Chapter 253: The Zhang family is treasonous

The remaining 80,000 people were divided into two teams and arranged on the left and right sides of the ghost corpse army, and several rows of soldiers in the front row lifted heavy shields, constantly gathering the ghost corpses scattered on both sides to the middle.

Behind the shield men on either side were a large number of archers, firing arrows at the densest spots in the middle of the Zombie Legion. This style of play can make the ghost corpses in the center of the ghost corpse army, and the ghost corpses that have been shot and wounded can only eat each other because they can't find other corpses.

Although the Ghost Legion on the east side launched its advance a few hours later than the Zombie Legion on the west side, due to the open plain where the Ghost Legion and the Fourth Legion were fighting, the speed of the two sides was much faster than that of the Underground Mountain Area in the Tailuo Mountains. Therefore, the actual battle time between these two battlefields is actually less than half an hour.

The battle on the battlefield of the Tailao Mountains continued until noon the next day, when the First Army suddenly rushed out of the deep mountains of the Taigao Mountains. The First Legion, which occupies the favorable terrain in high places, uses boulders, bows and arrows to continuously pour down on the zombie legions, causing mass casualties to the zombie legions in the lower places. For a time, the zombie legion, which was originally in a stalemate with the second legion, fell into a disadvantage.

Next, the First Legion sent another 150,000 troops to the rear of the Zombie Legion, preparing to cooperate with the Second Legion to encircle the Zombie Legion from the rear of the Zombie Legion. If all goes well, it is expected that the closure will be completed in two to three days.

On the third day after the battle between the eastern and western battlefields began, the 270,000-strong army of Uromon in the middle also marched towards the Third Army. The Third Legion of Yanyun Kingdom, with the Thirty-Fifth Army as the vanguard, went forward to meet the Skeleton Legion. At noon that day, the troops of both sides fought on a frozen river.

The Skeleton Legion is basically the same as the Zombie Legion, and is controlled by powerful Skeleton Generals. Among the more than 40,000 skeleton generals, some are people in the ghost path who have cultivated themselves into skeletons, and some are skeleton generals who have become ancient skeleton soldiers by absorbing death qi and constantly improving their strength to cultivate their self-awareness.

Skeletons are the easiest to obtain, as long as they are crafted from human bones. The only thing to note is that the quality requirements for refining skeletons are different, and the number of human bones required is also different. The 270,000 skeleton legions in front of him were the strongest skeleton soldiers that the Ghost Sect could refine—heavily armored skeleton soldiers.

One of the more troublesome aspects of eliminating skeletons is that they must be smashed into pieces and the ghostly fire floating in the skeleton's eyes in order to kill them completely. Otherwise, in such a large-scale battle, skeleton soldiers who have only broken limbs can pick up other bones from the ground and pick them up for themselves, and continue to fight without any damage.

Therefore, the 350,000 troops directly under the Zhan Yanyun royal clan against the 270,000 skeleton army can be called evenly matched at most. Due to the tirelessness of the skeleton soldiers, it may not take more than a few days for the remaining 150,000 troops of the Third Army to come to support.

On the night of the fourth day after the battle in the Ice Plains Theater began, on the battlefield where the Fourth Army and the Ghost Corpse Army were fighting on the east side, in a dense forest further east, thousands of wasteland beasts suddenly rushed out of it and roared to shock the entire battlefield, rushing horizontally towards the 250,000 army led by Zhao Haojun.

If these fierce beasts rush into the rear of the military formation, it will inevitably cause the entire army to collapse, and even the danger of annihilation.

After four days of continuous fighting with the crazy ghost corpses, Zhao Haojun's troops were already tired at this time, and many wounded were replaced in four days, and now Zhao Haojun only had more than 20,000 people left to use. Zhao Haojun made a quick decision and led more than 20,000 people to stop the fierce beast from rushing into the military formation that was fighting with the Ghost Corpse Legion.

Zhao Haojun took the lead in fighting against the fierce beast for more than an hour, and more than half of his more than 20,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, and he himself was seriously injured at this time. But these thousands of fierce beasts were not scattered, and they continued to rush towards the fighting army formation with fierce momentum. At this critical moment, Zhao Haoxiong, the fifth elder of the Zhao family, led an army of 100,000 to support, which stabilized the situation.

At noon on the fifth day of the battle in the ice field theater, the 35th Army of the Third Army Corps, which had been engaged with the skeleton army in the central battlefield, suddenly found more than 100,000 people of its own army in the rear rushing towards their battlefield.

The generals who led the army also felt a little strange at this time, if they came to support, the battle had only been a day and a night, and they should not have come up to support in such a hurry? It may be that the commander-in-chief of the rear, Lord Li, has other strategic layouts, right? After all, the fighters on the battlefield are changing rapidly.

But what the leading general did not expect was that when this friendly army of more than 100,000 people reached the rear of the 350,000 army they were fighting, they suddenly launched its attack on them. The sudden sneak attack completely disrupted the originally stable situation in an instant, and the skeleton army took the opportunity to launch a general attack in one go, and the 350,000 Yanyun Kingdom army that was attacked by the enemy directly collapsed.

From this point on, it was no longer a war, but a heinous massacre. Countless soldiers were killed from behind by their former allies, and they did not understand why all this happened until they died. Unwilling wails, angry roars, and crazy roars resounded throughout the battlefield, and the frozen river was completely dyed red with blood...

In the commander's tent of the rear barracks of the Fourth Army of the Zhao Family, a scout rushed in from outside at this time, and said emotionally: "Report!! General, something is wrong!!"

Zhao Haochen, the general of the Fourth Legion, frowned slightly and said, "Don't worry, make it clear, what's wrong?"

The scout said in a trembling tone, "We found ... There are more than 100,000 troops of the Fourth Legion who are slaughtering from the rear in conjunction with the skeleton army of Urlomon... Slaughter the 350,000 troops that were fighting the Skeleton Legion. At present, the army of 350,000 people has been completely dispersed, and they have been slaughtered... ”

"What ?! someone in the army deliberately treasoned!" Zhao Hong, who was on the side, was shocked when he heard the news.

Zhao Haochen, the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Legion, said loudly: "Gather all the soldiers to go and save people, and do your best to rescue the soldiers of our Yanyun Kingdom." Also, inform the whole army that the Zhang family is treasonous!".

Zhao Hong asked puzzledly: "Boss, why are you sure that it is the Zhang family's treason?"

Zhao Haochen said: "The Zhang family has always been responsible for intelligence and assassination in China, but this time they uncharacteristically took the initiative to ask for orders to participate in the war, and even brought all the young combat power in the family, so it must be their Zhang family who can do this! Okay, there is no time to talk about gossip now, let's go quickly." ”
