Chapter 253

Unexpectedly, he had to go to the battlefield to fight in less than a day after joining the army, lying in bed, Lin Xuanzhong tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. It was as if going back to a few months ago, the night before the incident, when everything was difficult for Lin Xuanzhong, as if there was no hope.

Fortunately, Lin Wuwu was there that time, otherwise the Lin family would end up in the end, and it was not certain that after coming back to his senses, Lin Xuanzhong then thought that he could only rely on himself when he went to the battlefield tomorrow.

Now that the night army is strong and the snow army is out of power, the night army must be invincible, so Lin Xuanzhong doesn't need to worry about dying on the battlefield. Originally, with the advantage of physical strength, Lin Xuanzhong felt that it was unlikely that he would die on the battlefield, but now considering the situation of the two armies, Lin Xuanzhong was more assured.

It's a pity that despite this, Lin Xuanzhong still didn't feel sleepy while lying on the bed, and kept thinking about the next thing in his mind. On the other side, the big bull brothers were already snoring soundly, and after receiving the order to send troops tomorrow, the two brothers went to bed with the mentality of waiting for the second big victory, as if they did not have any superfluous thoughts about the war.

Unlike the two brothers, Lin Xuanzhong has been thinking about the reason why the three alliances want to attack the Lin family as he did in the ghost city, thinking about the current situation, after a period of pondering, the final result that Lin Xuanzhong got was driven by interests, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that the war between the Night Country and the Snow Country is not only a relationship of interests, but also other reasons.

The Snow Country is only working for the Qingyuan Nation, and the Night Country seems to be just defending against the Snow Country, and in the final analysis, Lin Xuanzhong really doesn't know the reason for the incident between the two countries.

In a blink of an eye, Lin Xuanzhong thought of what happened in the barracks today. Today, under the introduction of the Da Niu brothers, Lin Xuanzhong knows many people, not only from Huangyan City, but also from many other places. Among them, the newly transferred people, some of them have never participated in a real war, and they don't know what the war is like at all, which is similar to Lin Xuanzhong's situation, so Lin Xuanzhong finally found a sense of integration in the army.

Maybe together with them, we can find out the reason for the war, thinking this in his heart, Lin Xuanzhong began to think about other issues. One night, Lin Xuanzhong thought about many issues, and naturally made a lot of plans accordingly.

Early the next morning, a horn sounded, and Lin Xuanzhong woke up suddenly because of lack of rest. On the other side, the big bull brothers had already finished dressing, and greeted Lin Xuanzhong, and the two of them were waiting for Lin Xuanzhong in the house to get it ready.

Not long after, the three and the others hurried to the place where they were eating. When he got there, Lin Xuanzhong found that more than a dozen of those soldiers were gathered around a table, and there were more than a dozen things to eat on the table, because they were going to send troops after breakfast, and there was still a little meat on the table.

There was not much time, there was no leisure to savor, and after a quarter of an hour they left the dining hall, and countless soldiers rushed to the place where the troops were arranged, taking their weapons with them.

When the army is in formation, the battalion commanders will make speeches one after another to boost morale. Then, by the time Zhao Wu set the time for sending troops, the vanguard troops had already begun to leave the city.

When the night army went out of the city, it took a long time for tens of thousands of soldiers to leave the city. Outside the city, according to Zhao Wu's instructions, the infantry was in front and the archers were behind, and the cavalry would not set off until the front team arrived twenty miles from the Snow Army's garrison.

Postponing the departure of the cavalry was one of Zhao Wu's plans to attack the Snow Army, and it was not surprising that at this moment, the spies of the Snow Army had already discovered the news of the Night Army's departure from the city. Some of them hurried back to deliver the news, while others stayed behind to continue monitoring.

After the spies lurking around found out that the situation was not right, and the number of night soldiers was more than tens of thousands, a few more people went back to report the news, and finally there were still one or two people left in the snow army spies hiding around.

When the two of them lurked in the dense forest and continued to observe the situation of the night army, some spies in the night army came out of the line silently, and then carefully sneaked into the dense forest on both sides of the road, and carefully searched for the traces of the enemy spies in ten steps. According to Zhao Wu's instructions, once the enemy secret agent was discovered, he was killed on the spot.

The purpose of Zhao Wu's move was to ensure that their tens of thousands of cavalry could set off smoothly and not be discovered by the enemy's spies, and clearing the enemy's spies was also part of the plan.

The army of more than 100,000 marched in the form of jogging, and in another hour, they could reach the snow army garrison. Some of the spies of the Snow Army are riding fast horses, and in less than half an hour, the spies will be able to bring back the news about the Night Army's troops.

In the middle of the team, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't see the front of the team, and he couldn't see the back of the team, and there were all people around him. Each is stubborn and fully armed. Before sending troops, their commander had already said that their purpose this time was to destroy all enemy forces, not simply defeat the other side on the battlefield, so this battle may last for a long time, of course, it may end soon, the key is to see the performance of the soldiers on the battlefield.

During the march, time passed quickly, Lin Xuanzhong looked back from time to time to see if there was Qingyi in the rear, and sometimes looked at where Ming Buregret was, but unfortunately there was no cavalry to follow.

Half an hour later, at the Snow Army station, several spies hurriedly passed the news to their marshal, and General Yigan of the Snow Army and Xu Tianyi were in the big tent of the Chinese army at this moment. The number of night troops was only a few tens of thousands, and the generals were not too panicked. Only the joining army of the Qingyuan Great Power felt that the Snow Army was not suitable for combat now, so they proposed to withdraw the army on the spot.

In his opinion, now is not the time for the Snow Army to be strong, if it is defeated by the powerful Night Army, the Snow Army may suffer heavy casualties, so it is a good way to withdraw the army, but there is one point, the Snow Army's baggage cannot be ignored.

Walking with baggage will greatly slow down the marching speed of the whole army, and in addition, there is no time to sort out the baggage in a hurry, and you can't leave all the food in the camp to the enemy, so when considering why the night army has so many troops, Xu Tianyi is still thinking about whether to face the battle.

After Xu Tianyi raised many questions with some generals, the next step is to fight or flee, and it still depends on the opinions of those generals, so there are roughly two kinds of results in the current discussion.

The first is to confirm the authenticity of the spies sent back, if it is true, then withdraw the troops as soon as possible, and the second is to directly arrange the troops, and wait for the night army to come and fight head-on. Due to the disparity in numbers, some of the generals of the Snow Army still hoped to fight the Night Army again.

There was not much time, and he couldn't withstand the requirements of joining the army and some generals, so Xu Tianyi had to let people take charge of the retreat first, and then leave most of the generals to discuss major matters.

"Marshal, the Night Country has only sent tens of thousands of troops, why don't we fight back and be ashamed. Said one of the main battle generals.

"Yes, Marshal, the night army is unstable and demoralized to deceive our army, and wants to take advantage of the situation to destroy our army, why don't we take advantage of the situation to destroy our army, lead the enemy army deep into our army, and then outflank a turtle from an urn on both flanks, and catch them by surprise," Soon another general in the main battle gave a proposal.

"Marshal, you must not face the battle, our army's morale has just stabilized, if the forced war is frustrated by the morale of the night army, it is counterproductive, I am afraid that the army's heart will be in turmoil, and no one will be able to turn the situation back then. ”

"Marshal, what General Wu said makes sense, even if our army is held without fighting, it must not be easily dispatched, otherwise once it loses, our army will not even be able to keep the camp, and please consider it carefully. After the main battle gave a proposal to face the battle, the anti-war generals followed up with objections.

During the dialogue between the generals, Marshal Xu already had three views. Fighting, defending, and evacuating, each method has certain advantages and disadvantages, and the question now is to analyze as soon as possible which of the three methods has more advantages.

Time is pressing, and the people who know that the night army is marching quickly know that there is not much time left for them to discuss, which is the disadvantage of being in a passive position, many situations are controlled by the active side, and only the unfavorable situation is left for the passive side.

Marshal Xu didn't speak, but he had already analyzed the pros and cons of the three methods in his mind.

In battle, they have the advantage in numbers, but they lack a lot in morale. If the morale of the soldiers can be boosted before the battle, and the soldiers are aware of the dangers they will face and the hope of victory, after stabilizing the morale of the army, the snow army can win with a numerical advantage.

If it is guarded, although this is the camp of the Snow Army, there is no fortification like the city pass, if the night army cavalry rushes over, you can directly rush to the camp. Fortunately, luring the enemy into the depths is a ploy, so it is not necessarily a bad thing for the opponent's cavalry camp to really rush in.

If they retreat, they can leave some people in the rear to resist, and the others are responsible for escorting the baggage, once the night cavalry chases, they can drop the supplies at the critical moment, and the whole army joins the retreat. At that time, even if the cavalry of the Night Kingdom dared to chase after them, they would not be able to do anything with the strength of the cavalry of the Night Army.

Now Marshal Xu didn't have the idea of retreating from the army in consideration of his own face, but faced the night army like some generals in the main battle, and used strategy to complete a big victory to make up for the previous disadvantage of the siege. And as the general of the main battle side said, they have a numerical advantage, and now the snow army is still tens of thousands more than the other side.

Even if it hasn't returned to normal after a few days of rest, the morale is now enough to fight the night army, and if the troops are used properly, the snow army has a good chance of winning.

In Xu Tianyi's opinion, the night army stationed in Huangyan Pass has enough materials to consume, but his own long-distance travel has limited baggage, and now from the perspective of the materials in the battalion, it is not suitable for consumption with the night army, so it is best to take the city pass as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, it is best to face the battle, once you win and win Huangyan Pass, you don't have to worry about the problem of grain, grass and weapons. It can be said that if Xu Tianyi wants not to be punished by the Snow Country royal family, there is only one way to go.
