Chapter 675: The Situation Changes

The night army held on to Fancheng and lost the advantage of taking the initiative, and although the coalition army was stationed outside the city, because of Fancheng's geographical advantage, there was only one way to attack the city. Unlike when the allied forces of Mongolia and Lesotho besieged the night, even if the coalition forces now had more troops, they still could not besiege Fancheng across the mountains. Although on the surface, the coalition forces have the advantage of taking the initiative, but in reality there is no advantage at all.

Everyone present is very clear about the state of affairs that the two sides are in, so what they are going to discuss today is very clear. It can be roughly divided into two aspects, when to siege the city and how to siege the city.

It took one night for both coalition forces to analyze all the reasons for the failure of the two sieges, from themselves to the night army, and from the night army to themselves, and all the problems during the period. After everyone present knew the various advantages and disadvantages of the two sides, they discussed these issues in combination.

How to expand their own strengths and how to ensure that their advantages are stable are the main points of discussion. Speaking of which, the current superiority of the coalition forces is obvious. The Yang country has excellent armaments and brave soldiers, and the flying country has outstanding advantages in riding and archery, and if the two sides can cooperate closely, their advantages will be even more prominent.

Even if the two-day siege defeat took a certain toll on the morale of the coalition forces, it did not have much to do with the overall situation, and the main discussion between the two sides was how to make the most of their strengths.

It is worth mentioning that after each defeated battle, the cooperative relationship between the two coalition forces was stronger, which made the meeting go more smoothly. After some debate, the two sides finally decided not to attack the city tomorrow, and the next time they attacked the city with all their might.

Between now and the next siege, the coalition forces will wait for the arrival of their respective ordnance units while looking for the shortcomings of the night army, so it can be said that the coalition forces have put all their hopes of victory on the siege equipment, so they are only second in terms of finding the shortcomings of the night army. In any case, all the coalition forces have to do in the future is to prepare for the war.

After getting the unanimous results of the talks, the two commanders of the coalition forces only need to deal with the Qingyuan power. It was not difficult for them to convince the Qingyuan Powers to give them some more deadlines, because those two sieges had already allowed the Youths to see their performance.

The end of a coalition meeting heralded the end of two days of turmoil, and of course an even bigger storm was brewing.

There was nothing to do all night, and early the next morning, Lin Xuanzhong was not awakened by the sudden sound of the horn. After waking up naturally, after a simple wash, Lin Xuanzhong went to the school field according to Zhao Xu's arrangement yesterday, if the coalition forces no longer attack the city, they would train normally.

The weather was getting harsher and harsher day by day, and it was only during training that the soldiers, who had shivered from the cold in the morning, could spread their fists and kicks. As the light in the sky became more and more dazzling, the expressions on the faces of the soldiers also became brilliant.

While shouting specific slogans and patrolling back and forth between the queues, Lin Xuanzhong saw the mental outlook of those soldiers in his eyes. After two battles, the number of soldiers in the headquarters has been reduced, and the main reason for the decrease in personnel is the three shots of the flying army yesterday.

After a day of thinking, it was not difficult for Lin Xuanzhong to think that there must have been a flying army in the city at that time transmitting signals to their archers, so that the flying archers outside the city could determine their approximate location and launch an attack. Thinking about it carefully, it was true that many of his subordinates died on the way to reinforcements, and of course, what really surprised Lin Xuanzhong was that the archers outside the city could attack them through the high city walls.

Compared with the personnel of the headquarters, the other reinforcements suffered greater losses, and it can be said that a third of the casualties of the night army yesterday died on the reinforcement road. Now that I think about it, it was said that the flying army was good at shooting, and Lin Xuanzhong must not doubt it.

Aside from the awesomeness of the archers of the flying army, although the personnel of the headquarters were reduced, after patrolling back and forth, Lin Xuanzhong found that the mental state of the soldiers below was better than the other, and their faces were full of high fighting spirit. Walking among those queues, Lin Xuanzhong's emotions were constantly affected by them, and soon there was a belligerent impulse in his heart.

After calming down, Lin Xuanzhong went to other places to see, as a first-class wolf general, whether it was the infantry camp area or the other two battalions, there was no place where Lin Xuanzhong couldn't go. After a period of observation, it was not difficult for Lin Xuanzhong to find that compared with the soldiers in his headquarters, the mental state of those recruits was obviously worse.

The reason for this is not difficult for Lin Xuanzhong to think of, after all, compared to the soldiers in the headquarters, those recruits have experienced too few battles. If you want to make those recruits reborn, you have to wait at least until the war with the coalition forces is over.

When Lin Xuanzhong inspected the infantry in other areas, those ordinary generals saluted one by one after seeing Lin Xuanzhong. Due to the fact that Lin Xuanzhong and Qi Wei were on par with each other the day before yesterday, Lin Xuanzhong's prestige in the army grew again, and the other first-class wolf generals in the infantry camp were now not as strong as Lin Xuanzhong. It can be said that in addition to Li Jianran, Lin Xuanzhong is currently the most respected in Buying.

Training is a boring and important task, and now every drop of sweat left by a soldier will shed a drop of blood on the battlefield every day. Zhao Xu has strict requirements in terms of military training, whether it is a recruit or a veteran, everyone must complete the prescribed training time every day. As for the rest of the free time, it is up to the soldiers to take their own hands, and they can generally intensify their practice and rest.

Based on the above clear provisions, the soldiers of the two countries, who originally had a disagreement, have always gotten along relatively well. It's just that the Night Army's elite are trained too hard, and using them as role models is still a long way for some recruits. Besides, frontal combat on the battlefield is more conducive to the progress of soldiers than normal practice, so those recruits cannot be expected to catch up with those elites as soon as possible.

Now the disparity in combat power is a major problem among the night army, and if the gap is large enough to a certain extent, the overall morale of the army will be affected. In order to narrow the gap between the combat power of recruits and veterans, the above has been thinking of some ways. I don't know what measures can be taken above, all Lin Xuanzhong can do now is to do his best.

Three days passed, and in the past three days, Lin Xuanzhong either accompanied Zhang Jiutian to train his troops, or took the soldiers of his headquarters to stand guard in the city. After a few days of disengagement with a group of direct subordinates, Lin Xuanzhong was already able to call out their names when he saw some of the commanders again.

It is worth mentioning that every time Lin Xuanzhong talked to those commanders, the excited expressions of those people were shown on their faces, and they were full of respect for Lin Xuanzhong between their words. Under the influence of those people, Lin Xuanzhong gradually realized that his status in the army was indeed higher than before.

Regarding the issue of identity, Lin Xuanzhong has never thought about it, and has been paying attention to the movements of the coalition forces for the past few days. Today is the fourth day after the battle with the Flying Army, and the coalition forces still have no intention of attacking.

The inactivity of the coalition army for three consecutive days made Lin Xuanzhong more sure of Zhao Xu's previous inference, the coalition army was indeed trying to weaken the strength of the night army, but because of the failure of the two sieges, they had no choice but to change the battle plan. According to recent news from the territory of Feiguo and Yang, the ordnance units of both countries are already on their way to Yiguo, and it is clear that the coalition forces are currently waiting for their follow-up support.

As soon as the allied ordnance unit arrives, the allied army will not only have large siege equipment, but will also increase its strength again. By that time, the coalition forces would come back to attack the city, and judging from the previous two engagements, it was really unknown whether the night army would be able to hold Fancheng.

As for speculation about the coalition battle plan, the above opinions have been agreed, and the situation has deteriorated considerably as a result, and now there is a clear atmosphere of tension in the barracks. Like many generals, Lin Xuanzhong had been thinking about a strategy to deal with the coalition forces in private. Because of the relationship between the coalition forces and reinforcements, it is not difficult to think that defending Fancheng is no longer the first choice of the night army.

It's a pity that the night army still doesn't have the conditions to take the initiative to attack, no matter whether the above can think of countermeasures against the coalition army's battle plan in time, the more Lin Xuanzhong thinks about it, the more anxious he becomes. Because no matter how he thought about it, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't think of a countermeasure that would make their night army change the situation.

In fact, the current situation facing the night army is already very serious. It's a pity that the coalition camp is still on guard everywhere, no matter how many spies Zhao Xu sent, there is only one piece of information sent back, and the night army has no chance to take advantage of it.

For the night army, not being able to launch a surprise attack is not the worst situation, according to the news sent back by the spies, there is still a big problem that is causing headaches for Zhao Xu and the others. Regardless of the true purpose of the coalition forces coming to the Winged Country to defeat the Night Army, it is clear that their two sieges have given people with lofty ideals from all over the Winged Country hope of recovering the country.

According to the information reported by the spies, some people from the Wing Kingdom entered the coalition camp yesterday, and those people came with the intention of joining the coalition army to fight against the night army, so as to avenge their dead relatives. Although there are only a dozen people, and each strength is not outstanding, it is a bad momentum for the Night Army.

I don't know who the specific people who went to join the coalition forces are, and now they can only send more people to pay attention to the situation in this regard. Compared to this situation, there is a more important problem that the Night Army is facing now. Two days ago, news came from the night capital that Luo Tianguo had joined forces with one million troops to conquer the night country.

Due to the various problems they are facing, a letter from the night army is tantamount to a bolt from the blue to the top of the night army. At present, the strength of the night country is about 300,000, and it is not certain whether the other countries can support in time, after all, the time limit given by Luo Tianguo is too short. After learning that the Night Country was facing a huge crisis again, some generals had even proposed to Zhao Xu to withdraw their troops.
