Chapter 832: Post-War Matters

Now that the whereabouts of the Gu country's army have been exposed, it is not surprising that the Yang Kingdom will launch an all-out attack on them. Thinking about it this way, how short tonight's victory was, although it was not easy to come by, it did not make Lin Xuanzhong truly happy. After thinking about it, in the end, Lin Xuanzhong only hoped that there would be no problems in the rear army. Otherwise, the current situation of the previous army will not be able to withstand the second attack at all.

In the camp, all the generals who knew about the casualties like Lin Xuanzhong were silent, tonight's victory was indeed hard-won, but some people also thought that now was not the time for them to be happy about it. If the local forces were to launch a second or third attack, the outcome of their operations would not seem to have changed.

While Lin Xuanzhong and the others would continue to consider the problems in the army, at Qiufengpo, the rear army that had been divided into two roads had stopped before entering the ambush circle of the Gu army, because the secret agents they sent out lived up to expectations and found the traces of the enemy army.

When those spies quietly touched the back of the Gu army, the Gu army lurking on the hillside and the mountain remained motionless, and it was not until the spies touched the back of some Gu army that they found that there were people on the hillside. When they looked closely, the entire hillside was densely covered with black shadows, so much so that the spies who discovered the situation at that time were half frightened to death.

When the two spies finally brought back the news, rockets were fired from the 10,000 lightly armed night soldiers and fired at the valley army on the hillside. At the same time, some of the valley troops on the hillside screamed to alert others to the presence of a group of suspicious people behind them. When those rockets flew over, the generals of the Gu army reminded the soldiers to take precautions and the personnel to fight back.

Although the reaction of the Gu army was slower, because of the large number of people, there were casualties after a round of shooting. Without knowing how many enemy troops there were, the 10,000 night troops did not dare to fight and immediately withdrew.

Not long after, the high-level of the Gu Army received the exposure of their whereabouts, and saw that the main force of the Night Army was retreating, and the high-level of the Gu Army directly ordered the pursuit.

It's a pity that the night army is only busy retreating, and has no intention of fighting them, and because it is not far from the camp, after the two night armies are combined, the top of the Gu army saw that the time was out of time and immediately ordered to collect the troops, otherwise if they chase down, they can only attack the night army camp.

There were 60,000 elite soldiers in the night army camp, and so many ordnance, although they had 100,000 troops, they did not dare to take risks when the night army was on guard. When they had no choice but to withdraw their troops, the top brass of the Gu army only hoped that the Sword City and the people who sealed the city had wiped out all the former troops, so that the two of them could deal with the elite of the 60,000 Night Army with peace of mind.

It's just that Jian Lingshuang and the others, who fled before, seemed to face the generals of the Gu Army speechlessly, and did not directly tell the Gu Army the news of their failure in action. After retreating to a safe area, they were also waiting for news from the Gu Army. Calculating the time, if the Gu army succeeded in ambushing the night army, their plan tonight would not be considered a failure. If the Gu army eliminated the main force of the night army, then it would naturally not be a problem for the two sides to clean up the front army of the night army together, because the two sides had similar ideas, and the Gu army lost the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to attack the front army's camp.

When the personnel of both sides met again, their actions all ended in failure tonight. At that time, the Gu army had dispersed and retreated to the place where the troops were originally stationed, and it was impossible to assemble in time, let alone run more than ten miles over the mountains and mountains to deal with the unhealthy front army. On the other side, when the Gu army retreated, Fang Quyin had sent someone to quietly keep an eye on the movements of the Gu army, if the Gu army turned around and attacked the front army, Fang Quyin would get the news in time.

Not long after the Gu army retreated, Chang Siyuan single-handedly rushed directly to the front of the rear army, which attracted a lot of attention. When Chang Siyuan stopped, the general in front of the battle recognized Chang Siyuan, explained the reason, and immediately let him in.

After meeting with Chang Siyuan, Fang Quyin learned that the front army had been attacked and the crisis had been resolved, and while reassured, Fang Quyin was a little worried that the Gu army would turn around and attack the night army, so he sent troops to the front army camp again.

While marching, while paying attention to the movements of the Gu army, after the Gu army exposed its traces, so many people crossed the mountains and mountains in the dark night, and naturally they could not hide their whereabouts, and their every move was under the observation of the night army's secret agents. After confirming that the Gu army would not kill the horse pistol again, Fang Quyin asked the 30,000 soldiers to continue to rush to the camp of the front army. At the same time, Fang Quyin ordered the remaining soldiers to pull out the camp overnight, taking advantage of the fact that the Gu army was scattered and retreated, Fang Quyin planned to march overnight to join Lin Xuanzhong as soon as possible, so as not to cause changes later.

In the blink of an eye, another half an hour passed, and Chang Siyuan, who came back immediately according to Lin Xuanzhong's orders, had already told Lin Xuanzhong about the early discovery of the ambush by the rear army and the fact that the troops were coming.

Because of the large number of enemy troops, Fang Quyin also specially told Lin Xuanzhong to be careful not to be attacked by the enemy again. Fang Quyin's special explanation made the night army generals who had just relaxed for the rear army to be nervous one by one, if those Gu troops turned around and killed them, it would definitely be difficult to resist with the current situation in the army, so one by one they could no longer be happy about winning the local forces, but were very worried.

Before Chang Siyuan came back, Lin Xuanzhong had already rested for half an hour, and after getting the news that Chang Siyuan brought back, Lin Xuanzhong immediately sent spies to a farther place to investigate the situation to prevent the Gu army from killing them unprepared, and then asked the generals to seize the time to rest and prepare for another fight.

There were too many wounded soldiers in the army to even evacuate, and now Lin Xuanzhong only hoped that there would be no bad luck.

After appeasing the generals below, Lin Xuanzhong, who had originally changed into clean clothes, put on his military armor again and showed a bit of the momentum of the main general.

Due to some uncertain factors, tonight has become very difficult, and the atmosphere in the military tent has become more and more tense, and everyone has a strong sense of crisis. Even with Lin Xuanzhong here, some people were still worried.

Outside the tent, the seriously wounded soldiers lay in other tents, the lightly wounded remained in tents and outside, and the unwounded stood guard around the camp to prevent any further enemy attack. The night was too long, and the unknown wait was too exhausting, and even Wu Xiu would feel tired under psychological pressure, so some people who were extremely sleepy had already fallen asleep deeply.

Affected by the tense atmosphere in the camp for a long time, Lin Xuanzhong felt more and more unable to stay. After leaving the military case, Lin Xuanzhong took some people who were in good condition to inspect the situation outside.

There are two places outside the camp where corpses are piled up, and they are piled up one by one, and ordinary people will be scared half to death when they see it, but Lin Xuanzhong is used to this, and he just sighs at the passing of his life. Those enemy personnel are to blame for the corpse wilderness, and they do not deserve sympathy. Counting up, tonight's First World War lockdown and Sword City lost more people than the Night Army, but the impact on the two cities may not be great.

The people who were blowing coldly in the evening breeze became more and more sober, and in the thick smell of blood, the sound of some people retching was heard from time to time. After walking outside the cordon, Lin Xuanzhong led the people to continue to the north. At this time, Lin Xuanzhong thought clearly that it was unlikely that the Gu army would come from the mountains, and they would only take the main road, that is, the road they had marched before.

If the Gu army came from the main road, Fang Quyin's people would definitely find out as soon as possible, and they would also attack the Gu army from the rear. In this way, it would be difficult for the Gu army to attack them. It's a pity that after cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Xuanzhong also found that the front army no longer had the ability to support the rear army, and those soldiers looked tired one by one, and it seemed impossible to travel far, and Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to embarrass them.

After walking a little further, the air around me no longer smelled of blood, and it finally smelled calming.

"Drive," just as Lin Xuanzhong was thinking about whether to continue walking, a general dressed as a horse rode over, noticed the presence of several people, and when he got closer, the person directly slowed down.

"Huh......" Soon the man on the horse pulled the reins, jumped down and bowed directly to Lin Xuanzhong, "See General Lin," and raised his head directly after speaking.

"General Wu, why did you come here alone?" After a closer look, Lin Xuanzhong, the general in front of him, still knew him.

"General Fang sent 30,000 reinforcements to the camp of the front army, and at this moment he has traveled to a place five miles away from here, and the last general specially came to inform him in advance. ”

"Has the Gu army retreated far away?"

"General Fang has sent someone to track the whereabouts of the Gu army, and for the time being, the Gu army does not have a tendency to turn back, so General Fang plans to march overnight to join forces with the general. ”

"Will the rear army pull out the camp tonight?" Listening to General Wu's meaning, a glimmer of light slowly appeared in Lin Xuanzhong's eyes.

"En," General Wu nodded in affirmation of Lin Xuanzhong's question.

"Okay, in that case, Ben will wait here for reinforcements to come," if Fang Quyin could come overnight without being attacked by the Gu army, it would be beneficial to both of them. Now that the 30,000 reinforcements in front of him were about to arrive, Lin Xuanzhong's hanging heart could finally be put down, and even his breathing became smoother.

After a while, General Wu returned to the team, and Lin Xuanzhong returned to the camp with a few people next to him, telling the generals the good news he had just received, so that those people could relax, after all, being tense would make anyone feel tired.

After a quarter of an hour, the smell of blood around the camp was blown away by the wind, and it was no longer very uncomfortable. The 30,000 vanguard troops had arrived and were stationed a hundred meters away from the former camp. After meeting with the general who led the troops, Lin Xuanzhong directly informed his soldiers to rest at ease, and they were safe tonight. Gu Jun didn't come earlier, and Gu Jun won't come next.

Calculating the time, Fang Quyin only had 30,000 soldiers there to pull out the camp overnight, but there were many inconveniences, and he couldn't rush here in a few hours, and after sending someone to follow up the situation, Lin Xuanzhong officially returned to the big tent to rest. Since Jian Lingshuang and the others were defeated and fled before, they have not been able to rest well until now, and now that all the generals have returned to their camps to rest, Lin Xuanzhong also wants to sleep for a while.
