The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 427
In the mountains to the west of Tianma Castle, a team of about a hundred people appeared at the edge of the mountains.

After two days of trekking, Zhang Ziming finally led his centurion through the obstacles of Tiejiangshan.

But they also paid the price of 16 deaths, most of whom were killed by zombies on the way.

Right now, Zhang Ziming has more than 90 soldiers in his hands, and those who can survive can be regarded as elites except for luck.

At this moment, they are on a higher ground, and they can have a panoramic view of the situation in Tianma Castle.

Zhu Gui said from the side: "The houses in the middle are surrounded by horses, and there are people standing guard at the door of each house. No matter how you look at it, they don't look like they are inhabited!"

Zhang Ziming nodded and said, "That's their granary. Our task...is to burn their grain!"

After careful inspection, Ma Cheng said from the side: "The total strength of the fort wall and inside the fort is about one hundred and ten people. I think there will be a hundred households stationed here!"

There are more than a hundred people on the other side, and there are only more than 90 people on their side, which is not enough for them.

Faced with this predicament, everyone present was filled with bitterness, because this task was simply impossible.

Finally, it was Ma Cheng who asked, "Brother, what should I do next?"

"Leave a few people to watch, and all the other brothers climb up the tree to rest!" Zhang Ziming said in a deep voice.

"Rest?" Zhu Gui was a little surprised.

"At least we need to recover our strength, let the brothers rest!" Zhang Ziming took it easy.

His calm appearance reassured everyone present, at least temporarily stabilized the morale of the army.

While everyone was resting, Zhang Ziming's mind was running fast.

He was observing the terrain carefully, thinking about how to enter Tianma Castle.

As time passed, Zhang Ziming came up with two or three solutions, but none of them were safe.

He has only one chance to make a shot, which gives him no chance of trial and error.

Just when he was feeling anxious, he saw a person from the north rushing towards him. It was the soldier sent out to watch.

Coming under the tree where Zhang Ziming was, the man whispered, "General, there is movement in the north!"

"What's the situation?" Zhang Ziming asked in a deep voice.

"On the official road to the north, there is a group of Yong soldiers heading south, pushing two large carts, as if they are going to Tianma Castle!"

Hearing this situation, Zhang Ziming's eyes lit up, and he had some calculations in his heart.

"Take me to see!"

While walking under the tree, Zhang Ziming also called Zhu Gui and Ma Cheng, and asked him to order two men to prepare for the use of troops at any time.

For the sake of safety, their posts were arranged far away. Zhang Ziming walked for 2 minutes before reaching a big rock.

The field of vision here is relatively wide, and you can have a panoramic view of the official road at the foot of the mountain.

Following the direction pointed by the sentinel, Zhang Ziming saw a team pushing a cart slowly.

Zombies harassed the road from time to time, but they were all dealt with cleanly by this team, which showed that they were an elite team.

However, there are only ten people with such abilities, and the Yong army really hides the dragon and crouches... Zhang Ziming couldn't help but sigh.

The scout at the side asked: "My lord, there seems to be a corpse in the car. Could it be that the front line of the Yong army was defeated?"

Zhang Ziming shook his head, and then said: "If they were really defeated, our cavalry would have killed them long ago. It seems that the Yong army on the front line has been greatly damaged!"

"Go tell the brothers to come over, let's eat the following group of people!"

"Yes!"

Under the official road at the foot of the mountain, Chen Dashi, a small flag officer, led his soldiers and transported the bodies of the war dead, and was slowly marching south.

They were undoubtedly lucky to survive the battle.

After killing a zombie rushing by the side of the road, all the nearby corpses had been killed, and Chen Dashi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After turning the corner in front of you, and walking about a mile forward is Tianmabao.

Looking at the soldiers under him, Chen Dashi ordered: "Work harder and send the brothers back to Tianma Castle earlier!"

The surroundings are exceptionally quiet, which is a good thing, which means there are no zombies around.

But at this moment, in the forest on both sides of the official road, Zhang Ziming had arrived with more than 90 people under his command, and they had already drawn out their sabers.

Zhang Ziming, who was the closest, was only ten feet away from the official road. At this time, everyone was waiting for his order.

When Chen Dashi and his party gradually approached, Zhang Ziming shouted: "Do it!"

More than 90 people quickly got up and rushed out, and the commotion instantly alarmed the guards on the official road.

"kill……"

Discovering the enemy attack, although he didn't understand why there were enemy troops here, Chen Dashi was still fearless in the face of danger.

"Be alert, be alert..."

Although there were only ten people, they quickly formed an army formation, with their backs behind them and the cart facing the northwest hillside.

With just a glance, Chen Dashi's heart was a little cold, and there were too many people on the opposite side.

Although they are strong enough, the opponent has nine times the strength of their own, so it is impossible to beat them.

"My lord, let's..."

Since you can't win at all, there's no need to fight to the death, and you can just look for opportunities to mess things up later.

"Retreat!"

At this time, a guard hesitated and said: "But the bodies of the brothers..."

"If we die, the corpses of the brothers will not be kept, and there will only be a few more corpses!" Chen Dashi said angrily.

The difference in troop strength is too great. Their task is only to transport the corpses, not to hold on to the fortress. Evacuation is a very reasonable way.

They fought to the death, and they might be able to kill twenty or thirty people on the opposite side, but it was still not worthwhile to kill themselves.

The soldiers of Prince Yong's Mansion withdrew, but Zhang Ziming was not very happy.

According to his original idea, he wanted to wipe out this wave of people, then change into the clothes of the palace guards, push the cart and sneak into Tianma Castle.

Everyone rushed to the cart, only to find that the stones on the cart were also dressed as soldiers of the palace, which made Zhang Ziming heave a sigh of relief.

At this time Ma Cheng said: "Look, brother, they are only thirty feet away, do you want to chase them down?"

Zhang Ziming took a closer look and found that Chen Dashi and his party were still there, so he cursed a few more words inwardly.

"Ma Cheng, find dozens of brothers and change into Yong Jun's clothes on the carriage!"

"Change the dead man's clothes?" Ma Cheng was puzzled.

Zhang Ziming nodded: "That's right, keep a set for me too!"

After saying this, Zhang Ziming turned to Zhu Gui again and said, "Old Zhu, take Brother No. 30 and stand in a row in front, so that the fleeing gang can't see us!"

"Yes!"

Ever since, the dozens of people present had their own division of labor, and got busy on the spot.

On the other side, Chen Dashi and the others watched from a distance, but their sight was blocked, so they didn't know what Zhang Ziming was doing.

"My lord, they stand in front of us, neither chasing us nor retreating. What are they trying to do?" a guard asked.

Immediately someone replied: "Could it be that they can't kill us, so they insulted the corpses of the brothers who died in battle?"

This guess made everyone present furious.

So someone was extremely dissatisfied and said: "My lord, we can't just watch!"

After thinking for a while, Chen Dashi said: "Go and lure some monsters, we can't defeat them, but we can rely on the power of monsters!"

This is a good way, but the density of zombies here is extremely low, and it is not easy to attract a group of zombies.

So everyone divided their duties and sneaked in different directions, but everyone present was stunned.

In fact, the best way is to go to Tianmabao for help, but Zhang Ziming and his party block the way back.
