Chapter 67 Demolitionist, Charge!
Chapter 67 Demolition Soldier (Swelling Zombie), Charge!
"Big brother, there seem to be quite a few Luo family soldiers outside!"
"No, don't panic, stay calm, the Luo family army won't dare to charge!"
Although the bandit leader stationed at this pass was indeed somewhat flustered, he was not too panicked.
The Luo family army outside does have a large force, but they are guarding a natural barrier. With this strategically important terrain, even if the Luo family army has a large force, they can only send small groups forward, which is enough to keep these people tied down here.
Meanwhile, cavalrymen would go to the three bandit groups every day to report the news. If any of the three groups did not receive the news that day, they would immediately realize that something was wrong and send troops to this place!
The only hope this bandit leader has now is that when the three families arrive with their troops to provide support, they should bring as many soldiers as possible. Otherwise, he feels that if the reinforcements are insufficient, they might not be able to defeat the Luo family army!
"Damn, the Luo family army is really fierce! Look at their outfits, they're totally dressed like foreigners! They're really cool!"
One of the bandits covered his eyes with his hand and looked into the distance, his face full of surprise.
Although he had never seen how foreigners actually fought, he was certain that his own bandits would never fight like the Luo family army on the other side, with each of them forming columns, carrying muskets on their shoulders, and playing music while marching in unison!
Accompanied by the very familiar tune of Onion Song, the young guards marched in perfect unison toward the bandit stronghold in the distance.
Although their actions did put immense psychological pressure on the bandits, in reality, these young guards were not prepared to simply charge into the bandit stronghold.
Upon reaching the mountain pass, as the road ahead gradually narrowed, the Young Guards stopped advancing and lined up in formation.
Seeing hundreds of soldiers in uniform stop in such a neat and orderly fashion, the bandits in the village couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Although they didn't quite understand how important discipline was to the army, they knew that they had never seen any army do this in their lives!
Just from this point alone, you can see that the Luo family army is extraordinary!
The bandits on the other side seemed to be shouting something, but because of the distance, Rock couldn't hear them clearly. However, he didn't care what the bandits were shouting.
With a wave of his hand, Rock recruited a powerful suicide bomber from the system—the bloated zombie!
The bandits' stronghold wasn't particularly fortified, but without artillery, it would be quite troublesome to take it down by conventional means, even with Hojo's devastating bombs.
Although the Thunderclap Bomb has a long range and a large-angle curved trajectory, allowing it to be thrown into the bandit stronghold on the other side, its power is not great enough. Once the bandits find a place to hide, it is impossible for him to simply blast the stronghold to pieces with the Thunderclap Bomb.
But the bloated zombie is different. Even in Total War: Warhammer, if it's in a good position, a single self-destruction can take out several squads of high-level enemy troops. In reality, its self-destruction is definitely more powerful than a regular explosive charge!
"Hahaha, go! Blow up that wooden stockade ahead!"
Suppressing his nausea, Rock laughed and pointed forward. The bloated zombies he had just recruited immediately circled around the rear of the army formation and charged forward like wild bulls.
As the bloated zombie staggered toward the bandit stronghold, the bandits there paled and frantically urged everyone to fire at the monster.
In the blink of an eye, a series of gunshots, like popping beans, rang out. Large lead bullets kept hitting the bloated zombie, but apart from splattering pus and blood all over the monster, they did not cause any real damage.
Besides the bandit camp in front, even the bandits who had prepared in advance on both sides of the hillside also threw stones out, trying to smash the bloated walking corpse to death.
But these bandits smashed and shot for a long time, but it was of no use to the swollen zombie. Don't be fooled by the fact that this monster looks like it will explode at the slightest touch. This thing is actually quite resilient.
Regardless, this thing is a single monster in Total War: Warhammer. From a single-unit perspective, its vitality is definitely much stronger than that of a regular unit in formation.
In reality, Rock discovered that ordinary gunfire seemed to have no effect on the bloated zombies; their swollen, rotting flesh seemed to have a strong buffering effect.
Even now, the various rocks falling from both sides of the hillside have not had any effect on the monster.
"General, I think if we really have to blow this zombie apart, we'd probably need at least a Grand Cannon, right?"
Lu Xiong watched the bloated zombie's superior performance with a look of astonishment. He had to admit, he was also stunned by this thing.
Rock nodded and said with a smile, "Hehe, even a regular cannon probably wouldn't be able to penetrate this thing, unless you could hit it multiple times. This thing may look unremarkable, but both its destructive power and its size are far greater than you imagine!"
After fighting for half a day, the monster was still staggering and charging towards him, seemingly unaffected.
Seeing this, many bandits could no longer sit still.
"Brother, how come this thing is so hard to kill?"
"Damn it, the Luo family army can actually command such evil zombies?"
Hearing his men arguing beside him, the bandit leader of the village, while loading powder into his musket, cursed, "Damn it! I don't believe it, does this thing really not kill?"
"Brothers, don't panic! I want to see what the Luo family army is up to with just this one living corpse they sent!"
"Do they really think they can break through my village with this disgusting lump of rotten flesh?"
Hearing their leader speak like that, the surrounding bandits regained their confidence, and many even stopped firing, watching the bloated corpse as if it were a spectacle.
They were full of curiosity. To be honest, they really couldn't figure out how the Luo family army was going to deal with them by creating such a disgusting monster.
Could it be that Luo's army is actually planning to use this thing to disgust them to death?
To be honest, when the bloated zombies came close, the stench that hit them made many bandits vomit on the spot.
If Luo's army really had this idea, then the bandits had to admit that their plan had succeeded!
Just as they were about to reach the village gate, under the curious gaze of a group of bandits, the swollen walking corpse suddenly leaped up!
Who would have thought that this giant corpse, which had been soaked to nearly three meters in size, would still possess such agility? Is this the legendary "don't judge a book by its cover"?
But then the bandits realized that their end was near!
When the monster crashed onto the city gate, its soft, rotting flesh made a splattering sound. The bandits, already dizzy from the stench, felt even more disgusted upon hearing this sound.
But in the next second, that horrific lump of rotten flesh suddenly exploded!
It was as if several large barrels of gunpowder had exploded at the entrance of the village. The terrifying explosion instantly left a crater in the spot, and countless pieces of rotten flesh and bones flew in all directions like bullets under the action of the shock wave.
The enormous impact and shockwave caused many bandits to bleed from their seven orifices and fall to the ground with a thud. Many other bandits nearby were torn to shreds by the flying bone fragments and flesh, as if they had been ripped apart by a heavy howitzer!
At the same time, under such a violent impact, the originally sturdy wooden village and walls were blown away by the terrifying force!
Like dominoes, the entire wooden wall collapsed in unison. Many bandits standing behind the wall had just been thrown out and hadn't even had time to get up when they were horrified to see the wooden wall crashing down on them, crushing them on the spot, and a series of sounds of bones shattering rang out.
The explosion blew away all the surrounding snow, even causing avalanches on the slopes on both sides. Despite the distance, Rock still felt a stench so strong it made him want to vomit. "Holy crap! Damn it, the shockwave seems even stronger when this thing explodes in such a confined space like a mountain pass!"
Seeing that avalanches had been triggered on both sides of the mountainside, Rock was also very frightened.
Fortunately, their troops did not rush into the narrow mountain pass, so they were not affected by the avalanche. But judging from the current situation, the bandits who were deployed on both sides of the mountainside were probably all buried by the snow!
"Well, this saves us the trouble of dealing with the Skaven!"
After the stench subsided, Rock fanned himself and said with a smile.
He had only planned to use the bloated zombies to blast a large hole in the village in front of him, and then have the Skaven, who were good at climbing, go around to the two sides of the hillside and take care of the bandits defending the hillside.
Then, the ratmen can use the height advantage of the hillside to throw bombs down, killing the surviving bandits with dimensional stone bombs.
However, looking at it now, he feels that he doesn't need to be so complicated.
The entire village collapsed, and avalanches occurred on both sides of the mountain. If the bandits could still maintain their fighting strength under such circumstances, then the world has gone completely mad.
Given the current situation, let alone a bunch of bandits defending it, even if you brought over a squad of elite Astral Army soldiers from the 40k ranks to defend it, they would probably be overwhelmed by a combo attack.
Once the avalanche had completely stopped, Rock drew his saber, pointed it forward, and shouted to the soldiers beside him, "Soldiers, attack! Take this pass!"
