Emperor’s Battlefield: I, Zhu Houzhao, like to push horizontally

Chapter 42 The White Walkers come riding the wind and snow!
The battlefield Zhu Houzhao chose to fight against the White Walkers was the city of cockroach people.

There are good defenses here, with a large number of houses that can be used as bunkers, an area under the temple, and an ammunition storage depot.

In this place where there is no city for thousands of miles, there is no better choice than this defensive base.

"Beep beep beep..."

Amidst the rapid whistle, Zhu Houzhao and Zhao Kuangyin quickly climbed onto the defensive wall.

"Your Majesty, the reconnaissance radio station sent a message that unknown enemies are approaching and the number is unknown."

"Guns are not very effective against them."

Knowing that this battle was very dangerous, the commander of the mechanized infantry regiment had been setting up defenses on the city wall and never left.

As soon as Zhu Houzhao climbed onto the city wall, he reported the news from the front.

In order to prevent sneak attacks by the White Walkers, Zhu Houzhao sent out several reconnaissance teams, equipped them with radio stations, and set up checkpoints within a five-mile radius of the city to report any news immediately.

Now it seems that this arrangement is very wise, and the White Walkers really came in the blizzard.

Without these reconnaissance checkpoints and a sudden swarm of White Walkers, imagine how dangerous it would be.

"Did they withdraw?"

The blizzard was so heavy that Zhu Houzhao couldn't see the situation in the distance clearly, and couldn't even hear the gunshots of the defensive checkpoints.

The leader of the Jibu group had a sad expression and shook his head slightly.

"No, when they were discovered, the enemy was already less than ten meters away from them."

"They knew there was no hope of retreat, so they chose to fight to the death to buy time for the radio soldiers to send the message."

As he spoke, he looked into the distance, "I could still hear gunfire just now, but now I can't hear anything. I guess..."

Although the leader of Jibu did not finish what he said, Zhu Houzhao also understood what he meant.

The checkpoint soldiers sent out for reconnaissance were probably all killed at this moment.

Reaching out and patting the waist of the commander of the Jibu regiment, Zhu Houzhao said to him: "Their sacrifice will not be in vain. I will always remember them, and Ming Dynasty will always remember them."

Turning to look outside the city, Zhu Houzhao said in a serious tone: "Tell the brothers, the time has come to test us. In the past, we always suppressed the enemy and fought. Now that we are not on our side, I believe that the brothers can still win."

"Yes."

"In such an environment, we don't have an advantage!"

When the commander of the mechanized infantry regiment gave the order.

Zhu Houzhao and Zhao Kuangyin lay on the female wall and looked outside with binoculars.

After observing for a while, Zhao Kuangyin, who saw nothing due to the snowstorm, sighed helplessly.

"Isn't that what war is like? There is no absolute fairness. With a city to defend us, we already have an advantage compared to those emperors who have nothing."

Zhu Houzhao, who was observing the surroundings with a telescope, replied casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped his hands slightly and looked in one direction.

"coming."

Next to him, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to say something, but Zhu Houzhao suddenly shouted, making him tense up instantly. He raised his telescope and looked in the direction Zhu Houzhao was looking at.

Although the blizzard was heavy, it was still daytime after all, so I could still see some things.

In the heavy snow that was as dense as a curtain, Zhao Kuangyin faintly saw a group of black figures slowly approaching the city wall.

"Inform the artillery to fire in Area 26."

The artillerymen had already measured the surrounding scales, and the commander of the mechanized infantry regiment, who also discovered the situation, designated the attack position for the artillerymen based on the map in his mind.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

In less than ten seconds, a whistling sound flew overhead, and a cloud of snowflakes exploded in the group of black shadows.

There were no screams or roars of pain, and the area emptied by the shells was once again filled with black shadows.

"Da da da……"

Fierce gunfire rang out elsewhere, accompanied by bursts of artillery roar.Zhu Houzhao held up the telescope and looked into the distance, frowning tightly.

Don’t know what the other person’s body composition is?
Zhu Houzhao saw with his own eyes that several corpses were half-shattered by machine guns and artillery shells, but they had no impact at all and continued to crawl forward slowly.

"Is this the White Walker?"

Zhao Kuangyin, who was already able to see the enemy clearly through the telescope, let out a confused sound.

"This is a wight."

Zhu Houzhao explained: "It is the product of the corpse being resurrected by the White Walkers. To put it bluntly, they are a group of moving mummies. As long as the White Walkers who control them are killed, they will die instantly."

The effect of the attack was not as obvious as expected. Zhu Houzhao retracted his telescope and suggested to the commander of the mechanized infantry regiment who was giving various orders next to him: "Let the machine gunner change to armor-piercing incendiary bombs and see if there is any effect."

These corpses, to put it bluntly, are just a group of mummy skeletons. Unlike humans, they will not die immediately after being shot.

To deal with this thing, it is difficult to kill without interrupting its central nervous system and making it unable to move completely.

Zhu Houzhao does not have the so-called dragon crystal in Game of Thrones, so he cannot verify whether these guys can be killed by dragon crystal.

As for that kind of steel, Zhu Houzhao didn't even have it.

So he can only rely on burning, or the impact of cannonballs to crush it.

The machine gunner who received the order replaced the bullets in batches.

Zhu Houzhao did not have much preparation for armor-piercing incendiary bombs.

At that time, he thought that he might be dealing with ancient military units, and using armor-piercing incendiary bombs would be a complete waste.

After all, the price of this thing is much more expensive than ordinary ammunition.

This time when I entered the battlefield, I only equipped some equipment according to the regulations.

Now that it may be used, Zhu Houzhao can only ask the soldiers to mix ordinary bullets and armor-piercing incendiary bombs.

This not only has powerful attack power, but also comes with a flame burning effect.

As for whether it has any effect, it depends on God’s will.

"Da da da…"

A machine gunner beside Zhu Houzhao, with the help of his deputy, changed the ammunition as quickly as possible.

He took aim slightly at the black shadow that was getting closer and closer in the distance, and pressed the trigger without hesitation.

Fiery tongues of fire spurted out from the muzzle of the gun, and bullets flew toward the corpse.

"Pfft..."

Under the gazes of Zhu Houzhao and Zhao Kuangyin, a bear-like corpse was struck by a bullet whip.

The hair covered with snowflakes flew everywhere, and the slowly advancing figure was pushed back by the impact of the bullets.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a fireball burst out of the body of the bear ghoul, and the whole body burned quickly.

Zhu Houzhao made the right bet.

These corpses are, to put it bluntly, mummies that have been dead for a long time.

Their bodies are as hard as dry wood and have a strong defensive effect against attacks from swords and axes. Their only small weakness is that they are afraid of fire attacks.

The White Walkers avoided this and took advantage of the snow to launch their attack.

Under the cover of heavy snow, it is really difficult to use ordinary fire attacks.

Facing such an enemy, the cold weapon troops really have no way to defeat them in this weather.

But they happened to meet Zhu Houzhao, this idiot-like existence.

Armor-piercing bullets have strong penetrating properties, and can easily penetrate the hard mummy body.

You came here in the wind and snow. I can't light it because it's covered in snow outside. There should be no snow inside your body. I'll help you put out the fire.
