While riding on his horse, Zhao Yanxun received a report from the rear army.
"One hundred and forty-five enemy soldiers were killed, sixteen of our own were killed, and one hundred and twenty horses were captured..."
Looking at the situation in the report, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but smile. Gao Zhengan's result could be called perfect.
Even if Zhao Yanxun personally leads the troops, it is difficult to guarantee that he is of this level. Commanding operations is really a technical job.
Everyone can talk on paper, but once it is put into practice, it may not be the case.
Next to him, Wang Cheng's eyes were extremely hot.
On the one hand, he wants to get more horses, and on the other hand, he also wants Gao Zhengan to have a chance to perform.
So at this moment, Wang Cheng was particularly eager for the traitor named Zhu to send someone to die.
"Pass the order, all ministries are on strict alert, beware of raids by traitors!" Wang Cheng was a little worried, so he issued the order again.
But in fact, he doesn't have to do this at all. After all, the soldiers under his command are on alert at all times and may encounter danger at any time in the wild.
"Your Majesty, look... should Gao Zheng'an give some horses to the Chinese army and the front army?"
"In this case, we can also ask the front army of the Chinese army to send more scouts!" Wang Cheng looked honest and courteous.
It's not surprising that he has the idea of "taking advantage". After all, the seized items will be returned to the public, and they are not Gao Zhengan's own property.
Ignoring Wang Cheng, Zhao Yanxun directly ordered: "Send an order to Gao Zhengan and ask him to write down the names of the dead and properly arrange the wounded!"
After the messenger left, Zhao Yanxun said to Wang Cheng: "I want to give you some horses, but not now. We will wait until the afternoon when the army is stationed!"
Hearing this, Wang Cheng felt relieved a lot, as long as Gao Zhengan was not allowed to "take it all for himself".
Wang Cheng chuckled: "My lord, these traitors are really incompetent. They lost so many people under one attack. It seems that it is not difficult for us to defeat them!"
Zhao Yanxun shook his head and then said: "You still have to be cautious!"
"yes!"
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, but two scouts came hand in hand.
"Reporting to your Majesty, we discovered that those traitors are leading monsters towards our army!"
"We couldn't find their large army. We only saw these thieves in teams of twenty or thirty people, riding horses to attract monsters..."
The two scouts explained the situation to Zhao Yanxun.
To lure the zombies this way, Zhu Jinzhang used a good strategy to kill people with a borrowed knife.
Didn't he want to borrow a knife to kill someone? Then why didn't he do the opposite and let the knife in his hand stab him?
"Send an order to Gao Zheng'an and ask him to select fifty sergeants who can ride horses from the army and bring a hundred horses to the central army!"
"Also, the selected sergeants must be able to shoot arrows. Let them bring more arrows and bring over all the enemy's dead men and horses!"
"As you command!"
Seeing Zhao Yanxun's arrangement, Wang Cheng on the side asked strangely: "Does the prince want to form a cavalry?"
This guy is not that stupid, so he just heard Zhao Yanxun say: "That's right, you should also quickly select fifty people. It's the same request!"
When Zhao Yanxun was preparing the cavalry, a large number of zombies had been attracted, but this process was very tortuous.
Zhu Jinzhang dispersed his men. Although this can drive the zombies to the maximum extent, it also weakens the ability of each team to withstand blows.
Three of the fifteen teams under his command have suffered heavy losses, with about a hundred people killed in battle.
Combined with Zhu Xiaoan's losses, his total losses had exceeded two hundred, and this was before the main battle between the two armies.
At this time, the determination of the commander is increasingly tested.
Sitting on the horse, Zhu Jinzhang listened to the scout's report with an expression on his face.
Before he could say anything, Zhu Xiaohe on the side scolded: "Zhu Xiaoan, this idiot, let him harass you...how dare he attack by force? Who does he think he is!"
After the scouts retreated, they heard Zhu Jinzhang say slowly: "Didn't you hear that he broke through the Yong army's defense line and cut its army into two pieces?"
"If you had achieved such results, you might not be able to help yourself and lead your army to fight Yong's army in an attempt to defeat Yong's army in one fell swoop!"
Looking up at the sky full of dark clouds, Zhu Jinzhang sighed: "You can't blame Xiao'an for this, you can only blame Yong's army for being too strong!"
In fact, there was one thing Zhu Jinzhang didn't say, which was that his side was too weak.
Zhu Xiaohe said: "Brother, it's not a big deal. As long as our strategy succeeds this time, Yong Jun will be dead!"
Their dozens of teams attracted nearly 20,000 zombies, and they were all brought to the Yong Army formation. No matter how powerful these people were, they could not stop them.
Zhu Jinzhang was not that optimistic, but said solemnly: "It must be stable, and there must be no mistakes!"
From morning to now, Zhu Jinzhang and his men have spent a lot of effort in "driving away" these zombies.
Because of this, the closer it is to success, the more cautious they must be.
"Okay, I'll take someone to patrol!"
"Go for it!"
After Zhu Xiaoan left, Zhu Jinzhang sighed, the situation was still unfavorable for him.
Fortunately, he has made final preparations. Even if he loses this battle, there is still a chance to continue to deal with Yong's army.
He is a person who never admits defeat. Even if he only has one breath left, he will pick up weapons and continue fighting.
…
When the "army" of zombies gradually approached, Zhao Yanxun had already assembled nearly a hundred riders, all of whom were temporarily selected.
At this moment, the army has stopped on its way and is building fortifications. Next, they have to fight a tough battle.
It should be noted that Zhao Yanxun later issued a new order to combine the three front, middle and rear armies into one place.
It has to be said that Zhu Jinzhang's use of borrowing a knife to kill people was so good that Zhao Yanxun had to fight with all his strength.
The three armies have now joined forces, and based on a small village they passed through, they have built three layers of defenses, both inner and outer.
Every five or six miles, you can basically encounter a village. Their front, middle and rear armies stretch for nearly ten miles. It is too easy to find a village.
Zhao Yanxun did not need to worry about building a defense. At this moment, he was giving instructions to the newly formed cavalry.
These hundred or so people will be divided into five groups, and their mission is to destroy the Ming army's plan.
The Ming army lured the zombies over, and their task was to lure the zombies back. If they encountered the Ming army, they had to shoot them.
In order to seduce zombies, Zhao Yanxun asked Gao Zhengan to bring the corpses of enemy soldiers and horses. The smell of blood from the corpses was very attractive to zombies.
Looking at the soldiers in front of him, Zhao Yanxun asked in a deep voice: "Did you all hear clearly what I just said?"
"Listen clearly!"
The soldiers' voices were loud, and all of them showed full fighting will, because this was Zhao Yanxun personally giving the combat order.
"The safety of the army rests on your shoulders. Now that you all understand, let's go!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
