Chapter 461

The gossip in his ears made Lin Xuanzhong irritable, and it was the first time Lin Xuanzhong had seen such a night army, as if everyone had lost the confidence to win, which was very different from the previous night army with strong morale. Needless to say, Lin Xuanzhong knew that yesterday's battle was a great blow to the night army.

While thinking that the night army should be calmer at the moment, and marveling at the clever strategy of the enemy commander, Lin Xuanzhong felt that the enemy army had greatly damaged the morale of the night army at a very small cost. Obviously, the Wing Army Commander is very different from the two commanders who have faced the Night Army before, and the Wing Army Commander is a truly capable person.

The wisdom of the commander of the wing army made Lin Xuanzhong feel how powerful the power to hold thousands of lives and deaths was, and it made Lin Xuanzhong feel his own insignificance. Lin Xuanzhong didn't need to compare himself with such a powerful person as the commander of the wing army, but under the emotion, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't control himself, and thought wildly in his heart, and in the end, Lin Xuanzhong had some fear of the wing army.

This fear is more of a fear of war, and to this day, Lin Xuanzhong still feels that he is not suitable to be a soldier, let alone to participate in battle. Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts became more and more confused, thinking about it back and forth, and finally ended up powerless to change the situation?

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and the next morning, after a quiet night, the wing army came to scold again. I don't know what's going on, the number of winged troops who came today is even smaller, only 80,000, but the number of shield soldiers in the 80,000 winged army is not less.

When Lin Xuanzhong was training, the wing army scolded outside the city again, scolding the night army for having a false name, a group of rabble, in short, the night army was still scolded for nothing, and in the end, not only the scolding city defenders felt that it was a shame for them to stand on the city, but also scolded them for losing their temper.

A day passed, and Zhao Xu and the generals still did not discuss an effective way to crack the shield soldiers, at least in terms of the main attack. At the moment, according to the ideas of some generals, they can use ballistas to break up the formation of shield soldiers, but the number of existing ballistae is too small to rush to make it. Moreover, the role of the ballista is limited, and the effect on the shield soldier is not too obvious, and it is not convenient to use in the case of the main attack, or it is difficult to use.

On the defensive side, they can use the method of fire attack, as long as the enemy army cannot attack the city wall, then the enemy's shield soldiers will be baked by the flames just like ordinary soldiers. To put it simply, defending the city will obviously give the night army a greater advantage.

In addition, defending the city is the biggest result that the generals discussed together yesterday. Now the behavior of the Wing Army has made many generals irritable, and it is also a devastating thing for them to endure in this way, as long as there is a little blood, it is difficult to endure it, not to mention that most of these generals have already participated in several battles.

This is true of the generals above, and even more so of the soldiers below, but anyone with a little blood can't bear the insults of the wing army, which may also be the negative impact of winning all the time, and now the general above has been suppressing the emotions of the soldiers through military orders is not a good thing.

For others, the current situation is very unacceptable, but for Lin Xuanzhong, it is actually a test. Anyone who has read the book of war knows that it is not necessary for the two armies to face each other head-on, and those who are good at fighting through certain means can win without a fight. The actions of the Wing Army now cannot be regarded as victory without a fight, but at least they are making the war develop in this direction.

Before the decisive battle between the two armies, the behavior of the wing army and how the night army responded was completely a contest between the top leaders of the two sides. In Lin Xuanzhong's opinion, those ordinary soldiers were completely asking for trouble, and if the wing army did not come to attack the city, they would continue to defend it, as long as they obeyed the above arrangements with peace of mind.

But then again, although Lin Xuanzhong himself thinks so, but in the current environment, Lin Xuanzhong feels that even if his own considerations are very reasonable, Lin Xuanzhong himself can't do it, and he is still constantly influenced by others, maybe Lin Xuanzhong's will is still too fragile. The only thing Lin Xuanzhong can do now is to try to be as unaffected by those people as possible, not to really maintain a normal heart.

At night, Lin Xuanzhong met some acquaintances while patrolling, and it was not surprising that everyone did not have a good look on their faces, and they all seemed to be in a bad mood. It can be said that the atmosphere in the army is getting worse and worse, Lin Xuanzhong doesn't know what the solution is above, in short, it is not a good thing to go on like this.

The day went by like this, and after a day of harassment, in the evening, everyone wanted to have a good night's rest. As a result, just before going to sleep, the Wing Army actually sent another army to shout battle outside the city with torches. Shouting in turns, every night soldier in the barracks could hear it, so that the night army could not even get a good rest. Enraged by the actions of the Wings, many soldiers rolled over, put on their armor, picked up their weapons, and walked out of their tents to prepare for a big battle with the Wings.

On the tower of the city, Zhao Xu and Du stood there and couldn't determine the number of the wing army according to the situation below, Zhao Xu could only let the night army prepare, but unfortunately, after waiting for an hour, the wing army did nothing but scolding the battle, and there was no intention of attacking the city at all.

For the intensifying humiliation of the wing army, Zhao Xu strictly ordered that no general should bring troops to fight without permission, and those who violated the order should be beheaded. They could only stand in the city and listen to the insults of the wing army, and from time to time they would say a word, but unfortunately it had no effect.

Judging from the performance of the wing army in the past hour, the wing army just came to harass the night army to rest, Zhao Xu and the generals gradually understood this, but they were never sure of the specific plans of the enemy army, so Zhao Xu could only arrange for some people to go back to rest first, and the other part of the people continued to defend to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking the city.

A night was spent in the insults of the wing army, and the next morning, more than half of the soldiers of the third battalion did not sleep well, and many soldiers did not even sleep all night, and Lin Xuanzhong was one of them. Knowing that the Wing Army was deliberately interfering with their rest, Lin Xuanzhong just couldn't sleep, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't sleep, and the other night soldiers who lived together were also tossing and turning on the beds one by one, and finally stayed up until dawn.

After the sound of a trumpet, when the night army went to line up, everyone had a haggard face and no life. If it were to go through such a night again, I am afraid that the night army would collapse before the wing army came to attack the city.

Since joining the army, Lin Xuanzhong has realized for the first time, "What is a soldier who surrenders without a fight." While many soldiers scolded the enemy army for being despicable and shameless, Lin Xuanzhong lamented more and more that the enemy commander's strategy was clever, and he consumed the spirit of the night army without spending a single soldier.

After breakfast, the general did not ask the soldiers to participate in the training, but told everyone to rest on their own, but there was one point of emphasis, and it was emphasized that military affairs should not be discussed in private.

The lack of training made the poorly rested soldiers a lot easier, but the punctual insults of the wing army outside the city made the night army uneasy. As in the previous two days, the winged army shouted and cursed outside the city again. At first, it was the night army that shrank its head and the turtle, and then scolded the general Zhao Xu, saying that Zhao Xu was in vain and unworthy of his name, because Zhao Wucai sat in the position of the general and degraded Zhao Xu to worthless, and finally scolded the general of the night army for being a wine bag and rice bag. Without Zhao Wu, no one would have survived today.

The words of those in charge of scolding the war were extremely rude, it was hard to imagine that it was a group of men collectively cursing, and it was even more unbearable for this matter to reach Zhao Xu and a group of generals.

"General, instead of separating the enemy in psychological warfare, it is better to go out and fight with them happily, I will ensure that the winged army will be beaten to the bottom of the blood, and I will never dare to insult us outside the city again. It was Yan Nantian, another main general of the Arrow Battalion, who originally strongly supported Zhao Xu's view that he would not fight, but after two days of insults from the Wing Army, this person finally changed his position.

Especially after knowing that the Wing Army only sent 50,000 soldiers over today, and all of them were shield soldiers, Yan Nantian felt that the Wing Army's move was not only a provocation to the Night Army, but also a kind of contempt. But Zhao Xu, as the chief general of the three armies, can't make wrong decisions on impulse.

"Now His Royal Highness is also here, the general must give us an explanation," another general who was in the main battle put pressure on Zhao Xu. As a general of the three armed forces, in the past few days, Zhao Xu not only had to withstand the pressure of the enemy commander, but also had to deal with the pressure exerted by many subordinates, and it was really difficult to serve as a general.

But now the main battle seems to be the desire of the people, looking at the eager eyes of the generals, Zhao Xu realized that as long as he resolutely does not fight, he will definitely attract their opposition, but now the night army must not fight.

"Your Highness, is there any news from the night capital?" Without answering the generals' questions first, Zhao Xu turned to look at Lan Feng. For Zhao Xu, perhaps the instructions from the Yedu side will become the key to easing the situation.

"Not yet, I have sent spies to investigate many times, and it should be in these two days at the latest," Lan Feng shook his head, the current situation in the army Lan Feng is naturally clear, but Lan Feng has no place to help Zhao Xu, so Lan Feng is as anxious as those generals, of course, Lan Feng doesn't want to fight, he just wants to solve the current problem. Those generals put pressure on Zhao Xu as if they were putting pressure on Lan Feng, and Lan Feng was naturally not very happy.

"Since there is no news from Kyoto, it is estimated that our army will not have reinforcements to help us in the short term, so I ask the generals to keep this in mind. If our army is defeated, everything will be lost, and all the victories in the Snow Country will be lost. As the chief general of the three armies, Zhao Xu still insisted on defending the city.

"Having said that, did the general ever think that as long as our army defeats the wing army, everything will be solved. The main battle side was still unwilling to back down, and one general continued to say the main battle side's point of view.
