Chapter 551: Military Intelligence

"Originally, the old man wanted to entrust Ziyu to you after the position of head of the family was deposed by the House of Elders, but I didn't expect Ling Changsheng to be narrow-minded and not only deal with me, but also humiliate you. Now that you are reaping the consequences, but let the old man sit firmly in the position of the head of the family, let go of the things entrusted to you by Ziyu first," the Ling family master nodded, shook his head again, and finally just looked at Lin Xuanzhong with considerable appreciation.

"Master, what do you mean by entrusting Ziyu to Brother Lin?" Without waiting for Lin Xuanzhong to speak, Ni Youbin on the side couldn't help but interject.

"What do you think?" The Ling family master slanted his eyes and glanced at Ni Youbin meaningfully.

"Master, I don't think it's as good as this, Brother Lin is busy with cultivation and definitely doesn't have time to greet Ziyu. It's better for you to entrust Ziyu to me, I will definitely take good care of Ziyu and not let her suffer a little grievance," From the eyes of the Ling family master, Ni Youbin understood a lot of meanings, and at the same time had a certain idea in his heart.

"Senior, it's best to entrust Ziyu to me, although my Fang Qing's strength is not as good as Brother Lin's, and he is not as rich as Ni Youbin, but he must do his best for what you command, and I promise not to let your granddaughter suffer a little grievance. ”

Seeing that Ni Youbin took the first step to express his method, Fang Qing hurriedly followed behind and expressed the same meaning.

"You two stinky boys, even Zixin and Ziqing sisters can't settle down, and you still want to beat my granddaughter's idea, I advise you two to retreat as soon as possible, and use more dim sum in cultivation, and you won't even be able to get a wife in the future. The Ling family head shook his head and smiled, a little unbearable at Ni Youbin and Fang Qing's behavior.

At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong had a strange idea in his heart, he had already known that the head of the Ling family meant this, and maybe he shouldn't have made this move to help the head of the Ling family keep his position. Thinking of Ling Ziyu, Lin Xuanzhong had no intention of being humble with Fang Qing and Ni Youbin.

"Master, are you sincere and can't get along with us?" Seeing the head of the Ling family laughing at the two of them in front of Lin Xuanzhong, Ni Youbin was a little unhappy.

"Okay, I don't want to worry about the affairs of you juniors, now Ziyu you all know each other, as for what to do, you can decide for yourself, tomorrow the teacher will go to the forbidden land to guide you to practice, today you should rest early," said the Ling family master and slowly got up.

Seeing that the Ling family was leaving, the three of them hurriedly got up and sent the Ling family master outside the courtyard before coming back.

Back in Lin Xuanzhong's house, the three of them chatted about Ling Ziyu again, and then went back to rest. Next, a period of hard cultivation for the three of them began.

In a flash, it has been half a month since the main force of the Night Army was stationed in Beast Ridge Pass. In the past half a month, both sides have figured out their respective situations, the night army has 160,000, the wing army is currently only 60,000, but there are still 100,000 wing troops on the way to the beast ridge pass.

The 100,000 troops were all reinforcements requisitioned by Ruan Qiling to the royal family of Yiguo, half of which were drawn from the city defense forces of Yiguo, and half of them were new troops. The night army can't go unavenged for killing more than 200,000 people of the Wing Country, and Ruan Qiling can't go back with infamy, so Ruan Qiling has been planning to fight again.

Before the reinforcements arrived, Ruan Qiling had been discussing with the generals how to deal with the night army recently. The last beast attack plan was very successful, although it failed to hit the main force of the night army, but it gave Ruan Qiling and the generals a revelation, they actually don't have to confront the night army head-on, they can rely on external forces.

Now the camps of the two armies are more than fifty miles apart, and most of them are mountainous, the terrain is undulating, and there are many scattered mountains to block it.

Ten days ago, the day after the successful implementation of the beast attack plan, Ruan Qiling used the winged bird to send a message to invite ten famous beast trainers from the Winged Country. Three days later, the trainers arrived at the Winged Army garrison in a winged car.

When all the animal trainers arrived, Ruan Qiling and a group of animal trainers worked day and night to study the strategy of attacking the night army. There are countless fierce beasts in the Beast Ridge Pass, if it is used properly, maybe it can completely eliminate the night army with the help of the power of the beasts, although Ruan Qiling's idea is bold, it is not impossible to achieve it.

After discussing with a group of animal trainers for many days, Ruan Qiling's beast attack plan to destroy the main force of the Night Army, disrupt the layout of the Night Army, and prevent the fierce beasts from affecting the attack of the Wing Army, is taking shape little by little. Ruan Qiling's battle goal is very clear, and what is missing now is just a perfect plan.

For many days, those animal trainers have been frank with each other and have been competing to make proposals, but unfortunately no one has been able to put forward an idea that everyone else agrees with, which makes Ruan Qiling very anxious. Because the longer the time given to the Night Army, the more likely it is that the Night Army will be prepared for the unexpected.

When Ruan Qiling continued to urge a group of beast tamers to improve their plans, on the side of the night army, for half a month, Zhao Xu had been sending people to pay attention to the situation of the wing army, and he already had a certain understanding of the arrival of those beast tamers, but unfortunately, there were no beast tamers in the night army at present, and there seemed to be few such people in the snow country. Of course, the importance of the beast tamer for Zhao Xu to find out the intentions of the wing army is self-evident at the moment, so Zhao Xu has already ordered people to go around asking for it at any cost.

On the one hand, we should pay attention to the situation of the Wing Army, and on the other hand, we must also pay attention to the activities of the fierce beasts, the area of the Beast Ridge Pass is hundreds of miles away from the situation of the fierce beasts, and there are countless fierce beasts living around the barracks. After the last time those fierce beasts gathered together were dispersed, all kinds of fierce beasts were scattered in this area, and after the painful lesson of the last time, Zhao Xu naturally knew that the Wing Army was fully capable of gathering those fierce beasts together again.

In order to prevent the fierce beasts from attacking the camp, Zhao Xu not only increased the fortified area, but also sent sentinels to monitor the situation dozens of miles away at all times. As long as there is an abnormal movement of the nearby beasts, the information will be transmitted back to the camp as quickly as possible.

While expanding the scope of surveillance, Zhao Xu also ordered the people below to rush to make tools to deal with large beasts as soon as possible. Ballistae made of the finest materials were crafted, and the bolts were placed next to the ballistas, making it scary to look at.

The camp is also surrounded by a fence made of sharpened wood to prevent fierce beasts from approaching, but the armor made of wood is not very useful, so Zhao Xu recently ordered someone to build iron armor, but these are temporary moves.

A beast attack by the Wing Army caused the Night Army to consume too much extra energy, but after doing enough defensive work, the generals above still couldn't rest assured. The beast attack is no better than others, those fierce beasts are fierce, 100,000 people may not be able to block a thousand, and more importantly, the night army has not been able to confirm the plans of the wing army at present, so it is not enough to be prepared.

Since it was impossible to speculate on the plans of the Wing Army, many generals also proposed to send troops as soon as possible, taking advantage of the fact that the Wing Army reinforcements had not arrived and could not use the beast attack to attack the Wing Army camp, for which Zhao Xu also discussed with the generals several times.

The Wing Army came to the Snow Country from the Wing Country, and it could retreat to garrison troops everywhere, which naturally meant that there was a way to march, but there were several dangerous places to set up ambushes in this fifty-mile section, and the terrain was more favorable to the Wing Army, so Zhao Xu did not agree to the proposal of some generals to send troops rashly, and even did not agree to the proposal to send tens of thousands of soldiers to the test. Now that martial law is imposed on all the troops, all soldiers are not allowed to discuss military affairs in private, let alone spread rumors and cause trouble in the army, so as to disturb the morale of the army.

Of course, martial law is also a temporary move, and before the wing army launches an attack, Zhao Xu must discuss with the generals how to deal with the various combat methods of the wing army. Unconsciously, Ruan Qiling was defeated from a subordinate and has become one of Zhao Xu's most difficult enemies at present.

The current situation seems to be even more difficult than the initial attack on Snow Country, after the attack on the previous army, the night army has fallen into a completely passive situation, and there are even generals who have proposed to retreat to the city pass.

Judging from the current situation, it is indeed a good way to retreat to the city pass, but it is necessary to return and not to retreat to the beast age pass, the beast ridge pass is too small to accommodate more than 100,000 troops. In some cities in the future, only the windless city is the most suitable to defend, but retreating to the windless city will do more harm than good, and Zhao Xu will not make such a decision unless it is absolutely necessary.

During the stalemate between the two armies in Beast Ridge Pass, Night Country has been trapped for more than half a month, and the materials in the city have been almost consumed. Without outside supplies, many of the city's citizens gradually lost confidence, especially when the coalition forces of the two countries deliberately created a momentum, and the people were panicked.

The situation in the city is getting more and more unfavorable, but Lan Ce, the monarch of the Night Country, is still full of confidence, as long as Zhao Wu is still outside, the situation will definitely have a chance to improve, Lan Ce has put all his hopes on Zhao Wu.

After discussing with the generals that day, Zhao Wu took 50,000 selected elites and quietly left the Night Country in a way that attacked the east and west, trekking through mountains and rivers, taking dangerous roads all the way, and finally left the Night Country without the two allied forces being aware of it, and successfully entered the territory of the Lai Kingdom.

According to the topographical map of Laiguo, Zhao Wu successfully brought the army to the vicinity of Kyoto in Laiguo. Along the way, the 50,000 night soldiers were all lightly armed, and when they left the territory of the Night Country, they lost all their horses, and only carried with them the remaining rations that they had previously stored with horses, only in this way could they avoid some important checkpoints and come all the way to Kyoto.

At this point, the night army had almost no rations, and the difficulties from afar were even more difficult than Zhao Wu had considered. Fortunately, on the way here, those fierce beasts in the barren mountains and mountains solved some food problems for them, and whenever he encountered a small village, Zhao Wu would also let the soldiers disguise themselves to grab food, everything was covert, so sometimes the traces were exposed, and it was inevitable to kill people.

Now, after many obstacles, Zhao Wu has done something almost impossible, and the night army has finally been able to station in a mountain field.

Before he got to Laidu, Zhao Wu had already sent a sentry to infiltrate the city in disguise and inquire about the situation in Laidu. When the army was stationed, Zhao Wu had already got the information he needed as soon as possible. After receiving the news of the Lai army commander's request for help, the monarch of the Lai Kingdom was happy that the alliance forces of the two countries could trap the Night Monarch in Fengyu City, and at the same time discussed with the ministers about sending reinforcements.
