Chapter 459

"The morale of our army is strong, and all the soldiers are brave and fearless, how can we not defeat those winged troops who can only defend?" Although Fang Quyin's words were true, he had a sense of self-belief that he was invincible to the enemy, so he attracted the question of a cavalry general.

"It is true that our army has strong morale, but that does not mean that our army can achieve the final victory. I believe that all the generals can see that the Wing Army is well-trained, and each soldier is able to carry out the orders of their commander accurately. If our army continues to charge, the enemy will definitely resist desperately, and even if our army can finally break through the shield defenses, it will definitely be a defeat for both sides. How can we take this risk with the current strength of our army? The general's approach is undoubtedly to take the overall situation into consideration. ”

It was Fang Quyin who spoke, as the commander of the arrow battalion, Fang Quyin's words have always been very weighty, and Fang Quyin's analysis is very reasonable, many generals who do not know the situation After understanding Fang Quyin's meaning, no matter how much they question Zhao Xu's approach, those people can only choose to keep silent at the moment.

After Fang Quyin's explanation, at this moment, most of the generals in the conference hall have agreed with Zhao Xu's retreat, and of course, there are still a few people who can't tell right from wrong.

"General, will the Wing Army send troops to fight again in a short period of time?" It was Lan Feng who spoke, and Lan Feng naturally agreed with Zhao Xu's approach, because Lan Feng was also watching the battle at that time. The Wingers were indeed well-trained and able to carry out the instructions of their commander-in-chief, which made the Wings very formidable.

"The wing army came from afar, and the supplies were not as abundant as our army. Although a lot of grain and grass were intercepted on the march, they still could not be compared with our army. According to the general's estimate, the Wing Army will attack the city in a few days, but it will not be today or tomorrow, the Wing Army does not know enough about our army, and will not be in a hurry to attack the city, "Zhao Xu knows a lot about the situation of the Wing Army camp, and today he has seen the ability of the Wing Army Commander, Zhao Xu feels that the Wing Army Commander is by no means the kind of person who will attack the city rashly.

"In case the enemy army attacks the city, can our army stop it at the moment?" Lan Feng believed what Zhao Xu said, but still wanted to know more.

"Our army is condescending, there is a city wall as a fortress, and there are not many large-scale siege equipment of the wing army, and it is difficult to capture the windless city for the time being, unless it is at any cost," Originally, the city wall of the windless city was extremely strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Zhao Xu was afraid of the siege equipment of the wing army. No matter how high and strong the walls are, they still can't stop the attack of siege machines. The purpose of those siege engines is not only to destroy the walls, but also to destroy the morale of the soldiers.

"What does the general mean is not completely sure?" Zhao Xu's answer was a little evasive, and Lan Feng, who listened to it, couldn't help frowning.

"Exactly," Zhao Xu nodded, then looked at Lan Feng again and asked, "Is there any news over there in the night capital?"

"Not yet, but it should be soon," Lan Feng replied simply, hoping that the news would come from the night as soon as possible.

"General, can our army think of a strategy that can completely stop the night army?"

"Your Highness, rest assured, before the arrival of the Wing Army, the General and the generals will be able to discuss detailed countermeasures to ensure that the Wing Army will not attack the city. ”

"Then there is General Lao Zhao and all the generals," Lan Feng looked at all the generals in the hall, and then said goodbye to the generals and left, now Lan Feng is relatively young, and his ability to deal with military affairs in all aspects is not as good as these generals, so the main affairs in the army are naturally handed over to the generals.

After Lan Feng left, Zhao Xu and the generals continued to discuss the matter. At the same time, the night army camp was already in chaos, and those soldiers who did not participate in the battle kept asking the soldiers who participated in the battle about the battle, but the result of the withdrawal made many soldiers who participated in the war unable to open their mouths. As a result, when the battle between the two armies spread in the army, many night troops felt that they had been defeated.

Some of the Night Soldiers were jealous of the Winged Shieldmen's shieldmen through other people's descriptions, while others were angry and wanted to see how powerful the enemy shieldmen were. Either way, the shield soldiers of the Winged Army made a name for themselves.

The cavalry battalion was the strongest among the three battalions, and they frustrated the morale of the cavalry battalion officers and men as much as the morale of the three armies, so many soldiers could not accept the fact of withdrawing their troops, and they could not help but have some doubts about the orders of the generals above.

When Zhao Xu and the generals learned that the soldiers were discussing the war in private, they immediately ordered the soldiers to strictly prohibit talking about the war, and at the same time ordered some generals to appease the soldiers. After this battle, the atmosphere in the night barracks changed dramatically, and many soldiers felt unwell as a result.

The change in the mental state of the night army is actually caused by the impetuousness of the previous army, and during the previous march, Zhao Xu's methods of appeasing the soldiers did not completely calm down many soldiers, so this time when he was hit, the atmosphere of the army would change, which was a kind of tempering for the night army, and the key was to see if the generals above could handle this matter.

Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, it had been more than an hour since Ni Youbin came back. "Brother Lin, why don't we go to Fang Qing and inquire, presumably with Fang Qing's temperament, he must have figured out everything a long time ago," Idle, Ni Youbin encouraged Lin Xuanzhong again.

Before this, Lin Xuanzhong had rejected Ni Youbin several times, although Lin Xuanzhong also wanted to find Fang Qing, but just now the above had already ordered that soldiers were strictly forbidden to leave their respective areas, so now Lin Xuanzhong still couldn't agree to Ni Youbin.

Listening to the above meaning, it is difficult for them to leave the infantry camp now, and they cannot discuss the war with each other. In this way, even if you find Fang Qing, what is the point.

"Brother Lin, since you don't dare to go, let's stay and wait for Fang Qing to come to us," Ni Youbin shook his head helplessly, and then laughed again, thinking that Fang Qing might come to Lin Xuanzhong, Ni Youbin felt that it was okay not to go to Fang Qing.

"We can't train and we can't talk about military affairs, so what can we do?" Not far from Lin Xuanzhong and the two, one commander asked the other in confusion.

"Of course, it's a good rest and a good preparation for the war. ”

"Well, it seems that this is the only way to go. ”

As they spoke, the two men became dejected, as if they were not satisfied with the orders from above.

"Was it the same when we were fighting before?" When the two left, Ni Youbin asked Lin Xuanzhong curiously.

"That's not the case," Lin Xuanzhong shook his head, thinking about the situation in the previous war, and immediately explained to Ni Youbin: "In the past, except for training, you couldn't talk about military affairs, and you could communicate freely at other times. ”

"It seems that the situation this time is very different from before," Seeing Lin Xuanzhong answer like this, Ni Youbin couldn't help but worry, thinking that he couldn't just come to be a soldier and give away his life.

"The general above will take care of it, you don't have to worry," Seeing that Ni Youbin's expression was a little unnatural, Lin Xuanzhong took the initiative to be relieved.

"Brother Lin is not afraid, I am naturally not afraid. ”

"You go back and rest early, there should be new news tomorrow. ”

"Okay, Brother Lin, you can rest well, I'll come back to you tomorrow," said the two of them and left separately.

Tonight, Lin Xuanzhong will take ten people to patrol around the camp. After a lap, Lin Xuanzhong found that there was a big difference between tonight and last night, the barracks were quiet everywhere, only some generals and officers shuttled around the camp from time to time, and it was difficult to see the figures of ordinary soldiers.

After going around a few times, he didn't meet any acquaintances, and when he waited for the specified time, Lin Xuanzhong disbanded his ten subordinates, and then went back to rest.

Early the next morning, there was a trumpet sound in the camp, which was the order to assemble. The soldiers who were still asleep turned over one by one, got dressed, took their weapons, and washed their faces and went straight to the lineup.

After the procession was over, the general above re-emphasized yesterday's request, and then reminded all the soldiers to be ready for battle at any time, and then let the soldiers go back to wash and eat.

After breakfast, the general above took some soldiers in batches and went to a place he had just found in the city to train. Normal training of soldiers was one of the countermeasures that the generals discussed yesterday, because training was the best way to keep the soldiers in a good state of mind. Unfortunately, they managed to find a small place and could not arrange for all the soldiers to train at the same time.

When participating in the training, Ni Youbin found Lin Xuanzhong again, still talking about yesterday. It was indeed surprising that Fang Qing didn't take the initiative to come to them, but the only thing Lin Xuanzhong could do now was to tell Ni Youbin not to worry, there would definitely be new news coming down from above.

Ni Youbin still listened to Lin Xuanzhong's words, and no longer thought about finding Fang Qing, but instead focused on training. As soon as he joined the army, he served as a commander, and Ni Youbin lacked a lot of leadership experience. The current training is mainly for recruits, so Ni Youbin was notified early in the morning that he was going to lead the team for training.

Following Zhao Wu's requirements, everything is strict in training recruits, so when participating in training, Ni Youbin was very sad, but Lin Xuanzhong was also not easy. While following the training, while guiding the training of his subordinates, it can be said that there is no free time.

Although the whole training process was not boring, it was also not in Lin Xuanzhong's interest, and it also took up a lot of Lin Xuanzhong's time. Compared with instructing his subordinates to train, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to train with the army.

Since leaving Westwind City, he has not been able to practice martial arts for several days, and for Lin Xuanzhong, who is eager to know but afraid to know his physical condition, life is very difficult. Fortunately, Ni Youbin has always been by his side, which makes Lin Xuanzhong feel better.

When Lin Xuanzhong and Ni Youbin were chatting, a tight horn suddenly sounded from the city gate. It didn't take long for the general above to directly inform all the soldiers to line up. As soon as the order to urgently line up, Lin Xuanzhong and Ni Youbin guessed that it was the arrival of the Wing Army.
