Chapter 215

In the barracks, there are only collective exercises, and only those officers can practice privately, and ordinary soldiers cannot find an open space to fiddle with their weapons, so a few people can only go to the training ground.

Originally, the three of them would not have the idea of training with those ordinary soldiers, but now they really don't want to stay in a small tent and do nothing, so they agreed to the proposal of the big bull brothers after a simple discussion.

Under the leadership of the Da Niu brothers, the three of them soon joined a team with significantly fewer people. He also held a spear, a common weapon for infantry. When fighting against cavalry, long weapons are very useful.

The spear is composed of an iron rod and a spearhead formed by hammering, and its weight is negligible for Wu Xiu, and it cannot be said to be closed in the hand, but there is no awkward feeling.

Under the explanation of the big bull brothers, none of them spoke after the three of them entered the queue, and listened to the teachings of the officer in front of the phalanx with the others. The leaders who found a few people arriving at the back of the team just looked at the late ones with cold eyes and didn't say anything.

"On the battlefield, among thousands of troops, the situation is ever-changing, everything pays attention to the word 'fast', and the slightest carelessness will die under the indiscriminate swords and guns," after a pause, the officer continued: "If you talk about fighting alone, the moves you practice privately on weekdays may still have some effect, but on the battlefield you may not even have a chance to complete a move." ”

"In a tense game, everyone has to improve the efficiency of fighting or defending, so it's about speed, eyesight, and momentum on the battlefield, not your tricks. ”

"Don't think that the current training method is simple and doesn't seem to have any attack effect, but on the battlefield, simple moves will be the only way you can kill the enemy. "The officers in front were incisive and imposing, constantly transmitting real combat concepts to the soldiers at the training ground.

The concept that the officer said was completely opposite to the concept of ordinary martial arts practice martial arts, but listening to the officer's meaning, what he said was the key to the soldiers going into battle to kill the enemy.

Recalling the scene of killing those robbers in the past, Lin Xuanzhong had a deep understanding that at that time, in addition to the body method, all the actions were real, simple, and there was no need to pay attention to the moves at all, just need to aim at the enemy's vital points, it can be said that the whole process does not need to be considered at all.

According to the previous officer, it is true that everything pays attention to the word "fast", and Lin Xuanzhong's body style is mainly characterized by fast. In short, Lin Xuanzhong himself can understand what this officer said, and of course, there is still a certain impact when he accepts such a concept for the first time.

In fact, understanding and true understanding are two concepts, one before the other, and Lin Xuanzhong has completed the leap between the two stages at this time.

"The army pays attention to teamwork, and must not go deep alone, otherwise once it falls into danger, it will be difficult to escape death. Not only did he talk about his own way of fighting, but the officer was also teaching all the soldiers how to go into battle to kill the enemy and how to fight it.

For the three who had never been soldiers, it was a new kind of knowledge. Then, after the officer had said everything that had to be said, the soldier was drilled. The use of spears is very simple, stabbing and swinging, and now training is more about pace.

On the battlefield, the march of the large army is required to be the same, to advance or retreat together, and to always maintain a common advance and retreat formation, which is generally the case with well-trained troops.

An hour later, Lin Xuanzhong had learned the kind of pace that was unique to the army, and the method of using the spear. In terms of the weapon itself, the length is sufficient, and when facing cavalry, it can reduce the fear of cavalry, and in the face of the same infantry, it needs to fight to the end.

On the battlefield, weapons are the only reliance of soldiers, once broken, it will affect all the offensive intentions of soldiers, and it may also put soldiers in trouble, so ordinary infantry also wear short swords. After the spear is broken, they can also use a short sword.

In fact, when the war reached a fever pitch, weapons were no longer the main thing, and the most important thing was how to facilitate killing. Now an hour has passed, and sweat has dripped from Lin Xuanzhong's forehead, today's training was originally based on combat methods, but Lin Xuanzhong has not practiced martial arts for a long time.

I worked very hard during the exercises, so I was a little tired before I knew it. For a long time, the officers in front had given everyone a lot of rest, and now it was time to rest, and the five of them sat together and discussed their usual training.

Under Da Niu's explanation, a few people gradually realized that their usual training was several times more difficult than now, and the current training was very easy. Because the enemy army may attack at any time, the army cannot conduct intensive training, otherwise they will not have the strength to resist once the enemy army comes.

When Lin Xuanzhong and the others continued to talk about the army, in Zhao Xu's camp tent, all the high-ranking generals of the army were inside, but one of those people was obviously not wearing a military uniform, and he didn't look like a person in the army.

"General Wen, is the royal family really going to attack Snow Country?" Zhao Xu held a document in his hand, his expression was always uncertain.

"There is no doubt that after the meeting between the general and the imperial envoy last night, he has already made it clear to our subordinates that the royal family of the Night Kingdom will unite with the royal families of the other six countries and attack the surrounding countries. The army will arrive at Chengguan in a few days, so the general specially ordered me to come over and bring the news to the general. Under Zhao Xu's inquiry, the person known as General Wen immediately gave a brief explanation of the situation.

And this person is not an envoy from the royal family, but a subordinate of the general of Chengguan, and he has contacts with Zhao Xu, and the two sides naturally know each other.

"General Wen, did the general clearly say when he would withdraw his troops?" Zhao Xu then asked after confirming the accuracy of the rest.

"The general said that everything was up to the general himself. ”

As soon as General Wen said this, Zhao Xu's face tightened, and he didn't know what the general of Chengguan meant, so he couldn't help but be silent.

"General, in that case, why don't we retreat to the city pass as soon as possible," when Zhao Xu was thinking about the problem, a general understood what was going on and immediately gave advice.

"Well," Zhao Xu said thoughtfully, "I have my own opinions on this matter." ”

"General, don't you plan to withdraw your troops immediately?" Seeing that Zhao Xu did not specify the time of withdrawal, a general asked with a puzzled face.

"The retreat of the army must be carried out in an orderly manner, the camp is still dozens of miles away from the city pass, if the enemy army learns the news, it may chase after it with all its might, and then our army will be in trouble. Zhao Xu naturally knew that the sooner he withdrew his troops, the better, but the Snow Army had to guard against it.

"The order went down, the three armies continued to drill, and the other personnel were responsible for loading grain, grass and weapons, secretly making all preparations for evacuation, and officially withdrawing troops tonight. After careful consideration, Zhao Xu could only issue such a military order.

Now that Zhao Xu finally said the specific time for withdrawing troops, everyone who had long wanted to retreat to the city pass had no objection. Next, when many generals left the camp to take charge of the withdrawal of troops, Zhao Xu had a private exchange with General Nawen.

Without reinforcements, Zhao Xu got the result that they had to rely on themselves on all the way to withdraw the troops, which was a test for the general defending the city to their border army. After gradually comprehending the meaning of the general defending the city, Zhao Xu already knew what to do next, and General Nawen had already brought the news to Zhao Xu, and was now about to go back to restore his life.

Time passed little by little, and not long after General Wen left, the Snow Country army had already arrived at the place where their vanguard troops were stationed. The army of more than 100,000 people was in the dust, and there were many siege beasts and siege equipment.

Those Thorn Beasts have been universal siege beasts since ancient times, and it is best to use them to break through the gates, and bringing them with Thorn Beasts and siege equipment is a complete demonstration of the determination of the Snow Nation army.

After joining with the vanguard troops, Snow Country transferred a total of 150,000 troops to attack the eastern fortress of Night Country, which is a quarter of Snow Country's strength. Serving the Qingyuan country, the snow country is indeed working hard.

Along with the commander of the army, there was also a prison army sent by the Qingyuan Great Power, who was responsible for observing the movements of the Snow Country army, and secondly, assisting the army to take the various cities of the Night Country. The 150,000 army stood in unison on a wasteland, one after the other, and the figures were densely packed, and the formation alone was already extremely amazing.

As soon as the army arrived, the commander and many generals were invited by General Hong to the big tent that had been prepared long ago. The marshal and the overseer were in the upper position, and the other generals surrounded the previous case with a topographical map of the night country by the river.

After General Hong gave a detailed report on the situation of the first battle, the commander-in-chief of the three armies and the overseer army gave in humbly, and then the superintendent said: "Send an envoy to surrender immediately, if not, the army will be overwhelmed tomorrow afternoon." ”

Persuasion is a common means of war between the two countries, if you think that the other side will surrender, then send envoys to lobby first. If the contradictions between the two sides are too deep, then go to war directly. There is also the war letter to persuade surrender, if the other party is unwilling to surrender, then directly issue a war letter. Now the prison army has to use the third way.

It has been a rule since ancient times that the envoys of the two armies do not fight each other, and it is easy for the envoys of the Snow Country to enter the main tent of the camp and talk to Zhao Xu and a cadre. It is nothing more than telling a cadre about the advantages and disadvantages of surrendering, and the benefits usually outweigh the disadvantages.

I had already received the order to withdraw the army, and before the night country army arrived, Zhao Xu and they were going to retreat to the city pass, no matter how many people came from the snow country, they would not surrender to each other, but for the time being, they could not provoke the other party, so Zhao Xu responded in a normal negotiation way.

I'll give you an answer early tomorrow morning, so that I can send the envoy back.

If not, the two armies will immediately go to war. General Zhao's reply did not satisfy the Snow Envoy, but the Snow Envoy had already achieved the purpose of this visit.

"General, the Snow Country's army has arrived at the station, and our retreat won't be a problem tonight, right?"

Regarding the withdrawal of troops, Zhao Xu had thought about it many times. If the Snow Army discovers their movements first, and the Snow Army sends people to chase them, then the baggage they carry can be thrown away, and it is best for the army to rush to Chengguan as soon as possible. But if you think about it carefully, there are too many uncertain factors, and Zhao Xu has no foolproof way.
