Chapter 833: Situation of the Two Cities
Chapter 833: Situation of the Two Cities
It was indeed much more comfortable to lay on a bunk on the ground next to the military case, and when I closed my eyes and listened to the sounds around me, I only felt that the night was too long. Maybe he was too tired, and before he could think about some problems, Lin Xuanzhong fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, a cough woke Lin Xuanzhong up, and when Lin Xuanzhong opened his eyes, the camp was bright, but it didn't look like dawn, but the sound was the sound in the tent. Thinking that it might be Ruan Ming waking up, Lin Xuanzhong quickly turned over and went to Ruan Ming's bed to take a look.
"General," when Lin Xuanzhong walked to the bed, Ruan Ming did wake up, and his pale face could not affect the vitality that bloomed in his eyes, and when he tried to get up but couldn't move, Ruan Ming had to continue to lie on the bed until Lin Xuanzhong came over. That familiar face made Ruan Ming struggle again, but unfortunately it was still in vain.
"Don't move, rest well in bed," seeing Ruan Ming's movements, Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly reminded.
"General, where is my brother?" Ruan Ming no longer struggled, but there was still some urgency in her eyes.
"Don't worry, he's fine, he's come to see you before. ”
"When is the general?"
"I don't know, you have a good rest, I'll go out and have a look," when answering Ruan Ming's question, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly thought of the pair of brothers and sisters who died in the big tent before, and felt a little melancholy, and when he realized that he shouldn't watch those two die, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to go out for a walk.
"General, I want to drink water," but Ruan Ming didn't know what Lin Xuanzhong was thinking at the moment, due to excessive blood loss, the feeling of thirst was extremely strong.
"You wait a minute," Ruan Ming said without thinking about staying with Lin Xuanzhong, and Lin Xuanzhong had to think about giving Ruan Ming some water before going out for a walk.
Not long after, Lin Xuanzhong brought the water over, but found another problem, with Ruan Ming's current condition, he couldn't drink water by himself at all. So, under Ruan Ming's somewhat embarrassed gaze, Lin Xuanzhong put the water aside, and then carefully helped Ruan Ming up.
"Cough, cough ......" Before he could take two sips, Ruan Ming, who was thinly dressed, coughed, and a flush appeared on his pale face, and Lin Xuanzhong, who was watching, was more careful not to let himself think about anything about men and women.
"General, did you save me before?" Ruan Ming finally stabilized after drinking two sips of water.
"It's not me, it's the Great Pharmacist who saved you," shaking his head, Lin Xuanzhong slowly helped Ruan Ming to lie down, his eyes trying not to look at Ruan Ming. The wind was cold at night, worried that Ruan Ming would be unable to resist the wind and cold, Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly covered Ruan Ming with a quilt.
"You have a good rest, if you need to call me, I'll go to the door first," glanced at Ruan Ming, who had covered the quilt with confidence, and Lin Xuanzhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"General go slowly," Ruan Ming was in such close contact with a strange man for the first time, and after thinking about the love between men and women, her voice became extremely gentle, and every word could affect Lin Xuanzhong's heart. Lin Xuanzhong, who thought that he could leave officially, trembled and wanted to turn back, but when Lin Xuanzhong hesitated, he noticed that Zhang Jiutian, Yang Shifeng and Ruan Yi were looking at him in front of him, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"General, you really know how to take care of people," greeted Lin Xuanzhong, who was a little flustered, and Zhang Jiutian said meaningfully.
"General Zhang has won the award," his eyes flashed, because of Zhang Jiutian's extremely ugly voice, the feeling of embarrassment in Lin Xuanzhong's heart no longer existed.
"What is the matter with you coming to me?" Without waiting for Zhang Jiutian to speak again, Lin Xuanzhong asked the three of them directly.
"General Fang has already arrived two miles away from the camp with his army, so I waited to come over to see if it was convenient for the general to go out to greet him," Yang Shifeng didn't say something unpleasant like Zhang Jiutian, and directly stated his intentions.
"General Ruan, Sister Ling has woken up, you go over and take a look," After understanding the intention of the three of them, Lin Xuanzhong glanced at Ruan Yi first, and then looked at Zhang Jiutian and Yang Shifeng and said, "Let's ride over to greet us." ”
Without waiting for the three of them to respond, Lin Xuanzhong had already taken the lead and walked outside the big tent. Outside the big tent, the cool wind blew a chill, and when he raised his head, Lin Xuanzhong noticed that it was dawn.
After accidentally sleeping for three hours, riding on a horse, Lin Xuanzhong felt very cold when he was blown by a gust of cold wind. Fortunately, the distance was not far, and it didn't take long for the long queue in front of the three of them to be clearly visible.
When Chang Siyuan came to deliver the message before, Fang Quyin was already arranging to pull out the camp, and it was not until now that the 30,000 soldiers arrived at the former army camp. Thinking about it carefully, it must have been very hard to travel all night, and Lin Xuanzhong suddenly felt sorry for Fang Quyin and the 30,000 soldiers.
"General Fang, you have arrived," and when they arrived at the front of the team, under the banner, Lin Xuanzhong saw Fang Quyin and several other generals.
"En," On the other side, Fang Quyin also noticed that the person who came over on horseback was Lin Xuanzhong. Earlier, I heard Chang Siyuan say that the personnel were limited and even Lin Xuanzhong went into battle in person, but now seeing that Lin Xuanzhong looked like he had nothing to do, it didn't look like he had participated in the battle at all, Fang Quyin was a little curious about whether Lin Xuanzhong had gone into battle in person.
"General Lin, what is the condition of the front army?" out of curiosity, Fang Quyin asked indirectly.
"Fourteen thousand people were killed in the battle, the wounded have all been treated, and the whole army is currently resting," roughly talking about the situation of the army, and after thinking about it, Lin Xuanzhong asked Fang Quyin again, "How is the confrontation between the rear army and the Gu army?"
"It's just a face-to-face, our army's casualties are not big, General Lin don't worry," his eyes flashed, Fang Quyin then asked: "What does General Lin mean when he said that it was the Gu army who ambushed our army?"
"General Fang is tired from the journey, so let's go to the camp to rest for a while, and talk about other things later," mentioning the army of the Valley Country, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly felt a little heavy. If the Gu Army and the remnants of the Yang Kingdom and the local forces they had offended before cooperated, the other party's manpower and material resources would surpass the current Night Army. When the other party attacked again, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't imagine what the situation would be at that time.
"General Fang, before we captured some Sword City personnel, and under torture, they said that it was the Gu Kingdom army that ambushed you. After the analysis of the last general, Gu Guo's army should have come from the west secretly, "But Zhang Jiutian is not as subtle as Lin Xuanzhong, when Fang Quyin and some generals thought about what it would mean if Gu Guo's army ambushed them, Zhang Jiutian directly turned those thoughts into reality.
"General Lin, this matter is not trivial, we still need to urgently discuss countermeasures," Sure enough, the next time, Fang Quyin looked at him with a solemn face, and the worry in his eyes made Lin Xuanzhong, who had been calm, nervous again.
"Then let's go to the big tent and talk," Glancing at Zhang Jiutian, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly felt that some things could not be avoided at all. Although he had just rested for three hours and his physical condition had recovered greatly, Lin Xuanzhong's heart was very tired because of several attacks in a row. It hasn't had time to be quiet for a while, and in the blink of an eye, he has to face a more severe situation, no matter how he thinks about it, Lin Xuanzhong has a feeling that he can't bear it, this step camp master will be too tired.
Not long after, in the big tent that had just been set up in the rear army camp, Lin Xuanzhong called all the high-ranking generals in the front army according to Fang Quyin's opinion.
In last night's battle, Yang Shifeng, Zhou Wenfeng and Ruan Yi all survived, but General Qi, who was responsible for information collection on the night army's side, unfortunately died. Among the other generals with outstanding ability, Lin Xuanzhong only thought of Chang Siyuan for the time being, so he called Chang Siyuan over again. The current high-level meeting is very beneficial for cultivating the ability of his subordinates, because he wants Chang Siyuan to take over the position of General Qi, Lin Xuanzhong intends to give Chang Siyuan a chance.
Here in the rear army, Fang Quyin singled out some people with higher status. By the time the meeting began, it was already dawn, and the emergency meeting was to discuss how to respond if there was a threat from the three parties.
When Fang Quyin brought up the worst-case scenario, the generals expressed their opinions and discussed a lot. At the same time, the high-level personnel of the three parties of Sword City, Lockdown City and Gu Jun who gathered in one place looked at each other speechlessly, and the failure of this operation can be said to have problems with all three of them, so after meeting, no one can blame anyone, but they can't explain to the above.
If earlier they had concentrated all their men against the 40,000 front army, instead of splitting into two ways against the two night armies in front and behind, they had eliminated at least one night army last night, but now they were a failure. However, it was too late to hold them accountable, and after losing the last chance to attack the front army, they had to retreat to their respective camps.
Now that their plan to defeat the night army in one fell swoop has failed, and their identities and traces have been exposed, when they plan to attack the night army again, both sides have proposed that Emperor Yang mobilize the army. When the army arrived, they attacked the night army in three directions. Maybe Lin Xuanzhong and the others still think that dividing the troops is a mistake, but the result is precisely because of the division of troops that they can survive.
After the high-level meeting between the three parties, Jian Lingshuang and Feng Zicheng brought their personnel back to their respective cities, and the news of their defeat spread in the city. As a result, in addition to accusations in Jianchen and the blockade, there were cries everywhere.
In last night's battle, too many families lost the excellent clansmen they had cultivated with great difficulty, but in exchange for a defeat. It is true that they have a complete grudge against the Night Army, but their losses are indeed unbearable. After Jian Lingshuang and the others explained the reasons for the defeat, some people hated the Night Army even more, but some people thought that maybe revenge on the Night Army was a mistake at all.
