Chapter 728: Joining the War

Looking at the firelight from afar, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but recall some of the scenes when he fought the Wing Army in the Beast Ridge Pass. If it hadn't been for the coincidental rain that day, I'm afraid the Night Army's losses would have been much greater than before. The current coalition forces are not so lucky, the wind will only spread the fire, but the snow can't help them extinguish the fire, although the weather is bad tonight, but it can be said that the heavens still favor the night army.

Of course, what made Lin Xuanzhong feel even more was that if Ruan Qiling had used their beast attack plan to attack the Night Army, presumably the number of winged birds that Ruan Qiling had at that time would have been enough to affect all the Night Army. Fortunately, Ruan Qiling's strategy at the beginning was not as clever as the strategy they used now, so they now have the opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

When Lin Xuanzhong kept lamenting that fate was making people, when the coalition army camp received the news that the Night Country cavalry was detouring to the rear of the camp, Shi Jiangchuan and Tiexin's faces changed significantly. When they were about to fight the beast with all their might, they received the news of the arrival of the Night Army, which was a wave of unrest for them, and it became more and more difficult for the two of them to accept the current situation.

When the two of them thought that the foot soldiers of the Night Army must be behind, they both had the idea of withdrawing their troops. Those ordnance and food and grass can be dispensed with, but if they are not withdrawn, they may not even be able to save their lives. The two have been preparing for the siege for many days, but they didn't expect to fall into the current situation, and now in addition to an unexpected feeling, both of them have deeply realized Zhao Xu's power.

It can be said that the Night Army's beast attack plan has completely changed the direction of the situation, and even makes them doomed to have no chance of turning over after tonight's defeat, and tonight's battle will ruin the two of them. Unexpectedly, in less than an hour, the situation had deteriorated to such an extent, and inadvertently, the two commanders had already felt how heavy the responsibility was on their shoulders.

Since the camp was first attacked by the night army, there has been no good news until now. Although Tie Xin and Shi Jiangchuan intended to fight to the death with the night army who were good at using strategy, and then apologize for their crimes with death, they also had to put the prospects of their respective countries in front at this moment. Because once they suffered heavy casualties here, their country would become a second winged country, so the two wanted to preserve their military power.

"Withdraw," after a brief discussion, both commanders gave the order to withdraw, but the beasts would not let the coalition forces with the powder on their bodies withdraw. And they have been fighting with the coalition forces so far, and for the irrational beasts, not ending is their final end.

"Dang, dang, dang......" Not long after, there was a rapid gong sound from the coalition camp, which was a signal for retreat.

"The enemy army is about to withdraw," when the spies reported the situation in the melee area to Lin Xuanzhong, Li Jianran, who vaguely heard the sound of the gong over there, immediately said with a calm face.

"General Zhang has already led the cavalry to block their retreat, and it is not so simple for the enemy to escape," For Yan Nantian, as long as Zhang Daring is blocked in the rear of the enemy army, it will not be easy for the coalition forces to break through even if they want to concentrate their forces, after all, Zhang Daring has always had the title of a man who is a man and a man.

But then again, his own strength is indeed a little small, 60,000 cavalry against a coalition army with more than 300,000 troops, whether Zhang Daring can stop the enemy army is indeed worrying, so Yan Nantian's face is not as sure as his tone.

"No matter what, let's send troops as soon as possible, don't put too much pressure on the rear," Li Jianran and Yan Nantian had the same worries, so their faces were not easy at the moment.

"General Yan, without further ado, General Lao will lead the soldiers of the Arrow Battalion to battle first," the content of the two of them made Lin Xuanzhong, who had just received the news but could not make a decision directly, issue a military order in the blink of an eye.

"Yes," the next time, Yan Nantian agreed, and immediately took away the generals of the arrow battalion below. Immediately afterwards, under Yan Nantian's instructions, the soldiers of the arrow battalion in front of the array were directly divided into two teams, outflanking the coalition forces left and right.

It is naturally within the plan of the beast attack to let the archers attack first, and what those archers have to do is to keep up with the pace of the coalition forces and attack the coalition forces at the same time. The coalition forces are busy withdrawing their troops and must be defenseless against them, so they can attack the coalition forces with impunity.

The previous battles had brought enough ordnance supplies to the Night Army, and the archers each carried dozens of arrows on their backs. Even if they run out of arrows tonight, when the battle is over, they will have more arrows than before.

In a blink of an eye, Yan Nantian had taken all the soldiers of the arrow battalion away. Immediately afterwards, Lin Xuanzhong and Li Jianran marched forward with the infantry. For miles, they advanced entirely in a charge.

I had rested twice during the march before, and the physical strength of those soldiers was somewhat depleted, but fortunately, for tonight's battle, all the soldiers ate a lot tonight, and those foods provided a lot of strength for the night soldiers.

After moving forward three miles, the tens of thousands of infantry battalion recruits in front of the team charged and shouted "kill" as instructed by the above during training. By cheering each other on, the fear in each other's hearts was eliminated, and when those shouts of killing were connected, the morale of the night army increased to a certain extent.

In that amazing shouting and killing, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but straighten his waist, and his eyes became fierce. Emotions were infected, and for a while, Lin Xuanzhong had an urge to go into battle to kill the enemy, but when he realized that he was a commander, Lin Xuanzhong had no choice but to hold back that thought, and could only keep reminding himself to command the battle well.

"Those recruits haven't been on the battlefield yet, tonight is the opportunity to hone them, I hope General Fang's training will not disappoint us," Seeing a column of soldiers running forward from around them, full of momentum, Li Jianran wanted to know the strength of these soldiers.

"General Li, don't worry, those new troops have been trained for some time, even if they don't perform well today, they will definitely perform better next time," also paying attention to the soldiers who ran over, Lin Xuanzhong noticed that their queue was not so neat, but on the whole it was acceptable.

"In tonight's battle, General Lin is bound to be famous, I hope that in the future, General Lin will not waste Marshal on your cultivation," nodded, Li Jianran did not deny Lin Xuanzhong's opinion, but used this to talk about Lin Xuanzhong.

"The last general will definitely not disappoint the marshal," I was worried about whether the beast attack plan could be successfully implemented a few days ago, but now that the plan has been successful, Lin Xuanzhong remembered to leave the barracks again. This matter has been buried in the bottom of his heart, but now he suddenly remembered that that feeling still made Lin Xuanzhong feel as heavy as before, so when he answered Li Jianran's words, Lin Xuanzhong felt a kind of pressure.

This time, Zhao Xu asked Lin Xuanzhong to preside over the beast attack plan, and also asked several master generals to assist wholeheartedly, and for a period of time, Lin Xuanzhong's abilities in all aspects have been improved. Zhao Xu and Lin Xuanzhong, the cultivator of several main generals, knew that whether it was doing things or being a person in the future, Lin Xuanzhong felt that he had made great progress, so he was grateful to Zhao Xu and others, if he said that he was going to leave the army next, it would undoubtedly be a betrayal, and he would betray a lot of people.

Thinking that leaving the army had become a difficult task, Lin Xuanzhong had a feeling like he was being shackled by fate, as if many things were no longer up to him. Under the agitation of the mood, the column of soldiers had already rushed to the melee area.

In front of them were the wounded coalition forces, as well as the wounded beasts, all of whom were the targets of their attacks at the moment. Dealing with the wounded coalition forces and fierce beasts, those night troops are handy, and they don't find it difficult at all. Under their overwhelming onslaught, the beasts and coalition forces continued to fall, blood spilled all over the ground, and the wind and snow were burying the traces of blood and corpses.

Starting from the periphery of the melee area, the Night Army keeps finding every enemy or beast that still breathes, and then directly makes people and beasts lose their lives. Originally, there were many places on fire in the coalition camp, but after the night army entered the battle, there were more places on fire, and there was a mess everywhere.

After the 70,000 foot soldiers in front of them joined the battle, Lin Xuanzhong and Li Jianran continued to move forward with the remaining 30,000 soldiers. At the same time, the night archers on both sides of the camp ran forward as they fired at the area where the coalition forces were concentrated. When they are sure of the position of their infantry, they can use their bows and arrows with impunity.

A rain of arrows fell, and the enemy troops in the fringe area fell one after another unsuspectingly, leaving countless corpses behind in an instant, and along with those soldiers, there were fierce beasts with arrows stuck in their bodies. Because of their large size, those fierce beasts were naturally more vulnerable to attack. Regardless, the Coalition forces were rapidly dwindling in numbers, and soon the two Coalition Commanders received news that they were being attacked by the Night Army from all over the area.

"Gather the archers and cover with the archers," Faced with the news of the attack by the night army archers, the two commanders had the same idea, if they blindly retreated, it would only increase their own casualties, so no matter how chaotic the situation on the scene was, they could not let the night army attack.

Immediately afterwards, the generals of the arrow battalion who received the instructions hurried to mobilize manpower one by one, but unfortunately, in the midst of the chaos, it would take some time for them to make a good arrangement. Aside from the night army outside, the fierce beasts closer to them were even more reluctant to let them go, and soon many fierce beasts rushed to the queue of those archers, dealing a certain blow to the archers on both sides of the coalition army.

The situation was a bit chaotic, and the archers of the coalition army were reluctant to hold on to the battle, but fortunately it was not completely impossible. When the allied archers on the east and west sides reluctantly attacked, the unsuspecting night army outside was immediately hit with a strong blow.
