Chapter 495 Capture of Cairo

Seeing the unkind look on Pharaoh's face, Abinus hurriedly said: Your Majesty, this is just an estimate. These people should not be needed.

Okay, then hurry up! Pharaoh waved his hand and returned to the big tent to drink and have fun.

Seeing that Pharaoh was gone, Abinus shook his head helplessly, thinking that he was doing a thankless job.

There was no other way. With Pharaoh's order, Abinus had no choice but to rush forward.

Crack the mechanism. For mechanical mechanisms, such as pit traps and crossbows, these are easier to crack. Just find the mechanism button and prevent it from being triggered. But for the kind that is controlled by people, you have to send troops to rush in and kill the controller. This is undoubtedly a tough battle. If it were outside, Abinus could rely on the number of zombies to pile up the opponent to death, but this is the widest place inside the pyramid, and it is only as wide as four or five people walking side by side. If you want to rely on Winning through numerical superiority is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

There is not one such pass, but many. Each place requires Abinus to consume huge troops. Fortunately, the traps are destroyed everywhere. According to Abinus' estimation, in one day, it will be over. You can take down the statue control room.

However, when the Pharaoh's army besieged the pyramid, an elite force quietly bypassed the pyramid and marched towards Cairo. The team was led by guards. Recently, the guards were sent to school by Li Yuanhong to study. He studied military command. According to today's Theoretically speaking, the guards have reached master-level command studies. In ancient times, this level would be almost the same as that of commanders like Li Mu Lianpo, but there is still a certain gap between them and commanding geniuses like Zhang Liang and Han Xin. But to deal with For ordinary enemies, that is more than enough.

How is the situation ahead? the guard asked a scout.

Report to the captain, we have already investigated before. The outside of Cairo is guarded by zombies. They are distributed in the surrounding residential areas. There are not many in number, less than 300,000. The scout said.

Okay, let's fight quickly. Send tank soldiers to open the way in front, and snipers and infantry will cover and cooperate on both sides. We must pass through the residential areas as soon as possible and capture the royal city. The guard said.

Yes, Captain!

The scouts went down, and the team soon rushed directly towards Cairo.

This attack was a bit like a raid. The target was the royal city, so as soon as the team came up, they rushed and attacked, instantly scattering the scattered zombies on the periphery.

Originally there were more than four million zombies in Cairo, but four million were transferred away, so there are not many troops left in Cairo. The remaining more than 300,000 zombies are distributed in every corner of the city. The total number seems to be a lot, but in a certain direction, the number is less than 40,000 to 50,000, and these are not gathered together and faced by the army at the same time. The number of corpses is only a few thousand at most.

For a tank, thousands of zombies can basically be crushed directly without firing a cannon. Of course, a tank will never give the zombies a chance to get close to it. After a bomb blast, the zombies will basically lie down horizontally and vertically. A few are alive.

When the tanks rolled over, the convoy behind them followed up in time, ignoring the dead zombies and only cleaning up those zombies that came from other places, and then followed the tank troops all the way. In less than half an hour, the entire team attacked the royal city. .

This royal city was built on the Nile River. The Pharaoh even used a large number of zombies as slaves to dig a moat around the royal city.

The area of ​​the royal city is almost half the size of the Chinese Forbidden City. The outer city wall is fifteen meters high. There are defensive facilities such as arrow towers on the wall. There is also an inner city in the royal city, which can be said to be tightly defended. If the guards in the royal city were heavily guarded and wanted to rely on their two thousand men to take over the royal city, that would undoubtedly be wishful thinking. But now, there are less than 50,000 defenders in the royal city, and they are still low-class soldiers with weak combat effectiveness.

When the guards led the troops to the other side of the moat, they saw only a few kobolds and snake demons standing on the wall, and more red-tailed scorpions and centipede vipers. Although there were many of these insects, they were densely crawling all over the wall. , but these mutated poisonous insects are all melee combat units. The suspension bridge was pulled up, and these poisonous insects were also trapped in the city, unable to attack humans outside the moat.

Snipers, focus on clearing out those long-range troops manipulating crossbows. Tanks retreat to stop the pursuing zombies! The guards quickly arranged an offensive formation. In order to completely capture the royal city, the guards did not let the tanks bomb the city wall.

At this time, the enemies on the city wall had discovered traces of humans and began to mobilize city defense weapons, large city defense magic crossbows and trebuchets, to carry out long-range attacks. Although these were cold weapons, through the increase of the magic array, they were no more powerful than Li Yuanhong's tanks. What's the difference between cannonballs.

The magic crossbow shot at the tank and immediately penetrated the outer armor of the tank. If the arrow hadn't been so inaccurate and only hit the side of the tank, the soldiers in the tank would have been directly pierced through the candied haws.

That trebuchet, a huge boulder with a fireball fell from the sky and hit the ground. It exploded with a boom like a cannonball. Suddenly, gravel flew everywhere, injuring many soldiers who did not defend themselves in time.

For a time, various explosions occurred one after another on the guard position, and dozens of soldiers were injured.

However, large city defenses and trebuchets require a long time to equip ammunition, which gives the guards plenty of time to evade and counterattack.

When a round of cold weapon attacks ended, the human counterattack arrived.

The first was the sniper's roll call. A kobold who was loading a crossbow had just picked up a crossbow and was about to put it on the crossbow. A bullet passed through his eyebrows, and then his head was like a swollen ball. It suddenly exploded, brains flying out, splashing all over the surrounding kobolds, which made the unprepared kobolds scream.

The kobolds who were carrying stones were also given special attention, and soon the kobolds who were responsible for carrying ammunition were named one by one. This made the kobolds afraid to work straight up, and the transportation speed was greatly reduced.

The second round of city defense weapon attacks began, but less than one-third of the city defense weapons fired ammunition. The others were either not equipped, or did not dare to raise their heads and launched attacks without aiming. The crossbow arrows and stones were not Know where to shoot.

When the second wave of attacks came, there were not so many explosions on the guard position. Instead, the surrounding residential buildings were in bad luck. The houses were knocked down by the stones and crossbow arrows, and dust was everywhere.

At this time, a more intensive human attack arrived. Not only were the sharpshooters attacking by name, but the infantry cannons they carried also joined the attack range. Those shells not only exploded the city walls and scattered corpses, but also directly saw those city defense weapons. Directly destroy it. Now the defenders have no weapons to attack. They can only use those melee weapons, howling and screaming, but there is nothing they can do.

With the addition of infantry artillery, the long-range weapons on the city wall were quickly cleared, and the guards began to attack with ease. Since snake monsters and kobolds were not good at using bows and arrows, long-range weapons that required skill, the guards directly moved the troops. Send them to the edge of the moat for attack. Not only can guns be fired here, but grenades can also be thrown. Although grenades are not as powerful as artillery shells, they are denser. Dozens of people stood by the river and threw grenades together, and a rain of grenades fell on the city wall. Not only the kobolds and snake monsters were unlucky, but the scorpions, centipedes and poisonous snakes crawling on the city wall were also killed one after another.

Just as the guards were attacking Zheng Huan, the suspension bridge was suddenly lowered and the city gate was opened. Many kobolds and snake demons rushed towards the other side of the moat, shouting and clawing their teeth. Behind these soldiers were densely packed venomous insects and snakes. That scene would definitely make those with trypophobia afraid to look directly at them.

Originally, going out of the city to meet the enemy was generally used when defending, and few people would use it. After all, relying on the advantage of the city's defense, it could kill more enemies. But now, all the long-range weapons on the city are destroyed, and it will take time for the defensive weapons in the city to be transported. During this time, the soldiers on the city can only be beaten passively, so the officer in charge of the city defense plans to go out of the city to meet the enemy, so that The numerical advantage of one's own army was brought into play.

If it were placed in ancient times, this strategy might have been effective. After all, the soldiers brought by the guards were less than two thousand, and the number of defensive soldiers in the city was tens of thousands. This number exceeded the number of guards dozens of times.

But the officers guarding the city ignored one thing, and that was the width of the city gate. To go out of the city to meet the enemy, you must first leave the city, and the guard soldiers were already standing on the edge of the moat. As soon as the city gate opened, it immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers on the edge of the moat. These soldiers pointed their guns at the city gate. Those kobolds and The snake demon was knocked down by a hail of bullets before he could even get out of the door again.

What followed was grenades and tank shells. For a time, the city gate was filled with smoke and explosions were heard everywhere. Those snake demons and kobolds who were charging outside were blown away with their flesh and blood, while those poisonous insects and snakes that followed behind, There were even more casualties.

These soldiers guarding the city were blocked back by human fire before they left the city. This made the officers guarding the city scream, but there was nothing they could do.

Just when the city guarding officer was furious, the humans took advantage of the city gate to open and began to charge into the city. Tanks shelled all the way and rushed into the gate.

At this time, the officer guarding the city came to his senses, and shouted loudly to the soldiers controlling the suspension bridge and gate: Hurry up and pull the suspension bridge, close the city gate, and don't let the intruders rush in!

However, he shouted too late. The first batch of tanks had already rushed across the suspension bridge and rushed into the gate. The artillery fire kept chasing the retreating defenders, blowing up the limbs of the retreating soldiers.

It was originally a retreat, but the soldiers were blown away and fled in all directions, and the retreat turned into an escape. As a result, no one closed the door.

Although the suspension bridge was pulled up, control of the city gate was lost. Crossing the river was too easy for humans. A few wooden planks were used to build a proposed bridge. Although tanks could not pass, the soldiers rushed directly into the city and then climbed onto the city wall. , naturally the suspension bridge was quickly lowered again.
