The Dragon Emperor's caution was by no means unnecessary.
In fact, when the army really launched an attack and gradually advanced to the vicinity of the crater, the Dragon Emperor clearly felt that his caution was necessary.
Because his army was blocked.
The Dragon Emperor was not surprised that the army was blocked. He knew clearly that under the huge crater in front of him was the enemy's lair, and it was normal for him to have defense and resistance.
But originally the Dragon Emperor thought that with his own army, he should easily conquer all of this, but he did not expect that his army did not break through as easily as he thought.
Those zombies kept pouring out from all corners, blocking the way of the army, forcing the Dragon Emperor's army to fight fiercely with them.
Originally, to the Dragon Emperor's army, ordinary zombies were nothing more than beings that could be hacked to death with a single knife.
After all, these are the elites of the Qin army who are fighting in the six kingdoms. They are by no means ordinary soldiers. A group of zombies with only instincts are no match for these elite Qin troops who are dressed in razor-sharp armor.
It's just that there are too many of these guys, and in addition to these ordinary zombies, those mutated zombies that spit out chrysanthemums, and all kinds of weird biochemical weapons produced by the Umbrella Company also appeared in front of the army.
A licker had just climbed up a building, and a long tongue popped out of its mouth, hitting a Qin soldier. When he was about to pull him back, the Qin soldier turned the Changge in his hand without hesitation.
He inserted it directly into the ground to stabilize his body.
Another soldier on the side did not hesitate to slash the Changge in his hand at the long tongue, directly cutting off the licker's tongue.
But this is meaningless to the licker. After the severed tongue is retracted, it quickly completes regeneration.
As for the two Qin soldiers who cut off the tongues of the lickers, they were besieged by at least a dozen zombies.
Although the Qin army has become immortal, neither ordinary zombies nor biochemical weapons have the ability to completely kill the Qin army soldiers.
But this does not mean that they cannot repel the Qin army's attack. Even a simple accumulation of numbers is enough for the Qin army to cope with it.
After all, although the Dragon Emperor's army possesses immortality, in essence, what they possess is only the level and combat power that ordinary humans can achieve. They do not have the extraordinary combat power that can dominate the battlefield like the tyrant Titans in Chen Mo's hands.
force.
Although the Dragon Emperor has used the Five Elements Spell to strengthen his army and improve their combat effectiveness, this still does not allow them to transcend the limits of mortals.
Especially since they are still made of flesh and blood. Although their immortality makes them immortal, this still cannot cover up the disadvantages brought about by their flesh and blood.
If it were Chen Mo's undead army here, then it would definitely be these zombies that would be slaughtered to death in the end, and the ending would even be a one-sided massacre.
Chen Mo's army does not lack war machines that can knock down the entire battlefield with one hammer, and it also does not lack powerful combat units that can defeat an entire army.
This also resulted in that as the army advanced, they had to repeatedly fight and fight with the zombies in alleys and alleys.
Of course there would be no problem if there were only ordinary zombies. The elite Qin army that even the six countries could not resist was far beyond what these zombies with only instincts could resist.
However, the mutated zombies in the zombie swarm, the parasites that have grown to the adult stage, the lickers crawling on the walls, and various other biochemical weapons all have combat capabilities far beyond those of ordinary people.
Although they cannot kill the soldiers of the Qin army, they can easily resist their attacks and even defeat their defenses, forcing them to retreat and reorganize their formation.
The soldiers of the Qin Army were not afraid of fighting to the death. After they obtained immortality, they became even more terrifying in this regard. Even if they were cut in two, they could still kill the enemy bravely, but this did not give the soldiers of the Qin Army the ability to resist.
Attack by biological weapons such as Lickers.
Especially things like zombie dogs. Although there is no direct harm to these undead Qin soldiers if they are thrown directly in the face, being blocked from sight can be very fatal on the battlefield.
The Dragon Emperor looked very ugly as he watched the soldiers under his command being pushed down and bitten by the zombies behind him because a dog jumped on his face.
As an emperor who leads troops in battles, the Dragon Emperor has not been defeated before, but this is the first time the Dragon Emperor has experienced a battle like this.
The last time he faced off against Chen Mo's army, although he was also suppressed by quality and was evenly pushed in the end, Dragon Emperor was convinced that Chen Mo's army had lost.
However, these were just living corpses in front of them, but they simply relied on their numbers and some powerful individuals mixed in to crush their own army in a way that had no rules or tactics at all.
This was unacceptable to the Dragon Emperor no matter what.
But as a general in command, you must not let your emotions affect your judgment no matter what situation you face.
Therefore, the Dragon Emperor quickly calmed down, and while mobilizing his reserve forces to withstand the attack, he also continuously pulled down the defeated troops to regroup.
While doing this, the Dragon Emperor was also constantly pulling back the army's formation.
He has seen that the terrain in the city is not suitable for the deployment of large armies. Facing powerful individuals mixed in the zombie swarms, it will undoubtedly be very disadvantageous if the army cannot spread out its forces to take advantage of the army.
At this time, due to the terrain, the army's formation had been somewhat fragmented, and it could no longer take advantage of the formation's advantages.
Therefore, the Dragon Emperor had to consider withdrawing his troops and letting the army retreat outside the city before re-arranging their formation to fight.
This is certainly not a problem for the Dragon Emperor and the elite Qin army he brought out. They alternately cover the retreat and retreat without chaos. This is like a behavior carved into their instincts for the Qin army. The army will not break.
He carried out the Dragon Emperor's will to the letter.
It's just that the Qin army wants to retreat, but these zombies with no logic or intelligence can't let them easily withdraw from the battlefield.
These living corpses with only appetite left in their minds continued to attack the Qin army. They were like a piece of dog skin plaster that could not be torn off after being stained. They stuck to the Qin army and prevented them from getting out of the battle.
If the Qin army was not afraid of casualties and had good cooperation to alternately cover their retreat, they might not be able to retreat in front of zombies.
But even so, they were still held back by the zombies, and the Dragon Emperor had to use magic to get the army out of the battle.
