Strategy.

The Roman and Greek phalanxes staved off whole columns of armed warriors who were motivated to kill them. They would make mincemeat of zombies.

Add in cavalry, firearms and modern weapons as a multiplier and very quickly the old ways could save mankind.

As to the weapons? Armor, spear, shortsword and shield, horses, ranged weapon of choice.
