Shooting from a distance was still manageable, but fighting with zombies at close range required a lot of courage. Lei Cheng's battalion was mostly made up of new recruits, and had less than 3 months of training. Their actual combat experience was basically zero, and they had the courage to shoot from a distance. But to fight with zombies at close range, it was simply a fantasy.
The officers who were supervising the troops were livid, and while shooting the deserters, they shouted: "Those who run will die!"
One by one, the deserters were shot in the head by the supervising troops. Under the threat of death, the rest of the soldiers did not dare to run anymore. One by one, they picked up the guns in their hands, and fired at the L1 zombies that were thrown onto the wall.
Some of the L1 zombies that were thrown onto the wall directly collided with the human soldiers, and the L1 zombies that collided with the human soldiers immediately bit into the bodies of the human soldiers, tearing off a mouthful of flesh. The human soldiers immediately let out miserable cries, and frantically struggled under the bite of the L1 zombies. Following that, a dense rain of bullets enveloped the L1 zombies and the human soldiers that were bitten by them, turning them into sieves. Even more L1 zombies were thrown onto the wall, and before they could stand up, countless bullets pierced through their bodies.
Zombies were different from humans, as long as they were not shot in the head, they could still stand up. Even if the L1 zombies were shot through their bodies, as long as they were not shot in the head, or had their spine broken, they could still stand up.
At the same time, the L2 zombies grabbed the ordinary zombies beside them and threw them onto the wall. One by one, the ordinary zombies were thrown onto the wall. However, they were different from the L1 zombies. The bones of the ordinary zombies were extremely fragile. Most of the ordinary zombies that were thrown onto the wall had broken bones and could not even stand up. They could only crawl towards the human soldiers in pursuit of flesh and blood.
The ordinary zombies that were thrown onto the wall were far less of a threat than the L1 zombies, but with their tattered and blackened faces, and their rotten and shriveled bodies, they gave off a lot of pressure as they crawled towards the human soldiers. Especially those new recruits who had no actual combat experience, every one of them was so scared that their faces turned pale, and some even peed in their pants. If it wasn't for the fact that they would die if they tried to escape, they would have run away long ago.
The number of zombies on the wall increased, and the military's casualties rose rapidly. Not long after, it climbed to 30 people, and the line of defense was on the verge of collapse.
"Open fire!! Go all out! Kill those L2s!! "
As the military officer roared, the mortar squads finally showed their might, and mortar shells flew towards the L2s.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Following a series of loud explosions, the L2s and the zombies around them were all blasted to smithereens or blown away by the shockwaves.
Above the city walls, all sorts of heavy and heavy firepower were unleashed in a frenzy. Under the terrifying barrage of metal bullets, the huge horde of zombies fell to the ground like wheat being cut by a sickle.
The sound of the city wall could be heard, and the Enhancers from the army also wielded their Tang Replica Swords and charged towards the zombies on top of the city wall, slaughtering them.
Under the consumption of ammunition, the situation that was originally on the verge of collapse was gradually salvaged.
At the East Gate, where Yue Zhong was stationed, there was no way for him to stop the zombies from advancing. Yue Zhong did not give the order to go all out. The huge horde of zombies was also pushed to the bottom of the wall, and the L1s were also thrown up to the top of the wall by the L2s.
"First and second close combat teams, go!" Seeing the L1s being thrown up to the wall by the L2s, Yue Zhong was slightly surprised, but immediately became overjoyed and ordered.
Twenty-four close combat team members wielding Tang Replica Swords and wearing Water Snakeskin Armor came to the top of the wall, and madly slaughtered the L1s that were thrown up.
The L1s that were thrown up often did not have a stable footing, and were killed by the close combat team members. Their levels were as high as Level 10, and they contained rich experience. Every time they killed one, the close combat team members who were below Level 6 would be directly strengthened by one level.
Without the interference of the ordinary zombies, it was extremely easy for the close combat team members who had been strengthened to kill the L1s.
At the East Gate, there were 50 L2s throwing zombies, and the 24 close combat team members were unable to completely kill the zombies that were thrown in.
White Bones' figure flashed, galloping on top of the wall, killing the zombies that had fallen on top of the wall.
"Fifth and sixth close combat teams, go!" Yue Zhong observed for a while, and ordered.
The fifth and sixth close combat teams were recently formed by Yue Zhong, and the average level of each person was only about Level 2. Although they could not compare to the first four teams, they were still the elite of the search team, and were extraordinary brave.
When the fifth and sixth close combat teams joined the battle, it was very easy to clear the zombies that were thrown up on top of the wall. Often when the zombies were thrown up on top of the wall, the nearby team members would rush to kill them. It was like giving experience to Yue Zhong.
"Fortunately these zombies are stupid, otherwise this wave of attack would be dangerous." Yue Zhong looked at the zombies that were constantly thrown up on top of the wall and then killed. He frowned and thought.
If the zombies concentrated their forces and attacked one of the four gates, the 200 L2s would be able to throw more than 200 zombies on top of the wall. In that case, Lei Cheng's troops, which consisted entirely of new recruits, would collapse in one round.
Lei Cheng had a battalion of more than 600 people, but they were divided among the three gates. On average, there were only 200 people assigned to each gate, and they still had to keep some reserve troops. It would be very difficult to resist the continuous stream of zombies.
A very strange situation appeared in Qingyuan County. There was only the sound of gunfire coming from the eastern city gate. The west, north, and south gates had the sound of gunfire, and the artillery fire was fierce.
The firepower of modern firearms was ferocious. Those densely packed zombies were shot down by the metal barrage. Especially those large caliber heavy machine gun bullets, one shot could directly break a person's waist. Those zombies were even more vulnerable.
The zombies' attack was completely suppressed, and the L2s in the north, south, and south were submerged by the artillery fire.
"Cease fire!! Cease fire!! "Xu Zhenggang used the binoculars to observe the situation, and loudly ordered.
With such a high intensity of shooting, not only was the ammunition consumed like water, but the heavy machine gun barrels could not support it.
Under the orders of the officers, the south, south, and north fire stopped. Only the army's sharpshooters continued to fire, blowing up the heads of the zombies below.
The moment the heavy and heavy firepower stopped, those areas that had been plowed through by the metal barrage, a large number of zombies slowly struggled to stand up. Many of the zombies had multiple bullet holes on their bodies, but as long as their heads and spines were not broken, having a few bullet holes on their bodies did not matter.
Of course, many of the zombies were hit by the heavy machine gun bullets and mortar shells. Many of them had broken arms and legs, but it did not affect them much. If it was a human, they would have long since lost their morale, and could no longer fight. Those zombies, on the other hand, had no emotions as they approached the wall.
One by one, the L2s also climbed up from the zombie horde. The mortars had a large area of effect, but their accuracy was not good. Only a dozen or so L2s were directly blown into pieces by the mortars. The rest of the L2s were only blown away by the shockwave, and the shrapnel from the mortars pierced their bodies, but it did not affect their movements at all.
Of course, as long as the ordinary zombies were hit by the shockwave of the mortars, they would basically be blasted into pieces. Only those L2s with tough bodies could survive the shockwave and shrapnel.
The people on the wall looked at the L2s climbing up from the pile of zombies, and their hearts sank. Many of the new soldiers were filled with fear. Even the mortars could not kill these L2s, they really did not know what could.
The moment the L2s stood up, they walked towards the bottom of the wall, and grabbed the ordinary zombies and continued to throw them at the top of the wall.
"Enhancers, go!"
This time, the military was already prepared, and following their orders, the Enhancers under the control of the various factions rushed up to the top of the wall, and began to slaughter the zombies that had been thrown at the top of the wall.
There were over a hundred Enhancers under the control of the military and various factions, and the moment they joined the fray, it was easy for them to slaughter the zombies that had been thrown into the city. Compared to the new soldiers who had not seen blood before, the Enhancers who could become Enhancers had all killed at least 3 zombies before, and were not afraid of the ordinary zombies. Killing those zombies that had been thrown into the wall was even easier.
The L2s were practically giving experience to the Enhancers to level up. The Enhancers only had to pay a small price in terms of stamina to kill the zombies.
The situation that was originally on the verge of collapse slowly calmed down. There were only sporadic gunshots from the 4 gates, and that was the sound of the marksmen sniping at the zombies.
If a single bullet could kill a zombie, then the amount of ammunition stored in the base would be enough to wipe out this horde a few times over. However, in reality, other than the marksmen, the rest of the people would need to use an average of over 20 bullets to kill a zombie. The zombies were densely packed, and hitting the zombies was not a difficult task. However, to land a headshot, that was the real challenge. If the bullets hit the other parts of the zombies, unless the spine was broken, it would not have much effect on the zombies.
Dong Men Yue Zhong also took out a .03 rifle and fired continuously at the zombies. He already had over 3,000 rounds of shooting experience, and his marksmanship was extremely refined. Within a 100m, he was able to kill any zombie with a single shot. One by one, the zombies fell under his gun.
12 marksmen were also distributed on the east wall, calmly and calmly taking aim, and pulling the trigger. Groups of zombies fell under their guns.
Among these 12 marksmen, 7 were veterans that Yue Zhong had persuaded to surrender, and the other 5 were survivors that had shown their talent in shooting during battle and training.
Most of these veterans had participated in the battle to recover Qing Yuan County, and had carried out many dangerous missions. Most of them were very good at fighting. If it wasn't for the fact that they had to operate the IFVs, mortars, and other technical weapons, Yue Zhong could have gotten even more marksmen.
"First shooting team, everyone get down!" Yue Zhong had just killed a zombie with one shot, when suddenly, he saw the L1's in the middle of the zombie horde being lifted up by the H1's. He had a premonition of danger, and immediately roared, and got down on the ground.
When the 12 marksmen heard Yue Zhong's order, although they did not understand, they also got down on the ground.
The next moment, from the mouths of the H1's, more than 20 fireballs exploded on the wall. The fireballs created shallow holes on the wall, and debris splattered everywhere.
The east gate had Yue Zhong's reminder, but at the west, west, and south gates, the H1's bombardment killed 23 marksmen with excellent marksmanship, causing heavy losses to the military.
Just as the H1s were providing cover fire, a Level 20 BOSS Hunter with a long tail and four limbs ran on the ground. Its body was dark brown, and it was nearly two meters long. It was a Level 20 BOSS Hunter that was almost two meters long. It dashed through the horde of zombies and quickly reached the city wall.
At the bottom of the wall, the L2's raised their hands, and the Hunters nimbly climbed onto the L2's body. Stepping on the L2's hands, they jumped up to the top of the wall.
A number of S2's followed behind the Hunters, using the L2's as a ladder, and jumped up to the top of the wall.
As soon as the Hunters landed, White Bones waved its axe, and directly chopped the Hunters that landed beside it in half. Greenie, who had returned to the top of the wall to help defend, pecked the head of a Hunter, and burst it. Yue Zhong also took out his Stinger, and fired three shots at the Hunters, bursting three of their heads.
This time, there were a total of 10 Hunters that jumped up to the top of the wall. Yue Zhong, White Bones, and Greenie killed five of them. The remaining five figures flashed, and rushed towards the people on top of the wall.
The four teams of evolvers under Yue Zhong also bravely rushed towards the Hunters.
Three of the Hunters were like ghosts, and in a few breaths, they rushed into the group of evolvers. With a swipe of their claws, three low-level evolvers were sent flying 7 to 8 meters, and fell to the ground. They spat out a mouthful of blood, and their bones were severely injured.
Two of the Hunters stuck out their tongues, and like arrows released from a bow, they pierced through the brains of two evolvers, killing them instantly.
Yue Zhong's team of 48 evolvers wearing the Mutant Water Snakeskin Armour suffered casualties for the first time.
At the same time, a number of S2's jumped down from the top of the wall, and engaged in a fierce battle with Yue Zhong, White Bones, and Greenie. Yue Zhong was unable to kill the Hunters that had rushed into the group of evolvers.
"Damn!" Yue Zhong instantly activated his Shadow Steps skill, and his speed increased to nearly 10 times that of a normal person. He was like a ghost waving the Tang Sword in his hand, and easily beheaded the S2's.
Not long after, 3 S2's were beheaded by Yue Zhong. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
