The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 677
"Your Excellency is wise and mighty, not to mention ten miles away, as long as the prince gives us enough food...it's not difficult to hit the Han River in one go!"

Hearing what his subordinates said, Zhou Lixing felt very comfortable, after all, who doesn't want to be supported by others!
Of course, Zhou Lixing also had self-knowledge, relying on him and his men alone, at least half of the casualties in advancing to the Han River.

It is precisely because of the Wangfu's plan that all ministries are required to fight steadily, so that the guards can advance all the way from Zhenxiguan to the current position with extremely low casualties.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do this afternoon, follow me to the two villages in the south!"

"Yes!"

There are nearly 11 people in No.5000 Wei, and there is no room for only one Zhuangzi. At present, there are three thousand households in this one.

Just as the two of them were cooking with all their strength, the sound of horseshoes sounded outside the Zhuangzi.

Zhou Lixing didn't care about this, there were too many people coming and going every day, and he didn't have so much energy to pay attention to everyone.

However, the scout who returned to Zhuangzi found Zhou Lixing outside Zhou Lixing's house with fast steps.

"My lord, I found the enemy army!"

"Enemy army? What enemy army?" Zhou Lixing became interested.

"It's the imperial court's army!"

"The imperial army? How many people are there? Where are they?" Zhou Lixing stood up straight away.

After fighting zombies for a long time, Zhou Lixing felt tired. If he had a chance to meet the imperial army, that would be really interesting.

Without waiting for the scout to answer, Qian Hu from the side replied, "The soldiers and horses of the imperial court...are not all in the west of the Han River?"

"Let you investigate the monster, who told you to run so far?"

Accused by the thousand households, the scout hurriedly said: "My lord... the little one was found twenty miles away!"

Sure enough, the imperial army crossed the Han River, Zhou Lixing was surprised and immediately asked, "How many of them are there?"

The scout replied: "The terrain is flat, and the small one didn't find a high ground, so I didn't see it clearly... so I rushed back to answer!"

"You trash!" Zhou Lixing scolded and scolded, "Get back first!"

"Yes!"

After the scout retreated, Zhou Lixing said: "Report this military situation to the prince immediately!"

Qianhu replied: "My lord, the specific situation is still unclear, how can we report to the prince?"

Zhou Lixing couldn't help being stunned, he had forgotten this layer.

"Leave additional personnel to investigate, be sure to find out the military situation!"

Qianhu nodded, turned around and was about to arrange manpower, but Zhou Lixing said, "Forget it...I'll go in person!"

"You go by yourself?"

"Why? Can't I go?"

"But my lord, you should sit in the army in order to stabilize the morale of the army!"

Hearing this, Zhou Lixing couldn't help laughing and said: "Could it be that the morale of the army will be disturbed after I leave for a while?"

Yong Jun has Zhao Yanxun as the backbone, let alone Zhou Lixing leave for a while, even if he dies in battle, there will be no chaos.

"You guys go, I can't find it anymore, stop talking nonsense... arrange staff immediately!"

"Yes!"

Since he couldn't persuade him, this Qianhu didn't say any more, at worst he went with him.

In fact, Zhou Lixing asked to go in person because he wanted to see what the imperial army was like.

Zhou Lixing set off. Twenty miles to the northwest, Li Guifang was investigating the situation.

Around him, there are a large number of well-equipped cavalrymen, killing the approaching zombies.

Beside Li Guifang, the commander Yuan Zheng was very worried and said: "My lord, we have gone too far, it is time to go back!"

Li Guifang was extremely upset and said: "Why are you so timid? Go back if you are afraid!"

As the commander of the right guard of Longzhi, Li Guifang led his subordinates to fight many battles on the land of Gyeonggi in the past two years, and naturally developed extraordinary courage.

According to the order of the Governor's Office of the West Route Army, Li Guifang led his men across the river two days ago to find out the situation in the northwestern part of the river.

In the past two days, they have traveled more than 20 miles, and now they are surrounded by zombies, which can be regarded as a lonely army.

"My lord, it's not that I'm cowardly, it's just that our army must put safety first, and the army can't afford to make mistakes!" Yuan Zheng reminded solemnly.

Li Guifang said impatiently: "I know that safety is the most important thing, and you underestimate the brothers!"

"If you want to talk more, just go back and stay in the town behind!"

The so-called town behind, there is a thousand households stationed there, and it will be used as a basis to clean up the outside world, so this place is now a safe zone.

Just listen to Yuan Zheng solemnly said: "My lord, a humble job is not about being greedy for life and fear of death, but speaking out of a public heart!"

"Three years ago, there was chaos in the Northwest, the Imperial Army had twenty guards, and seven guards fell to the Northwest..."

A disagreement, Yuan Zheng turned up the old account.

"Although the imperial court has rebuilt the seven guards, they have lost training after all. Now they can only garrison the southeast, and together with the remnants of the northern guards, stabilize the southeast line of defense in Gyeonggi!"

Yuan Zheng said more and more seriously: "What the court can really rely on is the remaining Thirteen Guards!"

"My lord is in charge of the right guard of Longzhi, and you are in charge of the safety of the court, how can you not be more careful?"

"Does your lord think that the imperial court can rely on those remnant soldiers in the north, or those people drawn from the south?"

"Although there are a large number of them, they are a bunch of idiots. We are thankful for being able to do a good job of supplying military supplies!"

After hearing so much from Yuan Zheng, although Li Guifang felt impatient, he also knew that what the other party said was reasonable.

So Li Guifang solemnly apologized: "Old Yuan, I apologize to you. I said something harsh just now, so don't take offense!"

The two of them have gone through life and death, so naturally they won't get angry because of it.

As the boss, Li Guifang took the initiative to give in, and Yuan Zheng, who was the deputy, couldn't say more.

Pointing to the front, Li Guifang said: "There is Zhuangzi in front, let's go there!"

In fact, Yuan Zheng wanted to persuade Li Guifang to return.

There are five thousand households in the left guard of Longzhi, only two of them are following Li Guifang, and the other three are either in the rear or scattered in the rear.

Living in the front, Yuan Zheng felt that it was too prominent, and it was safest to return.

When Yuan Zheng hesitated, Li Guifang said, "Don't forget, we are here to suppress monsters. Isn't it difficult to do this job?"

At this moment, there was a lot of noise in front, but it was the cavalry of Long Zhiwei, who were besieging and killing the rushing zombies.

A group of hundreds of zombies was attacked by cavalry, and two or three back and forth were flattened.

"As the order goes on, you must not be careless in the eradication of monsters. Yuan Tongzhi will never let anyone in a hundred households suffer!" When he said this, Li Guifang glanced at Yuan Zheng.

"Yes!"

Ever since, the cavalry from the two Qianhusuo rushed five miles ahead.

The food they carried on their horses was enough for them to eat for more than 20 days, so there was no need to worry about supplies for the time being.

Although he has experience in killing zombies, some soldiers still failed in the process of leading to Zhuangzi.

For these soldiers who were scratched and bitten, all that awaited them was death.

This kind of casualty is inevitable, Yuan Zheng can't scold his subordinates because of this, he just wants to minimize the casualty as much as possible.

The zombies in Zhuangzi are also easy to eliminate.

They first lured the zombies out of Zhuangzi, and repeated the impact several times with the old method, and they were able to smash the corpses into pieces.

These elite cavalry are already familiar with this.

Half an hour later, hundreds of zombies in Zhuangzi were wiped out, and a team of nearly 2000 people squeezed into Zhuangzi.

"Build the fortifications first, and don't let the monsters take advantage of it!"

Hearing Li Guifang's order, Yuan Zheng couldn't help asking: "You want to use this as a basis to eliminate monsters from outside?"

"Is it not possible?" Li Guifang asked back.

Yuan Zheng gave his own opinion: "I still think that we are too far ahead, and it is a taboo to go deep alone!"

Li Guifang said in a deep voice: "Slow and steady, what's the difference between here and the town behind?"

Crossing the Han River, there are dense zombies here, and there may be danger anywhere, and it makes no difference to kill zombies anywhere.

However, in the land west of the Han River, zombies are not the only threat.

Long Zhi's right guard's scouts have not found where the Yong army is at the moment, which made Li Guifang make an unwise decision.
