Chapter 295

The night army won successive battles, and their prestige was too great, but their snow army was defeated in successive battles, and the morale of the army was low. Judging from the current military appearance of the two armies, even if the Snow Country is higher than the Night Army in terms of military strength, it still has no chance of winning, so the royal family of the Snow Country is considering resisting the Night Army.

In the Imperial City, the civilians were terrified, although they still had an army in the Snow Country, but they were already afraid of the prestige of the Night Army, how terrible it was for the 100,000 army to be wiped out, they couldn't imagine how brutal the Night Army was, it could slaughter 100,000 people in one day.

Despite the presence of the Imperial Family, the common people in Kyoto were not at ease, and there was an atmosphere of panic in the Imperial City. Those civilians were even more panicked than the night army rushed to Xilan Pass before, and the people in Xilan City. But if even the Imperial City is not safe, where can they flee to?

As the situation became more and more tense, everyone in the imperial city had a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings. Even if the Night Army has not yet arrived in the city, the prestige has already had a great impact on the people in the imperial city, maybe the war is like this.

Time passed little by little, and Lin Xuanzhong's place, after their army got closer and closer to the snow army in front, the atmosphere in the army gradually became tense. Because of the disparity in strength, every soldier knew they were going to face an enemy force that was far outnumbered by them.

In fact, in comparison, the number of the Snow Army that Lin Xuanzhong and they had to face was not too large than them, and one of the night troops had to face 30,000 more enemy troops than them, so the disparity in strength was really nerve-wracking.

Having said that, the numerical disadvantage still worried some of the soldiers, and of course most of the night soldiers maintained their fighting spirits, and they couldn't wait to start a battle with the snow army one by one. As long as they follow the plan to repel the Snow Army, they will get what they need from the loot.

The combination of various factors made the soldiers in the army more suitable for combat, and the generals were in high spirits, and the situation in front of them could not be better.

The one who was in charge of commanding Lin Xuanzhong was the commander of the arrow battalion, and the rest of the infantry battalion commander was assisting him, and the rest were ordinary generals. At this moment, the generals were discussing in a makeshift tent, only thirty miles away from the snow army in front, and they had to make personnel arrangements as soon as possible.

According to the news from the spies, the Snow Army was marching at a third speed of their normal march, but they could no longer march as fast as they were. In order to ensure the state of the soldiers, and to leave a certain amount of rest time for the soldiers, these generals also need to make certain adjustments before actually sending out the troops.

More than a dozen generals were babbling their suggestions in the tents, some suggesting that an ambush should be laid in the front area of one of the marching sections of the Snow Army on the map in front of them, and some would suggest that troops be used in the latter area, and the opinions of the generals could not be unanimous.

Of course, the commander of the Arrow Battalion will be the commander-in-chief of this operation, and now he is only listening to the advice of other generals, and the final decision is still made by this person.

There are generals of the three battalions in the tent, and most of the ambush sites proposed by the generals of the three battalions are determined according to the terrain suitable for the soldiers of their own battalion, and many aspects have not been considered.

As the commander-in-chief of the army, it will be necessary for the commander of the Arrow Battalion to determine the real location of their ambush through the opinions given by one of the subordinates, an area conducive to the joint operation of the three battalions of soldiers. Because the soldiers of the arrow battalion will be the main force in the next war, the choice of terrain should naturally be biased towards the terrain suitable for their arrow battalion ambush.

The generals of the other two battalions had no objection to the priority of the Arrow Battalion in choosing the combat terrain, after all, it was true, and they could not put forward opinions that were unfavorable to the battle situation in order to make the soldiers of their own battalions more effective.

An hour later, the discussion of the first cadre general ended, Zhao Wu had already told the commander of the arrow battalion the general combat policy, and now all they had to do was to refine the tactics more refined.

In terms of details, it is not difficult for the generals who have already determined the tactics, but it is difficult to issue formal military orders.

After leaving Zhao Wu, the chief general who led the army understood how difficult it was to really command the army. Sitting on the top position will bear the pressure from above, but fortunately, after an hour of discussion, the Arrow Battalion Commander and other generals have already made arrangements.

The location of the ambush has been determined, and the timing of their attack has been determined. The next step is to discuss the countermeasures for unexpected situations, they are getting closer and closer to the snow army in front, and the snow army in front is getting closer and closer to the other snow army, and the combat position they have set is very close to the middle position of the two snow armies, so there is a certain risk.

In the blink of an eye, another half an hour passed, and the Arrow Battalion Master and the others finally discussed a complete battle plan. At the same time, the army had been resting here for a long time, and the commander of the arrow battalion directly ordered to set off.

Since the snow army was still marching, after a few hours, the distance between the two sides was further distanced, and the time was even more unfavorable to the night army, of course, the night army did not need to be in a hurry.

Setting off again, the Night Army's march slowed down to twice the speed of the Snow Army. If you look at it according to the ten miles of one hour, it will take at least six hours for the night army to catch up with the snow army in front.

There is still more than an hour before dark, and the Snow Army will find a place to stop and rest after dark, so the Night Army will rush to the vicinity of the Snow Army in the middle of the night.

Since the Snow Army does not march at night, the Night Army can bypass the Snow Army's camp and rush to the front of the Snow Army earlier, which is a suitable section of the road for their ambush, so the real ambush may not be carried out until tomorrow daylight.

The generals had already considered the issue of time when they discussed it together, and besides, it would be a problem for the night army to travel for six hours in a row, after all, the soldiers needed to rest.

Time passed little by little, getting closer and closer to the Snow Army, and the soldiers finally became nervous, only a small part of that nervousness was due to the fear of the Snow Army, and most of them were the desire for war, which may be strange, but there were indeed many people in the Night Army who had a yearning attitude towards war.

"Qingfeng, when we start a war with the enemy, you don't have to be busy protecting me and the big tiger, kill a little more enemy soldiers yourself, and behave well, so that we can still record the credit when we see it. ”

"Yes, Qingfeng, with your strength, you will definitely be able to kill more enemy troops," the big tiger added.

"Although the strength of our two brothers is not strong, we can barely rank in the middle of the army, and when the war starts, Da Hu and I will take care of each other, and you can just experience the feeling of war alone," when he thought of the excitement of killing, Da Niu had an irrepressible sense of excitement, as if he was addicted to killing.

Prompted by that feeling, Da Niu kept recalling the previous picture of fighting with the enemy, and he always had a feeling of wanting to kill in his heart.

The feeling of longing to kill is not as strong as that of Da Niu, but Da Hu has fully accepted the cruelty of war and can face it with a normal state of mind.

Of course, although Da Niu said that he didn't need Lin Xuanzhong to take care of him, he still hoped that Lin Xuanzhong could take care of him and Da Hu at a critical moment, so that the two of them would be more at ease against the enemy on the battlefield. For Lin Xuanzhong's strength, Da Niu has never doubted.

"Big brother is right, Qingfeng, you should also let me and my brother rely on our own strength to train and exercise, so that when you leave the army in the future, my brother and I will not die on the battlefield easily. "The big tiger still has an upright nature and likes to speak from the heart.

According to Da Hu, Da Hu didn't take into account the aspects that needed Lin Xuanzhong's help at all, so his tone of voice sounded much more free and easy than Da Niu.

War will change people's personalities, which Lin Xuanzhong deeply understands, and now the tone of the big bull and the big tiger makes Lin Xuanzhong feel that both of them have changed a lot. Since both of them said so, Lin Xuanzhong had no choice but to accept the persuasion of the two, but he still had plans to protect the two of them in his heart, at most he would have to worry less on the battlefield.

"Okay," nodded at the two, and as he walked, Lin Xuanzhong didn't forget to remind the two: "You guys be careful on the battlefield." ”

"Don't worry, as long as we are not surrounded by enemy troops, Da Hu and I will definitely be fine," Seeing Lin Xuanzhong agree, Da Niu immediately smiled and reassured. On the other side, Dahu also nodded in agreement.

"The general said that it seems that he will not be able to attack the Snow Army until tomorrow?"

"Yes, before the battle starts, we need to get to the place where we ambush the enemy as soon as possible, and then rest and lay an ambush there. ”

"How long will it take to get there?"

"It should be another two or three hours,"

"It's going to take that long, so let's have some dry food first, right?"

"Didn't you just eat it during your break?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to eat until I'm there. The tone in which Dahu spoke made people feel funny, and even Lin Xuanzhong, who was listening to the conversation between the two brothers, laughed. It would be nice to be able to go on mercenary missions with the big bull brothers, but it's also not safe to do mercenary missions.

Along the march, many soldiers wore broken shoes to wear out their feet, but no one would stop unless they had to. Now that they had gone deep into the mountains, the road under their feet was becoming more and more difficult, but fortunately, the battle was about to begin, and the soldiers no longer had other thoughts because of unfavorable factors.

It is the goal of every soldier to be able to successfully annihilate the Snow Army next, and those generals before clearly said that the Snow Army in front is carrying a baggage, which means that as long as the Snow Army is eliminated, the food and clothing they need can be obtained, which is an important reason for the soldiers to want to fight urgently, of course, for the Night Army, it may not be a good thing to be too eager for quick success.

After a few hours, the night army finally stopped all the way to the ambush site that the generals had previously discussed, and more than 30,000 night troops divided into two teams and took refuge behind the mountains on both sides of the canyon. The canyon formed between the two mountains was the only way for the Snow Army to reach the City of Zephyr.
