Chapter 262

"I didn't talk about anything," seeing that it was the big tiger coming, the big cow shook his head and asked, "Do you remember the time when the breeze saved us?"

"Of course I remember," mentioning the incident that he almost died at the hands of the Snow Army that day, Da Hu remembered it vividly, nodded very affirmatively and looked at Da Niu and asked, "What's the matter, is Qingfeng willing to teach us that method?" Thinking of this possibility, Da Hu suddenly became interested and looked at Lin Xuanzhong expectantly.

Regarding the big tiger's excited performance, Lin Xuanzhong shook his head helplessly and nodded, making the big tiger very puzzled. Then, Lin Xuanzhong explained to the big tiger.

At the same time, Qingyi was also very lively there, many people surrounded Qingyi in the middle, and kept asking Qingyi for archery problems, and Qingyi knew everything and explained his experience in archery to everyone in detail. Among those people were centurions and ordinary soldiers, and of course Feiyu was always next to Qing Yi.

Because Qingyi is a thousand-commander, but there is no shelf at all, so Qingyi's subordinates are willing to get close to Qingyi, and even the other commanders in the arrow camp have greatly improved their attitude towards Qingyi in recent days.

Qing Yi's popularity in the arrow camp is getting higher and higher, especially those new commanders, after hearing that there is a magic archer in their arrow camp, people often take the initiative to talk to Qing Yi to discuss archery problems.

Archery is not a martial art, it does not need strength as a support, it is just a skill. Attainments in archery depend on a person's own perception, and have nothing to do with personal strength. Although Qingyi is just an ordinary martial arts cultivator, his attainments in archery are indeed higher than those of ordinary commanders.

Discussing archery with Qing Yi, those thousand commanders can gain their own feelings, and they are willing to get acquainted with Qing Yi. Of course, it is also beneficial for Qingyi to communicate with them, not to mention expanding his knowledge and knowledge, but also to come into contact with some things that he didn't know in archery.

It turned out that their arrow camp had a killing weapon, a thousand catties of Jin Lin Yu, a weapon composed of a strong bow and a strong feather, which had the effect of shooting high-level martial cultivators.

Throughout the ages, all wars have restricted the intervention of ninth-order martial cultivators, because the ninth-order martial cultivators' personal strength is too strong, and their lethality on the battlefield is too great, and one person is enough to change the situation of a war of 100,000 people, but usually in the later stages of wars between countries, there will be generals or commanders like eighth-order martial cultivators in various armies.

Even if an eighth-order martial cultivator can't change the situation of a war, there is no problem at all in changing the situation in an area on the battlefield, and the more eighth-order martial cultivators there are, the greater the impact on the battle situation.

The material of the Jinlin bow is very rare, and it generally takes a sixth-order martial arts to open the bow, after transformation, later generations also changed the Jinlin bow to a Jinlin crossbow, the Jinlin crossbow is larger than the bow, and it usually takes several ordinary martial arts to use it, but no matter which method of use, the use requirements of the bow and crossbow are very simple, just to achieve that kind of strength.

Based on the communication with the others, Qing Yi knew that they had a few Jinlin bows in their army, which they would use at critical times in the future. I had already read the introduction of that kind of bow and arrow in the book, and Qing Yi really wanted to see the power of that kind of golden lin bow with his own eyes.

It is said that in front of the Jin Lin Bow, the high-level martial cultivators will be as fragile as ordinary martial cultivators, and there is such a sharp weapon, I don't know if there are any eighth-order martial cultivators who really dare to participate in the war, in short, a commander like Zhao Wu will not participate in the battle in most cases.

Having said that, in fact, since ancient times, there have always been people who have been developing weapons to restrain high-level martial cultivators, so now many high-level martial cultivators have acquiesced to the existence of those weapons, and it is extremely difficult for them to cultivate to the eighth order of the martial realm, so it is naturally not easy to go to the battlefield, so it is generally unlikely to encounter eighth-order martial cultivation on the battlefield, of course, the existence of seventh-order martial cultivation is commonplace.

Putting these things aside, in fact, it is the ordinary soldiers and commanders who really play a role on the battlefield, and other factors generally do not need to be considered.

The night army had been on the road for a day, and now they were sleepy, and after the generals forbade the soldiers to talk in private, everyone chose to rest. In the wilderness, there was no movement at all, and it seemed that the breath of the army could deter those fierce beasts that hunted at night for more than ten miles.

To Lin Xuanzhong's surprise, according to Da Niu, there were military sentries everywhere ten miles away, or even twenty miles away, and they would immediately send the news back if there was any movement, so there was no need to worry about being suddenly attacked by the army of the Snow Country or the fierce beasts.

There was nothing to do all night, and early the next morning, the army set off again, three hundred miles away, and two days to go.

Time passed quickly, and two days later, the army of the Night Kingdom was successfully stationed outside Xilan City. The camp is only thirty miles away from Xilan City, and the army is pressing, and the people in Xilan City are panicking, and the city is full of Snow Country defenders.

Long before the night army marched, Xu Tianyi retreated to Xilan City with the remnants, because he didn't bring much grain and grass, and many sergeants fled from the army during the retreat of the Snow Army to Xilan City, not wanting to participate in the war again.

When the Snow Army fled to Xilan City, the number of remaining sergeants in the army was only 40,000, and the original army of 150,000 in the Snow Country was now really scattered. After returning to Xilan City, the army of the Qingyuan Great Power immediately wrote to the Snow Kingdom Imperial Family to punish Xu Tianyi, and also asked the Snow Kingdom Royal Family to immediately send troops to reinforce Xilan City.

The two defeats at Huangyan Pass made the Qingyuan Great Power's army completely lose trust in Xu Tianyi, and no matter how much he Xu Tianyi pleaded guilty, this person still did not intend to disturb Xu Tianyi.

Xu Tianyi, the commander of the eighth-order martial arts cultivation hall snow army, whispered in front of the Qingyuan great power to join the army, but he did not get the opportunity to make a comeback. After the army withdrew to Xilan City, Qing Yuan immediately asked Xu Tianyi to step down from the post of marshal, and then appointed the city lord of Xilan City as the chief general of the defenders, temporarily acting as the commander of the three armies, and was responsible for the next strict defense of Xilan Pass.

Qingyuan's removal of Xu Tianyi from joining the army on behalf of the Snow Country royal family made Xu Tianyi lose face in the army, and Xu Tianyi, the commander of the Snow Army, who was originally beautiful, directly ended up in disrepute.

Xu Tianyi and Qingyuan's strength in joining the army is similar, but the other party's identity is too high, even if Xu Tianyi wants to reject the other party's order, he has to think about what consequences it will bring to himself. Even if he Xu Tianyi is a member of the royal family of the Snow Country, he does not dare to serve himself in front of Qingyuan's joining the army.

After Xu Tianyi stepped down from the post of commander, before the Snow Kingdom royal family did not have a new commander to come over, according to the instructions of Qingyuan to join the army, all military affairs were also taken care of by the city leader Yuan of Xilan City.

As the lord of a city, Zhang Yuan naturally has a very high status in Xilan City, and the position of temporary commander of the Snow Army is a matter of course. But Qingyuan joined the army and pushed Zhang Yuan out to alleviate the situation in the city, but it did not have a good effect, Xu Tianyi suffered two defeats in a row, and the snow army was beaten by Zhao Wu The story of falling flowers and flowing water has long spread in the city, and Zhao Wu's prestige is getting higher and higher like the rising sun.

After learning the news that the night army was marching towards Xilan City, whether it was the city guard or the ordinary city citizens in the city, everyone was in danger. As for Hong Sihai's defeat of Zhao Xu at first, few people in the city mentioned it, because the night army had the final victory.

Fortunately, part of the snow army has arrived in Xilan City to support in the past two days, otherwise in the panic of the people, the night country army has not yet arrived, and Xilan City will be defeated.

This afternoon, the spies outside the city kept informing Zhang Yuanyi of the movements of the night army, and Zhang Yuanyi and Qingyuan had been discussing things in the city. Regardless of when the Night Army will come to attack the city, they must first know the current situation of the Night Army.

How big is the camp, how many men and horses, how well is the equipment, how many generals are there, and all information can only be observed by the naked eye of spies. If you want to know the specific information, unless there are high-ranking generals in the night army, but unfortunately there is no now, and they can't buy specific information through special channels.

Similarly, in fact, the night army is also inconvenient to investigate the situation in Xilan City now, there is no way to enter the city, and they also know nothing about the troops in Xilan City. Under such circumstances, a direct siege of the city was likely to inflict incalculable losses on the night army, so since the camp was stationed, the generals of the army have been in charge of investigating the enemy's situation.

From discussing the plan to find out the news to executing the plan, everything is going slowly. At this moment, in the tent of the night army, Zhao Wu was discussing the siege of the city with the generals in the third battalion and the royal army.

Some people say that they will fight after entering it, some people say that they will find out the details of the snow army before fighting, and some people say that they will send envoys to persuade them to surrender. The generals were divided into three factions, each with their own opinions, and Zhao Wu and the sitting army had been watching the generals express their opinions.

"The Snow Army suffered two defeats in a row, and fled back to Xilan City in embarrassment to retreat to the city pass, they will definitely not take the initiative to go out of the city to face the battle, in my opinion, it is better for us to fight. ”

"The snow army is defending, we are attacking. As an attacker, we originally had a disadvantage in terms of terrain, not to mention that we don't know what the strength of the enemy army in the city is. A rash attack may cause casualties and damage the morale of our troops. ”

"It's better to send someone to say surrender, maybe you can also use this to inquire about some of the situation in the city. Each of the three parties has its own reasoning, and Zhao Wu, who has been discussing with everyone for a long time, fully understands it at this moment.

If it weren't for the lack of clarity about the details of the enemy's army, many generals would not have to consider the issues they were concerned about. Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to find out the situation of the enemy forces in Xilan City, since the three parties are dissatisfied with their respective statements, then this matter can only be decided by Zhao Wu himself.
