After the communication soldier turned to leave, Chen Shuyuan asked, "Son, in which direction do you think these zombies will attack us?" ”

Chen Yuan thought for a while and said, "I think it should be the west, at least the west should be the main direction of attack." ”

"How?"

He explained: "Don't look at the river now. However, neither the giant corpses nor the large siege engines can cross the river, so they should concentrate on the west and attack us. But the south side is not to be taken lightly. If it were me, I'd line up some zombies to the south to distract us. To the east and north, pay attention to air defense and beware of sneak attacks by flying corpses. ”

Chen Shuyuan nodded, fortunately, they had already arranged these things.

"Then Hatu Village will be fine, right?" Zhu Changshun asked cautiously. Hatu Village is an important base for their heavy industry, and it also stores a lot of supplies, and if the zombies destroy it, it will also be a huge blow to the Iron Fortress.

Chen Yuan said: "It should be fine. There is no one in Hatu Village, and zombies will not be interested here. With the wisdom of the corpse leader, it should not be enough to think of implementing the 'three-light policy' against us. Even if they destroy some facilities, we can fix them quickly. ”

In the last generation, many settlements would set up heavily polluting factories outside the settlements. As long as it is not the corpse control above the corpse king to lead the attack, the damage will not be particularly serious. That's why Chen Yuan dared to set up factories and warehouses in Hatu Village so blatantly.

After about five minutes, Chen Yuan received Xu Kai's report again: "Castle Chief, there is a new move in the zombie group. ”

Chen Yuan immediately asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"About 2,000 or so zombies suddenly picked up speed and sprinted towards the Iron Castle with all their might. It is expected to be in the vicinity of the Iron Citadel in as little as 15 minutes. ”

Chen Yuan frowned, and it seemed that they had discovered Jiang Wenli and them. So he immediately asked the signal soldier: "Jiang Wenli, where are they now?" ”

The signal soldier replied: "I have just passed Xiba Village, which is 10 kilometers away, and I can reach it in 10 minutes." ”

"Looks like it's fine!" After hearing the report, Chen Yuan finally felt relieved, then nodded and replied, "Inform them to drive directly into the Steel Castle like us." ”

"Yes!"

After 10 minutes, Jiang Wenli and Zhang Zhen's team finally returned without incident. At this time, more than 2,000 zombies have appeared 5 kilometers away.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Jiang Wenli and Zhang Zhen also just stopped, so they immediately got out of the car and ordered the troops to assemble, and then rushed to their own defense area. Jiang Wenli's 3rd Battalion was placed on the western wall, while Zhang Zhen's 2nd Battalion was responsible for defending the southern wall.

"The 3rd Company defended the south wall of the 1st Southeast District, the 2nd Company guarded the 2nd South District, and the 1st Company was responsible for the defense of the South 1st District. All set up heavy machine guns. The 1st Company was to be ready to support the western wall. On the southern city wall, Zhang Zhen constantly issued orders to the troops of the three companies.

The Southeast 1 District in Zhang Zhenkou, like the Northeast 1 District, are two new districts created after the population of the Steel Fort increased significantly. Because it is on both sides of East 1 District, it is called Southeast 1 District and Northeast 1 District respectively.

Therefore, there are a total of 3 sections of walls in the south and 2 sections of walls in the west. But after all, the west may be the main direction of attack of the zombies, so Chen Yuan had already told Zhang Zhen in advance that they should be ready at any time, and if necessary, mobilize one company or even two companies to support the west city wall.

At this time, on the gate tower of the western city wall, Chen Yuan and the others were still continuing to observe the enemy's situation.

Looking at the movement of the zombie group 5 kilometers away, Zhang Fatzi reminded: "They seem to be going across the river, and they seem to be heading towards the southern city wall!" ”

"Looks like the corpse was ready to distract us from the start." Zhang Zhen and the others have returned to the Iron Castle, and they have also connected to the network in the castle, so Chen Yuan pressed the intercom and personally informed: "Zhang Zhen, the vanguard of the zombies has gone to your southern city wall, you must be ready." ”

"Don't worry, Castle Chief, I promise to wipe out all these 2,000 zombies under the city walls!"

Chen Shuyuan reminded: "Zhang Zhen, you have to be careful, don't be careless. I saw that there seemed to be a simple ladder prepared in the zombie horde! ”

"Sure enough!" Zhang Fatzi was taken aback: "There really is a ladder." These zombies are all sperm! ”

"It's normal." Chen Yuan said: "The intelligent corpse can even build siege equipment, let alone ladders. ”

Afterwards, he said to everyone: "Lao Zhu and Jiang Wenli stay." Dad, fat man, let's go to the south wall and have a look. ”

"Yes!" Jiang Wenli and Zhu Changshun replied with a salute in unison.

"I feel that this zombie horde is not simple!" On the way to the southern city wall with Chen Yuan, Chen Shuyuan frowned and said worriedly: "These zombies, in the process of running fast, the formation is still very neat!" It already looks like a real army! ”

"Definitely. Above the corpse collar, the legionization of the zombie group is already obvious. When it comes to the zombie group controlled by the corpse general, it is more formal. ”

"But why do their weapons seem rudimentary?" Zhang Fatzi noticed the weapons of this group of zombies: "Whether it is weapons or armor, they are very casual, it seems to be simpler than the zombie army controlled by the corpse system we encountered before." ”

Chen Yuan said faintly: "Because these zombies are just here to test our firepower." It's nothing more than cannon fodder! ”

"2000 zombies as cannon fodder?" Zhang Fatzi sighed: "This corpse collar is too loser!" ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "You don't understand this." The zombies controlled by the corpse control can be replaced at will. Although we have eliminated a lot of zombies in Hada Town, there should be at least 20,000 more. Anyway, it can only control a maximum of 10,000 zombies at a time. So the remaining 2000 can be used as cannon fodder. I estimate that when we finish destroying these 2,000 zombies, there should be 2,000 zombies running out in the direction of Hada Town, and that is its real team. ”

"I see." Zhang Fatzi asked, "By the way, should we first carry out a round of shelling of this zombie group?" That's 2,000 zombies after all! Zhang Fatzi was still a little nervous in his heart, so far, the largest group of zombies they had eliminated was only 1,200.

"Don't use it yet, since the zombie group in this attack is cannon fodder, we just use these cannon fodder to test the role of the city wall in the zombie siege battle."

Chen Shuyuan nodded in agreement: "This is really necessary, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you survive a hundred battles!" Now we basically have a preliminary understanding of zombies, but we have not yet achieved a knowledge of our own strength. The stone walls of the north and south walls are only half the height, and it is not known how large the wooden walls can withstand the attack of zombie groups, so it is best to take this opportunity to test it. Then decide if there is a need to upgrade the walls of several resource points. ”

At this time, the zombie group had crossed the Nenjiang River from the ice and landed on the south bank of the Jiangxin Continent. They simply assembled and immediately launched an assault on the southern walls of the Iron Citadel.
