After the huge horde defeated Hu-er Ran's pursuers, they slowly retreated.
Seeing this, the rest of the troops were wary of the horde, and did not dare to pursue too deeply. Lie Ming Yi also reined in his strength, as he coordinated with the motorized infantry of the 1st Regiment to pursue. With the support of the assault helicopters in the air, they continued to wipe out the horde.
Mature Devourers and S4s were considered to be one of the top few in the zombie horde. After the large-headed zombie had organized a counterattack, it did not make a move, allowing Lie Ming Yi and the rest to kill the ordinary zombies.
As they were giving chase, all of a sudden, a horde of 20,000 L2s and S2s charged out, splitting into 4 groups to surround Lie Ming Yi's troops.
The moment the 20,000 evolved zombies moved, Lie Ming Yi and the rest felt the pressure, and they had no choice but to retreat, at the same time, send troops to wipe them out. If they did not wipe out the 20,000 evolved zombies, their path of retreat would be cut off, and they would be faced with enemies on both sides.
The strength of the horde was simply too much, and Lie Ming Yi's troops were too weak compared to the horde. If they were not careful, they would be in danger of being wiped out.
Without the support of fortifications, traps, weapons and equipment, 50,000 evolved zombies could easily wipe out Yue Zhong's Central Plains Army. Humans were not a match for the evolved zombies.
"That zombie is learning!!!" Yue Zhong looked at the horde of zombies that had split up to attack Lie Ming Yi's troops and frowned.
Yue Zhong was experienced in dealing with the Z1s and Z2s. The Z-Type evolved zombies were just a combination of the scattered zombies. When it came to using the zombies, they only knew how to charge forward and use their numbers to crush the enemy. There was basically no strategy at all. Just based on their numbers alone, the horde was already terrifying. The moment they learned the tactics of humans, they would be more than 10 times stronger than before.
The moment the horde split into 4 groups, it would be extremely difficult to wipe them out. Lie Ming Yi led the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, as well as the 1st Regiment of the 1st Regiment, with 20 tanks as the core, to engage the 20,000 zombies for 4 hours. After paying the price of 20 soldiers, they finally managed to wipe out the 20,000 zombies.
By the time Lie Ming Yi led his troops to wipe out the 20,000 evolved zombies, the sky had already turned dark, and the troops could no longer pursue the horde.
At night, the fighting strength of the human army would be greatly reduced, but the fighting strength of the zombies would be greatly increased.
The retreat of the large horde allowed the defenders to heave a sigh of relief, and cheers could be heard everywhere. Although they did not manage to wipe out the 4 million zombies, after a month of bloody battles, they managed to wipe out 2 million zombies. This was enough to make them feel proud.
Hu-er Ran came up to him with a complicated gaze, "Many thanks, Leader!!"
In today's battle, if Yue Zhong did not give the order to save Hu-er Ran, even if Hu-er Ran could rely on his peak Evolver strength to kill his way out of the horde, the 3,000 soldiers under him would definitely be wiped out.
Yue Zhong eyed Hu-er Ran indifferently, "No need to thank me! Since you are my subordinate, you will fight for me on the battlefield. I will definitely not abandon you. However, if you have any ulterior motives, don't blame me for being merciless! "
Hu-er Ran was the founder of the Central Plains Empire, and was definitely an ambitious fellow. However, his abilities were outstanding as well. Yue Zhong did not have a single general who could suppress the Mongolians like Hu-er Ran, to the point where Yue Zhong could make use of them. If Yue Zhong wanted to expand his forces, and wipe out as many zombies as possible, he could only rely on him.
Hu-er Ran chuckled bitterly, "Yes! Hu-er Ran will remember Leader's teachings! "
After the horde retreated, they regrouped and continued to make their way towards Bao Xi City.
Yue Zhong's troops used the tanks of the 1st Regiment as the core, while Lie Ming Yi's 2nd Brigade and Hu-er Ran's 3rd Brigade took turns to attack the horde.
The 30 assault helicopters continued to launch incendiary bombs into the horde, incinerating a large number of zombies into ashes.
Due to the lack of heavy firepower, Lie Ming Yi and the rest were wary of the evolved zombies amidst the horde. Even after chasing all the way to Bao Xi City, they had only managed to wipe out 400,000 zombies.
After the horde retreated to Bao Xi City, they did not stop and continued to move towards the north.
After such a long period of pursuit, Yue Zhong's fuel and ammunition had been depleted. Although the munitions factory had been churning out more incendiary bombs, it was still not enough. Under such circumstances, Yue Zhong could only stop chasing after the horde.
Zhuo Ya Tong, who was dressed in a tight-fitting military uniform, carried a stack of documents and reported to Yue Zhong, "Bayan City has been reclaimed. In the process, the Scum Battalion had lost 120 people, the 1st Regiment had lost 6, the 2nd Brigade had lost 7, and the 3rd Brigade had lost 13. We've found some firearms in Bayan City …. "
The moment the horde retreated from Bayan City, Yue Zhong immediately sent his troops to occupy the city, and cleared out the remaining zombies.
Most of the zombies in Bayan City had been recruited by the Big-headed Zombie, but there were still a few that remained, trapped within the various facilities. Cleaning up the facilities was a dangerous job, and from time to time, there would be deaths at the mouths of the zombies.
Zhuo Ya Tong closed the documents in her hands and stared at Yue Zhong, "Currently, we've received intelligence from the frontlines. Bao Xi City has been conquered by our troops, and we should be able to reclaim it within a week."
When Yue Zhong heard this, he closed his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. Bayan City and Bao Xi City were the 2 largest cities in the Central Plains, and there were many factories within. As long as he could gain control of these 2 cities, as long as there were enough workers, he would be able to produce large amounts of firearms.
The Big-headed Zombie had evolved to a human-like level of intelligence, but it did not understand the importance of cities to humans.
The moment Bayan and Bao Xi City fell into Yue Zhong's hands, it would only take a short period of time for them to convert their productivity into combat strength, and produce large amounts of firearms. With sufficient firearms, Yue Zhong would be able to wipe out the zombies in large numbers.
This time, the reason why Yue Zhong could wipe out over 2 million zombies, other than the bravery of his soldiers, the main reason was that he had a large number of firearms. Otherwise, without the incendiary bombs and fuel, the tanks and helicopters would be useless. After such a huge battle, the consumption of his ammunition was huge.
It was especially so for the consumption of fuel, it had almost depleted the entire reserve of fuel that he had obtained from the Ulan Mountain Range Field Combat Regiment. He could not continue his pursuit of the zombies, and could only watch as the horde moved towards the north.
Yue Zhong knew that the horde was a huge threat, but he did not have the strength to deal with it at the moment.
By now, it had been a year since the world changed, and although he had conquered Bayan and Bao Xi City, he had not received any notifications of leveling up. This was because the time limit of the mission had passed, and such a mission no longer appeared in the system. It was obvious that he could only reclaim the cities within the first year.
Yue Zhong was clear that as long as he had a little more time, his faction would undergo a huge change, and he would gain a powerful combat strength. Only then did he open his eyes and look at Zhuo Ya Tong beside him.
Zhuo Ya Tong was dressed in a well-ironed military uniform that accentuated her sexy and perfect figure, making her look like a ripe peach, exuding an alluring scent.
Zhuo Ya Tong felt Yue Zhong's heated gaze, and her face flushed slightly, at the same time, she felt a sense of pride. A warm atmosphere began to spread throughout the room.
Right at this time, an officer came to the door and broke the atmosphere, "Reporting!!"
Yue Zhong eyed the officer and spoke solemnly, "Come in!"
"What's the matter?"
The officer said in a deep voice, "Leader! Our drones have detected a 30,000-strong Mongolian army advancing towards us. "
Yue Zhong's face fell as he stood up, "Hu-er Ran is rebelling?"
Hu-er Ran's prestige was high amongst the Mongolians. If he were to rebel now, Yue Zhong would have no choice but to come up with a plan to wipe them out. The Mongolian soldiers of the 3rd Brigade were all brave warriors, Yue Zhong did not want to personally wipe them out.
The officer quickly explained, "No!! Leader! It's not Hu-er Ran. It's the Mongolians from Outer Mongolia who are attacking us. "
Yue Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, before swiftly making his way towards the command center.
"Leader!!"
"..."
The moment Yue Zhong entered the command center, the various officers immediately saluted him.
Yue Zhong looked at one of the screens, only to see 30,000 troops making their way towards Bayan City from the Outer Mongolia side.
The 30,000-strong army had brought along a large number of cattle and sheep as food. Most of the soldiers were riding horses. A number of tanks and armored vehicles were moving towards them. In the sky, there were a number of Eurocopters, among which were Russian-made MI24 assault helicopters.
"Kingdom of God!! Damn bastards! " Yue Zhong looked at the images taken by the drones and his eyes flashed with a cold glint. He clenched his fists, his heart filled with rage.
Before the apocalypse, Outer Mongolia wasn't that strong. Their military might was also weak, with only a few assault helicopters. Now that they had over a hundred, it was obvious that they had the support of outsiders. The only faction that had such power was the Kingdom of God. (To be continued.
