Chapter 261

Three days later, the night army officially set out, and the 200,000 army was divided into three armies: front, middle, and rear, and approached the eastern city of the Snow Country, Guanxi Lancheng. Xilan City is a frontier city in the eastern part of Snow Country, and its meaning of existence is very similar to that of Huangyan City. Because of the geographical advantage, Xilan City is much richer than Huangyan City, and there are city residents living not far from Chengguan.

In addition, because of the terrain, Xilan City is like the gate of the Snow Country, once the West Lan Pass is breached, the entire Snow Country will be exposed, and the importance of Xilan City to the entire Snow Country is obvious.

This time, Zhao Wu led an army of 200,000 to attack Xilan City with only three months of grain and grass, and did not bring any large siege equipment, if Xi Lan City could not be defeated within three months, grain and grass would become a big problem. Of course, in three months, the royal family of the Night Kingdom will collect more grain and grass to send.

If they can defeat Xilan City, the Night Army can get enough food, grass and ordnance supplies in Xilan City, and then fight all the way to Zephyr City. The fight was fought until the surrender of the Snow Royal Family, and the battle between the two countries naturally ended.

Lin Xuanzhong, who was traveling with many soldiers, was somewhat similar to when he was escorted, he had no freedom, but he knew less about the future situation, as for safety, it was natural, and the 200,000 army did not have to be afraid even if it encountered dozens of fierce beasts with more than 100 numbers.

Having said that, Lin Xuanzhong's adaptability is not bad, with the big bull brothers, Lin Xuanzhong gets along well with other soldiers, and can be integrated into a team.

Their chiefs have a good temper, and in the army they are in good shape except for personal freedom. By constantly following other people's conversations, Lin Xuanzhong gradually learned a lot of information.

As long as they take Xilan City, they can win the Snow Country in the Night Country, the Snow Country is not large in size like the Night Country, and the strength of the two countries is evenly matched at the beginning, but because the Night Country is not only fighting in the east, but also in the west. After the military force was dispersed, in fact, the number of troops invested by the Night Kingdom Imperial Family in the east was only half of the total military strength of the Snow Country.

This time the snow army came to attack the night army, and only 50,000 of the 150,000 troops fled back to Xilan City, and the existing strength of the snow country was at most 300,000, and there was only a gap of 100,000 with the army led by Zhao Wu, but because the snow army was not all concentrated on the eastern border of the snow country, when the night army arrived in Xilan City, the number of snow troops in the city would only be much less than that of the night army.

For the Night Army, naturally the fewer Snow Troops guarding Xilan City, the better, so that as long as they take Xilan City as soon as possible, they will be considered a great achievement. At the current marching speed of the night army, it would take three days to reach the outside of Xilan City.

Three days is no more, no less, there is nothing else to do every day except marching, it is very boring in the army, fortunately, everyone can get together to chat during the break, talk about their own things and martial arts, and finally pass some time.

For Wu Xiu, walking is the easiest thing, if it weren't for the heavy weapons he was carrying, everyone could have been on the road all day long.

"Qingfeng, why don't you speak?" Walking next to Lin Xuanzhong, Da Niu wondered why Lin Xuanzhong had been silent, because many people in the team were talking quietly, and they were going to attack the Snow Country Division, and they were all very energetic, but Lin Xuanzhong alone was lifeless and incompatible with the active atmosphere in the army, so Da Niu wanted to ask Lin Xuanzhong what he was thinking.

Since Lin Xuanzhong saved the two brothers in danger that day, Da Niu has been very curious about Lin Xuanzhong himself, and he really wants Lin Xuanzhong to show his aura in person, but unfortunately Lin Xuanzhong has never agreed.

"It's nothing, I just don't know what to say," After a few days of getting along, the relationship between Lin Xuanzhong and the Da Niu brothers is more natural, and there is no awkward feeling that there is an exchange between strangers, so the speech is very natural.

"Qingfeng, if you have anything on your mind, you can tell me, although I am a rough person, I still know a little about human nature. Da Niu speaks very directly, and there is more of a pride in his words, giving people a very refreshing feeling.

Although Lin Xuanzhong himself was reluctant to talk more, he still replied directly at this moment: "There is no opportunity to practice martial arts. "Maybe it's not a question that really bothers Lin Xuanzhong, but this question Lin Xuanzhong often considers, especially after joining the army.

After experiencing a lot of helplessness, now Lin Xuanzhong has figured out many things, some things can be done to the best of his ability, no matter whether he can succeed or not, he always has to try.

"Qingfeng, you don't have to worry about this problem, before the army is stationed and before we fight with the Snow Country, we all have the opportunity to practice, whether it is a group practice or a private practice. ”

"Can you still practice privately in the army?" Since joining the army, it has always been a group exercise, and Lin Xuanzhong really hasn't seen any soldiers practice in private, so he cares a lot about what Da Niu said.

"Of course, when we were still in the frontier camp, the brothers would often meet together in private. When it came to that period of border army life, Da Niu seemed very happy, and his face was full of smiles, but soon the smile gradually disappeared!

The army had only passed by the border army camp for a short time, and the ruined scene there after the destruction of the snow army gave people a sense of desolation. In less than half a month, tens of thousands of brothers died near the camp, in retrospect, Da Niu was a little sentimental, but after a while, Da Niu's face became serious again, and when he thought of the purpose of their trip, Da Niu transformed that sad emotion into a kind of hatred.

Da Niu's expression changed extremely obviously, Lin Xuanzhong could guess something from it, but he didn't know how to comfort the other party, and Lin Xuanzhong didn't know how to measure the right and wrong of the war, because the Snow Army also had a large number of soldiers killed.

I still remember the scene of the attack on the Snow Army camp that day, and the frightened expressions of those captives are still vivid, and in retrospect, there is no good or bad, but there is a difference between the two sides.

I don't know when the war between the two countries will end, and when I will be able to leave Shanhaiguan, Lin Xuanzhong feels that he can only take one step at a time from beginning to end. I don't know if the situation is too chaotic or his fate is too bumpy, in short, Lin Xuanzhong does not have the word stability in his eyes.

After a change in mood, Lin Xuanzhong, who came back to his senses, still wanted to know what Da Niu meant by the private exchange just now.

"Are you saying that when they are not training, soldiers can compete in private?"

"Exactly, Dahu and I often fight in private, and the army doesn't care about this, as long as the injuries are not treated at will, the soldiers can compete with each other at will. ”

"What if I get injured during the sparring?"

"That's nothing, every month the army pays us, and if we need medical treatment, we can pay for it ourselves. However, in general, except for a life-and-death duel, a little injury caused by a simple fight is nothing to us at all. ”

"How can there be a life-and-death duel in the army?" Suddenly hearing an attention-grabbing new word, Lin Xuanzhong was curious about what Da Niu meant.

"People don't always get along so well, sometimes just because of a sentence two people who meet for the first time will have a big contradiction, and even become enemies of life and death, and eventually the contradiction intensifies to the extent that outsiders can't mediate, then if the two continue to live together, they will definitely have to live and die, dueling is an extreme way to resolve contradictions, but it is still relatively common in the army. ”

"There are so many people in our army that it is impossible for everyone to have a temper that does not contradict each other, and if two people with opposing tempers meet each other, sooner or later there will be conflicts. Da Niu's words are quite detailed, and they still sound a little dragged, but the meaning of his expression is more obvious.

Lin Xuanzhong can understand what Da Niu said, there are good people and bad people in the world, but there are more people with different personalities between good people and bad people, and everyone's personality is different. It's just that Lin Xuanzhong was surprised that there was still a life-and-death duel in the army, and he didn't understand how there could be such a big contradiction, and Lin Xuanzhong, who hadn't even seen a small contradiction, really couldn't understand this situation for the time being. Anyway, Lin Xuanzhong had already gotten the answer he wanted from the big bull.

After arriving at the garrison outside Xilan City two days later, if he did not directly engage in battle with the enemy army, Lin Xuanzhong planned to practice swordsmanship in his free time. Every soldier in the army is equipped with short weapons, Lin Xuanzhong chose a sword, and with the corresponding weapons, he can naturally practice swordsmanship. As for the body method, you can ponder some more theoretical knowledge, and there is no ideal place to practice for the time being, so you don't need to practice it practically.

"Now that Brother Ming and Qingyi are not here, Da Hu and I will still need Qingfeng for guidance in the future, I hope Qingfeng you must not be too stingy," Thinking of the reason why Lin Xuanzhong asked him these questions, Da Niu had the idea of accepting Lin Xuanzhong's guidance. The scene of that day resurfaced in my mind, and now it seems that not only is Ming Wu's strength high, Qingyi's archery skills are good, and Lin Xuanzhong, who has the lowest realm, also has a skill.

In Da Niu's opinion, as long as there is one ability of the three of them, he and Da Hu can survive on the battlefield. The cruelty of war has been seen many times, and it is not easy to survive on the battlefield. Anyone who doesn't want to improve their survivability on the battlefield, but unfortunately in terms of martial arts, Lin Xuanzhong feels that he is only a star and a half stronger than Da Niu and them, and how can he teach the two Da Niu brothers well without any experience in teaching people.

"I can teach you some simple footwork," Thinking about it carefully, the only thing Lin Xuanzhong could take out his hand was his body.

"Footwork?" Da Niu muttered as if he didn't understand, and then smiled and agreed, "That's good." ”

In Da Niu's opinion, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to teach their brothers that it would not be an ordinary thing, so he quickly agreed with a smile.

"What are you talking about?" At this time, Dahu came back from chatting with others, and saw that his brother and Lin Xuanzhong were chatting very happily, so he came over curiously and asked what the two were talking about.
