**************
The main force of the zombies really went in the direction of Beichen Mountain.
Wang Luzhou also began to urgently mobilize troops. In addition to letting the general reserve, Qiu Yueheng's independent 6th Brigade, with a force of about 6,000 people, urgently rush to support outside the Beichen Mountain position. The main forces of the coalition forces remaining in Beiguan also took action.
After confirming that the main force of the zombies had indeed gone to Beichen Mountain, they also moved in the direction of Beichen Mountain. And only about a brigade of troops remained on the city walls.
They rode in a car, and the speed was faster than the main force of the zombies, but they were not afraid that the main force of the zombies would suddenly turn back on the way to attack the Beiguan city wall.
But they were even more worried that the small elite force of the zombies had occupied their position in advance, after all, near there, there was only one battalion left on the Yangcheng side, less than 500 troops to defend!
*******
When Wang Luzhou and Chen Yuan were still halfway there, the worst happened.
They received a report that the Beichen Mountain position was missed!
In the face of the fierce attack of more than 200 reinforced zombies such as reptilian corpses, gun corpses, acid corpses and combined corpses, as well as the perverted defense of six mutant zombies, the 500 officers and soldiers of the Yangcheng troops on Beichen Mountain resolutely carried out the order and resisted stubbornly. But in the end, the zombies broke through the position!
Including the battalion commander, almost all 500 officers and soldiers died!
Hearing the news, Wang Luzhou smashed a punch on the armored car in annoyance.
But this was not the time for grief and self-blame, he hurriedly began to discuss countermeasures with Qin Cheng and Chen Yuan!
He asked, "What now, do you want to keep rushing over there?" ”
Qin Cheng said: "Go ahead, it's already halfway anyway, at least let the general reserve team in front try to see if they can recapture the position in time!" ”
Chen Yuan also nodded in agreement, but he said: "But it is best to make two preparations, on the one hand, continue to finish Beichen Mountain, and on the other hand, notify the artillery unit and other troops who are slower to take and transfer in advance to withdraw to the main city in advance!" ”
Wang Luzhou nodded, and while ordering the independent Sixth Brigade, which was the general reserve, in front to speed up, he also ordered the baggage troops to move first.
***********
A few minutes later, the 6th Independent Brigade rushed to the foot of Beichen Mountain. And immediately organized troops and began to charge the positions that belonged to them on the mountain.
But they were immediately violently blocked by the zombie troops on the top of the mountain.
In addition to bone-shattering bullets, strong acid, and various ability attacks, there are also attacks from bows and arrows, rolling stones, logs, and even a large number of assault rifles.
The weapons of nearly 500 sacrificed officers and soldiers, except for some of which were blown up in time by the last few soldiers, the rest have all fallen into the hands of zombies!
(After the emergence of zombies that can use human thermal weapons, several new units set up an important rule, that is, if the troops are defeated, the remaining people should destroy the weapons that cannot be taken away in time to avoid weapons falling into the hands of zombies as much as possible!) )
So Qiu Yueheng's troops were blocked in front of the zombies' position.
In the face of powerful firepower, even zombies can only crawl forward, let alone humans.
When Wang Luzhou and the others arrived at the foot of Beichen Mountain, they saw that Qiu Yueheng's troops were still halfway up the mountain, slowly climbing up. At this time, according to the scout's report, the main force of the zombies was only 2 kilometers away from here.
Wang Luzhou immediately grabbed Qiu Yueheng and scolded: "How did you get it, a force of 6,000 people has not taken the position defended by 150 zombies for so long!" A bunch of old ladies are better than you! Do you have to wait for the main force of zombies to arrive here before you rush up? ”
Qiu Yueheng didn't explain, just lowered his head.
In fact, Wang Luzhou is also in a hurry, under normal circumstances, not to mention 150 enhanced species with powerful firepower and 6 mutant zombies. Even if the enemy is just 150 ordinary people with weapons in hand, condescending and positionally defended, it is normal to hold off a unit for an hour or two.
Unless your troops are not afraid of death at all, and pave a bloody path with thousands of lives!
But people's hearts are flesh and blood, and it is impossible to charge like zombies.
So Chen Yuan persuaded: "Okay! All right! Brother Wang, this is also something that can't be helped. The fire of the zombies is indeed too fierce! Let the officers and men of the 6th Brigade withdraw. ”
"Aren't you fighting?" Wang Luzhou said unwillingly.
Chen Yuan shook his head, pointed to the sky in the distance and said, "It's too late!" Tell all the troops on the first line of defense to evacuate immediately! ”
Everyone looked up, and it turned out that a group of flying corpses had already arrived first with some enhanced zombies, and there were at least thousands of them!
Looking at this distance, it is estimated that it will not take 2 minutes to fly over! This is still because there are other zombies hanging under the flying corpses, so it is not fast to fly, otherwise it is estimated that they will arrive earlier than them.
"Alas!" Wang Luzhou sighed, and finally reluctantly issued the general retreat order.
Thus began a major retreat of all the human forces on the first line of defense.
First of all, the 6th Independent Brigade, which was attacking on Beichen Mountain, received an order to immediately return the same way.
Seeing this, the zombie troops on the mountain thought that they had an opportunity, so they took advantage of the situation to give the retreating human troops a counter-charge, wanting to defeat the human army with less.
But the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Brigade used the weapons in their hands to teach these zombies to be human beings every minute, oh no, they were zombies.
Just now, the zombies used their positions to defend, which greatly reduced the hit rate of the human troops, and now they actually jumped out of the position by themselves, so the officers and soldiers of the sixth brigade naturally had nothing to be polite about.
The 130 zombies that rushed out were killed in almost a dozen seconds. Frightened, the remaining zombies immediately retreated.
The Corpse King doesn't want the position he has secretly grabbed with great difficulty to lose at the last moment!
So the troops of the 6th Brigade successfully withdrew, and together with the main force, quickly moved in the direction of the main city.
At the same time, the human forces in other mountain positions were also retreating. Now that the first line of defense has been lost for a while, the other positions are of little use.
As a result, all the human troops on the first line of defense withdrew to the main city of Yangcheng, relying on the walls of the main city to defend again.
In comparison, the defense system of the main city of Yangcheng is more perfect.
The range of positions here is not as large as the first line of defense, and the human coalition forces have enough troops to carry out a full defense, and it will not be so easy for zombies to take advantage of the loopholes.
And the walls here are higher, two walls, 28 meters and 32 meters respectively. And that's just the clear height of the city walls, and if you add the height of the terrain, it's more than that.
With such a high wall, zombies will have to pay a greater price if they want to climb up.
What's more, at this time, most of the zombies' siege equipment, especially more than a dozen artillery pieces, have been destroyed, and Wang Luzhou has full confidence that he can let the zombies not cross the first city wall here!
