The moment the order was given, the 3 troops immediately rushed to the frontlines.
"So many zombies!!" Lie Ming Yi rode a Black Stallion and led 3,000 riders, quickly finding the main force of the zombies. Seeing the horde of 4 million zombies, his face fell.
A million zombies was already an endless horde, the moment they moved, they were like a real ocean, capable of crushing any form of resistance.
No matter what kind of expert one was, charging into a horde of zombies alone would only lead to death.
Against such a huge horde, a soldier with accurate marksmanship could contribute more than an Enhancer.
Lie Ming Yi looked at the horde and pointed his saber, ordering, "Attack!!"
The 3,000 cavalrymen swiftly pulled out their rifles and fired at the sea of zombies.
The dense hail of bullets caused large patches of zombies to fall to the ground.
However, the horde was unstoppable, and they began to surround Lie Ming Yi's troops from all directions.
"Retreat!" After a few rounds of firing, Lie Ming Yi waved his hands and roared out as he led the 3,000 riders to retreat.
After retreating a large distance, the 2nd Cavalry Brigade relied on their superior speed to pull away from the horde of zombies. They then turned around and continued to fire at the horde, causing their heads to explode as they fell to the ground.
Lie Ming Yi's 2nd Cavalry Brigade had replenished their ranks with 300 Enhancers who had changed to become soldiers. These Enhancers were specially trained by Yue Zhong to reach Level 30, and their Firearms Proficiency had reached Level 3. Even if they were on horseback, they could still blast the heads of the zombies.
Under Lie Ming Yi's relentless firing, a large number of zombies were taken out by him, and as the zombies fell to the ground, there was not a single casualty.
On the other side, the 1st Regiment's 1st Armored Battalion had also brought 20 tanks, 20 IFVs, and 60 machine gun-mounted vehicles to launch an assault on the horde. The dense hail of bullets rained down on the horde, causing countless zombies to be blasted into pieces. Of course, this armored battalion was also expending a large amount of ammunition.
Of course, in front of the horde, the 1st Armored Battalion had no choice but to retreat. Within the horde, there were still Devourers, L3s, L4s, and other terrifying existences. The moment the tanks charged into the horde, there was a possibility of them being destroyed by the evolved zombies.
Every tank and armored vehicle was a great weapon against the zombie hordes. Naturally, they could not afford to lose them. Yue Zhong's current industrial system was not enough to support the construction of tanks and armored vehicles.
"What a huge horde!!" Hu-er Ran led the 3,000 Grey Wolf Riders to the frontlines, and when he saw the horde of 4 million zombies, his face fell.
Hu-er Ran turned around and saw that every one of the 3,000 Grey Wolf Riders had a rifle in their hands, and he heaved a sigh of relief. If they did not have their rifles, the 3,000 of them would have been swallowed up by the sea of corpses. It was impossible for them to resist the attacks of the zombies.
With such a terrifying horde, Yue Zhong had to squeeze every last ounce of strength he had to deal with them. He could not be bothered with Hu-er Ran's suspicions and wariness, and used his firepower to arm the 3rd Brigade. However, the 1st Regiment and 2nd Brigade were equipped with the most advanced weapons, while the 3rd Brigade was equipped with some old Type-56 and Type-81 Rifles. At the same time, Yue Zhong had also given some of the older weapons to Hu-er Ran.
Although the 3rd Brigade had changed their weapons, there were still a few different types of guns, and most of them were from Europe or the Soviet Union.
Lian Da Zhong looked at the horde and spoke with a pale face, "Let's fight casually, and then retreat!"
The huge horde scared Lian Da Zhong to death. He was originally a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. Seeing such a terrifying horde, he could not even muster the will to fight.
Hu-er Ran's eyes flashed with a strange glint, "No! This battle concerns the survival of my 3rd Brigade! We must fight well! "
Hu-er Ran was clear that Yue Zhong had kept him alive because he was useful. The moment he failed to prove his worth, he would be exiled to Vietnam, never to return to the Central Plains. The 3rd Brigade, which was made up of Mongolians, would also be reorganized.
Currently, the entire Central Plains was under Yue Zhong's control, and Hu-er Ran had no way of resisting. A single order from Yue Zhong could send him to his death. Unless he was willing to abandon his subordinates, family and people and flee to the North.
Hu-er Ran swept his gaze across the soldiers and raised his silver curved blade, "3rd Brigade, victory!!"
"3rd Brigade, victory!!"
"3rd Brigade, victory!!"
"..."
The soldiers of the 3rd Brigade looked at Hu-er Ran as they raised their weapons and roared out. They were all loyal to Hu-er Ran, and were the elites of the Central Plains.
"3rd Brigade, charge!! Attack!! "Hu-er Ran pointed his silver curved blade at the horde as he roared out.
Under Hu-er Ran's lead, the 3,000 riders charged towards the horde. They shot out like arrows, reaching a distance of about 100m away from the horde, before pulling out their rifles, bows and arrows to fire at the horde.
Countless bullets and arrows pierced through the horde, piercing through a large number of zombies. Those that fell to the ground would be trampled by the rest of the horde.
When the horde advanced, Hu-er Ran's troops could only rely on the Black Stallions' agility to pull back, before continuing to attack.
The three squads continued to attack the huge horde of zombies on the prairie. A large number of zombies were constantly being killed by the three squads, but compared to the huge number of zombies, it was not worth mentioning. The huge horde of zombies was still moving towards their target.
Amidst the horde, within the body of one of the L4s, the Mutant Zombie with a huge head and a mouth full of tentacles watched coldly as the horde was slaughtered one after another.
Amidst the horde, a number of Devourers emitting terrifying auras were devouring the zombies that had been killed by Yue Zhong's troops.
The horde of over 4 million zombies was too terrifying, and the 3 troops had fought for 4 days, wiping out over 60,000 zombies, but they had no choice but to retreat to rest. Humans had limited stamina, and fighting for a long period of time was taxing on their stamina and energy.
Although over 600,000 zombies had been killed, their speed was not slow, and they entered Bayan City without delay.
After entering Bayan City, the horde continued to advance towards Yinzhou City.
"Are they going to converge with the zombies in Yinzhou City?" Yue Zhong saw the horde moving towards Yinzhou City through the unmanned drones, and his heart was filled with suspicion.
Yinzhou City was a large city in the Central Plains, with a population of over 2 million before the apocalypse. If the 3 million zombies were to converge with the 2 million zombies in Yinzhou City, it would form a horde of over 5 million zombies.
The 3 troops that Yue Zhong had sent out had expended a large amount of energy and ammunition to kill over 600,000 zombies, most of which were ordinary zombies. If the 3 million zombies were to converge with the horde in Yinzhou City, it would become an invincible horde.
"No! We cannot let these 2 horde converge!! " Yue Zhong watched the movements of the 3 million zombies, and his eyes flashed with a solemn look, as he gave a flurry of orders.
Under Yue Zhong's orders, the 1st Regiment stationed at Mu Yuan County sent out a motorized infantry unit to launch an assault on the horde.
The Mongolian soldiers of the 2nd Brigade who were proficient in horsemanship were also deployed to the frontlines, and were given guns, allowing them to use their riding skills to attack the horde.
Under the relentless assault, the zombies were constantly being wiped out. At the same time, the horde would retaliate from time to time, and under the attacks of the evolved zombies, there would be soldiers falling from time to time.
Even though Yue Zhong had sent out a large number of troops to deal with the horde, the horde continued to push forward.
Ning Yue Gorge was the main route from Bayan City to Yinzhou City, and Yue Zhong had deployed a brigade of the 1st Regiment as well as Hu-er Ran's 3rd Brigade here.
Yue Zhong had already organized his troops to resist, and had wiped out a large number of zombies, but the horde was still advancing towards Yinzhou City. Ning Yue Gorge was the main route from Bayan City to Yinzhou City, the moment the horde passed through, the zombies in the surrounding counties would become a supplement for the horde.
Yue Zhong was clear that although his troops had relied on their firepower to wipe out a million zombies, the majority of them were ordinary zombies. The true evolved zombies had not been wiped out. He was not willing to see the 3 million zombies converge with the 2 million zombies in Yinzhou City.
Yue Zhong's troops had no way to retreat, the moment they gave up on Ning Yue Gorge, then the 3 million zombies would converge with the 2 million zombies in Yinzhou City. His troops had expended a huge amount of manpower and resources to wipe out a million zombies, and the meaning of that would be greatly diminished.
Outside Ning Yue Gorge, 30,000 survivors were using all sorts of tools to set up traps, and it looked like countless ants were moving about.
"They're here!!" Li Guang stood on a high ground, his eyes flashing with a strange glint.
From afar, there were a number of black dots moving towards them like ants, and as time passed, the survivors could see the dense horde of zombies moving towards them.
Seeing the zombies without eyeballs, their bodies rotting, and emitting a putrid stench, the survivors felt a chill in their hearts, and began to panic. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
