doomsday lamb

When the corpse group was blocked from Loushanguan and turned south,

The closest place to the Loushanguan Corpse Group is Zuncheng in the southeast.

This is an important town in central Guizhou, with 50,000 standing troops stationed there, and 100,000 ordinary evolvers in the city.

At present, the rest of the troops are unable to return reinforcements, and this is the largest force here except for the Nanzhong reinforcements.

However, Song Huaiyin did not seem to have any intention of letting the Zuncheng defenders go north to actively attack the corpses and fight them head-on.

Perhaps the strange and unpredictable movements of the corpses had frightened him.

In order to stop the corpses in the area north of Nanming City without fail, to avoid any accidents.

On the evening of May 2, Song Huaiyin urgently ordered the central Guizhou garrison to move westward and set up multiple lines of defense in the direction of the corpses.

At the same time, the local evolution team was mobilized to destroy the Lanhai Expressway along the way and create obstacles with earth, wood and rocks to slow down the advance of the corpse group.

On May 3, the corpse group first passed through the Honghuagang District on the outskirts of Zuncheng, and then came into contact with the first line of defense of Zuncheng defenders at Panjiawan.

The battle is about to break out, with the zombies attacking crazily and the defenders clinging to their lines.

The number of casualties reported to the Nanming headquarters rose rapidly, with more than half of them dead and injured in a short period of time.

However, the troops returning from Wumeng Mountain have just arrived in western Guizhou at this time, and will not be able to return to Nanming until tomorrow evening at the earliest.

There is no way, no matter how fast a living person is, it is impossible for him to be on the road like a black corpse 24 hours a day.

Ten hours of marching a day for ordinary troops is already the limit. Considering that mountainous marches are mostly uphill, downhill and detoured, the marching speed will be reduced by another 30% to 50%.

At this time, news came from the front line that the corpse group had broken through the first blockade and arrived in front of the second blockade.

Song Huaiyin was heartbroken and ordered the Wujiangzhai Guards to use explosives to blow up the Wujiang Bridge and the Wujiang Tunnel overnight, blocking all the corpses and Zuncheng defenders north of the Wujiang River.

After that, he mobilized all the fighting troops in Nanming City, including some ordinary people who had never been trained at all.

Under Song Huaiyin's coercion and inducement, women, children, old and young, all brought engineering materials to repair the northern city wall that had been damaged in the defense battle of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

On the morning of May 4th, the Zuncheng defenders had been fighting with the corpses on the second line of defense all night.

They didn't know at the moment that behind them, the two main passages leading to Nanming had been blown up by Song Huaiyin first.

At noon, Nanming City welcomed the first batch of reinforcements returning from the northwest.

These people are the Green Python Legion team guarding the Jinsha River section west of Wumeng Mountain.

As a private army of the Song Dynasty, they are also the most elite troops in the southwest region.

Although they had a longer journey to get here, they acted faster and more resolutely than other troops.

It is said that during these two days, they only rested for four hours a day, and spent the rest of the time on the road. Only then did they surpass others and enter Nanming City first.

The help of the Green Python Legion arrived, and Song Huaiyin suddenly felt much more confident.

At this time, the commander of the Zuncheng garrison at the front sent a message asking why the Wujiang Bridge and tunnels were blown up, leaving his second and third line troops with no way to retreat.

In this regard, Song Huaiyin scorned the combat effectiveness of his troops, but at the same time he tried to comfort him and promised to withdraw from the battle to the west, and the Wujiang Crossing Guards would escort him to a safe place. In short, he was prevaricating.

Two days after the crisis in Nanming began, the remaining troops, totaling 500,000, had also passed through western Guizhou and were about to arrive at Nanming City in the near future.

At this point, Song Huaiyin finally had the opportunity to calmly consider the layout of Nanming City's defense, and even planned to fight the Super Corpse King under the Nanming City and win it in one fell swoop.

However, accidents always come too quickly.

When Nanming's city defense gradually became more stable,

After capturing the three lines of defense in Lanhai, the zombie hordes in the north no longer looked for opportunities to move south.

Instead, we headed east along the Hetao area south of Zuncheng and drove straight in.

This was originally the territory of the Zun City defenders, but they are still repairing the Wujiang River crossing in the west.

Out of reach, who has the ability to stop this rampaging horde of corpses?

Song Huaiyin realized that the corpse group was trying to escape.

Perhaps the opponent's capture of Nanming was a lie, but his desire to advance eastward and return to his home base of the two lakes was real.

So the dozen independent brigades that had not yet entered Nanming City were urgently ordered to turn around and pursue them.

These troops originally wanted to use the Wujiang Bridge to go north, but they found out when they arrived that the bridge had been blown up.

They had no choice but to head east along the south bank of Wujiang River, chasing farther and farther.

It was not until Nanmudu, thirty miles away, that they successfully crossed the Wujiang River and headed north.

However, the troops heading north saw no trace of the corpses.

At this time, the corpses were passing through the border like locusts at an extremely fast speed, leaving only ruins for the pursuers.

The pursuing troops cursed loudly as they looked at the large and small gathering places destroyed by the corpses along the way, but they had no choice but to passively follow the corpses and eat ashes.

】

Song Huaiyin sent orders to urge the pursuit three times in a row, but the leading officer ignored them all.

In their hearts, they were extremely resistant to this undertaking.

The group of corpses ran away, what were they chasing?

Should I catch up with them and fight to the death, or be destroyed by them?

It’s not like there are no honest people among them who want to do their best to complete the task.

But isn’t there a lesson learned from the past for the defenders of Zun City?

Among the lords at all levels who can survive for three years in the apocalypse and have their own power, which one will be the real fool?

Working for Song Huaiyin is only done by a stupid fool!

Time came to the morning of May 6th, the second day after the independent brigade of the coalition forces chased the corpses eastward.

Two pieces of news were reported to the desk of Song Huaiyin, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

First, the pursuit force reported that a group of corpses were active in Feilong Lake in eastern Guizhou last night and encountered the vanguard force. The estimated total number was close to 100,000.

Second, the scouts sent by the Southern Support Army discovered traces of a large group of corpses in Weixin County, two hundred miles northwest of Nanming.

Looking at these two reports, Song Huaiyin was a little confused for a moment.

He wanted to call Jin Huan to discuss it together, but suddenly he remembered that his most loyal and capable subordinate was still recovering from his injuries at the rear.

Just when I was undecided, Zhao Feng's call came.

On the phone, Cha Feng reminded him that the main force of the corpse group might still be hiding somewhere in northwest Guizhou, waiting for an opportunity.

I hope he can send a capable force back to consolidate the defense of the Jinsha River. As for the defense of Nanming, he can move back to the eastern front to pursue the troops and change the defense.

Regarding Chu Feng's suggestion, Song Huaiyin showed neither agreement nor obvious rejection.

Anyway, in fact, when the main force of the Southern Support Army actually intercepted a large group of corpses in Tuanlin Miao Township, west of Weixin the next day, the Green Python Legion guarding Nanming City showed no sign of moving.

At this time, the troops chasing east had followed the corpse group to the Jianhe base, which was about two hundred miles away from Nanming.

The Nanming reinforcements were fighting against more than 100,000 black corpses in Tuanlin in the west. Wang Shouye of Nanming was like an ostrich with his head buried in the sand. He ignored them and refused to mobilize the Qing soldiers who were guarding the city despite Cha Feng's repeated calls.

Team Python leaves.

Song Huaiyin on the phone was hesitating and evasive, and Cha Feng was so angry that he hung up the phone.

In the Yubei combat hall, Cha Feng was pacing back and forth alone with many thoughts on his mind.

He had a conversation with Lang Hua two days ago. At that time, Lang Hua said bluntly, "He is not worried about Zheng Yangkong. He is just afraid that the neighboring troops will take pictures of the corpse king and ruin the matter." Now it seems that it has come true.

Zheng Yangkong fought alone in the hinterland of Wumeng Mountain for three days and two nights, but from beginning to end, not a single urging message was sent to him.

Chao Feng knew that the current situation on his side must be particularly difficult.

No one could have imagined that this corpse king would actually come up with a way to raise troops with troops.

By plundering the population of surrounding forces, they massacred black corpses and more than doubled their military strength in a short period of time.

In addition to the 100,000 black corpses that lured the enemy into rebellion in Dalou Mountain on the eastern front, there were actually more than 100,000 men hiding with it in the mountains and forests of northwest Guizhou.

Now the purpose of the Corpse King has been exposed,

He just wanted to cross the river west of Wumeng Mountain and head north.

Most of the Green Python Legion that originally guarded Jiangfeng there has rushed to Nanming.

Once the group of corpses breaks through the defense line of the Zhongnan reinforcements, the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled on the Jiang border will definitely not be able to stop him.

As for Lang Hua, although he has already taken the Tianfu Army from Xuzhou City to the west to return reinforcements, he doesn't know if he can still make it in time...
