Chapter 147: A Million Corpses
The entire group of millions of corpses stretches for dozens of kilometers, which is daunting. If it is a small gathering place, the corpses may not have to fight, and they will be leveled by the way. Fortunately, the zombies came straight to Li Yuanhong's valley base, and did not go to those bases hidden in the mountains, so there were almost no gathering places that were affected. However, the momentum of the zombies crossing the border really shocked many survivors, and Because of this, after the tide of corpses ended, many small gathering places around Hunchun applied to join Li Yuanhong's camp.
The zombies moved very fast, and reached the Hunchun River Bridge the next morning. The Hunchun River Bridge is an important bridge on the Hunchun River in the southwest of Hunchun City. The entire bridge is more than 200 meters long. The Hunchun River under the bridge is an important tributary of the Tumen River. It is very close to the Tumen River. formed a triangular plain.
When the zombies came to the north bank of the bridge, there were already humans stationed on the opposite side of the bridge. At the head of the bridge, simple fortifications were built, and it was rare that Li Yuanhong dispatched machine guns and grenade launchers. And on both sides of the bridge, there are two armored vehicles on guard, ready to guard against the surprise attack of long-tongued zombies crawling under the bridge.
The waiting formation did not stop the advance of the zombie army. For the zombie group, the hundreds of humans across the river were purely early, and probably not enough corpses to stuff their teeth. So the vanguard of the corpse group roared angrily and charged up the bridge, towards Li Yuanhong's bridgehead position.
When the group of corpses rushed halfway to the bridge deck, the machine guns in the fortification began to fire, four machine guns fired at the same time, each machine gun blocked a lane, covering the entire bridge deck in bullet rain. Many zombies were shot one after another. Even if there were no dead ones, many zombies were wounded in the legs, causing the group of corpses to stagnate. As a result, the bridge deck was congested. It suddenly slowed down, and a stampede occurred inside the group of corpses. There are also many zombies by the bridge. The crowded corpses squeezed directly off the bridge deck and fell directly into the rapids below. After a few ups and downs in the water, they disappeared.
The group of corpses was frustrated, but it didn't stop the madness of the group of corpses. After a short period of adjustment, the group of corpses resumed their forward order. This time, once any zombies were injured, if the speed was affected, these zombies would directly fall to the ground and become A stepping stone for subsequent zombies, so that the road ahead is always open. The sacrifice of these zombies restored the walking speed of the zombies, and soon the vanguard of the zombie group advanced to less than 50 meters from the end of the bridge.
At this time, behind the fortifications, a row of bed crossbows and eight bed crossbows appeared, directly shooting huge crossbow bolts. The zombie running in front was directly penetrated by the giant crossbow, and was led to fly backwards. By the way, more than a dozen zombies behind were pierced on the crossbow arrows. At the same time, the strong power of the crossbow arrows brought down the surrounding zombies. The advancing pace of the group stopped again, and the group of corpses was driven back to the middle of the bridge. This time, the group of corpses on the bridge was blocked again, and the group of corpses on the bridge turned into a pot of porridge again. At this time, a few catapults were launched at the bridgehead, and the stones the size of a bowl were thrown by the trebuchet, so the sky began to rain stones, and the zombies on the bridge surface and the bridgehead were smashed to death by the stones. .
The first wave of zombies was taken back without any pressure. Although hundreds of zombies died, for the zombies, this casualty was nothing but a drop in the bucket. Then, the second echelon of zombies rushed to the bridge again, and this time the zombies rushed even harder. The zombies wanted to quickly rush across the bridge in order to occupy the other side's bridgehead fortifications. However, the zombies attacked again in vain. Under the multiple attacks of the stone machine and the bed crossbow, the attack of the corpse group was blocked again.
Several times in succession, the attack by the corpse group returned in vain, and many zombie corpses were left on the bridge, making the bridge almost blocked to death. Moreover, due to the stagnation of the zombie team, on the north bank of the river, follow-up corpses have arrived one after another. Millions of corpses gathered on the bank of the river, densely packed with people, and those who have crowd phobia dare not look at the river bank. At this time, the corpse group spread along the river bank, at least one kilometer long, and at this time, the length of the zombie team has been reduced to less than fifteen kilometers. If the zombie team cannot open the way forward, the entire corpse group will be stranded in the river. On the other side, and the entire formation will be completely disrupted. At this time, if the zombie group is attacked by intensive firepower, the loss of the zombies will be great. Of course, the zombies wouldn't know that Li Yuanhong didn't have any powerful long-range weapons of mass destruction, otherwise Li Yuanhong would have used them long ago.
The group of lingering corpses aroused the dissatisfaction of the giant zombies. A roar sounded from the tail of the zombie team. Following the roar, the roar sounded like drumming and passing flowers, from the tail of the team to the bridgehead. This roar caught Li Yuanhong's attention, and he finally found the figure of the giant zombie at the end of the group of corpses, and those zombies who transmitted the sound were also giant zombies, but they were not as strong as the zombies at the end of the group. So Li Yuanhong ordered the griffins in the sky to stare at these giant zombies. If he wanted to destroy this group of zombies, getting rid of these giant zombies became the key.
Following the roar of the giant zombies, the zombies piled up on the river bank began to show new movements. Many zombies jumped off the river bank one after another and rushed into the river. Obviously, the zombies planned to wade across the river. It's just that the zombies underestimated the power of the river. Although the river is not very wide, it is still more than 20 meters long. In order to prevent floods, the flood prevention towers on both sides of the river are also three meters high. Many zombies sprained their feet just after jumping off the flood prevention towers. , so I saw many limping zombies staggering forward on the north bank of the river. And some of the fast-running zombies had rushed into the river. The Hunchun River is not as strong and deep as the Tumen River, but the center of the river is at least three meters long, and the current in the center of the river is relatively fast, and many zombies were washed away by the current.
But the zombies didn't give up, and many zombies went directly to the upper reaches of the river to cross the river. Although the river there was also very fast, thanks to the fact that the water was not that deep, many zombies could still walk under the water for a while. But there are still many zombies washed down. However, many zombies were washed under the bridge, blocked by the pier, and the corpses hung there, floating.
Of course, Li Yuanhong couldn't just watch the zombies cross the river easily, so he sent many troops to attack the zombies crossing the river. Because the zombies had trouble crossing the river even to stand firm, and the speed could not be increased at all, these zombies became living targets and were attacked one after another. Shoot in the river.
As more and more zombies died upstream, the corpses floating down gradually formed a small pile of corpses under the bridge, which tended to block the river, so that the water flow below the river began to slow down and become shallower. Seeing this, Li Yuanhong hurriedly The artilleryman Xiao Yongyi shouted: "Xiao Yongyi, quickly use the grenadier to blow up the pile of corpses under the bridge."
Since Xiao Yongyi came to the bridge, although he commanded the trebuchet to fight against the corpses, the lethality of the trebuchet is really limited, so Xiao Yongyi has been focusing on the grenade, hoping to use the grenade to bombard the zombies a few times, but Li Yuanhong In order to prevent the bridge deck from being blown up, Xiao Yongyi's artillery has not been allowed to fight. At this time, after receiving Li Yuanhong's order, he immediately regained his energy, so he quickly replied: "Yes, we guarantee to complete the task!" Then quickly set up two grenade launchers, and after a little aiming, the two howitzers were shot out of the barrel.
With two loud bangs, the pile of corpses that had just formed was directly blasted away, and then the blocked river, like a flood that broke its embankment, broke through the obstruction of the pile of corpses and rushed downstream. The sudden small torrent directly rushed the group of zombies who were rushing across the river. Before these zombies could react to what happened, they were submerged by the flood and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that the zombie group's plan to cross the river was blocked, Li Yuanhong was slightly relieved. Li Yuanhong knew that this bridge could not prevent the attack of zombies at all, but to block the zombies here, he hoped to let the zombies form a dense formation here, so that he could implement his trap plan, otherwise the zombies would break through the block at this time, so he planned to reduce the number of zombies. The purpose of the group cannot be achieved. Only the longer the delay here and the denser the corpse group, the stronger the lethality of your own trap.
However, the zombies didn't intend to give Li Yuanhong too much time, and got inspiration from the pile of corpses blocking the river just now, so the zombies changed their strategy and were no longer eager to cross the river to attack.
