: Day 487: Landing in Suez

After a day of preparation, Li Yuanhong finally prepared all the supplies, and the attack on Cairo finally kicked off.
Li Yuanhong didn't plan to attack directly from the land. He would cross the desert on land and face the enemy's obstruction. Li Yuanhong planned to take shortcuts directly from the sea and kill directly.
On the day that Li Yuanhong's fleet set sail, a scorpion team came to the place where Bester was blocking that day. The scorpions kept rumbling in the sand, and finally only found some broken bones and shrouds.
When these scorpions disappeared, a group of hyenas appeared again. These hyenas also kept searching in the sand. They found fewer things. Eventually these hyenas also disappeared in the desert.
Similarly, at the Sun Temple, a group of kobolds came. These kobolds found the underground temple, but they only saw the gods with their eyes removed. As for the blood stains in the hall, after a few days of wind and sand, they basically all It was covered up, and just like that, these kobolds left with basically nothing.
And Li Yuanhong's fleet also encountered trouble, that is, the Red Sea's violent temper and numerous hidden reefs.
Originally, Li Yuanhong planned to take a boat to speed up. The Red Sea’s temper was very violent. It was clear tomorrow morning, but at noon, it was overcast and windy, but fortunately, except for the strong wind, there was not much rainfall here. It made Li Yuanhong less suffering from the rain. There was no alternative. Li Yuanhong had to go to a port to avoid the storm for almost a while. As a result, he was expected to take a two-day trip. As a result, Li Yuanhong walked for four days.
When Li Yuanhong arrived at the entrance of the Suez Canal, Li Yuanhong abandoned the boat and landed. The landing site was chosen in Suez. This is a famous seaport. Before the opening of the Suez Canal, this was an important commercial port and military port in Egypt. When the Suez Canal was opened Later, with the increasing development of economy, trade and transportation, the port became more prosperous.
However, after the end of the world, this place has become a paradise for zombies. Most of the ships still moored in the port are already rotten. This is mainly due to the excessive salt content of the Red Sea, which is very corrosive to ships. Descaling and painting, corrosion will not be so fast, but without anyone taking care of them, these ships quickly corroded away.
In addition, there are still many zombies wandering in the port. The merchants and boat workers before the end of the world have become an identity at the moment of the end of the world, that is, the zombies. Maybe this is the only time God has given mankind an equal opportunity, but this equal opportunity The price is too high.
Ships are close to the port and need to be cautious. Although those rotten ships are like tofu dregs, which can be broken at the touch of a touch, Li Yuanhong did not want to make any mistakes in the warships that survived the end of the world.
Approaching the shore carefully, the sound of the ship moving attracted the attention of the zombies on the shore, turning their heads to look at these tall ships.
"Attention archers, one will use bows and arrows to destroy the zombies on the shore at a long distance. The landing ship will be ready, and the zombies on the shore will be cleaned up and landed immediately. The naval guns of each fleet are ready for land support!" The order was issued from Li Yuanhong's mouth. It was not the first time for such a port war, so it was already familiar.
Since this is not his own country, Li Yuanhong has no scruples about firing guns. Although many Arab-style buildings on the shore seem to be some years old, Li Yuanhong does not care about the protection of foreign cultural relics. Li Yuanhong now cares more about the lives of his soldiers. .
As orders were issued, the attack soon began. Those alien zombies, who had not understood what these ships were doing, were killed one by one by the bows and arrows shot down from the ship, and then the landing craft began to sail to the shore. Soon the army landed and started cleaning the scattered zombies on the dock.
Just as the army was clearing the dock, suddenly there was a mess of corpse throats in the distance, and a large group of zombies came to the dock from all directions, as if these zombies were waiting for humans to come ashore, so as to encircle humans.
However, Li Yuanhong had prepared the artillery on each ship for this, and with an order, he fired artillery shells at all junctions on the dock.
Due to the great power of the naval guns, not only the zombies that rushed over were blown into the sky, but the glass of the houses on both sides of the street was also shattered. What's more, the house and the zombies were blown to pieces, and the house was suddenly destroyed. The house collapsed and the dust lifted up.
Li Yuanhong didn't care about the destructive power of the shells at this time. What Li Yuanhong cares about now is that the reaction of these zombies is a bit abnormal. These zombies seem to have planned to encircle and suppress their own troops, but these zombies are not smart enough to know how to lure the enemy into this strategy. However, since the zombies have premeditated, there is a leading zombie commander here, and this zombie is very likely to know his every move, so where does this zombie see him?
Li Yuanhong took a telescope and carefully observed the surrounding buildings, and suddenly a building fell into Li Yuanhong's sight.
It is a palace-like building, the iconic Arab dome building. This is not the point. The point is that there are two tall minarets on both sides of the building. These minarets are higher than all the surrounding buildings, which will protect the Suez Canal. The entrance to the sea was completely included in his monitoring range.
Although Li Yuanhong did not see whether there were zombies in the spire, Li Yuanhong felt the surveillance gaze from inside the spire.
Li Yuanhong smiled slightly, don't think that it is an ancient building, I dare not explode it, this is not a Chinese civilization building, it will explode.
"Commander Fu, have you seen the building?" Li Yuanhong stopped Fu Chuanzhi who was directing the shelling, and gestured to the white dome building with his head.
"I see, there should be a temple! What's wrong?" Fu Chuanzhi didn't know what Li Yuanhong was doing to show him the building.
"Adjust two heavy cannons and blow up that building, including the spires on both sides!" Li Yuanhong said.
"Blasted? That's an ancient building, isn't it a pity that it blew up!"
"There may be giant zombies hidden there. We are surrounded by zombies. It is estimated that the zombies there are commanding."
"What? Where are the giant zombies hidden?" Fu Chuanzhi did not expect that the giant zombies would be hidden under his nose. In the past, giant zombies were far away from the battlefield. They could hide as far as they could, for fear of being accidentally affected by the war. Today this giant is obviously a bit too guts.
"I guess, but I think it should be the same." Li Yuanhong said.
"Okay, I get it!"
Fu Chuanzhi didn’t say much, he just adjusted the artillery bombardment. Only this time, Fu Chuanzhi did not adjust two guns, but directly adjusted four guns. At the same time, he dispatched two planes. When everything was ready, Fu Chuanzhi personally issued an attack order. Suddenly, four missiles and four heavy artillery shells directly landed on the building. The milky-white building was immediately enveloped in red flames. The white stones were brought into the air by the artillery fire, and the two spires broke directly. It hit the ground heavily, causing a cloud of dust.
After the first wave of attacks, Fu Chuanzhi did not stop, and then the second wave followed. Fu Chuanzhi heard the roar of the zombies, but then the roar was covered by the sound of the bomb explosion.
Fu Chuanzhi called for several attacks in succession, directly turning the white building into ruins, and it was still the kind of ruins where there was only rubble on the ground, and no main building could stand.
As the white buildings were bombed, the corpse group began to appear in chaos, especially those zombies that were disturbed by the sound of explosions everywhere, like headless flies, hitting east and west.
Seeing the changes in the group of corpses, Li Yuanhong knew that he was right, but he didn’t know how many zombies were killed in the bombing, but looking at the white building, it had completely turned into rubble, and Li Yuanhong didn’t even bother to look for it. The corpse under the shattered bricks.
As the zombies lose their command, the next battle will be much easier. The shield soldiers withstood the attack of the zombies in front. Archers and snipers shot and blocked the zombies in higher buildings, keeping the zombies firmly in control. The streets then gradually eroded, and the entire battle lasted until the sun went down before it stopped.
After a battle, the city was originally a prosperous city. Now most of the buildings have turned into rubble, mainly because there are zombies hidden in many buildings. Li Yuanhong directly exploded for safety, so the attack speed is very fast, but The destructive power of the city is also great.
When the night came, Li Yuanhong looked at the map and thought about the next move to Cairo, while Fu Chuanzhi was counting today's results.
Although Suez is regarded as the largest city in Egypt, its population is only less than 500,000. This also includes many workers on the cargo ships that come here for transportation. This number of people is destined to not have many zombies.
Fu Chuanzhi, who was accustomed to seeing zombies ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of zombies in China, was a small scene to capture Suez. If Li Yuanhong was eager to attack Cairo, Fu Chuanzhi would not waste so many shells.
You must know that producing shells in the last days is not an easy task. In normal times, Li Yuanhong counts every shell carefully. Unexpectedly, Li Yuanhong is so optimistic today that he almost leveled the entire city.
"Commander Fu, next I will lead the army to attack Cairo directly. You build a temporary base here, ready to support me in the air at any time, what do you think?" Li Yuanhong suddenly looked up at Fu Chuanzhi.
"This, is it too dangerous to go deep alone? We don't know anything about Cairo now. If there are too many enemies there, it is not very dangerous!" Fu Chuanzhi persuaded.
"Time does not wait for people. We have been delayed for too long here. We must speed up and strive to completely win Cairo this month. Then we will move to Australia and South America." Li Yuanhong frowned deeply. The task that Naga gave him was too difficult, and now Li Yuanhong could only rush into it and couldn't help him anymore.
