Chapter 102: Bait
While Lu Jingzhi and Sugar Candy were playing "hide and seek", the scouts sent out by Tilly spotted the human soldiers who had gradually explored. With Tilly's order not to fight, the undead scouts simply passed the news back. At the same time that the scouts discovered the humans, and even a little earlier, the humans discovered the undead. In the binoculars, the ugly faces of the low-level undead were pulled close, the hollow eye sockets flashed with a red glow, and the carbonized facial muscles were stiff and dry, looking like they were exuding the smell of death.
"Go talk to Team C and let them cover our right flank and we'll flank us from the left. The captain of Team I said to Herald Tom that this time they were the first to contact the Undead Army.
Tom stood up, trotted to the corner of the path behind him, clenched his left hand into a fist, crossed his left chest, swung down to the left twice, and then stretched out the five fingers of his right hand, and the palm of his hand was stretched out in a blocking motion.
Team C was about 200 meters away from Team I, and Team C's signal soldier watched Tom's movements through the telescope and whispered to Team C's captain: "Boss, Team I has found the enemy on the other side, let's help them look at the right flank, they rushed over from the left to surround those people." ”
The captain of Team C snorted and said, "These cunning guys always let us wipe their butts." Promise them, and we'll go. Seeing that the signal corps had gone to gesticulate, he turned to the others and said, "Team I is going to fight the enemy desperately, and our task is to protect their flanks from being flanked on both sides." Everyone follows me and moves forward. ”
More than thirty people, armed with their own weapons, walked through the sparse forest, and the distance of 200 meters took less than two minutes for all to pass. This is a small piece of high ground, hiding here can overlook the front, extending the field of view for 5 to 6 kilometers, in front of the high ground is a small steep slope, lying on the ground is difficult to be spotted by the people below, no wonder Team I chose this place as a hiding place. After taking over this small piece of terrain, the captain of Team C arranged for his men to quickly deploy their positions 15 meters behind, setting up 60mm mortars and .50 heavy machine guns. While it's a bit of a waste of manpower to do so before the next move is confirmed, the captain of the C team believes in the principle of being careful, and as long as he is likely to stay in one place for more than 10 minutes, he will arrange for someone to do it.
Team I had advanced more than 60 meters on the left by this time, and they were advancing in stealth, and the camouflage on their bodies made it difficult to spot their small and swift movements. Just like a predatory deer, it is difficult to spot leopards walking through the grass and woods. But the undead scouts sensed something was wrong and sent two horsemen to scout the small patch of trees ahead. Beyond the woods, there was the position of Team C, and although the main firepower was hiding behind the high ground, there was no need to worry about being seen by the undead cavalry passing through the woods, but unfortunately, Team I was inside.
The undead cavalry didn't see that there were people inside until they were 20 meters away from Team I, and in order to see more clearly how many people there were, one of the cavalrymen urged his horse to plan to watch it closer. In his opinion, the humans hiding in the woods were either too few in number to fight him, or they were human slaves who had escaped from a knight's fief, or they would have rushed out long ago. Ten thousand steps back, even if those are enemy soldiers, but they don't have horses, they ride on horses, as long as they look dangerous, just flee, they can't catch up if they want to.
But this undead cavalry missed a little, and the other party had a gun.
The captain of Team I originally wanted to catch him alive, but he didn't expect the other party to find his whereabouts 20 meters away, but he saw that he didn't run away. Seeing that the opponent drew his saber and approached him in a defensive posture, the captain of Team I raised the C7 assault rifle in his hand, and fired a short shot, and two small-caliber bullets hit the opponent's chest. The impact of the bullet knocked the opponent away, followed by a series of long bursts that knocked the opponent off the horse. Seeing this, the other undead cavalryman estimated that he had rushed up and given away his head in vain, turned around and ran away. The three-man fire team prepared by Team I immediately replenished the fire, and a few bullets cut off a corner of the cavalryman's shoulder armor, but still let him run away.
"It's a pity, I guess I was killed. The captain of Team I looked at the cavalry who had fallen from his horse and said regretfully, "Medic, go and see how he is." ”
The medical officer trotted over and looked at the cavalryman on the ground, startled by his ugly appearance. The face seemed to be skinless, with bundles of muscles sticking to the bones one by one, and you could even see the yellowed bones underneath through the gaps in the muscles. Although he was afraid, the medical officer had the courage to touch the cavalryman's neck, and sure enough, there was no pulse.
"He's dead, sir. The medic shouted, stood up and turned around, looking at the captain of Team I, and suddenly saw that the captain had raised his gun at him, aiming it at his head. "Boss...... You...... You're going to ......"
"Get down!" shouted the captain of Team I, the medical officer was not stupid at all, and when he heard this, he threw himself on the ground with a big horse, only to hear two shots and a thud. He hurriedly climbed away a few steps, and looked back, the corpse of the cavalryman had just changed its position and fell to the ground, its ugly face was beaten to pieces, but its feet were still struggling to get up from the ground.
"This ...... This ......" The medical officer was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and backhanded his gun. But when he rushed out to check on the cavalryman just now, he threw his gun on the ground beside him, and now he was so nervous that he forgot all about it, and instinctively groped it behind his back.
"He's not dead," the captain of Team I walked over and kicked the corpse of the cavalryman, whose leg immediately turned around and tried to wrap around the captain's foot, but the captain took it away, "I don't know what it is, but this thing is definitely not human." ”
"Boss, just ...... I touched his neck just now, and there was no pulse at all. I...... I thought he was dead. The medical officer stood up and stared at the corpse on the ground, which was no longer moving.
The captain of Team I kicked the corpse again, and when he saw that it was motionless, he said, "Of course it won't have a pulse, haven't you seen that it didn't even bleed a little after being shot?"
When a small-caliber bullet hits a person or animal, it will only leave a small hole at the point where it hits, and the small hole will not bleed immediately, but when the bullet penetrates the body and comes out from the other side, it will dig out the hole the size of the bowl, and the flesh will be sprayed out. So if a person is shot head-on, he will be hit on his back by the impact and fall on his back, and the bullet hole in the front of the body will not bleed a lot, but the blood will flow out a large area under the body, and it will not stop at all.
There was no blood under this corpse, and I didn't even see the flaw, which was really careless. The medic thought in horror.
"Looks like we all know what we're fighting against. The captain of Team I picked the corpse with his feet and turned it over, and sure enough, he saw that a large hole had been drilled in the leather armor behind it, revealing rotting muscles and internal tissue. If this was a person, he would have died long ago and could not have died anymore.
"Chief, shall we talk to the above?" asked the medical officer.
"Wilson has already said it. The captain of Team I thought for a moment, and then called out, "Come here, Wilson, and Tom, and take this thing back to the headquarters near the entrance of the cave on your bike, I heard that the scientists were studying it there." Let them take another look at our new loot. Also, be careful when moving it, don't let it bite, maybe it's a zombie. ”
Tilly received the scout's return, and after mentally calculating the time, distance, and number of people, she had a plan. He instructed the maid to call Hashi and ask him to order the cavalry of his headquarters, and transferred 20 heavy cavalry from the heavy cavalry camp to him, and asked him to capture the humans hiding in the woods 40 kilometers away.
"This kind of thing doesn't have to bother the heavy cavalry battalion. Hash refused, "I have hundreds of cavalry under my command to fight, and it's just a matter of capturing dozens of humans, which is not a big deal." ”
"If you can do it, of course, best," Tilly didn't give him a chance to retort, "these 20 heavy cavalry, you can be prepared and not take your spoils." But if you fail, they will be your back. ”
Hash think about it, if your cavalry can successfully complete the task, these heavy cavalry are decorations, if you really have any accidents, you can have more chances to turn the tables.
40 kilometers is not close, but it is not far either. The undead war horse will not get tired, as long as the large army can keep up, it can run as fast as it wants. Two hours later, the vanguard of the light cavalry saw the scouts, who pointed out the woods where they had been engaged.
The captain of the light cavalry vanguard is a subordinate of Hash, and has also learned that Hash despises the idea of humans, although Hash and the cavalry army have not yet caught up, but the vanguard wants to complete the task by themselves, so that Lord Hash can impress him. When he heard that a few humans were hiding in the woods, using crossbows that could emit fire, he attacked the cavalry, and he was immediately furious, called for more than a hundred cavalry he had brought, and rushed towards the sparse woods with a roar.
Team I was no longer there, and after the first encounter with the enemy, Team I abandoned the woods, shifted positions, retreated more than 100 meters, and deployed its firepower on another slope. Since those monsters that can't be killed have suffered here, they will definitely come back. Sure enough, after lunch, the guys came.
The vanguard of the undead had just reached the clearing outside the woods when Team I spotted them. When they rushed into the woods, they inevitably reduced their speed, and even their agility was limited by the trees. The captain of Team I first let the snipers open fire, and knocked out several cavalrymen behind the team, who fell in the dense woods, forming a roadblock and blocking the way back of the cavalry squad, at which point the captain of Team I gave the order to open fire.
The squad's two .50 heavy machine guns, six squad machine guns, and all assault rifles with grenades fired in a volley, leaving the small arms to act as a last barrier when they rushed out of the woods. When the machine gun fired, tracer bullets corrected the trajectory of the bullets and drew bright lines in the air, and where these bright lines swept over, it was either a man shouting a horse neighing or a stump with broken bones. The cavalry behind had to dodge attacks that could not be dodged at all, and on the other hand, they had to avoid the horses and companions who had fallen to the ground. There is not one in ten that can rush out of the woods. And after these dozen light cavalry rushed out, they were immediately hit by concentrated fire, and before they could increase their speed, they were knocked down by random guns, and even several grenades were blown to pieces.
Is the hash coming? Will humanity go further? I want to know what happens next, and let's see the next breakdown.
