Chapter 329: Zombies Attack
"The young master has gathered thousands of soldiers and horses, ready to go to support at any time, and in addition, thousands of disciples of the Mo family, led by Jian Er, are now on their way. Liang Yao said.
Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, as long as Mo Zixun knew about this, then there must be a countermeasure, and defending Qingyuan County at the moment was the top priority.
After all, Qingyuan County is an important gateway to the three northern cities, and if Qingyuan County is lost, the three northern cities will still fall into a dangerous situation.
The two discussed for a while, but saw a familiar official come forward and said to Lin Yun: "Young Master Lin, the county order is invited." ”
"I see. Lin Yun nodded.
Since he revealed his identity to Snow Scale, he no longer needed Ji Chun to hide his identity, so it represented the Mo family and officially concluded an alliance with Snow Scale.
"Early. Snow Scale glanced at Lin Yun, but said hello in a rare way.
"Well, what's the situation?" Lin Yun took a sip of the tea on the table in front of him and asked lightly.
Xue Yan smiled: "The Mo family has already sent a master to escort a group of people to Anbei City, and now we can give it a go." ”
"Your Highness, I have a question. Liang Yao, who was standing behind Lin Yun, suddenly spoke.
Say. Snow Scale replied briefly, he still had some impressions of the calm and wise young man, and he had a relationship with him when he was in Panlong Town.
"I wonder if His Highness knows anything about these zombies?" Liang Yao arched his hand.
Snow Scale was slightly stunned, and then said: "So far, I can only tell you the facts." The Snow King has a mysterious master who is the origin of this zombie rebellion, who is not only able to transform people into zombies, but also seems to have the ability to control zombies. ”
Lin Yun and Liang Yao glanced at each other, and both of them saw the shock in each other's eyes. There are really no wonders in this world, and I can't imagine that someone has such a means to defy the sky.
"What's that person's name?" Lin Yun couldn't help but ask.
Snow Scale shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't seen it either, and only the close henchmen of the Hail Snow King are qualified to know about the specific matters." ”
"Report to my lord, there are already a small group of zombies appearing in front of Qingyuan County, I don't know ......" At this time, the herald did not pass through, pushed the door in, and knelt down in front of the snow scales.
Hearing this, Snow Scale was shocked and said, "Come with me and take a look." With that, he brushed his sleeves away.
Lin Yun and Liang Yao hurriedly followed him, and the three of them climbed the city tower along the stone stairs of the city wall.
Qingyuan County has been dug in front of the pit, under the pit dense sharp bamboo poles, once they fall into it, the consequences can be imagined.
In the distance, a "person" with a touching appearance is slowly walking in the direction of Qingyuan County.
It's not so much a human being as a moving corpse.
They were covered in flesh and blood, and the tattered clothes left over from their former lives were still hanging on the rotting flesh, some of them had broken limbs, their eyes were missing, and some of them had grown a few feet of purple, white, and green hair.
But whether it is a purple-haired zombie, a black-haired zombie, or a white-haired zombie, there are terrifying blood-red fangs growing out of their mouths, and their purple-black nails have become as sharp as daggers.
The bodies of these zombies seemed to be very stiff, and their steps seemed to be a little staggering between movements, and they were slowly approaching Qingyuan County.
And the soldiers and horses of Qingyuan County were still ambushed in the distance, and they did not move, on the one hand, they had been shocked by these disgusting monsters, and on the other hand, Snow Scale did not give the order to attack.
"My lord, do you want to attack?" Seeing the zombies approaching, the herald's hair stood on end, and he hurriedly asked for Snow Scales' opinion.
Snow Scale looked at those zombies for a long time, shook his head and said: "It's not time yet, there are only dozens of zombies coming now, if you attack now, it will inevitably be a bit of a knife to kill chickens." ”
Lin Yun smiled bitterly: "That guy in Jin Mantang is really unreliable, the two days that he said were good, but now it has only been more than a day, and the zombies have already been dispatched." ”
Snow Scale sighed and said, "Anyway, it's a matter of time, but fortunately, these days, craftsmen have been working day and night, and they have made a lot of bows and arrows to deal with these troublesome zombies, and they should focus on long-range attacks." ”
Lin Yun nodded yes, indeed, the defense of zombies is much stronger than ordinary people, ordinary soldiers and horses are not their opponents at all, if one is accidentally scratched or bitten by a zombie, he will also turn into a zombie within a few hours, so in this way, the bow and arrow are indeed the best weapons.
When the two were talking, some of the dozens of zombies had already fallen into the trap in front of Qingyuan County, and they were all pierced by bamboo poles.
"The action is so slow, in the case of a solitary encounter, even ordinary people should be able to fight with it. After observing for a moment, Snow Scale smiled.
Ordinary zombies don't have intelligence and can only attack on instinct, so they aren't too dangerous.
The danger is those zombies who were monks before their deaths, and the stronger the primordial gods before their deaths, the stronger the zombies' strength is. Of course, this kind of strength is mostly reflected in the body, which is manifested in fast speed, strong defense, and so on.
Liang Yao always frowned, and when he heard Xue Scale's words, he hurriedly retorted: "No." Even if zombies are not afraid of the sun, they will be restrained, although they are slow to move in the daytime, and when they absorb the power of the moon at night, they will greatly increase their strength, and even if they are monks, it will not be so easy to deal with them. ”
"How do you know?" Xue Yan was so unimpressed that she looked at Liang Yao curiously.
Liang Yao showed a hint of shame on his face, scratched his head and said: "I'm ashamed to say that I like to read those useless ancient books very much on weekdays, so I have seen them in an ancient book." ”
"Do you know what to do?" Snowscale continued.
Liang Yao thought for a moment and said, "I think it's best to attack with fire, these ordinary zombies are always a little afraid of fire, and they also save manpower." ”
"It's a wonderful method. Lin Yun nodded.
Snow Scale also echoed: "This is very good, the people of Qingyuan County often store copper oil in their homes, which is used for heating on weekdays. And they commanded them to go down and gather the brass oil from the houses of the people, and sprinkle it before nightfall in front of the city. ”
"Yes!"
The people of Qingyuan County all migrated to Anbei City, and most of them only brought some valuables, winter clothes, quilts and rations, obviously they could not carry copper oil with them, so they must have stayed at home.
Therefore, Snow Scale was detached from the defenders of the city wall to collect copper oil from the houses.
While a few people were talking, a group of zombies had already approached the city gate, and Snow Scale shouted coldly: "Release the arrow!"
The archers on the city wall who had been waiting for a long time set up their arrows one after another, and nearly 200 strong bows of three stones shot a rain of arrows, nailing the zombies firmly to the ground.
It's just that the zombies that have been shot into a sieve don't seem to feel pain, regardless of the skin and flesh on their bodies falling off, they use their limbs together, crawling towards the city wall and the city gate, only a dozen zombies who have been shot in the head have lost their breath and are still moving.
"None of the three stones' strong bows can help them?" Snow Scale said in surprise.
The average archer uses a bow with only one stone, and if it is stronger than this number, it is too laborious, resulting in a slow rate of fire, and if you shoot one arrow yourself, the opponent has already shot three arrows, so it is not practical.
However, considering that the enemy this time was not a human, but a zombie who did not know pain, Snow Scale specially instructed the skilled craftsman to create a three-stone strong bow.
In response to this situation, Snow Scale arranged a total of 400 archers on the city wall, divided into two groups to shoot in turn, ensuring both power and rate of fire.
"Stop. Seeing this, Snow Scale hurriedly stopped his men, the next few days will be a hard battle, but now it is not good to waste too many bows and arrows.
"Do you dare to go out of the city and fight with me for a while?" Snow Scale shook the spear in his hand and smiled at Lin Yun.
"Hehe, why don't you dare?" Lin Yun raised his eyebrows defiantly, jumped off the city wall at the same time as the snow scales, and landed on the ground with the help of ice in the air a few times.
"It's up!" Snow Scale snorted coldly, and stepped forward to kill himself, and with a single shot, he pierced the head of a white-haired zombie, and with a slight force on his wrist, the blue-gold spear spiraled for a few weeks, and smashed the zombie's skull.
As a zombie crashed to the ground, he swept with a spear, and a bright bolt of spear cut off the heads of several purple-haired zombies.
Snow scales were ruthless, and Lin Yun naturally couldn't fall behind.
"Fire Seal!" The yellow flame attached to his palm like a meteor, turning into a small seal, only to hear him scream violently, and slammed his palm on the ground.
Monstrous yellow flames rolled in all directions against the ground, burning the legs of more than a dozen zombies to ashes in the blink of an eye.
The zombies lost their legs and fell to the ground with their teeth and claws, trying to crawl on their arms, but it was a little difficult because their bodies were too stiff.
"Die!" Seeing this funny and chilling scene, Lin Yun summoned a yellow flame long sword in his hand, and then stepped into the zombie group with seven star steps, handing out a sword with every step, and with every sword handed, a zombie's head exploded.
The two of them showed their might, and in less than two snaps of their fingers, they killed dozens of zombies.
"I didn't think you were really a two-veined monk. Snow Scale looked a little surprised, took out a white cloth from his sleeve, wiped the blade of the spear, and then said, "When I was in Snow City, I heard that you relied on the power of water and fire to cultivate the power of thunder and lightning, I don't know when you can let me see it?"
Lin Yun smiled: "Don't worry, there will be a chance." After saying that, he corrected in his heart: it was not a two-vein monk, it was a five-vein monk.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun suddenly thought of a question, and regardless of the occasion, he asked Snow Scale directly, "Your Highness Snow Scale, why is the Snow King so interested in me?"
Snow Scale seemed to be smiling, and did not make a sound, but after a while, he suddenly said: "This matter cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences, and after this zombie rebellion is resolved, I will talk to you in detail." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and left, and entered Qingyuan County along the wide open city gate.
"This ......" Lin Yun was speechless.
Looking at Snow Scales, he obviously knew a thing or two about this matter, but now he was reluctant to say anything.
