Chapter 0541 Brutal Battle
Thinking of the old man's wretched appearance, Meng Liang felt sad. He wouldn't wash the pot for the old man, it was disgusting.
Gao Pinru had also seen the world and had a high EQ. After hearing what Meng Liang said, she understood what he meant. Meng Liang disliked her.
She didn't mean to stick to Meng Liang, so she felt that Meng Liang's dislike was unreasonable, so she frowned and said:

"Sir, I do need you, but I haven't thought about what to do."
"Haha, okay, you don't have to care about my attitude. Let's do this. When my people come, let them take you back. We seem to have an orphanage over there. Let my eldest brother arrange for you there. From now on, you will continue to take care of the orphans. You can also have someone to take care of you in the team. At least in the short term, there is still some food."
Meng Liang felt that this approach was not bad and he had done his best.
No longer interested in Gao Pinru and her daughter, Meng Liang left the village to continue scouting the terrain.
When the sky was completely bright, the vanguard arrived.
When the captain heard that Meng Liang asked him to escort the beautiful mother and daughter back, his eyes were sharp.
Needless to say, he also began to miss Gao Pinru.
Meng Liang curled his lips and thought that his wife was better.
Gao Pinru was just feminine, and Qu Jiaolan had not been developed yet. When she was developed, she would also be feminine.
Forget it, it seems that I have to find an opportunity to start the development agenda and let her become a demon.
Thinking of this, Meng Liang completely forgot about the mother and daughter.
Soon after, large troops came one after another, and Zhong Zhenshan led the team in person.
The last blocking battle was a complete failure, and Zhong Zhenshan had been brooding over it, so he wanted to participate in this operation.
When he saw Meng Liang, he asked puzzledly:
"Brother, do you think the zombie tide will really come?"
Meng Liang smiled and took him to the hill, pointing to the northeast for him to see.
At this time, the sky above is blue, while the sky in the northeast is gray and foggy. That is the flying ash and sand stirred up by the zombies gathering together.
"Brother, the zombies are here, and they are definitely less than 10 kilometers away from here!"
Meng Liang said so, which means that another blocking battle is about to start. This is not Meng Liang's own battle. It involves 20,000 soldiers. Among these soldiers, there are 18,000 men and almost 2,000 female soldiers. The average level has exceeded 80.
Under the command of Zhong Zhenshan, these people dispersed to the riverside and looked for places that could be used as positions. The first combat mission has been issued, which is to prevent the zombies from crossing the river.
The width of the river is more than ten meters, and the depth in some places reaches three meters, but in most places it is only between 2 meters and 1.5 meters.
So the use of the river water is not too great, it can only serve as a buffer.
For humans, the best battle result is to kill the zombies in the river and block their rushing time, even if it is only one or two days.
At this time, Qu Jiaolan and Lu Anke also came. If they didn't come, they would probably be separated from Meng Liang.
Of course, Meng Liang and Qu Jiaolan had a way to communicate with each other using the homophonic ring.
The key is that for Qu Jiaolan and Lu Anke, they still felt that it was safer to follow Meng Liang, and Meng Liang thought so too.
It was almost noon when the zombies arrived, all of them were level 50 zombies.
I can only say that this time the luck was good, and there were no zombies of too high a level, so although the battle was still difficult, but the zombies did not come after all by using this river to fight until night.
The river surface was already piled with corpses of zombies and living zombies, and they stepped on each other and sank into the mud. It seemed that it would be difficult to get through without filling up the river. The most important thing was that the river had a long upstream and downstream, and if you wanted to fill it up, you needed a certain number of zombies.
People didn't have time to feel the joy of victory, because the battle became more difficult at night, and the vision became bad, so they could only light torches.
This battle was not a one-sided victory at all. There were about 5 times when zombies climbed up the river and fought with humans. About 800 of the 20,000 people died, which was a good result.
After it was really dark, various strange roars finally appeared on the opposite side. These were the arrival of different small camp zombie kings.
They were called lion zombie kings, but they were actually not much different from ordinary zombies. There were hundreds or thousands of them in a square formation.
So many zombie kings were naturally very difficult to deal with. Meng Liang had to lead the team in person, rush into the zombie group, and kill these small zombie kings in advance. Otherwise, they would rush into their own positions and destroy many ordinary fighters. They had no way to fight against the small camp zombie kings, and ten against one might not work.
So this required that fighting against the zombie tide must have masters like Meng Liang and a commando team composed of masters. The strategic purpose and significance of the assault was to rush into the zombie group and kill high-level targets at a critical moment.
Meng Liang took the initiative to attack again and again. At the beginning, there were 400 people led by Meng Liang. At dawn, only 12 of the 400 people died. There was no way. This was the cruelty of war. At this time, the riverbed was basically full of zombies. The subsequent zombies began to become more and more, and they kept coming here. Seeing that there was no point in continuing to defend this river. So Meng Liang discussed with Zhong Zhenshan that they would go southwest along the river.
This direction is consistent with the main force, that is, it forms a parallel straight line relationship with the main force, and advances to the southwest together, with the purpose of blocking the zombies from contacting the main force.
When the sky really brightened, they had advanced to the southwest for almost 2 kilometers.
At this time, the other side was full of zombies, and the zombies behind them also crossed the river and began to chase from behind.
Meng Liang and his men fought and retreated, and continued to fight like this until the afternoon of the next day.
Zhong Zhenshan ordered each unit to report the number of people quickly. After hearing the result, his face turned pale. There were more than 9,800 people left, which means that 11,000 people died in this battle.
Zhong Zhenshan was very sad. He was a good and responsible person, so he would have emotions for his men.
Meng Liang could only comfort him.
"Life and death are determined by fate. Now our main force should be safely evacuating to the southwest. We protected them. This is the strategic goal. Using a small number of people to protect the main force has been the same since ancient times. We have done it, and that is victory."
What else can Zhong Zhenshan say? He sighed and looked forward to ask Meng Liang.
"Brother, how long can we hold on?"
"It's hard to say. We can hold on as long as we can. Or to put it another way, hold on until these 9,000 people are dead. I think the main force should be able to get out of the zombie encirclement, right?"
Hearing Meng Liang say this, Zhong Zhenshan's mood became even more depressed. His face was very pale and his body was shaking as if he was about to collapse.
