Early morning on October 25, the twenty-fifth year of Tai'an.
The side hall of the main house of Qian Mansion was temporarily converted into Zhao Yanxun's bedroom.
Last night, passion came to his mind and he was tossing all night long, which reminded Zhao Yanxun of the ridiculous time in his previous life.
The longer he stayed in this world, the deeper the memories of his past life were buried. Zhao Yanxun rarely had time to remember.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun was putting on his armor, and Zhou Lanzhi was waiting on him, enduring the pain.
Including the princess, all the women in Zhao Yanxun's harem would want to help him change his clothes after they were done, so he could only lament that this was a good era when the husband was the guide for his wife.
Zhou Lanzhi, who helped Zhao Yanxun put on the armor, did not feel uncomfortable or wronged at this moment. After all, Zhao Yanxun fit the girl's imagination of a husband very well.
It can be said that by hooking up with King Yong, the safety of her and her nephew has been guaranteed. By relying on her own body to reach this point, she can be considered worthy of her brother.
At this time, Zhao Yanxun said: "As expected of a general, he wears armor and knows the way!"
"Reporting to your highness, when I was at home, I also saw my father wearing armor. I learned it naturally by being influenced by what I heard and saw!"
The two of them didn't talk much for the rest of the time. Although they had in-depth exchanges, they were not very familiar with each other after all.
After getting dressed quickly, it was time for breakfast.
Two bowls of porridge, three steamed buns, and three side dishes. This was the best meal Zhou Lanzhi had in more than a year.
Zhao Yanxun asked Zhou Lanzhi to eat together, but the two didn't talk much during the period.
Zhou Lanzhi certainly had a lot to say, but she knew that now was not the time.
After eating, Zhao Yanxun walked out of the hall with a knife in his hand, while Zhou Lanzhi was left in the room.
Today Zhao Yanxun is going to the front line of Zhenxiguan, trying to get a clear picture of the situation there. It would be better if he could advance to the city wall.
At this moment in Zhuangzi, a large number of guards are gathering.
There are more than 600 people in three hundred-household offices. Except for one general who is left to guard Zhuangzi, all the others have to go to the front line. This is an unprecedented scale of the Guards Department.
As the guards arrived one after another, reports continued to sound on the field.
Among the three full-time officers, Wang Zong is the oldest, and he is the temporary commander at this moment.
When all the guards arrived, Zhao Yanxun also came to the scene. Xu Yu and four other chief and deputy officers took the initiative to greet him, and then followed Zhao Yanxun out.
"stand at attention!"
Wang Zong roared loudly, and all the guards stood up straight, and the sound of neatly leaning on the legs was heard on the scene.
Standing still on the spot, Zhao Yanxun was wearing a full set of armor as a reward from the system. There were various dragon and tiger carvings on it, which made Zhao Yanxun look like a king.
Of course, the greatest value of this armor is that it is far stronger than ordinary iron armor.
After trotting to a position ten feet away from Zhao Yanxun, Wang Zong knelt down on one knee and said, "I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, that the guards from each household have been assembled. Please give me instructions!"
After signaling Wang Zong to stand up, Zhao Yanxun glanced forward, but he saw Hu Dabiao standing in the first row, already standing with the ordinary guards.
Making eye contact with Zhao Yanxun, Hu Dabiao stood taller and taller, which made Zhao Yanxun a little satisfied.
Originally, Zhao Yanxun wanted to give him a lecture, but now he didn't even have a specific goal, so there was nothing to teach him.
"Go east from here to Zhenxiguan. The three hundred households march side by side. Xu Yu goes to the south, Wang Zong goes to the middle, and Chen Yuhe goes to the north!"
"Each hundred households will form one body and support each other when needed. Wang Zong and Xu Yu's subordinates will each select a general flag carrier, who will be personally commanded by the king to serve as a reserve team!"
These words were conveyed only to a few chief and deputy officials.
"Do you understand everything?" Zhao Yanxun asked in a low voice.
"I understand!" several hundred households replied.
"Okay then, let's each lead the team out of the village and adjust the formation!"
"As you command!"
Each household returned to the center of the team and began to arrange their affairs.
The troops marched out of Zhuangzi one after another and formed their military formations according to Zhao Yanxun's orders.
In fact, from the moment they left Zhuangzi, the guards were constantly attacked by zombies.
Outside Zhuangzi, there were already a large number of zombies gathered, but compared with those near Zhenxiguan, the density was much smaller.
So from the moment they left the village, the guards started fighting.
Zhao Yanxun was in the military formation, with a flagman behind him to command the team that was more than a hundred meters wide.
When each ministry reported with flags and confirmed that the troops were all in formation, Zhao Yanxun issued the order to advance.
The team began to march, and more than 500 people formed a group, and when they encountered zombies, they were killed directly.
Zombies are not afraid of death. Once they are hacked to death, new ones will rush in immediately, and the guards in the front row will never rest.
There are five rows in the team, and every time they advance about thirty feet, the guards at the back will be replaced immediately, and the person at the front will be the last to recover their strength.
This way of marching can best reflect the army's combat capabilities.
Zhao Yanxun was riding on a horse, which gave him a better view.
The same was true for several other chiefs and deputies of Baihu, but they did not go with Zhao Yanxun because they still had to command their subordinates.
"Come on, beast..."
Walking in front of the military formation, Hu Dabiao raised his sword and stared at the zombies rushing towards him.
Although he was demoted, Hu Dabiao is now able to do a good job in a combat position.
After the zombies broke out, as a guard of the palace, Hu Dabiao has been fighting on the front line, executing Zhao Yanxun's military orders.
The zombie that rushed over had its neck chopped off by Hu Dabiao again.
"Master Hu, it's time for you to retreat and rest. We've gone almost a hundred feet!"
Picking up the knife and continuing to move forward, Hu Dabiao said coldly: "If you call me Master Hu again, I won't beat you when you get back!"
The guards near him were all Wang Zong's subordinates. Hu Dabiao spoke loudly, specifically for his companions to hear.
Seeing Hu Dabiao kill another zombie, the guard behind asked: "Then... we will call you..."
"Call me Brother Biao!"
Everyone felt a little awkward calling this former deputy 100-year-old brother Biao.
In fact, Hu Dabiao formed a team with them and was on duty with them, which actually made people feel even more awkward.
"Biao...Brother Biao...it's time for you to come down and rest..."
Behind the team, Zhao Yanxun did not kill the zombies himself, but looked around with a bow and arrow.
Ordinary zombie guards can be dealt with, but his target is advanced mutants.
Advanced mutants have stronger combat power, but what makes them more difficult to deal with is that these zombies have developed intelligence and can command ordinary zombies.
Even if it is just a relatively basic intelligence, combined with the zombie army that is not afraid of death, it will be an extremely terrifying opponent.
Now that we are getting closer to the city gate, the possibility of encountering high-level zombies is increasing, so Zhao Yanxun is becoming more vigilant.
"Give me the order...slow down!"
The further you go, the more dangerous it becomes. What Zhao Yanxun wants is not speed, but steady progress.
With the flag language soldiers passing the order, the military order was conveyed to the hundred household level, and then each hundred households conveyed it to the subordinate general banner.
"Slow down, slow down..."
Shouts rang out among the military formations, and military orders were conveyed to every guard.
The march of the military formation slowed down, and the entire military formation became more closely connected.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun saw the group of corpses gathering in front of him.
