Chen Ning let tens of thousands of people flee, this tiger pass can't be defended, you must know that the leader of this zombie army is an 11-level zombie tyrant. Although the intelligence shows that the Thunder Tyrant is only a junior tyrant, under normal circumstances, a level 11 early tyrant can defeat ten level 10 early generals.

Even if a tyrant at the beginning of level 11 faces a general at the end of level 10, under normal circumstances, he can still have the upper hand with one enemy and three enemies.

In the Hukou Pass, except for the hidden master Fang is a level 10 late general, the rest of the highest level is Qin Yingqi, who is a level 9 general, and Kan Jing is a level 8 general.

Even if Chen Ning was desperate to borrow the power of the Scarlet Tyrant, at best, he could only exert the strength of a late-level 10 general.

With Chen Ning and Fang Zheng, it is not enough to resist the Thunder Tyrant, not to mention that the Thunder Tyrant is still leading the zombie army, and it is estimated that there is no shortage of super zombies in the zombie army, so the soldiers and civilians of Hukou Pass have no chance of winning, Chen Ning will announce this matter heavily, let the people of Hukou Pass, flee!

However, when these former rebels, if the people of Hukou Pass, heard that Chen Ning would not leave, and Chen Ning wanted to stick to Hukou Pass, they fell silent, no one spoke, but none of them had the intention of leaving.

Soon, one of the most prestigious old men in the crowd, Zhao Yucai, who was also the battalion commander of the last defender of Yinma City before, raised his head, looked at Chen Ning, and said slowly: "Colonel Chen, you let us escape, but where can we flee?" Some of our people here used to be in Qingxiu City, some in Wucheng, some in Zhaocheng, and some from Guancheng, no matter where we retreated, we were destroyed, our relatives were all dead, and the rest of our relatives, except here, were in the tearful rebels. ”

Zhao Yucai paused and continued: "The southern province is full of war smoke, we have no place to stay, we are finally here, rebuild our homeland, here has just grown the tender seedlings of hope, but we want to flee." I'm old, I can't escape, I don't want to escape, people are going to die, if I can choose the place of death, then I hope I can die in my beautiful home. ”

Chen Ning frowned when he heard this, and just wanted to speak.

But I didn't expect Zhao Yucai's words to echo among tens of thousands of people, and his words were like a drop of water falling into an oil pot, boiling instantly.

Ah Diao and the others all echoed Zhao Yucai's words, and everyone said loudly: "Yes, Zhao Lao is right, this is already our home, we will not escape, even if we die, we will die here, and live and die with our homeland." ”

Chen Ning wanted to wake up these stubborn people: "Survival, survival or death is called survival, but there is no hope of survival at Hukou Pass, you don't want to leave, only death is waiting, there are no people, where is there any home, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, you have escaped, sooner or later you will settle down in other places and rebuild your homeland!"

Thirteen or fourteen-year-old Diao asked Chen Ning: "Colonel Chen, then why don't you evacuate?"

Chen Ning said in a deep voice: "The zombies want to outflank the back road of our imperial army, and the higher authorities have ordered me to hold here, and I can't retreat." Once the Thunder Tyrant succeeds in outflanking the back road, then he will form a flanking attack on the Imperial army with the Demon Scorpion Tyrant, and the Imperial army is in danger, and I can't let this happen. ”

Diao: "Colonel Chen, we still have some relatives who have been transferred to the command of Tears and Tears to follow the rebels on the front line to prepare for a decisive battle with the Scorpion Tyrant. As you said, if the Thunder Tyrant is allowed to outflank the back road, then not only the Imperial army will be in danger, but even the rebel army will be in danger. We can't let this kind of thing happen, so I decided to stay with Zhao Lao and use my meager strength to help you fight against zombies, even if it is death, I will do it. ”

"Yes, I'll stay too!"

"Yes, we'll all stay!"

Chen Ning has seen the stubbornness of these guys, no wonder these guys are unwilling to flee as homeless, their concept of homeland is really stubborn to the extreme, typical coexistence with homeland.

It may be precisely because of this never-flinching spirit that there will be rebels, and there will be these people who are struggling in the occupied areas, trying to fight against the zombies and rebuild their homes.

If all people don't have this spirit, maybe humanity will retreat again and again, and eventually there will be no way back.

Chen Ning does not admire the extreme practices of these people, but he admires their conduct very much.

For these tens of thousands of residents who do not listen to persuasion and are unwilling to flee, Chen Ning has no choice.

After all, two-thirds of these tens of thousands of residents are elderly, the remaining half are women, and the other half are children.

The news of this zombie attack came too suddenly, and the next time the Liu family caravan arrives here, there will be more than ten days, otherwise, they can let them slowly escape from here with the convoy of the Liu family caravan. Of course, the premise is that these people are willing to go to Suzaku City to live in camps.

In fact, these people are not willing to go to the homeless camp, their relatives just don't want to flee as homeless, in order to protect this homeland are all killed in the war, how can they be homeless now, if they are homeless, the death of their relatives is very meaningless.

In the end, Chen Ning had no way to persuade these people to leave, he could only agree to let these people stay, and all the soldiers and civilians would live and die together with Hukou Pass.

Chen Ning, Kan Jing, and Qin Yingqi immediately began to arrange a defense plan, in addition to reinforcing the fortifications of the city wall at Hukou Pass, he instructed Zhao Yucai and Ah Diao and the people to pick all the vegetables or grains that could be picked in the field, and after two days, the zombie army arrived here, and the vegetables and food grown outside would not have a chance to pick.

Chen Ning is worried about many problems, in addition to the lack of combat effectiveness, the other is the problem of food.

On weekdays, everyone cooks some vegetable gruel, eats some casually, and it will be a meal. The grain in the warehouse can barely last until more than ten days later, when the Liu family caravan transports the grain.

But once there is a fight, it is different.

Soldiers must not drink gruel to fight, they can't eat enough, who has the strength?

In the army, many soldiers are not afraid of death, and they are very obedient, but there is one condition, you must let them eat a full stomach, this is the most basic requirement, no matter what the situation, the soldiers do not eat high stomach to fight, morale and combat effectiveness are absolutely affected.

Tens of thousands of people in Hukou Pass have been baptized by war, and they also understand the importance of food for soldiers, so many old people and women take the initiative to propose: food first meets the soldiers, and then provides it to the children, and strives to make the soldiers have a full stomach, and the children have a mouthful of gruel to eat, and the rest can't take care of so much.

This means that these old people and women are ready to go on a hunger strike.

Chen Ning sent two reports on the situation here, one to Fu Yunfei and one to the Grand Governor, telling the two commanders that his troops would hold on here, but they might not be able to hold it. It is hoped that either Fu Yunfei will withdraw his troops, or the Grand Governor will send troops from Vermilion Bird City to support.

However, the reply was that Fu Yunfei was unwilling to withdraw the army, and Fu Yunfei told Chen Ning that this crisis was an opportunity for danger and coexistence, as long as Chen Ning could hold the rear, they would have a chance to defeat the zombies and the rebels on the front line, and asked Chen Ning to die and hold the Tiger Pass for half a month.

The Grand Governor also sent a message to tell Chen Ning that the military strength of Vermilion Bird City had already been exhausted, and the remaining troops could only meet the city's defense, and could not support Chen Ning.

Chen Ning sighed: "It seems that you can only rely on yourself!"

Chen Ning is now the strength of a double eighth-level general, even if he encounters a lord and does not borrow the power of the Scarlet Tyrant, he will not be able to bear it.

Therefore, he felt that it was very necessary to increase his strength before the Thunder Tyrant arrived, at least to the strength of the double ninth level.

However, with the improvement of his strength, Chen Ning's current spiritual sea has become very vast, and he has cultivated for several months, and the water of martial arts stored is far from enough to fill the spiritual sea.

Although he has more than 20,000 zombie brain cores in his hands, Fang Zheng said that he can't use the energy water of the zombie brain nuclei in large proportions to light up the martial vein nodes, otherwise it is very likely to be corpsed!

Chen Ning muttered, now he still has a lot of strength to be able to light up the ninth martial vein node, and he can't cultivate it in a short time, it seems that if he wants to upgrade to the double ninth-level strength this time, it's a bit hanging!
