Chapter 732: The Situation in the City
Chapter 732: The Situation in the City
Some time ago, when the two sides completely began to fight, Zhao Xu asked his subordinates who controlled the winged bird to fly lower, and then stood on the winged car to watch the battle. Because the winged bird flies very low, the whole battle scene is clear at a glance. After confirming that the coalition forces had been completely surrounded by the night army, Zhao Xu was very relieved to think that their beast attack plan had been successfully executed. Tonight's battle is already secure, and there will be no more suspense.
With the remaining one-third of the strength of the coalition forces, there will no longer be any possibility of turning defeat into victory in the face of a great decline in morale, and it can be said that the overall situation has been decided. For Lin Xuanzhong's ability honing this time, Zhao Xu knew very well that they had succeeded, and tonight's battle was enough to highlight Lin Xuanzhong's talent as a general, and perhaps one day, they would have another famous commander in the Night Kingdom.
When Zhao Xu continued to choose to watch the battle, Shi Jiangchuan and Tie Xin insisted on breaking through from the east but did not succeed in breaking through, because they were strongly blocked by the night army, and the coalition army was defeated on all fronts, and the game between the two sides turned into a one-sided massacre. No matter where the area is, it is the Night Army that is slaughtering the coalition army, whether it is the new recruits or the elite of the night army, one by one has been killed by this moment, even if it is difficult to make them stop now, those generals of the night army no longer have to worry about them being defeated by the coalition army.
At the same time, in Fancheng, the previous movements at the city pass had already awakened the situation in the entire city, and as the lord of a city who was friendly with the night army, Ruan Sihai went to inquire about the situation as soon as possible.
After meeting with Lan Feng and the others, Ruan Sihai got the result that the night army had sent troops to launch a surprise attack on the coalition army, and Lan Feng and Fang Quyin took a small number of people to stay in the camp and prevent outsiders from taking advantage of it.
After talking to Lan Feng and Fang Quyin, Ruan Sihai, who had already known some rumors, was shocked, and in Ruan Sihai's opinion, the Night Army must have a great certainty that he dared to send troops. On the other hand, Ruan Sihai was also well aware that tonight's battle might determine the fate of their Yiguo in the future, but despite this, Ruan Sihai still hoped that it was the Night Army that would win. Because since the night army entered Fancheng, Zhao Xu directly fulfilled the agreement between the two parties, and has never committed any offense against Fan Chengqiu.
Looking at the entire Northern Regions, I am afraid that there will be no second division as benevolent and righteous as the Night Army, after all, whether it was the Wing Kingdom sending troops to crusade against the Night Army, or the secret attack on the Night Army's grain and grass team later, from the overall situation, it has always been the Wing Country that has been full of evil deeds towards the Night Country. As the winner, the Night Army could have asked them to provide all the favorable conditions for the Night Army, but Zhao Xu did not do that.
Throughout the ages, it is not uncommon for the army to slaughter cities, and now Zhao Xu's approach can be said to be benevolent and righteous. If they are still dissatisfied with the Night Army, it will only be them who will be wrong all the time. In order to prevent Yiguo from clashing with the night army again, Ruan Sihai has been under pressure from all parties in the city, even if he is infamous for treason, Ruan Sihai has never repented.
Of course, when the coalition army came, Ruan Sihai was shocked by the prestige of the coalition army, and thought about secretly colluding with the coalition army to deal with the night army, but Ruan Sihai couldn't help but think about what situation the wing country would face after getting rid of the night army. Judging from the various performances of the coalition forces entering the territory of the Wing Country, the Coalition Army's trip is not just a crusade against the Night Army, after eliminating the Night Army, the entire Wing Country will fall into the hands of the Coalition Army.
At that time, Ruan Sihai will not only continue to watch the fall of the Wing Kingdom, but also have to commit treason for the second time, and more importantly, Ruan Sihai can't imagine what it will be like for the coalition forces to get the Wing Kingdom. Whether the people of Yiguo are living as well as they are now, or are they still suffering in the follow-up disputes between the two countries, thinking of the situation at that time, even if he knows that he will be infamous for treason no matter what, Ruan Sihai still has to make a correct choice.
After the night army was officially stationed in Fancheng, after careful consideration, Ruan Sihai had already made up his mind that he must not betray the night army, so that the people of the city would be harmed, so when he knew that the night army had attacked the coalition army in a big way, Ruan Sihai planned to do everything to protect the stability of the rear of the night army.
For a long time, those unstable factors in the city were under Ruan Sihai's surveillance, Ruan Sihai knew which people still had different intentions, and they hadn't seen the situation clearly, and they wanted to avenge their dead relatives, so in order to prevent those people from making trouble behind the night army, Ruan Sihai directly summoned people to rush to the night army camp to help Lan Feng protect the safety of the camp.
It didn't take long for Ruan Sihai to find manpower, and they waited for the group of forces in the city that did not want to return to the night army to arrive. After the forces of those families who had never been willing to return to the Night Kingdom gathered, they called on some people in the city to join forces to attack the night army camp. They didn't know what was going on between the Night Army and the Coalition Army, but they wanted to cause chaos in the rear of the Night Army.
Under the leadership of that group of high-level martial cultivators, thousands of people came directly to the outside of the Night Army camp, and at the same time, they were discovered by Lan Feng and the others for the first time. The thousands of Nights who had been ambushed at the entrance to the camp had already attacked them with golden scale arrows before they could even spot them. The battle between the two sides has not yet begun, and the aggressive attackers have already lost half of their men.
When those people wanted to fight back against the night army that had already exposed their traces, Ruan Sihai came forward in time with hundreds of people, and according to the agreement with Lan Feng and others, Ruan Sihai wanted to persuade those people to surrender. If Ruan Sihai can't succeed, then Ruan Sihai will personally lead people to fight with the remaining hundreds of criminals. Speaking of which, it is really two things to say that a few hundred people will fight against the thousands of night troops left behind, so Lan Feng and the others have to give Ruan Sihai and the others a chance to perform.
On the other side, those who had a deep hatred for the Night Army came with a lot of blood, and they wanted to do something for their country like those Yiguo people who defected to the coalition army, but before they could act, they lost half of their manpower, and when Ruan Sihai tried to persuade them to surrender, none of them listened. In desperation, Ruan Sihai could only personally slaughter the remaining hundreds of rebels to prove their loyalty to the night army with practical actions.
Every time they killed one more person, Ruan Sihai and those family members who returned to the Night Country would have to bear an extra sin on their hands, because they all knew very well that the people they killed were all real people from the Wing Country, unlike they themselves who had betrayed the Wing Country. In any case, Ruan Sihai and those people had no way back, so they could only endure the pain of allegiance to the Night Country.
When Ruan Sihai and the others were covered in blood to restore their lives, Lan Feng, as the prince of the Night Kingdom, assured Ruan Sihai and the others that in the future, as long as the people of Fancheng did not offend the Night Army, the Night Army would definitely not massacre the civilians of Fancheng.
The battle outside the city was not over yet, the rebellion in the city had been quelled, and after getting Lan Feng's assurance, Ruan Sihai and the others did not ask Lan Feng for credit again, but only asked Lan Feng for permission to bury those strong men of the Wing Country. For Lan Feng and Fang Quyin, Ruan Sihai and the others' request was not unreasonable, so after discussing with Fang Quyin, Lan Feng agreed to their request.
Putting aside the location of the camp, for many people in Fancheng, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. In the cold wind, those city citizens gathered in the streets against the wind and snow, just wondering what the situation was now.
Many of the city's inhabitants had already suffered from the confrontation between the two armies for days, and the situation tonight terrified many, but they still wondered what fate awaited them. Speaking of which, although the night army has not been stationed in Fancheng for a long time, in fact, many civilians have adapted to life with the night army. Now that they know that the Night Army is at war with the Coalition forces, many people sincerely hope that the Night Army will win.
Because only if the night army wins, they can continue to live a stable life, and now they can no longer withstand any wind and rain. At the moment, the adults on the street were nervous, and the children were crying, and tonight was the least quiet night since the night army came. Although there had been no movement at the Chengguan for a long time, the citizens of the city still could not rest normally.
The unknown wait made many people suffer, until Ruan Sihai sent people to explain the current situation and give those civilians some confidence, the city gradually settled down, and countless people in the city went home one after another, but the lights on each house were not extinguished, and after returning home, those city residents still couldn't sleep peacefully, and they all waited for the night army to return triumphantly as Ruan Sihai said.
Putting aside the situation in the city, with the passage of time, tonight's battle gradually came to an end, under the ferocious slaughter of the night army, the coalition army fell in pieces, and the defeat was like a mountain, whether it was the Yang army or the flying army, no matter how many brave generals and brave soldiers they had, all resistance was superfluous, and all the coalition forces had to do was to throw their heads, spill blood, and let others slaughter, and they had no ability to fight back at all.
At this moment, those soldiers had no fighting spirit except for extreme fear in their hearts, and they were so vulnerable in front of the fierce night army. Every time they didn't swing their weapons in front of the Night Army, they were already full of enemy blades, and all they could do was wail before they died. Whether they are fighting alone or working together, they are so vulnerable.
At this point in the battle, not only did many soldiers have to bear the impact of low morale, but the coalition generals who were far more numerous than the Night Army were also in a miserable situation at this moment, and those seventh-order martial cultivators were as if they were being humiliated against the sixth-order martial cultivators who had no fear. But in the case of panic, even if they are extremely ashamed, they can only bear the direct humiliation from the Night Army until they die.
Because of the low morale, the strength of those coalition generals was suppressed too much by the night army, as if they were directly deprived of a part of their strength. On the contrary, because of the continuous improvement of morale on the night army's side, whether it is an ordinary soldier or a general above, there is only the enemy in their eyes, and the enemy army in front of them is the enemy regardless of their strength.
