i didn’t watch the drama in one go / one sitting so i can’t exactly remember the beginning. who exactly sent the army / assassins that “killed” xie zhang in the beginning?

i know wei xuan shot the arrow but just want to understand which army is xie zhang first fighting in the beginning. to my understanding in episode 8 when xie zheng is explaining to gongsun yin what happened, the flashback shows the army xie zheng is first fighting looks like a regular army (maybe just the army from lord changxin) then in the aftermath black robed soldiers (maybe wei yan’s suicide warriors?) are checking to see if everyone died?

TIA!
