May 18th, in the west of Hexi County, outside Ningtai Prefecture.
The central army of Yong's army has gathered here at this moment, with more than 30,000 troops, led by King Yong Zhao Yanxun.
Now Yong's army is divided into three groups: north, middle and south. Zhao Yanxun's location is not fixed. Instead, he will lead people to support wherever there are difficulties.
In other words, Yong's army is currently in trouble in Ningtai Fucheng, and it is a big trouble.
"My lord, we have found out clearly. There are at least tens of thousands of monsters inside, and now there are a few second-level monsters restraining them!"
Sitting on the horse, listening to Zhang Meng's report, Zhao Yanxun frowned and said: "Only level two monsters?"
After a few breaths of silence, Zhang Meng replied: ""I thought it was a level two monster, maybe we were wrong!"
In fact, there is not much difference between the appearance of second-level and third-level monsters, and they can only be judged by their behavior.
"Level 2 monsters cannot restrain tens of thousands of monsters. There must be level 3 monsters among them!"
A third-level monster can lead a second-level monster, and it will be no problem to command tens of thousands of zombies.
It's even possible that there are level four zombies in the city, which makes more sense.
The presence of high-level zombies means that there is likely to be a meteorite, and there is a meteorite with a large head. How can Zhao Yanxun, the source of such trouble, be let go.
What's more, even if they cross the city, there is no guarantee that these zombies will not attack from behind. They will still have to go back and kill them when the time comes, so it is better to kill them directly now.
At this moment, a flying horse arrived. After dismounting, someone reported: "Your Majesty, the east gate is also ready!"
Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "Send the order, and each department will take action on its own!"
"yes!"
There is no fixed plan for attacking a city occupied by zombies. Only by adapting measures to local conditions can a better effect be achieved. Rushing into the city at once is the last resort.
Fighting all the way to Ningtai Prefecture, they were almost two hundred miles away from Zhenxiguan, during which they only captured one prefecture and two county towns.
Zhao Yanxun did not station many soldiers in these cities, but used them to place the people he rescued along the way.
At this moment, following Zhao Yanxun's order, soldiers from the four gates of the city began to implement the clearing plan.
Taking the west gate of the city where Zhao Yanxun was located as an example, the soldiers guarding it placed many wheeled horses in the open space outside the city.
This new type of anti-horse has been widely equipped within the Yong Army. It marches and camps in places surrounded by zombies. This thing is very effective in preventing zombie attacks.
At this moment, these rebels were outside the city gate, enclosing a large area in which a small number of zombies were wandering.
Generally speaking, zombies will rush away when they hear the noise. There are only a few zombies wandering around now, which proves from the side that there are high-level zombies restrained in the city.
Obviously, those high-level zombies hiding in the dark have realized the power of Yong's army, so they chose to hide in the city.
In this case, if you send troops into the city to clear it out, the danger level will rise sharply. The best way is to lure the zombies out.
After receiving the military order, a dozen soldiers carried the pork and threw it directly into the open space.
These freshly slaughtered pork have a very strong smell of blood, which is very attractive to zombies.
When he went to the North to collect meteorites, Zhao Yanxun conducted experiments with flesh and blood, which proved that under strong attraction, high-level zombies could not restrain the zombies below.
Sure enough, when a large amount of flesh and blood was thrown into the open space, a large number of soldiers guarding outside heard the roar from inside the city gate.
The roaring sound is getting louder and louder. Based on past experience, it can be judged that there are high-level zombies "deterring" the subordinates.
Unfortunately, the effect was not good, and zombies still rushed out from the city gate.
The circle formed by the horses outside the west gate is about the size of a basketball court. Behind the horses are soldiers in full formation. More than 600 people can stand in a circle.
At every meter distance, there are at least four spearmen standing, the two in front are responsible for killing, and the two behind are as backup.
Behind these 600 people, there are another 600 people standing ready to replace the people in front.
Further back, there are soldiers to replace them, and at the outermost periphery are soldiers to dispose of corpses.
Everyone has a clear division of labor and deeply implements Zhao Yanxun's assembly line thinking, which greatly improves the efficiency of killing zombies.
With the troops deployed in this way, two soldiers guarded the four city gates and activated the zombie-killing machine.
Further outside, the cavalry of the first and second guards were responsible for killing zombies outside the city and creating a safe zone for the troops attacking the city inside.
Although the fight was lively in the front, Zhao Yanxun was calm and relaxed. This situation is too common.
Even if high-level zombies appear, with Hu Dabiao and Zhang Meng guarding them, safety can basically be guaranteed.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun was thinking about the next step in capturing Hanbei City.
Hanbei was governed by Hexi County, which was only a hundred miles away from Ningtai Fucheng. Zhao Yanxun planned to use this place as a supply point.
Far away from Zhenxiguan, the army's food was supplied from Longyou. The supply line was too long, so Zhao Yanxun had to use the system to exchange food.
Of course, the amount of grain exchanged by the system is limited, so he still has to transport grain from Longyou, but the amount can be reduced.
Whether it is transporting grain to Longyou or exchanging grain through the system, these huge amounts of grain need a place to be properly placed, and the Hanbei City in front is undoubtedly suitable.
According to the news from Su Chuyun, Hanbei City has been captured by the imperial court, which means that attacking Hanbei City is tantamount to a formal fight with the imperial court.
The latest news from the scouts is that there are not many troops stationed in Hanbei City, and the main force of the imperial court is clearing out zombies between the Han River and Ji River.
The imperial court divided the land into several large areas along large and small rivers, and the army carried out clearing operations in units of areas.
In this way, the effect of the eradication can be guaranteed. In each cleared area, people can be rearranged for farming. Restoring productivity is equivalent to restoring combat effectiveness.
Of course, before taking Hanbei, he had to level Ningtai City first.
Time passed quickly. After half an hour passed, the soldiers began to take turns after killing the zombies.
Of course, while rotating, the soldiers must also vacate the zombies that have been killed, so that they can be killed more efficiently later.
The rebel horses were withdrawn, and the soldiers blocked the city gate and restrained the zombies within the city.
At this time, someone suddenly reminded: "Be careful... there are high-level monsters on the city wall!"
Everyone looked up, and sure enough they saw three high-level zombies looking down on the city wall, but they did not make any roars.
"Shoot him..." an officer shouted.
The soldiers with bows did not dare to neglect at all, and fired arrows at the city wall, forcing the three zombies to retreat into the city wall.
At this time, a thousand households yelled: "Hurry up and clean up... continue the cleanup!"
"Yes!" the soldiers shouted in response.
Although they had been fighting fiercely for more than a month, they did not feel tired because of Zhao Yanxun's morale boost.
While the Yong army was attacking the city on the middle road, the troops wandering on the north road were repairing outside an empty Zhuangzi.
Relatively speaking, the Northern Route Army advanced faster because they bypassed the city and all the hard-to-gnaw bones were thrown aside.
Today, they are only fifty miles away from the Han River.
"Today's steamed buns are a bit hard!"
Inside Zhuangzi, the commander of the 11th Guards, Zhou Lixing, was holding a steamed bun with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Then a thousand households said, "Sir, if you have more patience, as long as we cross the Han River, good times will come!"
Just listen to Zhou Lixing say: "Hmph, if it weren't for us to rest today, how can I say... I would have to push ten miles further!"
Although they were advancing in tandem, in order to ensure the safety of the march, the armies of each front advanced alternately.
For example, if the 11th Guards advance to the front, they have to wait for the troops behind to push forward before they can continue to advance.
And during the waiting process, the army is allowed to repair, so it is not that tiring.
