Chapter 851: Ascend the platform again

Like some previous thoughts, because he felt that he would never be able to surpass Lin Xuanzhong in his life, Hong Yu still planned to rely on Lin Xuanzhong to become an admirable person. Of course, although Hong Yu's goal is clear, he never knows much about Lin Xuanzhong.

In the past ten days, Hong Yu has been checking the news outside, and he doesn't know what is going on in the barracks. According to a short period of observation, Hong Yu felt that Lin Xuanzhong's personality was relatively mild, gentle as if he had no temper, and he didn't look like the chief general of the three armies on the Megatron side at all, but it did make Hong Yu feel very comfortable. It can be said that in front of Lin Xuanzhong, he is not as restrained as he was in front of other generals.

On the other side, after walking to the military case and sitting down, Lin Xuanzhong planned to do the last ideological work for himself, so as to persuade all the soldiers to stop the war.

Having said that, in fact, Lin Xuanzhong has always been very clear that the more issues he considers, the easier it is to shake his will, but now that it is the last moment, he can no longer deny his decision, so the more he is shaken, the more Lin Xuanzhong must be firm in his original plan. After sorting out the matter of persuading the army to cease the war and persuading Shi Jiangchuan and others to rescue Emperor Yang, and after confirming that there was no problem, Lin Xuanzhong thought that if there was something that needed to be replenished at that time, he could only rely on on-the-spot performance.

"General, General Fang, please come over, we have prepared the flag sacrifice ceremony," as Lin Xuanzhong forcibly suppressed his wavering will and the hunger in his body, a herald hurriedly walked into the big tent.

"Well," nodded, Lin Xuanzhong slowly got up and walked to the door of the big tent, and glanced at Hong Yu with a calm face, "You come with me." ”

"Yes," Hong Yu agreed, and then followed Lin Xuanzhong out.

Under the guidance of the herald, it didn't take long for a small platform to appear in the sight of the two. Looking at it, the prisoners of the Sealed City and Sword City that they captured before were all kneeling on it, probably because they knew what kind of situation they were going to face, those local people of different ages looked panicked and scared.

Different from the performance of those prisoners, on the other side of the high platform, Shi Jiangchuan and other two dozen former generals of the Yang Army stood straight one by one. It may be to give them a little face, Fang Quyin and the others did not force those who did not have the ability to resist to kneel. Immediately afterwards, Lin Xuanzhong noticed that there was no fear on the faces of Shi Jiangchuan and the others, only hatred, anger and unwillingness. After a month or two in captivity, it was clear that those people had understood the fact that their country had abandoned them, and it was because of this that they were ready to die.

Perhaps the humiliating death did not meet their expectations, but the current situation left them with no choice, or their fate was the same, so their unwillingness came from this. Walking along the edge of the high platform to the location of Fang Quyin and the others, Lin Xuanzhong noticed that the butchers standing behind the prisoners all looked fierce and looked ready to kill.

On the other side, when Lin Xuanzhong walked over slowly, Shi Jiangchuan and the others glared at Lin Xuanzhong without exception. In their opinion, Lin Xuanzhong was the direct cause of their current fate, but no matter how strong the anger in their eyes was, Lin Xuanzhong's calm eyes never changed.

There is no trace of color, it is just so calm, so calm that it makes people feel that Lin Xuanzhong does not look like a normal person. It might have been more acceptable to Lin Xuanzhong if he mocked them wantonly with a smug smile on his face, but Lin Xuanzhong's eyes were so calm that they couldn't see anything, so their anger had nowhere to vent.

Jiang Chuan and the others already knew that Lin Xuanzhong and they were going to attack the city, and they also knew that the isolated night army was cornered. If Lin Xuanzhong showed that desperate emotion, they would also be more receptive, but even when Lin Xuanzhong stopped looking at them, his face was still so expressionless, which was incomprehensible, and even the other night army generals couldn't understand why Lin Xuanzhong was like this.

In order to confirm their thoughts, some people saw the same doubts on the faces of Fang Quyin and the others, and as a result, this point made those people very puzzled.

At the same time, Zhang Jiutian and the others clearly felt an unusual aura. Recalling the scene when they met Lin Xuanzhong not long ago, some people felt that something must have happened, and they could guess what it was.

"General Lin, if there is no objection, the flag sacrifice ceremony will officially begin," Fang Quyin didn't know what Lin Xuanzhong's mood was now, and he still talked to Lin Xuanzhong in a normal way.

"Generals, there is one thing to announce," all the soldiers have arrived, and what should be said can be said naturally.

"Escort those people down, I was going to borrow the high platform for a use," turned around and ordered Zhang Jiutian, Lin Xuanzhong planned to let those prisoners listen together.

"General Lin, who are you?" Fang Quyin, who was a little puzzled by Lin Xuanzhong's request, didn't understand what Lin Xuanzhong couldn't say directly, so he had to announce it on the high platform, so he asked on the spot.

"General Fang, don't worry, you will naturally understand later," After a brief explanation, Lin Xuanzhong took a deep breath and prepared to go to the high platform to make a speech against the wishes of all the soldiers.

Seeing Lin Xuanzhong's reply to Fang Quyin like this, Zhang Jiutian directly arranged for people to escort all the prisoners off the high platform, and then guarded those people and waited for Lin Xuanzhong's further instructions.

Then, under the attention of the generals and many soldiers around him, Lin Xuanzhong walked straight onto the high platform. It's the same as the public oath made that day, except that there are more people today.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will have received news last night that the forces of many cities in the south of the lockdown city have gathered no less than 100,000 people, and they are ready to defend the city. The manpower and material resources used by the other party to defend the city are extremely sufficient, and with the 80,000 troops of our army, it is impossible to break through a fortified city with 100,000 men in one fell swoop in the case of lack of materials," when many people thought that Lin Xuanzhong was going to make a morale-boosting remark before going to battle, Lin Xuanzhong's words made them gradually change their minds.

"If you want to ensure that the officers and men of the three armies will not go hungry, the food and grass in the army can only last for two more days, but it will take a day and a half from the barracks to the lockdown. ”

"If you set off immediately, you can only reach the outside of the lockdown city tomorrow afternoon, and you will attack the city after a short rest, but if you can't capture the lockdown at one time, our remaining food and grass and limited ordnance will not be enough to support the second siege, so the soldiers should not have the idea of attacking the city continuously," When many people began to think that Lin Xuanzhong was not boosting morale, Lin Xuanzhong just said something that seemed to be boosting morale.

"If the siege fails, our army can only starve to death in the mountains and wilderness in addition to surrendering to the blockade, but according to the general's opinion, surrendering the blockade will only end up being a dead end. Since the people who sealed the city did not dare to confront our army head-on, they naturally would not let our army survive, and they would have thought that all the soldiers did not want to surrender to those who were far more numerous than us but did not dare to fight us. ”

Lin Xuanzhong's remarks seemed to be boosting morale, which cheered up many night soldiers, and at the same time made Shi Jiangchuan and others so ashamed that they were embarrassed. When they first united with the Flying Nation, the coalition forces were outnumbered, but they never dared to fight the night army head-on, which led to the final attack by the night army. If the coalition forces chose to attack the city continuously, maybe they would not have fallen into the current situation, thinking of the reason why they did not dare to attack the city at the beginning, Lin Xuanzhong's words naturally made them embarrassed.

"Ben will say so much to the generals, not to hit the morale of the army, but Ben will want to tell all of you that going to attack the city in a desperate way will bury our army's last chance to save the day, so Ben will not support today's battle," Many soldiers were extremely excited when Lin Xuanzhong deliberately belittled the cowardice of the Yangguo people, and thought that Lin Xuanzhong was deliberately using this to boost morale, but then Lin Xuanzhong's sudden conclusion made them stunned, and they were shocked one by one, and at the same time, Shi Jiangchuan and others were extremely surprised.

When the entire army was about to boil over because of this, Fang Quyin and some generals changed their faces one by one, and Lin Xuanzhong's words shocked them incomparably. Recalling the scene of last night's deliberations, Lin Xuanzhong was the first person to say that he would attack the city, and now that the army had been assembled, Lin Xuanzhong unexpectedly changed their decision to go to war, and it was in such a public occasion, which made them unbelievable.

However, for Zhang Jiutian and the others, Lin Xuanzhong's words just made the bad premonition that had always existed in their hearts come true, they were not as surprised as Fang Quyin and the others, but what they least wanted to happen still happened. And even if they don't agree with Lin Xuanzhong's approach, who of them can oppose Lin Xuanzhong's decision. Under Lin Xuanzhong's determined gaze, they could only look at Fang Quyin in the end, and only Fang Quyin could explain to Lin Xuanzhong here.

"General Lin, what are you doing?" Under the high stage, Fang Quyin's face was red and white, and it was indescribably ugly. Originally, after the flag sacrifice ceremony, the army could set off, but before leaving, Lin Xuanzhong, one of the two main generals, openly retreated, and it was so sudden, as if he didn't put Fang Quyin in his eyes, how could Fang Quyin accept Lin Xuanzhong's decision, so when the generals looked over, Fang Quyin openly questioned Lin Xuanzhong.

"Generals, the possibility of capturing the closed city is very small, and the general does not want to take the soldiers of the three armies to die in vain," understanding why Fang Quyin asked the question, in order to avoid more problems, Lin Xuanzhong continued to explain: "Last night, the general also received a message that Emperor Yang was currently ordered to attack our army because he was held hostage by the people of the Qingyuan Powers. According to the general's opinion, as long as the general can find a way to help Emperor Yang get out, the crisis of our army can be easily solved, the contradiction between our army and the Yang State can be successfully eliminated, and even the Yang State will continue to ally with the Night State. ”
