Chapter 256: The First Battle of the Undead Legion (Part II)

Most of the human soldiers were also holding crossbows in their hands at this time, and when they finished aiming and began to release their arrows, they also gave the order to those undead warriors to release their arrows.

Suddenly, the undead warriors who shared their hearts shot arrows in the direction they had indicated.

The demon warrior who rushed to the front saw the rain of arrows in the sky, and immediately waved the battle axe in his hand to block, at first it was very smooth, and a large area of the arrow rain was easily swept away by him, but suddenly, the speed of an arrow was faster than he expected, and it pierced into his chest with a pop, this arrow was shot by Zhou Xiaoyang himself, and the speed of the arrow shot by the master of transformation was naturally not comparable to those low-level undead warriors, and its power was also extremely strong, and it shot through the breastplate of the demon warrior at once, The arrow pierced into its chest at least five or six centimeters deep, and the blessed internal force in it exploded completely, shattering the demon warrior's heart.

The heart can be said to be the biggest point of the demons, so as the heart was shot, the demon warrior immediately vomited blood and fell down.

Many demon warriors behind him, and many of them were hit by the cold arrows shot by the human soldiers under Zhou Xiaoyang's command, and the arrows they shot were mixed with the arrows shot by a large number of undead soldiers, plus it was night again, so it was very difficult to distinguish, so even those demons whose strength had reached the strength of transformation were constantly hit.

Although Zhou Xiaoyang's soldiers were not as powerful as him, at most they could only injure those demon warriors with cold arrows, but could not completely kill them.

But this is enough, once the arrow is injured, the movements of those demon warriors will inevitably stiffen, and at this time, the many arrows that continue to shoot will be called to them, among which those arrows are good to say, unless they hit the gap in the armor, they can cause effective damage to those demon warriors, but the crossbow arrows shot by those winch heavy crossbows are very powerful, even if those demons are wearing heavy armor, there is a high probability that they will be shot through the armor, causing effective damage. It just so happened that the most undead soldiers under Zhou Xiaoyang's command were those skeleton crossbowmen, and they could be divided into several teams and shot in waves, making this arrow rain endless, so that those demon warriors would be shot into hedgehogs if they were not careful.

After just a few minutes of arrow rain and fire, the dozens of demon warriors who rushed to the front were all shot, and many of the other underage demons and puppet soldiers who followed behind were also shot dead and wounded, but those mercenaries from the Xuangu Continent were very cunning, and they didn't charge together at all just now, so the casualties were the least.

And as those enemies who dared to take the initiative to charge were basically eliminated, the momentum of the enemy's charge was also quickly contained.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoyang immediately asked his subordinates to continue to direct those skeleton crossbowmen to release arrows, while letting those zombie pikemen slowly approach forward, compressing the enemy's activity space little by little.

Those underage demon warriors and puppet soldiers who didn't want to sit still and wait for death stepped forward to resist when they saw this, wanting to stop the enemy from advancing, but the dense spear array was like an iron wall under the neat advancement of the zombies, and those underage demons and puppet soldiers were quickly crushed after rushing forward, and they couldn't stop advancing at all.

And as the gun arrays in the four directions continued to advance and compress, in the end, even those mercenaries had no room to dodge, and could only be forced to step forward to resist.

But at this time, these mercenaries finally understood why those allies who were stronger than them could not block the advance of this gun formation, this is because those zombie pikemen will not feel tired at all, even if they are wearing heavy full-body plate armor, they have been fighting for so long, their movements have not slowed down a little, and their strength has not decreased a little, and under the command of those human soldiers in the rear, once an enemy tries to break into the formation, the seven or eight zombie pikemen in that area will advance and retreat together to shoot and collect their guns, As a result, the enemy soldiers who broke through the formation almost had to face the attack of seven or eight zombie pikemen at the same time, and one of them would be stabbed by the sharp triangular pyramid-shaped spear head, and as soon as it poked into the body, it was a big hole, and the blood immediately flowed out like no money, and soon fell into a weakened state due to excessive blood loss, and then was completely poked to death by the zombie pikemen who had no mercy at all.

Most of the mercenaries from the Xuangu Continent who were just bandits and bandits before were even worse in their own right, and their equipment was still very rudimentary, and a pair of zombie pikemen formed a gun formation immediately suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing that the enemy was indeed irresistible, these mercenaries from the Xuangu Continent immediately and decisively pulled the white flag and surrendered.

And in such a short period of time, more than half of these guys were killed and wounded, and when Zhou Xiaoyang ordered to stop the attack, he found that there were only more than 200 enemy troops left alive, and many of them were seriously injured.

For those seriously injured enemy soldiers, Zhou Xiaoyang and them were directly executed on the spot according to the practice of the Blue Dragon Empire.

And those mercenaries of the Xuangu Continent who had surrendered watched those friendly soldiers being brutally executed one by one, and the little crooked thoughts in their hearts were completely put away, for fear that these cold-blooded soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire would see their thoughts and turn their heads and give them a knife.

After that, under the command of Zhou Xiaoyang and others, they obediently collected all the corpses on the battlefield and prepared to send them to Stronghold Zero to transform into new undead warriors.

At this time, the number of casualties on their own side was also counted, and to Zhou Xiaoyang's surprise, they only lost three skeleton crossbowmen, and dozens of skeleton crossbowmen and zombie pikemen suffered some minor injuries.

The reason for this situation is mainly because the main melee force of their own side is the zombie pikemen, these zombie pikemen are holding a phalanx spear more than six meters long, as the so-called one inch long and one inch strong, such a long spear composed of a gun array, the enemy often has no chance to attack the zombie pikemen in the melee fight, and can only use various long-range strike means to attack the zombie pikemen, but those zombie pikemen are all wearing thick steel plate armor, and the long-range attack is at most able to injure them, It is difficult to kill these undead creatures with rough skin and thick flesh at once, as for the three skeleton crossbowmen who hung up, they were obviously injured by mistake, it should be those enemies who were originally going to attack those zombie pikemen from a distance, but they accidentally shot too far, so they accidentally injured the skeleton crossbowmen in the rear.

Compared to zombies, skeleton soldiers themselves are too fragile, and their only advantage over zombies is that they are relatively fast and flexible.

Faced with this brilliant record, Zhou Xiaoyang and his human soldiers were a little incredulous.

But soon, several innate masters who were hiding in the shadows to watch the battle came out and told Zhou Xiaoyang that their record was indeed real, and there was no problem at all, and the headquarters below should have completely let go of their hands and feet to create undead warriors in large quantities, and then assign them to various troops.

In fact, just like what these innate masters who were in charge of watching the battle said, after a period of time, the necromancers on the side of Base Zero produced more than 10 million undead warriors in one go, and then distributed them to the garrisons in various places.

And after Zhou Xiaoyang's actual combat test, the above also has a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of these seemingly weak undead warriors in actual combat, this town is too much to allocate 10,000, only 1,000 are enough to guard a small town, and the ordinary city allocation of 2,000 undead warriors is enough, only those super large cities need to allocate 5,000 undead soldiers to garrison.

Since a hundred undead soldiers need a human soldier to control and command, as these undead soldiers are formed in place to take over the defense of various places, a large number of militias and even regular soldiers who were originally used for garrison can withdraw their hands and continue to attack the territory occupied by the demons.

At this time, the Blue Dragon Empire had almost conquered most of the southern regions of the Xinghan Empire, and its territory in the real world was almost as large as six provinces.

In the next step, Ye Tianlong is ready to advance by land and water to attack the northern region, the reason why they were able to fight so smoothly and win so much territory at once is mainly because the main force of the demons in the southern region was basically annihilated by Luo Chenguang before, but the main force of the demons in the northern region is still there, so it will definitely not be easy to fight, so Ye Tianlong will prepare for several months before making a move.

In the past few months, in addition to the transformation and transportation of hundreds of warships and transport ships to the real world, Ye Tianlong has also transformed thousands of tanks and self-propelled guns, hundreds of thousands of armored vehicles and personnel carriers, and transported them to the real world.

After feeling fully prepared, on the eighth day of the seventh month, Ye Tianlong ordered an attack on the north.

With Ye Tianlong's order, the navy and the army all began to march, among which the navy was simply smooth, it only took three days to kill near the coastline of the northern province D, and the magic energy cannons on hundreds of warships bombarded the defensive positions built by the demons on the coastline for more than three hours in one breath, and then sent a large army to prepare for landing.

At this time, the defensive positions on the demon's side have been basically destroyed by artillery bombardment, and the demon warriors stationed here are also dead and wounded, and the demon general led by him has gathered for a while before he has only gathered more than 1,000 men, and there are more than 20,000 people stationed on the position here before!

The demon general, who only had so many centaurs left, also felt that he could not stay here any longer and wait for death, so he immediately abandoned his position and retreated with the remaining more than a thousand men.

As a result, the army of the Blue Dragon Empire was able to successfully complete the landing, and then the 200,000 soldiers and 500,000 militia who landed began to attack the city in the rear of the demon as if they had entered a no-man's land, and the demon was in a hurry, and he could only gather an army from other places in a hurry to resist.

And the reason why the advance on the land side is not as fast as the water side is mainly because the demons put the main army on the land side, after all, they are not good at water warfare, so they can only strengthen the defense line on land as much as possible.

However, they didn't ignore it on the waterway, but sent more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to garrison it, but unfortunately the coastline was too long, and it was difficult for the demons to accurately guess where the Blue Dragon Empire would land from, so they could only disperse the defense, wanting to take into account every node.

They originally thought that even if the enemy attacked from the waterway, the strength would not be large, but they didn't expect that as soon as the Blue Dragon Empire attacked, it would be hundreds of thousands of troops, easily break through their coastal defense line, go deep into their inland areas and start attacking the city.

On the land side, the demons have gathered two million elite troops to defend, and the regular soldiers used by the Blue Dragon Empire to attack are only 600,000, and the militia is 1.2 million, even if you add those militias, this force is not as large as the demons.

And the demons had long expected that the Blue Dragon Empire would attack, so they built a large number of strong fortresses on the border line and formed several lines of defense, making it very difficult for the Blue Dragon Empire army to advance.

Luo Chenguang, who was in charge of the front-line command, looked at another strong fortress in front of him, and felt a headache, the fortress built by these demons was not only strong in its own materials, but also engraved with a lot of magic arrays on it, making its defense more and more powerful, especially for all kinds of magic weapons, it has a very strong resistance, and its heavy artillery has been bombarding it for several days, but it has not been able to completely blast its city wall.

More than half a month has passed since the launch was launched, and the navy has already occupied the territory of almost two provinces, while his side has only advanced a few dozen kilometers. The forts laid along the way were basically destroyed, and there was no value in repairing them.

Fortunately, the emperor of the Qinglong Empire is his old friend Ye Tianlong, otherwise if it were replaced by other emperors, seeing that he led an army of more than one million people to fight for more than half a month without achieving any decent results, I am afraid that he would have to suspect that he, the general, was afraid of the enemy and wanted to preserve the strength of the army. At that time, it is likely to be the result of a temporary change.

And now, although Ye Tianlong did not have these suspicions against him, nor did he urge him to speed up the pace of his march, but Luo Chenguang is also a person after all, with emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow and joy that human beings should have, seeing that the navy fought so beautifully and achieved such brilliant results, while his side was still blocked by the enemy's defense line and could not move forward, he would inevitably have some anxiety in his heart.

In order to make a breakthrough as soon as possible, he has also thought of a lot of ways these days, but there is no good effect, but it has lost thousands of elites, which makes Luo Chenguang very distressed.
