The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 415 Confrontation
Watching his troops leave, Zhao Yanxun himself was not idle, but went into the village to inspect.

This Zhuangzi is called Beixi Village. Its area is not very large. There are mountains in the northeast and a river in the southeast, so its defensive pressure is not very great.

Now that the three armies gathered here, Zhao Yanxun divided three lines of defense according to the terrain, and the three thousand households were in charge of one each.

Among the three lines of defense, the pressure on the north line and center line is the greatest, and Fang Sheng and Wang Cheng are responsible for the defense respectively.

The defensive pressure on the southern line was relatively small, so Zhao Yanxun handed it over to Gao Zhengan because he had the fewest subordinates.

The defense line is built on the basis of private houses, so the actual defense line is not very long, and the longest southern line is only more than 200 meters.

Come to the entrance of the village, which belongs to the center line defense zone, and there is a small road leading to the official road in front.

There are private houses on both sides of the village entrance, and the defense line here is 20 meters long, which is the most difficult place to defend for the center line.

At this moment, Fang Sheng is guarding here personally, commanding not to build a line of defense.

Seeing Zhao Yanxun's arrival, Fang Sheng hurried over.

"See Your Majesty!"

Looking ahead, Zhao Yanxun asked slowly: "I'm afraid it won't be of much use if you dig ditches now!"

"As much as you can dig, it's better than not digging at all!" Wang Cheng explained with his waist hooked.

Walking forward slowly, seeing Zhao Yanxun coming, all the soldiers around knelt down and saluted.

"What to do, don't be too polite!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.

The soldiers continued to work, and then Zhao Yanxun asked: "Aside from digging ditches, how do you plan to defend?"

"Reporting to the lord, except for the ditches, the rear is to reject the horse, and the last is the fire attack!"

"Fire attack?"

"I have ordered you to find wood, and use the strong ones to drive Juma, and use the rest as firewood!"

This arrangement is quite reasonable, Zhao Yanxun then asked: "If this line of defense is breached, what should we do?"

Wang Cheng replied solemnly: "Return to the lord, as long as the middle line is strictly guarded by the entrance of the village, even if other places are broken, you can still use the houses to resist!"

The houses in Beixi Village are densely populated, which is why Zhao Yanxun chose to defend here.

The number of zombies that Zhu Jinzhang brought in was really too much, and their army, which lacked the ability to maneuver quickly, was really at a disadvantage in defending in the wild.

"Prepare well, we must guard against them!"

"The minister will not disappoint the prince!"

Nodding his head, Zhao Yanxun continued to inspect other places, while Wang Cheng continued to direct on the spot.

"See my lord..."

"See my lord..."

"Free gift..."

Everywhere he went, Zhao Yanxun would meet soldiers saluting to him, and he had no choice but to excuse them one by one.

Looking around, the whole village is full of people busy.

Some were moving seats and benches, some were tearing down doors and beams, some were searching for firewood, and some were dragging corpses out.

These corpses were exterminated zombies in the village and needed to be cleaned out and burned.

There are not many people in the village, and they have been outflowing for more than a year, resulting in a further decrease in the number of zombies in the village.

Arriving at the highest point in the village, there is a big pagoda tree, and Zhao Yanxun jumped onto it.

Although the accompanying guards knew that Zhao Yanxun was highly skilled in martial arts, they were still intimidated by this leap of nearly two feet, which is not what a human should have.

"His Royal Highness is indeed destined..."

This thought came to the minds of the guards, because only this explanation is reasonable.

But at this moment, Zhao Yanxun was looking from a height, and he could already see a large group of corpses approaching to the northwest, only four or five miles away from the village.

The group of corpses stretched for seven or eight miles to the east, being attracted by the soldiers of the Ming army in front.

But this job is really not easy, as Zhu Xiaoan said before, there are too many difficulties in the middle.

If you don't pay attention, these sergeants who guide the zombies will be entangled by the corpses and trapped to death.

"Brother, the Yong army has retreated into the village, and the defense is much easier. This is not good news!" Zhu Xiaohe said from the side.

Zhu Jinzhang said with a smile: "Although that's the case, let's not worry. Even if the corpses can't get in, as long as we surround them for seven or eight days, we can still trap them to death!"

Zhu Xiaohe nodded repeatedly, he did not expect this.

"The corpses surrounded them, and our men were sent to block the northern exit of Tianma Castle, so that they could not get food out!"

Zhu Jinzhang smiled and said, "At that time, the Beixi Village in front will be their burial place!"

Since the start of the war, there was a rare smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was really happy at the moment.

But at this moment, a scout from a distance came on horseback, with an extremely anxious expression on his face.

"My lord, the Yong army sent cavalry to severely damage two teams of our army!"

The bad news came so suddenly, the smile on Zhu Jinzhang's face stopped abruptly.

"Cavalry? Where did the Yong army get the cavalry?" Zhu Jinzhang was extremely angry.

Before and after the launch, intelligence from various sources showed that the Yong army had no cavalry at all.

Zhu Xiaohe said from the side: "Could it be... is it our horse?"

"Xiao'an's army was defeated and retreated, but those horses remained where they were, they must have been collected by the Yong army!"

Not to mention, Zhu Xiaohe guessed it right.

"Where are they, take me there!" Zhu Jinzhang said coldly.

If he didn't kill these people himself, it would be difficult to dispel his anger.

"My lord, it's just to the southwest..."

But just after he finished speaking, another person rushed over on a flying horse and reported: "My lord, the cavalry of Prince Yong's mansion led the corpses to besiege our army, and three teams have been trapped!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jinzhang felt as if his heart had been hit hard.

Among the fifteen teams under him, three of them were hit hard, but now four of them are in danger, how can Zhu Jinzhang feel better about this.

"I'll take people to the north, Xiaohe, you go to the south, find Xiao'an... take his people, and destroy the Yong army's cavalry!"

Zhu Xiaohe also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he quickly replied: "Yes!"

So the two set off separately. Zhu Jinzhang took away more than 50 people under his command, while Zhu Xiaohe only took five or six people to the south.

At both ends of the south, there were cavalrymen from the Yong army wreaking havoc, which affected nearly seven or eight thousand zombies, and only the middle 1 or so were guided to move on. At this moment, they are not three miles away from Beixi Village.

"Woohoo... come, come..." the soldier on horseback shouted loudly.

These Ming army soldiers, they are attracting corpses to move forward.

The officer leading the team said loudly: "The village is ahead, let's get closer, bring the corpses within twenty feet, and throw the flesh and blood over there!"

In addition to being attracted by the sound, they also brought bloody pork, which they had hunted in the mountains.

The smell of blood and the sound of people attracted the zombies to move forward.

At this moment, these Ming army soldiers could already see the Yong army soldiers hiding behind the fortifications. .
At this moment, the Ming army has entered the range of 40 feet, and their team of more than [-] people can complete the task immediately.

But at this moment, I only heard a shout from the opposite side: "Shoot the arrow..."

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of piercing through the air, and six soldiers of the Ming army who guided the zombies were shot dead on the spot.
