Chapter 291 Desert Battle

During the day, although it is winter, the wild sand is still the biggest enemy of the desert. Although zombies do not need to drink water, if their bodies are left without water, their bodies will still dry up, which will reduce their combat effectiveness, and the cold in the desert will be even more terrifying. , the kind of cold that hurts to the bone, the cold that makes skeletons feel that their bones are beginning to become brittle, and the sand and dust can make people disoriented. Therefore, the national division's plan to cross the desert in one day failed the next day .

The biggest trouble in the desert is getting lost. Unfortunately for the national master, he got lost. Fortunately, the stars at night saved him. However, the original one-day trip took him three full days. At this time, there were many zombies due to lack of water. The combat effectiveness of the zombies has dropped significantly, and even the fat zombies have become thinner.

When the national division was very upset, finally at ten o'clock in the morning on the third day, the zombie army saw the edge of the desert. At the same time, the zombies also saw the human military camp on the edge of the desert, which made the National Preceptor very happy. He finally crossed the desert before the humans left. However, the National Preceptor forgot why the humans did not leave for such a long time. Here, it seems that humans are waiting for them specially.

The battle started immediately. The zombies rushed towards the human camp crazily, and the humans responded with intensive artillery fire. Since they were charging in the desert, the sand made it impossible for the zombies to increase their speed. The charge road of several kilometers would normally be just a few kilometers. It took ten minutes for the zombies to rush up, but now it took the zombies a full hour, and humans were still attacking with intensive artillery fire, causing the zombies to suffer huge losses.

"Quickly, bring me the skeleton archers!" Seeing that the offensive ahead was ineffective, the national master planned to use dense bone arrows to clear the way.

Soon the archers were in position. Five hundred archers drew their bows and fired arrows. A dense rain of arrows flew towards the human camp from two kilometers away.

"All attention, enemy arrows are coming!" Human observers have been paying close attention to the enemy's movements. When the skeleton archers lined up, these observers noticed it, so when the bows and arrows came, the observers immediately reported To the troops.

As the notification sounded, both tanks and armored vehicles activated the magic protective runes covering their surfaces, causing light to float on the surface of the tanks. When the bone arrows struck, the vast majority of tanks and armored vehicles were safe and sound, with only a few unlucky enough to escape. The soldiers in the bunker were unfortunately shot by bows and arrows that penetrated the bunker and let out miserable screams.

The first wave of bow and arrow attacks did not cause substantial damage to humans. The human artillery fire was still fierce, and the appearance of the skeleton archers also pointed the human artillery fire at them. When the second wave of bone arrows was launched, the human artillery fire was fierce. Artillery fire also attacked, and the skeleton archers were suddenly covered by artillery fire.

The dust and smoke from the artillery fire had not dissipated. From the dust and smoke, a rain of bone arrows was fired again. This time the rain of bone arrows hit the tanks in front. After the magic protection of many tanks flashed twice, it was suddenly shattered. Several times in a row. A tank was directly shot by a bone arrow and turned into a hedgehog, causing the tank to become silent.

Commander Xiao, who had been observing the movement in the rear, anxiously asked the guard next to him: "Why haven't the aircraft reinforcements arrived yet?"

"Report to the Commander, the nearest airport is hundreds of kilometers away. It should be there soon!" the guard said hesitantly.

"This bunch of damn skeletons, it seems that only the missiles from the plane can kill them." Commander Xiao said bitterly.

At this time, the second wave of human artillery fire covered the skeleton archer's position. This explosion finally had some effect. Finally, some skeletons were washed into the air by the waves of artillery fire, which allowed observers to finally see the state of these skeletons. . Although some skeleton archers were damaged by the bombing, such as a certain leg bone, most of the skeleton archers were glowing with a faint magical light. It was obvious that these skeleton archers were protected by magic. No wonder the first wave of artillery attacks There was no impact on them.

The artillery and arrows from both sides exchanged, causing casualties on each other, but overall, the impact on humans was relatively large. Due to the loss of tanks on the front line of human defense, the intensity of the artillery fire weakened, and soon a group of corpses rushed into the place less than one kilometer away from the human camp. .

At this moment, the sound of aircraft disturbing the air came from the distant sky, and the human Bat Plane appeared on the horizon in the distance.

"Finally her mother has fallen. If she doesn't reach my first line of defense, it will be over!" Commander Xiao said with a slightly excited voice.

However, before Commander Xiao's excited voice landed, he saw many erratic ghosts flying into the sky among the corpses, heading towards the plane in the distance.

"Attention, the ghost troops are dispatched, please pay attention, please pay attention." Commander Xiao quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie next to him and called the leader of the air fleet.

"We understand, we understand!" Fatty Lu's voice came from the leader of the fleet.

As the Phantom and the aircraft approached, the fleet opened fire first. The aircraft fired not ordinary missiles, but special missiles that were somewhat similar to grenades. After these grenades were launched, they formed a light curtain in front of the aircraft, and These grenade bombs hit the ghosts, causing them to wail, and several ghosts were directly beaten into dust.

However, there were many ghosts, and only a small part of them were directly killed. Many ghosts escaped the attack of grenade and pounced directly on the aircraft. The two sides collided quickly. The expected phenomenon of the ghost being knocked apart and flying did not occur. Instead, when the ghost came into contact with the zombie, the zombie penetrated the plane's casing and directly entered the plane. The pilot directly came face to face with the ghost. , the ghost screamed directly, taking away the pilot's consciousness, and then the plane fell directly.

As soon as the two sides met, they each had their own losses. Fatty Lu just had a gut feeling that if he bumped into the ghost, there would be unexpected dangers. So when the ghost flew towards him, Fatty Lu pulled hard and the plane flew past the ghost's head. , when Fatty Lu saw that all the planes that had been invaded by ghosts fell down, Fatty Lu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

"Everyone pay attention, everyone pay attention, never let the ghost get close to the plane, never let the ghost get close to the plane." Fatty Lu informed the other pilots in the communication, and the two sides became intertwined. Although the ghost has the ability to penetrate the plane, Soon Fatty Lu discovered that the speed of these ghosts could not be compared with that of airplanes. As long as they kept their distance, these ghosts could not cause any harm to the airplanes.

Moreover, Fatty Lu took the time to fly above the skeleton archers' position and threw a few missiles at the position. As a result, the explosive power of the missiles caused casualties to the skeleton archers, which disrupted the archers' attack. , humans can finally put their main attack on the zombies. Due to the obstruction of the archers just now, the zombie group has taken a step forward and is already less than 500 meters away from the defense line.

Since the skeleton archers were attacked, and the ghost's attack did not have the expected effect, especially because the aircraft was equipped with light magic weapons such as grenades, the national division was unexpected. Unexpectedly, after a short confrontation, more than a hundred The ghost turned into ashes.

"Plane, where is our plane?" The Imperial Master asked the attendant beside him with anger in his eyes.

"Master Mage, we have notified the airport, but due to insufficient runway at the airport, it will take a while for the fleet to arrive." The attendant replied cautiously.

"Hmph, you're so irritating human emperor, you're so procrastinating in doing things, look at me and I'm going to punish this puppet!" The anger in the eyes of the Imperial Master grew even stronger.

The entourage next to him saw that the Imperial Master was furious and did not dare to answer. At this moment, there was a rumble of aircraft in the distant sky. The zombie fleet finally appeared on the horizon, and judging from the size of the fleet, there were no less than a hundred aircraft. , and now there are only more than 20 human aircraft. In terms of number, the zombie aircraft have an absolute advantage.

With the arrival of the zombie planes, the situation in the air changed irreversibly. Fatty Lu saw the zombie planes from a distance and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie: "Enemy plane groups are found, everyone pays attention, and the enemy plane groups will be lured away as planned. Go to the reservation area and protect yourself!”

"clear!"

"receive!"

Each plane responded one after another, and in the chaotic air battle, the planes all flew back one after another. Most of the enemy planes that came over began to chase Fatty Lu's plane. However, there were still a few planes that rushed towards the human position, preparing to attack. Humanity bombs.

"Damn Fatty Lu, why are there still so many planes left!" Commander Xiao cursed secretly when he saw the enemy planes coming. Fortunately, these zombie aircraft are still traditional aircraft from before the apocalypse, and traditional anti-aircraft weapons are still effective, so Commander Xiao ordered: "Quickly, bring out the anti-aircraft missiles for me!"

Following Commander Xiao's order, several anti-aircraft missile vehicles were driven out, and soon the missiles of the missile vehicles were erected. As the soldiers pressed the launch button, the missiles soared into the sky and headed straight for the zombies' plane.

Although these zombie planes maintain the appearance of pre-apocalyptic fighter planes, the zombie pilots of these planes are not as flexible as human pilots. In less than ten planes, more than half of them were destroyed by missiles in one encounter. These planes did not do anything in the air at all. Any dodge action seems to go directly towards the missile. The two sides are in close contact in the air, and then brilliant sparks explode in the air.

However, two planes still escaped the missile attack. The two planes quickly flew to the human positions, so the two planes retaliated wildly against the humans. The missiles and airborne bombs on the planes hit the humans like a heavy rain. position, and soon a major defensive loophole appeared in the first line of defense.

As a hole appeared in the first line of defense, the corpse swarm finally rushed to a place less than two hundred meters away from the humans. At this time, the follow-up troops of the corpse swarm also began to follow up, and the corpse swarm put increasing pressure on the humans.

Commander Xiao looked at his watch helplessly: "One and a half hours, alas, this defense time is a bit short! Order the first line of defense to retreat to the second line of defense, and the second echelon enters the position to attack!"

"Yes!" The soldier next to him received the order and immediately went down to deliver the order.

At this moment, there were two explosions in the sky, and the two planes that broke into the human position were blown up by subsequent anti-aircraft missiles.

Amidst the sound of aircraft explosions, three kilometers away from the first line of defense, artillery fire from the second line of defense began to fire wildly. Soon the front edge of the first line of defense was covered by artillery fire, and the zombies that had just approached were immediately suppressed. , and the front-line troops also took advantage of this rare opportunity to quickly retreat back. Most of the tanks and armored vehicles that were withdrawn were carrying bone arrows. Since people were sitting in the tanks, the skeleton archers could not be accurate. Aim at the soldiers in the tanks, so most of the soldiers in tanks and armored vehicles are still alive, but many are injured.

The retreat of human beings further aroused the national master's desire to kill: "Human beings, suffer death! Order the troops behind to speed up. These humans must not be allowed to escape!"

"Yes!" The skeleton attendant next to the national master also said with strong flames in his eyes.
