I plant zombies in the last days

Chapter 385 Xiangyuan City

In the City of Light, Gong Ziqian was lying on the hospital bed, his face pale.

The weather finally cleared up for a few days, but last night, it suddenly snowed again.

The cold air outside the window forced its way into the room through the gap, which made Gong Ziqian's face turn pale again.

The adjutant brought a quilt and covered Gong Ziqian's body, making him more comfortable.

Gong Ziqian stretched his neck, squeezed the quilt with his chin, and asked weakly, "Why is the sound of the cannons gone?"

While fiddling with the fire, the adjutant replied: "The wind and snow are too heavy, the Qin army has retreated!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Gong Ziqian suddenly coughed violently, the adjutant hurried forward and patted his back.

The adjutant felt unworthy for Gong Ziqian, the situation has reached this point, why bother to be buried with the three major groups?
Don't be this broken general, go back to the border and continue to lead a group of brothers, how can there be such troubles in killing zombies.

It will not be overworked and sick from overwork.

Gong Ziqian has his own ambitions, and his abilities are useless. That kind of loneliness is worse than death.

So what about being buried with the three major groups as long as you can use what you have learned in your life?

Gong Ziqian's cough improved a little, so he panted and asked, "Qin's northwest and southwest, the two armies, is there any movement?"

"Today's news hasn't arrived yet, maybe we have to wait a little longer!"

The adjutant was speaking when there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in!"

An intelligence agent covered in snow walked in with a gust of cold wind.

"Report, today's information has arrived!"

The adjutant asked: "Is it the information of Qin, Northwest, and Southwest armies?"

The intelligence officer replied: "Yes!"

Gong Ziqian hurriedly urged: "Read!"

The intelligence agent unfolded the information and read it aloud.

"Qin State, the southwestern army launched a surprise attack last night, and six cities including An County, Gaoyan Town, and Xinling City fell one after another."

"Qin State, the Northwest Army, raided Beiguang City, Yangshan City, and Suning Town in the early morning of this morning. As of ten o'clock today, only Suning Town is still in our hands!"

Gong Ziqian recalled the locations of these cities, and was immediately shocked.

"Cough, cough, hurry... hurry up and order the whole army to withdraw westward, hurry up!"

The adjutant was a little confused, he knew the location of the city mentioned in the intelligence.

Those cities are so far away from the City of Light that they can't threaten the main force at all, so why are they suddenly withdrawing?
This is the gap, the adjutant only saw two or three steps, but Gong Ziqian had already seen dozens of steps behind.

Gong Ziqian was panting too much, the adjutant poured some warm water for Gong Ziqian, and Gong Ziqian recovered a lot.

After Gong Ziqian came over, he explained: "Although those cities are extremely far away from here, and they are not even in the urban agglomeration of the central plain, the successive loss of those cities has already shown that the Qin State's northwest and southwest armies Adjusted the direction of the main attack. One to the south and the other to the north, this is clearly going to cut off our retreat!"

Hearing this, the adjutant's face became extremely ugly, "Then I will deliver your order now!"

"Wait, I have something to explain."

The adjutant hurried over and listened carefully.

"You send reliable people to guard Xiangyuan City first. As long as Xiangyuan City is in our hands, we can sit back and relax. But if Xiangyuan City is lost, even if I have great abilities, I will be powerless!"

The adjutant nodded solemnly, "Okay, I'll do it now!"

Xiangyuan City is located on the Jiuqu Corridor between the Jishan Mountains and the Zixu Mountains.

It is not only a traffic artery between the central and western regions, but also a strategically important place.

There are high mountains on both sides of the Jiuqu Corridor. It can be said that whoever controls Xiangyuan City controls the lifeline of transportation in the central and western regions.

Gong Ziqian's move was not bad.

In other words, the adjutant took the order signed by Gong Ziqian himself, found the generals, and conveyed the order for the entire army to retreat.

The faces of all the generals who received the order were not very good!
It was such a cold day, and it was very windy and snowy. The soldiers hid in the tents, and they were all shivering from the cold. If they were to retreat in the snow, wouldn't it be an outrage?

With a cold face, the adjutant said directly: "This is a military order, and those who disobey the order will be executed!"

The generals reluctantly accepted the order.

Then the adjutant asked again, who is willing to lead troops to guard Xiangyuan City.

Generals Zhang Ji and Cai Mao stood up at the same time.

"I would like to go!"

"I go!"

When all the generals saw the two, they all showed admiration.

Back then, Chairman Yun Hanfei was defeated and killed, and the two generals were captured along with hundreds of thousands of coalition troops.

Everyone else surrendered, only the two generals, who would rather die than surrender for money and power, were loyal to the three major groups.

Later, he fled back with injuries all over his body.

Such a loyal character is rare nowadays!

If Qin Hao knew what the coalition soldiers were thinking, he would laugh until his stomach ached.

I have to say that Zhang Ji and Cai Mao are born actors.

It was obviously sent (driven) back by Qin Hao, but they insisted that they escaped by themselves.

For the sake of realism, the two also spent a lot of money, beat each other with injuries all over their bodies, and then lay down outside the City of Light.

Whoever saw that miserable scene would not praise him, "This is really a loyal man!"

At this time, the two of them took the initiative to take on this grueling job, and everyone admired their integrity even more.

Everyone really overestimated the integrity of the two of them.

In fact, since the two of them came back, there were only two bare-bones commanders under their command, whether they wanted soldiers or guns.

The reason why they are so active this time is that they heard the word "leading troops".

In the last days, it is the last word to have soldiers in hand, and the two of them have already figured it out in their hearts. When they arrive in Xiangyuan City, they will be able to make up for all the property lost in the last war.

The two are very good at adding exorbitant taxes.

Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, the adjutant did not doubt the motives of the two, so he entrusted them with the heavy responsibility of guarding Xiangyuan City.

If Qin Hao knew, he would definitely shout, "This is, the real crouching dragon, and the young phoenix!"

Gong Ziqian could think of the importance of Xiangyuan City, how could the Qin army, who had planned for a long time, not think of it?

Zhou Lin and Xue Lingyun of the Northwest Army of the Qin State led 1 people in person, and went straight to Xiangyuan City with only weapons and dry food.

Just in case, Qin's southwestern army also dispatched Ye Zi and Meng Mingbo to lead a troop towards Xiangyuan City.

The three armies are running towards the same goal from different directions. Whoever arrives first can take the absolute initiative and even control the direction of the entire war. Everyone is desperately hurrying.

The snow was strong and the wind was strong, and the visibility was only a dozen meters.

The troop truck in front of Zhou Lin slid directly into a ditch more than ten meters deep because it was driving too fast. Fortunately, the snow at the bottom of the ditch was thick, and the soldiers inside were only injured, nothing serious.

Just as the convoy stopped for rescue, a large number of zombies emerged from the wind and snow and rushed towards the crowd.

Only then did everyone realize that the wind chimes on the roof of the car had already been frozen by the wind and snow and could no longer make a sound.

No one knew how many zombies were hidden in the wind and snow, and the atmosphere of the entire convoy fell into extreme depression.
