Chapter 487: Landing in Suez

After a day of preparation, Li Yuanhong finally prepared all the supplies, and the battle to attack Cairo finally kicked off.

Li Yuanhong did not plan to attack directly from land. He had to cross the desert on land and face enemy resistance. Li Yuanhong planned to take a shortcut from the sea and kill them directly.

On the day Li Yuanhong's fleet set sail, a team of scorpions came to the place where Bestene blocked the attack that day. The scorpions kept rummaging in the sand, and finally found only some broken bones and shrouds.

When the scorpions disappeared, a group of hyenas appeared again. These hyenas also kept rummaging in the sand. They found even less things, and eventually these hyenas also disappeared into the desert.

Similarly, at the Temple of the Sun, a group of kobolds came. These kobolds found the underground temple, but they only saw the statue of the god with its eyes gouged out. As for the blood stains in the hall, after several days of sand attacks, they were basically all gone. Covered, just like that, the group of kobolds left with basically nothing.

Li Yuanhong's fleet also encountered trouble, namely the violent temper and numerous reefs in the Red Sea.

Originally, Li Yuanhong planned to speed up by taking a boat, but the temper of the Red Sea was very bad. It was still clear and sunny in the morning, but at noon, it became overcast and the wind was strong. Fortunately, in addition to the strong wind here, there was not much rainfall, so It saved Li Yuanhong a lot of pain from being caught in the rain. He had no choice but to walk for almost a section before he had to go to a port to take shelter from the storm. As a result, it was expected to take two days, but Li Yuanhong walked for four days.

When Li Yuanhong arrived at the entrance of the Suez Canal, Li Yuanhong abandoned his ship and landed. The landing place was Suez, which is a famous seaport. Before the opening of the Suez Canal, it was an important commercial port and military port in Egypt. When the Suez Canal was opened, Later, as the economy, trade and transportation industry became increasingly developed, the port became even more prosperous.

However, after the apocalypse, this place became a paradise for zombies. There were still some ships parked in the port, most of which were in decay. This was mainly due to the fact that the salt content in the Red Sea was too high and was very corrosive to ships. Before the apocalypse, some people regularly cleaned these ships. With descaling and painting, the corrosion will not be so fast, but if no one takes care of it, these boats will be corroded quickly.

In addition, there are many zombies wandering in the port. The merchants and boatmen before the end of the world have become one kind of identity at the end of the world, that is, zombies. Perhaps this is the only opportunity for God to make human beings equal, but this equal opportunity The price is too high.

Ships need to be careful when approaching the port. Although those rotten ships are like tofu and will break when touched, Li Yuanhong does not want anything to happen to his warships that have survived the apocalypse.

Cautiously approaching the shore, the sound of ships moving attracted the attention of the zombies on the shore, who all turned to look at these tall ships.

"Attention, archers, use bows and arrows to destroy the zombies on the shore from a long distance. The landing ships are ready. After clearing the zombies on the shore, immediately rush to the beach and land. The naval guns of each fleet are ready for land support!" A series of The order came from Li Yuanhong's mouth. This was not the first time for such a port battle, so he was already familiar with it.

Since this is not his own country, Li Yuanhong has no scruples about firing cannons. Although many Arab-style buildings on the shore look to be old, Li Yuanhong does not care about the protection of cultural relics in foreign lands. Li Yuanhong is more concerned about the lives of his soldiers now. .

As orders were issued, the attack soon began. Before they understood what these ships were doing, the alien zombies were killed one by one by the bows and arrows fired from the ship, and then the landing craft began to sail towards the shore. Soon the army landed and began to clear away the scattered zombies on the dock.

Just as the Army was cleaning up the dock, there were suddenly the sounds of corpse throats in the distance, and a large group of zombies rushed towards the dock from all directions, as if these zombies were specifically waiting for humans to come ashore so that they could surround them.

However, Li Yuanhong had already prepared the artillery on each ship. Following the order, he fired artillery shells at various intersections on the pier.

Due to the huge power of the naval gun, it not only blasted the zombies that rushed over directly into the sky, but also shattered the glass of the houses on both sides of the street. What's more, it directly blew up the houses together with the zombies, and suddenly the house was shattered. The house collapsed and dust rose up.

Li Yuanhong didn't care at all about the destructive power of the shells at this time. What Li Yuanhong is concerned about now is that the reaction of these zombies is a bit abnormal. These zombies seemed to have a premeditated plan to encircle and suppress their own troops, but these zombies were not smart enough to understand the strategy of luring the enemy deep into the area. But since the zombies have premeditated plans, there is a leading zombie commander here, and this zombie is likely to know every move he makes. So where does this zombie look at him?

Li Yuanhong held a telescope and carefully observed the surrounding buildings. Suddenly a building fell into Li Yuanhong's sight.

It is a palace-like building, an iconic Arabic dome building. This is not the point. The point is that there are two tall spiers on both sides of the building. These spiers are higher than all the surrounding buildings, dividing the Suez Canal. The entrance to the sea is completely included in his monitoring range.

Although Li Yuanhong did not see whether there were zombies in the minaret, Li Yuanhong felt the surveillance eyes from inside the minaret.

Li Yuanhong smiled slightly, don't think that because it is an ancient building, I don't dare to blow it up. This is not a Chinese civilization building, so I will blow it up.

"Commander Fu, have you seen that building?" Li Yuanhong called to Fu Chuanzhi, who was directing the artillery bombardment, and gestured to the white dome building with his head.

"I saw it, it should be a temple there! What's wrong?" Fu Chuanzhi didn't know why Li Yuanhong showed him that building.

"Add two heavy cannons and blow up that building, including the spires on both sides, for me!" Li Yuanhong said.

"Blowed up? That's an ancient building. Wouldn't it be a pity if it blew up?"

"There may be giant zombies hiding there. We are surrounded by zombies here. It is probably the zombies there who are commanding us."

"What? Where are the giant zombies hiding?" Fu Chuanzhi did not expect that the giant zombies would hide under his nose. In the past, the giant zombies stayed away from the battlefield and hid as far away as they could, for fear of being accidentally affected by the flames of war. Today this giant is obviously a little too bold.

"I'm guessing, but I think the guess is pretty close." Li Yuanhong said.

"Okay, I understand!"

Fu Chuanzhi didn't say anything more, and directly adjusted the artillery to bombard. However, this time, instead of two cannons, Fu Chuanzhi directly adjusted four cannons. At the same time, he also dispatched two planes. When everything was ready, Fu Chuanzhi personally issued the order to attack. , suddenly four missiles and four heavy artillery shells fell directly on the building. The milky-white building was immediately enveloped in red flames, white stones were carried into the air by the gunfire, and the two spiers were directly broken. It hit the ground hard, causing a cloud of dust and smoke.

After the first wave of attacks, Fu Chuanzhi did not stop, and then the second wave of attacks followed. At this time, Fu Chuanzhi faintly heard the roar of the zombies, but the roar was masked by the sound of exploding shells.

Fu Chuanzhi called for several attacks in succession, turning the white building into a complete ruin. Moreover, it was the kind of ruin with only rubble on the ground and no main building standing.

As the white building was bombed, the group of corpses began to appear chaotic, especially those zombies that were disturbed by the explosions everywhere, like headless flies, bumping east and west.

Seeing the changes in the group of corpses, Li Yuanhong knew that he had guessed correctly. He just didn't know how many zombies were killed in that bombing. However, looking at the white building, it had completely turned into rubble, and Li Yuanhong had no intention of rummaging through it. Bodies under broken bricks and rubble.

With the zombies losing their command, the next battle will be much easier to fight. The shield soldiers are in front to withstand the zombie attack, and the archers and snipers are shooting in taller buildings to block the zombies, firmly controlling the zombies. The streets then gradually encroached, and the whole battle lasted until the sun went down, and then stopped.

After a battle, most of the buildings in the originally prosperous city had turned into rubble, mainly because there were zombies hidden in many buildings. For safety, Li Yuanhong directly blew them up. This attack speed was very fast, but It is also very destructive to cities.

When night came, Li Yuanhong looked at the map and thought about the next move to Cairo, while Fu Chuanzhi was counting today's results.

Although Suez is considered a larger city in Egypt, it has a population of less than 500,000. This also includes the many staff on the cargo ships transported here. This number of people is destined to not have a lot of zombies.

For Fu Chuanzhi, who was used to seeing zombies ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions and tens of millions in China, the capture of Suez was really a small scene. If Li Yuanhong hadn't been eager to attack Cairo, Fu Chuanzhi would not have wasted so many artillery shells.

You know, producing cannonballs in the last days is not an easy task. Normally, Li Yuanhong would be very careful about every cannonball. Unexpectedly, Li Yuanhong was so careful today that he almost leveled the entire city.

"Commander Fu, next I will lead the army to attack Cairo directly. You build a temporary base here and be ready to support me from the air at any time. What do you think?" Li Yuanhong suddenly looked up at Fu Chuanzhi.

"Isn't it too dangerous to go deep alone? We know nothing about Cairo now. If there are too many enemies there, it wouldn't be very dangerous!" Fu Chuanzhi persuaded.

"Time waits for us. We have been delayed here for too long. We must speed up and strive to completely capture Cairo this month. Then we will move to Australia and South America." Li Yuanhong frowned deeply. The task Naga gave him was too difficult. Now Li Yuanhong could only force his way through, and he was no longer able to help it.
