Chapter 302

Originally, there were three main generals in the cavalry battalion, and this person's ability to serve as a commander naturally reflected Zhao Wu's fancy for him, but now Zhang Jiu's performance made Zhao Wu a little disappointed, but fortunately, the sincerity of admitting guilt was very sufficient, and Zhao Wu did not cut off this person's title of main general, but only lowered this person's rank by one level. To put it simply, although this person still has the title of chief general, his real military position is already one level lower than that of the other two main generals.

After the reward and punishment were over, Zhao Wu ordered Zhang Jiu to go back to be responsible for training the soldiers, and strive to make meritorious contributions in the future.

On the other side, Zhang Jiu was naturally grateful to Zhao Wu. Because according to military regulations, Zhang Jiu should be immediately dismissed and investigated. Also in the eyes of others, Zhao Wu's punishment of Zhang Jiu was too light, violated military regulations, and was difficult to convince the public, but this was Zhao Wu's military order, and now any decision made by Zhao Wu was regarded as the highest military order, so they naturally did not dare to object.

It is worth mentioning that for Zhang Jiu's punishment, the night country also has no opinion on joining the army, so that others will not have any objections.

For those meritorious generals, Zhao Wu directly rewarded them with some mansions in the city, and all the property in those mansions belonged to these generals. In addition, the merits of these generals are all recorded, and the better they perform in the future, the better the chance of being promoted.

Three days later, half of the generals were sent by Zhao Wu to train their soldiers, and according to Zhao Wu's instructions, the real war was still to come, and they were to train a stronger army before the big war came.

At the same time, the ministers sent by the royal family of the Night Kingdom were already on the way, and the 100,000 troops and 100,000 recruits that the Night Kingdom had recently recruited from all over the country with them would go to Xilan City to be trained by Zhao Wu.

In terms of supplies, following Zhao Wu's instructions, the 100,000 army only carried the amount of grain and grass they needed on the march. After waiting for Xilan City, what the recruits need, Zhao Wuzi will find a way to supply.

At the same time, the Night Country is busy stockpiling food and grass for the upcoming war, and the goal of the Night Country is to fight the world, not just the Snow Country. Of course, the world is not so easy to fight, otherwise the Northern Regions may not have the current situation where the countries stand side by side, but it may still be possible to fight for a foothold, in fact, this is also the original intention of the Night Country and other countries to form an alliance.

After returning to the new station, according to Zhao Wu's instructions, the night army where Lin Xuanzhong was now stationed was stationed in the southeast of Xilan City, fifty miles away from the city.

The Night Army built a camp there, and the two scattered armies combined to make a total of 80,000 Night Army. The night army built the camp very large, and it took only three days to set up camp.

Three days later, the soldiers in the barracks could have a tent as a place to rest, and through the observation and insight in the camp, Lin Xuanzhong gradually knew that they would not send troops in a short time, otherwise they would not have bothered to build a camp.

After the camp was built, the general above handed down instructions for the whole army to rest and recuperate, and the general's statement undoubtedly verified the soldiers' speculation about the armistice and rest.

After two battles in a row, there were many wounded soldiers in the night army, and it was indeed necessary to rest for a while to recuperate. The next time the army is dispatched, it will be the time when the Night Army will completely occupy the Snow Country.

Without the torture of war, in the camp, Lin Xuanzhong felt that life was quite good. Every morning, he practiced with the soldiers of the battalion, then had lunch, and then rested for a while to continue the drill, and practiced for three hours a day, not long or short.

Usually it is a training in the use of long weapons, only a few simple attack or defensive actions, and it is tiresome to practice all the time, so many soldiers are not interested in normal training, so that in their free time, many soldiers train alone on the school field, or in the way of competing with others, and each soldier is very active.

According to the general above, constant training is the only way for them to improve their survivability.

Unlike many people, Lin Xuanzhong does not compete with others in his free time, only practicing swordsmanship alone, and occasionally practicing simple body techniques. Of course, there are many reasons why Lin Xuanzhong is reluctant to compete with others, first, the strength of ordinary soldiers in the infantry camp is rarely seen by Lin Xuanzhong. Fighting with people whose strength is far inferior to oneself can be said to be a waste of time. Second, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want more people to see his own style.

But on the other hand, it is indeed a bit boring to practice swordsmanship every day, if you can find someone to compete, you can take this opportunity to see how well you practice swordsmanship. Based on various factors, Lin Xuanzhong was helpless when practicing swordsmanship.

In fact, because he only relied on his own practice, Lin Xuanzhong's attainments in swordsmanship had reached the maximum level, and there was not much room for improvement. If Lin Xuanzhong still wanted to improve his swordsmanship, there was only one way to really apply his swordsmanship in actual combat, but unfortunately in the previous two battles, Lin Xuanzhong did not do that.

Having been in the army for a long time and being very familiar with some of the situations in the army, Lin Xuanzhong knew that he did not have the opportunity to practice footwork alone. In fact, Lin Xuanzhong's footwork has reached a very high level, and like swordsmanship, it is only possible to improve it in practical use.

It has been a long time since he has practiced his body, and now Lin Xuanzhong is no longer as confident as before, and some are more helpless about the current situation. I don't know when I'll be back to the north.

For a while, the faces of many acquaintances kept appearing in front of him, until the picture stopped at Qinglan's delicate face.

"Qingfeng, what are you thinking?" Lin Xuanzhong was about to go down, but suddenly the voice of a big cow came from his ears.

Coming back to his senses, Lin Xuanzhong turned his head to see that the big cow and the big tiger were walking towards him.

"I didn't think about anything," not wanting to mention Qinglan's existence with the big bulls, Lin Xuanzhong had no choice but to shake his head at the two.

"Qingfeng, you've been practicing alone these days, and you rarely talk to everyone, do you have something on your mind?"

"yes, everyone is still happy about winning the battle, why do you always look sullen?"

Da Niu and Da Hu asked Lin Xuanzhong questions one after another, and Lin Xuanzhong, who asked the two questions, was a little embarrassed, because what they said was the true situation of Lin Xuanzhong.

"There's nothing on my mind," Lin Xuanzhong shook his head again.

"Qingfeng, the three of us have known each other for so long, is there anything on our minds, can't you tell me yet?" Da Niu really cared about Lin Xuanzhong, but Da Niu also knew Lin Xuanzhong very well.

In Da Niu's cognition, Lin Xuanzhong is a taciturn and unsmiling person. Of course, the first impression is fine, but the second can be said to be a misunderstanding, if it weren't for a bad mood, Lin Xuanzhong would definitely not like to laugh.

Under Da Niu's questioning, Lin Xuanzhong still wanted to avoid Da Niu's question, but he couldn't avoid Da Niu's serious gaze.

"Qingfeng, if you have any problems in the army, you can talk to our brothers, as long as we can help, my eldest brother and I will help you in the sword mountain and the sea of fire. Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong's eyes were wrong, as if he had something to say, Dahu stepped forward and expressed his heart sincerely.

The two of them talked about this, and even if Lin Xuanzhong still wanted to avoid it, he had to be honest at the moment.

"I'm thinking about when I'll be able to conquer the Snow Country, and when I'll be able to leave the army with Qingyi and them. Lin Xuanzhong said some of his thoughts very simply, although not all, but it was already the main part, after all, when he could leave the army was always an important issue for Lin Xuanzhong.

"I see," Da Niu nodded thoughtfully, and then recalled some things when he first met Lin Xuanzhong and the others, and sighed in his heart that time passed so fast, but he didn't expect that more than a month had passed in a blink of an eye.

"Qingfeng, you don't have to think too much, the general above has already said that as long as there are no armies from other countries to support the Snow Country, it will be a matter of time before we defeat the Snow Country. Da Niu replied affirmatively, but when he thought that Lin Xuanzhong would soon be able to leave the army without accident, Da Niu felt a little melancholy in his heart.

"Having said that, if there is any accident, I'm afraid it will still be difficult for me and Qingyi to leave the army!" Da Niu said that it was possible, Lin Xuanzhong naturally considered it, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't think it was a certain thing.

"Qingfeng, how can there be any accidents, I think you better relax," Da Niu didn't think there was any problem with defeating the Snow Country, but there might be the kind of accident that Lin Xuanzhong said in other aspects. Of course, in order to reassure Lin Xuanzhong now, Da Niu naturally picked a good one and said.

"Big Brother is right," when Lin Xuanzhong was considering Da Niu's relief, Da Hu continued on the side: "Qingfeng, since you and Big Brother Ming have already joined the army, there is no need to worry too much, anyway, when the war is over, you will definitely have a chance to leave." ”

"Besides, since you have no other choice, why don't you choose to adapt to the life of the army, so that at least you don't have to be as sullen as you are now," Dahu persuaded Lin Xuanzhong in a rather sensible tone, and from the tone of his speech, it could be heard that Dahu seemed to have gone through a stage similar to Lin Xuanzhong's current situation.

After hearing Dahu's words, Lin Xuanzhong's eyes lit up, his brows stretched out, and he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, as if all the troubles were suddenly gone by Dahu. Thinking about it carefully, Lin Xuanzhong felt that what Dahu said was very reasonable. Since there is no way to change your situation, perhaps adapting is the best way to do it.

In this way, according to Dahu, Lin Xuanzhong knew that he should try to integrate into the army. It may be difficult to work alone, but with the help of the big bull and the big tiger, everything will be much easier. As soon as his thoughts turned, Lin Xuanzhong had already made a decision.

"Well," nodding, Lin Xuanzhong looked at the two brothers with a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern." ”
