Everything is developing for the better, and Zheng Yangkong is also taking part in the battle personally at this moment.
He led the main force of the coalition forces to the Dead Tree Valley, preparing to intercept an elite group of corpses passing by as planned.
But when they just stepped into the valley, Zheng Yangkong suddenly stopped.
The subordinates were confused and asked: "Commander, what are you..."
"Shh, it's too quiet."
Zheng Yangkong gradually frowned.
"Something's wrong. The rear team becomes the front team. Get out and don't make any unnecessary noise."
"Yes, Commander."
In fact, Zheng Yangkong couldn't tell much that was wrong.
He just had an intuition, a feeling like a ray of light on his back, that once he stepped into this valley, he would die without a burial place.
It was this intuition that saved his life in a cold shot two years ago when he led a team to regain control of the headquarters building from Qi Chuping.
Once he calmed down, Zheng Yangkong discovered that there were many strange things.
For example, among the three major groups of corpses that were eliminated previously, the proportion of special black corpses was surprisingly small.
For example, Fengdu was just ordered to deal with the old, weak, sick and disabled in the corpse wave, so why couldn't they catch up?
Did something happen on the road?
At this moment, just as the entire army was retreating, there was a sway of branches and leaves at the edge of the jungle.
"Commander, look!"
Looking in the direction pointed by his subordinates, Zheng Yangkong saw dense crowds of figures filling the junction between the jungle and the grassland.
It's a swarm of corpses! A large number of corpses suddenly appeared around the valley!
The total number of black corpses is expected to be at least 40,000!
Cold sweat broke out on Zheng Yangkong's forehead in an instant.
Suddenly, a whistling sound came from above the heads of the coalition forces, like a strong wind passing through the reeds.
People looked up and saw a dark cloud floating in the sky.
But if you look closer, what kind of dark clouds are there?
It was clearly a dense mass of corpse poison bone spurs!
"hidden!"
A school officer shouted this warning almost at the top of his lungs.
The next moment, his throat was pierced by a sharp bone awl, and he fell backwards.
After a rain of bone cones, the coalition vanguard battalion suffered numerous injuries and its formation was in chaos.
The zombies seized this opportunity to swoop down the hillside and attack, hoping to break through the coalition formation through their speed advantage.
"Prepare to fight! The rifle squad fires freely! Aim the recoilless rifle at the middle of these enemies and fire!"
In the hail of bullets, the black corpses running in front fell to the ground one after another, like crops being harvested in autumn.
But when they fell to the ground, more companions jumped over on their bodies.
The scene of the desperate attack launched by tens of thousands of zombies was too shocking.
The coalition forces lack bunkers, and it may be difficult to stop the onslaught of zombies by relying solely on a crossfire network.
If the black corpse really rushed to the front of the formation, what should they do to stop it?
A useless bullet? Or a body of warm flesh and blood?
For a time, everyone's pressure doubled. Some of the younger soldiers couldn't help but their hands were shaking, and they couldn't even hold their guns steady.
"Commander, what should we do? We lack bunkers here." said a school officer.
Someone reminded Zheng Yangkong anxiously: "Commander, if this continues, the ammunition loss will be great, and we won't be able to last long!"
Others said anxiously: "The planned position is on the top of the mountain opposite, and the ammunition is all there. Xiao Wu and the others were originally guarding it. Where are they?"
Xiao Wu is the leader of the reconnaissance squad left behind by the coalition forces at ambush position No. 4, and is responsible for guarding the position and supplies.
But now that the ambush position has changed hands, Xiao Wu and the others must have been killed.
It turned out that when they regarded a group of corpses as prey, the Corpse King was also looking for their main force, looking for an opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
"Oops, a large number of black corpses appear in the rear, the total number exceeds 10,000!"
"There are also black corpses coming from both sides, the number is unknown, the number is unknown!"
"The Pioneer Battalion has already fought against the corpses in front. Our army has suffered heavy casualties!"
"Commander, withdraw! If you don't withdraw, it will be too late!"
"Commander, give your orders quickly!"
"Okay. Adjutant Li Ren, please inform the brothers to retreat while fighting. You must not mess up your position.
Chen Gang, you lead the first and second battalions to guard the left flank. Wang Ming, you lead the third battalion and the battalion's machine gun company to guard the right wing.
Be sure to ensure the safety of the large troops. You can pick them up after the large troops evacuate! "
Chen and Wang both replied in unison: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
"Commander, what about you? Are you coming with us?" Li Ren asked after Chen and Wang left.
"I will lead the brothers from the guard camp and the teaching team to cut off the rear." Zheng Yangkong looked at the group of corpses rolling up the hillside and said through gritted teeth, "Unless we kill the wolves behind us, none of us can escape!"
Li Ren immediately became anxious when he heard that Zheng Yangkong was going to lead someone to cut off the queen.
"To lead you..."
"Go quickly and execute the order!"
"Yes!" Li Ren clenched his fists and ran away.
For this reason, he was the only one who could lead the large forces to evacuate as soon as possible.
Only if they leave safely early can Chen Gang, Wang Ming and Zheng Yangkong retreat with peace of mind.
Li Ren took a deep breath to calm down. There was no point in being anxious now.
Only by turning this full of anger and the unforgettable hatred towards the Black Corpse since Advent into combat effectiveness.
Tear a hole in the group of corpses behind and open a way out for the coalition forces!
Li Ren was silent. He silently took off his glasses and put them in his pocket, then ran towards the entrance of the valley.
His feet rumbled on the ground, and two pale golden streams of light overflowed from his eyes and pulled out threads in the air. The evolvers along the way saw this and hurriedly got out of the way.
"Rhinoceros horn - phantom!"
As he shouted, a shadow as big as a hill enveloped him, and it turned out to be an ancient giant rhinoceros covered in golden light!
"Ah——" "Buzz——"
The giant rhinoceros seemed to respond to Li Ren's shout, raising its head and letting out a sad roar.
It raised its front hooves and landed heavily on the ground. The ground shook for a moment, causing some black corpses to stumble and fall to the ground.
The giant rhinoceros lowered its head, revealing a huge and unprecedented pale gold rhinoceros horn.
At this moment, the rhinoceros horns and the giant rhinoceros seemed to have turned into entities.
Led by Li Ren, they rushed into the group of corpses at the rear, smashed hundreds of black corpses into blood mist, and lifted thousands of black corpses into the sky.
One person and one beast dug a passage among the corpses in just an instant!
Li Ren, the sharp blade hidden by hundreds of thousands of coalition troops.
This is his true strength!
A late-level fourth-level esper with the mimicry ability "Rhino Horn"!
The strongest combat power among the coalition forces below Zheng Yangkong!
Although there were many ability users in the team to help, the battle was not easy for the coalition forces.
After the hand-to-hand combat, the casualties on the human side increased sharply, and many soldiers fell dripping with blood under the sharp claws of the corpses.
At the critical moment, a burst of gunfire rang out from the hillside to the west.
People turned around and looked, only to see Chu Mingrui arriving with Fengdu reinforcements.
They charged and killed behind the corpses on the hillside, and at the same time divided their forces to block the corpses on both sides, buying valuable time for the coalition forces to retreat.
"Brother Zheng, I'm here!"
"Without further ado, let's take the brothers away!"
"Follow me and get out of there!"
In the early morning of the next day, two groups of troops withdrew to the Tielugou defense line.
The tide of corpses pursued them all the way, and the two sides started fighting again.
Tielugou is the last pass before Pengshui to the river bank. It is rich in materials and ammunition. The coalition forces can rely on the original defense line to counterattack calmly.
Not only that, countless anti-infantry mines were laid outside the ditch, killing and maiming countless black corpses.
Unfortunately, misfortunes never come singly. After the sun rose, groups of unknown corpses suddenly appeared on the slopes on both sides of Tielugou.
The total number of these guys is 30,000 each. I don’t know how they escaped the satellite reconnaissance and suddenly appeared here to attack the Tielugou defense line.
"Where did these guys get here? We fell into a trap!"
"Pocket Formation! Such an insidious Corpse King, does it want to swallow ten thousand of us?"
"It's a beautiful idea. If you want to eat, I have to have good teeth!"
"Brother Chen, Brother Wang, don't be reckless! Our army is ordered to stop the tide of corpses from moving north. If the corpse king is allowed to successfully cross the river, what's the use even if everyone is dead?"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Chen Gang said angrily.
Chu Mingrui said: "We must find a way to break out of the encirclement and then stop the corpse tide from crossing the bridge. There is only one battalion of troops on the other side of the bridge. If the corpse tide divides its forces and moves north, it will be difficult for them to stop it."
Wang Ming objected, "No! If we fall into the Corpse King's trick of luring the snake out of its cave, not only will the bridge be lost, but we will also die without a burial place!"
The Corpse King is afraid of staying here, but if we leave Tielugou, we will really become turtles without shells! "
Chen Gang said anxiously: "This won't work, that won't work either. You are afraid of death, but I am not!"
Commander, give us some explosives and I'll take a few brothers to blow up the bridge! "
Unexpectedly, Zheng Yangkong glanced at him and disagreed: "You can't blow up the bridge! Wait a moment."
"Commander, what are you waiting for? If you don't make a decision, it will be too late!"
Chen Gang was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, his face flushed, and his knuckles turned white from the clenching of his fists.
If Zheng Yangkong wasn't his old superior, I'm afraid he would have taken action by now!
"What are you waiting for?" Zheng Yangkong suddenly stood up.
He walked out of the camp and heard the hum of an engine in the air.
The sound came from far to near, coming from the east, flying over Tieliangou like a roc spreading its wings, and dropped many cylinders outside the hillside defense line.
"Boom - boom -"
The soil was thrown away, and countless black corpses were blown into ashes along with the rocks, vegetation and trees around them.
These planes and bombs are aviation support from the Jiangdong Corps!
It was at this scene where the sky was shattering and the earth was shattering that Zheng Yangkong turned around and chuckled: "Isn't this what you've been waiting for?"
At this time, people thought Zheng Yangkong was referring to these aviation formations when he said "wait until".
Until the next moment, some noisy echoes sounded on the public wireless communication channel of the coalition forces.
Someone said inside: "We have now taken over the Fengdu Bridge. On orders from the headquarters, the Mangshan Heavy Combined Brigade under the Gyeonggi City Defense Force came to rescue."
"The Pinggu heavy-duty synthetic brigade is here to rescue..."
"Tianmen Heavy Synthetic Brigade..."
"Baoding Garrison Corps..."
"Changshan New Brigade..."
After two months, the second batch of reinforcements from the north to support the south finally arrived.
