Chapter 50: Blocking War
When Li Yuanhong came up, he gave these officers a warning, hoping that they would be proud and complacent. The recent battles have been too smooth, and it is easy to breed pride and complacency, so Li Yuanhong must take precautions before they happen.
"How do you think we should fight next?" Li Yuanhong asked the question, considering these officers.
"I don't think we can let the enemies of Liaodong go north, where they will join the Fengtian zombies, and we can't let them go south, where they will join the zombies of Ancheng," Xing Ling said.
"I think it's still the same combat method as last time. Find a way to drive out the zombies, and then find a place to surround him and cover him with artillery fire. This can greatly reduce the risk to our soldiers." Commander Xiao suggested.
The rest of the speeches were varied, but generally speaking, they wanted to drive the zombies out of the city, but the directions of driving them out of the city were one to the east and the other to the west. There were no large groups of zombies within a short distance in these two directions. Li Yuanhong was sitting there, staring at the map silently, thinking deeply. When the discussion at the meeting was almost over, Li Yuanhong slapped the table for the last time: "What do you think if we drive the zombies south?"
Li Yuanhong's words stunned everyone present. No one expected that Li Yuanhong would propose such a plan. The zombie group going south would merge with Tiecheng's zombie group, and it would be even more difficult to fight.
"I said, Xiao Lizi, if you go south, wouldn't the two groups of zombies merge together?" Xing Ling interjected and asked.
"What if we stop the zombies before they gather?" Li Yuanhong asked back.
"That's impossible. Zombies would never be that stupid. They would run towards you even though they know there's someone blocking them ahead."
"So the interception time cannot be too early, that is to say, we cannot build defenses on the surface."
"What about Tiecheng's zombies coming out of the city to provide support?" Xing Ling asked again.
"So this interception is very dangerous. The interception troops have to face two battles. But this interception is to draw out the zombies from Iron City. In this operation, we must solve the two cities at once. Zombies." Li Yuanhong said firmly.
"Is it too risky?" Commander Xiao asked.
"Time has not waited for me. It is almost February now. We must complete the battle in these two cities before the Spring Festival. I guess we will not have a good time this year, so we must solve the battle here as soon as possible. It is very likely that we will be ready as soon as spring begins. We will encounter a large-scale zombie attack." Li Yuanhong said.
"What? Did City Lord Li get any information?" Commander Xiao asked worriedly.
"It's just my guess. The alien creatures appearing in various places will never stay near the portal. It's likely that they are gathering strength or avoiding the severe cold. Once the winter passes, they may launch an offensive." Li Yuanhong He said with a worried look.
Everyone present also felt a heavy pressure coming towards them. Obviously, this speculation gave everyone here a great sense of oppression, especially the recent victory, which made many people feel elated. At this time, they felt good about themselves. The feeling is gone.
"So I decided to attack from three sides, leaving only a gap in the south for the zombies to escape. At the same time, we have to find a way to get the zombies from Iron City to come over for support. We will try to eliminate the zombies into the wild."
"Then who will lead this team?"
"I will lead the team myself!" Li Yuanhong replied.
January in the Northeast is when the cold winds are the coldest, and even the snow is frozen into ice shells. The morning sun slowly rose in the cold wind, but in the northwest direction of Liaodong City, thick smoke rose. The thick smoke surged into Liaodong City with the north wind. Within an hour, half of the city was shrouded in thick smoke, and many The zombies were exposed to the thick smoke, and their noses were too sensitive, which made the zombies intolerable to the thick smoke, not to mention that the thick smoke also contained ingredients.
Soon the thick smoke spread to the city center, and the giant zombie leader here was also smoked out. The giant zombie who was choked and dizzy roared angrily, asking what happened. Since no one was watching, fires would occasionally occur in the city. The fires were caused by If it is not extinguished in time, it will cause thick smoke, so the giant zombie thinks that another building is on fire.
As a result, after the giant zombie inquired, no building was on fire. Now the giant zombie knew that there was a problem, so he sent zombies to check the source of the smoke. At this moment, a cannon rang out outside the city, and a cannonball fell into the crowd. The zombie crowd immediately exploded the zombies into pieces, and the zombie crowd suddenly became chaotic. At this time, the giant zombie understood that someone was going to attack him, and the thick smoke was definitely related to the person who fired the cannonball.
It is definitely not the nature of the giant zombie to wait to be beaten. Zombies have always attacked humans, so the giant zombie rushed towards the sound of cannons with the zombies. As soon as they left the city, the zombies were bombarded by fierce artillery fire. As soon as the zombies left the city, they were attacked by Huge casualties. The zombies had never fully woken up from the smoke, and this barrage made the zombies even more panicked. The giant zombie knew that this was not the time to fight humans.
Forced by helplessness, the giant zombies could only lead the zombies in another direction and planned to break out from here. As a result, they were violently attacked from three directions. The zombies could only lead the zombies and retreat from the south of the city.
The giant zombie left the south city and looked back at the city that had been completely shrouded in thick smoke. He was very angry in his heart. However, when he was suddenly attacked, he couldn't figure out how many humans there were. He could only avoid its attack for the time being and then come back. Looking for revenge on humans, and the giant zombies have sensed that there is also a huge group of corpses in the south. They can just go find that group of corpses and deal with the humans who dare to attack them, and then let them have a taste of their own power.
The giant zombies led the group of corpses in a hurry to the south, but the giant zombies did not relax their vigilance. After all, they were besieged on three sides and only one side was left. This might be a trap for humans, so the giant zombies sent a vanguard search team to clear the way ahead. , searching for human ambush.
Li Yuanhong was standing on a mountain peak at this time. Not far from the foot of the mountain, it was the only way from Liaodong to Tiecheng. Behind Li Yuanhong stood the four Russian students and Fatty Lu. The four students still stood upright in the cold wind, in sharp contrast to Fatty Lu who kept shouting at the side. They are indeed a fighting nation, and they are very good at resisting the cold.
"I said, Fatty Lu, why can't you help but freeze the fat you usually accumulate? I think you should lose it!"
"You can't reduce it. You absolutely can't reduce it. This is the end of the world. If one day I run out of food or water, I can at least live without you for a few more days."
"You're not a camel, no matter how much fat you have, it's useless." Li Yuanhong said contemptuously.
"That's hard to say. Didn't you see that there was a strong pig before? If he didn't have that fat body, no matter how powerful the rescue was, he wouldn't be able to save his life. So, I am a fat person, but I am a life-saving fat person!"
"So your idol is a pig!" Li Yuanhong said with a wicked smile.
"Your idol is a pig!" Fatty Lu shouted with a red face.
At this moment, Li Yuanhong suddenly put his finger to his lips, made a silent gesture, and whispered: "Be careful, the zombies are coming!"
So everyone hurriedly hid their bodies, and sure enough, after a while, zombies appeared on the road. There are not many zombies in this group, only more than 10,000, and they are mainly fast shadow zombies. These zombies are scattered widely, not only filling the entire road, but also covering the area of 50 meters on both sides of the road. There are zombies inside. As long as there are any traps set by humans within this range, they will not be able to escape the search of these zombies.
At this time, Fatty Lu quietly moved to Li Yuanhong's side: "Brother Li, can we fight?" Fatty Lu asked quietly.
"Don't fight, just let them go, don't scare them away."
"Okay, got it."
The zombies soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. In order to prevent human footprints from being left on the road, Li Yuanhong took a detour from the other side of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Therefore, the road was still covered with snow and there were no traces of human walking. The zombies were They quickly walked over at the foot of the mountain and continued to drive towards Tiecheng. At least five or six kilometers behind this group, they saw a large group of corpses coming this way.
Li Yuanhong quietly ordered: "Everyone pay attention and prepare for battle."
Following Li Yuanhong's order, all soldiers began to prepare for battle. As long as Li Yuanhong gave the order, the attack could be launched at any time.
As the main force of the zombies approached, the roars of the corpses could be clearly heard. The chaotic footsteps, coupled with the gray clothes after being smoked, made this group of zombies look like people fleeing the famine.
Li Yuanhong calculated silently and left. When the corpses reached the foot of the mountain, Li Yuanhong shouted: "Hit me!" As the order was issued, crossbow arrows and magic shells were instantly thrown at the corpses from the top of the mountain.
The zombie group that had just arrived at the foot of the mountain was not prepared to be attacked by a sneak attack. There must be a forward exploring the way, so the vigilance of the zombie group was very low. Due to the eagerness to retreat, the density of the zombies was very high, so this wave of attacks caused heavy casualties among the zombies. Within a hundred meters at the foot of the mountain, the zombies were almost wiped out. In just this distance of one hundred meters, there were no less than 5,000 zombies. Only zombies are killed.
The giant zombie was suddenly attacked and was obviously stunned. Then he immediately reacted and roared. The main zombies continued to move forward, and some zombies were separated to attack the mountain. The giant planned to use this distraction method to distract his team. Pass through here quickly to join up with the Iron City zombies. If the two teams come back and fight back, then there will be a good show for humans.
Li Yuanhong set up an ambush here to prevent the zombies from passing through. How could he be distracted by the zombies' tricks. Li Yuanhong didn't even pay attention to the zombies climbing up the hill to attack. Instead, he continued to order the archers and artillerymen to attack the dense group of corpses at the bottom of the mountain. The group of corpses that had just entered the foot of the mountain were beaten back again, and Li Yuanhong mounted the white tiger and attacked the corpses that climbed up.
As the white tiger came out of the mountain, the tiger's power spread outward involuntarily, stopping the zombies climbing up the hillside. Li Yuanhong took this opportunity to rush into the group of corpses, brandishing a steel knife, and cut off the heads of each zombie.
Fatty Lu Ze followed behind Li Yuanhong, dancing his shield like a hot wheel, knocking away the approaching zombies, while the steel knife chopped down the lone zombies to the ground. The four students also rushed into the group of corpses, each showing off their skills, constantly slashing and killing the surrounding zombies. For a time, the hillside became a battlefield of killing.
Since zombies attack from their backs, and these zombies seeking to attract attention are the most common zombies, both in terms of combat effectiveness and protection, they are very poor. It didn't take long for them to be cleaned up by the swordsmen led by Li Yuanhong, leaving another thousand on the hillside. Multiple bodies.
Whether on the hillside or at the foot of the mountain, the zombies' actions failed. The giant zombies were furious, because at the same time as they were attacking here, there were large groups of tanks coming from behind, constantly firing magic at the zombie groups. Cannon, the zombies behind will suffer more casualties. If the giant zombies don't lead the zombies out as soon as possible, then this may be their burial place.
