Chapter 223: The General Direction of Future Development!
For the offensive and defensive lines, the most difficult bone to gnaw is the boulder corpse. These big guys were eradicated, and the corpse tide was confined to narrow streets, and no matter how fierce the attack was, it could not pose any threat.
Ten thousand arrows were fired in a volley, and another artillery sister cooperated with the attack, and the corpses were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they were strangled in pieces.
By the time those big guys with rough skin and thick flesh formed an impact scale again, Li Ba and the others, plus Brother Monkey, had already recuperated and rushed over again. After a fierce fight, strangle all the boulder corpses, and then retreat.
In this way, the second line of attack and defense is unbreakable, and countless zombies have been destroyed.
According to the battle plan drawn up by the military, the Artemisia annua poison gas bomb was first airdropped to kill more than 60 percent of the ordinary zombies and first-class zombies in Hengshan County. Subsequently, the narrow terrain of the street was used to limit the scale of the influx of corpses. Concentrate on laying down three lines of attack and defense, weakening the number of corpses layer by layer.
It is expected that after the withdrawal of the three lines of attack, the total number of corpses will not exceed 50,000. At that point, let the evolutionary with the ability to control set up obstacles along the way, fight and retreat, and stretch the battle line...... Until all the corpses are wiped out.
The battle plan developed by the military is good. It's just that they didn't expect the Harvest Merchant House to be so powerful. According to the current situation, only the second line of attack and defense will be able to resist the tide of corpses until they are all wiped out.
"Lao Geng, if it goes on like this, it seems that we don't need to make a move!"
The third line of offensive and defensive lines, gathering all the elite forces of the military. The number of ballistas alone is twice as large as that of the Harvest Firm. Neatly arranged in five rows, the sharp arrows glowed with a cold light in the sunlight.
"Well, so far, they have killed at least 50,000 zombies. According to previous speculation, the remaining zombies in Hengshan County are no more than 30,000 at most. "Geng Wensheng knows actuarial science. When the harvest trading house started, I kept paying close attention. I already have an approximate number in my mind.
"It's not going to go on like this!"
Wang Feng frowned. He has dealt with Li Ba a lot, and he knows the temperament of this bald guy, if the military does not participate in the war this time, when it comes to distributing materials, it will definitely suffer.
"Old Geng, you talk to Han Xue. Let her go and discuss with Li Guangtou, the people of the Harvest Trading House can be withdrawn, and then ...... Leave it to our military to figure it out. Wang Feng thought about it and had this proposal. Geng Wensheng and several other high-ranking military officials all agreed.
They had carefully observed the combat methods of the Harvest Trading House, as well as the general situation of the corpse tide. In Hengshan County, although there are a large number of high-level zombies, the number of remnants of the corpses is not much under the early clean-up of the Huanghao poison gas bomb and the harvest trading bank. with the existing forces of the military. Enough to cope.
At this moment, please fight, and when the time comes to distribute supplies, you will have more confidence.
Although Han Xue is the third lady of Li Ba, the owner of the harvest trading house, she is nominally subordinate to the top of the military. Therefore, this operation is also to participate in the war as a military personnel.
After Geng Wensheng and Zheng Jun came over and discussed with her. Han Xue had no objection, and then went to the second line of defense. Counsel with your own man.
Just after the fierce battle, sweating profusely. Li Ba, who was comfortable all over, saw Han Xue coming over, and immediately greeted him with a smile.
"This battle went well!"
Han Xue took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat for him. The movements are extremely gentle.
Li Ba smiled and said, "Wang Feng asked you to come...... Well, let me guess, these guys see that the situation is very good. For fear that the corpse tide will be wiped out by Lao Tzu, he will not give them materials when the time comes. Now you want to be a lobbyist, and you want Lao Tzu's men to retreat and the military people to take over, don't you? ”
"Dead fatty. Better than a ghost, I know I can't hide it from you! Han Xue scolded with a smile.
Li Ba laughed after hearing this, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter, they want to take over, and my people will withdraw." He originally didn't plan to occupy all the supplies in the entire Hengshan County, but now that the military has this proposal, he is happy to fulfill it, just to let his subordinates rest and rest.
At the sound of the order, all the combatants of the Harvest Merchant began to retreat from both sides in an orderly manner. The Guards Brigade was responsible for the rear, laying many obstacles along the way to stop the approaching tide of corpses.
When the men and horses of the Harvest Trading House withdrew behind the third line of offensive defense, under Wang Feng's order, the military fighters immediately launched an offensive. Six hundred ballistas fired in a volley, and the arrows rained down on them, shooting away in a dense manner, immediately blocking the approaching tide of corpses.
The military formation is similar to that of the Harvest Firm. The normal Evolver guards the inside of the ballista, and the Ability Evolver guards the wings. In the rear, there were also nearly 3,000 ordinary armed men, each hand-made with a pair of crossbows, firing them into the sky. The attack area covers a wide area, and it is better than the harvest trading house.
With them in action, Li Ba was happy to be idle, and led his men to set up a stove a kilometer away from the rear to prepare lunch. Of course, most of the personnel still maintain the combat formation to prevent accidents.
The flock of fighting chickens led by Ji'er and Dahua fell. A flock of large birds gathered around Li Ba, chirping.
"Okay, I know that you have a lot of credit, and Lao Tzu will be rewarded!"
Li Ba smiled and took out a few handfuls of crystal nuclei from his pocket and sprinkled them on the ground. All the fighting chickens chirped excitedly and began to peck at the crystal nuclei like chicks.
These offspring of Dahua, Li Ba spent careless blood, and from hatching, he and Ji'er fed them. Therefore, he is extremely loyal to the owner of Li Ba.
The big birds ate happily. Li Ba is here, boiling water to make tea, and setting up a pot for cooking. In his estimation, as long as there is no accident, when the meal is ready, the corpses in Hengshan County should be wiped out.
The hard bones were basically in front, and they were strangled by him and his men. Nowadays, the number of boulder corpses that appear in the corpse tide is very small. A few people rushed over and were immediately besieged by the military powerhouses. Even if the body of the boulder is rough and thick, no matter how strong its defense is, it will not be able to withstand the attacks of many ability evolutionaries, and it will be quickly destroyed.
"Boss, although there are many high-level zombies here in Hengshan County, the number of xenomorph zombies is small, and the venom zombies have not been seen at all!"
Next to the truck, a sun umbrella was erected. All the upper floors sit around the table. Feng Xiaoyang took a sip of tea and said what he observed.
"It's kind of weird!"
So far, there are only two kinds of xenomorph zombies in Hengshan County, fire-breathing corpses and giant turtle zombies, and the number is extremely small, estimated to be no more than fifty. As early as the first line of attack and defense, it has been wiped out.
"There are a lot of mutant zombies, and aside from other factors, the overall strength is stronger than the corpse tide in Liyang County!" Stone said in a deep voice.
Li Ba nodded, took a sip of tea, and said, "Humans are evolving, and zombies are also evolving. This is an evolutionary race of life and death, and whoever evolves faster will win the final victory! ”
At this point, he looked at everyone present, and said slowly: "Therefore, we must hurry up, take Xibu City as the center, and continue to extend outward, destroy zombies, obtain crystal nuclei, and improve ourselves." ”
"The boss is right." Yang Jian echoed on the side, "Once the zombie evolves as a whole and its strength exceeds the second level, the Artemisia Poison Gas will lose its effectiveness, and then we will lose the opportunity." ”
Everyone listened and nodded in agreement.
"Raising war with war is the general direction of the future development of Xibu City. For our Harvest Trading Bank, in addition to fighting to support the war, there is also a shortcut, which is to expand the business territory. ”
Li Ba took out a map. This map is a relic from the Evolver of Jiangbei City, who copied a copy from the military. The map unfolded, Li Ba pointed to the red dot on it, and said, "Look, this is a map drawn by Jiangbei City. To the north of Hui Province alone, there are twenty-seven settlements. Although the number of people is not marked, judging from the size of the mark, there are at least ten settlements larger than my Xibu City. With the current amount of grain stored by our commercial bank, once the commercial route is opened, it is not difficult to exchange for a large number of crystal nucleus materials! ”
"Yes, what is most lacking in the last days, of course, is food! However, we lack everything in Xibu City, except for food and supplies! ”
Yang Jian's eyebrows fluttered, and his face was full of excitement.
The same is true for Shi Feng Xiaoyang and others. When new grains are studied, a bumper harvest can be achieved almost once a month. Nowadays, not only the warehouses of the headquarters of the trading houses, but also the large and small warehouses in the city are rented, and they are full of all kinds of food and materials. If you use it to trade with other settlements, you won't have a problem earning crystal nuclei at all.
"But here, Nanchao City, is marked with a danger mark."
Han Xue pointed to the map, thirty-two kilometers north of Hengshan County, marked with a skull warning symbol, and said slowly: "It is located in the north-south hub of Hui Province, and if we want to open up the commercial routes to various settlements, we must pass through here." Otherwise, if you take a detour, the traffic is very inconvenient, and you pass through many mountainous areas, and the danger factor increases! ”
Li Ba nodded. He had carefully studied this map, and he had already discovered what Han Xue said.
"It's a pity, we didn't stay alive at the time, otherwise if we caught a Jiangbei City evolutionary, we would know the general situation of this Nanchao City!"
Li Ba said this, squinting his eyes at the scene of the fierce battle between the military and the corpse tide to the north, and after a long time, Fang said leisurely: "When Hengshan County is taken, I should also go out and go around, and by the way, explore the internal situation of this Nanchao City!" ”
"Boss, I'll go with you!" Feng Xiaoyang was the first to speak.
"I'll go too!"
"Boss, I'm familiar with Nanchao City, you must take me!"
"Brother, and me!"
Shi Yang Jian'er and others have expressed their intention to go out with Li Ba and see the outside world.
Seeing this, Li Ba smiled: "This is my plan, there is no specific implementation time for the time being, don't be so anxious that you can't wait to set off tomorrow!" ”
"If you really want to go, I'll be with you."
Li Ba's words didn't make much difference. Han Xue also opened her mouth to say that she wanted to see the outside world with him.
"Anyone can do it, you can't, Yanyan and Jiyue are inconvenient, if you leave again, who will watch Xibu City for me!"
Li Ba shook his head and refused, his attitude was very resolute.
Just when Han Xue was about to open her mouth to persuade her man, there was an abnormal situation on the third line of attack and defense laid by the military.
The earth shook, and Li Ba and others, who were a kilometer away, also felt it clearly and stood up one after another. (To be continued......)
