When the villagers on the Menghai side reunited, Liu Enfu's fleet gradually approached Tongchang County.
Standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the scene in the distance, Liu Enfu ordered: "We are almost there, let the boatman prepare to drop anchor!"
This expedition was conducted with Liu Enfu as the leader and Wang Zong as the assistant, so it was Liu Enfu who gave the orders at this time.
This time, the people responsible for driving the boat were specialized boatmen. These people had rich experience in sailing on the Bahe River.
At the right moment, the anchor was thrown into the water, and the ship slowly moved towards the shore.
Tongchang is the scene. The pier that docks is very small and is still used by some ships.
Apparently, when the zombie outbreak occurred, these ships were simply abandoned.
So when Liu Enfu approached by boat, he saw seven or eight zombies emerging from the boat on the pier.
"Ouch..."
Seeing a ship approaching and there were living people on board, the zombies were aroused and started roaring with their teeth and claws open.
And their voices also attracted the facts on the shore at this moment.
Fortunately, this place is the same as River City. The density of zombies outside the city is not high. Otherwise, if dozens or hundreds of them gather at once, it would be troublesome for them to even land ashore.
Just listen to Liu Enfu say: "Gao Zheng'an, you lead people to get rid of the monsters on the dock!"
Gao Zheng'an is the general leader of Liu Enfu's subordinates. He is thoughtful and makes Liu Enfu feel at ease in his work.
There were more than a dozen zombies on the pier now. They looked scary with their teeth and claws, but in Gao Zhengan's eyes, they were just a pile of dead bodies.
After being called upon by Liu Enfu, Gao Zhengan immediately commanded his men, put on his armor, picked up the guy, and got off the ship to the dock.
Under the gaze of everyone, the zombies on the dock were killed one after another, just like chopping melons and vegetables.
With the advantage of numbers and equipment, the zombies' lifeless attack is completely asking for death.
Soon, all the zombies on the dock were killed, and Gao Zhengan led his guards to secure the ship to the dock.
At this time, Wang Zong suggested: "I think we should fill our stomachs first, and then let the brothers rest for half an hour to recharge their batteries before killing them!"
Liu Enfu nodded, and then the two of them gave orders to let their men eat and drink.
The two of them got off the boat and climbed a big tree by the dock to observe the situation in the county in the distance.
Looking at the city gate in the distance, Liu Enfu said slowly: "The county seat is almost two miles away from here. There seem to be nearly two hundred monsters outside. We have to get to the city gate as soon as possible to avoid being bitten by these monsters outside the city.
!”
Wang Zong also nodded, and then said: "It's not easy to go to the city. In my opinion, it's better to bring more food. When you go in, find a well first and stay in it for seven or eight days. It's better to get the work done directly."
Finished!"
As long as you find a well and set up a pot to boil water, you don't have to worry about drinking water.
After thinking for a while, Liu Enfu slapped his thigh and said: "Okay... let's do it this way. Take down Tongchang as soon as possible. We two old men in the palace cannot be compared with two newcomers!"
Among the hundreds of guards, Liu Enfu and Wang Zong are the oldest. They were once the elites of the imperial army, and now they are the guards of the palace. Naturally, they are eager to be the first.
Wang Zong nodded, and they made a simple and rough plan to clean up the zombies.
Half an hour later, all the guards, except the boatman who was punting the boat, gathered on the pier.
They were fully armed and held weapons, forming two wedge-shaped military formations. After the two hundred households gave the order, they moved towards the city gate.
Although they are stationed at the palace, the training of the guards has not failed. At this moment, a hundred people are marching like one person.
Their speed is not enough. The distance of two miles can be reached in about five minutes according to their current traveling speed.
So to be more precise, they were trotting forward. This was the most difficult part of maintaining the formation.
There were more than two hundred zombies scattered in an area one mile south of Tongchang County. When they sensed any strange living creatures, they rushed towards the guards.
Fortunately, they are spread over a wide area and cannot all arrive at once, so the pressure on the guards is not great.
If you bump into someone along the way, you can kill him with just one stab, and then speed up to keep up with the team.
Of course, the more zombies they encounter, the greater the resistance they will encounter.
But there is nothing we can do about it, because there are no armed helicopters in this era.
According to ideal conditions, they could reach the city gate in five minutes, but in the end it took them nearly seven minutes.
Along the way, they killed at least thirty zombies.
But when they reached the city gate, the real difficulties began.
Not only do they have to fend off the zombies behind them, they also have to open a road into the city as quickly as possible and seal the city gate as quickly as possible.
Liu Enfu made a decisive decision: "Wang Zong, you block the back and I'll hit the front!"
Naturally, there was no need to argue at this time. After Liu Enfu finished speaking, Wang Zong immediately called on his men to form a defensive line with their backs to the city gate.
In fact, the task behind Wang Zong's defense is much easier because there are more zombies in the city.
Fortunately, the city gate here is small and the zombies' numerical advantage cannot be extended. However, it is not easy for Liu Enfu to lead people forward.
This moment was the most difficult time to regain Tongchang. Every time Liu Enfu took a step forward, he had to expend a lot of energy.
Outside the city gate, there were more than a hundred zombies besieging them, while inside the south city gate, more than 300 zombies gathered in a small area.
Under attack from the front and back, everyone could only grit their teeth and support.
Fortunately, their formation is stable and they have enough manpower to continue their output through rotation.
As long as they survive this period, Liu Enfu and the others can take the initiative and specifically look for places with sparse zombies to attack.
After more than ten minutes of fierce fighting, the zombies outside the city wall were basically eliminated, and then they only rushed in in twos and threes, which could be easily defended.
I heard Wang Zong yell loudly: "Yunliu, you lead people to guard the back, others follow me and fight inside!"
Then he took the remaining people with him and turned around to leave only Liu Enfu. At this moment, the density of zombies inside the city gate was much lower.
Seeing Wang Zong and his men rushing towards him, Liu Enfu immediately ordered: "Crush them!"
Even if this is a general attack, they must capture the city gate as soon as possible and then close the city gate. This is also a difficult task.
The guards exploded with great fighting power and rushed directly into the group of corpses amidst the shouts. In this way, they could take advantage of their numerical advantage by expanding the battlefield.
Yes, even though the number of zombies in the city gate is now almost equal, Liu Enfu still feels that he has an advantage.
After many experiences, although they are still only first-class soldiers, their combat effectiveness has made great progress.
At this moment, Yun Liu, who was left outside the city gate, also began to call his men to retreat. He was responsible for closing the city gate.
The people in front worked hard to open up a safe zone, but that didn't mean that Yunliu's job was easy. Before closing the door, he had to clean up the corpses at the gate of the city.
This work had to be done quickly, and they had to send people to guard the outside of the city.
After killing a charging monster, Yunliu shouted loudly behind him: "Faster, faster!"
Continuously moving the corpses back, the guards worked hard and finally cleared the corpses at the city gate.
Two guards on each side moved forward and pushed the city gate with all their strength.
The city gate was pushed forward, making a low roar, which sounded like the sound of nature to the ears of the guards.
