one step closer to the end

"Are corpses so smart?"

The chestnut man became suspicious, but Zhao Guanren shook his head and said, "Ordinary corpses don't have this kind of IQ. Demon generals have to practice for a long time to become smart, including Ye Yunchen, and they should still be in the main force. I'm afraid that something strange will appear again!"

"That's not right..."

The chestnut man frowned and said, "Even if a human being is the commander, he won't know that we are waiting for the boat to cross the river, unless there is a little corpse in the team to inform us, so that we can be properly trapped here to death." , otherwise it would be too coincidental!"

"But even if there is a little corpse man, it can't communicate with the devil..."

Zhao Guanren looked back at the distant city, and said worriedly: "We can cross the river without a boat, but the speed will be greatly reduced. The narrowest part of the river is also thousands of meters long. At least three thousand-meter-long iron cables are needed. Two wooden towers will do!"

"I know you have a good brain..."

Chestnut man said suddenly: "As long as you let my family cross the river, I won't have any wages for the next three years, and I can't help here. I'll tell Feng Linjun to come over to kill the corpse man. Think about it carefully." Countermeasures, I know you can do it!"

"Tell Feng Linjun not to move, just ask Tuan Lian to deal with the corpses, take shields and spears..."

Zhao Guanren hurriedly gave instructions, and the chestnut man immediately jumped on the horse and galloped away, but Yu Jiaolong stared at his back and said, "Master! Although I can't see it, I have a strange feeling that something is following him." Him, and... you!"

"Damn! Don't scare me..."

Zhao Guanren hurriedly opened his soul-chasing eyes, but found nothing on the chestnut man, and then looked at himself before and after, but still found nothing, he said depressedly: "Xiaojiao! Are you a corpse?" People eat too much, what kind of adverse reactions occur?"

"I can't put it into words, it's just a vague feeling..."

Yu Jiaolong shook his head helplessly, and then used the tail of the snake to blow away a few corpses that climbed up. Zhao Guanren said again: "Xiaojiao! Go and get the warship in front, and if there are other ships, pull it up together." Come here, beware of corpse fish yourself!"

"I am the overlord of Jiangli, no one can hurt me..."

Yu Jiaolong plunged back into the river, and dragged several official ships and merchant ships over one after another. Tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops also rushed forward, putting shields and door panels in front of them, and lined up on the river bank. As soon as they landed, they stabbed them with a single shot, and all the crossbows and hunting bows were in place.

"Come here from the Ministry of Industry, don't fucking stand around..."

Zhao Guanren hastily called a group of officials, and ordered: "Immediately arrange for civilians to board the boat and cross the river, and build a bridge on both sides. There must be a bridge hole under the bridge to prevent the river from overflowing the bridge deck, and it must not enter the water. It's been polluted!"

"My lord!"

A servant of the Ministry of Industry said anxiously: "The tools in the city are limited, and the iron cables cannot be made too thick. If there are not enough boats to serve as floating bridges, we are worried that we will not be able to bear the weight of a kilometer long. Besides, there is not enough iron material, so we must keep iron pots. Let's cook!"

"Why did you become the servant of the Ministry of Industry, you went through the back door..."

Zhao Guanren said angrily: "If one iron chain is not enough, make a few more, if iron is not enough, add copper, if copper is not enough, use hemp rope, there are so many women who are idle to eat dry food, from now on they will all rub hemp rope for me, I also dismantled all the door panels and beams, and used all that can be used!"

"Yes!"

A group of officials ran away in a hurry, but Zhao Guanren became more and more angry when he saw them, so he simply recruited a group of experienced peasants and asked them to join the Ministry of Industry as officials on the spot. They are reliable.

It was completely dark, but the lights on both sides of the long river were still brightly lit. The peasants carried stones and wood like a long dragon. The city walls of Rongma County were demolished by them, and the women were also busy, serving delicious meals, Continuously sent to the front line.

"master!"

Qiu Ning and the other women ran over from behind, a wooden shed with a high platform was built by the river, Zhao Guanren was sitting on the high platform eating noodles, and Yu Jiaolong had already disappeared.

"The battle outside the valley is over..."

Qiu Ning jumped up and said, "But there are still many corpses being crushed under the corpses. The soldiers can only guard the edge of the cliff in shifts, and the scouts can only be released after dawn, but there is a kind of corpse change. Eagle, almost hurt the general of the Feng Lin army!"

"It's all small things..."

Zhao Guanren put down the bowl and said: "I've been thinking about who is controlling the army of corpses by the river, why does it know to block the fleet and prevent us from crossing the river, and Bai Bai and Xue Ji must have encountered a big problem, otherwise There will be no delay until now!"

"There should be no ghosts anymore, what did Yu Jiaolong say..."

Qiu Ning sat beside him, and thoughtfully helped him light a cigarette. Zhao Guanren frowned and said, "Yu Jiaolong said that something followed me and Lizi, but we didn't find anything, so I was wondering if it was something. The reason why we were poisoned by corpses?"

"impossible?"

A group of people looked at him in astonishment, but Zhao Guanren stood up again and said: "I have done what I have to do. After crossing the river, let Chen Guanxi be enthroned as emperor. If the punishment of God still refuses to let mankind go, let's do it well." Get ready to live in Mobei!"

After Zhao Guanren finished speaking, he walked down, and the chestnut man followed silently with his knife in his hand. At this time, the simple stone bridge on the river bank had been laid. Beams serve as pile foundations, and the heavy city gates also become bridge decks.

"Chestnut! Do you have any strange feelings, such as something staring at you all the time..."

Zhao Guanren walked up the stone bridge with a flashlight, and the chestnut man followed behind and said softly: "No! If there is anything I can't detect, it must be the black monster I saw after being poisoned. I feel that it has always remained in my heart Didn't leave, seems to be looking for a chance to kill me!"

"Ok!"

Zhao Guanren stopped on the bridge made of the city gate, looked at the turbulent river and said, "If it's the sequelae left by the corpse poison, I'm not too worried. No matter how powerful the corpse is, it's a man-made disaster. The most feared thing is a natural disaster. If the upstream floods, it will be over!"

"I think so..."

The chestnut man suddenly frowned and said: "If something really follows us, it will know what we are doing here. If I were it, it would definitely send more corpses to jump into the river and destroy the stone bridge we built. Only in this way can we cut off our retreat!"

"Makes sense!"

Zhao Guanren subconsciously raised his flashlight and took a photo towards the dark upstream, and suddenly found that the water was densely packed with human heads, like a flood that burst a bank...

Chapter 0659

"The dead man is coming! The dead man is coming..."

The shrill shouts resounded on both sides of the river bank. The soldiers who were finishing their meal hurriedly put down their rice bowls, picked up their weapons and rushed towards the river, only to see that the upstream river was already covered with human heads, and there were still a large number of corpses lying in the water. The thumping has already made the river muddy.

"Damn! We are really being followed..."

Zhao Guanren cursed angrily. Countless corpses were like a large piece of black garbage, drifting towards them quickly along the river. He couldn't see the exact number. How much.

"Blow up the bridge! Otherwise we won't be able to stop..."

The chestnut man showed a rare dignified look. The stone bridge that was just built happened to be intercepted in the middle of the Rongma River. All the corpses going down the river would be blocked by the bridge, but the stone bridge was only three meters wide. Standing in a row can't kill them.

"Can't blow up! If we blow up, we really have no way to survive..."

Zhao Guanren said furiously: "The bastards are delaying our time, the main army of corpses must be coming towards us, and they have probably accelerated their speed, we must cross the river within two days, otherwise all 300 million people will die! "

"You are the boss, you have the final say..."

The chestnut man drew his sword and waited for it. Fortunately, certain fortifications had been piled up on both sides of the river. Zhao Guanren quickly ordered to strengthen the defense. Sandbags and stones were piled up on the bank.

"Hoohoho..."

The corpses rushed ashore continuously, and the soldiers all hid behind the low wall and stabbed them, but a large number of corpses were blocked by the stone bridge, silting together like a blocked sewer, some climbed directly onto the bridge, some They climbed to the other side of the river, and soon blocked the entire river.

"Hold it! Hold it all for me..."

The militiamen were all so killed that their eyes were red, and they also knew that there was no way out. If the corpses were allowed to break through the river bank blockade and go straight to the rear of Rongma County, if millions of people bombed their nests at once, it would be a catastrophe. An unstoppable disaster.

"Quick! Build a second line of defense, and all the civilians will come to me..."

Zhao Guanren raised the steel knife and yelled. The low wall was flattened by the corpses in the blink of an eye, and the corpses behind could jump over by stepping on the corpses. Two waves of attacks can break through their defenses.

"Woo~"

The women who delivered the meal were all scared and cried. They finally saw the horrible corpse with their own eyes, and all of them fled to the city like shit.

Corpsemen are completely different from ordinary people. Once someone is scratched by them, they will quickly turn into corpses around their comrades. No matter how tight the formation is, it will be chaotic, and the pressure on the soldiers' hearts is also great. They can only fight for about twenty years. Within minutes, the line of defense began to retreat continuously.

"My lord! You can't stop it like this, just look up..."

A general grabbed Zhao Guanren anxiously. The upstream river bank had already been set on fire by rockets, and there were still countless corpses floating in the river. The scale was far larger than the first batch that just arrived. If there were not 30 people, there might be more than 20. It exceeded Zhao Guanren's expectations.

"My lord! Blow up the bridge, let them roll downstream..."

All the generals surrounded them in a hurry, but Zhao Guanren said angrily, "Don't blow up! There is a lake downstream, they can still climb up after entering the lake, and they can reach Rongma County in two hours. By then we will be more dead than we are now." Hurry up!"

"Are we really going to be trapped here..."

The generals looked at him desperately. They couldn’t escape even if they wanted to. The valley to the west was filled with corpses, and the north and east were blocked by rivers and lakes. The only barrier left was the mountains in the south. It is the world of corpses.

"My lord! A line of defense can no longer be defended, and the corpses have already filled up the fortification..."

A general rushed over quickly, countless corpses had piled up on the river bank, the soldiers had changed from flat stabs to feint attacks, and even the short spearmen had all joined the battle, stabbing the corpses who jumped over the wall from the gaps, and the simple The stone bridge is also in danger of collapsing.

"Archers cover, withdraw to the second line of defense..."

Zhao Guanren could only give the order unwillingly. In fact, the soldiers had been fighting all day, and their physical strength had already reached their limit. If the common people hadn't volunteered to help defend, the first line of defense would have been breached faster, but the second line The line of defense probably won't last long.

How to do?

Zhao Guanren is now one head and two big. Even if he was killed, he would have been tricked by the zombies. Even if they could block the wave of water corpses in front of them, the army of corpses would arrive in two days. They had no time to go Build a bridge across the river.

"what!!!"

A burst of chaotic screams alarmed everyone, and more than a dozen large corpse fish came ashore. They are different from corpses with teeth and claws. Each corpse fish has mutated, and the intestines in its belly have become tentacles. Enough to attack a large swath.

"Chestnut! Get rid of the corpse fish..."

Zhao Guanren rushed up quickly with a knife. Only a master can deal with such a thing, but within a few breaths, the corpse fish made a big hole in the defense line, and a large number of corpses rushed into the position, and it happened immediately. The chaos of pushing and squeezing.

"Steady! The people behind retreat, and the people in front attack..."

Zhao Guanren rushed into the formation and hacked desperately. Li Zinan and Jin Wuming also did their part, rushing into the corpses like two tigers. The breached gap.

"Hurry up and change! Reserve team, don't stand around stupidly..."

Zhao Guanren kept hacking and killing the corpses that came pouring in. The blood of the corpses flew in front of his eyes like a fountain, and all the corpses were chopped into sashimi by them. If it is, the two great masters can't stop it.

"Chestnut! You stop and don't move..."

Zhao Guanren suddenly yelled, and the chestnut man slammed his sword and sent several corpses flying away. He turned his head and looked at Zhao Guanren in confusion. But the phantom flashed behind him and then disappeared.

"Chestnut! There is something behind you..."

Zhao Guanren slashed over in shock, but felt nothing at all. When he stirred up another pool of corpse blood, the phantom behind the chestnut man disappeared again, so he could only frowned and said, "Chestnut! Sprinkle it with corpse blood!" Get behind me and see if you can kill them!"

"Bang~"

The chestnut man stomped his feet neatly, and stabbed with the black knife almost at the same time. He made three moves in a blink of an eye, but he quickly withdrew the knife and frowned and said, "A figure can be seen through the black blood. I It disappeared after being stabbed, I don’t know if it’s dead or not!”

"Damn! What kind of evil thing..."

Zhao Guanren looked around in bewilderment, and couldn't find any clues with his soul-hunting eyes, but the soldiers had re-solidified the line of defense, and his leadership also played a role in boosting morale, but a large number of corpses kept filling up the line of defense.

"Boom~"

suddenly!

The simple stone bridge was crushed at once, and the congested corpses were rushed downstream by the swell of the river, as if the old dung that had been constipated for many years suddenly spewed out. Some even cheered.

"Oh~ I'm completely out of food now..."

Panting, Zhao Guanren lowered his knife. Although the corpses were rushed downstream, they could handle the rest of the corpses. It wouldn't take long for the corpses to come back and burst out from behind Rongma County's ass. They were still the same. A dead end.

"Damn it! I'm fighting with you..."

Zhao Guanren suddenly gritted his teeth hard, ran to the back of the formation and shouted loudly: "Quick! Let all the people leave the city, only take dry food and ropes, and don't want anything else. Let's swim across the river directly. Make up the stone bridge on the embankment!"

"..."

Everyone looked at him in bewilderment, thinking that Zhao Guanren had gone crazy in a hurry, but Zhao Guanren's unquestionable attitude made them follow orders.

"Brothers, work hard, we will be safe when we get to the other side of the river..."

Zhao Guanren picked up the loudspeaker to boost morale. Although everyone was unimaginable, the militiamen stepped up their offensive and began to gradually advance towards the river. Although there are still a large number of corpses flopping about in the river, as long as they don't go ashore, the threat is not great. .

"Is the prince crazy? How could he swim over..."

A large number of people rushed out from Rongma County. Just crossing the bridge was a huge project, but out of trust and power in Zhao Guanren, the people could only come to the battlefield with ropes on their backs, and witnessed the soldiers fighting with their own eyes. People also volunteered to step forward to replace them.

"My lord! The bridge is repaired..."

Someone shouted in front, and a large number of shieldmen immediately rushed to the stone bridge, stood in a row and stabbed the corpses blocked by the stone bridge, but at this time, there were not many corpses to be seen, and a large number of them sank at the bottom of the water. I couldn't jump up for a while.

"Feng Lin's army crossed the bridge to protect the people. The people tore down the city wall, and each carried a big stone..."

Zhao Guanren continued to issue orders. Anyway, they were many and powerful, and Feng Linjun quickly began to cross the bridge in an orderly manner. They trotted at a speed that was not slow at all, and each of them carried a civilian man, and they ran over in half an hour. Tens of thousands of people.

"Women and children cross the bridge first, then pave two more bridges with stones, and you are not allowed to cross the bridge empty-handed..."

Zhao Guanren's orders were passed on continuously. The big stones were the tolls for crossing the river. The city walls were dismantled at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the children picked up the big stones. The stones were thrown into the river continuously. The contractor is commanding by the river.

"Line in line, don't crowd, run across the river after throwing stones..."

Zhao Guanren stood at the head of the bridge and yelled. The strength of the crowd was fully reflected at this time. The common people forcibly threw two stone dams, poured soil and filled them up to form a simple stone bridge, which greatly increased the number of people. The speed of crossing the river.

"My lord! The corpse man in the lake should be here soon..."

The generals gathered anxiously, time passed quickly, more than two hours passed in the blink of an eye, but Zhao Guanren lit a cigarette and said with a light smile, "Prick your ears up and listen carefully, before dawn they will Can't make it through!"

"Boom blah blah..."

suddenly!

A burst of earth-shaking explosions sounded from a distance, and even half the sky was burned red, and soon there was another sound of a torrent like a bursting embankment.

"Break the embankment? You wouldn't blow up the embankment, would you..."
