****************
The Corpse King's main force and vanguard have converged, and there are trenches dug by their vanguard in advance, which can be used to hide from the cannonballs of the human forces.
But now the Corpse King is also in a dilemma!
Their baggage troops are still lagging behind and not keeping up!
Moreover, the artillery fire of the Yangcheng side continued to attack its baggage troops, not to mention the continuous losses, and the speed was seriously slowed down.
If this continues, even if some of their baggage troops survive in the end, they will not arrive until tomorrow morning! So what's the point of their main forces coming in advance! To fight at night or not to fight?
So after thinking about it, the Corpse King made a new decision.
On the one hand, it is possible to control the baggage troops behind to be divided into pieces and disperse to advance in order to minimize losses and speed up the advance.
On the other hand, let the main forces here use local materials to make new siege equipment.
********
The zombies' new movements were immediately discovered by the scouts of Yangcheng, and they urgently reported the situation.
Wang Luzhou hurriedly discussed countermeasures with everyone.
"What do you think we are going to do now? With this posture, it looks like they want to attack tonight. ”
Qin Cheng said: "I can only delay as much time as possible." On the one hand, mortar shelling can be carried out against zombie troops that go to logging. On the other hand, immediately send airborne troops to intercept the zombies' baggage troops, and destroy as many as they can. ”
Wang Luzhou nodded and agreed with this plan.
In the end, Qin Cheng also looked at Chen Yuan and asked, "What do you say?" ”
Chen Yuan also nodded, and he said, "I also agree to do this." However, I suggest that before the troops carry out the airborne landing, they should first drop the decoy 1 kilometer above the target. ”
"Lure?" Qin Cheng and Wang Luzhou asked puzzled.
Chen Yuan explained: "Isn't there still 30,000 zombies in the zombie baggage army, I am careful that there may be a lot of flying corpses in it." When the Airborne Forces are airborne, they are too slow and are easily attacked by flying corpses. Therefore, it is necessary to place bait 1 km away in advance to lure the flying corpse away. ”
"yes!" Qin Cheng and Wang Luzhou couldn't help but pat their thighs: "I almost forgot this!" ”
Wang Luzhou said: "Time is urgent, then I will arrange it immediately!" ”
After speaking, Wang Luzhou left.
And Yangcheng's troops quickly moved into action.
The zombies who ran out of the trenches to cut down the wood were the first to be bombarded intensively.
In the process of logging, the location of the zombies is relatively fixed, and the distance is only more than two kilometers, and the accuracy of the shells has been greatly improved.
The zombie horde was immediately hit hard. Many zombies were blown away along with the trees they were cutting down.
However, there are too many zombies they have cut down, and there are trees to cover them, so the materials collected by zombies are still gradually increasing. At this point, Wang Luzhou and they are also very helpless, they can only say that they can delay as much as possible, and the time for zombie logging and manufacturing siege equipment is estimated to be at least two or three hours. If you go to that point and attack again, it will not be far from dawn.
On the other side, the airborne troops in Yangcheng also acted urgently. Groups of soldiers quickly boarded planes and took off at the airport.
Due to the fact that the distance was very close, after the group assembled in the sky over Yangcheng, it only took a few minutes to reach the target sky.
According to Chen Yuan's suggestion, Wang Luzhou ordered the troops to first drop the decoy 1 kilometer away from the target.
Sure enough, as the bait with the indicator light was dropped from the plane, the flying corpses on the ground were immediately attracted and flew in the direction of the bait.
Judging from the footage captured by the night vision camera on the plane, at least 80 flying corpses quickly rushed to the location where the decoy landed at low altitude, and tore more than 200 decoy targets in the air!
Wang Luzhou couldn't help but sweat.
With the speed and agility of these flying corpses in the air, coupled with the cover of the night, there is no decoy to lure these flying corpses away. Then there is a high probability that their airborne forces will suffer heavy losses.
But now, because of Chen Yuan's strategy, 3,000 airborne troops in Yangcheng were able to land at the target location smoothly.
After landing, they began to quickly assemble, and in a company, they dispersed to intercept the zombies' heavy equipment.
The Airborne Forces are undoubtedly the elite troops in the army, and when they make a move, they will naturally gain something.
It's just that the number of airborne troops is still too small, and it's hard to say whether the heavy equipment of the zombies can be clear. Like the Iron Fort, they only had the energy to start reforming the Airborne Forces last year. Recruits are not trained so fast, these are veterans left over from the apocalypse!
Under such circumstances, at around 3 o'clock in the morning, the Corpse King decided not to wait for the siege equipment troops behind.
Hundreds of thousands of zombies gathered outside the northern pass of Yangcheng rushed up with a siege machine that had just been made.
"Not good! Zombies are attacking! Zombies are attacking! On the wall of the pass, the soldier in charge of the guard suddenly shouted.
On the city wall, the officers and soldiers who were lying on the city wall and sleeping in their clothes were immediately awakened and got up one after another to prepare for battle.
The zombies are 2 kilometers away, and they naturally don't dare to go down the city wall to rest, but fortunately, it's late March, and although it's still relatively cold at night, it's already acceptable.
Some of them slept relatively deadly, and were even kicked awake by their squad and platoon commanders.
"Hurry up! When is it, still sleep, sleep! The zombies are besieging the city! ”
At the same time, Wang Luzhou and Chen Yuan, who were also holding on to the city wall, held the city wall with their hands, looked at the zombie army that was rushing quickly not far away, and couldn't help muttering: "It seems that it is really going to start!" ”
**********
Yes, the battle really began, at least 600,000 zombies attacked the city at the same time, even Chen Yuan was well-informed, and he was shocked to see it.
On the human side, it was the artillery units of Yangcheng that took the lead in attacking.
"Bang ......"
The sound of various artillery fire was constantly coming from behind the position.
A large number of mortar and long-range artillery shells pierced the sky and landed in the middle of the charging zombie group, blowing up countless zombies in the fierce fire.
The explosion was really carpet-like.
However, the zombies' counterattack is not slow.
Among the 800,000 zombies, there are at least 800 cannon corpses, and now they have an attack range of more than 2.5 kilometers.
So on the side of the trench dug by the zombies, the cannon corpses of the zombie army launched a counterattack on the human troops on the opposite wall.
Zombie bombs are constantly falling, although there are not many that can accurately land on the city walls, and the power is only comparable to that of human grenades. But it also caused certain casualties to the human defenders, and more importantly, it created panic and psychological pressure, so that the human troops could not attack with all their might.
And as the zombies in the charge kept approaching. Gunshots began to sound on the walls of the human side, and countless bullets gushed out with tongues of fire from the muzzles, heading straight for the rushing zombies.
