Chapter 656: Fiasco

Zhang Dahu turned around abruptly and saw a scene that shocked him!

I saw that on the slope of the hill behind him, there was a fierce cavalry team charging!

The trembling of the ground was entirely due to the stormtroopers.

Zhang Dahu has never seen so many cavalry charging together in his life, which is really scary.

Damn it......

Zhang Dahu, who had been a horse long enough, immediately realized that he had made a mistake.

It is impossible for this cavalry unit to appear diagonally behind itself without noticing!

They must have gone around in circles with enough patience to outflank themselves.

There is no time to give yourself chagrin and regret!

Zhang Dahu immediately drew manpower from the frontal attacking army to defend against the cavalry assault.

???????????????? In Zhang Dahu's view, relying on the excellent quality and combat effectiveness of the Longshan soldiers, there should be no problem in resisting the charge of this cavalry.

After all, the old way of fighting like a cavalry charge is vulnerable to bullets.

However!

Things are once again beyond Zhang Dahu's imagination!

After the first round of volleys, Zhang Dahu was surprised to find that there were very few cavalry fallen in the place!

This is absolutely abnormal.

This does not correspond to the characteristics of living beings.

Why can't you hurt these cavalrymen when you hit them?

Soon......

Zhang Dahu found the problem!

Dog!

It's not humans at all, it's a bunch of zombies riding on horses.

No wonder it's so hard to kill, as long as these zombies are not hit in the head, they are just like people who are fine, and in order to defend against the deadly parts, the zombies all wear iron helmets, and the hideous iron masks carry endless killing fear...... Swept.

"Shoot the horse! Aim for the horses! ”

Zhang Dahu panicked and hurriedly instructed his men to shoot the horses.

However, to Zhang Dahu's despair, he only found out at this time that the horses under the zombie seat were also zombie horses!

A series of miscalculations caused Zhang Dahu to finally lose the opportunity to defeat this zombie army.

When the zombie cavalry charged, the soldiers who were as strong as Longshan could only fall into the situation of being killed.

Fortunately, the number of zombie cavalry is always limited, which gives everyone a chance to flee for their lives. Zhang Dahu personally made the palace, and only after a bloody battle did he allow the army led by him to withdraw from the battlefield smoothly.

After the defeated main force retreated to the nearest stronghold to the cave city, the army had a chance to breathe.

That night, dozens of soldiers who were bitten by zombies were either amputated or given end-of-life humanitarian comfort...... Zhang Dahu counted the number of remnants and found that the troops of more than 6,000 people were now less than 3,000 left!

What a fiasco!

Zhang Dahu almost wanted to kill himself, but the situation was not his turn to commit suicide, because the stronghold was not safe, Zhang Dahu realized that he had a responsibility to bring his men back safely...... These children who came out of Longshan are the blood and bones that Song Ziyu relies on the most, and only by taking them back safely can they have a chance to take revenge.

In order to hold back the following enemy, dozens of them were wounded or poisoned???????????????? After the soldiers who were about to break out of the infection volunteered to stay behind the palace, the large army moved through the night after a slight repair of the stronghold, and retreated towards Narujo, the most fortified western part of the rebel-ruled area.

……

Garrisoned in Mingcheng was Tang Jian, the deputy head of the Western Army.

After hearing Zhang Dahu's report, Tang Jian immediately felt that things were not simple!

Without the enemy's complete knowledge, Zhang Dahu was reckless, and almost failed to come back.

Tang Jian immediately sent elite men to capture the enemy's tongue, and after some investigation, he finally knew who his opponent was, where he came from, and how many men he commanded.

When he learned that there were 100,000 enemies, Tang Jian knew that Mingcheng could not hold on, and once they were surrounded by the enemy, his gang would have only one fate, that is, they would be buried in this Mingcheng, which had no danger to defend.

As a last resort, Tang Jian could only burn the materials stored in Mingcheng with one fire, and then retreat towards Guanglan City with his people.

Tang Jian planned to defend with the help of Guanglan City, Shucheng and Jinfu, and he had to delay it until Zhou Shicheng returned to the army to rescue.

This wave of retreat is really not easy.

The local soldiers and civilians all defected to the rebels.

These people knew what they would do if they were captured by the enemy, so they were willing to retreat with the army to the east of Guanglan City.

So hundreds of thousands of people ran away with their families and mouths with the army.

In such a situation, it is obviously unrealistic to retreat quickly enough, and the official road that has just been sorted out is full of congested people. As a last resort, Tang resolutely decided to leave a force to hold on to Mingcheng, and delay the retreat for everyone as much as possible.

But normal people know that there is definitely no hope of life for the queen of the palace, and it takes great courage and consciousness to do so.

In the end, more than 2,000 dead men were selected to serve as queens on a voluntary basis!

These people fortified Mingcheng and resisted the enemy's attack with a will to die, while Tang Jian could only wipe his tears and continue to retreat with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians.

Soon, the news that the entire army in Mingcheng was wiped out reached Tang Jian's ears.

As the saying goes, after decades of hard work, you will return to the pre-liberation period overnight!

At this time, the large force of the convoy was still on the road, and Tang Jian was shocked that he couldn't care so much, so he could only order the whole army to retreat quickly......

However, the enemy's ???????????????? The vanguard ---- zombie cavalry units have bitten the rear of the large army, causing the large army to panic and retreat.

Tang Jian wanted to throw away those ordinary people and only take the elite to escape alone, but in the end, human nature prevailed over reason...... Tang Jian personally led the 5,000 elite soldiers under his command to personally relate to the palace, and after paying a huge price, he finally killed the enemy's zombie cavalry.

By the time the large army withdrew to Guanglan City and held on to Xiongcheng, the area occupied by the rebels had been greatly compressed, and half of the dozen or so cities occupied before had changed hands.

Until this time, Zhou Shicheng finally conquered the corpse scattering pass and led the main force back, while Chi Shangxiong had besieged Guanglan City for several days.

The number of soldiers and horses commanded by Zhou Shicheng was as many as 50,000, and he directly attacked Chi Shangxiong's army with the power of victory.

Chi Shangxiong repeated his old tricks and sent an elite zombie army to raid, but Zhou Shicheng's department also had a zombie army under the command of Bloody Swallow to help, and the two sides sent high-level zombies to start a fierce battle that never stopped.

Taking this opportunity, Tang Jian seized the opportunity to take advantage of the fact that the defenders in Guanglan City suddenly came out of the city, and after cutting through the enemy's defensive camp, they rushed straight to Chi Shangxiong's formation!

This sudden rush was like a punch to Ji Shangxiong's waist and eye, and it made Ji Shangxiong's feet chaotic.

As a last resort, Chi Shangxiong could only order his legions to retreat temporarily.

After Zhou Shicheng led the army to relieve the siege of Guanglan City, he immediately took over the command of the whole territory, and after a simple repair, Zhou Shicheng did not sit still, but led the main force of the rebel army to take the initiative to attack and began to recover the occupied lost territory.
