Chapter 1717

"Rest the long spears on the ground, aim at the opposite side!"

Meng Tian's voice was very loud; the surrounding deputy generals heard it and immediately executed this order.

Soldiers holding short weapons fell back.

Soldiers holding long spears moved forward.

They did as Great General Meng Tian said.

All the long spears were rested on the ground, with the spear tips facing the infected.

This move was indeed effective and could curb the infected's charge.

But it was not long-lasting.

The infected's impact force was too great.

The long spears would tilt to one side after being hit a few times.

Only long spears firmly planted on the ground could resist the infected.

And the number of long spears could not be small.

If there were few, they wouldn't have any effect.

But this buffer was still effective.

It temporarily curbed the infected's charge.

The infected in the water channel would be washed away.

For those that weren't washed away, they could only use long spears to poke through the water channel.

Otherwise, those corpses wouldn't be able to be washed out along the water current.

The two-hundred-meter water channel was almost entirely infected corpses.

If it weren't for the fact that the water current's force was decent, it was estimated that it would be impossible to wash away so many infected.

It was fortunate that the terrain here was high on one side and low on the other.

If it were flat ground, it wouldn't be able to achieve this step.

This could be considered having the right time, the right place, and the right people.

The disadvantage was temporarily curbed.

In places where there were many infected, the soldiers would let go of the long spears and let them fall into the water.

For the time being, this method achieved an effective result.

There were also archers behind them shooting and killing.

Temporarily curbing the infected's charge.

The number of infected corpses in the water channel had not decreased.

Fortunately, there was no more blockage, and they flowed towards the lower ground along the water current.

Occasionally, one or two infected would get on shore, but they would be killed immediately.

Time passed just like that.

One hour later.

The defending soldiers were exhausted.

The reserve soldiers had been rotated batch after batch.

Finally, the number of infected began to decrease.

There were not as many as before.

But they were still charging towards here as if they didn't want to live.

It was only because there was a water channel that most of them were not in danger.

After all, one could not come into contact with the infected, otherwise there would be a risk of infection.

Meng Tian saw this scene, and the worry in his heart was also set aside.

The most violent charge could be considered to have passed for the time being.

The subsequent charges would definitely be simpler.

As long as they prevented them from coming over, it would be fine.
