When Tian Xing received Sang Que's signal and led his troops into the city, he could not believe that Sang Que had actually dealt with the elite of the ghost troupe by himself, broke the death zone, and captured Tangyuan County without any effort.
Tian Xing and his men had served as soldiers for several years and had been fighting against the Qianshou army in the past six months. This was the first time they rode into the city in such a swaggering manner, and the people in the city lined the streets to welcome them.
A lot of people were vomiting on the roadside, and Tian Xing and others were confused.
After the Death Zone was broken, the illusion that the Death Zone imposed on the people also disappeared. They now knew what they had been eating during this period.
They always felt that life was difficult under the heavy taxes of the Xuan Dynasty, but this time, with the comparison with the Qianshou Army, they felt that the Xuan Dynasty was actually quite good.
Looking at their expressions, Tian Xing just wanted to say that they deserved it. Tangyuan County was captured because the people in the city believed the Qianshou Army and secretly opened the city gates to welcome the Qianshou Army into the city.
"General Sang!"
Sang Que didn't say anything, so Yin Tong obediently retreated back to Sang Que and stood still.

Everything went as He Bu Ning had expected. The Qianshou army came out in full force. Under the reasonable command of He Bu Ning and Nan Zhongyun, the Qianshou army failed in their sieges on the city several times.
The witch was a middle-aged woman, not old at all, and she was leaning on a snake-shaped cane with a string of palm-sized skulls hanging on the top.
Several witches accompanying the army were fighting with two Taoist priests in the city through the air. The two Taoist priests looked ordinary in front of Sang Que, but in fact they were quite skilled.
Tian Xing and his men were very professional and well-trained. With only two thousand people, they were able to defend the city properly. They were also able to send out several teams to patrol the streets and mobilize the people to help repair the city walls, dig moats, and make chevaux de frise.
When they finally shook off the pursuing Dongyang County defenders and ran out of the woods to arrive near Tangyuan County, the expected refuge presented a shocking scene.
The witch took a deep breath and asked loudly, "Are you Sang Mulan? My Yunzhou Five Spirit Saintess is by your side?"
The two Gu Masters had their hair tied up in cloth towels, with strange insect-shaped patterns painted on their faces. They all stared at Sang Que.
When they saw Sang Que, Tian Xing led everyone to dismount, and they all followed Tian Xing, clasped their fists and bowed their heads to show respect.
The two poison masters accompanying the army tried all kinds of methods to cast poison, but were seen through by Qiao Ling every time. Qiao Ling even poisoned them in return and they are now dying.
Their flags were torn, their armor was covered with dust, and the faces of the soldiers, who were composed of civilians from all over the country, were filled with fatigue and frustration.
Sang Que did not have a fixed official position, and Tian Xing had been calling her Miss along the way. At this moment, calling her "General Sang" was a complete recognition and sincere admiration of Sang Que.
The leader was dressed in black, carrying a longbow and wearing a mask of the Night Prowler of the Evil Suppression Bureau. Behind him stood a person dressed in red with a seductive temperament. Looking closely, it seemed that he was not a human but a zombie.
The two Gu Masters gasped, "Return the Five Spirit Saint to me, otherwise everyone in Yunzhou will fight you to the death!"
He also sent out a scout team to report back to Dongyang County and to inquire about the movements of the Qianshou army.
According to the latest battle report, although the two Taoist priests were seriously injured, they managed to strangle three ghost witches in the Qianshou army from a distance. One ghost witch was seriously injured and was unwilling to fight again.
In addition to corpses, making flesh and blood puppets also requires wood, all kinds of yin wood. These are not difficult for Sang Que, including food, which she can get once she goes back.
Sang Que swung his long sword and said, "If you have the guts, come and grab it yourself!"
Tian Xing led two thousand elite soldiers and mobilized the people in the city to quickly clean up the dead bodies in the city, close the four city gates, count the city defense equipment, and make strict defenses.
In the previous battle, all of her wheat-snake zombies were consumed, and only thirty corpse-mud zombies were left.
This scene deeply hurt the eyes of the witch and the Gu Master. Their noble Five Spirit Saint had turned into such a ghostly appearance and was being driven like a maid by the despicable people of Xuan Dynasty.
As time passed, Tian Xing would personally deliver the military reports sent back by the scouts to Sang Que every day.
Sang Que nodded, "There are two elite members of the ghost troupe in the city. The dwarf who controlled the infant spirits to guard the city has been killed by me, and the other puppeteer has escaped. You have experience in deploying defenses, so I'll leave it to you. There is no food in the city, I'll find a way to get you a few days' worth of food and grass. At least you have to hold out until there's a result in Dongyang County."
In order to better make flesh and blood puppets, Sang Que selected some female and child corpses that were similar in shape and appearance to her and Yin Tong, and put them into the painting for Chu Mowei.
Sang Que collected all the intact corpses in the city, many of which were from the common people.
The general of the Qianshou Army stared at this scene with eyes wide open in disbelief, his lips trembling, "How could this be?"
The dead zone that was originally pitch black and where ordinary people dared not enter disappeared. The sky around Tangyuan County was bright, the damaged city walls had been repaired, and the flags of the Qianshou Army on the top of the wall had all disappeared, replaced by the flags of the Qinzhou garrison.
After saying that, the little Yin Tong appeared beside Sang Que. Seeing those fellow villagers, Yin Tong couldn't help but take two steps forward, then stopped and looked back at Sang Que.
After finishing the food matter, Sang Que and Xia Chan came to the wilderness outside the city, released the more than 800 white-haired zombies transformed by the red ghost in the painting, and deployed troops at the city gate.
Sang Que took off the mask and revealed his true face, "So what?"
Tian Xing's eyes lit up. Everyone knew that food and fodder were the most difficult to raise during war. In the past, other generals in the army would just give orders and let their subordinates figure it out on their own. If they couldn't raise food and fodder, they could only die to atone for their sins.
The name of Sang Mulan was well-known, and echoed in the wilderness outside the city along with the clear voice of Sang Que.
The wind was howling, raising dust all over the sky. Suddenly, the soldiers of the Qianshou Army saw hundreds of zombies standing in the wilderness outside the city gate with their arms raised, ready for battle. There were two zombies in front of them.
What a shame! The witch was so angry that she spat out blood.
At the rear of the Qianshou Army, the witch who was being carried by others and two Gu Masters with faces as pale as paper all struggled to squeeze to the front from the back.
The setting sun was as red as blood, and the defeated Qianshou army dragged their exhausted bodies and ran desperately towards Tangyuan.
Whenever Sang Que saw them, she couldn't help but think that it would be great if she could lure them to Mingyue Mountain. The group of bandits she had under her control were indeed not worthy of being mentioned in public.
The exhausted soldiers stood there in a daze, their eyes revealing deep fear and despair.
Tangyuan County had been lost and captured by the Qinzhou defenders.
Sang Que actually gave them the simplest tasks and did the most difficult tasks himself. They were lucky to have such a general.
The upper limit of the number of white-haired zombies that Sangque can control through Chigui may be around one thousand. Now with these eight hundred, it is a bit difficult for Sangque to control them. Often the zombies will not obey and run away on their own. In the end, Xuanyu will find the escaped zombies and Xiachan will drag them back.
In just five days, the Qianshou army of nearly 10,000 soldiers was reduced to less than 5,000, and they had already retreated. The Dongyang County army took advantage of the victory to pursue them. …
"I will follow the general's orders!"
"I am Sang Mulan, the night patrol officer of the Suppression of Evils Department. Listen, you rebels. Tangyuan County has been captured. Those who surrender will not be killed. I will give you a quarter of an hour to think about it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the ground under Sang Que's feet suddenly cracked and she immediately dodged backwards.
The clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. A huge puppet made of wooden mechanisms wrapped in a sea of corpses and flesh emerged from the ground. A puppeteer in a black robe stood on the puppet.
"Sang Mulan, you have repeatedly defied my ghost troupe. Today is the day you die!"
Uh...see you tomorrow...
