On the tenth day of June in the twenty-fourth year of Tai'an, the sun was shining brightly.
Good weather should bring good mood, but the rancid smell in the air makes people unable to feel happy.
It reminds people all the time that it is the end of the world and everything may be destroyed.
But in Yuanyang City, because of Zhao Yanxun's existence, people's mood has gradually changed from despair at the beginning to hope for the future.
Yuanyang North City, inside Wengcheng, is bustling with activity.
The excitement here belongs exclusively to soldiers.
In the palace, except for the guards on duty, all the other guards gathered in Wengcheng.
One hundred sets of newly made bamboo armors have all been delivered, and these bamboo armors have been delivered to individuals.
The current situation is that Lin Dagui leads the palace with thirty front-guard guards, all of whom are issued with full sets of iron armor.
The remaining armor was distributed to Baihu, the Guards Division, and Qianhu and Baihu, the Soldiers and Horses Division.
According to Zhao Yanxun's idea, the armor still has to be made slowly, and will be distributed from top to bottom in the future.
Soldiers at the lower level are issued bamboo armor, starting from the Guards Department and then to those in the Soldiers and Horses Department.
Even if the requirements are lowered to bamboo armor, there is no shortage of materials for this thing, but it is not that fast to make, mainly limited by the number and proficiency of the bamboo craftsmen.
But it is foreseeable that the production speed will be faster and faster in the future, and we will be able to supply it by then.
The suspension bridge outside the city gate had been put up early, and many zombies had already appeared on it.
Compared with before, the density of zombies outside the city has become smaller, so there are not many zombies on the suspension bridge at the moment.
On the city wall, the soldiers of the Military and Horse Division were all standing on the edge of the city wall, waiting to watch the excitement.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun was standing in front of the inner city gate tower, looking at the guards below who were slowly opening the outer city gate.
The sound of "rumbling" sounded, and everyone held their breath.
The sound of the city gate opening attracted the zombies on the suspension bridge, and even more the zombies outside the moat.
Boom, boom, boom... At this moment, someone was beating the gong inside the city gate, just to attract the zombies over faster.
"Ouch...ow..."
Zombies dressed in rags and covered in filth began to approach from the suspension bridge, and their speed became faster and faster.
One or two...ten...twenty...
The zombies passed through the suspension bridge and then rushed into the urn city.
When more than fifty zombies broke into the urn city, the rumbling sound sounded again, which was the guards closing the city gate.
When the zombies who rushed into the city gate saw so many living people in Wengcheng, they all rushed forward frantically.
A hundred meters of armored guards were ready at this moment. They lined up in a neat queue and were ready with their swords raised.
These number 100 guards are all those Zhao Yanxun will upgrade soon.
Now he has 500 upgrade quotas, and he plans to use 400 of them to upgrade the guards, and the remaining 100 to the officers of the Military and Horse Department.
In this way, he can improve the combat effectiveness of his guards and deepen his control over the soldiers and horses.
Zhao Yanxun will use the skill points gained from killing zombies today to upgrade the officers of the Military and Horse Division. At this moment, hundreds of households in these general banners are waiting.
Below, when the zombies rushed over, these upgraded guards all burst into high fighting spirit.
I saw them holding up their knives and rushing towards the zombies on the opposite side without any intention of backing down.
"kill!"
The zombies of the guards approached quickly, and soon the two waves of "people" collided with each other, and more than a dozen guards were knocked over immediately.
These zombies are extremely fast, and the huge impact they bring is enough to knock over these strengthened guards.
But the price the zombies paid was that five of them were killed in the first collision.
Seeing the fallen guard, these zombies immediately rushed up, opened their big mouths and bit down.
But facing the bamboo armor, their bite strength was basically not strong enough, and the guards' bamboo armor guarded them tightly.
But being able to prevent it does not mean full protection, so the guards nearby rushed to the rescue, while the guard who fell to the ground fluttered repeatedly to avoid being bitten.
The zombies that attacked the fallen guards were the second batch to be chopped to death. They were easier to kill than the zombies that were running around.
The soldiers on the city wall watched the guards below fighting with the zombies, and all of them felt anxious.
They thought they didn't have the courage to fight zombies, so when they saw a guard being knocked down, they couldn't bear to laugh.
For them, having the courage to fight zombies is beyond human reach.
On the city wall, Zhao Yanxun felt a little disappointed when he saw the guards knocked down.
Although these first-level warriors are much stronger than ordinary people in terms of combat persistence and fighting will, their absolute strength is still better than that of hunting zombies.
In other words, in a one-on-one situation, even guards wearing armor cannot guarantee that they can defeat zombies 100% of the time.
To be able to defeat a zombie is not just to chop off his head, but also to ensure that you are not injured.
But Zhao Yanxun also knows that having these first-level warriors is better than not having them before.
Even if one-on-one combat is not possible, the worst thing is to send more people to participate in the battle. It is better than having to do it all by yourself before.
In recent days, Zhao Yanxun has not made a single move, and all he relies on to earn skill points is the guards. The system stipulates that killing zombies does not require skill points.
Below, after experiencing the first wave of attacks, the guards' numerical advantage quickly showed, and they were able to overwhelm the zombies in no time.
The further you go, the fewer the zombies are, and the guards' advantage becomes greater and greater.
With a "swish" slash, a head rose into the sky and blood sprayed far away.
This blood must be avoided. If it falls into the mouth, nose and eyes, infection will occur.
Even if the face is covered with a cloth, it is still very dangerous.
"ah……"
Just when the zombies were about to be wiped out, a scream was heard inside the urn city, and a guard was seen retreating continuously, bleeding from his hand.
"Be careful, he's been bitten!"
Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but frown, this was the first time this happened.
In the past, with his personal participation, the guards were safe. This was the first time that a guard was bitten by a zombie.
Although he felt unhappy, Zhao Yanxun also knew very well that such things were bound to happen.
The soldiers and horses in his hands will have to fight zombies if they want to break out of Yuanyang City in the future. Death is inevitable in war.
"My lord, he was bitten, what should I do?" Wang Zong shouted from below, he was leading the team today.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, save me!" The bitten guard knelt down and begged for help.
Zhao Yanxun sighed. He had no ability to save people. Through his system perception, he could see that the moment the guard was bitten, his whole body was exuding black energy.
Although the black energy is still relatively light and not as good as a completely mutated zombie, it also shows that the virus exists in the whole body, and it is not possible to survive by cutting off the hand.
"What's your name?" Zhao Yanxun asked in a deep voice.
"Report to the prince, I am Wucheng!"
"I will take good care of your family. After your death, you will enter the Heavenly Emperor's Court!"
In one sentence, arrange the affairs of the living and the dead. This is not only for the guard, but also for everyone present.
As long as you do things for him, Zhao Yanxun, your family will not have to worry about their lives, and you will reach bliss after death.
