Chapter 12: Dividing the Battlefield
Saada Empire, the city-state of Illeglan.
The number of zombies is increasing, so many that Lord Jer has truly experienced the taste of fear.
If at the beginning, Lord Jer could still choose to lead his army to abandon the city and flee, and break out after paying a heavy price, then now his 20,000 horses and horses will be killed even if they break through in this zombie pile.
At the beginning, he was afraid of the people and baggage in the city, coupled with the chivalry hidden in his heart, so he has been hesitant.
Now, he had no choice but to pray to the gods, but fortunately there was plenty of food and grass in the city, and he could still wait quietly for the group of zombies to leave.
Of course, this is just the wishful thinking of Lord Jer, the zombie siege has always been more and more, if it weren't for Queen Lina's rescue later, he could only choose to fight to the death with hundreds of thousands of zombies in more and more despair.
"Although the pigeon has been passed to the queen a few days ago, but now that the queen has just succeeded to the throne, and the western region is still recuperating, it is estimated that there is no energy to take care of it here. ”
Lord Győr thought pessimistically, basically not holding out much hope for the queen's assistance.
This is still unbeknownst to our Lord of Jer, and the zombies besieging their city are only a little more than 80,000 now.
The real zombie army has long been chasing our general General Eyre, Admiral Elier, and his 70,000 elites, which are millions of troops, so scared that our battle-hardened Admiral Elier does not dare to turn back, and runs away in the starry night.
I just don't know if Lord Jer will feel lucky if he knows this news, anyway, he is very complicated in his heart now.
The western border of the Saada Empire, the Lanting Mountains.
Rovan had been following the Queen's army for a week, and now they had just crossed the Lanting Mountains to the edge of the western region.
At this point, they were out of the mountainous terrain, and in a few days they would reach the city-state of Illigran. At the same time, this also means that they are about to start running into zombie legions, as for the number, it all depends on fate and not joking with them.
Although the queen now has 50,000 horses, the number of zombies is not yet known, so they are careful along the way. Basically, the vanguard of 1,000 people will open the way, if there are a small number of zombies, they will be cleaned up directly, and if there are a large number, they will make a decisive detour.
Under this strategy, although the army also encountered a lot of zombies on the road, there was no difference between zombies without numerical superiority and lambs to be slaughtered. After cleaning up thousands of zombies and paying only a few hundred people, Wang Shi finally reached his destination without danger.
On a hill a few kilometers west of Illeglan, Rofan was holding a telescope and looking out at the city-state besieged by zombies in the distance.
For Luo Fan, who had already experienced the siege of zombies many times, he could see at a glance that the number of zombies here was not very large, no more than 100,000 at most.
Unlike the time when he rescued the princess in the city-state of Lusifa, the siege of hundreds of thousands of zombies, Luo Fan still remembers it vividly.
But even in such a siege, General Set can still fight his way out of the siege with 13,000 men, despite the influence of General Seth's wise leadership, the knights' fearlessness, and Luo Fan's containment on the periphery.
But don't forget that they are not the same as that time now, Queen Lina now has 50,000 people in her hands, and it is basically trivial to deal with this little zombie.
Now the difficulty is how to get rid of these zombies at the lowest cost, and transport all the people and useful materials in the city to the western region, Luo Fan couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.
Lina had countless question marks in her heart at the moment, because Luo Fan had been standing there in a daze for a long time holding a strange object on the hillside in the distance.
Not long ago, she had just sent a book to the city-state of Illeglan, and at this time she was trying to discuss the next battle plan with Luo Fan, after all, the sentry in front had not returned, and she didn't know how many zombies were here this time.
By the time Lina approached, Luo Fan had already observed the situation. Seeing Lina walking towards here, Luo Fan also walked over head-on.
"You go and inform the lords of Illeglan now, the number of zombies is not particularly large, let them prepare to break out. As soon as he approached, before Lina could speak, Luo Fan couldn't wait to say.
"That's... So how do we respond to them? Lina was visibly stunned for a moment, and then said, obviously not having any objection to Luo Fan's words.
"No, no, no, I'm going to divide the battlefield and send all these demons back to hell. Luo Fan said mysteriously.
"......", Linna said helplessly, but she didn't say anything, but the next news that the sentry fed back was the same as Luo Fan's made Lina completely relieved.
Zombies are known to be slow to move and can only pose a threat to the human regular army when they have a numerical advantage. Basically, on the battlefield, zombies ten times the size of a human army can make an elite army have no other way but to escape.
And the more zombie legions there are, the stronger the combat effectiveness.
Based on this principle, Luo Fan divided the army into five armies of 10,000 people, and pulled as many zombies as possible from four directions.
The remaining zombies were handed over to the troops in the city and the remaining team, thus dividing the battlefield into five, maximizing the contact area between the army and the zombie army, facilitating the army to fight, and effectively weakening the combat effectiveness of the zombies.
And Luo Fan also set the time point of the war in the early morning, which was to avoid the battle lasting too long and entering the night battle.
Countless lessons have proved that these demons can become extremely powerful at night, so fighting these demons at night when human vision is blocked is simply self-defeating.
The battle continued into the afternoon, also thanks to the slow and fearless zombies. After being successfully separated by Luo Fan, it was basically the zombies colliding with the army's swords in a porcelain manner, and the unilateral slaughter naturally ended quickly.
At least the zombies surrounding Illigran have basically been wiped out, and the few remaining ones are hardly a threat to the army.
Luo Fan did not go to the battlefield, as I said before, although Luo Fan is the strongest bloodline in Sam Star, but except for the long lifespan, there is no difference from ordinary people.
Even since he had no military training, he could now be easily defeated by just an elite human soldier.
Standing on the hillside far away from the battlefield, looking at the battle below, Luo Fan couldn't help but feel the blood rolling, as if there was some kind of power awakening, but after a while, it seemed to be pressed down by a force, and quickly disappeared without a trace.
This is not the first time that Luo Fan has experienced this situation, and every time there is a large-scale battle, Luo Fan will feel this way.
Luo Fan could feel that this power was very powerful, so powerful that it terrified him, as if there was a devil hiding in his body, ready to consume him at any moment.
