Chapter 871: High Platform Formation

By the time the new troops were separated and trained in several places according to the above arrangement, Lin Xuanzhong and Fang Quyin had already rushed to the border of Guguo with 80,000 soldiers, and it was already the end of April, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. The scorching summer is approaching, and Lin Xuanzhong plans to lead the army to the Imperial City of the Valley Kingdom within a month, so as not to affect the war due to weather problems.

On the other side, when Lin Xuanzhong and the others arrived at the border of the Gu Kingdom, another army that had already established close ties with Lin Xuanzhong and them also arrived at the border of the Gu Kingdom. Next, the two armies would march separately until they exchanged troops at Kyoto, Kyoto.

As soon as the two night armies arrived at the border, the Gu Huang received the news, but the 100,000 Gu troops that had been withdrawn from the Yang State had been sent to the western border, and now even if they knew the movements of the two night armies in the east, in the absence of other troops available, the Gu Huang and the ministers of the court were powerless.

When the Gu Emperor specially held a meeting for this purpose, after all the ministers said that the Gu Kingdom had no chance of winning, some ministers even suggested that the Gu Emperor negotiate peace with the Night Kingdom through an alliance, so as to avoid the destruction of the Gu Kingdom.

Speaking of which, the Gu Emperor and those ministers are very clear about the current situation, Yang Guo wants to form an alliance with the Night Country, the Night Country and several other countries have successfully allied, they have offended the Night Country before, and now the Gu Country can be beaten by the Lei Army in the west alone, if there are two more night armies in the east attacking, in the absence of reinforcements, the only thing waiting for the Gu Country is destruction.

After the meeting, Emperor Gu naturally went to the envoy of the Qingyuan Great Power for help, but the other party couldn't say anything accurately, and Emperor Gu and those ministers didn't know the bottom of their hearts. In short, because of the lessons of Yangguo, Emperor Gu categorically did not dare to be loyal to the Qingyuan power.

For several days, the Gu Emperor had been discussing with his ministers how to solve the current problem. In the past, the Night Kingdom was too weak, so at first they firmly believed that it was better to return to the Qingyuan Great Power than to form an alliance with the Night Kingdom, but a year later, the Night Kingdom grew infinitely, and when the Five Nations Alliance was officially completed, the Night Kingdom would be stronger than they imagined.

However, it was still difficult for them to suddenly change their original decision and thus form an alliance with the Night Kingdom, and the Valley Emperor and the ministers had been torn between waiting for reinforcements and forming an alliance with the Night Kingdom. Because the envoy of the Qingyuan Great Power promised to send reinforcements, but it is not possible to confirm when the reinforcements will arrive.

On the other hand, Emperor Gu Biyang knew the specific nature of the alliance, once he joined the alliance with the Night Country, with their current situation, there would be no room for bargaining, and Emperor Gu was also worried that his status would not be as good as that of other alliance lords. Giving up imperial power is one thing, and the status is difficult to protect on the other hand, in the matter of the alliance, Gu Huang has too much reluctance, as if it is difficult to let go of important interests, but the moment to decide the fate of Gu Guo has come, and Gu Huang knows that he must make a decision as soon as possible.

Putting aside some of the situation in Gu Country, after entering Gu Country, Lin Xuanzhong, who had been marching for many days, did not feel any pressure, they had three armies marching separately, and the current situation of Gu Country was absolutely irresistible, so after concluding that he could capture Gu Country in one fell swoop, Lin Xuanzhong simply handed over all military affairs in the new army to Zhang Jiutian in front of all the generals, and just found a place to practice every day.

Maybe because he was looking forward to going back, Lin Xuanzhong's enthusiasm for practicing was not very strong, but he could still do it.

After Lin Xuanzhong publicly handed over all military affairs to Zhang Jiutian, many people thought that Lin Xuanzhong would focus on cultivating Zhang Jiutian, and Zhang Jiutian would be the second-in-command in the army in the future. Some people were very happy about this matter; some people were too happy because they were too envious; and some people felt that Lin Xuanzhong had other hidden secrets because he didn't ask about military affairs. In any case, the current situation is still dominated by war, so in the end, everyone is busy adjusting their mentality and preparing for battle.

The marching for several days did not make the high-morale soldiers feel tired, and after a period of adjustment, when the army was officially sent to the valley country, more than 80,000 night troops were unstoppable. There were only a small number of city guards and personnel in the city in front of them, although they had already prepared to defend the city, but when the night army rushed over, even the largest border pass in the east of the valley country could not stop the night army.

With the assistance of large-scale siege equipment, the night army triumphed all the way, and captured seven cities in a row in less than ten days. Despite this, the speed at which the Night Army pulled out seven cities in a row was still too fast, unbelievably fast.

In fact, the night army can pull out several cities at such a fast speed and the condition of those cities themselves has a certain relationship, the local forces of the valley country are uneven, and there is little experience in dealing with the army, the night army only needs to bombard the city with a few siege vehicles, and the defenders will become demoralized, and then another round of strong charge, the barrier formed by the city wall is as if it does not exist, the night army is like a broken bamboo, and the more it fights, the smoother it is. Seven cities were captured in succession, and the loss of troops was less than 5,000, and the results were outstanding.

It is worth mentioning that during the war, Fang Quyin and Zhang Jiutian were in charge of all the affairs in the army, and Lin Xuanzhong just paid attention to it silently and did not make a contribution. Now that the army is far beyond expectations, when many people want to take Xingcheng while the iron is hot, Lin Xuanzhong finally came forward to veto the opinions of some generals to attack the city, and let the army garrison in a place thirty miles away from Xingcheng, waiting for Bai Shuilian to lead the troops to come and converge.

Lin Xuanzhong's words came out and no one questioned it, the army was stationed directly, during the garrison, materials were the last thing they needed to worry about, because after capturing seven cities in a row, their supplies were more sufficient than when they set off from Yangguo, and the morale of the army was even more stable, the only problem that Lin Xuanzhong couldn't let go of was during the attack on those seven cities, although Zhang Jiutian said that they would not kill those who surrendered, but because sometimes the other party resisted violently, it still led to some innocent civilians being implicated. In addition, the soldiers in the army also committed adultery and plunder, and some ordinary women were victimized because of this.

Soldiers have certain needs, which Lin Xuanzhong can understand, but the ignorance of military regulations makes Lin Xuanzhong intolerable. Even if all military affairs had been handed over to Zhang Jiutian and Fang Quyin to deal with, Lin Xuanzhong still couldn't stand this kind of thing. So, when the officers and men of the three armies were about to celebrate the achievement, Lin Xuanzhong decided to deal with this matter. Just like you used to deal with certain things, you have to make a difference, right or wrong.

On the evening of the garrison, when many soldiers were busy preparing food for the evening celebration, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly issued a military order to interrupt everyone's behavior.

Then, when some of the personnel were in charge of building the high platform that Lin Xuanzhong needed, the other soldiers all stopped what they were doing and lined up around the high platform with a puzzled expression. When noticing the high platform that was being built, many people naturally thought that Lin Xuanzhong had something big to announce, and according to their guess, it should not be a bad thing, because they have been winning battles recently.

However, for some generals, Lin Xuanzhong's abrupt military order still made them smell a trace of unusualness, and they all felt that something was going to happen, but because Lin Xuanzhong had stopped attending their meetings recently, they couldn't think of Lin Xuanzhong's intention to build a high platform.

"What does General Lin mean by letting us line up now? Could it be that you want to inform us to attack Xingcheng overnight?" On the way to the procession, some generals couldn't help but talk to their companions.

"No way, the general just said in the afternoon that he would reward the three armies tonight, and then wait for the other army to come and converge. ”

"Then what do you say the general chose to line up at this time?"

"Maybe it's a credit to me. ”

"It's possible. ”

"If we can get the general's praise, it is really a blessing for Sansheng, let's go faster, don't let the general wait in a hurry. ”

"Wait for me!"

......

There were similar discussions in many parts of the army, and after a brief discussion, many people felt that it must be a good thing for Lin Xuanzhong to suddenly let them line up.

After a while, the newly built platform was already surrounded by a neat queue of soldiers. Under the sunset, the straight columns looked particularly unique, with a grand beauty, and Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to affect the mood of the soldiers because of what he was going to say, but some mistakes had to be corrected.

"General Fang, why did General Lin ask us to come over and line up?" After all the generals arrived, some generals thought that Fang Quyin knew Lin Xuanzhong's purpose for letting them line up, so they specially asked, but unfortunately Fang Quyin also didn't know anything about the current situation.

"I don't know, you better wait for General Lin to say it himself," Shaking his head, Fang Quyin felt that Lin Xuanzhong's behavior of not asking about military affairs was very strange recently, because in the past, Lin Xuanzhong even got along well with the soldiers below, but now Lin Xuanzhong was no longer as approachable as before as if he was deliberately alienating everyone.

Because he didn't know why Lin Xuanzhong had such a big change, and because he felt that as long as Lin Xuanzhong's changes didn't affect the overall situation, he couldn't care about it, Fang Quyin, who had been busy with the war recently, didn't pay much attention to Lin Xuanzhong.

"The general is about to speak," failing to get an answer from Fang Quyin, the generals hurriedly focused their attention on Lin Xuanzhong on the high platform.

Under the sunset, in countless eyes, Lin Xuanzhong stood quietly on the high platform, wearing silver-white armor with a golden-red cloak, under the embellishment of the white hair of the shawl, Lin Xuanzhong's temperament was like a celestial, both the back and the front were protruding to the point of being amazing.

"Zhao San, Zhou Guang, Qi Yan ...... "It's dinner time, and the soldiers below still have a lot of military affairs to do, so Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to delay their time, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he called out the names of a few people related to the next thing, and then said when everyone was puzzled, "You all come up." ”

"Yes," Immediately after, the named personnel agreed one after another, and then walked towards the high platform with a smile on their faces, as if they all felt that Lin Xuanzhong wanted to reward them in public. Because not long ago, they also took the initiative to present Lin Xuanzhong with a young girl with outstanding appearance.
