Apocalyptic Hero System

Chapter 496: Counterattack on the Royal City

The city gate was lost. In fact, the royal city was taken away. After all, no matter how powerful these kobolds and snake demons were, they could not withstand the bombardment of artillery fire. Although those poisonous insects and scorpions were very poisonous, Li Yuanhong had already prepared pesticides for them. When these grenades explode, they will emit pesticide smoke, which will explode into a large area. No matter how many poisonous insects there are, they cannot withstand such an attack.

Just when the humans captured the city gate, there was an explosion behind the human team. This was the unit in charge of the rear, and it got into fire with the zombies that had gathered.

The guards climbed onto the city wall at this time and first took a look at the defeated troops in the city. These defeated troops had no resistance at all. They were like sheep being chased by wolves. They were running around wherever there was a gap. Those poisonous insects They could still rely on instinct to turn around and take a few bites, but those kobolds and snake monsters completely lost their fighting spirit and could only lower their heads and run away.

Outside the city, although there are zombies gathering, there are not many in number. This is mainly because the zombies are distributed throughout the city, and it takes time to gather them all at once.

Let the troops outside the city retreat to the city. At the same time, tell the troops inside the city that when pursuing, surround them three and let one go. Don't completely surround them. The guard said to the communications soldier next to him.

Yes, I understand! The communications soldier saluted and went down to convey the order.

The guard took out a communicator, turned it on, and said to it: Brother Li, I have successfully attacked Cairo City, and now I have captured the royal city. Please give me the next step!

Li Yuanhong's voice soon came from the communicator: You should actively reserve supplies and prepare for long-term war. You must be able to continue fighting for at least three days. In addition, you must actively defend the air. The enemy has air forces, especially in the city. , it is necessary to set up several more air defense firepower points, and do not let the enemy's air force take advantage of the gap. Also, try to eliminate the surrounding enemies by taking advantage of the gap where the enemy's main force has not returned for reinforcements, and search for surrounding supplies, so that when the enemy returns for reinforcements, there will be no Supplies are available.”

Yes, I understand! the guard replied in a loud voice.

Then the guard called another number and started calling: This is Fengying, this is Fengying, we have captured the Royal City of Cairo, and we can airdrop supplies here. The supplies we need here...

As the guards communicated by phone one by one, subsequent support troops and supplies were flown in by plane. While some of the remaining enemies in the royal city escaped from the opposite city gate, the rest were killed on the way to escape. After death, the next step is to take over the entire royal city.

Although this pharaoh is quite lustful, the basic city construction work is still very good. Let’s not talk about the grandeur of the palace. Let’s talk about the defense system of the city wall. It is really bombarded by tanks. It is estimated that there will be no continuous bombardment for a day. It is impossible to bombard it. Collapsed. There are also material reserves in the city, which also makes the guards stunned. This Africa is a famously arid area, and food crops have never been associated with high yields. However, the lower reaches of the Nile River are famous for the Nile Delta agricultural area. With this convenience, this The Pharaoh was asked to hoard a lot of grain, and there was not only grain in the granary, but also a large amount of dried meat, which was estimated to be enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people for several years.

I didn't expect there to be so much food here. It seems we just need planes to transport ammunition! The guard looked at the food in the warehouse and felt very satisfied.

At this time, a soldier ran over: Report to the captain, we found a lot of trebuchets and crossbows in another warehouse. Did you throw away these things?

Throw it away? Why are you so ignorant? These are all ready-made defensive weapons. Hurry up and move them to the city wall. These are good weapons for defense. Are there still crossbows in the warehouse?

Yes, Captain!

Then what are you doing here, kid? Hurry up and move these to the city wall. In two days, let the aliens see what it feels like to be beaten by their own weapons.

Just as the guards were checking the supplies in the warehouse, the zombies outside the city finally surrounded them. The commander who had escaped outside the city gathered his troops back together and found that only less than ten thousand troops were left. Ten thousand. Fortunately, there were nearly 300,000 zombies outside the city, so the commander gathered the zombies together and prepared to counterattack the royal city.

Of course, it would take time to gather the zombies who were walking around the city. By the time all 300,000 zombies had gathered, it would have been more than half a day, and the sun was already heading west. But for zombies, night is their home field.

The city guard commander looked at the royal city with his teeth itching. If he could gather the zombies at that time and attack from both sides, he would definitely be able to easily get rid of those humans. But these humans came out of nowhere and launched a sneak attack on themselves, causing them to lose the royal city. If they were held accountable by the Pharaoh, their lives would be lost.

Logically speaking, this commander should wait until dark before attacking, but in order to recapture the royal city as soon as possible, this commander directly ordered the attack.

General, we don't have siege weapons, how can we attack? At this time, a kobold came over and reminded.

Aren't both sides full of siege weapons? Tear down the house, use the beams as ladders, and use those stones as siege stones. Let the zombies use the stones to hit the damn humans on the city. , smash them all! the commander gritted his teeth.

Yes, sir! The soldiers below could only obey.

So before the battle started, these zombies started the demolition work enthusiastically, and soon a large area in front of the royal city was demolished without leaving any tiles.

In fact, this commander did not realize that he had done something very stupid. Originally, the numerous houses in front of the city wall were the best cover for approaching the city wall. However, in order to attack the city as quickly as possible, this commander removed these houses. It was demolished and exposed the entire army in front of the city wall, which undoubtedly became a target on the city wall.

Captain, those stupid zombies are demolishing the house, do we want to attack? a soldier asked the guard.

No, they demolished the house to facilitate our attack. Let the brothers prepare all the city defense weapons. We will give these zombies a big gift later.

Yes! The soldier took the order and went down to prepare.

When the house was almost demolished, hundreds of ladders were prepared, and some strong zombies were carrying a frame on their backs. The frame was filled with stones. It was obvious that these zombies were preparing to use these stones to hit people.

Seeing that the siege was ready, the city defense commander gave an order, and the black zombie army pressed towards the royal city.

The guard had been waiting for this moment for a long time, so he gave the order: Wait until the zombies are close to 100 meters away and shoot. The snipers will aim at the zombies carrying stones. They must not be allowed to get close to the city wall. Aim at the ladders with artillery fire and hit me hard. It exploded!

After hearing this, the soldiers below were all paying attention, waiting for the zombies to approach the city wall.

As the zombies approached the city wall, the guard gave an order. For a moment, ballistas, trebuchets and infantry cannons opened fire on the city. Suddenly the entire group of corpses was covered with stones and cannonballs. Although the zombies' defense power was greatly increased after their evolution, they were still vulnerable to The resistance of the huge rocks falling from the sky still did not improve much. Many zombies were directly smashed into pulp by the stones, while the damage from the artillery fire was even greater. Many zombies were directly torn into pieces by the air waves of the artillery fire.

And the power of the city defense crossbow is not small. Within 500 meters, many zombies were directly pierced by the city defense crossbow. Although the zombies who were pierced by the candied haws were not injured on the head. Some people say that you are alive, but your body can no longer move. Losing What's even more tragic is that a bunch of zombies just stood under the city wall, becoming a defensive stake on the city wall, blocking the attack of the zombies behind them.

Before the zombie army even approached the city wall, they were killed one after another by city defense weapons. Tens of thousands of them were killed or injured. Although these tens of thousands of zombies were nothing to the 300,000 zombie army, this was just the beginning of the battle. City defense commander Now I doubt whether the zombie army like myself can persist in the indiscriminate bombardment of the city for an hour.

Just when the city defense commander was hesitating whether to withdraw his troops, the second wave of human attacks arrived. However, this wave of attacks was not as strong as the first wave. It was mainly city defense crossbows and trebuchets. The speed of the second attack was too slow, so the second wave of attacks was not as strong as the first wave. The intensity of the second wave of attacks dropped by more than half, which once again gave the city defense commander hope of recapturing the royal city.

Come on, those who are moving the ladders, put the ladders on the moat first and let the zombies cross the river!

The city defense commander shouted loudly, directing the actions of these stubborn zombies. Although there were many zombies, many zombies could not complete the simple action of clumsily stepping on the ladder to cross the river. Many zombies simply stepped on the air and fell down. Entering the moat, I was washed away by the current.

However, the biggest advantage of zombies is their large number. Although one or two of the five zombies crossing the river will fall into the river, most of the zombies still crossed the moat, and soon the city was crowded with more than tens of thousands of zombies.

Seeing those zombies after crossing the river, they would only wave their hands and roar at the human soldiers on the city, but such roars would not hurt the soldiers on the city at all.

These stupid zombies are trying to build a ladder. Hurry up and put the ladder up on the city wall!

Seeing that the zombies in front were so mentally retarded, the angry city defense commander flew into a rage.

However, the guards on the city calmly directed the long-range weapon attack, not paying any attention to the zombies gathering below the city.

Captain, there are too many zombies gathering below. Should we shoot these zombies? A soldier asked worriedly as he looked at the zombies below the city.

Ignore them for now, save some, and we will destroy these zombies together later. By the way, have you prepared the oil barrels? the guard turned around and asked.

Everything is ready, just waiting for your order.

Well, that's good. We can have lights at night!

Lights? The soldier was a little confused. The guard asked him to prepare a lot of gasoline and diesel. Is it just for electric lighting?

As the fighting continued, the sun finally set, and the zombies finally knew that they should put the ladder on the city wall and climb up along the clouds.

At this time, the guard also gave an order: Quick, pour all the oil in the oil barrels into the city. We are going to set fire to the city!

The soldiers on the city quickly followed the instructions, and soon barrels of oil were poured into the corpses below the city. After a while, a strong smell of gasoline came from the city.

At this time, the city defense commander saw the humans on the city pouring some kind of liquid down, which made the city defense commander feel anxious. However, the liquid did not cause any harm to the zombies, so he felt relieved again. What made the city defense commander even more relieved was that the ladder was finally put up on the city wall, and the zombie army began to climb up the ladder.
