Chapter 292

In order to avoid the dissatisfaction of other commanders because they could not serve as commanders-in-chief, Zhao Wu specially asked the commanders in the three battalions to have personnel who served as commanders-in-chief according to the terrain.

It is worth mentioning that because of the terrain, the strength of the arrow battalion has become a sweet spot for the infantry battalion and the cavalry battalion to compete for. If they can cooperate properly with the arrow battalion, the commanders of the cavalry battalion and the infantry battalion all understand that they will definitely be able to win the greatest battle feats with the least casualties, so when Zhao Wu talked about which positions are suitable for the ambush of the arrow battalion, the three main generals of the arrow battalion raised their heads one by one, and finally felt that they had a place for the arrow battalion.

Before the departure of the army, in order to avoid the news of the march being exposed, Zhao Wu also deliberately let several armies take remote paths, and if necessary, they had to trek through mountains and rivers. As for whether they would pass through some villages on the way, there was no need to think about it, if anyone really found out about their march, Zhao Wu knew that the people nearby would only think that they were going to occupy Xilan City.

By the time they left Xilan City, several armies had already separated, and after that, they could only do their best, and Zhao Wu could not ensure that the Snow Army would not find out about their division of troops.

Early this morning, the night army was all ready, after distributing the food that the soldiers needed for several days. With an order, the night army marched forward mightily, and Zhao Wu also moved forward with the army, but Zhao Wu's purpose was really only to occupy Xilan City.

Two days have passed, and presumably all the people in Xilan City who should have fled have fled, and those who have not fled may continue to stay in the city. Zhao Wu was to rush to the city with the wounded soldiers who had not been able to participate in the battle and the army's logisticians, and then stationed there.

Not long after the night army set out, it was not surprising that the news of the night army's large-scale march soon spread to Xilan City, and many of the citizens who remained in the city were terrified.

During the night army's march, the night kingdom royal family has received the news that the eastern army has broken through the Xilan Pass, and according to the night country's request to join the army, the night kingdom royal family is appointing the court ministers to take over the west orchid city, so that their night army can march to the west wind city more smoothly.

At the same time, in the western part of the Night Country, the army of the Night Country fought fiercely with the enemy army, although the results of the battle were not as good as the eastern army led by Zhao Wu, but the royal family of the Night Kingdom believed that as long as the news of their imminent attack on the Snow Country was transmitted there, the western army would be greatly encouraged, so there would be no problem with the military in the west.

While the royal family was happy with the news of the successive victories in the eastern war, they were also busy, and it can be said that the monarch of the Night Kingdom was much busier than Zhao Wu, not only thinking about the affairs of the army, but also preparing for the next conquest.

Troops, food, and weapons are all problems, and the Night Nation is currently recruiting troops all over the country. After many years of recuperation, the Night Country, which was still relatively strong, did not encounter any problems in recruiting troops in the early stages of the war.

After conscription, the equipment and training of recruits are all issues that the royal family needs to consider. Because of the war, prices in the Night Country have skyrocketed, and many people are gradually feeling the pressure to survive.

Recently, the Night Kingdom has recruited quite enough troops, but as the war progresses, more and more troops will be needed, so the Night Kingdom Imperial Family is also considering whether to recruit troops from the countries they conquer in the future, which is a way for them to steadily occupy those countries.

The war outside is hot, the royal family of the Night Country is busy, Zhao Wu's reputation in the Night Country is getting louder and louder, and their Zhao family's status in the country is naturally getting higher and higher. Originally, the Zhao family could only be regarded as a medium-sized family in the Imperial City of the Night Kingdom, but after Zhao Wulian made great contributions, which of the big and small families in the imperial city dared not to give face to the Zhao family, and even some royal relatives were currying favor with the Zhao family.

For those princes and princesses, it is of great benefit to be able to win over the Zhao family for their future struggle for power and profit, so the royal family can be described as busy.

Now that the war is raging, many small countries in the Northern Regions can no longer live in peace as before, whether they surrender to the big powers, or fight against other alliances like the Night Country, in short, every country is affected by the flames of war.

Unlike the Night Kingdom, which invades other countries through warfare, many major powers are currently rapidly occupying smaller neighboring countries through diplomacy. Although there was no war, the speed of annexing small countries was much faster than that of the Night Country.

However, those small countries are afraid of the might of the big countries, and they cannot unite together, and as a result, they can only be bullied by those big countries, and those small countries are now facing such a situation.

On the other hand, the use of troops transferred from the encroaching countries to attack countries that do not obey their will is the initial strategy of those great powers in the early stages of war. At the same time, their own armies have been trained, so that now they are fighting with small countries, and it can be said that those big countries are now increasing their own military strength while weakening the power of small countries, which will do no harm to them in their future conquest of the world.

Sadly, those small countries that have been controlled by the big powers, in order to avoid the death and injury of the generals of their own armies and to complete the mission entrusted to them by the big powers, can only fight with other countries, just like the Snow Country attacked the Night Country.

Unless there is a good commander, war can be a nightmare for some small states, and it is not difficult for the monarchs of those countries to imagine that once their armies are defeated or the country loses its army, their countries will no longer be subordinate to the great powers, but will be directly incorporated into the territory of the great powers.

It is not to fight, it is not to fight, and some small countries have completely become tools of the big countries to conduct wars. From this point of view, the way in which the Night Nation and several other countries form an alliance against the other countries is the best choice, and even if they fail in the end, they have at least resisted. In any case, the southern region of the Great Wilderness Northern Region is already full of war.

Corresponding to the war in the south, the situation in the north is also not calm, and the unexpected Dayou Duchy is moving troops against a number of small countries around it in order to strengthen its own strength.

On the other side, the borderless cities in the Northridge were busy fending off the beast tide because of the beast rebellion a few months ago, and countless hungry beasts were attacking the borderless cities in the Northridge area like a tide. And behind those borderless cities are the armies of the Grand Shadow Principality and other countries.

Now that the war has begun, many countries in the north also want to increase their strength by expanding their territory, and the north is also full of wars.

Because of the war in the north, the saddest thing now is the city that never sleeps, sandwiched between the north and the south, as one of the several major cities in the north, the city that never sleeps does not belong to any country and does not have any military strength, and has always been ruled by the three major families in the city.

Now that the war between the north and the south is raging, many shops inside and outside the city are worried that the situation will not be in their favor and withdraw from the city that never sleeps, which has had a huge impact on the economy of the city that never sleeps. And this is just the beginning for the city that never sleeps, once the black market and those large chambers of commerce withdraw from the city that never sleeps, then the economy of their city that never sleeps will collapse directly, and with the strength of their three major families, it is not enough to maintain the economic operation of the entire city.

At that time, not only will the prosperity of the city that never sleeps plummet, but the three major families will also be able to think that a large number of civilians in the city will evacuate and look for a place to shelter them. In addition, the city that never sleeps will be chaotic due to the movement of people. At that time, the people of their three major families will not even be able to take care of maintaining order, and how can they have time to maintain the economy of the city that never sleeps.

The current situation is that the three major families were unexpected, originally many families in the same city of the three major families were still preparing to make a war fortune, but only now did they understand that this war is no longer just a friction between some small countries as before, and it will stop after a period of time, and they did not expect that even the Principality of Great You and the Principality of Great Sword have participated in the war this time.

The war was fought so fiercely, for the three major families, the current situation was a catastrophe, and they had not yet reached the vicinity of the city that never sleeped, but they had already suffered from the ravages of war. However, there is no good response to these three families, they were helpless at the beginning, and now they are even more so, even if they want to join some countries, they can't do it.

After the people in the city evacuated in large numbers, all that could be left of the previously incomparably prosperous city that never sleeps was an empty shelf, and during the turbulent situation, when everything was developing in an unfavorable direction, those big families in the city that never sleeped, the big forces that had been ingrained in the city, and the families no longer had the same spirit as before. In particular, those who planned to flee no longer cared about the power of the three major families, causing a lot of chaos in the city.

The order of the city that never sleeps is getting worse and worse, and the members of the big and small families in the city no longer have the prestige they used to have when they walk in the city, and even those family forces with bad styles are still attacked by the people of the city. Some martial cultivators who had long been dissatisfied with the actions of those families, when they left the city that never sleeped, they destroyed those family shops.

Now that's just the beginning, as the war progresses, the situation in the city will only become more and more turbulent, the impact of the war on those families is too great, and they can't leave the city because of their own inheritance in the city, they can't just leave like those innocent martial cultivators. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to think of other places to put down roots, especially during war.

As news of the war continued to reach the city, the three families showed extraordinary unity, putting aside the conflicts they had accumulated over the years and constantly coming together to discuss how to deal with them. Because of the decrease in the number of people living in the city, the goods in the city that never sleeps are rapidly depreciating, which has caused too many economic losses to the major families.

Recently, the three major families have a lot of things to discuss and consider with the big and small families in the city, but they really have little hope of keeping the city that never sleeps, but the families don't want to leave the city that never sleeps easily, and then go to which country.
