Like an army, zombies have a strict division of labor and strict discipline. They are equipped with armor, weapons, and siege equipment. Li Yuanhong has never seen such a group of zombies. However, there is a troop like this outside the survivors' village established by the Lanzhou army.
Lanzhou is located in a mountainous area. The Yellow River flows through the middle of the city. In ancient times, it was an important town in Northwest China. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, it was the command center of the northwest military region, so there were heavy troops here.
At the beginning of the end of the world, many people escaped from the city and entered the mountain area to escape the attack of the early zombies. In addition, the Army established rescue bases in time. Many survivors survived, at least more than one million.
However, in the later period, due to the national traffic cut-off and the material consumption in the mountainous areas of Lanzhou, the army's grain reserves were gradually reduced, so many people were forced to go out to look for new food. At this time, the strength of zombies and mutant animals had been improved, and many people died under the mouths of zombies and mutant animals.
At present, there are at least half a million people in military bases and scattered bases around them. However, none of them can fight against zombies. At most, they are reluctant to protect themselves.
At present, there are nearly half a million zombies outside the walls of the military base, throwing stones into the city. Many soldiers guarding the city on the wall are killed by the huge stones coming from the city.
Yes, this time, the zombies used the siege device and riprap machine. If the city wall was not built to more than 20 meters high, it is estimated that the zombies would have climbed the city with a ladder.
"Commander Ma, it's impossible to defend like this. Why don't we just agree to the other party's request and surrender?"
At this time, two officers stood in the city and began to talk. One of them was persuading the other officer. That officer was the highest commander of the base, Ma Fangyu, commander of the Infantry Corps of the northwest military region of Yuan Dynasty.
Ma Fangyu has very heavy eyebrows, square face, big eyes, big nose and big mouth. He has a kind of tough temperament at first sight.
At this time, Ma Fangyu's brow tightened and did not answer the officer's words.
The commander next to him was fat and white. He was not a member of commander Ma's camp, but Mr. Zhang of another camp. The camp was set up by a logistics division. There used to be a spare warehouse where there were more materials than Ma Fangyu. Therefore, the soldiers in the base area lived on abundant materials, and they were lucky to accept them later The survivors are mainly young people and women. As for why, of course, it is to find wives for soldiers, and it is not one of them. Of course, in this last age, as long as you can eat enough, you don't care who you marry.
Ma Fangyu's base, in order to support more survivors, Ma asked the troops to search for materials frequently, which led to the rapid reduction of Ma Fangyu's troops. However, because Ma Fangyu's troops dare to fight and fight, they killed the most zombies. Later, the state announced the secret of crystal nucleus, and Ma Fangyu's army had the largest number of evolutors and became the strongest gathering place in this mountain area.
However, just two days ago, an emissary came to Ma Fangyu's camp. He claimed that he was from the Western Empire. He claimed that the Western Empire had reached a settlement with the zombies. As long as they joined the Western Empire, human beings would not be attacked by zombies. As long as human beings fulfilled some trivial requirements of the zombie army every year, they could live a life before the end of the world.
In this regard, Ma Fangyu was very suspicious of the purpose of the messenger. He refused the request of the other party. How could human beings live in peace with zombies? Isn't that a trick to ghosts!
The emissary was rejected by Ma Fangyu. Before leaving, he said to Ma Fangyu with a sinister smile: "commander Ma, I advise you to agree to this condition, or you will regret all your life. Now the empire is short of people. In the past, with your military strength, you will certainly be able to occupy an important position. Otherwise, your gathering place will be faced with disaster!"
Ma Fangyu, of course, would not be frightened by this nonsense, so he said angrily to the emissary: "if you don't shut up, I'll kill you!"
After hearing Ma Fangyu's words, the man immediately snorted and walked away, but his eyes showed fierce resentment.
Who is Ma Fangyu? Knowing that this kind of person is a villain and harbors a grudge, he is bound to retaliate. Therefore, he asked people to strengthen their defense and strictly investigate the people who come in and out, especially strangers, who are not allowed to enter.
Early this morning, however, Mr. Zhang, who was not far away from himself, came to visit him. Although he was not good at leading troops, he was good at making money. The two people usually have some friendship, which is quite good.
After they took their seats, Ma Fangyu was a straightforward man, so he directly asked, "brother Zhang, how can you come here today?"
"Ha ha, it's not a big deal. It's just that someone came to me recently and wanted to make a big deal. So I came to see commander Ma to discuss it and see if it could be done." Mr. Zhang said.
"Oh? What business can make brother Zhang think big business? Is it difficult to discover the secret storage again
"Warehouse? No, no, no, no, no matter how big the warehouse is, sooner or later, we will have a day to eat. If there is a piece of good land with ten thousand mu, we can cultivate it freely. Are you afraid that there will be no food to eat? "
"Ha ha, brother Zhang is very good at fantasy. We are in the mountain area, not to mention ten thousand mu of good farmland. Even if it is a good 100 mu mountain good field, I can hardly find it. Just say that my base, I keep this cultivated land is only less than 50 mu, and the grain yield per mu is less than 200 kg, and the grain production is not enough for a year in a row." Ma commander said with a bitter smile."What if I said there were ten thousand acres of good farmland?" Zhang affirmed.
"Oh? Where is it? "
Then Mr. Zhang took out a map and spread it on the table. Then Mr. Zhang pointed his finger at the map and said, "you see, there is enough fertile land to feed tens of millions of people in this area, and cotton can also be planted. Then we can eat and wear well."
Ma Fangyu looked at the map. This is the map of Xinjiang Province in China and Afghanistan, but now it has been replaced by a new name: Western Empire.
After reading this map, Ma Fangyu immediately understood that it was Mr. Zhang who came to persuade himself to surrender to the so-called western empire.
Ma Fangyu's face darkened immediately: "what does brother Zhang mean?"
"Brother Ma, it's not obvious. There are good farmland reclaimed by the land reclamation master, covering an area of more than 10000 mu, and the remaining 500000 people here can support them even if they are twice as many. Moreover, there has been established a country where humans and Zombies coexist. Human beings do not have to worry about being killed by zombies at will. As long as the human beings there abide by the law, they can live a free life. And if we go to the past, we can still get the title! " Zhang said with flying eyebrows.
Ma Fangyu's face was almost spattered by Mr. Zhang's saliva, and his face was even heavier.
"Do you believe that, brother Zhang?
"Ha ha, of course I don't believe it, but I've sent someone to see it. Although the people's lives are not as good as they say, the nobles are very good. They can make slaves humble. We can enjoy such treatment when we go there. Of course, we only need to firmly control our army!" Mr. Zhang said happily.
"Brother Zhang, have you forgotten the duty of a soldier? It is impossible for human beings to coexist with zombies, unless human beings are blocked into pig like food and kept in captivity, waiting for those zombies to come and eat at any time
"What's the matter? The people who are kept in captivity are those civilians who have no ability. We are not in this line at all!" Mr. Zhang didn't mind.
"You..." Ma Fangyu was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"What's more, the Western Empire is so powerful that its zombie army has reached tens of millions, which is not what we can resist. By the way, they're zombies, not the untrained zombies that roam the city. " Zhang had a sinister smile on his face.
When Ma Fangyu was about to say something more, a soldier ran in in panic: "report to commander, we found a large group of zombies outside the city wall!"
"What did I say? No, the vanguard of the Western Empire is coming. I think commander Ma had better make plans earlier." Next to the teacher Zhang leisurely way.
"Hum!" Ma Fangyu snorted coldly and ignored Mr. Zhang. He quickly walked outside with the guards and went straight to the wall.
When Ma Fangyu came to the city wall, what he saw was a large army of more than 500000 zombies, which covered the ravines outside the wall. The number was not the biggest problem. The problem was that the army of zombies was more like a well-trained army than a scattered army.
In front of the zombie troops, there are ordinary zombies with shields and armor, followed by zombies with long tongues and shadow zombies in soft armor, and fat zombies in heavy armor. Some of these fat zombies hold chain hammers, some have javelins, and some carry baskets, but they don't know what is in the basket.
However, there are still several machines like ancient stone throwers about one kilometer away from the city wall. However, the shooting distance of the ancient stone throwing machines is only 500-600 meters. What is this one kilometer machine?
Ma Fangyu saw such a tight zombie army. If it was just the end of the world, Ma Fangyu would not hesitate to order the artillery to shoot and bomb those suspicious machines, but now all the shells have been used up.
Not to mention shells, there are not many bullets left in daily use. Most of the weapons are cold weapons. Many soldiers have big knives, spears, bows, arrows and javelins in their hands. Even many soldiers wear sports clothes or ordinary civilian clothes instead of military uniforms, because many people here are ordinary people. Many of the elite soldiers have died in the war. Now, they can only protect their homes by themselves.
Looking at the procession of zombies, Ma Fangyu frowned. If it was an ordinary corpse group, Ma Fangyu still had hope to defend the gathering place by relying on the 50 meter high wall. But now, he dare not say.
At this time, Zhang leisurely came over: "how, commander Ma, now it's time to make a decision!"
Ma Fangyu did not answer. He knew that if he agreed to the other party's request, he might live and live well.
But in that case, the people he guarded would live a life of slaves, even worse than slaves.
This is not what Ma Fangyu wants. This is not the choice of a soldier. Even if a soldier dies, he has to face the enemy and call his back a barrier for his family.
"I'm sorry, brother Zhang. I think my military duty can't let me give up those soldiers who are still fighting, so I still have to fight!" Ma Fangyu chose to fight."You can't beat these zombies. You're dying for nothing, you know?" Mr. Zhang or clothes painstakingly advised.
However, Ma Fangyu is no longer listening to Mr. Zhang's wordiness.
At this time, the messenger ran over with an excited expression on his face: "report commander, we have received a message!"
"What information?" Ma Fangyu asked casually. His attention now is completely on the zombies who are still lining up.
"Report commander, a human army has defeated the corpse of Xi'an City, broadcasting to the outside world!"
"What? Someone beat the zombies in Xi'an city? " Ma Fangyu finally felt that he was saved. Maybe there could be reinforcements to help him, so that he could be saved from extinction.
"Try to get in touch with them and inform them of our difficulties. Maybe they will send reinforcements!" Ma Fangyu says excitedly.
"Yes, commander!" The messenger ran down quickly.
