**********

It turned out that the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Self-Rescue Army had quietly bypassed Lake Nilki and appeared behind the zombie group while the zombie group was fully pursuing the tank unit of the Self-Rescue Army.

At this time, in order to pursue the tank troops of the self-rescue army, among the zombie groups, those who ran fast and were relatively powerful, had basically rushed to the front.

At the back of the zombie herd are the old, weak, sick and disabled zombies. What lame zombie archers, javelinmen and flaskers with only one hand, and slow-moving zombies like cannon corpses.

Most of them are ranged attacks and are not good at melee combat.

So he relied on himself to be a fully mechanized army with strong defense. Zhang Zeshan and his troops boldly rushed into the tail of the zombie group and gave them a hard blow.

In the face of a group of iron lumps that suddenly rushed in, these disabled zombies with broken hands and feet really had nothing to do, they couldn't exert the true power of zombies at all. Not even the cannon corpse could attack an enemy at such close range. Molotov cocktails will not be able to do anything about armored vehicles. Not to mention bows and javelins!

So the zombies here immediately suffered, and a large number of them were shot and killed.

In addition to a heavy machine gun with powerful firepower on the roof, these armored vehicles also have firing holes on the body for the fighters in the car to shoot. When attacked, it was exactly like a hedgehog on fire.

And the 1st Brigade of the Self-Rescue Army Mechanized Field Infantry that rushed into the zombie group has a total of nearly 400 such "hedgehogs" and more than 6,000 firepower points!

The corpse king who ran in front was suddenly shocked.

It doesn't matter if those old, weak, sick and disabled zombies are, but there are thousands of cannon corpses here! That's one of their important ranged attack firepower!

So it immediately began to mobilize the main force of the zombie group in front of it to return to defense.

Even the elite zombies who were chasing the tank units of the Self-Salvation Army hesitated, because although they were only less than 3 kilometers away from the retreating tank units of the Self-Rescue Army in front of them.

But the two sides fled and chased, and the difference in speed was only 5 kilometers per hour. So these 3 kilometers, it will take at least half an hour to really catch up.

During this time, they have to cover more than 30 kilometers. At that time, if the corpse king who turned back to rescue the rear troops had not kept up and was out of control, they would only have to rely on the corpse general to command on their behalf.

However, each corpse general can only command a maximum of 1,000 enhanced species. There is no way to unify the command. In the face of such a powerful self-rescue army chariot force, the Corpse King doesn't want to repeat the mistake of the previous 3,000 reinforced zombies!

In contrast, the human force that was already entangled with the forces behind them was much easier to chase.

Moreover, the Corpse King believes that he has lost 3,000 reinforcements before, and the Flying Corpse Force is almost completely wiped out, and the Cannon Corpse Force can no longer afford to lose!

Therefore, out of such concerns, the Corpse King finally chose to give up the tank unit pursuing the Self-Rescue Army, and concentrate on dealing with the 1st Mechanized Field Brigade of the Self-Rescue Army that sneaked up on their artillery corpse troops behind them.

So millions of zombies turned around and rushed behind them.

They were menacing, thinking that this time they must destroy the zombies that rushed into the troops behind them.

However, it seems that their plans are about to fall through again.

Because the 1st Field Infantry Brigade of the Self-Rescue Army, which has been completely mechanized, in addition to having strengthened defense and firepower, the speed is also very impressive.

Ordinary armored personnel carriers can reach a maximum speed of 85 kilometers per hour, even if they can only run at a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour in the muddy field, it is no longer something that ordinary zombies can catch up.

So when the main force of the zombie group was about to come back, Zhang Zeshan immediately took his troops and started to run away, bringing the main force of the zombies to the south. Let them gradually move away from the direction of the Iron Castle.

Although at this time, as the distance widened, they began to be attacked by the cannon corpses in the zombie horde. However, after the attack just now, half of the cannon corpses in the zombie army have been killed by them, and the high-speed movement of the armored vehicle at this time makes it not easy to hit! Even if it hits, it will not necessarily blow up the armored vehicle with one shot. So the casualties of the 1 Brigade were still small.

***********

At this time, the tank troops of the Self-Rescue Army did not take the opportunity to continue to harass the zombie group, and continued to "escape" to the east in a puff of smoke, because at this time, their shells were almost used.

In the past ten minutes, the retreating tank units have continued to maintain an attack rate of 6-7 rounds per minute, firing at the zombie hordes. The number of shells carried by an average tank is only 80 rounds at most.

But by this time, their operational objectives had been basically achieved.

On the one hand, they eliminated a lot of zombies, and also gravitated the zombie group to Neihe City, helping the people of Shenye Island to relieve the siege.

On the other hand, and more importantly, they deliberately lured the zombies to the east and then to the south, in order to deliberately create the illusion that their lair might be in the east, and confuse the corpse king.

And if they attract zombies to the south from the start, the Corpse King will definitely guess that the location of the Iron Castle is directly north of River City!

So after the zombie crisis was lifted this time, the second zombie northern expedition really misjudged the direction of the Iron Castle. I went in the direction of Wulian City.

And there, Chen Yuan and the others had already prepared a big gift for them in advance! Of course, that's all for later.

At this time, Zhang Zeshan's 1st Brigade was still continuing to attract the zombie herd to the south.

Although at first, due to being too close to the zombies' troops, they were constantly attacked by artillery corpses during the retreat. However, due to the lack of power of the zombie bombs and the low hit rate of attacking armored convoys in high-speed movement, only three armored vehicles were lost. Compared to the previous loss of zombies, such battle damage is already very low.

And as they continued to move south, the distance between them and the cannon corpses was constantly widened. Later, it was beyond the effective attack range of the cannon corpse.

Then, they continued to move south at a speed of 55-60 kilometers per hour, and finally made a circle in the direction of Fuyu County, 50 kilometers north of Qiha City, crossed the Nenjiang River from the pontoon bridge, accelerated on the road at a speed of more than 75 kilometers per hour, and threw off the zombies and returned to the Iron Castle.

At this time, the zombie army was too lazy to chase this human army. Because the Corpse King has already understood that without flying corpses, they can't catch up with each other at all, and the other party just wants to lure them back.

And this time, it also lost more than 3,500 enhanced species, especially the flying corpse troops brought out were almost wiped out, and it really needs to come back to recuperate.

So the first northern expedition of the corpse king of Qiha City ended, and he returned to Qiha City directly with the zombie army.
