Chapter 65: The Real War Goes to war
The terrain of the preset battlefield is excellent, with a river flowing from the left side of the battlefield, and this river flows from the edge of the valley town from which they set out, and flows from the green leaf city to the sea. The river is so turbulent that only a handful of zombies can swim upstream, threatening the flanks.
On the right side of the battlefield is the remnants of the mountains, and the rugged terrain limits the possibility of zombies charging in groups.
This is a human race all sorting, and if it doesn't work, it becomes a benevolent, which is why Ryan sees that there are old, weak, sick and disabled people in this group. Because the battle against the zombies must be quickly decided, and in the decisive battle, you must not delay. Otherwise, every warrior who dies will become the power of zombies, and the tactics of adding fuel will definitely not work.
At this point, Kenway returned with his men, saying that there were too many zombies to blend in close to the suburbs. There is really no way to further investigate the specific time of the zombie's arrival.
Ryan volunteered to try to scout, and he and Kenway piloted a robot to the nearest safety point to the city.
Once at a safe point, Ryan unleashed his newfound life magic with all his might. He immediately sensed that there was a lot of filthy unnatural creatures in the entire city. He condensed his perception into a line and leaned in the direction of the city. Due to his new knowledge of magic and his lack of proficiency, this perception is limited by distance and is very vague, and it is impossible to distinguish specific units. But it's enough to sense the distribution of zombies in the scanned area.
Upon learning that Ryan's scanning range is limited, Kenway maneuvers the robot around the city's perimeter. After circumnavigating the city, Ryan sketched a map of the zombies in the city, and marked several points where he reacted more strongly than the other zombies.
Because of the presence of high-level zombies, Ryan felt that it was likely that all the scattered zombies around him were attracted to the high-level zombies. Because in his perception, the number of zombies is definitely more than the population of Green Leaf City before the disaster.
Back at camp, Ryan told Dave what he had spotted. Dave listened to their briefings and quickly told Kenway to rush back to town and pull all the plants outside that could be used by steamer.
After the order was given, Dave turned to Ryan and thanked him for bringing the information. Because these pieces of intelligence represent two pieces of news, one good and one bad. The good news is that it may take up to 48 hours for these zombies to attack, giving the human army enough time to build fortifications and get ready.
The bad news is that after the failure of the last zombie decapitation operation, the left-behind high-level zombies in Green Leaf City have attracted a large number of wandering zombies to strengthen themselves to survive this vulnerable stage. If these situations are not detected this time, it is likely that there will be a big loss on the human side.
After that, it was time to build the fortifications, and the humans operated the robots to build high platforms and protective walls in the position, dug a large number of trenches in front of the position, and attracted water from the river to flood the low-lying areas at the front of the position, creating a swamp to delay the zombie operation.
It was time after lunch, a steamboat came from the direction of the town, full of plants, and thanks to Kenway, an old captain, there was no way anyone else could sail on such a fast river.
"Don't all these plants have a combat mode, why do you have to pull the plants from behind?" Ryan asked Dave, puzzled.
"Quite simply, plants can only enter battle mode if they have a lot of them. In this place, the plants can't enter battle mode at all. Originally, I didn't expect that there were so many zombies, and I thought that I could solve the problem with just the plants on the robot, so that I could save some plant seeds and wait until I recovered Green Leaf City.
Unfortunately, the current situation can only be deployed in this area first, and the worst is prepared. Not to mention that the combat effectiveness of plants has decreased in battle mode, and it is okay to fight in residential streets, but it is more suitable for the original plants in this field situation. ”
With that, Dave distributed all the pots and asked each combatant to bring them.
Less than half an hour after lunch at noon the next day, he was sitting in his tent practicing the life magic left behind by the Vikings. A bell rings from the high platform, and Ryan rushes out of his tent and onto the protective wall, only to find an army of green zombies with no end in sight walking along the road before the apocalypse towards the camp.
Tens of thousands of zombies even covered the small plain in front of the position. Ryan could even see some particularly tall zombies staggering in the middle of a group of zombies.
Fortunately, after more than 5,000 robots worked overnight, the human camp has built enough fortifications, and the swamp at the front and around the camp are covered with potato mines. The trench was lined with torch stumps and various pea shooters, and there was a nut wall in front of the trench as a shield.
Around the core of the camp is a protective wall seven or eight meters high, connected to a high platform of about ten meters. Protective walls and platforms are filled with pitcher plants and corn cannons, giving them a longer range to cover the plants in the trenches for battle. In addition, robots filled with plants are operated by humans as reserves, ready to replenish areas lacking firepower.
Ryan's mission in the battle is to fight at the forefront with the reserves, and provide Dave, who is in command in the rear, with the changes in the zombies in front at any time, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the strength of the human side.
Ryan found that the morale of the human side was quite high, because this was the first time they had launched a counterattack, and as for the possible fear emotion, it had been so many years since the end of the world to be afraid.
With a terrible scream from the zombies on the opposite side, the zombie hordes pounced like a tidal wave, and the war began.
The first batch was just a few cannon fodder zombies, which soon crumbled under the fire of the plants. The next few batches only slightly increased the number of zombies, and they were eliminated before they touched the trench. It seems that this should be a reconnaissance operation launched by high-level zombies, but Ryan also found that the zombies' attack is far less organized than the last time Ryan encountered, which is likely because there are too few high-level zombies, so they can only roughly command the zombie group, which should be considered good news.
Finally, a threatening assault was launched at the beginning of the fourth wave of zombie attacks. They use several ice car zombies as their assault spearheads, and there is a row of rugby zombies behind them.
They charged straight towards the human position, and due to their stronger defenses, they suffered some losses before passing through the swamp to the vicinity of the first trench.
Seeing this, the reserve team that Ryan followed also went out, and they rushed to the spearhead of one of the zombie assaults, preparing to destroy this wave of zombies through the high-level plants equipped on the robots.
