Chapter 680: Situation in the West

The two of them walked further, and the night soldiers standing guard on both sides were less distributed, and there were only two people every few meters, which was much cleaner. Because he had been walking, Lin Xuanzhong was not worried that the things he said would be known by the soldiers below.

The sun rose higher and higher, and in a blink of an eye, the shadows of the two were clearly visible under their feet, one on the left and one on the right, one holding a sword and the other carrying a bow. Because of the relationship between the uniforms, the shadows of the two kept revealing a strange atmosphere. A year has passed, and both of them seem to have changed, and there is no longer any familiar feeling just from the shadows.

"Then according to what you mean, if the coalition forces come to attack the city again, what will be the result?" After learning about the situation inside and outside the city from Lin Xuanzhong's mouth, Qing Yi took the initiative to ask Lin Xuanzhong some of his opinions after thinking about it for a while.

"If we really fight, I'm afraid we don't have much chance of winning," Regarding the current situation, Lin Xuanzhong knows a lot more than Qingyi, but unfortunately it is useless to just understand what the situation is.

The two kept walking forward, and neither seemed to want to stop until the question was finished. At the same time, on the side of the night capital, eight days had passed since the ten-day deadline given by Qiu Sanjie, and the Lei country was finally forced by the pressure of several other countries to send reinforcements to the night country five days ago, with only one month's grain and grass. The 150,000 Lei Army has now arrived in the territory of the Night Country, but it will take a few days to reach the Blue Moon Pass.

Judging from the current marching speed of the Lei army, it was more than ten days later when the Lei army arrived at the Blue Moon Pass. Speaking of which, the huge crisis faced by the Night Country this time also brought great pressure to the Thunder Country. Because no matter whether the Night Country is fighting or surrendering, after the Luo Tian Great Power deals with the Night Country, the next target of the Luo Tian Power is the Thunder Country.

The war between the Thunder Country and the Gu Country has been going on for a year, and it is still in the stage of equal division. If the Night Country can't survive the crisis, then it won't be long before the western part of the Thunder Country will have to face the edge of the Luo Tian Great Power, and I'm afraid that the situation that the Thunder Country will face will definitely be worse than the Night Country.

The four words "dead lips and cold teeth" are the most appropriate to describe the situation that the Thunder Country is facing now, even if the Thunder Country and the Night Country have no cooperative relationship, these four words can still be used to describe the situation faced by the Thunder Country. Part of the reason why Lei Guo is willing to send troops this time is precisely because of this.

In addition, the survival of the Thunder Country involves the Purple Cloud Country behind, and so on, it is not difficult to see that even without the existence of the Five Nations Alliance, with the current situation of several countries, they have to consider their future survival relationship. And compared to the Night Country, they do not yet have the capital to bargain. If it weren't for Luo Tian's great power taking the initiative to make conditions, then their countries would only fall into the fate of mermaids.

Now, although only the Night Kingdom is facing the troops of the Luo Tian Great Power, it is implicating several other countries. The threat from the Luo Tian Great Power is not only testing the strength of the Night Kingdom, but also testing the solidity of the Five Nations Alliance. Although the other countries are still some distance away from the Night Country, in fact, they are all involved, and it can be said that the survival of the other countries is closely related to the current situation faced by the Night Country.

Now after the Thunder Country sent its troops, several other countries are also not idle, some are mobilizing troops, some are mobilizing supplies, no matter the time of day, they all have the idea of supporting the Night Country. In the past few days, Lan Ze and many ministers in the DPRK and China have seen the actual actions of several other countries. Although the last five-nation talks failed, judging from the performance of those countries, one by one is still unwilling to give up.

In fact, no matter what the attitude of those countries was, Lan Ce couldn't expect their assistance too much, because the person who really decided the direction of the situation was Zhao Wu. Since Zhao Wu chose to resist, Lan Ce could only choose to believe Zhao Wu.

In the past few days, Lan Ce has been talking to Emperor Lai about cooperation according to Zhao Wu's opinion. If Zhao Wu's method works, the Lai army is willing to cooperate with the night army to cooperate with the night army at a critical time, and at that time, even if there is no reinforcement from the Lei country, the current crisis of the country's demise can still be solved. The secret letter has been transmitted to Laidu, and now it is only waiting for Laihuang to reply. In any case, because of Zhao Wu's relationship, the right to decide the fate of the current Night Kingdom fell to Emperor Lai. As for how Emperor Lai will decide, it can only depend on whether Zhao Wu's judgment of Emperor Lai is wrong.

With the passage of time, the news that the Four-Nation Alliance had gathered outside the Blue Moon Pass had spread to all parts of the Night Country, and after learning that the country was once again facing an existential crisis, people with lofty ideals from all over the Night Country had converged on the Blue Moon Pass. Their fate is at stake, and after seeing so many refugees displaced by their country, many do not want to follow the same path as those refugees.

It is better to live and die with the country than to live and die now, because many people have taken the initiative to join, and there is a lot of strength in the army, although it is still not enough to change the situation, but the actions of those people with lofty ideals have made Lan Ce and many people understand that the current night country has shown unprecedented cohesion, and it may not have much effect on improving national strength in a short period of time, but this will develop into a powerful force sooner or later.

And in the past eight days, at the Blue Moon Pass, Zhao Wu has done a good job in resisting the attack of the coalition forces, not only the pre-war deployment, but even the retreat of the Night Kingdom after the defeat, Zhao Wu has already thought clearly. In the remaining two days, Zhao Wu naturally paid attention to Emperor Lai's reply. If Emperor Lai is also unwilling to let people eat meat, then no matter what, the Night Kingdom will choose to fight with Lai Kingdom to the end.

Of course, before getting Emperor Lai's reply, Zhao Wu had already thought through many things about the alliance between the Night Kingdom and the Lai Kingdom. Once Emperor Lai agrees, then the next step is how to resolve the crisis in the Night Kingdom. According to the previous way of fighting, Zhao Wu still wanted to exchange the smallest loss for the greatest victory. It would be best if you could weaken the forces of other countries in one fell swoop, or if you could recruit other countries. If not, then we have to use this battle to maximize the benefits of the Night Country.

In the case of a shortage of grain and grass, the best war strategy is to feed the war with war. Regardless of the strength of the three countries, the armaments, grain and grass, and various materials of the armies of the three countries can be used as trophies. In terms of how to obtain the loot, Zhao Wu also gave detailed considerations.

Once you cooperate with the Lai army to control the military tops of the other three countries, then the next step is to start with Hongguo. Hongguo is located behind Laiguo, bordering Mongolia and Tianyu Kingdom, and the national strength is relatively strong, but the attitude of the monarch of Hongguo is difficult to figure out, so Hongguo can only be regarded as a hostile opponent. As for the conflict between the Mongolian Kingdom and the Tianyu Kingdom and the Night Kingdom before, now because of the decline of military strength, they are afraid of the Luo Tian Great Power and the Night Kingdom, if they put pressure on the two countries with absolute might, it will not be difficult for the Night Kingdom to annex the two countries in one fell swoop.

Now that the armies of both countries are outside the Blue Moon Pass, as long as they can be disarmed, they can undoubtedly weaken the forces of the two countries again. Of course, it is not enough to disarm their weapons and horses, since the two countries still have grain and grass to send troops again, it is a curious move to start from the grain and grass. Or as Zhao Wu considered, he designed to seize the top brass of the two armies in order to ask for more grain, grass and jade from the monarchs of the two countries. As long as Emperor Lai is willing to form an alliance with the Night Country, it will not be difficult to capture the enemy's important personnel.

It can be said that in terms of weakening the military strength of the hostile country, Zhao Wu has already thought of a sound idea. Of course, in terms of the distribution of spoils, Zhao Wu has provided Emperor Lai with generous enough conditions, and whether the alliance between the two countries can be completed depends on Emperor Lai's intentions in the end.

If Emperor Lai didn't agree, then the 150,000 reinforcements of the Thunder Country would become the hope of holding the Blue Moon Pass. At present, there are more than 300,000 troops in Blue Moon Pass, and it should not be a problem to block several attacks by the coalition forces, so when the war enters a stalemate, the 150,000 troops of the Thunder Country will play a role in easing the situation. If together with the Thunder Country, they still can't resist the coalition forces, and after that, the fate of the Night Country can only be handed over to the other countries.

According to the consideration of the defeat, if the other three countries do not send reinforcements, the Night Country can only withdraw to the Snow Country and dissolve relations with the other countries at the same time. The Five-Nation Alliance was the reason why Zhao Wu embarked on the road to war, and Zhao Wu naturally did not want to see the Five-Nation Alliance collapse. In fact, as the commander of the three armies on the Weizhen side, it is not for nothing that Zhao Wu can always lead his troops to be invincible against strong enemies, and this reason is not just as simple as celebrities through the ages.

Due to the critical situation in Blue Moon Pass, Zhao Wu could no longer be distracted by the war in the east, but as Lan Ce sent to Zhao Xu before, the situation in the east must be guaranteed to be stable no matter what, because only in this way can the Night Kingdom have a way out.

Putting aside the situation in the Night Country, on the city wall, Lin Xuanzhong and Qingyi walked for half an hour. The fire red coat of the morning sun behind the two of them had long since faded, and now the light was cold and dazzling, and the shadows of the two had been shortened under their feet unconsciously.

"Qingfeng, let's go back," after listening to Lin Xuanzhong say so many things, Qing Yi's state of mind was no longer as calm as when he was separated from Zhang Jiutian and Fei Yu, and his confidence in Zhao Xu and the others was also not as firm as at the beginning, and the words Lin Xuanzhong said had a great impact on Qing Yi's originally unstable will.

"I want to go further," he said, looking up, the two of them were almost at the end of the city wall, and the handsome peaks were already clearly visible. He had already been to the heavy mountain in the east, and now Lin Xuanzhong suddenly wanted to walk on the heavy mountain in the west.

Maybe the section of the city wall where the two of them are now is rarely walked, and there are more and more moss growing on the bluestone under the feet of the two, and there is a feeling of desolation when walking on it wet. At this location, there would be two night soldiers on the left and right every ten meters away, one staring at the south and the other staring at the north.
