Zhao Yanxun originally wanted to patrol the supervisory army all the way, but found that there was nothing to patrol. After all, the total number of troops was only more than 2,000.
So after wandering back and forth, he simply stayed in the center position, so as to facilitate both front and rear support.
Chen Yuhe has been sent away by him, and now only ten guards are left to serve Zhao Yanxun closely.
But with Zhao Yanxun's strength, protecting everyone is not a big problem, as long as he doesn't commit suicide and charge into the group of corpses.
But sometimes, I am afraid of what will happen.
"There are monsters in the west, and there are more of them... Be alert!"
"Be on guard, be on guard..."
After the warning sound, each household immediately ordered its subordinates to be on alert through the signal signal issued by Wang Chengchu of Qianhu.
The soldiers set up large shields and placed resisting horses on the outermost perimeter. A simple and effective defense was quickly built.
Among them, the most commendable thing is that the soldiers remained calm in the face of danger and did their own things in an orderly manner.
Although he had a plan for encountering zombies, the stop-and-go march still made Zhao Yanxun a little uncomfortable.
Riding on a horse, he was in the center of the entire military formation and could see the surrounding situation clearly.
The number of zombies that came this time was conservatively estimated to be four to five hundred.
The military formation was built, with horses and large shields in front, and soldiers holding spears in the rear.
The spear is more than ten feet long. It has the advantage of long-range attack, and it is not difficult to use. You just need to keep thrusting out.
The zombies were like a tide, rushing straight towards the military formation, and the first batch were directly nailed to the horse.
The zombies felt no pain and no fear. The ones in front who were not dead were still struggling, but the zombies behind them rushed up again.
"Ouch...Ouch...Ouch..."
The zombies kept shouting and charging forward with their teeth and claws bared, and soon the front horse was full of impalements and lost its defensive effect.
As a result, the zombies behind were able to step on the corpse in front and successfully pass the first layer of defense.
Juma and the soldiers at the rear were less than ten feet apart. Almost at the same time that the zombies were approaching Juma and landed, spears thrust out one after another.
"Stab..." the junior officer shouted in command.
To be honest, this kind of killing was very efficient, killing forty or fifty zombies in one stab.
Zhao Yanxun's system panel can easily monitor the number of zombies killed.
"Kill..." the soldiers yelled.
The formation of the soldiers was very stable, and these fearless zombies were popped like bubbles.
Strictly speaking, thrusting with a spear must be careful, because the zombie must be pierced through the throat to be completely killed.
What pikemen practice every day is the accuracy of thrusting, and now almost all of them are "sharp shooters".
Even if someone misses, there will be companions to help with the shot, and the zombies will only die.
There were more than five hundred zombies, which seemed like a lot, but under the stabbing of hundreds of soldiers, they were all killed in a short time.
Throughout the whole process, Zhao Yanxun was just a bystander. The soldiers handled the situation effectively and decisively, and their combat effectiveness was tested in actual combat.
It's no wonder that Fang Sheng and Wang Cheng are full of confidence. Naturally, they know best how effective the troops they train are.
After killing the zombies, the next thing to do is to clean up the battlefield.
All the corpses on the horse must be taken down, the ones that are not dead must be touched up as soon as possible, and the dead corpses must be disposed of as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, I didn't scare you, did I?" Wang Cheng ran over in a hurry.
Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but said: "It seems that this time, the powerful enemy we face is not only Zhu Jinzhang, but also these endless monsters!"
In just ten miles of traveling, they encountered three large-scale attacks, and Fang Sheng, who was in the front, killed more.
"That's exactly the case, but please rest assured, Your Majesty... we will definitely be able to reach Baishan County within today!" Wang Cheng said firmly.
At this moment, Pegasus came from a distance, and they were scouts who came back to report the news.
He came to Zhao Yanxun on horseback, ignoring the zombie corpses around him. The visitor jumped off his horse and quickly came to Zhao Yanxun. Then he paid homage and said: "Your Majesty, the rebels have led their troops out of the city. They are divided into two groups and heading east and west.
Yes, our people have followed separately!"
For this expedition, there were more than thirty scouts deployed, and they were scattered in various key locations. There were ten of them in Baishan County alone.
"How many of them left the city?" Wang Cheng asked.
"Together, there are at least 1,300 or 400 people!"
Relying on estimates alone can only achieve this level, and it is simply impossible to be more precise.
"So, they are the main force leaving the city!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.
"My lord, if you stay in the city, you will definitely die. Choosing to leave the city shows that they are not too stupid!" Wang Cheng's tone was slightly sarcastic.
Zhao Yanxun asked: "How many rebel troops are left in Baishan County?"
The scout replied: "We have seen several city walls, and the total number of people is at least four to five hundred!"
There were only two hundred people actually left behind. The reason why there were more people here was because the scouts were deceived by Wu Pingxuan's trick of suspecting soldiers.
On the city wall, Wu Pingxuan placed dummies. If the scout had taken a moment to look, he would have found that there were six to seven hundred people on the city wall.
"Have you informed Fang Sheng of this news?" Fang Sheng was in the front, so he should naturally know the news.
The scout quickly replied: "In reply to the prince, I have already reported it to Fang Qianhu when I came!"
After reporting this key information, the scout immediately rode away. He had to go explore the information again.
"The thieves are leaving the city. They are all cavalry. Be careful of their surprise attacks!"
"Don't worry, my lord, look at the terrain around here. They can't charge at all. It's not difficult to stop them!"
It is true that the power of cavalry can only be exerted when the terrain is flat, and the current terrain is not exactly peaceful.
Walking a dozen miles further, when approaching Baishan County, the terrain will level off.
"In short, we must be prepared with all our strength and never give the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of us!" Zhao Yanxun said solemnly.
"As you command!"
The battlefield was quickly cleaned up, and Zhao Yanxun did not rush to continue on his way. Instead, he let the soldiers rest for a while. Fierce fighting was very draining on their mental and physical strength.
After walking only four or five miles, I saw a fire burning on the roadside, full of corpses of dead zombies.
Obviously, Fang Sheng killed him from the front, and they were used to this situation.
Along the way, large-scale zombies were encountered from time to time, but scattered zombies never stopped.
It can be said that they walked and killed all the way. The combat effectiveness displayed by these ordinary soldiers gave Zhao Yanxun a new understanding of his army.
Although it is not as good as the guards, the combat quality it displays every time it forms a formation proves that this is a strong army.
To fight against zombies, the cold weapon army could do this, which made Zhao Yanxun doubtful.
In the movie series produced by the Angsa people in the previous life, the high-tech army could not stop the zombies. Why is this?
Is there something wrong with the screenwriter's brain? Is it that their people are stupid? Or is there something wrong with their system? Or is it all three?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but smile. He still had a lot of problems, and he was worried that others would be in pain if they were just doing nothing.
