Apocalyptic Hero System

Chapter 278 The Siege of Jiayuguan

As the explosion from the eye of the storm came, the strong storm suddenly slowed down. The rotating wind and sand suddenly seemed to have lost the traction of the flying hammer, and suddenly exploded with a bang and splashed out in all directions, leaving many distances behind. The soldiers not far from the wind wall had their heads covered with sand.

As the wind wall exploded, the weather over the yellow sand gradually became clearer, and the majestic Jiayuguan Pass in the distance was finally revealed, and vaguely, the wall was filled with soldiers and zombie soldiers.

Wang Jingrong didn't pay attention to this at this time. He wanted to find the missing legion, so he led a group of soldiers towards the missing military camp on the road covered by the wind and sand.

Not long after, they arrived at a patch of earth. It was obviously not a naturally formed patch of earth, but an earth patch caused by something being buried.

Quick, use the engineering shovel to dig up these earth bags! Wang Jingrong quickly ordered the soldiers to dig out these earth bags.

Soon, a voice came: Report to the commander, there is something discovered here!

Wang Jingrong ran following the sound and saw that the soldier dug up the sand dune and revealed a tent buried by the wind and sand. The tent was half collapsed, but there was no collapsed part because there was a table tent erected inside the tent. The inside of the tent was still very messy. Apparently the things inside had just been moved in, and before there was time to organize them, an accident occurred. And in the corner, there was a corpse in military uniform, lying there, with his back up and face down, motionless, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Hurry up and get two people to carry the soldier out and see if he can be saved? Although Wang Jingrong had no hope, he couldn't let his men's bodies be exposed in the wilderness.

So the two soldiers quickly went over and turned the soldier who was facing down, trying to move it out. Unexpectedly, when they turned over, one of the soldiers exclaimed Oops, and when he loosened his hand, the body fell heavily again. Fall to dust. I saw that the corpse had turned into a mummy, and the skin on the body was dry and wrinkled, as if this was not a newly deceased person, but an ancient corpse that had been dried for thousands of years. The face still had a look of horror, although the entire face had become dry. It shrank greatly, but that terrifying expression had instantly solidified.

Seeing this, Wang Jingrong immediately picked up an unrolled marching blanket from the table next to him, then quickly walked to the entity, and then gently covered the body with the marching blanket: Go too far, don't Let these heroic spirits continue to be eroded by wind and sand.

Yes! the two soldiers stood at attention. The screaming soldier's face turned red. He had been too rude just now. If Wang Jingrong hadn't led the team, he would probably have been criticized by the old squad leader again.

The search continued, and tents or bodies were found from time to time. Without exception, those bodies turned into mummies, no body was normal, and all the soldiers were killed, without a single survivor.

Wang Jingrong spent an hour cleaning up the vanguard camp and found all the missing persons. Seeing this, Wang Jingrong could only silently write down that he must seek revenge from those zombies.

At this time, Xing Ling arrived with the rear team. He had already heard the reports from the soldiers below about the vanguard team, so he met with Wang Jingrong to discuss how to attack Jiayuguan.

I think we can attack directly to avenge the dead soldiers. Wang Jingrong said bitterly.

You think this Western Region Empire is coming up with some kind of formation? Xing Ling asked worriedly.

Probably not! After all, that formation requires living sacrifices. There shouldn't be that many people in the Western Empire to allow him to perform so many sacrifices! When Wang Jingrong mentioned sacrifices, his teeth itched with hatred.

Well, what you said makes sense, but we have to guard against it. Let's send some soldiers over to test it first. Xing Ling said.

good!

Soon a team of ten tanks and armored vehicles attacked Jiayuguan. The tanks' artillery fire began to fire on the zombies on the city wall less than five kilometers away from the city wall. Many of the zombies on those walls were killed. The explosion came down, and the gunfire quickly filled the city wall, and the zombies slowly disappeared on the city wall.

Commander Xing, is the smoke on the city wall too thick? Wang Jingrong used a telescope to observe the movements of the zombies, but what made Wang Jingrong very suspicious was why the zombies on the wall were standing there so stupidly. He didn't fight back when he was beaten, and as soon as the artillery fire was fired, smoke billowed from the city wall, making it impossible for him to see the zombies clearly.

Well, let the tank troops be careful. Now, after firing a few salvos at the city head from a kilometer away, they will blast open the city gate and then rush in. Xing Ling said cautiously.

Okay, it's safe this way. Once the tanks enter the city, let the Griffin troops provide air cover. Wang Jingrong added.

The tank troops progressed smoothly and soon reached less than two kilometers away from the city wall. During this period, there was no movement on the city wall. The gryphon troops that took off did not notice any abnormalities on the city wall due to the interference of the thick smoke.

However, at this moment, a change occurred. Many flying arrows and energy cannonballs suddenly flew out from the thick smoke. Those arrows shot directly at the gryphon troops in the sky, and those energy cannons shot directly at the tanks. They were suddenly attacked. Since the griffin troops were only more than a hundred meters away from the ground, and due to the interference of the smoke, when they discovered that the bows and arrows were attacking, the arrows were already very close, and many griffins could no longer escape. Many griffins screamed and fell down after being hit by arrows. A few griffons that hid faster flew high and were not hit by the arrows.

And those magic shells directly hit the tank group, directly blowing up several tanks, and the tanks that were not bombed also quickly retreated back. However, those magic guns kept following and shooting, and only two of the ten tanks returned in the end. Moreover, they were all injured, and it was impossible to fight again. They could only be towed by trailers and returned to the rear base for repairs.

Damn it, when did zombies shoot cannons and arrows? And these arrows shoot too far, more than two hundred meters! Looking through the telescope, Wang Jingrong cursed.

Yeah, and these zombies know how to fight. They don't open fire until our tanks are within two kilometers, and their magic can reach at least three kilometers, and I suspect that the zombies' bows and arrows can reach more than two hundred meters. ! Xing Ling also frowned and said.

Well, this won't be easy! Wang Jingrong said in a depressed voice.

It seems that we can't attack by force, otherwise we will suffer too much loss, and we must find other ways. Xing Ling also said in a low mood.

This is the first time for them to fight under the pressure of zombies. Maybe they can send a plane over, but due to the smoke cover, the plane cannot accurately shoot the zombies. Now, for the first time, Wang Jingrong and Xing Ling feel that they are a little helpless in fighting the zombies. Xiakou.

At this time, the old magician came with Huang Xiaopeng and his group of students. At this time, Huang Xiaopeng pointed at the zombies on the city wall and asked: Teacher, like these zombies on the city wall, our magic can't shoot as far as their cannons on the city. What will we do? What about the offense?”

The old magician stroked his beard, looked at the city wall with squinted eyes and said: There are three ways to attack a city like this where the enemy has long-range attack weapons.

Upon hearing that the old magician had a way to attack the city, Xing Ling and Wang Jingrong also pricked up their ears and listened.

The first is to encircle the city without attacking, and directly trap the enemies in the city to death. Especially in such an isolated city, trapping to death is a good choice. However, there are zombies in this city, so this method will definitely not work.

Upon hearing the old magician's first method, both Xing Ling and Wang Jingrong shook their heads helplessly. This first method was completely unsuitable for the current situation. Even if there were humans in the city now, time would not allow Wang Jingrong to do so. He Xingling used siege to win.

The old magician went on to talk about his second strategy: The second one is that you learn the art of soaring, then fly to a high altitude, cross the high wall, use mass destruction magic from the sky, and attack from top to bottom, so that That’s fine.”

Teacher, when we fly into the air, won't we become targets for those archers? Huang Xiaopeng discovered the weakness of the second method and asked.

Well, if there are no magic archers in the city, your energy shield can withstand a burst of bow and arrow attacks, so this method also requires advance detection to ensure that the archers and magicians in the city cannot attack you. The old magician Speak slowly.

When they heard about the second method, the students all looked ugly. This second method looked like a suicide attack, and the students present did not want to try it.

The third case consumes a lot of money, and it is easy to accidentally injure civilians, so it is rarely used on the battlefield. The old magician said.

What method? the old magician said, arousing the students' interest.

The third method is magic array. Just like zombies can set up magic arrays to attack you, you can also set up magic arrays to attack zombies. Especially when these zombies are in the city, you can set up large-scale light magic to purify the zombies in the city. It's just that this method requires a lot of crystal nuclei or crystal stones, so if you don't have enough resources, it's best not to play! The old magician stroked his beard and glanced sideways at Wang Jingrong and Xing Ling who were eavesdropping. Obviously This third method is just for them.

Principal Magician, how many crystal cores are needed? As long as we can capture this city, we are willing to pay for it! The two commanders replied almost at the same time. No matter how much the cost is, they are willing to pay for it, especially now that there are many crystal cores. The cores are all used secondary charged crystal nuclei. These crystal nuclei cannot be used to make evolutionary fluids. It doesn't hurt either of them to use them. Especially these crystal nuclei can save the lives of many soldiers. They feel that the cost is worth it.

Soon, the transport spacecraft that received Xing Ling's order flew over, and boxes of crystal cores were moved off the airship and piled up like a hill.

Principal Magician, do you think these crystal nuclei are enough? Wang Jingrong asked, pointing to the crystal nuclei.

Haha, your army is still rich. If you want to get crystal nuclei, just the crystal nuclei. There are at least one or two million crystal nuclei, right?! the old magician sighed.

Haha, it's not that our army is rich, it's that we killed a lot of zombies. These are the secondary charging crystal cores that were transferred from the rear to use as energy for the magic energy cannon. I don't know if they can be used.

It's definitely no problem, but the magic circle I set up may not be enough. You can ask me to bring some more later. The old magician said unceremoniously.

No problem! Wang Jingrong immediately went to assemble the crystal cores.

Seeing Wang Jingrong walk away, the old magician walked up to the students and said: I will take you to set up the magic array in a while. You will group up and set up according to the array diagram I gave. After a while, the setting is completed, and I will check. If anyone has set it up incorrectly, If you pass, I will treat you as if you failed the magic circle assessment this semester.

Yes! The old magician's stern face did not put down these students. Instead, it inspired these students' fighting spirit. They all answered loudly with their little hands clenched.

Xing Ling looked at it with a dark look on his face, this old magician really used this place as a classroom!
