Zhang Bao looked at the 4 Type 69 Main Battle Tanks, and his face turned pale, "Tanks!!! They actually have tanks!! How did they get such things!! "
Tanks were the kings of modern warfare. As long as they hit their mark, an Evolver like Zhang Bao would be blasted to smithereens. With the 2 battalions of Ning Guang County, a single charge from those 4 Type 69 Main Battle Tanks would be enough to crush them, leaving only a massacre.
"Brother Bao! Let's quickly escape!! If we stay here, we will all become Yue Zhong's captives!! "Niu Sheng came to Zhang Bao's side, his face pale. He could already see that in front of them, there were a number of military vehicles mounted with machine guns making their way towards them. It was Yue Zhong's main forces rushing over.
If Yue Zhong's main forces were to rush over, none of them would be able to escape.
Zhang Bao looked at the approaching military vehicles and tanks, and was extremely clear that with their current strength, they would not be able to stop Yue Zhong's army. Hence, he gritted his teeth and made a quick decision, abandoning the 2 battalions and escaping into the wilderness with Niu Sheng.
With the escape of Zhang Bao and Niu Sheng, the originally dispirited Ning Guang County soldiers no longer had a shred of will to fight, and they all ran for their lives.
"Throw down your weapons, surrender, and we won't kill you!! Surrender, and we won't kill you!! "
Yue Zhong's troops surrounded them, and captured most of the Ning Guang County soldiers. A small portion of the Ning Guang County soldiers were lucky enough to escape the pursuit of Yue Zhong's troops.
This time, due to the outstanding performance of Guo Quan's squad, Yue Zhong's troops had only paid the price of 5 deaths, killing 98 enemies, and capturing 687 of them. They had even killed an Agility-based Evolver, and obtained 2 companies' worth of equipment and a large number of vehicles.
"Commander! What do you need from me? " Liu Erhei came up to Yue Zhong with a face full of excitement. Just now, he had led his troops to chase down the Ning Guang County soldiers like they were ducks.
Yue Zhong ordered in a low voice, "Bring some men and bring the captives back to town. I will be leading the troops to attack Ning Guang County. Before I return, you must defend Mahogany Town! As long as you cooperate with Chen Ming to defend Mahogany Town, it will be a great merit! "
Liu Erhei's greatest strength was his obedience, "Yes! Commander! "
Yue Zhong lightly nodded his head, before bringing along Zhang Niujiang and Xiong Zheng, the two main forces who were armed to the teeth, to drive 4 Type 69 tanks and a large number of military vehicles, fully loaded with ammunition as they sped towards Ning Guang County.
In this post-apocalyptic world, the weak could only be swallowed up by the strong. The 2 battalions from Ning Guang County had attacked Yue Zhong's troops, and it was evident that their training was lacking, their morale was low, their fighting spirit was not strong, and their equipment was lacking. Naturally, Yue Zhong would not let go of this fat piece of meat.
Just like when Yue Zhong's Clear Wind Camp was weak, Ning Guang County wanted to swallow up half of Yue Zhong's territory. Yue Zhong also wanted to make use of this opportunity to conquer Ning Guang County. As long as he could obtain Ning Guang County's rations and population, Yue Zhong's troops would be able to advance by leaps and bounds.
Ning Guang County did not have a city wall like Qing Yuan County. However, in order to defend against possible attacks from zombies and mutated beasts, huge wooden fences were built and placed on the main roads leading to the county.
At the same time, Ning Guang County also deployed soldiers to guard and investigate on the main road leading to the county.
One of the soldiers from Ning Guang County was carrying a .03 rifle, yawning from time to time as he scanned the road in the distance. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he shouted loudly, "Enemy attack! The enemy's convoy is approaching!! "
The other 7 soldiers who were guarding the main road immediately stood up and looked into the distance. With this one look, their faces became incomparably pale, "Tanks!! There are actually tanks!! "
In the distance, four tanks were advancing towards them like steel beasts that were ready to devour people. Behind the 4 tanks, there were a number of military vehicles equipped with heavy machine guns.
Just as the 8 soldiers were considering whether or not to flee, a young man holding a white flag walked up to the 8 soldiers and spoke in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "I'm Xu Feng, an envoy sent by Yue Zhong from Mahogany Town. I want to see your highest ranking officer, Tao Zhengyi."
Inside the meeting hall of Ning Guang County, Tao Zhengyi's face was ashen as he stared at Xu Feng and Yue Zhong, who was standing beside him as his bodyguard, coldly saying, "What do you have to say? Speak!"
Xu Feng and Yue Zhong had already been searched, and there were no weapons on them. Tao Zhengyi had also deployed another 11 Enhancers to protect them, not the slightest bit worried about his own safety.
Xu Feng immediately spoke in a domineering manner, "President Tao, the 2 battalions that you sent to attack Mahogany Town have already been wiped out by us. This time, we have brought our troops here in hopes that you will surrender to us unconditionally. In exchange, we will preserve your personal belongings and ensure the safety of your family. If you force us to use force, I'm afraid that you and your family's belongings and safety will not be guaranteed. "
Tao Zhengyi's squinted eyes opened wide, and a glint flashed in his eyes as he retorted coldly, "Are you threatening me? My Ning Guang County has a population of 15,000, and over 4,000 soldiers. There's also a battalion's worth of equipment. If you dare to attack Mahogany Town, my 4,000 soldiers are not to be trifled with. "
"However, this time, it is indeed our side's fault. It is indeed my side's fault. I am willing to take out three thousand tons of food, twenty beautiful virgins, one ton of fuel, and three hundred pounds of gold as compensation to make up for your side's losses. "After Tao Zhengyi showed his muscles, he immediately admitted defeat.
Ning Guang County had 5 main battalions of soldiers, and another battalion that was responsible for law and order. The total number of soldiers was about 3,000. The 4,000 soldiers that Tao Zhengyi had mentioned was just an exaggeration to raise his own value. Having a large number of soldiers did not mean that they were strong. Out of the 5 battalions, two had already been wiped out by Yue Zhong. As for the remaining 4 battalions, the majority of the soldiers in charge of law and order were armed with cold weapons. Fighting with Yue Zhong was undoubtedly suicide. As for the remaining 3 battalions, only 3 companies were equipped with proper military equipment, but they lacked heavy weaponry.
Ning Guang County did have 2 IFVs as their trump cards. However, Ning Guang County was the same as Yue Zhong; they both lacked professional soldiers who could operate the IFVs. Therefore, when faced with Xu Feng's pressure, Tao Zhengyi flexed his muscles, and quickly admitted defeat. He hoped to resolve the issue between him and Yue Zhong through negotiation.
The 4 Type 69 tanks outside Ning Guang County also gave Tao Zhengyi a huge amount of pressure. Tanks were known as the King of Land Warfare.
Yue Zhong glanced at Tao Zhengyi, and immediately activated his [Art of Fear]. A terrifying Spirit pressure spread out in all directions with him as the center.
Caught off guard, with Yue Zhong at the center, everyone was enveloped by the [Art of Fear]. Xu Feng and Tao Zhengyi, who were ordinary people, immediately fainted from the fear. Of the 11 Enhancers that Tao Zhengyi had brought over, 7 of them fainted immediately, and 3 of them clutched their heads in pain.
Only the strongest Evolver, Tie Ya, remained conscious despite having a splitting headache. His eyes flashed with incomparable shock as he stared at Yue Zhong and exclaimed, "Evolver!!"
Yue Zhong glanced at Tie Ya, and coldly said, "You're also an Evolver! Surrender, or die here! "
"Go to hell!!" Tie Ya bit the tip of his tongue, and his eyes flashed with a scarlet red light. With a wave of his hands, numerous blades of air shot towards Yue Zhong.
Tie Ya was a Spirit-based Evolver. He had the Level 3 Skill [Air Manipulation], which had been enhanced twice, and its might was terrifying. The incomparably sharp blades of air could even slice a gun in two. Furthermore, the blades of air were invisible, making it hard to defend against.
"It's useless! You're too weak! " Yue Zhong activated his [Shadow Steps], and with a flash of his body, he easily dodged Tie Ya's blades of air. He appeared behind Tie Ya, grabbed his head, and twisted it forcefully, breaking Tie Ya's neck.
Yue Zhong then poured a cup of drink on Tao Zhengyi's fat face, waking him up.
Yue Zhong took out a gun and pressed it against Tao Zhengyi's forehead, and with a thick killing intent, he said, "Do you surrender now? Or do you want me to chop off your head, and use it to kill your subordinates? Do you want to try, and see how many people will fight for you to the death after you die? "
Yue Zhong had taken the risk to enter Ning Guang County for Tao Zhengyi alone. If Tao Zhengyi was willing to surrender, then so be it. If Tao Zhengyi was unwilling to surrender, then after killing him, there would be no one to rely on, and attacking Ning Guang County would be easier.
Tao Zhengyi felt the gun pressed against his forehead, and looked at the fallen Enhancers and the dead Tie Ya. He laughed bitterly and said, "I admit defeat. I surrender, please spare my life. "
Tao Zhengyi was not a brave warrior, and compared to death, he would rather live on.
Tao Zhengyi asked carefully, "May I ask who you are?"
Tao Zhengyi's foresight was not bad, and he could already tell that Yue Zhong was not ordinary, and could vaguely guess his identity. In the entire Clear Wind Camp, the only person who could so easily kill an Evolver like Tie Ya was Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong looked at Tao Zhengyi and said indifferently, "I'm Yue Zhong."
Tao Zhengyi laughed bitterly, he did not expect that he would actually let a big shark in. He also did not expect that Yue Zhong, the backbone of Clear Wind Camp, would actually dare to impersonate an envoy from the enemy camp.
With Tao Zhengyi's cooperation, Yue Zhong's troops successfully entered Ning Guang County, and occupied the various strategic locations. At the same time, they disarmed the 4 battalions, and gathered them to watch over them.
The survivors of Ning Guang County looked on indifferently.
Although Ning Guang County had a granary with 80,000 tonnes of food, Tao Zhengyi was like any other ruler. However, Tao Zhengyi was like any other ruler, he would only provide sufficient food to his subordinates. As for the ordinary survivors, Tao Zhengyi would only ensure that they would not starve to death. After all, there was no way to continue with the production of food, and the more they ate, the less they would eat. For the sake of the future, Tao Zhengyi naturally did not want to deplete his rations too quickly. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me.
