Chapter 502 The Camp Was Bombed
With the addition of the Zerg, human casualties began to gradually increase, and those vultures invaded the city, hindering the transportation team that was transporting ammunition in the city. Although there were anti-aircraft weapons in the city, the places in the city that needed to be defended were too wrong. , so the firepower density is not enough, which allows these vultures to find a gap.
As the transport team was blocked, the ammunition in the front began to be tight, especially the artillery shells, which were about to be used up. Although the guards ordered the city to step up the attack on the vultures in the air, the effect was not significant. Instead, more and more transport teams, Under attack.
"No, this won't work. If we don't deal with these vultures, we may not be able to hold on until dawn!" The guard looked at his watch. It was already less than two hours before dawn.
"Captain, we have thought of many ways. Those vultures are too cunning. They always attack sneakily. We can't bring anti-aircraft artillery with the vehicle and shoot with guns. We can't hit them at all. These vultures are too fast and we can't aim! "The team leader in charge of transportation reported to the guard with an aggrieved look.
"They can fly? How can they attack you?" the guard asked.
"They mainly rely on claws and wind blade magic. However, our transport vehicles have been reinforced and the wind blade magic will not do much damage to the vehicles. However, their claws are so powerful that they can scratch a hole in the armor with one claw. .”
"That means they have to fly down to attack, right?" the guard asked.
"Yes."
"Then there is a way. If you do this, you can subdue these vultures!" the guard whispered in the squad leader's ear.
"Okay?" The team leader looked at the guard with questioning eyes.
"Go ahead, come back to me if you can't! But you have to be fast, otherwise there will be no ammunition to fight here!" the guard urged.
"Okay, I'll give it a try!" The team leader walked outside with doubts.
Not long after, several modified transport vehicles drove out of the warehouse and drove towards the city wall.
At this time, several vultures circling in the air immediately focused on the convoy, so several vultures immediately attacked the convoy. Although guns on the convoy kept firing, these bullets were easily dodged by these vultures.
Soon, the vultures flew over the convoy, but then the vultures discovered that this convoy was a little different from the other convoys. These cars were covered with a layer of camouflage nets, but how could these camouflages hide the eyes of these vultures? , these vultures spread their claws and clawed hard at the roofs of cars. In the eyes of these vultures, these cars are here to die. As long as they scratch the outer shell of these cars, the soldiers inside can be kneaded by themselves.
However, the imagined thing of grabbing the soldiers inside after scratching through the roof of the car did not happen, because the vulture's claws were actually blocked by the camouflage net.
The vulture knew that it could not catch the soldiers inside, so it quickly flapped its wings, prepared to fly away, and then attack again. However, it was then that the vulture discovered that his claws were stuck in the protective net and could not be pulled out.
The vulture quickly lowered its head and used its iron-like beak to peck the camouflage net hard, preparing to break it. But I don’t know what material the camouflage net is made of, and the giant beak that can even break the bones of mutated beasts failed to break the inconspicuous rope.
While several vultures were competing with the rope, the soldiers guarding the car did not want to just watch, so several rifles fired at the vultures at the same time. The vultures that could not fly away were beaten into sieves by bullets.
But the vultures in the sky saw this scene. Several of their companions flew down and attacked the convoy. However, when they encountered the strange camouflage nets of the convoy, they seemed to be under magic. They just flapped their wings and did not know how to escape. Until he was shot to death.
Then a few more vultures, who did not believe in evil, attacked the convoy, but the result was the same: they were beaten to death by the soldiers, and they probably became a snack for the soldiers at night.
Now the vultures circling in the sky no longer dared to fly down to attack the convoy. The convoy smoothly transported the ammunition to the city wall. Now the weakened artillery fire regained its vitality. The group of corpses that had just rushed up , suppressed by artillery fire again.
The battle continued until dawn. The corpses of zombies almost blocked the city gate. The entire city became a mountain of corpses and a river of blood. The moat was also blocked by zombie corpses. The soldiers guarding the city were also injured by poisonous insects. Nearly a hundred, and Abinus also became fierce and began to attack the city wall. In some places, the city bricks had been smashed. As long as they were given some time, it was not impossible to collapse the city wall.
However, at this moment, behind the Pharaoh's camp, smoke covered the sky in the desert. There was a faint rumble of motors in the smoke. However, these did not attract the attention of the soldiers in the walled city because the battle conditions on the battlefield were completely fascinating. attracted the attention of the patrolling soldiers.
It was only when the smoke was less than 500 meters away from the walled city that the patrolling soldiers noticed it.
"Captain, is it an earthquake? Why do I feel like the sand is beating?" a soldier asked their captain.
"What's so strange about this? There's a battle ahead. Every time the cannon hits the ground, there's nothing strange about it." The captain said unconcernedly.
"Yes, the captain is right. But the vibration seems a bit strange. The cannon vibrated once and for all. Now the vibration is like tens of thousands of bison running." The soldier said.
"Yes, I also feel the vibration is different." Another soldier next to him said.
At this time, the captain also felt that something was wrong, so he raised his head and looked outside the camp in the direction of the source of the sound. Although the sky has begun to lighten now, the night has not completely receded. The sun is only exposed on the horizon in the east, and other places are still shrouded in darkness.
It just seemed like the wind was blowing from the east, raising the smoke and dust in the desert and dimming the rising sun.
"No, there is an enemy attack!" Only then did the captain feel that something was wrong with the smoke. It was not blown by the wind. It was clearly smoke caused by a convoy driving towards the camp.
Unfortunately, the captain noticed it too late. Just as the captain shouted, a cannonball shot out of the smoke and lifted a tent in the camp into the sky. Then more shells flew out of the smoke, more explosions were heard in the camp, and the entire camp instantly turned into a sea of fire.
"What happened?!" At this time, the Pharaoh came out of the tent in disheveled clothes. Last night, he heard that the army had invaded the royal city, which made him excited again. He and two maids fought San Lily again. He had just fallen asleep. It didn't take long, but the dark circles on my eyes still haven't receded.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down, the entire camp was bombed. Even if the pharaoh was in a coma and the camp was bombed, he knew that the enemy was attacking. However, if the enemies in the royal city were not about to be wiped out, what else could he do? The enemy is coming?
In the chaos, the Pharaoh wanted to grab a soldier and question him. However, at this moment, a cannonball landed not far from his tent. The huge explosion blast directly blew away his tent, and the maid inside was Shouting in fear, the two maids were only focused on venting the fear in their hearts and had forgotten that they were still naked.
At this time, Pharaoh could no longer care about anything else and shouted loudly: "Here comes someone, protect me!"
However, the camp was in chaos at this time, and no one paid attention to his shouts.
"Your Majesty, let's run quickly to find General Abinus and let him protect you!"
Just when Pharaoh didn't know what to do, his loyal housekeeper ran over and shouted to him.
"Yes, I still have General Abinus here!" At this time, the Pharaoh remembered Abinus who was fighting on the front line, so he took the chief steward and ran towards Abinus' command post.
At this time, Abinus was also very depressed. Since the whole army charged, the battle situation had been tilted in his favor for a while. The human artillery fire had even weakened a lot, allowing his zombie army to rush to the city and successfully set up the ladder. . Many zombies climbed to the top of the city along the ladder and began to engage in close combat with human soldiers.
Abinus knew very well that as long as a large number of zombies boarded the city, humans would no longer be able to defend the royal city. At that time, he would only have to crush them all the way to regain the royal city smoothly.
However, the human artillery fire soon recovered. The intensive artillery fire and incendiary grenades caused heavy casualties to the zombies gathered under the city. The offensive that had just been launched was defeated again. As for the zombies who climbed onto the city wall, their roars could still be heard at first, but soon the voices of these zombies disappeared, and it was not clear whether they were dead or alive.
What worries Abinus even more is that as dawn approaches, the advantage of the zombies will be lost, and even the combat effectiveness of the zombies will drop significantly during the day.
Just when Abinus was worried, suddenly there was a violent explosion from the camp not far behind him, and there was a faint light of fire.
At first, Abinus thought that someone was attacking the camp, and did not expect that someone was outflanking him from behind. But when he saw the disheveled Pharaoh, Abinus realized that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Abinus rushed to Pharaoh and asked.
"General Abinus, our camp has been bombarded. Hurry, bring your troops and horses and kill those damn humans!" Pharaoh gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, from which direction did the enemy who bombarded the camp attack? How many people are there?" Abinus then asked.
"How did I know? Just lead your troops and destroy them. Why do you care so much?" Pharaoh said.
"This... Your Majesty, I don't know where the enemy is. Where should I attack?" Abinus was also helpless. Now the pharaoh didn't know anything about it and couldn't provide valuable information at all.
"General Abinus, the enemy's attack is likely to come from the east side of the camp. I heard that the source of the initial explosion was from the east side of the camp." At this time, the steward walked up to Abinus and spoke softly. said.
"To the east, could it be that reinforcements from the city have arrived?"
