*****************
In the battle with the self-rescue army near Neihe City, Qiha City is corpse king suffered a lot of losses.
In particular, its flying corpse troops were almost completely wiped out, which gave it a headache.
So the Corpse King, who returned to Qiha City, began to rest, and he was going to go to the surrounding zombie strongholds to shop around again and collect flying corpses and other enhancement species again.
But the enhanced species are indeed not ordinary zombies that are grabbed by a handful, and most of the enhanced species in the area around Qiha City have been incorporated by it before. It took a while to recollect so many enhancements.
By mid-August, the Corpse King Legion of Qiha City, which had finally regained its strength, went north again.
And not long after they left Qiha City, Chen Yuan, who was in the Steel Castle, immediately received a report: "Fort Chief, the zombies in Qiha City have gone north again, and they have brought a large number of heavy siege equipment this time, and even cannons!" Now just crossed the secondary war alert line! However, they seem to be heading in the direction of Wulian City, and they are expected to arrive near Wulian City the morning after tomorrow. ”
Zhang Fatzi smiled and said: "Haha, they really hit the plan, but it was not in vain that we made arrangements in Wulian City and Wulian Mountain!" ”
Zhang Zeshan said with a smile: "It's best to put the corpse king into the pit this time, if that's the case, the rest of the matter will be much simpler!" ”
Chen Yuan said: "I'm afraid it's not that easy. There are so many mutants in the zombie group, it's not easy to deal with. But at least let it go back and recuperate for a while. ”
The crowd nodded.
Chen Yuan continued: "Inform Wei Chen and my uncle that they can start preparing." Make them pay attention, first of all, take out the artillery units in the zombie horde. This is no small threat to our vehicles. ”
"Understood!"
********
Yes, the reason why Chen Yuan used the tank force to lead the zombies in the direction of Wulian City last time was not for nothing. Rather, it is deliberate.
In order to make the zombies mistakenly think that their settlement is in the direction of Wulian City.
Therefore, this northern expedition of the corpse king's army in Qiha City went straight in the direction of Wulian City.
And Chen Yuan and the others arranged two big traps here in advance as a big gift to the zombie army of Qiha City in the second northern expedition.
The first trap is in Wulian City.
Chen Yuan sent Wei Chen's special operations battalion out and arranged a large number of explosives here in advance.
Once the zombie horde is introduced into Wulian City, they will detonate all the explosives and blow up the entire Wulian City and the zombie army in the city.
Anyway, after the victory in the last Battle of Wulian City, the current Wulian City has long been emptied by the Steel Castle, and all that remains is empty rooms and some useless things.
It doesn't hurt at all to blow it up.
And the second trap is on Wulian Mountain.
This is the Five Lotus City in the past, but the people here have already moved into the Iron Castle.
And Chen Yuan and the others are going to use the terrain of Wulian Mountain this time to open up a battlefield and fight a battle with the zombie army.
But that's not the point.
The point is that Chen Yuan asked Chen Shusheng's fire support brigade and Zhang Zhen's 2nd Field Infantry Brigade to pour a lot of gasoline in the woods around Wulian City, preparing to burn the zombies after introducing the zombie group into Wulian City!
In order to make the trap as real as possible, Chen Yuan even ordered the engineering troops to renovate the Five Lotus City. And let the Fire Support Brigade and the 2nd Field Infantry Brigade live here for a while, so that this place is filled with the smell of humanity.
**********
Since the Corpse King Legion of the Northern Expedition brought heavy siege equipment, they moved relatively slowly. The 200-kilometer journey took two days and two nights.
This is because zombies don't get tired, and they don't have a rest for two days and two nights.
Finally, on the morning of the third day, they arrived near Wulian City.
"Battalion commander, the zombies have appeared, when will we act?"
At this time, the special operations battalion of the Self-Rescue Army was already ready in Wulian City. The men of the three special operations brigades sat in the car and hid a few blocks south of Wulian City. When you are ready, go out and seduce the zombies and attract them into Wulian City.
The men and horses of the sniper brigade are also ready to shoot on the nearby buildings, ready to fire at any time!
So the captain of the sniper brigade asked Wei Chen.
But Wei Chen said lazily: "Don't worry. There are still a lot of artillery in the zombie horde! If we move now, we will definitely be bombed! And if the zombie artillery hits our pre-arranged bombs and causes a chain reaction, we will be out of luck ourselves! So let's wait for our artillery units to act! ”
"Understood!"
At this time, the long-range artillery unit of the Self-Rescue Army, which was arranged 10 kilometers away, finally took the lead in firing.
Guided by satellites, they first launched an artillery bombardment of the baggage units in the zombie troops.
The fire coverage of nearly 400 long-range guns is not covered.
A single salvo can blow up a large area of zombie troops into cannon fodder.
The zombies' baggage troops were immediately severely damaged.
However, this time, the Corpse King can bring no less than two million zombie troops, and the baggage troops are also huge.
A round of artillery fire from the self-rescue army, although there were many zombies killed and zombies destroyed, it was less than one percent of the total number of zombie siege equipment.
The remaining zombie baggage troops immediately began to hide.
And the flying corpses in the zombie group also quickly found the artillery positions of the human troops.
Then the Corpse King took control of the remaining twenty or so artillery pieces in the zombie army and began to return fire.
I have to say that with the control of the Corpse King, and a large number of flying corpses to provide them with artillery calibration, the zombie cannons are still quite accurate.
In the second salvo, some shells fell on the artillery positions of the Wulian Mountain Self-Rescue Army. Several artillery pieces of the Self-Salvation Army were blown up, and dozens of officers and men of the artillery unit of the Self-Rescue Army were killed or wounded.
And the point is that they have also learned to shoot and change places.
After only three shellings, they quickly shifted their positions. At least half of the artillery that had allowed the self-salvation forces to return fire was empty.
As a result, the artillery units of the Self-Salvation Army immediately moved their positions.
Instead, the artillery units on both sides began to cat-and-mouse each other.
And the large army of zombies began to rush in the direction of Wulian Mountain.
In fact, if they want to go north to Wulian Mountain, they also have to pass through Wulian City. However, in order to rush to Wulian Mountain as soon as possible, many of the zombies at this time passed from the suburbs. After all, the roads in the city are complicated and full of twists and turns. Not as easy to walk as the suburbs.
So in such a situation, Wei Chen, who was ambushed in Wulian City, began to act, and the snipers took the lead in attacking under Wei Chen's orders. And they deliberately removed the silencer to make it easier for the zombies to spot them.
The people of the three special operations brigades also drove the chariot and deliberately came out to leak their faces, and then began to retreat.
It immediately attracted the attention of the zombie group.
Okay! Sure enough, it's the same equipment used by the troops who attacked them last time!
The Corpse King is furious!
