The sun is scorching.

The huge team gathered outside the city, and hundreds of war horses were led out of the stable and handed over to Wei Mingyuan.

There happened to be soldiers in the Wei family army who knew how to take care of war horses. After checking that they were all safe, they began to put simple protective equipment on the horses. The equipment was very simple, made of temporary leather pieces, to prevent them from getting injured while walking outside and thus contracting the virus.

In addition, horse hooves are divided into two layers, a hard keratin layer that contacts the ground, and each horse's hooves are nailed with horseshoes to prevent injury or wear.

Everything is ready.

After Wei Xiyin had packed up, she came out of the post station with her cousin Wei Ling. She held the reins in her hand, and the docile black horse followed beside her. Then came the two gentlemen, each leading the other two horses.

She was discussing with Wei Ling about giving the horse a nice name.

Wei Ling said without hesitation: "Just call me Xiao Hei."

"No!" Wei Xiyin said seriously, "Such an ordinary name is not worthy of it."

The horse seemed to understand and leaned its head over to nudge her gently.

Wei Xiyin looked at it with eyes that were almost filled with tears. She caressed it lovingly and asked, "How about calling it Coal Ball?"

Wei Ling looked conflicted: "Fifth cousin, I don't know if I should say this, but I feel like I'm not as good as Xiao Hei."

Chu Yu chuckled, "Mr. Ling is absolutely right. Why not call it bacon? It's much more suitable."

"Pfft..." Cookie couldn't help but almost lost control of his expression. Mr. Chu had such a mean mouth.

Wei Xiyin was in a good mood at the moment and didn't want to argue with the middle-aged man. She said to herself, "That's not in vain. At least we have the word 'white'."

Plus her last name - Wei Bubai.

Sounds good!

Cookie nodded slightly, "Not bad."

A group of people led their horses towards the city gate.

Yuan Yuwan was standing at the city gate, talking to Wei Mingyuan, with Wei Li and Zhongshan's generals beside her.

General Chen and others only found out yesterday that there was a Wei family army outside the city, and the general leading the army was Wei Mingyuan, a military officer of the Qinghe Wei family.

They have become numb. Miss Wei is too cunning. She has endless tricks up her sleeve and plays them around.

Seeing her coming, the group no longer dared to look down on her and saluted her respectfully.

Wei Xiyin nodded slightly, then turned to look at the woman beside her. She bowed and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to see me off in person." They will meet again soon anyway.

Yuan Yuwan understood and replied softly, "As you should. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. You have helped me so much. When we pacify Yizhou in the future, I hope you will have the opportunity to visit Zhongshan again."

Wei Xiyin restrained her expression and said, "There will definitely be a chance." But in her heart she was complaining that she would have to attend the wedding when the time comes.

It’s getting late, we can’t delay any longer.

Wei Xiyin and others exchanged greetings and said goodbye to the generals, then led the army and a hundred war horses to prepare to set off.

Wei Li was silent for a while and sent them all the way out of the city.

General Chen made a bitter face and waved his hand. The banner bearers behind him pulled up the flags and followed. The mighty army of tens of thousands of people disappeared from sight.

The people in the city silently watched their departing backs, and the city gate slowly closed with the sound of horse hooves and footsteps.

The sun is scorching, but the dry summer has not yet passed.

Outside, there was only cracked, barren land with withered grass and trees. It seemed a hopeless world, and a deathly silence permeated the air.

Hundreds of war horses were firmly protected by the Wei family army. The leather protective gear was not breathable. Every once in a while, the soldiers would feed them water and use ice bottles to cool the horses down to prevent them from heatstroke.

Bubai is also among them.

Wei Xiyin put a red collar around its neck, making it very conspicuous and easily visible. She was mainly worried that she wouldn't be able to recognize it when she got home, as those black horses all looked the same.

The huge team hurried on their way, with the Wei family army leading the way, and General Chen leading 9,000 soldiers following behind them.

There were a large number of people, and they carried many food carts, as well as horses. They had to take the official road all the way, and their speed was not fast. By nightfall, they had just left the territory of Zhongren County and were still within the territory of Zhongshan State.

At this rate, it would take at least two or three days to get out of Zhongshan and enter Anping County.

Wei Mingqian sent out three teams of 100 people to set out ahead of time to search for the zombie tide in Anping County.

In the entire Zhongshan country, Zhongshan County is the only one without any monsters. There are no barricades outside to block the way, and wandering zombies often appear.

period.

After they left Zhongren County, they encountered a small wave of zombies in Zhongshan.

There were about seven or eight hundred of them, and they were quickly dealt with by the Wei family army. The soldiers of the vanguard camp were walking behind, and even the news did not reach them.

It was only then that General Chen noticed that some of the Wei family soldiers had very unique weapons. The spear heads were very sharp, not as sharp as iron, and the spear shafts were relatively long, making them particularly useful for killing zombies.

Comparing it with the long iron swords in their hands, it always feels a bit shabby.

Rest at night.

A group of people gathered together to discuss how to clear out the zombie tide in Anping County.

Among them was General Chen.

Before leaving, His Highness had already instructed him to follow Miss Wei's instructions in everything.

Cookie shook his head and said, "Terrain is very important. Those zombies have no intelligence. We can lure them to an open area that is blocked on three sides. Plant explosives in advance and create a starting point for the fire. Using fire and explosives can eliminate most of the zombies."

Such a place is not difficult to find. There are abandoned fields everywhere, which are vast and without any obstructions, enough to accommodate a spectacular army of monsters.

Chu Yu glanced at the huge army not far away. It was very difficult to find a place to accommodate so many people at night, and they also had to garrison and encircle the area.

He said, "Too many people would restrict our operations. Yu suggests splitting up the troops into four groups and clearing them further into Anping County. If we encounter a large zombie wave, we can divert them first, using terrain or explosives."

Wei Xiyin felt that what the two gentlemen said made sense, and nodded, "Indeed."

"However, the war horses should not be left here. We should send some people back first and report that they are safe so that the elders won't worry."

With so many people, it takes half a day just to cook a meal.

General Chen listened to their discussion silently. He was just following orders and just wanted to prevent his soldiers from dying.

The discussion process was quick.

Wei Xiyin formulated a strategy, and a thousand Wei family soldiers took their war horses back first.

The other 12,000 men were divided into four groups and entered Anping County from different directions. They had limited explosives and tried to use fire attacks as the main method.

Let’s not talk about what happened afterwards.

On the third day, the huge team finally left Zhongshan and entered Anping County.

There are scouts waiting here to report the situation.

"My lady, a large zombie swarm has been discovered twenty miles east of Fuze. There are approximately thirty thousand of them, and they are migrating towards Fuze County."
