Chapter 177: Records of the Western Expedition (1)

When Li Yuanhong came to the weapons workshop, masters Yu Tianyao and Zhang Haitao took out their improved power armors. The magic arrays inside these power armors were inlaid with spar, which made the magic defense of the power armor stronger, and the magic armor The movement speed and strength of the robot have been greatly improved. Looking at these power armors, Li Yuanhong reminds Li Yuanhong of the Gundam in the Japanese cartoons. Maybe in the future, he can realize it by himself. This way to deal with zombies is absolutely It's a killing spree, but now my magic knowledge reserve is not enough. It seems that I need to unlock a higher magic book.

With powerful equipment, Li Yuanhong was ready to start the Western Expedition. On this day, Li Yuanhong returned to the front line. Li Yuanhong took out a hundred sets of power armors (not that Li Yuanhong did not want to produce them, but because the production of these equipments was too time-consuming, labor-intensive, and resource-intensive, in a word. , Gui), and a hundred magic sniper rifles, he said to Xing Ling and the other two army commanders: "Next we will go on a western expedition. Before the western expedition, we will have to do a memorial ceremony."

"The memorial ceremony? Let me tell you, Commander-in-Chief Li, you won't do a ritual like sacrificing the heaven and the earth, killing pigs and cows, right?" Xing Ling interrupted in time.

"I don't know how to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. It's OK to kill pigs, but we don't have that many cows for everyone to slaughter!"

"Then what's going on with Commander Li's memorial ceremony?" Commander Xiao also asked curiously.

"That's right, we are going to march westward. Commander Wu Xiong, the people from the Yanjing Military Region who just came over, want to see how to fight zombies in urban warfare. I think we should not live up to their expectations, but we It’s impossible to attack a big city, that would take too long, so I chose a city with half a million zombies..."

Li Yuanhong pointed to a city on the map and said: "Bacheng, we will show it to our comrades with a classic city battle. At the same time, this city will be the starting point of our Western Expedition, so this battle will be our memorial." ceremony!"

"Oh, isn't it just a war? I thought he was some kind of dancing master!" Xing Lingkou said without restraint.

"Don't underestimate this battle. I have several restrictions here. First, no army can send more than two thousand people. Secondly, each army must compete. If you win the competition, you can get a large portion of this batch of equipment. !" Li Yuanhong pointed at the power armor and sniper rifles on display.

"What's wrong with this guy?" Commander Xiao asked.

"These equipments cannot be divided equally. They are divided into three quantities. The first place will get fifty pieces, the second place will get thirty pieces, and the third place will get ten pieces!" Li Yuanhong said the distribution plan.

After hearing the distribution plan, Xing Ling geared up and said, "I've decided on the first place!"

Commander Fang didn't show any signs of weakness and said: "Other than being a strong drinker and bragging, Mr. Xing, how do you look like you're in first place?!"

Commander Xiao also joked: "Old Xing also has another number one, and that is the number one in causing trouble."

Seeing the crowd surrounding him, Xing Ling rolled up his arms and sleeves and prepared to go to the Quanwu Xing. At this time, Li Yuanhong said: "Okay, be quiet, or I will disqualify you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the venue immediately fell silent.

"Okay, the memorial ceremony will officially start at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. I hope that the battle will be over in one day tomorrow. If it is one day late, ten pieces of equipment will be deducted! Okay, let's adjourn the meeting!" After saying that, Li Yuanhong strode out of the combat conference room, and a few The military commander stared at the one hundred sets of equipment for a long time before reluctantly leaving the conference room one by one.

Although Li Yuanhong said that he let these military commanders fight on their own, in fact, Li Yuanhong secretly sent an airship to cover the attacking troops. Once the troops were fatally threatened, Li Yuanhong would order the airship to provide fire support. Of course, this kind of support is not free. Li Yuanhong will charge interest. Once he accepts the support, the score of this unit will drop significantly.

Li Yuanhong's purpose in this battle is to slowly develop the ability of the army to fight independently. In future battles, he cannot always be commanded by himself. Only when his subordinates have formed their own fighting style can they let these generals stand alone.

Early the next morning, the battle began. The troops advanced very quickly at first. After all, there were some low-rise buildings and bungalows outside the city. It was easier to clean up. But if it didn't work, just throw in a few tear gas and bombs, and the zombies would disappear on their own. All the obedient ones came out. The level of zombies in the periphery is also low, so there is no pressure to kill them.

But as they advance inward, the level of the zombies gets higher and higher, and organic zombies with special powers appear, so the army's advancement speed slows down.

Wu Xiong, who was observing on the airship, frowned when he saw this, and said to Li Yuanhong: "Brother Li, look at the army being blocked now. There are only 500,000 zombies. If there were more, they would all be trapped." If you don’t come, are you sending too few people?”

In fact, Li Yuanhong understood that this was Wu Xiong hinting to him that he had too few people to defeat Chengde City.

Li Yuanhong smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing. The progress was too fast in the early stage, so the soldiers encountered resistance unexpectedly and did not adapt to it for a while, but they adjusted right away!"

"Okay... okay, let's continue watching!" Wu Xiong was not sure what he was saying to Li Yuanhong anyway.

Sure enough, after a while, the army's offensive method changed. The fierce gunfire on the battlefield gradually became sparse. The army no longer launched a full-scale attack, but targeted several buildings. Once these buildings were captured, The army immediately deployed its defenses, turning the entire building into a fortress, and then used it as a stronghold to spread in all directions.

Such tactics make zombies very angry. Since humans have guns and cannons, zombie groups cannot get close to humans at all, which leaves zombies with no offensive quality. Although there are a large number of zombies with supernatural powers, the attack distance of these zombies with supernatural powers is only one hundred meters. Often, once the zombies are exposed in an open place, they will be attacked by artillery. This distance of one hundred meters becomes insignificant. Useless.

However, the zombies would not admit defeat. With a zombie roar, all the zombies retreated towards the center of the city, and soon no zombies were seen on the streets anymore.

"What are these zombies doing?" Wu Xiong was a little confused when he saw the zombies retreating on their own initiative.

"Haha, this is because the zombies want to learn our tactics. They withdraw the zombies into the building, and then the supernatural zombies are responsible for long-range attacks, and the ordinary zombies are responsible for melee combat. Then a building becomes a zombie fortress." Li Yuanhong said.

"Ah? Zombies can still do this trick?" Wu Xiong said in surprise.

"The zombies know a lot of tricks. The zombies in this small city only know a few tricks. It's easy to crack them!" Li Yuanhong said confidently.

Sure enough, after a while, humans also changed the rhythm of their attack. They first cleaned up the buildings outside these zombie fortresses, and then set up defenses near the buildings in these fortresses. As long as the zombies dared to show their heads, they would inevitably be baptized by human bullets. In this way, zombies cannot target humans outside, nor can they detect the specific deployment of humans, and they quickly lose the initiative on the battlefield.

Humans took control of the perimeter and quickly airlifted the assault team to the top of the zombie fortress. Then gunshots and explosions rang out from time to time in these buildings, mixed with the roars of zombies. When these chaotic sounds died down, the entire fortress fell into human hands.

Of course, conquering the fortress building will not be easy. There must be a large number of zombies with supernatural powers inside. These zombies with supernatural powers can attack with magic. Once these zombies are allowed to use magic, human beings will inevitably suffer casualties. Fortunately, Li Yuanhong had taken corresponding protective measures before. When fighting indoors, the soldiers used Li Yuanhong's "rotten" method, using smoke to make the zombies in the building dizzy, or using mirrors as sights, so that people would not show their heads at all, leaving the zombies with no magic. , but cannot hit humans, so even if humans are attacked, most of them will be injured. With the presence of red potion, as long as the injuries are not fatal, they can recover quickly.

The battle continued, and the giant zombie in the center of the city finally couldn't sit still. As humans continued to approach, the building where it was located became unsafe. There was even a stray bullet that hit the window of the room where it was located. The bullet did not It did not break the window, but only caused cracks in the window. Looking at the cracked window, the giant zombie seemed to see thousands of bullets being fired at it, so it decided to retreat.

With a zombie roar, the zombies hiding in the building poured out of the building like a tide. However, these zombies did not attack humans, but flocked to the west of the city. There was never a human figure on this side. It is also the only escape route for zombies.

"Oops! The zombies have escaped! Brother Li, why are you so careless? If we surround the city, the zombies won't be able to escape!" Wu Xiong complained to Li Yuanhong.

"Haha, this is when the fun begins, just watch!" Li Yuanhong said calmly.

Seeing Li Yuanhong speak so confidently, Wu Xiong could only continue watching the show.

Zombies are pouring out of the city. Outside is an open plain. Without human care, the rice fields are overgrown with weeds, and the previous roads have become bumpy. When the zombies rush out of the city, their speed slows down. Who knows? Make the road rough.

The zombies pouring out of the city were so black that in the air it looked like thousands of zombies were rushing around. In the city, there were not so many zombies. Now that they rushed out of the city, they finally felt the terror of the zombies.

When the zombies were five kilometers away from the city, suddenly many airships flew from the sky. These airships slowly flew over the group of corpses, and then the magic cannons on the airships began to fire. Suddenly, magic apertures burst out from the group of corpses, and the zombies Pieces fell down. Although the magic cannon attack is very powerful, since there are more than 200,000 zombies, there are still a lot of zombies in a short period of time.

But these artillery attacks made the giant zombies feel the threat of death, so with a zombie roar, the entire zombie group accelerated and ran forward. As long as they quickly reached the city in front, the giant zombies would be safe.

However, the rumbling sound of machine motors in the distance shattered the dreams of the giant zombies. Along with the sound of motors, there were also whizzing shells. These shells fell into the group of zombies, causing the zombies to accelerate their death and injury, and as the zombies advanced, A barrage formed on the road, a barrage of death. Even if you had a magic shield, it would be difficult to get through the blockade of this barrage.

At this time, the giant zombie regretted it and ordered the zombie group to start retreating back. However, when the zombie group returned to the edge of the city, they found that the edge of the city was already covered with tanks, and the buildings were also fortified. When the zombie group approached, there was a barrage Attacked, all the zombies were blocked by the barrage again.
