Chapter 612: On the March

In the next time, it may be because Ruan Yi's way of expressing his intention was too direct, and Xu Mu, who was too surprised, fell directly into silence.

"Your Highness plans to ambush the night army's grain and grass team?" The light in his eyes flashed, and it didn't take long for Xu Mu to figure it out.

"Exactly," Xu Mu's inquiry made Ruan Yi sure that he was not mistaken, this Xu Mu was indeed a smart person.

"This plan is indeed feasible, but I don't know what kind of help His Highness needs from Xu?"

"His Royal Highness is here for the first time, and he is not very familiar with the road conditions from Jiucheng to the process, and I hope that City Lord Xu can realistically provide His Highness with some places suitable for ambushing the night army. In addition, the main hall came down in a hurry, and there were not many people with him. It would be great if the city lord could provide some more manpower assistance. Ruan Yi's first sentence is based on practical facts, but the second sentence clearly contains a lot of temptation.

"A suitable place for ambushing the night army," a thoughtful look appeared on Xu Mu's face, and then dispersed, "The mountain road from Jiucheng to Liucheng accounts for most of it, in that mountainous area, there have been many caravans that have been blocked and robbed before, Xu can indeed recommend a few good places to His Highness." ”

"Someone, go get the local topographic map," with a faint smile, Xu Mu ordered directly to the guards guarding behind the door.

"The city lord is so gracious, Ruan Yi is grateful," Seeing Xu Mu's performance so refreshing, Ruan Yi was very excited in his heart, and immediately thanked Xu Mu.

"Your Highness is welcome, I don't know how many people Your Highness needs?"

"The number of people is not a problem, Ruan Yi wants loyal and brave people, if you can, please ask the city lord Xu to help me choose some people with better strength. ”

"I understand what Your Highness means, and this matter is not difficult. When the king recruited a large number of soldiers, almost all the families in the city had personnel enlisted, and presumably after learning of His Highness's plan to ambush the night army, he would definitely not stand idly by. ”

According to Ruan Yi's tone of speech, Xu Mu had already guessed that Ruan Yi and their existing manpower must be far more than the four people in front of them, and they could even speculate that there were many high-level martial cultivators among them, otherwise according to Xu Mu's guess, Ruan Yi and they would not go to the Night Army to fight hard just with their enthusiasm.

Coming back to his senses, Xu Mu felt that he only needed to choose some good hands for Ruan Yi and them, after all, only the generals above had some strength in the night army, and the ordinary soldiers below did not need to be taken seriously.

"Then this matter has the help of the city lord of Laoxu, and after the matter is completed, His Royal Highness can make the decision and send all the gold and silver artifacts obtained from the night army to the city lord as a reward. ”

"Being able to serve His Royal Highness, Xu is already content, His Highness doesn't have to be so polite to Xu," Seeing that Ruan Yi said so seriously, Xu Mu immediately resigned with righteousness. Speaking of which, Xu Mu's willingness to help Ruan Yi in private is already the maximum he can do, and now that the night army is on his way to Fancheng, Xu Mu never wants to have anything to do with Ruan Yi and the others on the surface.

If he accepted Ruan Yi's thank you afterwards, it would undoubtedly prove that he had colluded with the people who attacked the night army. As soon as the night kingdom army arrives, their wine city will definitely encounter great difficulties, and Xu Mu doesn't want to see such a thing happen.

"No matter what, Lord Xu Cheng is so dedicated to helping, His Royal Highness is grateful, in the future, Xu Cheng will mainly need to use His Highness, His Royal Highness should do his best, and he will not give up," Ruan Yi was too young after all, and thought that Xu Mu was really loyal, but he didn't expect that although Xu Mu said it well, he actually had ulterior motives.

And the few people who came with Ruan Yi were not much stronger than Ruan Yi, and they didn't even think about what kind of thoughts Xu Mu had after learning that they were going to attack the Night Army, but like Ruan Yi, they all felt that Xu Mu was happy to help them.

"Your Highness, let's take a look at the map first," it happened that at this time, the subordinate sent the map, and Xu Mu took the opportunity to change the topic. Then, after Ruan Yi agreed, Xu Mu directly ordered the two subordinates to unfold the map, and then pointed out a few places suitable for ambushing the night army to several people one by one.

Due to the slow march of the Night Army and the large number of people, it was very easy for Xu Mu to find a few suitable places to ambush the Night Army. Now every time he points to a location, Xu Mu will also explain the topographical characteristics of that location to Ruan Yi and the others in detail, so that Ruan Yi and the others can understand it better.

At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong and the others were still on their way, the sky was getting darker and darker, and there were more and more people worried about the weather, but no one had ever thought that someone would attack them.

At noon the next day, the army finally arrived in Exile. After worrying about the weather all night, as soon as he entered Liucheng, Yan Nantian ordered people to buy rain-proof cloth in the city.

There were not many shops in Liucheng, so they couldn't buy enough supplies, so in the end, with the help of the lord of Liucheng, the two sides sent people to every house to find them, and even demolished the carports of some carriages, and finally barely managed to get together the items that could protect the grain carts from rain.

After buying the things they needed, the army did not stop in Liucheng, because it didn't seem to rain in a short period of time seeing the weather, so Yan Nantian wanted to hurry as soon as possible, so as not to delay the trip.

If you have been waiting for the rain in Liucheng, and then wait until the road can transport grain after the rain stops, I don't know when it will take, so Yan Nantian would rather be drenched in the rain on the way than stay in Liucheng for more. In addition, if it doesn't rain for a few days, then what Yan Nantian is waiting for in the end is probably Zhao Xu's blame, so Yan Nantian can't wait.

After leaving Exile, the convoy traveled more quickly. The weather was still the same as yesterday, from morning to night, the sky became more and more gloomy, and when it still didn't rain in the evening, Yan Nantian ordered to camp on the spot.

It was early winter, the weather was a little cold, and many soldiers had thickened their clothes at night, but Lin Xuanzhong, who needed to calm down, was still wearing thin clothes. Standing in the night wind, the slightest coldness continued to invade, the sky was gloomy and bleak, and a waning moon appeared and disappeared from time to time. At this time last year, it seemed to be similarly adrift.

A wisp of melancholy arose, and when he couldn't express his emotions, Lin Xuanzhong practiced swordsmanship alone under the night sky. In the past half a month, under Zhang Jiutian's continuous sparring, Lin Xuanzhong's level of swordsmanship has improved greatly, but in terms of body style, there is no difference from when he left Windless City, and it seems that he has risen to the limit.

While practicing swordsmanship, while thinking about Ling Ziyu, for a moment, it has been almost two months since the two of them separated, time has passed too fast, and now thinking of Ling Ziyu, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly felt like Ling Ziyu was still by his side yesterday.

The faster the sword style changed, the more eager Lin Xuanzhong was to miss Ling Ziyu. I haven't seen him for many days, I don't know how Ling Ziyu is doing now, and with his thoughts in his heart, Lin Xuanzhong plans to wait for the war in Yiguo to end as soon as he returns to Windless City.

Not long after, Lin Xuanzhong, who was tired from training, returned to the camp tent to rest, and the feeling of not having the wind blowing was indeed much better, but it was a pity that many soldiers outside could only curl up in the wind and sleep. The war not only made many dead people unable to rest in peace, but also made many living people suffer, which is the most personal experience of Lin Xuanzhong, who is now lying on the bed.

For a long time, Lin Xuanzhong, like many soldiers, still didn't understand why they joined this war, maybe the reason was really just to survive.

Lying on the bed and thinking for a long time, Lin Xuanzhong fell asleep, there was nothing to do all night, and the next morning, it was the busy sound of soldiers outside that woke Lin Xuanzhong up. After getting up and washing up briefly, Lin Xuanzhong got dressed and went to meet with Yan Nantian and the others to see if Yan Nantian had any new instructions to convey.

The weather was extremely bad in the morning, and it was gloomy, and it was likely to rain today, but of course the convoy had to continue on its way before the rain fell.

Early in the morning, the cool breeze blew even more cold, and each soldier wrapped himself tightly, because everyone knew that it was never a good thing to catch the wind chill during the march, so although they had a better constitution than ordinary people, they were willing to wear a little more.

After seeing Yan Nantian, when Lin Xuanzhong came back for breakfast, there were figures walking around the barracks, which can be said to be the most energetic time of the day. Those soldiers were eating and talking, and they all had a little smile on their faces, which made Lin Xuanzhong's mood much better.

Early in the morning, Lin Xuanzhong patrolled the entire camp and watched the movements of many soldiers. I have to say that the spirit of the night army is excellent, and after walking through the entire barracks, Lin Xuanzhong didn't see anyone with sad faces or heavy worries, as if everyone was full of confidence in the future, and more importantly, among so many soldiers, most of them were recruits recruited from the Snow Country before.

Now it seems that those recruits have fully adapted to the new living environment and get along well with the original veterans, which is something that every general should be happy about in Lin Xuanzhong's opinion. It can also be seen that all the efforts made by the Night Country in the Snow Country have not been in vain, and Lin Xuanzhong admires the ability of Youxiang and Zhao Xu even more.

Now the situation in the barracks is much better than Lin Xuanzhong imagined, and some of Lin Xuanzhong's worries about those soldiers have disappeared because of this. After breakfast, they set off again, and the soldiers were alive and well, and no one complained that the time was too early.

On the other side, like Lin Xuanzhong, who was busy marching, the main force of the night army was also on the march at this moment. In this expedition, Zhao Xu only left Fang Quyin as the main general to guard the Snow Country, and Zhang Daring and Li Jianran were both among the main forces.

The 150,000-strong army is mighty, and after many wars, even if there are a large number of new troops mixed in it, the appearance of the night army is far from being comparable to the ordinary army of hundreds of thousands, because the night army has the prestige cultivated by successive victories.
