The heavy city gate began to close slowly with the efforts of the guards.
But this deafening sound will definitely attract more zombies, so they must close the city gate as soon as possible.
After killing the last zombie, Yunliu was the last one to enter the city gate, and the next moment the city gate was completely closed.
Inside the city gate, Liu Enfu and Wang Zong commanded the guards to consolidate the defense line, and the best defense was to attack.
Inside the city gate, Yun Liu and others were not idle. They also had to reinforce the city gate to ensure that it would not be broken open by the zombies outside.
So the zombies that were thrown away just now were piled up by them again, and they were also supported by the wooden bars already in the doorway.
At this moment, Wang Zong was heard yelling: "Yunliu, are you okay?"
After holding up the last wooden pole, Yun Liu replied: "Sir, it's ready!"
"Old Liu, you retreat up the city wall first, and then we will retreat!"
After a long period of continuous fighting, their physical strength has dropped a lot, and they must repair to ensure safety.
There are basically no zombies on the city wall, and it is a place where you can hide and repair, so Wang Zong asked Liu Enfu to lead people to evacuate to the city wall.
At this time, Liu Enfu was not polite to Wang Zong. After all, their physical exertion was more serious and they needed correction more at this moment.
Immediately, Liu Enfu ordered the guards to start retreating.
It can be seen here that the palace guards are well-trained. They did not retreat in a rush, but instead slowly withdrew from the battle in a deal.
The withdrawal led by Liu Enfu greatly increased the pressure on Wang Zonghe's men, but it was still within a tolerable range.
While Liu Enfu and others had withdrawn to the city wall, Wang Zong also directed his men to gradually withdraw to the stairs.
Ouch...
Slowly retreating towards the city wall, looking at the zombies that kept crowding up the steps, the guards swung the knives faster and more urgently.
Fortunately, the steps were narrow at the moment. Although the zombies squeezed up desperately, not many people climbed up the steps.
Not only were the frontline guards slashing, but the soldiers who were already on the city wall were also looking for spears and stabbing them forward.
This greatly reduced the pressure on the frontline guards, allowing them to quickly withdraw to the city wall.
Finally, the doors of the city wall and steps were closed, and the zombies were confined under the city wall.
On the city wall, the guards were squatting or standing, each one breathing heavily.
The scene was silent and no words were spoken. It was undoubtedly a waste of energy. What they needed most now was to regain their strength.
In contrast to the roars of zombies ringing around, the city wall seemed particularly quiet at this moment, which also made everyone present feel calmer.
Ten minutes later, when everyone's physical strength was almost restored, Liu Enfu's voice was heard from the city wall: "Brothers, we won the first battle, good... very good!"
"Let's rest for another half hour and then go to the next city gate!"
Having said this, Liu Enfu said solemnly: "There is only one task today, which is to close all four city gates in Tongchang County!"
Only by closing the city gate can they safely close the door and beat the dogs without worrying about endless zombie killings.
After finishing the instructions, Liu Enfu and Wang Zong walked to the other side. It was up to them to make the detailed plan.
The two of them came to the gate tower, which is a rare high point in Tongchang County. They can get an overview of the situation in the city.
"Do you think there's a granary over there?"
Following the direction of Liu Enfu's finger, Wang Zong saw the unique architectural features of the granary.
Wang Zong smiled and said, "It's the granary. It seems like we have to move there tonight!"
In order to prevent theft, granaries are generally built very closed, which is a good place for defense and garrison.
"It seems you don't have to worry about eating these days!" Liu Enfu said slowly.
Next, the two discussed the shortcomings of the previous battle and carefully planned the next step.
Half an hour later, all the guards were gathered again and headed to the east gate of Tongchang.
In the following time, they completed the task step by step.
The east gate, north gate, and west gate were closed one after another.
As the sun set in the west, all four city gates in Tongchang County were closed.
During this process, three guards lay down forever. At this moment, the guards were observing a collective moment of silence.
On the wall of the west gate of Tongchang, three corpses were lined up horizontally, and their throats had been cut.
Although the guards have been upgraded, they are still flesh and blood. In continuous high-intensity battles, casualties are inevitable.
"Let's put the bodies of the three brothers here for the time being. After Tongchang is recovered, we can bury them with dignity!"
After saying this, Liu Enfu turned around and faced the guards and said: "Brothers, the prince is born sacred. These three brothers died fighting for the prince. They will surely be able to ascend to the Heavenly Emperor's Palace and enjoy bliss!"
They had witnessed Zhao Yanxun's holiness many times, so the guards still believed Liu Enfu's words.
"Die for Your Highness, and die a worthy death!"
After saying this, Liu Enfu's voice suddenly rose, and he shouted enthusiastically: "Long live His Highness King Yong!"
The guards followed up and shouted fanatically: "Long live His Highness King Yong!"
They were firmly loyal to King Yong, and they were willing to die for Zhao Yanxun, so death would no longer be scary.
The guards had high morale, and then Liu Enfu and his men led their men down the city wall and rushed towards the granary.
This place can be attacked or defended, and you can gain advantage by occupying it.
When Liu Enfu and others went to the granary, they did not know that there was a wave of survivors here, with nearly a hundred people occupying this place.
Among these people were guardsmen, ordinary people, merchants and their families, and government officials.
After being able to live here for half a year, these people have also figured out their own way of survival.
When there is no shortage of food, they only need to walk on the roof to search for needed supplies in a large area. After all, zombies cannot go on the roof.
But today's attack by Liu Enfu and others broke their unchanging lives and gave them a place to live.
At this moment, in the courtyard of the granary, a middle-aged man in a long shirt looked at the strong men around him and said, "Did you hear clearly what I was shouting just now?"
"It seems like long live so and so..."
"It seems like a prince, I didn't hear the details clearly..."
In fact, no one here heard clearly, but at least the man in the long gown was sure of one thing, the person coming from outside should be an official person.
After being trapped here for more than half a year, someone in official uniform finally came over, which made the man in long gown very happy.
"Why haven't the people we sent out to investigate come back yet?" the man in the long gown frowned.
He is the leader of this place, and the reason why he can ensure that others listen to him is all because of the strong men under him, who form a community of interests with him.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man came down from the roof with uncontrollable joy on his face.
"Sir, they are coming, they are coming...the army is coming!" the young man said with great joy.
As soon as these words came out, they attracted the attention of everyone in the yard.
During this period, although they had no shortage of food and drink, they were surrounded by zombies outside, and they knew very well that they were waiting to die.
But now, with the arrival of the army, hope has come.
