Chapter 232

And this passage had a big impact on Lin Xuanzhong, could he really join the army, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, but he couldn't get an answer. It seems that as long as it concerns oneself, everything will become uncertain. For a while, Lin Xuanzhong didn't know how to reply to Ming without regrets.

Qingyi on the side waited quietly, in his opinion, Lin Xuanzhong must be able to think more thoroughly in this regard, so there is no need to interfere with Lin Xuanzhong's decision.

"Are you talking?" For Ming Buregret, now may be a critical moment, and Ming Buregret seems very impatient.

A urging woke Lin Xuanzhong up from his thoughts, but Lin Xuanzhong had no idea. "Let's wait until Qingyi's joining the army is over," In desperation, Lin Xuanzhong could only delay this in advance.

And what is really strange is that Ming Buregret did not have the slightest doubt about Lin Xuanzhong's perfunctory answer, but felt that Lin Xuanzhong did this very reasonably, in Ming Buregret's opinion, these things really need to be done step by step, and you can't be in a hurry.

Inadvertently, Lin Xuanzhong's image was a little taller in the eyes of Ming Buregret. That kind of reverent gaze gradually reflected, and Lin Xuanzhong felt that the eyes in which Ming Buregret looked at him were very special, as if he had seen a similar gaze somewhere before.

didn't think much about it, turned his head awkwardly, and Lin Xuanzhong looked at Qing Yi.

"Qingfeng, let's wait for Brother Da Niu to come back, I think it's still early, it's better to rest for a while." "Qingyi's mind has been solved now, and the situation is much better than last night, especially after Lin Xuanzhong's analysis, those concerns and unclear aspects last night seem to have been clarified all of a sudden, and there is no need to think about it yourself, just think about it according to Lin Xuanzhong's words.

It may be that his thoughts changed too quickly, and he couldn't accept it so quickly in his subconscious, and Qing Yi thought about it so well to adjust his mentality.

And Ming Buregret saw Qing Yi return to the bed and lie down, Lin Xuanzhong seemed to be resting, and returned to his bed with some confusion and didn't speak, just kept thinking about the conversation between the three of them just now.

Lying on the bed, Lin Xuanzhong was restless, constantly thinking about the proposal he had just made, whether he wanted to accept it or not, or thinking about the advantages and disadvantages clearly. I don't know what's going on, although the results of the analysis are biased towards joining the army, Lin Xuanzhong is unwilling to accept this fact. There was always a feeling in my heart that I didn't want to see a few people separated.

After the three of them stopped talking, the big bull brothers outside had finished their whole team, and the border troops were lined up in several square pairs on the huge training ground, and everyone was standing in order.

In front of them, on a simple high platform erected, Zhao Xu stood proudly in a military uniform. The seven generals behind him stood side by side, and the positions were backwards in turn, highlighting Zhao Xu's position to the forefront, and like Zhao Xu, the seven generals were all dressed in military uniforms and masculine.

Soldiers, I would have gathered you here today. First, I want to apologize to my dead brothers in front of you, and it was the general's inability to let them die under the snow army's horses and arrows. Zhao Xu's voice was powerful and loud, but his face was extremely heavy.

At the mention of the dead brothers, the soldiers below felt a pang of grief.

"Now is not the time for us to grieve, the great enemy is coming, all the sergeants should be ready to participate in the battle at any time, go into battle with the general, kill the enemy, and avenge the dead brothers," Zhao Xu's voice became louder and louder, heavy and heavy*, like thunder that shook the hearts of countless soldiers.

As if stimulated, the many soldiers who were about to grieve turned serious one by one, and listened more and more seriously to their general's speech.

"The times have changed dramatically, the peace of the past will gradually leave us, away from the world, waiting for us will be endless wars, and the heavy responsibility of defending our homeland will naturally fall on us," Originally, in order to revitalize the morale of the army, it was not necessary to say this, but Zhao Xu listened to Zhao Wu's advice and passed on the new ideas, so that those soldiers could feel the changes in the situation in advance, and the bloody war was really going to start in the south.

Many of the soldiers below have already experienced two real battles, and they will not forget the picture of throwing their heads and spilling blood, cruelty is the sign of war. The situation has changed, and the war has come as a matter of course.

"Today, the enemy army will come to attack the city, no matter when the battle starts, this general hopes that all the soldiers will be ready to meet the battle, and go into battle with this general at any time to kill the enemy. Zhao Xu said loudly as he usually commanded.

"Yes," the sergeants below were encouraged and took the order.

"The archers are out of line," After the entire training ground was quiet, Zhao Xu directly gave an order.

Then, in the middle of the formation, a square group of people came out in a neat line, each carrying a longbow and a barrel of arrows with arrows.

"When the Snow Army attacks the city today, you will be the main force of the defenders," turning around, Zhao Xu looked at a general next to him and said: "General Li, these archers are all handed over to you to take away, and you will obey all the arrangements of the general at the city pass." ”

"Subordinates take orders," General Li, who was named by Zhao Xu, received the order to give a military salute immediately, and then walked down from the platform and walked to the front of the archers' phalanx.

"All the archers follow me," said General Lee, who was the first to turn and walk in the direction of the city gate, and the archers were ordered to line up and follow the army. A team of about two thousand people left in order, and the remaining sergeants all looked serious, waiting for Zhao Xu to give them orders.

"The soldiers of the cavalry and infantry battalions give you a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, everyone returns to the training ground with their weapons to regroup. ”

"Yes," led by the commanders in front of the phalanx, and all the sergeants commanded in unison. Then, under the leadership of those commanders, more than 20,000 people divided into several roads and left the training ground from several directions.

Time passed little by little, and it was noon in a blink of an eye, and the Snow Country army did not come, but it was not because their commander missed the appointment, but because the siege of the city usually had to wait until the evening.

First, letting the defenders wait for a day can consume the enemy's energy, and they can instead recuperate their energy before the siege, which is an advantage for the active side. Second, in the darkness of the city, it is more difficult for the siege soldiers to be injured by the archers in the city, which can improve the courage of the soldiers.

In addition, it is also beneficial to attack the city at night, even if their own side fails, it is difficult for the enemy army to know how much damage they have, so when they withdraw their troops, they do not have to worry that the enemy will open the city gate and send troops to pursue. The Snow Army has their plans, and the Night Army also has its own plans.

No matter when the snow army came, the three people in the house were already hungry at this moment, and they had no dry food, so they could only drink some water to satisfy their hunger, and the more they drank, the more hungry they became.

One of the disadvantages of doing martial arts cultivation is that when you are hungry, the feeling will be stronger than that of ordinary people, and as a result, the food problem highlights Lin Xuanzhong's analysis in the morning even more reasonable, if Da Niu and Da Hu are not here for a long time, they really have to let Da Niu prepare more dry food in advance.

But today, for example, when the big bull brothers will return, the three of them don't know.

"What should I do, I'm so hungry?" Ming Buregret's face was pale, but he was hungry and weak, probably because of the injuries on his body, so he couldn't stand it. Lin Xuanzhong and Qingyi are in good condition, and those who are not sick or injured can endure it for the time being.

The two of them knew that they would not regret it, but they were really too unfamiliar with the military camp, and they didn't know anyone else here, and if they went out to find food at random and were discovered by outsiders, they might be mistaken for deserters. In the end, even if they can explain clearly, they will still be in trouble, so it's best not to stay in the house.

"Brother Ming, you have been walking around the house, can you not be hungry? Why don't you sit down and rest, it will feel better." ”

"I know, but as soon as I stopped, I felt hungry, how could I stop?"

"There's some water left on the table, so why don't you drink it all, maybe drinking a little more water will make you feel better." ”

"Qingfeng, you know that water can't satisfy hunger, and the more you drink, the more hungry you get, and you still let me drink it, it's just uneasy and kind. Ming Buregret angrily accused Lin Xuanzhong, and that look seemed to really conclude that Lin Xuanzhong was uneasy and kind.

Lin Xuanzhong was a little weak-hearted, and he really felt that there was some truth in what Ming Wu said without regrets. It is true that I didn't drink much water in the morning, and I didn't think it had any effect, so I was still comfortable lying on the bed, Lin Xuanzhong thought with some emotion.

"Why haven't they come back?" Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong hadn't spoken for a long time, he had no choice but to change the subject.

"There is no movement outside at all, the Snow Country army must not have come over yet, it has not yet been fought, how can they come back, we still have to wait patiently." "There was no figure of the big bull brothers all morning, Lin Xuanzhong guessed that if the two sides didn't fight today, they would definitely not be able to come back.

Although it was just a guess, Lin Xuanzhong felt that he would not guess wrong.

"Well, what Qingfeng said is very reasonable," After this morning's incident, Ming Buregret attaches great importance to any views of Lin Xuanzhong, and now whatever Lin Xuanzhong says makes Ming Buregret feel very reasonable.

Qing Yi, who was lying on the other bed, had not spoken, and when he was hungry and didn't want to move, Qing Yi felt that it was very interesting to talk to Lin Xuanzhong, but he never meant to interject.

At the same time, in the Snow Country Army's garrison, in a big tent, Xu Tianyi and a group of generals were discussing the siege of the city. The first question now is to figure out how many defenders there are in the city and what their chances are of breaching the city. At the moment, there is no specific information on the question of the number of defenders.

"Less than 100,000" is the information sent back by the secret agent, but no one knows the specific number. After some discussion among the generals, according to various sources, they set the number of defenders at 80,000. Then the number of snow troops is twice the number of night troops.
