When Zhang Bao saw the four Type 69 tanks, his face immediately turned deathly pale,
“Tanks!!!! They actually have tanks!! How is it that they have things like them?!”
On land, tanks were the kings of modern weaponry. As long as the target was hit, one shot fired by the tank was enough to turn even an Evolver like Zhang Bao into mincemeat. The 2 battalions of elite troops from Ning Guang County would be almost completely crushed once the 4 tanks began their assault, whilst those remaining would be slaughtered by Yue Zhong and his men.
Niu Sheng ran to Zhang Bao’s side, his face deathly pale as he exclaimed,
“Brother Bao! Let’s quickly escape!! If we stay here any longer, we will become Yue Zhong’s captives!”
He had already noticed that there were military vehicles mounted with machine guns coming towards them, indicating that Yue Zhong’s main forces were now hurrying over.
If Yue Zhong’s main forces managed to reach them, the Ning Guang County soldiers would have absolutely no way of escaping.
Zhang Bao glanced at the army vehicles and tanks that were noisily approaching. He was very clear that his side didn’t possess the necessary strength to even defend against a single attack from Yue Zhong’s forces. Eventually, he gritted his teeth and made a prompt decision to abandon the elite soldiers from the two companies as he escaped together with Niu Sheng into the wilderness.
When the Ning Guang County soldiers saw that their two leaders were escaping, they, who already had low morale, lost all of their remaining willpower, causing their force to completely collapse as they escaped one after another.
“Throw down your weapons, we won’t kill those who surrender!! Surrender and you shall be spared!!”
Yue Zhong’s forces closed in on the despairing soldiers, managing to round up a huge portion of them. However, some of the luckier ones managed to evade capture as they ran away.
Due to the outstanding efforts of Guo Quan and his team, Yue Zhong’s side had only lost 5 men in the throes of battle, yet they had caused 98 casualties on the opposing side, captured 687 of the remaining enemies and even killed an Agility-based Evolver. They had even gained 2 whole companies’ worth of equipment and a large number of vehicles.
“Battalion Commander! What do you need me for?”
Liu Erhei shouted as he excitedly ran forward towards Yue Zhong.Just now, he had led some soldiers to chase and round up those Ning Guang County runaways, causing him to become elated about his success.
Yue Zhong said heavily,
“Bring some people and take the captives back to town. I’m taking our forces out to take down Ning Guang County. Until I’m back, you have to defend Mahogany Town well! All you need to do is coordinate with Chen Ming to protect the town and you will have rendered a great merit!”
Liu Erhei’s greatest strength was his ability to follow orders,
“Yes! Battalion Commander!”
Yue Zhong lightly nodded before bringing Zhang Niujiang and Xiong Zheng with him. Both warriors were armed to the teeth. Their subordinates drove the four Type 69 tanks and a large number of other military vehicles that were fully loaded with arms as they sped towards Ning Guang County.
In the current era, the strong devoured the weak. The attack by the 2 battalions from Ning Guang County had revealed that their soldiers lacked training. Their morale wasn’t high, nor was their fighting spirit strong. Adding to the fact that they lacked heavy weaponry, Yue Zhong couldn’t resist the desire to obtain this tasty piece of meat.
When Clear Wind Camp was at its weakest, Ning Guang County had tried to take advantage of the fact to swallow them up. Yue Zhong now wanted to turn the tables and make use of this chance to subdue them instead. As long as he could obtain Ning Guang County’s food and people, Yue Zhong’s forces would grow tremendously.
Ning Guang County was not like Qing Yuan County with a huge city wall surrounding it. However, to prevent possible assaults by zombies or Mutant Beasts, there were many tall wooden fences that surrounded the roads leading to the main town.
At the same time, they had garrisoned soldiers who were in charge of keeping watch along the main road.
A Ning Guang County soldier, who was carrying a Type 03 Rifle, was currently yawning from time to time. As he lazily gazed into the distance, he suddenly straightened his eyes and hollered loudly,
“Attack! There’s an enemy vehicle fleet approaching!!”
The other 7 soldiers on duty immediately stood up and looked into the distance. Upon confirmation of the enemy, their faces turned pale as they shouted,
“Tank! There is actually a tank!!”
In the distance, four steel behemoths were constantly getting closer. Following behind the tanks, there was a long line of military vehicles fitted with various machine guns.
Right as the eight soldiers were considering whether to escape or not, a young man carrying a white flag strode up to the 8 soldiers and spoke in a manner that was neith
