Chapter 209

I didn't expect things to be so complicated, I originally thought it was safe to stay in the barracks, but now I don't regret talking about this situation, Lin Xuanzhong, who doesn't want to be chased and killed anymore, is really worried.

As he spoke, three drums were heard outside, followed by the march of the army. Countless soldiers in armor marched in a neat line with spears and neat formations.

The sound of the soldiers marching was loud, and the heartbeats of the three of them rose and fell with the sounds, until the sound died down completely.

"Brother Ming, is there any way to ensure our safety?" After talking to Ming Buregret, Lin Xuanzhong gradually understood the situation of the three of them, and he was not in the mood to rest, and he wanted to ask all the questions clearly.

Originally, I didn't regret that I was in no mood to talk about these things, but I was really idle, so now I had to take this to pass the time.

In the tent, the three of them discussed the situation without stopping, while the army outside continued to move forward.

It had been spies from ten miles away who had brought back the news of the enemy's attack, and then it took the officers a quarter of an hour for the whole group to advance some distance further. You can't always put the battlefield at your doorstep, so the commander of the army is leading the army over to meet it at this moment.

After some time, the two armies met, and intuitively it seemed that the opponent's lineup was no worse than that of the camp.

The enemy was none other than the army of the Snow Country, and yesterday the army of the Snow Country had arrived at a position fifty miles from the camp and set up camp there.

After a full day of rest, the generals of the Snow Army decided to move their troops this evening to give the camp a surprise attack and take the camp by surprise. It's just that the army of Snow Country didn't expect that the Night Country army they were about to attack would be so efficient from sending back the news to preparing for battle after discovering that they were marching. As they continued on for several miles, a queue had stopped them neatly.

The two armies faced each other, and the generals of both sides were eyeing each other, although they could see each other's faces clearly in the night. On the side of the Night Nation army, the one in the middle riding a crossbow horse is significantly more than the others' mounts, the Divine Steed. Sitting on top of the crossbow horse was a big man in armor, with a tiger's back and a majestic face.

Although he was sitting there, his momentum was not inferior to that of the brightly dressed generals on the left and right, this person was none other than Zhao Xu, the chief general of the Night Country Army, a real seventh-order martial cultivator.

Those on the left and right who were dressed similarly to Zhao Xu, one by one, with their heads held high and majestic, looked at each other's camp with Zhao Xu, they were all generals of the Night Army.

In front of the rows of neat soldiers, the commander that the three of them had seen during the day was impressively among them, and each team of thousands was led by a commander. Without exception, every commander has the strength of the sixth order of the martial realm.

Regarding the enemy army, the only thing that is clear to Zhao Xu, the main general of the Night Country, is that the number of enemy troops is about the same as the people brought by his own side, so it is difficult to say whether the final victory or defeat will be known.

Unexpectedly, the Snow Country of the Great Nation of Qingyuan would mobilize troops against the Night Country in just a few days, as the main general guarding the eastern border of the Night Country, Zhao Xu understood what it meant for the Snow Country to march on them.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't received the order from above and knew the approximate number of the Snow Army, Zhao Xu might have directly chosen to withdraw after receiving the news that the Snow Army was coming. It is impossible for the Snow Country to send only tens of thousands of people to attack their Night Country, Zhao Xu and many of the generals in the camp believe that there are still a large number of Snow Army on the way to the army, and the Snow Army that came to attack the camp today is only the vanguard of the Snow Country.

Now that the two armies are facing each other, Zhao Xu plans to see the strength of the Snow Country army after making sure that the news about the number of snow troops brought back by the spies is correct. As long as the real Snow Country army will not come tonight, Zhao Xu is confident that he will compete with the Snow Army.

At the same time, on the side of the Snow Country army, all the sergeants were also stubborn, and a cadre of generals was located opposite the night country general, and there were more than the night army's side, and their momentum was cold and abnormal.

Behind those generals were all cavalrymen on horses, sitting on tall horses one by one, with a cold momentum with the generals.

Since ancient times, cavalry is the elite of all arms, specially responsible for rushing and killing, with strong and fast as the main characteristics, and is specifically responsible for disrupting the enemy's formation and hitting the enemy's morale on the battlefield, and the standard vanguard force.

Judging from the camps lined up outside, Snow Country dispatched thousands of cavalry this time, which is an unusually large number. Those cavalry were Zhao Xu's most feared troops, although there were also many cavalry in their night army, but Zhao Xu still couldn't be too relieved about the enemy troops who came prepared.

It was now late at night, and both sides coincidentally did not arrange archers. As a special type of troops, archers will always have a miraculous effect at critical moments, but now if the two armies clash, their bows and arrows will also shoot their own people, so both sides simply don't use archers.

"General Zhao, my Snow Country is just acting on orders, if you take the initiative to surrender, Hong Mou and I, as the vanguard of the three armies of the Snow Country, will definitely not embarrass you. Judging from the words, the vanguard general of the other party still knows Zhao Xu.

"Needless to say, I, Zhao, as the chief general of the border army in the eastern fortress of the Night Country, have not received the order of the monarch yet, and will not surrender to you. Zhao Xu's words and deeds also show that he knows each other. In fact, both of them are border army generals, responsible for guarding the border between the two countries, and they have been in contact before, so they naturally know each other.

"If your Night Country does not surrender to the Qingyuan Great Power, sooner or later it will be invaded and annexed by the Luo Tian Great Power, and it is not the same as being incorporated into any Great Power, why do you still have to resist?" The pioneer general of the Snow Country obviously felt that Zhao Xu's approach was wrong, and immediately persuaded him: "After your monarch figures it out, you still have to surrender to one of the countries, so what's the point of even if you die on the battlefield now." ”

If you can take the fortress of the Night Country without blood, and then break through the pass, it will be very beneficial for the Snow Country, and General Hong wants to convince Zhao Xu. In the final analysis, their Snow Country's dispatch of troops this time is just to obey the orders of the Qingyuan Powers, and if they can reduce the casualties of the Snow Country itself, it will naturally be beneficial and harmless to the Snow Country.

"General Hong, I, Zhao, am a minister, and I should serve the country. If you Snow Country insists on attacking our Night Country, I Zhao will accompany you, so why do you come to surrender. "In fact, when the spies found out the news about the stationing of the Snow Country army yesterday, General Zhao used the method of flying birds to spread the news to the capital and the rear city pass as soon as possible.

It stands to reason that the Imperial Family of the Night Kingdom should give a reply in a timely manner for such important news, so that General Zhao can command the army according to the will of the Imperial Family, but no reply has been received from Kyoto today. And the news from Chengguan was to ask Zhao Xu to wait for news from the royal family, so that Zhao Xu could only hold the fortress according to his original mission.

Of course, even if Zhao Xu has his own mission, General Hong's words still have some truth for Zhao Xu. In fact, the geographical location of Snow Country and Night Country is very awkward, if you look at the border of the two major countries of Qingyuan and Luo Tian, Night Country and Snow Country are in the middle of their border area. It is conceivable that if the two great powers encroach on the surrounding small countries in the same way, then the final battlefield may be where the two countries are.

After the end of the battle, there is a good chance that the two countries will cease to exist, and it is with this in mind that the Snow Country Monarch will surrender to the Qingyuan Great Power in time, as long as the battlefield is led westward, maybe their country can avoid being destroyed by the war.

The Night Kingdom did not say which big country it was going to surrender to now, which caused the situation that General Zhao was not advancing and retreating on the side of the fortress. Just as General Na Hong said, Zhao Xu also felt that sooner or later, their Night Kingdom would have to return to a country between the two great powers of Qingyuan and Luo Tian. If it is a big country in Qingyuan, then the war with the Snow Country, whether won or not, everything will become meaningless.

If it was the Luo Tian Great Power that surrendered, then their resistance was of some significance, so the key now was that Zhao Xu didn't know the mind of their monarch at all, and even Zhao Xu didn't have a clear idea, how stable their military spirit was.

On the other hand, for the generals of the Snow Country, it is best for the Night Country not to fight, and if there is a war, then they only need to try their best to advance the line to the west. Conquering the Night Country is the mission given to them by the Qingyuan Great Power, and it will be a credit if it is done well. At that time, no matter whether the Snow Country will be destroyed by the war or not, as long as the Qingyuan Power wins in the end, the Snow Country royal family will definitely get the corresponding seal, so the Snow Country has a clear purpose in terms of marching.

"Battle," seeing that Zhao Xuning would not surrender, General Hong had no choice but to give up the method of lobbying, and wanted to capture the fortress by storming, and then go to attack the city.

"Knock knock knock......" The war drums of Snow Country beat.

"Kill," shouted the generals, and then rode their horses forward. Those generals took the lead, and the cavalry behind followed as soon as possible. Behind the thousands of cavalry were countless infantry.

On the side of the Night Kingdom, General Zhao immediately made up his mind.

"Fight," shouted, and when the war drums of the Snow Country kept coming, the war drums of the Night Country beat even more vigorously.

"Kill," shouted to kill, and the army of the Night Kingdom rushed out in unison.

Not long after, with the first sound of weapon strike, the two armies were fighting. In the white moonlight, the leather armor worn by the Snow Country soldiers glowed with cold light, while the armor of the Night Country army was dull and colorless, and the dress of the two sergeants was obviously different, so that no one had to worry about killing their own people by mistake.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of the impact of weapons and the screams of those soldiers before death were mixed together, rendering the night extremely poignant, but fortunately, the cruel pictures in the night were much more euphemistic, only the smell of blood in the air became stronger.

At first, the collision between the cavalry of the two sides was too intense, and the horses rushed to the opposing camp without their lives, easily colliding with the oncoming crossbows. Bone fragments kept coming, and the cavalry sitting on the crossbow horses had not yet fought the other party, and they themselves had already flown straight out.
