Volume 4: Following the Dragon and Slaying the Dragon Chapter 91 Ambush the Xiao Family
With Qiao Zun's official joining, the next things will be much simpler.
Just as Wang Liang said, Qiao Zun's network of connections in Beixin County is still good.
He had a good relationship with the garrison in Beixin County. In addition, he saved a lot of soldiers this time, so the garrison soldiers were willing to listen to Qiao Zun.
After organizing the troops, Qiao Zun led the Beixin County troops and quickly set off towards the garrison camp outside Beixin County.
After Qiao Zun left, Wang Liang took his men and headed in another direction. The Three County Alliance had already dealt with two counties, and now the only one left was the Xiao family in Siming County.
Wang Liang has already made up his mind to become an enemy of Qingshi, so the Xiao family naturally needs to be dealt with in advance.
Otherwise, if the two forces joined forces, Wang Liang might not be able to withstand it. After all, Wang Liang's main residence is not a county town with high city walls. Although there are many mountains and forests outside, as long as someone breaks into the vicinity of the main residence, his defense ability will become insufficient.
So Wang Liang had to get rid of the Xiao family in advance.
Moreover, Wang Liang speculated that the Xiao family might be the hidden dragon of Dongfeng Town. In order to ensure the accuracy of history, Qingshi would definitely find a way to protect the safety of the Xiao family.
Then there will be a battle to be fought here.
With this idea in mind, Wang Liang led his men towards Siming County.
At this time, the troops of Siming County happened to encounter an ambush from Song Xiu and his men.
Song Xiu was the kind of man who could keep his composure. When he found that the troops from Siming County were passing by him, he did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he waited for the main force of the army to pass over his head and for Xiao Zhengtan to come over on horseback with the central army before launching the attack.
Because Song Xiu and his men attacked from underground, they happened to be at the most critical point of the Siming County troops.
For a moment, neither the troops from Siming County nor were able to form a battle formation, and the battle here turned into a chaotic mess.
It was precisely because of this melee that some of the Xiao family's tactics could not be used. Coupled with the large number of zombies, in the end it turned into a one-on-one desperate battle.
Xiao Zhengtan, who was protected by his men and was fighting his way out, looked at the melee in front of him and his expression changed.
This time, the three counties launched a joint attack, and he led a lot of troops out.
In addition to the 250 soldiers stationed in Siming County, he also brought 300 troops from the Xiao family.
Among these three hundred people, half are the elite of the Xiao family, and their strength is only slightly weaker than that of the crippled Iron Guards. This is one of the trump cards that the Xiao family can play besides the Iron Guards.
Originally, this unit was to be placed in the middle of the battle formation and take the initiative to launch an attack when the battle started.
But now they were held back by zombies, and the battle here turned into a mess.
Watching one elite soldier after another fall, Xiao Zhengtan's heart was bleeding.
He ordered loudly: "Captain Shi, rush in and kill that guy for me."
Xiao Zhengtan pointed at Song Xiu who was chopping with two short axes and said.
Song Zheng happened to hear this. He raised his head, and although he had no lips, his teeth were exposed. He didn't even need to grin to let people see that he was missing several teeth.
Seeing Xiao Zhengtan pointing at him, Song Xiu also became angry. He came here this time wanting to kill everyone in the Xiao family.
Unexpectedly, they only dragged the Xiao family's troops into the battle, while the leader of the Xiao family escaped.
This made him unhappy. What he didn't expect was that after Xiao Zhengtan escaped, he actually wanted to attack him.
So Song Xiu changed direction, killed one enemy with his axe, and rushed towards Xiao Zhengtan.
Xiao Zhengtan just happened to assign his team of stone soldiers to attack.
Captain Shi was originally a soldier of the Iron Guard. As his strength grew, he was promoted to captain of an elite force.
It is also for this reason that Captain Shi is still wearing the same armor as the Iron Guards, and his fighting style is also the same as the Iron Guards.
In fact, the Xiao family’s iron guards are the nemesis of the zombies.
If it weren't for Wang Liang, Song Xiu and his group would have come out early, and half of the Iron Guards had been killed by Marquis Dongfeng. Now there is no way to form a military formation, and these zombies will not be their match at all.
The situation is different now. There are no iron guards, and the equipment of the elite soldiers is not made of pure iron. Song Xiu kills those elite soldiers one by one with his axe.
Just as Song Xiu was about to rush in front of Xiao Zhengtan, Captain Shi raised his shield and hit Song Xiu.
After this collision, Song Xiu took three or five steps back.
This was the first time this happened after Song Xiu turned into a zombie.
You have to know that Song Xiu is also a lucky person. Not only did he survive when he was a slave, but his physical strength was getting better and better.
After becoming a zombie, he quickly learned many zombie-specific spells.
Strength and other things have also become much stronger.
He didn't have such fierce fighting power before, but now it's different. He can almost kill an enemy with just one axe.
Unexpectedly, when he faced Captain Shi, he was beaten back head-on in terms of strength.
His axe fell on Captain Shi's shield but had no effect at all, only causing some sparks.
On the contrary, Captain Shi took advantage of this opportunity and attacked with another shield, knocking Song Xiu to the ground.
As soon as Song Xiu fell to the ground, he twisted his body and dived underground.
This is exactly the characteristic of zombies, but Song Xiu's practice is stronger, so he can sneak underground without any movement.
It was because of his infiltration that he avoided the attack from Team Shi from behind.
However, at this time, Team Shi seemed to have locked onto Song Xiu, and kept looking for trouble with him. As soon as Song Xiu showed his head, he would immediately attack him.
Without Song Xiu's command, the zombies, which were not very smart to begin with, fought entirely on instinct.
In the absence of organization, the zombies and the soldiers fought based on their own instincts.
So the scene here became more chaotic for a while.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhengtan loudly ordered, "Those who have retreated, form a small battle formation and charge forward."
Just as Xiao Zhengtan was commanding his troops to take action, a signal was sent from the distant sky.
The location where the signal was sent was exactly in the direction of the Xiao family's ancestral home.
Xiao Zhengtan looked incredulous when he saw the signal being transmitted into the sky.
"What's going on? Why is there a distress signal?"
The servants of the Xiao family also saw this signal, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.
Just at this moment, a group of sika deer spirits appeared nearby and rushed out under the leadership of Su Xinliu.
