Chapter 283

Although the movements of those soldiers were small, because of the large number of people, on the chariot, Zhao Wu saw the strangeness in the crowd at a glance, and it was not difficult to guess that someone had questioned his order, of course, this was all expected.

After yesterday's battle, the morale of the night army is getting more and more inflated, higher than when they came to attack Xilan Pass before, but excessive expansion will only make the soldiers proud and dissatisfied, although they have not seen the word "proud soldiers will be defeated" to be verified, but Zhao Wu knows that the soldiers can not be born proud. Otherwise, after a long time, many soldiers will develop the habit of underestimating the enemy,

Perhaps many night soldiers do not understand that the reason why the Snow Army was beaten in disarray was related to their own morale and the command of the commander, and morale was the main factor affecting the victory or defeat of the battle.

If the night army is proud in the future, the morale may still be high, but once it is frustrated, the morale of the night army will lose any resilience to rebound. According to the battle examples given in the war book, Zhao Wu knew that once such a soldier was hit hard in momentum, he was likely to be defeated, and Zhao Wu naturally didn't want to bring out such an army, so he couldn't let the soldiers slack off too much.

Let the soldiers talk in the army all day long about how bad the enemy army is and how powerful they are, such an atmosphere must not spread in the army, so although the order to go to war at this moment will make many night soldiers feel dissatisfied, Zhao Wu still has to do it, and he does it himself, Zhao Wu acts as if he wants to go against the will of the people. Of course, Zhao Wu's decision to fight in a hurry was not just because of the rectification of the army's morale.

At the same time, although some of the generals were puzzled, none of them asked questions at this time, because Zhao Wu was not discussing with them, but issuing military orders as a commander-in-chief.

"Today, the main thing of our army is to clean up the battlefield, properly dispose of all the corpses of the enemy and our army, and tomorrow our army will officially conduct drills. Another majestic military order was conveyed, and Zhao Wu looked at all the sergeants with an unchanged face and said, "If the soldiers have any doubts, they can convey them to the commander." ”

"In a quarter of an hour, all the personnel will carry out our military orders," said Zhao Wu, who assigned a task to the generals again, and then rode directly back to the city, in the original hall of the Snow Army. For Zhao Wu, the day after tomorrow is also a bit of a time short, as the commander of the three armies, Zhao Wu must do everything in the next time.

On the chariot, the Night Kingdom joined the army and was also puzzled by Zhao Wu's unexpected order to send troops. In fact, last night, Zhao Wu had already mentioned to this person in advance that he wanted to send troops, and also mentioned some reasons for sending troops, but after seeing the performance of those generals and soldiers just now, he had some more doubts in his heart, and he didn't know whether Zhao Wu's decision was right or wrong.

Of course, no matter what, the Night Kingdom would not doubt Zhao Wu's ability, and it was Zhao Wu's order to order the siege without waiting for the siege equipment to arrive, and it turned out that there was no problem with Zhao Wu's decision-making. Even if this person did not participate in the war at that time, Zhao Wu's superior command ability could still be seen from the information obtained from others.

It is precisely because he has also read a lot of military books, so this person also feels more and more that Zhao Wu was born to be a handsome talent, and now although he has some doubts in his heart, but the night country joins the army and knows that Zhao Wu will tell the convincing reason sooner or later.

If his guess is correct, the night country joins the army and thinks that within two days, Zhao Wu will definitely hold a meeting to give an explanation to those generals, but when it is, you still need to wait patiently.

After Zhao Wu left, those generals stayed behind to deal with the battlefield according to the order, except for Zhao Xu and a few generals, at this moment, many generals gathered in twos and threes to discuss the significance of Zhao Wu's military orders, and what Zhao Wu's plans were.

And Zhao Xu and the generals who had no objection to Zhao Wu's orders waited quietly for a quarter of an hour to pass, although they also had a lot of problems in their hearts, but for them to carry out Zhao Wu's military orders was the first thing.

At the same time, in the queue of ordinary soldiers, some people talked about this matter one after another, constantly expressing their guesses or complaining that the military order to go to war was too urgent, of course, many people chose to be silent, but on the whole, there were many soldiers who were dissatisfied with Zhao Wu's battle order.

At this moment, Da Niu and Da Hu were discussing with the others, while Lin Xuanzhong was listening.

"Why don't you say the marshal let us rest well, and wait for the wounded brothers to heal before sending troops, is it really that urgent?"

A person Lin Xuanzhong didn't know said this, and Lin Xuanzhong found that the other party had a puzzled look on his face when he spoke, and he was a little dissatisfied.

"The marshal may be in a hurry to take Xilan City, and then rob the things in the city to replenish our military supplies and reward us, but I heard General Li say that it is only a matter of time before Xilan City is taken, and Xilan City is no longer able to resist our forces. ”

"Having said that, if we take Xilan City one day earlier, won't we be rewarded one day earlier?"

"I don't think so, the marshal seems to have said that the three armies will be rewarded tonight, and there is no need to send troops today, how can it be what you said. Besides, we eat and drink well in the camp all day, and who is in a hurry to get a reward? ”

"Could it be that the marshal wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue?"

"How is that possible, the snow army has been killed by us, how can the marshal send a large army to hunt down those hundreds of deserters, what can it be for?"

"Yes, those deserters basically ran away on horses, and now they don't know where to run, even if we go after them, we don't have to wait until two days later. Several soldiers said one after the other.

Sometimes, Lin Xuanzhong first felt that a person's statement was very reasonable, but after being overturned by the people behind him, Lin Xuanzhong felt that what the people behind him said was more reasonable, but after listening to it for a long time, he didn't understand what was going on, and he only knew that everyone was talking about why Zhao Wu was in a hurry to send troops.

In fact, regarding the order to send troops issued by Zhao Wu this morning, Lin Xuanzhong also did not know why. The two sides only had a big battle yesterday, and they didn't rest well last night, the experience of this time made Lin Xuanzhong feel that time passed too quickly, and now when he thought that there were still two days to march again, Lin Xuanzhong felt that this little time was not enough to rest at all, not to mention that unlike many soldiers, Lin Xuanzhong was not only physically tired, but also very tired in his heart.

Yesterday's impact was too great, and his heart has not calmed down until now, and now he has received instructions to go to war, Lin Xuanzhong, who is physically and mentally exhausted, always has a feeling of resistance to Zhao Wu's military order.

While Lin Xuanzhong was thinking about some issues, the people next to him were still discussing, but because the less information they knew, the more they discussed, the more questions they had, and the last one became confused. By the time the generals took them to clean up the battlefield, some were still puzzled by the discussion.

The number of 150,000 troops is too much, and the number of people who can really clean up the battlefield is limited, because Chengguan is such a big place, so after those generals discussed, they simply divided the 150,000 army into five parts, and then took turns to clean up the battlefield, and there is no requirement for the efficiency of cleaning up the battlefield.

According to Zhao Wu's instructions, they only needed to clear the battlefield before dark. At present, some generals are directing their soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and some generals are busy counting the soldiers' service and weapons, and they want to accurately count the number of uniforms and weapons needed by each battalion and each army.

In yesterday's battle, the night army suffered a lot of losses in all aspects, but fortunately, the loot obtained from the snow army could be used to replenish military supplies. It also takes time to count military quarters, so the night army is busy. In addition, there are generals who are interrogating the prisoners they have captured, and from those mouths they are interrogating information about the Snow Country's army.

Not surprisingly, Snow Country still has nearly 200,000 troops divided into four groups, and they are on their way to West Arady City, once they get the news of the defeat of the defenders, several Snow Country troops may turn around and head towards West Wind City. As the capital of the Snow Country, Zephyr is the last place that the Snow Army needs to hold.

The Night Army tortured a lot of useful information from those captives, and then conveyed it to Zhao Wu.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is already afternoon. The corpses outside the city are being burned, and as long as they are burned to dust, according to Zhao Wu's instructions, the 100,000 Snow Army will rest in their moat.

In terms of the battlefield, the walls and floors of the city pass are mottled with blood, and the night army simply cleans up those blood stains, but it is a pity that it is difficult to clean up after the blood stains dry up, so that there are red traces in many places outside the city and on the city wall, and these blood stains can only be washed away by the rain on a rainy day, and it is difficult to clean up thoroughly with manpower.

At first, there was blood all over the ground, all the way to a few miles from the battlefield, and when the battlefield was cleaned yesterday, the blood that flowed from those corpses soaked the shoes of many of the night soldiers, and the shoes that had been simply cleaned did not dry after the night, so that many of the night soldiers now find the shoes they are wearing uncomfortable.

Poor conditions of dress were a cause for bad mood among soldiers, it was winter, and it took a long time for them to dry their shoes with fire. Fortunately, the weather was good, otherwise all kinds of trivial problems would have contributed to the bad mood of the soldiers.

From morning to night, the battlefield was largely cleared. During the meal, the generals gathered to discuss how to reward the soldiers. According to Zhao Wu's instructions, they needed to let each soldier get a certain amount of jade.

The generals are still negotiating the specific distribution plan. Now some generals feel that they should be rewarded according to the rank of the army, and the number of jade rewards from army generals to ordinary soldiers is gradually decreasing.
