Looking at the increasingly gloomy sky, Zhu Jinzhang looked worried.
"I just hope God will go and let it rain at this time!" Zhu Jinzhang murmured.
Once it rains, the activity of the zombies will be reduced, and then Yong's army can break out of the encirclement.
Standing on the hillside, looking at the rushing corpses in the distance, Zhu Jinzhang cheered in his heart.
It will be dark in another hour, and then the Yong Army's defense pressure will be even greater.
When the time comes, I can think of some way, and maybe I can break through the Yong Army's defense line in one fell swoop, and this crisis will be resolved.
For Zhu Jinzhang, using zombies to attack Yong's army was his most proud plan in this round of battle.
His current mood included both the joy of being victorious and the fear of an accident. It was truly a mixture of happiness and sorrow.
At this moment, several flying horses arrived, and they looked like they were dressed like scouts.
Zhu Jinzhang had many horses in his army, so he could eliminate as many scouts as possible, which made it easier for him to control the overall situation and command the army.
"What's up?"
"Your Majesty, there are four teams of us. We were... were..."
"What's going on? Tell me!" Zhu Jinzhang said angrily.
"Total wiped out!"
Zhu Jinzhang was immediately furious when he heard him say in a gloomy tone: "Outside Beixi Village, there are only 70 or 80 people in the Yong Army. Could it be that these people are gathered together? Why didn't you notice?"
In Zhu Jinzhang's view, the only way to annihilate a group of his men was to assemble all the free Yong troops.
The scout quickly replied: "Your Majesty, it's impossible for Yong's army to gather together. Just now, two groups of people appeared in the south. The brothers who had the accident are all in the north!"
"And... all of them died in extremely miserable conditions. Some were cut in half, some had their weapons cut off, and some were shot..."
Speaking of this, the scout suddenly remembered something and took out an arrow from behind.
"Look, my lord, this is the arrow that shot our brothers to death. It is completely different from the arrows used by Yong's army!"
Seeing this arrow, Zhu Jinzhang's heart trembled. No one was more familiar with this kind of arrow than him.
The scout was still explaining: "My lord, please see, the arrows used by Yong's army are made of slightly different materials than this one. This arrow shaft is harder, the arrowheads are sharper, and the arrow feathers are more regular... At first glance, they are carefully crafted!
"
Summarizing the difference, the scout couldn't explain why, so he could only say that it was carefully crafted.
Picking up the arrow and looking at the dried blood on it, Zhu Jinzhang said viciously: "It's him..."
He was very familiar with this kind of arrow, and even had it on the wooden shelf in his bedroom.
Because he was injured by this arrow, Zhu Jinzhang almost lost his life.
The so-called enemy is extremely jealous when he meets him. Not to mention his own hatred, he has lost so many brothers this time, so he must kill the murderer hiding in the dark.
Zhu Jinzhang said coldly: "These Yong troops hiding in the dark killed our people with sneak attacks. We must find them and kill them, otherwise there will be endless trouble!"
These people are so fierce, which means that more people must be mobilized, otherwise they will die.
It was clear that Yong's army was surrounded and he had an advantage, but now this advantage made Zhu Jinzhang feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
From the beginning to the end, he never took it easy.
"Give me the order. Let the people assigned from Zhu Xiaoan stay behind to guard against the Yong Army's cavalry. Then let the six teams to the south stay. The rest will all go north... to encircle and suppress the Yong Army in the dark!"
Zhu Xiaoan still had more than 400 men under his command. He himself took 300 men to block the road. The remaining more than 100 troops were transferred back by Zhu Jinzhang.
Excluding the troops that have been lost, Zhu Jinzhang still has about 800 troops at his disposal.
With this move, he was actually going to lead more than 300 people northward and use a blanket search method to bring out Zhao Yanxun who was hiding in the dark.
Originally, these troops were used to prevent Zhang He and others from causing sabotage, but now a large number of people had to be mobilized to leave.
It can be said that Zhu Jinzhang is in a state of confusion right now.
Their battle line spread for about five or six miles, and conveying orders on horseback could be completed quickly.
So the army began to gather again, and then, under the leadership of Zhu Jinzhang, began to search north.
Their target was too big. Before Zhao Yanxun discovered Zhu Jinzhang, the corpse group discovered them first.
The zombies that were supposed to attack Beixi Village actually came to the Ming army in large numbers, disrupting their search formation.
Zhu Jinzhang gritted his teeth and mobilized troops to encircle and suppress Zhao Yanxun, but he did not expect that the zombies would come back to wreak havoc.
Fortunately, the swarm of corpses only affected their march and did not cause any casualties, but this was enough to make Zhu Jinzhang disgusted.
As a result, the encirclement and suppression of Zhao Yanxun can only be abandoned. The current large-scale gathering of troops will only attract zombies.
But their "abnormal" behavior still attracted Zhao Yanxun's attention.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun came to the west of Beixi Village's defense line. At this moment, he and Zhu Jinzhang were only 500 meters apart.
Although neither party knew the other's existence, the direction Zhao Yanxun was traveling at this moment happened to be the grove where Zhu Jinzhang was hiding.
"I'm afraid it's going to rain tonight!"
"If it really rains, those monsters will definitely escape, and the Yong Army in Beixi Village will be relieved. This is not good news!"
"Hey... we have lost three to four hundred people in this expedition. I don't know what the situation is with Yong's army!"
At this point, everyone stopped talking, as they would be making mistakes if they spoke any further.
While everyone was eating dry food and looking at their surroundings from time to time, a sound broke through the air, and two people were pierced by arrows.
This was an arrow that Zhao Yanxun had fully drawn. After piercing through the two of them, it finally hit a tree.
Looking at the shaking arrow tail, the two people who had been pierced just now fell off the horse, holding their chests.
At this time, everyone finally reacted and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, be on guard..."
"alert……"
The remaining 60 or 70 people immediately formed a tight formation to protect Zhu Jinzhang behind him.
When the killer appears, you must not retreat at this time, otherwise you will only be regarded as prey.
"The arrows are coming from the southeast. The people are in that direction. Let's all rush forward together..." Zhu Jinzhang ordered.
Everyone did not doubt that he was there, so they immediately mounted their horses and marched toward the southeast, maintaining the basic formation, which was beyond Zhao Yanxun's expectation.
Since there are these "elites" here, it means there are probably big fish.
Swish, swish... seven or eight arrows were shot in succession, taking away more than a dozen lives at the same time.
Just from the direction of the arrow, Zhu Jinzhang could tell that there would not be too many people on the opposite side, only two or three people at most.
But the arrows fired by these people are truly terrifying.
"Kill him!"
They continued to attack, and now the distance had been closed. It was time to charge.
Zhao Yanxun touched the quiver and found that there were not many arrows left, so he drew his sword and went forward to kill.
At this moment, Zhu Jinzhang saw Zhao Yanxun, and Zhao Yanxun also saw Zhu Jinzhang.
As a result, Zhao Yanxun, who had just put down his bow, immediately re-opened his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at Zhu Jinzhang, who was speeding towards the opposite side.
