Chapter 679: Chance Encounter
"En," Han Xuan nodded seriously in the face of the maid's inquiry, and then explained, "Before I went back, Brother Lin could already defeat an ordinary seventh-order martial cultivator. Now that a few months have passed, Brother Lin's cultivation talent must have improved greatly, and it is not a problem to kill three high-level martial cultivators who are not in good condition with the power of one person. Thinking of Lin Xuanzhong's unbelievable body style, Han Xuan was very sure of his inference.
"That young lady can be a deputy general for General Lin, I remember that my uncle also said that General Lin is a first-class wolf general, and his status in the army is much higher than that of ordinary generals, and Miss must be very majestic to be a deputy general to General Lin," After Han Xuan's confirmation, Fei Ying immediately proposed with a smile.
"This matter still needs to be agreed by the above," unable to deny the maid's words, Han Xuan simply took the opportunity to continue.
When Han Xuan continued to talk to the two maidservants, Lin Xuanzhong and Zhang Jiutian had already walked to the place where they were eating. After a brief dinner, the two went back together, and they had been discussing Han Xuan's affairs on the way back and forth. Based on the fact that the vast majority of people in the army are men, Han Xuan has many issues to consider when he joins the army. It was not difficult for the two of them to think that once Han Xuan stayed in the army, they would have to be prepared to endure more hardships than normal soldiers.
When the two talked about Han Xuan, Lin Xuanzhong thought of a person, a person who could not be forgotten. is very similar to Han Xuan's temperament, the woman who was arrested for attacking the grain and grass team was also so heroic, more heroic than ordinary men. If the battle with the coalition forces ends smoothly, the next should be to send troops directly to the wings. Only by forcing the Wing Emperor to abdicate can they truly capture the Wing Country.
It's a pity that it has been less than half a month since the coalition ordnance unit arrived at the coalition camp, and there is still no good plan on it. Regarding how to solve the huge crisis in front of him, Lin Xuanzhong always had a feeling of helplessness, the more things the two talked about on the way back, the more questions they thought of, until they returned to their residence, the two of them couldn't say why, and in the end Lin Xuanzhong could only go back to rest with a stomach full of doubts as usual.
Before dawn the next day, Lin Xuanzhong got up early and went to the courtyard to practice, practiced archery several times in a row, and then went directly to the city with Zhang Jiutian to take over the post.
By the time the two arrived, the 3,000 soldiers of the headquarters had already stood neatly on the city, and the distribution of personnel from the tower to both sides gradually decreased. Lin Xuanzhong and Zhang Jiutian hadn't inspected it yet, and another arrow battalion soldier came up below.
"Brother Lin, long time no see," Lin Xuanzhong and Zhang Jiutian were checking the personnel arrangement in the city, and two figures suddenly appeared in front of them blocking Lin Xuanzhong's vision.
"Fei Yu," he looked at the speaker for a few breaths, and Lin Xuanzhong recognized the identity of the speaker because of Qing Yi next to him. Immediately afterward, Lin Xuanzhong recalled all the memories related to Fei Yu. When he first joined the Night Army, he was able to join smoothly because of Fei Yu's relationship, and Fei Yu was still the benefactor of Lin Xuanzhong and Qing Yi.
"General Lin still remembers me, which really makes Fei Yu feel very honored," Fei Yu smiled, and that smile still gave people the same hearty feeling as before.
"Why are you two in the city?" Lin Xuanzhong was surprised to meet the two of them in the city, and he was also very happy.
"Like General Lin, we are also in charge of guarding the guard today, I really didn't expect to meet General Lin in the city, I haven't seen him for many days, but General Lin is getting more and more outstanding," smiled faintly, and Fei Yu's joy was also overflowing.
"His name is Zhang Jiutian and he is my lieutenant," suddenly remembering that Fei Yu might not know Zhang Jiutian yet, Lin Xuanzhong immediately took the initiative to introduce Fei Yu.
"I have admired the name of Vice General Zhang for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name, in Xia Feiyu, the deputy general of the seventh department of the arrow battalion," As a famous cultivation genius in the army, Zhang Jiutian should have spread his name in all directions, but because of Lin Xuanzhong's existence, many rays of light were obscured. Of course, it is precisely because of Lin Xuanzhong's relationship that Fei Yu will answer like this at this moment.
"Vice Admiral Fei's words are serious, Zhang is just a deputy general, where does he come from?" Xiang Feiyu smiled, Zhang Jiutian had a feeling of great knowledge, I don't know how Lin Xuanzhong knew so many people in the army, and all of them were not ordinary.
"Qingfeng, there is still a vacancy for the position of deputy general below you, has there been no suitable candidate?"
In a blink of an eye, the four of them were already walking together, so the conversation became more and more casual.
"There are already suitable candidates, but we are still waiting for the news above. ”
"Oh, I don't know who it is?"
"Han Xuan. ”
"Miss Han?" Qing Yi tried hard to recall his memories about Han Xuan, and thought of a lot of things for a while.
"Well, Han Xuan has now been promoted to the ranks of high-level martial cultivators like Vice General Zhang, if the above allows, I can let her fill the vacancy," In deciding to recommend Han Xuan as his deputy general to the above, part of the reason was indeed the relationship between Lin Xuanzhong and Han Xuan, so now Lin Xuanzhong intended to mention the progress of Han Xuan's strength.
"How did Miss Han join the army?"
"It's a ......long story," Immediately after, Lin Xuanzhong explained to the two of them in detail why Han Xuan joined the army and why he wanted Han Xuan to be his deputy general.
"Brother Lin's position as a deputy general is a serious shortage, presumably the above may not agree to let someone with no experience in marching and combat take over, so Brother Lin still shouldn't expect too much," Waiting for Lin Xuanzhong to tell the things related to Han Xuan, Fei Yu said his own opinion very objectively.
"Let's see how the above responds, I'm not in a hurry at the moment," Fei Yu's meaning Lin Xuanzhong was very clear, although it was a bit overkill to let Han Xuan be a centurion, but if he held the position of deputy general at the beginning, it would be difficult to convince the public. Not only because Han Xuan is a woman, but also has no qualifications, Lin Xuanzhong now doesn't even know if those thousand commanders below will agree.
kept moving forward, several people chatted for a long time, from private matters to military affairs and from military to private affairs, no matter how big or small, they all mentioned it, as if the four of them wanted to take advantage of this chance encounter to express their inner depression.
After a while, Zhang Jiutian and Fei Yu went back to check the personnel arrangement on the other side, while Lin Xuanzhong and Qing Yi continued to walk forward side by side. The rising sun continued to shorten the shadows of the two, and gradually dispelled the cold surrounding the two.
Walking on this ancient road paved with bluestone, the figures of the two are getting farther and farther away.
"Qingfeng, what do you have to say about dealing with the coalition forces?"
"There are plans to transfer troops and reinforcements above, but the specific time has not yet been decided, but in my opinion, the marshal will transfer the new army that was originally left in the snow country in a few days," Beast Ridge Pass is the border between the two countries, and it is somewhat far away from Fancheng, even if there is no need to escort grain and grass, according to Lin Xuanzhong's idea, the above will still transfer troops a few days in advance.
"With that support army, we only have a total of 250,000 troops, and most of them are new soldiers, do you think our troops can resist the well-armed forces, and the strength may be several times that of our coalition forces?"
"There's not much hope, but there's not much else to do about it at the moment. Although Fancheng is very sturdy, it also limits our flexibility. ”
"Is there any other way to get so hard?"
"If you want to defeat the enemy army several times our size, in addition to using tactics, it is not much to win a head-to-head battle," shaking his head, Lin Xuanzhong deliberately explained: "The coalition camp is heavily guarded, and now the position ten miles away from their camp is set up corresponding guards, and it is difficult for our spies to get close to their camp, not to mention that our army can raid the coalition camp without their knowledge." ”
"If you can't take the initiative to attack, can't you wait for them to attack the city before defeating them? When the army of the Snow Country attacked Huangyan Pass, Marshal Zhao Wu used the strategy of blocking the enemy's retreat to defeat the enemy. After getting some specific information from Lin Xuanzhong, based on some of his own opinions, Qingyi asked Lin Xuanzhong again.
"Fancheng is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the mountains are extremely steep, and there is no secret route for marching. Moreover, there are many internal forces in Fancheng, and the major forces may still have different intentions towards our night army, so they can't rely on their strength. Otherwise, once they stab themselves from the rear when fighting with the coalition forces, the consequences will be unimaginable, so in terms of relying on the power of Fancheng, the measures that have been taken above are not suspected. Not only that, but beware of them when engaging coalition forces. ”
"Isn't the city lord of Fancheng urging us to surrender, does he also have the heart to resist?"
"Since Ruan Sihai has taken the risk and chose to surrender to the night army, he naturally doesn't dare to have any more dissenting intentions, but the power that Ruan Sihai has in the city can only be used to contain another part of the force, and he can't allocate manpower to help us. Speaking of Ruan Sihai, Lin Xuanzhong remembered what Zhao Xu had said before. After all, Ruan Sihai is a member of the royal family of Yiguo, although at first he took the initiative to surrender to the night army and sacrificed Fancheng, but he still had to defend himself, so not only could he not count on Ruan Sihai at the moment, but the night army could not be negligent in taking precautions.
At present, the coalition forces are strong, and many aspects that are unfavorable to the night army have been covered up, but some problems can not be ignored, and it can be said that the more severe the situation, the more careful they must be. In the past few days, Lin Xuanzhong has learned a lot from Zhao Xu, and now he is just repeating what Zhao Xu has said to Qingyi.
It seems that because what he said was what Zhao Xu had said, while talking and thinking, Lin Xuanzhong thought of many things for a while, the most important of which was that Lin Xuanzhong found a problem. Although he joined the army at the same time as himself, Qing Yi didn't seem to have much talent in military affairs, and the questions that Qing Yi asked just now could be thought of by ordinary soldiers even if they relied on common sense, but Qing Yi was already a deputy general and couldn't understand it on his own.
After a period of surprise, Lin Xuanzhong could only think that Qing Yi could become a deputy general entirely because of his military exploits. I don't know if my discovery is good or bad, Lin Xuanzhong can't say anything about it now.
