This sudden flare disrupted Chen Feilong's deployment.
According to his plan, the zombies rushed under the city wall at night and soon built a pile of corpses leading to the city wall.
As long as the pile of corpses reaches the top of the city wall, the zombies behind will swarm up and completely submerge Light Chaser City.
The core premise of this plan is that the light-chasing army cannot see the zombies.
The zombies were also rushing over in a very crowded manner at this moment, and they were piled up densely, which gave the light-chasing army a very good shooting opportunity.
Sure enough, after the illumination bomb took off, a new round of shooting by the Light Chaser Army began.
Unlike the last time when only the rifles fired at a distance of 500 meters, this time, all the waiting machine guns started firing.
This caused Chen Feilong's corpse group to suffer a heavy blow at once.
But at this moment, it was impossible to retreat. The huge group of corpses were crowded together. It was impossible for him to react immediately when he issued the order again. The only way was to bravely rush forward.
Although the light-chasing army's firepower was very strong and destroyed countless zombies, there were simply too many charging zombies in this wave.
The light-chasing army was firing on all cylinders, but it was just trying to prevent the zombies from crossing the 50-meter red line. The two sides were in a stalemate.
But at this time, there was a sudden change on the zombie side.
About four thousand armored zombies went into battle!
According to the laws of zombie evolution, the initial height of armored zombies is two meters.
Between two and three meters, they are all armored zombies, and if they exceed three meters, they are gorilla zombies.
This group of armored men are all at least 2.2 meters tall, and some of the taller ones are about 2.56 meters tall. Their level of evolution is already extraordinary.
These zombies were forcibly ordered by Chen Feilong to bend down and follow the charge of ordinary zombies.
Originally there were five thousand of these zombies, but after the previous round of shelling and machine gun fire, there were still about four thousand.
Now that the cannon fodder zombies in front have attracted a lot of firepower, Iron Armor appears as the main force.
I saw these armored men standing up suddenly, using their thick arms to protect the vital parts of their heads, and like a black city wall, they rushed towards the Light-Chasing City.
Dang Dang Dang Dang~~~!
Countless bullets hit the armored body, and they no longer had the same devastating effect as hitting ordinary zombies.
As long as the vital parts of the head are not hit, it doesn't matter if the body is penetrated. This kind of zombie is difficult to be broken up by heavy machine guns.
Although during the shooting, some armored men were still hit on the head and fell down continuously, the situation had changed.
Under the leadership of Tie Jia, the corpse group quickly moved forward.
Light Chaser City's helicopters took off again, firing down from the air with heavy machine guns and coordinating with the defenders on the city wall to kill the armored men.
The snipers in the guard tower also gave up on killing ordinary zombies and focused on killing armored ones instead.
Thirty meters!
Twenty meters!
Armored zombies continued to fall down, and their numbers began to decrease sharply.
The number quickly dropped from four thousand to less than two thousand.
When they were ten meters close to the city wall, the grenade of the Light Chaser Army was thrown down.
These armored men suddenly straightened up, using their bodies to help the zombies behind them withstand the frontal impact of the grenades.
Under fire from grenades and machine guns, not much of the armor was left.
But behind them, a large number of zombies surged forward and rushed to the edge of the city wall.
The scene after that became somewhat unstoppable. The zombies huffed and puffed forward. No matter how bullets poured down from the city wall, they had to die under the city wall, offering their bodies to build the pile of corpses.
After more than half an hour of bloody battle, one hundred thousand zombies, under the cover of the armored zombies, finally approached the gates of Light-Chasing City at the cost of more than 40,000 casualties.
Seeing the zombies finally approaching the city wall, Chen Feilong in the distance was overjoyed.
Although Tang Zheng's arrangement disrupted his plan, and these 100,000 zombies alone could no longer break through the city wall, he didn't care because he still had many zombies.
With a wave of his hand, one hundred thousand zombies continued to follow!
Tonight, we must expand the results no matter what.
Moreover, Chen Feilong also gained some combat experience through observation.
That is, don't use even force. If you attack the city wall in an all-round way, all the firepower of the Light Chaser Army will be fully released, and your own side will suffer too many casualties.
From now on, he chose three attack locations.
One is the main entrance of the south gate, one is southwest of the city wall, and the other is next to the water gate near Fengming River.
These three locations were taken as the main attack areas by Chen Feilong.
The southern city wall is a long five kilometers away, and the defenders focus on guarding three locations. With so many people, the firepower cannot be fully released, and no matter how the light chasing army kills them, the pile of corpses will get higher and higher, and eventually it will exceed the city wall.
.
It has to be said that Chen Feilong's strategy has paid off.
After he gave the order to focus the attack, the zombies under the city wall began to move.
The zombies around the three locations began to gather quickly.
This is certainly helpful for killing, but the pile of corpses will accumulate faster.
"Reinforcements, reinforcements! The main entrance of the south gate is under great pressure and reinforcements are needed!"
"Zombies are gathering in the southwest. More than 10,000 zombies have arrived here. We can't kill them. We're asking for support!"
"The wall between the Southeast Gate and Water Gate is in critical condition. More than 15,000 zombies have gathered here!"
The black mass of corpses crowded under the city wall, trying to start stacking Arhats on top of each other.
The bullets on the city wall poured down like raindrops, and almost none of them missed without aiming, but the pile of corpses still quickly grew taller.
In just ten minutes, a pile of corpses more than three meters high had been piled up here, and the area was very large.
Seeing this situation, Tang Zheng did not panic.
It was only a matter of time before the zombies got close to the city wall, after all, the number of zombies was so huge.
He was able to successfully suppress the progress of the zombies through various tactical means, and he was able to kill almost 200,000 zombies before the opponent approached the city wall, which was already very successful.
Tang Zheng knew long ago that the final victory or defeat must be concentrated in the attack and defense stage of the city wall.
Seeing that the zombies had gathered at the foot of the city, Tang Zheng waved his hand: "Fame-throwing warrior, enter!"
With such a dense group of corpses, the killing efficiency of ordinary firearms is already very low. The best killing method is the flamethrower warrior.
There are now almost fifty flamethrower warriors in the whole battalion. After receiving the order, ten flamethrower warriors arrived in vehicles at each of the three dangerous places on the city wall.
Polaris all-terrain vehicles were used for road transportation on the city wall.
The wheels almost ran out of sparks on the stone floor of the city wall, transporting the flamethrower warriors to the location. The soldiers jumped out of the car and each lay down at the crenellations of the city wall.
The flamethrower poked out of the crenel and opened fire on the corpses below.
The flames roared out, and the aroma of barbecue immediately began to spread.
The pile of corpses below, as well as the zombies around the pile of corpses, were all enveloped in flames.
These zombies are also fearless of death and are not afraid of being burned by fire. They still roar forward and strive to climb onto the pile of corpses.
The most brutal stage of attack and defense began, with human-shaped torches rising up one after another, and fierce flames pouring down from above.
The pile of corpses is burning and falling.
But new zombies keep coming up, and the height rises again.
The speed of the burning slowed down the height of the pile of corpses a little, but only a little.
The ten flamethrower warriors each sprayed ten rounds of flames in a short time, and the gasoline in the box behind them was exhausted.
Just when the flamethrower warriors were about to continue cheering, Tang Zheng waved his hand to stop them.
"It's okay to refuel, but the fire-breathing needs to stop for a while."
The soldiers of the Light Chasing Army immediately followed the order unconditionally. Although they felt that the situation was urgent and they should continue to attack the zombies, they still obeyed the general's order.
Tang Zheng stood on the city wall and looked into the distance.
Nothing could be seen clearly in the dark night. Only when the flares were launched, a new wave of corpses could be seen arriving in the distance.
It seems that the zombie leader has become ruthless and wants to capture Light Chaser City tonight.
From the beginning of the battle, the zombies have lost more than 200,000, but the zombie leader has no intention of giving up. Tang Zheng can also see that no matter how he fights back, he will continue to invest.
In this case, killing too quickly is not a good thing.
Because zombies don’t know how to be tired, but your own warriors still need some rest time and meal time.
So Tang Zheng was going to delay the battle tonight.
Now is not the time for a decisive battle, Tang Zheng first has to fight with his opponent to consume.
"The artillery continues to fire, attacking the zombies that have recently joined the battlefield."
"Helicopters must constantly put pressure on the zombies attacking the city in the air."
"The flamethrower warriors spray a round of flames every ten minutes. The higher the pile of corpses is, the higher it is. The higher it goes, the greater the number of corpses required below. If they want to rush to the top of the city wall, it will be difficult for them to do so tonight.
arrive."
"The defenders from the west city wall, north city wall, and inner city all come to the south city wall to assist in the defense!"
A series of orders were issued, and the Light Chasing Army immediately took action.
The defenders on the west city wall, the north city wall, and the inner city wall all rushed over to assist the defenders on the south side in defensive operations.
As for the company on the east wall, Tang Zheng never let them move.
Because although the battle has not started yet on the east city wall, the mine array has still been cleared.
As long as the zombie leader wants, the east city wall can be thrown in at any time. Tang Zheng even saw zombies wandering three kilometers away from the east city wall.
Therefore, Tang Zheng always kept the East City defenders stationary, just to not give the zombies a chance to attack.
At Nancheng, which received reinforcements, the front was stabilized again.
Although there are many zombies at this time, it is impossible to rush up to the city wall at once. They are piled up with corpses below, and the Light Chasing Army is still killing them continuously.
The number of zombies in the first wave of 100,000 has dropped to more than 30,000, and the losses have been extremely heavy.
But the pile of corpses under the city also reached a height of more than six meters.
Viewed from a distance, the three attack points of Chasing Light City looked like three hills starting to rise.
And a new round of zombie support troops also gradually entered the battlefield despite the artillery bombardment.
The fierce attack and defense continued, and time passed by minute by second.
Soon, the time came to one o'clock at midnight.
In the dark night, Tang Zheng did not continue to command at the south city gate, but came to the northeast gate of Zhuguang City.
This place is close to the foothills of Guyun Mountain. Even zombies are not guarding here because it is not suitable for attacking at all.
Tang Zheng's armored troops have already been assembled here.
