Two days later.

Zhang Qi followed the large army, crossed the Great Wall of the border, and penetrated more than 300 miles into the northern grasslands.

At this time, it is winter, the cold wind is like a knife, and the dripping water turns into ice. This Beiliang cavalry of more than 800 people trudged through knee-deep snow in the bitter cold wind.

"Whew!"

Zhang Qi took out two Qi and Blood Pills from his pocket and whistled lightly.

The mount under his crotch immediately turned his head, and then stretched out his tongue and licked away the two Qi and Blood Pills in his hand quickly.

"Boom!"

The Black Wind War Horse, which was originally a little sluggish, screamed excitedly a few times after eating the two Qi and Blood Pills, and became vigorous again.

Zhang Qi smiled slightly.

Fortunately, he doesn't have much else on him, and there are a lot of qi and blood pills.

Last time in the Military Meritorious Pavilion of Baisha City, he exchanged more than three hundred bottles of pills in one go, and there were more than two hundred bottles of Qi and Blood Pills alone.

This cheap elixir, if taken by people, can quickly restore qi, blood and physical strength.

When given to livestock, it has the same effect.

By constantly feeding the Qi and Blood Pill, his mount was able to gallop thousands of miles without getting tired while carrying a weight of 10,000 catties.

"Chirp! Chirp! ”

At this time, two black giant eagles flew from the north, hovering over everyone, and their mouths kept chirping.

"The Blackfeather Eagle is back!"

The crowd cheered.

The Black Riding Valley raised five Black-Feathered Giant Eagles, which were specially used for long-range reconnaissance, and the last time General Jiang He went on an expedition, he took three with him.

The remaining two were brought out this time.

"A rout has been spotted ahead."

A deacon, who was proficient in bird language, came to the three elders and reported: "The number is less than a hundred, and the footprints are ...... that have fled from the north."

The three elders looked at each other—finally a clue had been found!

Under the guidance of the two black-feathered giant eagles, the rout of less than a hundred people was quickly stopped.

"Run!"

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! ”

"I'm going home!"

The first reaction of this group of routs when they saw Zhang Qi and the others was to turn around and run away, and they shouted frantically, as if they had lost their minds.

But.

How can a two-legged one outrun a four-legged one?

The eight hundred knights acted separately, like eagles catching chickens, and soon captured all of these scattered routs, not a lot of them.

At the end of the count, there were fifty-three people in total.

Everyone looked crazy, spoke incoherently, and their skin was festering.

"It's Yinshan Bing."

Through the items found on the corpses of this group of defeated soldiers, it was quickly identified that they were from the Yinshan Legion.

As one of the six major legions in the north, the soldiers of the Yinshan Legion are definitely not weak, and their will to fight is also first-class.

Who would have thought that this group of Yinshan soldiers would all go crazy.

The Great Elder personally interrogated, and finally got some important information from the mouth of one of the Yinshan soldiers who was still quite conscious.

Just a few days ago.

The 6,000 soldiers and horses sent by the Yinshan Army were stationed on the shore of Baima Lake, and there were several other troops and horses nearby.

For some reason, there was a large-scale poisoning in the Yinshan Army, and all the soldiers vomited and diarrhea, and their whole bodies were weak, and then a red mist gushed out from the ground, covering the sky and covering a radius of dozens of miles.

Anyone who inhales the red mist, once he uses the true qi, the true qi in his body will go berserk, or even go mad.

The stronger the true qi in the body, the easier it is to go mad.

Not long after, a group of ghost country demons suddenly appeared and launched a bloody slaughter against the six thousand Yin Mountain soldiers who had lost their combat effectiveness......

These fifty-three Yinshan soldiers were able to escape, which was really a fluke.

It's a pity.

Although they escaped, for some reason, they all went crazy, and their minds were so confused that they didn't even know what they were called.

The only obsession in their minds is to escape.

Flee south.

"After giving them some dry food, let them go."

Looking at this group of crazy Yin Mountain soldiers, the Great Elder sighed deeply, and the expression on his face became even deeper.

Judging by the currently known intelligence.

The 100,000 Yizhou soldiers and horses, including the Beiliang Black Cavalry and the Yinshan Army, even if the whole army is not annihilated, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious.

The situation is more dangerous and treacherous than expected.

Why were the 6,000 Yin Mountain soldiers suddenly poisoned? And what is the red mist coming out of the ground? Will Jiang He and the Eight Hundred Black Riders still survive the world......

The Great Elder looked to the north, but all he could see was the dark clouds that covered the sky and the flying snow.

Soon after.

Fifty-three Yinshan soldiers fled south again in a frenzy.

Zhang Qi and the others rode on horseback, and after watching this group of poor Yinshan soldiers disappear into the wind and snow, they turned their horses' heads and continued all the way north.

……

Trample! Trample! Trample!

Fifty-three Yinshan soldiers, after walking more than a hundred miles to the south, encountered a group of cavalry again.

However.

This time, they were greeted not by a greeting from friendly soldiers, but by a cold butcher's knife.

Katsa! Katsa!

Skulls, accompanied by gushing fountains of blood, swirled and danced in the air before tumbling down to the snow. One of the heads rolled a few times in the snow, still muttering, "Go home...... Go home...... Back to ......"

In those eyes, which were wide with fear, a figure was reflected approaching.

It is the youngest son of Ji Wei, the commander of the Great Wall Army-Ji Tan.

Ji Tan stepped on his head and said with a cold face: "Keep searching, you can't let go of any of them!" ”

……

Two days later.

This Beiliang cavalry of more than 800 people has penetrated five or six hundred miles deep into the grassland.

With the help of the Black-Feathered Giant Eagle, they found several waves of routs, ranging from dozens to few. There are those from the Great Wall Legion, those from the Jiuyang Legion, and those who belong to a certain nobleman's private army......

The sources vary, but without exception, all are insane.

"Elder, a group of corpse soldiers was found in front of you, numbering more than two thousand."

The two black-feathered giant eagles found something again, but it was not a living rout, but a group of corpse soldiers who had died and were still wearing the uniforms of the Great Zhou army.

"Kill it."

The Great Elder ordered.

The eight hundred Beiliang cavalry immediately turned into a torrent of steel, and after running for more than thirty miles, they ran head-on into the group of corpse soldiers with more than two thousand numbers.

"Kill!"

In the earth-shattering slaughter, there was a one-sided slaughter.

Compared with the corpse soldiers that Zhang Qi encountered before, these corpse soldiers transformed from the dead Great Zhou soldiers were obviously much stronger, not only with greater strength and faster speed, but also many corpse soldiers would also use martial arts moves.

It's a pity that this group of corpse soldiers encountered a group of Northern Lianghei horsemen......

Although it is a reserve.

But it was still easy to deal with this group of corpse soldiers.

Zhang Qicai snatched three heads, and the battle was over, more than 2,000 corpse soldiers were wiped out, and only one corpse general was left alive.

This corpse general, wearing luxurious armor, should have been a general in the Great Zhou army before his death.

Soon.

The identity of the corpse was investigated.

"It's a thousand commanders of the Jiuyang Legion."

"His name is Gao Ying."

"It's the eldest son of the Gao family in Jiuyang County......"

The Third Elder withdrew his hand from the top of the corpse general's head, looked at the Great Elder, and said with some regret: "The memories in his mind are only these fragments. ”

"Give him a good time, and bury him well."

Looking at Gao Ying, who had a hideous face and a mouth full of fangs, the Great Elder sighed, "That's all we can do. ”

The three elders nodded, and were about to take matters into their own hands.

"Wait."

Second Elder Xu Xiu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "This corpse general, can you keep a hand for the time being." ”

"Why do you want to hold a hand?"

The third elder said with a surprised face, and the great elder was also puzzled, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Xu Xiu's gourd.

"I was greeted just now."

Xu Xiu said a little embarrassed: "As for the reason, I don't know very well. ”

"Who is that man?"

"Zhang Qi, Zhang Sanlang."
