The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 294
In Sujiazhuang, two hundreds of households from the bodyguard department led an army to the north.

In this field full of zombies, only the guards can deal with it comprehensively if they want to wipe out the bandits from the north.

This is not to say that Cui Xing'an's troops are useless, but that they are relatively inferior, so they can only act as reinforcements and follow behind Xu Chen's troops.

They are all infantry, and they have to kill the zombies they encounter along the way, so the marching speed is not fast.

The palace has plenty of supplies. In addition to spreading bamboo armor to every soldier, it also equips all the guards with bows and arrows, which allows them to kill in long and short distances.

Leading the team to the forefront, Xu Yu frowned and thought about the next thing. As the commander of this battle, he is definitely the person with the most tired mind.

At this moment, Chen Yuhe immediately came to Xu Yu's side, and said in a deep voice, "Old Xu, have any of the scouts you sent back?"

Xu Yu replied calmly: "A group came back half an hour ago and reported that there was no enemy within ten miles!"

"The scouts I sent also reported that no enemy was seen!" Chen Yuhe nodded.

Although they are confident in their own strength, they will never underestimate the enemy, so they will take every battle very seriously.

The large group of people continued to move forward, but at this moment, twenty miles ahead of them, the spy horse of the palace was discovered by someone else.

When Xu and Chen sent out scouts, Zhu Xiaoyong himself was not idle, and also sent spies to investigate the situation.

They have a lot of horses, so each team can have three or five people.

When they walked near Andu County, they found the guards who came from the north. The two people in this group were sent by Xu Yu to inquire about the situation.

Xu Yu and Chen Yuhe sent a total of 20 scouts, but they all formed a small group of two, and they searched in a carpet-like manner over a long distance.

The two guards who were discovered left the place on horseback after assessing the situation outside Andu County.

As they continued on, they did not realize that the danger was approaching.

Finally, when they heard the sound of horseshoes, the spies of the bandit army to the north were no more than twenty or thirty feet away.

Danger is coming, but when the danger is discovered, there is actually no danger.

The number of people on the opposite side has an advantage, but there are only four of them, and the two guards are not afraid at all.

What's more, one's own side still has armor, while the other side has only simple protection, so it is not difficult to defeat them.

The speed on the other side is fast, and it is definitely not possible to hit them directly. If they are hit by others on the spot, they may be knocked into the air.

So the two guards clamped the horse's belly, and then waved the whip to speed up.

As long as the speed is raised, they can use the tactics of outflanking and outflanking to kill the four people who came over.

The speed of the guards increased rapidly, and finally maintained a distance of ten feet from Zhu's army, one running in front and the other chasing behind.

All the spies of the Zhu family's army were holding sabers. They were the best equestrians in the army, and they could charge with sabers in their hands.

It's a pity that they don't have long-distance attack weapons, so the distance of ten feet has become a natural barrier, and it is impossible for them to break through.

But the two guards in front slowly took off the bow and arrow from their backs, and it was extremely difficult to make a bow and arrow posture.

Why is it extremely difficult?Because this is a very difficult thing, only a qualified cavalry can shoot back, and they are not qualified cavalry.

But just this gesture scared the people behind, they turned their horses' heads and scattered.

This separation, they can't help each other, but they can't support each other.

The two guards slowly adjusted their direction, spotted one of the bandits and chased after them, and the remaining three regrouped to pursue after confirming their safety.

So this formed three echelons of front, middle and back, and the ones in the back chased and killed the ones in front.

It was too difficult to shoot back, but it was much easier to shoot forward, so at this moment the two guards pulled up the bowstring and shot two arrows swishing.

The horse's back shook violently, so both of them shot in the air, but the sound of breaking through the air frightened the person in front.

"put……"

A guard roared, but didn't shoot an arrow at all, but it also scared the person in front.

The guard laughed loudly, and when the person in front realized that he had been cheated, another guard immediately shot one.

The arrow hit the rear of the horse in front of it, and the horse went berserk immediately, and ran wildly.

Although the spies sent by the government were all the best in the army, they were still thrown off the horse when the horse went berserk.

In fact, when they were chasing each other, the commotion caused a lot of zombies, so falling off the horse was equivalent to death.

Not only could they not get off their horses, but they had to maintain their speed, and being entangled by corpses was also troublesome.

At this moment, the man who fell to the ground panicked to get on his horse, but was soon overwhelmed by zombies.

And the injured horse was also surrounded by zombies at this moment, tearing its fresh flesh and blood.

The screams of people and the neighing of horses are particularly bleak.

The guards and the members of the Zhu family's army all rushed away at this moment. They had to get out of the group of corpses as soon as possible, otherwise they would surely kill themselves.

But while breaking away from the zombies, the two guards made a big circle and finally appeared on the left side of Zhu Jiajun's scout.

Originally, the members of the Zhu family's army were chasing after them, but now they are advancing side by side, with a distance of more than ten zhang between them.

One of the guards drew his knife and slowly approached the three of Zhu's army, while the other harassed them with a bow and arrow.

This forced the three members of Zhu's army to keep a distance from each other, otherwise they were likely to be shot.

And this kind of passive separation once again gave the palace guards a chance to defeat them.

Although Zhu Jiajun's scouts are superior in all aspects, their overall quality is still inferior to that of the palace guards.

The guards were originally the elite of the Forbidden Army, but this time they are not only well-equipped, but have also been upgraded by Zhao Yanxun, Zhu's army's superiority in numbers is useless at all.

So when the guards approached, the two only fought three or four times, and the scout Zhu Jiajun fell off his horse again.

The horse ran away, and the man quickly got up and galloped forward desperately, trying to escape the zombies chasing behind him.

The one who fell off the horse's back was nothing to worry about, so the two guards continued to adjust their direction to take down the remaining two.

Now they were able to confirm that these people were bandits from the north, and since they were enemies, they had to be killed.

The two guards cooperated with each other and repeated the previous action again. Then the third man was shot off his horse, and he was chased by zombies, and in the end there was only one dead end.

Zhu Jiajun's scout, now there is only one person left, and three companions were killed in succession, which made him lose the fighting spirit to continue to fight, so he turned his horse and ran for his life.

The two guards followed quickly. They would never let this person leave alive. Even if they couldn't capture him alive, they must silence them.

The three people chased forward, and soon disappeared on the official road.
