Chapter 357 Guiyu City Offensive and Defensive Battle ([-])

Since the dinosaurs threw corpses into the city, the army of dinosaurs did not attack for several days, but only sent small groups of troops to harass them from time to time.

In the medical center in the city, apart from the wounded soldiers, several new patients have appeared in the past few days. The symptoms of these patients are basically the same, with high fever. When these people were sent to the medical center, they were already insane. .

In this situation, the doctors immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

After isolating these people, he quickly found Lin Mu, the prefect of Guiyu City, and reported the situation.

Knowing the seriousness of this matter, the prefect of Guiyu City quickly ordered the city government officials to go door-to-door to search for patients with similar symptoms.

Although such a move made the common people very dissatisfied, Lin Mu could no longer care about the feelings of the common people when it involved the lives of the common people in the capital.

While searching for patients, they sent people to explain to the people the consequences of letting the plague spread.

People who are not sick naturally do not want to contract this terrible disease. In order to ensure their own safety, the common people actively report patients infected with the plague.

Over the past few days, dozens of patients have been detected.

Moreover, the mortality rate of this plague is extremely high. The first batch of patients who were discovered lost their lives in just two days after arriving at the medical center.

In order to protect the safety of the doctors, Lin Mu locked these patients in a separate house and forbade anyone from getting close to it. With Xia Guo's medical level, there was absolutely no cure for this disease, and he could only watch these patients fend for themselves. .

When Guiyu City fell into the panic of the plague, the dinosaurs outside the city also fell into the same trouble.

The few sick dinosaur soldiers who didn't pay attention to it suddenly fell ill at home, and the red spots on their bodies spread rapidly. After that, the dinosaur soldiers in the same camp all showed more or less similar symptoms.

The fall of a soldier finally attracted the attention of the high-level dinosaur people. They killed all the sick dinosaur people and burned their bodies quickly.

At first, the dinosaurs believed that the plague was spread by those human corpses, but after investigation by the dinosaur's army doctor, it was found that the disease was not transmitted through the corpses.

Those sick soldiers did not touch human corpses. On the contrary, these soldiers had close contact with human beings when fighting, which means that they had more or less contact with human blood.

This discovery shocked the top management of the Dinosaurs. If humans were the source of the disease, then this war would be extremely unfavorable to them. How could there be no blood in the war.

As long as the siege continues, they believe that this strong city will fall into their own hands sooner or later, but the current situation makes them somewhat unable to advance or retreat.

Whether to immediately withdraw from the New World and give up the city and wealth that is about to be obtained, or to take a gamble, the generals of the dinosaurs started a fierce quarrel over these two problems.

After deliberation, the dinosaurs decided to wait for a while, as long as the sick soldiers were dealt with and the speed of transmission could be controlled, the losses could be reduced.

Both humans and dinosaurs are extremely vulnerable in the face of the plague.

The preventive measures of the two parties are very similar, but to their disappointment, even though the corpses were handled carefully or the patients were killed, the plague still spread rapidly among the people.

Dozens of people were killed and injured on both sides every day. As time passed, the dinosaurs finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

If this art continues, our army will collapse without standing.

Looking at the thick smoke rising from the human city, the commander of the dinosaurs secretly hated him, gritted his teeth and ordered the army to retreat.

If he continued to stay here until the arrival of human reinforcements, he would face a desperate situation.

Humans have a natural advantage in fighting on the mainland, and if the war continues, it will bring a fatal blow to their own side.

An unexpected situation happened to the guard of Guiyu City. The enemy outside the city began to recede like a tide. The enemy retreated so simply that the two of them were confused for a while.

Just now I was still worried that if the plague in the city continued, it would bring great pressure to the city defenders.

Seeing that the enemy retreated, in order to prevent the enemy from cheating, Zhao Jian immediately dispatched dragoons to investigate, and soon after, the dragoons returned and reported: "General, the enemy has indeed retreated!"

Shi and Zhao looked at each other with incredulous expressions on their faces. The previous situation was clearly dominated by the enemy. As long as it dragged on for half a month, the two of them had no confidence in whether Yucheng would be in their hands. .

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and began to transfer all their energy to the plague in the city.

Without the threat of external enemies, the pressure in the city suddenly eased, and the whole city began to be fully disinfected. The number of people who died of illness in the past few days has approached 1000. If it continues to expand, everyone in the city will die.

The common people cooperated with the soldiers to clean up the garbage in the city, and boiled all the dishes and clothes at home in boiling water according to the doctor's requirements.

At dusk, after confirming that the enemy had really gone far, the soldiers opened the city gate and buried the human corpses scattered outside. Those dead dinosaurs directly chopped off their heads and piled them up outside the city, as if Doing it can show the strength of human beings to those alien races.

After cleaning up the whole city, four or five days later, the spread of the plague gradually slowed down.

At this time, Lin Jianya and Lin Shupi finally arrived at Guiyu City after gathering the [-] troops from the north.

When they saw the dilapidated city wall and smelled the stench of corpses in the air, the two of them were startled. The scene before them, one can imagine what kind of battle happened here before.

When Shi and Zhao saw the two marshals coming, they quickly opened the city gate to welcome them in.

Seeing the miserable condition of almost every house in the city hanging white cloths, Lin Jianya hurriedly asked, "What's going on here!"

Shi Yue sighed, and told them what happened in detail.

After hearing that the enemy actually drove the humans to attack the city and slaughtered the surrounding villages, the two were immediately extremely angry. When they heard that the enemy attacked the city with dead corpses and caused the plague to rampant in the city, the anger and gratitude in their hearts reached the extreme.

Lin Jianya said angrily, "Has the enemy retreated for four days?"

Zhao Jian nodded and said: "It's been exactly four days now! According to the report from the spies, the enemy is resting in the northern stronghold."

"Leave 5000 people to guard the city, and the rest will follow me." Lin Jianya said with a sullen face.

"Marshal and our army have traveled a long distance and are exhausted. Let's rest for a few days and pursue!" Lin Shupi suggested.

Lin Jianya was silent for a while and said: "When the enemy has the upper hand, something serious must have happened to retreat hastily. At this time, the advantage is on our side. We must not let the enemy retreat back to the sea."

Seeing Lin Jianya's insistence, Lin Shupi sighed and said, "Since the marshal insists on this, then I will lead 1 people to support the enemy first."

Lin Jianya nodded and said: "Alright, you must support the enemy when you go, and you must not fight hard with the enemy."

"I understand!" Lin Shupi cupped his hands, turned over and mounted the giant deer, and quickly left the city. After gathering all the soldiers and horses, he began to chase towards the north.

Zhao Jian and Shi Yue, after Lin Shupi left, each left 500 people in their company, leading the rest of the army and the main army.

When the army passed the camp before the dinosaurs, the soldiers suddenly found a dark hole nearby.

Lin Jianya hurriedly sent someone down to the cave to check. Not long after, the soldiers got up and reported. After learning that the cave could lead directly to the city, Shi and Zhao were shocked. If they go directly to the city through this tunnel, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Hmph, these monsters seem to have some brains, and they can think of such a way to attack the city." Lin Jianya snorted coldly.

"Marshal, the dinosaurs are extremely brave, we must not underestimate the enemy!" Shi Yue reminded.

Lin Jianya nodded, waved his hand, and signaled the army to move on.

A team of tens of thousands marched in batches, and the long team stretched for several miles.

A field cannon was pulled by the horned dragon and slowly followed behind the team.

Zhou Xiong, who has become a veteran, has been promoted to general manager after three years of training and outstanding performance.

The defensive battle a few days ago left a long wound on his face, which made his originally upright face look a bit hideous.

"Boss, we should be able to defeat the enemy this time!" A soldier asked.

Zhou Xiong sneered and said: "Remove the word 'ba', this time we treat people so well, we can kill the enemy with a pile of people, you all listen to me, but if anyone flees without a fight, don't blame me You're welcome."

The soldiers laughed disapprovingly when they heard the words: "President, just put your heart in your stomach, we have been brothers for so many years, that guy is not a famous man, we don't have softies here."

"Okay, this is my soldier!" Zhou Xiong said loudly.

Lin Shupi, who was one step ahead, led the army to march in a hurry. The team of 1 trotted through the jungle, throwing the large troops behind far away.

It took five days to walk from Guiyu City to the stronghold on the northern coast, but the march was much more complicated. Even if it was a quick march, Lin Shupi didn't see the stronghold until six days later.

At this time, the morale of the soldiers in the dinosaur camp was shattered, and the plague spread with an unstoppable trend. In just half a month, nearly ten thousand people had been infected with this terrible disease, and even some military officers were not spared.

At this time, in their hearts, the hearts that were once full of fantasies have become extremely terrifying, and the soldiers just want to escape from this world where the devil lives as soon as possible.

When there is no cure, there is only one end for sick soldiers, that is, they are ruthlessly killed by their companions, and their bodies are randomly cremated. The charred bodies can only stay in this foreign country forever.

In the camp, the demoralized dinosaurs moved to the ship to carry supplies dejectedly. They already regretted coming to this continent.

Although life in the Old Continent was difficult, at least they were still alive, staying here would only lead to death.

Lin Shupi used a telescope to observe the enemy's situation. Seeing the enemy preparing to evacuate and the burning corpses, he immediately understood why the group of dinosaurs had the upper hand, so he gave up the attack and returned to Yucheng.

The fact that Fang Shaoshi's expedition team was infected with an unknown plague appeared in his mind. Lin Shupi reckoned that this group of dinosaurs probably followed in Fang Shaoshi's footsteps.

Thinking of this, Lin Shupi couldn't help standing up, "God wants them to die!"

After all, he immediately ordered: "Everyone is ready, the artillery is in place."

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately took action. The field artillery dragged by the horned dragon was unloaded, pushed by four or five soldiers, and erected these artillery on a hilltop.

With the cover of the woods, the dinosaurs didn't realize that these enemy troops were approaching them at all.

Columns of soldiers lined up and waited for the order to attack.

The dinosaurs were defenseless, scattered around the stronghold, and were already within the range of the artillery.

The artillerymen quickly loaded the gunpowder shells, adjusted the angle, and waited quietly for Lin Shupi's order.

After observing for a while, Lin Shupi said in a deep voice, "Fire!"

Boom boom boom!
More than 20 field cannons spouted fire snakes, and the howling shells flew towards the scattered dinosaurs at high speed.

The sight of thunder on a sunny day startled the dinosaurs, and their commander ran out of the camp. The sound was all too familiar to him. The moment the cannon rang, he knew that humans were coming.

The whining horn sounded, and the dinosaurs ran around like headless flies.

Such a huge target is a living target for the artillery, and the artillery roars continuously, harvesting fresh lives.

Not a single shell fell could take away the lives of dozens of dinosaurs, and the soldiers who survived wailed while holding their bloody wounds.

The dinosaur man in the wild ran desperately towards the stronghold, as if he could hold his life by escaping behind that wall.

After firing hundreds of shells, the dinosaurs finally calmed down under the pressure of their respective officers.

Unable to figure out the number of enemies, they could only huddle in a small stronghold, and panic shrouded every soldier's heart.

The impact of the plague has greatly reduced the combat power of the dinosaurs, and at this moment they no longer have the previous arrogance.

Lin Bark left 2000 people lurking in the jungle and ordered them to hold branches and raise dust, creating the illusion of a large number of ambushes.

He personally led 8000 people to the city and surrounded the stronghold.

The fleet of dinosaurs on the sea can only helplessly watch their army trapped in the stronghold at this moment, but they have nothing to do.

The commander of the dinosaurs stood on the city wall and looked at the human army in the distance, his slender eyes narrowed involuntarily.

The figure that appears and disappears in the jungle in the distance clearly shows that the opponent has a large number of ambushes hiding there. As an experienced officer, it thinks that it will not fall into this simple trick of human beings to lure the enemy.
