Chapter 345: Zhao's Fortress (Part 4)



The militia behind him were treated the same way.

A group of people were like grasshoppers tied to a rope, with an extremely thick hemp rope connecting everyone together.

They were captured by a fully equipped regular army...

Just half an hour ago.

Zhao Yongjin had just finished cleaning up Fushui County.

After being away for more than a month, he was eager to return home and led everyone to prepare to return to the fort overnight.

The monsters nearby have been cleared out, so it is not dangerous to travel at night.

It just so happened that everyone wanted to go back early, and no one objected, so we packed up and left immediately.

As a result, as soon as people reached the boundary marker, thousands of soldiers suddenly appeared from all directions and surrounded them.

They had already been surrounded before they even realized what was happening.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

The soldiers were well-trained and displayed their weapons in unison.

Zhao Yongjin's face changed immediately.

He recognized at a glance that the soldiers were wearing the uniforms of the Zhongshan army and was horrified.

Why did Zhongshan State come to Hejian County?

What do they want to do?

Before he could sort out his thoughts, the soldier shouted again: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Zhao Yongjin felt nervous and looked at the leader opposite him with a pale face.

He was a very young general.

He looked to be about the same age as him, standing at the front, looking at him silently.

He is already trapped in a jar, with no chance of escape.

There were only a thousand of them in total, and they were no match for this group of regular troops.

Zhao Yongjin struggled for a moment and chose to lay down his weapon and surrender.

Resistance will only result in unnecessary sacrifices. If the opponent is a human being, there may still be a possibility of negotiation.

The militiamen behind him swallowed nervously.

So many soldiers exuded a strong aura of murderous intent. The oppressive feeling that came directly upon them made people feel fear instinctively. Seeing Jin Langjun drop the weapons in his hands, they quickly followed suit and put down their weapons.

The group was immediately captured by soldiers and tied up with hemp ropes...

The soldiers escorted the people on the road, retreating from Fushui County and rushing to the border of Changshan County.

The leading general was taciturn and didn't say a word along the way, just focusing on getting on with his journey.

Seeing that they were getting further and further away from the Zhao Clan's Fort, Zhao Yongjin's face turned pale. He mustered up the courage to speak, "Excuse me, sir, where are you taking us?"

It's impossible that Zhongshan State was short of people, so it crossed Anping County, Qinghe County, Changshan County... and came to Hejian County specifically to capture people and bring them back to work?

He himself felt that this reason was untenable.

Zhao Yongjin is hesitating whether to reveal his identity.

Qin Shan glanced at him and pursed his lips, "You'll know when Mr. Zhao arrives."

Zhao Yongjin: “…” What did he call me just now?

As night fell, the sky seemed to be dotted with black, the surrounding scenery became blurred, and occasionally the roars of monsters could be heard in the distance.

Qin Shan led his troops back to the camp, left the man to the guard of the soldiers, and went to reply to the girl.

The guards escorted the group to an open space.

Zhao Yongjin walked, secretly scanning his surroundings. The deeper he went into the camp, the colder his heart grew. This was the temporary encampment of the Zhongshan Army, and everywhere he looked was filled with soldiers.

It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people.

The number of people is comparable to that of Zhao’s Fortress.

What on earth did the Zhongshan army want to do by sending troops to Hejian County?

A temporary tent not far away.

Wei Xiyin was discussing Guangping affairs with two generals.

It was only at this time that General Chen learned that the girl would not follow them to Guangping.

"With my third uncle and General Chen here, I have nothing to worry about."

Wei Xiyin glanced outside the tent and lowered her voice, "However, Third Uncle, please pay attention to Master Zhang. If the Yizhou army has rebelled and you have no choice but to take tough measures, you must first keep an eye on him."

Zhang Yuanyan and Gong Liulang were naturally among the accompanying troops.

The army consisted of tens of thousands of people, a large number of people, and they marched in groups of thousands.

Wei Xiyin deliberately arranged the two of them to escort the supplies in the rear to avoid being overheard by Zhang Yuanyan when discussing things.

He was a foolishly loyal and stubborn man who still had hope for the trip to Guangping. The soldiers under him called themselves the Wei family's troops, and he was still looking forward to rushing to Guangping to rescue his master.

Gong Liulang knew it well, but said nothing. He calmly followed the instructions, held Zhang Yuanyan and stayed behind, not moving forward at all.

So after so many days of travel, the few of them hadn't even seen each other.

Wei Mingyuan nodded and said, "I will pay attention to this matter."

He added earnestly, "Wu Niang, you must take good care of yourself and don't worry about Guangping. Your uncle will definitely help you achieve your wish and pacify Yizhou."

The journey to Kyoto is dangerous, and the two thousand soldiers accompanying him are not a large number, which is really worrying.

If Yizhou had not been pacified and the fort had not needed garrison, Wei Mingyuan would have wanted to take his niece to the capital to search for the whereabouts of the eldest son.

Wei Xiyin felt warm at the words, "Niece knows, thank you, Third Uncle."

General Chen was completely confused. As they were chatting, the uncle and niece started saying something he couldn't understand.

The guard's voice came from outside the tent.

"Miss, Commander Qin requests an audience."

Wei Mingyuan stood up upon seeing this and said with understanding, "It seems that everything went smoothly. Qin Shan has brought everyone back."

As the army marched, 200 scouts ahead discovered human activities in Fushui County as early as yesterday.

The group of people thought they were on their own territory, so they didn't have a strong sense of danger and didn't hide their whereabouts. Their attention was almost entirely on clearing out zombies and searching for supplies.

The scouts were lurking nearby and quickly found out the identities of the people through the casual conversations of the militiamen. They then returned to report.

Wei Xiyin learned that it was the people from Zhao's Fort who were outside clearing out hidden dangers.

He immediately gave the order to stay where he was and told Qin Shan to lead his troops to set up an ambush and capture all the people alive.

She was quite kind and waited until they had cleared out the zombies and were pulling a bunch of things to go back before taking action.

"Let Qin Shan come in."

Wei Mingyuan has already stood up to say goodbye.

Seeing this, General Chen took his leave and left.

Qin Shan came in and said, "Miss, everything went smoothly. The leader of the team is Mr. Zhao. He is very sensible and surrendered quickly."

Wei Xiyin raised the corners of her lips slightly. "She's quite clever, but it seems the Zhao family's military strength isn't strong. To the east, near Changshan County, there are so many zombies in the three cities connected to it, yet they've only sent out a thousand militiamen."

People definitely can’t be taken out, and the food can’t escape.

Her smile deepened, and she looked like a villain.

There's nothing she can do about it. It's because she can't even get the minimum living allowance for a time-traveling character. Logically, the space should be a gift from the Doomsday Golden Finger, but she has nothing.

If we don't find ways to get food from others, how can we feed the nearly 10,000-strong Zhongshan army?

She couldn't bear to empty her family's savings.

Qin Shan raised his head and took a quick glance, "Does the girl want to meet someone?"

Wei Xiyin waved her hand, "No need, let's leave them alone for the night. We'll break camp and set off tomorrow, heading straight for the Zhao Clan Fort."

This night.

Zhao Yongjin and the militiamen under him had a very painful life.
