Due to the destruction of a large number of siege equipment, the third northern expedition of the corpse king's army in Qiha City went bankrupt again.

Even the Corpse King, who has an army of millions of people at his disposal, is not sure that he can capture a powerful human survivor colony like the Iron Ciep with the flesh and blood of zombies alone.

It's just that the loss of the corpse king's army this time can't be said to be much hurtful.

It's even more unlikely that it will collapse like this!

Because of the death of the two female corpses, it is estimated that it will not have much impact on the corpse king in the short term.

At least for now, the Corpse King of Qiha City can still absorb a large number of zombies from other surrounding areas to make up for the loss of troops. It doesn't have to be made by a female corpse.

And the loss of siege equipment is not a problem. There are 3 million zombies working day and night, and the lost siege equipment will soon be replaced.

So only a week later, a new round of the zombie army's northern expedition began.

And this time, before leaving, the corpse king also specially gave a death order to the corpse generals who stayed in Qiha City, so that they could defend Qiha City, and they must not be easily fooled and led away by human troops!

Of course, Chen Yuan and the others also knew the same trick, and they couldn't use it twice in a row here in the Corpse King.

So this time, he didn't continue to send troops to take advantage of the corpse king's northern expedition to make trouble for them in the back.

Instead, it gave full play to the tactics used by Taizu when he organized the anti-encirclement and suppression in the red base area, and implemented the guerrilla warfare strategy of attacking the zombie army by advancing and retreating, chasing after the enemy retreating, harassing the enemy when the enemy is stationed, fighting when the enemy is tired, luring the enemy into depth, and breaking through each of them.

Immediately, the zombies were dizzy, and they were in the clouds. It seems to be stuck in a quagmire, completely dragged down!

For this reason, Chen Yuan also specially invited Qincheng and their students from Shenwuguan Settlement and Yangcheng. After all, these people who have received orthodox military education can really be regarded as the descendants of Taizu and understand the essence of Taizu's tactics.

In this way, during the period from mid-September to mid-October, Steelburg smashed a total of two more northern expeditions of the zombie horde.

Under such circumstances, the Iron Castle finally ushered in the autumn harvest of this year. At this time, the attack on the Iron Fort by the Corpse King Legion of Qiha City has been delayed by the troops of the Self-Rescue Army for more than 3 months!

It's just that, in the process, the Iron Castle is not completely without losses.

In the two northern expeditions behind the zombie group, nearly 500,000 acres of farmland south of the steel castle, which was about to be harvested, was ruthlessly destroyed by the zombie group! Much to the heartbreak of the survivors of the Iron Keep!

Although Chen Yuan and the others immediately organized the collection work after the zombie army withdrew.

But in the end, the total grain production of the Steel Fortress that year only reached more than 420,000 tons.

That's half less than last year!

Although, 420,000 tons is actually not too little, saving some food, it is enough for the current population of the Steel Castle to eat for three years! And the Iron Castle is now not short of food at all.

But it's still painful! Everyone has worked hard for a year, and in just a few days, half of it has been ruined by zombies! How can you not be angry!

In addition, Yangcheng's grain production in the Steel Fort has also been affected to a certain extent this year.

But fortunately, their grain production base north of Shenwu Pass has a bumper harvest this year.

Moreover, the Iron Castle reduced their rent, so the loss was not too big.

Then, on October 22nd, the first snow of the year finally fell in the Nenjiang area.

This means that the long winter in the Northeast is about to begin.

Everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Because next, they will face a castrated version of zombies by the cold weather in the Northeast!

**********

On October 25, the snow that had fallen two days earlier had melted.

Chen Yuan and the others received information that the Corpse King Legion in Qiha City had once again launched a northern expedition against the Iron Castle.

And this time, Chen Yuan also sent troops to harass the zombie army in the north.

At the same time, a formal request for help was also sent to the Shenwuguan settlement, Yangcheng and Heishui settlement.

Chen Yuan felt that it was time to teach this Qiha City Corpse King a hard lesson!

*********

The first to arrive at the Iron Citadel were the troops of the Blackwater Settlement.

They are only a 3-hour drive from the Iron Castle, which is very close.

And this time, they sent more than 24,000 troops!

In the same area, the people of the Blackwater Settlement fully understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth.

What's more, the Iron Citadel is now simply the umbrella to the south of the Blackwater Settlement.

If the Steel Citadel is breached, then the Corpse King Legion in Qiha City will go all the way north to the city of the Blackwater Settlement!

This year, it is precisely because of the Steel Castle that the zombie group in Qiha City has been dragged in the south that they can work and produce safely in the north. There was a good harvest year, and the total grain output reached more than 1.3 million tons!

Therefore, for this reason, the people of the Blackwater Colony will now only hope that the Iron Castle would better stand forever!

In addition, the relationship between the two settlements is also in the honeymoon period.

Since the last time the troops of the two families worked together to kill the corpse general army of Sun County. Nowadays, the military and economic cooperation between the two countries is getting closer and closer.

This time, 12,000 troops were sent from the Blackwater Settlement, and they were equipped with the new weapons of the Steel Fortress!

They were the second to get the new weapons of the Iron Keep, after the troops of Oil City.

And this time, Chen Yuan didn't invite the troops of Oil City to come to the Iron Fort to assist in the defense, they had another mission!

************

The troops from the Shenwuguan Settlement and Yangcheng also arrived at the Steel Fort the next day.

Some of them came by plane, first to Gedach, and then by car or train from Gedach to the Iron Castle.

Others, by train, head north to the Iron Castle.

The total number of troops has also reached 42,000, and all of them are equipped with new weapons!

Shenwuguan even brought 32 spider battle robots this time! and a mechanized powered brigade, that is, units that use exoskeletons. In terms of the firepower of their long-range attacks, they are still very impressive. Playing defensive battles is very suitable.

As a result, the airport and train station of Steelburg became extremely busy.

So in Xinha City, Chen Yuan didn't ask them for help at all. Even if it is called, it is estimated that it will be like the last time they did in Yanhuang City, sending some troops that are purely causing chaos. It's better not to have it at all!

At this time, not only affected by the weather, but also by the continuous attack of the self-rescue army, the zombie army from Qiha City, after more than 1 day of marching, has just walked out of less than 30 kilometers!

Next, it will certainly be a long journey for them.

On the side of the Steel Castle, Chen Yuan and the others were already discussing with Qin Cheng and the others how to deal with the zombie army......
