. After all, the capital is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the center of the world, and it is by no means something that tens of thousands of horses can fight hard. Originally, the plan was very good, but Chai Shengnan suddenly appeared to garrison Taoguan, and forcibly blocked the army of the Holy Maiden Sect to the east of Taoguan, whether it was attacking the city or fighting generals, they didn't take advantage of it, and when they thought of Leng Yue Qingyun's punishment for the incompetent and the losers, the main general Jiang Chao couldn't wait to ask for help from the hundred refinements of Wuyang County.
With the probability of zombie soldiers being four to one, if you want to gather these five or six thousand corpse soldiers, you will have to harm at least 20,000 people, and there should be thousands of soldiers and prisoners in these states and counties, plus the population of Heishui Town and surrounding towns, it is basically about the same.
Yue Xianglan remembered another thing: "Then can this corpse poison be solved?"
Dou Heng said: "I can't help those who have become zombies, if our sergeants are injured by them during the battle, I can think of a way in a short time." ”
Those people were directly poisoned and refined into corpse soldiers, Dou Heng was helpless, but indirectly infected, Dou Heng was able to save some, and it was considered that he had not been in a coma for two days and two nights.
Chai Shengnan nodded: "Okay, without further ado, what do you need, junior brother, I immediately ordered someone to start preparing, I believe that in less than two days, their zombie army will be on the border." ”
......
As Chai Shengnan expected, two days later, the army of the Holy Maiden Sect was preparing to attack the city again, and a phalanx in the army was quite eye-catching, they were coarse linen clothes, there were men and women, all of them were ordinary people, but the hideous expressions were very penetrating, and their pale faces did not show a trace of life, and their mouths let out a deep roar like a beast.
Is this the zombie soldier? Lin Yue looked at the phalanx in the distance, which numbered nearly five thousand, and clenched his fists in his hands, slaughtering living beings and harming innocents like this, he should be killed!
Not last time, this time they didn't stand in front of the pass, just kidding, the characteristics of the zombie soldiers, Dou Heng has already made it very clear, close to the body is to find death, so Chai Shengnan decided to stand at the pass and guard, and he was never allowed to attack.
Yue Xianglan looked at this battle and said, "It's also a shame that he can harm so many people...... It's a pity that he is hiding in the rear army, otherwise, it would not be enough to kill this person directly. "The origin of the zombie soldiers, everyone knows that they want to poison, refine the corpse, and then control it by the golden needle, and they can't do it without a step, these thousands of zombies are enough for the person who refines the corpse to be busy for a long time.
Dou Heng said: "No, once the zombie soldiers lose control, it will be even more troublesome at that time, you don't want to face thousands of zombies running around." ”
As he spoke, nearly five thousand zombie soldiers rushed towards Taoguan like a tide, Chai Shengnan's face was pale, and he waved his hand to signal his sergeants to prepare arrows and crossbows, ordinary bows and arrows naturally could not cause any harm to the zombie soldiers, so they put rockets.
In an instant, the zombie soldiers rushed to the city wall, stretched out their hands towards the wall, roaring, the wall was raining fire, falling stones and rolling trees were smashed down, and boiling water was poured down from time to time, although the zombie soldiers were injured but the attack was still unabated, the wounds on their bodies became more and more obvious, and the blurred flesh and blood added a bit of hideousness to these zombies, they kept scratching the city wall, and many zombies' nails and hand bones were cracked, but they didn't care.
The first two rows were gradually knocked down by falling rocks, and the ones behind pressed up, slowly thinking of a slope, and zombie soldiers continued to climb up the bottom.
Chai Shengnan frowned, it was really not that simple, at first he looked at these zombie soldiers who were unarmed and had no tools, how could they attack the city? Not to mention the tall capital, even they couldn't enter this Taoguan, now she understands that the most terrifying thing about these zombie soldiers is this kind of indomitable impact, the blocking at the head of the city just now has done its best, and what about the zombie soldiers under the city? Except for a few who were just hit by chance, the rest of them are still continuing to attack the city even if they have broken limbs and legs, which is something that human soldiers can't do.
Now their offensive method of hitting the ladder is even more incredible, Chai Shengnan glanced at Lin Yue beside him, Lin Yue understood himself, and gathered a strong water balloon between his hands: "Thousands of water beads!!"
The water balloon sent out countless sharp water arrows, piercing the heads of many zombies, but it was useless, ordinary people would have died long ago if they were attacked like this, but the zombie soldiers were still attacking, it seemed that unless Lin Yue could accurately hit the golden needle in their brains with water arrows, otherwise it would only be like Dou Heng said, cutting off their heads was the quickest.
Lin Yue waved his hand, but saw a white light flying, he sacrificed the magic weapon 'Reflecting Moonlight Wheel', this treasure is the best at cutting people's heads, and the crescent-shaped halo turned between the city, and killed dozens of zombie soldiers.
And there were already zombies climbing up to the top of the city in other places, Chai Shengnan pulled out his sword and said loudly: "Soldiers, be careful, don't let them get close, push them all down the city for me, kill!!"
A group of soldiers began to resist the attack of the zombies, Yuexianglan and Dou Heng also joined the battle, under their guidance, several people besieged a zombie, and in a short time they wiped out the zombies that attacked the city, and Lin Yue on the other side had already harvested hundreds of heads, and was about to sacrifice the magic weapon again, but saw that the zombie soldiers gradually retreated.
