Chapter 837: Situation Outside the Camp
Chapter 837: Situation Outside the Camp
After leaving the tent, Lin Xuanzhong chose a few more camps to visit, and the wounded in the other camps also recovered well, but when Lin Xuanzhong went to visit the wounded in those camps, he no longer had the happy feeling when he went to the first camp.
In any case, most of the lightly wounded were now able to move independently, and because of the side by side that night, the soldiers no longer cared about their origins, and called each other brothers, such a harmonious scene was exactly what Lin Xuanzhong wanted to see the most. After several attacks, the discord in the Forces nouvelles was finally greatly improved. Although he paid a lot of money for this, he really didn't have to worry about not being able to lead these soldiers normally in the future.
I believe that even those surviving Yangguo soldiers will not betray themselves easily, and when they encounter any problems in the future, there will only be unfavorable commands from above, and there will be no more problems of disobedience by soldiers below. Now that the morale of the army has been so stable, Lin Xuanzhong can think that he and other generals can think about dealing with the current situation as much as possible, and no longer have to worry about the discord of the new army.
After breakfast, Lin Xuanzhong first took the generals to reorganize some of the personnel, and then arranged some generals to be responsible for the next training, and finally took some generals to discuss the current military situation.
Today's meeting is a supplement to the discussion with Fang Quyin the day before yesterday, Lin Xuanzhong wants to discuss their next way to deal with the situation, no matter what, before the reinforcements come, they must ensure the stability of the army. For the time being, because the grain and grass are still sufficient, some problems have not yet been revealed, but when the opponent's army is approaching and the other side is short of materials, many problems will be manifested, so the main content of the meeting is to discuss in advance some measures to ensure the stability of the follow-up military situation.
It is roughly divided into two time periods, abundant and scarce. In the first stage, the daily training of the new army, the clarification of military regulations, the reappointment of some personnel, the acquisition of information, the acquisition of food, and the elimination of any waste, it can be said that the specific content involves all aspects of the daily life of the soldiers. The second stage is how to stabilize the military situation and wait for support when there is a shortage of food and grass.
The specific arrangements for the first stage are based on the second stage, and it can be said that they are entirely aimed at ensuring the stability of the military situation in the later stage. Of course, they didn't ignore the worst-case scenario, what if they didn't wait for help. Unfortunately, when deliberating on this most important issue, the following generals were unable to make good proposals, so the whole meeting did not last long.
After the meeting, knowing that it was still too early to discuss some issues, Lin Xuanzhong and the other generals were quite stable.
After separating from those generals, Lin Xuanzhong thought of the fact that at the meeting just now, some generals had mentioned issues that were not related to the topic of the meeting. At present, there are two groups of prisoners in the camp, together there are fifty or sixty people, and they consume a lot of food and grass every day. Therefore, some generals proposed to kill all the prisoners, saving food and grass while letting the soldiers vent their anger. Some generals proposed to trade those people with the Sword City and the Blockade City in exchange for some supplies needed in the army.
The generals also argued about it, and as a result, Lin Xuanzhong opposed both proposals on the grounds that keeping those people might be useful at a critical moment. Putting aside the rights and wrongs of the two suggestions of the generals below, from his own point of view, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to kill those people. Because in Lin Xuanzhong's eyes, those people are all innocent people, or killing them will only increase the hatred between the two sides, which is harmful to the current situation.
Of course, there is a problem that cannot be ignored, as long as those people are kept alive, the barracks need to provide food and water, so it is always a problem to keep those people alive. Besides, there are not many medicines left to inhibit the strength of Shi Jiangchuan and the others, so Lin Xuanzhong has to make up his mind quickly on the issue of prisoners.
After handing over some major military affairs to Zhang Jiutian, some additional issues were left to Lin Xuanzhong's own consideration. There had been a battlefield on the east and west sides of the camp, and now the bodies have been removed, but the roads are still bloodstained. There is no smell of blood but it makes people uncomfortable, and when most of the wounded recover, Lin Xuanzhong plans to change the location and set up camp, and then take all the surviving new troops to the place where the dead soldiers are buried to worship those brothers who died in battle, it is the death of those people in exchange for the survival of others, Lin Xuanzhong does not want to forget those people, and also wants to express his guilt to those people.
While thinking about these things, the rest of the time either went to see what Xue Yin was busy with, or went to visit Ruan Ming. Ruan Ming was too seriously injured before, and now she can't get out of bed, and she needs to be taken care of by someone for food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is worth mentioning that Lin Xuanzhong's original tent has now become the residence of Xue Yin, Ruan Ming, Han Xuan and two girls, and all the women in the army live in that tent.
After the events of that night, Xue Yin not only became the direct life-saving benefactor of many soldiers, but also was recognized by everyone, and now those new soldiers can understand how worthy of the name of Xue Yin's identity as a great pharmacist. On the other side, Lin Xuanzhong also knew that it was not useless to walk with Xue Yin. really thought about it early, that night, Xue Yin's credit surpassed that of all the soldiers, including Lin Xuanzhong.
Some of Zhang Jiutian's remarks in the past have been confirmed, and Xue Yin can really become a big help for Lin Xuanzhong on the road to becoming handsome. In addition to visiting a few daughters, occasionally Lin Xuanzhong would go to Fang Quyin to have a look. The rear army began to train normally yesterday, because if you are idle all the time, it will make people feel unstable, and only by training as usual can the soldiers ensure a normal state, but the overall morale of the current night army elite does not seem to be as good as the new army.
I don't know if it's because of the current situation, or because I didn't agree to use the former army as the siege vanguard to capture the city for them as soon as possible, and Lin Xuanzhong still remembered that he refused to send troops on the grounds that there were too many wounded, and the consideration of the new army seemed to have violated Zhao Xu's special explanation at the beginning, and he wanted to let the new army play a role as much as possible, which may be why many soldiers were dissatisfied.
In addition, Lin Xuanzhong also felt that in the eyes of those soldiers of the rear army, the main reason why the former army was able to defeat the personnel of the Blockade and Sword City was that he and Xue Yin were not the credit of those new troops, so they still looked down on the new army.
In the case of looking down on the new army, they will naturally still resist the new army, and Lin Xuanzhong knows that the morale of the rear army has a lot to do with it. Because of the problems in the army, Lin Xuanzhong also realized that he should indeed be responsible for the army, and of course, his previous reluctance to fight would not change. Maybe the fighter plane has been delayed, but that is not Lin Xuanzhong's decision alone.
Before, when Lin Xuanzhong proposed to stay in the camp and explain the corresponding views, Fang Quyin, who was present, did not object. A large part of the reason why Fang Quyin agrees with Lin Xuanzhong's views on avoiding war is the change of the new army. After encountering several attacks at one time, there was no situation of Yang soldiers in the new army fleeing the camp, which shows that the most unstable Yang soldiers would not betray Lin Xuanzhong.
Since Lin Xuanzhong can make those soldiers who are willing to serve the Yang Kingdom, the soldiers of the Flying Country and the Wing Country will not have a problem. The current new army, although not many in number, is a full-fledged army. The strength of the new army has become not to be underestimated, and it cannot be used to charge into battle at will, and the reason why Fang Quyin agrees with Lin Xuanzhong's opinion is actually based on the consideration of the overall changes in the new army, not just because of Lin Xuanzhong.
Of course, there was another important reason why Fang Quyin decided not to attack the city, as Lin Xuanzhong put forward, if they failed to capture the lockdown at one time, the consequences would be unimaginable. Once the siege failed and they had to return to the camp, the army had to escort all kinds of supplies slowly, as long as the other side attacked along the way, they would definitely be able to beat them and flee. If they lose food and grass because of this, they will only be a dead end, and the time will be much earlier than the large camp left behind, so they cannot afford the consequences of the failure of the siege.
However, there is one thing that Fang Quyin and Lin Xuanzhong know very well that the lockdown and sword city must be preparing to prevent them from attacking the city at present, and the longer it drags on, the greater their defense, and the more difficult it will be to take it. It had been a few days since that night's attack, and they had lost their best chance to attack the city.
In a way, losing their time has something to do with the current situation. The lone army is deep and surrounded on all sides, and in the case of isolation, every move of the night army is to affect the whole body, and for this reason, they also have to choose a conservative way. Based on all considerations, waiting for rescue seems to be their best option, and as for the final right or wrong, only time can tell.
When the situation in the military camp gradually stabilized, in Sword City, it was not surprising that after a holy decree came, those cities north of Sword City responded to Emperor Yang's call and constantly organized people to conquer the night army. In the various cities, those who had long been strongly hostile to the Night Army spontaneously joined the conquest of the Night Army, from the outermost Fossil City to the nearby Chifeng City.
