In the twenty-fourth year of Tai'an, on the fifth day of July, it was the tenth day for the palace to clean up zombies.
After a long period of fighting, the effect is obvious. The density of zombies outside the city has dropped by more than half. If we continue to kill at this rate, the zombies outside the city will basically be cleared out by about mid-July.
For ten days, the guards and soldiers in the city were almost in a state of continuous rotation, and they were able to maintain an efficient massacre of zombies.
During the day, zombies were slaughtered to produce a large number of corpses, and at night, soldiers moved the corpses out of the city.
But even so, the putrid smell of corpses in the city still had a great impact on the city.
In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, Zhao Yanxun, on the advice of the imperial doctors, ordered everyone in the city to cover their mouths and noses with cloth every day.
In this era, the means to prevent infectious diseases are really limited. Apart from "wearing a mask" and strengthening hygiene management, Zhao Yanxun can't think of any other way.
Of course, these are things that big shots consider, and ordinary people and soldiers are just tool people.
At the Yongning Gate in the southern city, a large number of soldiers gathered. They were all wearing newly issued bamboo armor and holding issued weapons in their hands.
According to Zhao Yanxun's instructions, all soldiers of the Bingma Division had to undergo actual combat training, so a large number of soldiers gathered at the south gate.
"Oh, I just hope God will bless me and I can go back alive today!"
"I heard that if you move corpses at night, each person can get ten kilograms of food..."
The timid ones are worried about their own lives, while the bold ones are thinking about making extra money. It can be said that some people are happy and others are worried.
Li Erxia was holding a large shield. Although he didn't say a word, he was so nervous at the moment that he couldn't help but lift the kettle and take another sip.
Seeing his nervous look, the flag officer on the side patted his head and said with a straight face: "You coward, if you keep drinking like this, you will be scared to the point of peeing on the battlefield in a while!"
The flag officer was a veteran, so he could tell at a glance that Li Erxia was too nervous.
"Brother Liu, am I thirsty?" Li Erxia swallowed the cold drink and smiled innocently.
Liu Shan shook his head helplessly. The soldiers below were afraid, but he was also worried.
At this moment, a man from a household in front shouted: "Those behind, take three steps forward!"
The soldiers, who were lined up, took three steps forward together at this moment, achieving the most rare command and prohibition in the ancient army.
"After entering, don't panic..."
"According to the usual training formations, the brothers cooperate with each other and seize the opportunity to thrust..."
A small flag officer in the front was explaining to the team that was about to enter the Wengcheng, and all the three rows behind him were listening attentively.
Li Erxia and others were sitting further back. Someone next to him asked: "Who is that person speaking?"
"You don't even know this? This is Yang Xiaoqi, who was praised by the prince as a role model in the military!"
"Yang Xiaoqi? Yang Qing?"
"It's not him or anyone else. This guy is really prosperous. If he becomes a prince, he will probably have hundreds of thousands of households in the future!"
As soon as this person finished speaking, someone immediately retorted: "Is it that easy to build hundreds of thousands of households?"
The two were about to argue when Liu Shan, the flag officer on the side, immediately scolded: "Shut up, you bastards!"
Shangguan's majestic display made the people who were talking stop talking. They wanted to relax their tense nerves in this way.
Li Erxia has always been very quiet and listened to what others said. He never spoke much in the camp.
Time gradually passed, and Li Erxia's group finally reached the first row.
Yang Qing was sitting in the back drinking tea. He talked for so long that his mouth was dry. At this moment, his soldiers were explaining the essentials.
Rumble...the closed inner city gate opened again.
A group of people came out. There were eleven of them when they went out, but only ten of them came back.
Dead, this was Li Erxia's first reaction.
This hurt his heart, but it was not unacceptable.
In the past ten days, twenty-five people from the Military and Horse Division have died in the fighting, and almost every day one or two groups of people are involved in an accident.
This result cast a shadow over Li Erxia and his party.
As the flag officer leading the team, Liu Shan could clearly see the expressions of his subordinates.
He was deeply worried about this, but he hid this worry in his heart, otherwise his soldiers would only become more panicked.
At the inner city gate, a commander-in-chief looked at Liu Shan and said: "Next team, enter the barbican city!"
Liu Shan grasped the spear tightly and immediately ordered: "Brothers, form an array!"
Fortunately, Liu Shan did not relax his training on weekdays. All the soldiers under him immediately entered the state after he gave the order.
After the soldiers formed their formation, they immediately moved forward.
As they entered Wengcheng, the inner city gate was slowly closed, and then the outer gate was slowly pulled up.
"Li Erxia, don't be a coward, kid!" Liu Shan said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, sir!" Li Erxia said firmly.
"Brothers, if you kill the monster in a moment, Qianhu Institute will give you a half-day holiday, and you can all go home!"
Liu Shan talked about irrelevant things, mainly to relieve the tension of his subordinates.
"Sir, it would be great if there was wine. Now that we are done... we can go have some drinks too!"
Liu Shan laughed and then said: "I don't have any wine, but I have some crude tea. Can you go to my house for a drink after you finish?"
"good……"
As everyone cheered, a roar sounded from the outer city gate, and a zombie rushed in.
"Fuck him to death!" Liu Shan yelled.
All the soldiers were holding the weapons in their hands tightly at this moment, staring intently at the charging zombies.
Sure enough, the zombie still crashed into the shield at the front, and was directly blocked by the two big men in front.
"Stab and kill..."
As Liu Shan yelled, the soldiers at the rear immediately fired their guns, and both shots hit the zombies, directly piercing the opponent's chest and abdomen.
But this was not the fatal part. The two soldiers immediately withdrew their guns, and then asked two more people to draw their guns, but they all missed.
"Steady, steady, keep thrusting!" Liu Shan commanded the team, confronting the zombies in front of them.
The zombie hit the shield again. This time, the soldiers were not as nervous as before and shot the zombie directly in the neck.
The first zombie was eliminated, the gate that had just fallen was pulled up again, and a second zombie jumped into the urn city.
"Steady, steady...don't panic!"
Although he had already killed one, Liu Shan was still a little panicked at the moment.
At this moment, he regretted very much. He should have trained his subordinates more strictly in the past. In that case, they would be able to cooperate better now and kill monsters without being so hasty.
In fact, everyone who has experienced actual combat will basically have this idea.
This is also the purpose of Zhao Yanxun's insistence on this matter. Actual combat is the best training and is the catalyst for the progress of the army.
"kill……"
Liu Shan commanded his men to fight hard. He wanted to bring everyone back alive, and he had to kill the monster in front of him.
