Chapter 251
Chapter 251
This time, the royal family of the Night Kingdom not only transferred 150,000 troops, but also sent dozens of generals, some of whom were older than Zhao Wu and some were younger than Zhao Wu. Some people are responsible for suppressing bandits and beasts all the year round, and they are famous on the side of the Night Country, and their fame is earlier than Zhao Wu's reputation, and some have been in power for many years without merit and just hanging a false title.
According to the will of the royal family, after the army arrived at Huangyan Pass, everyone was under the supervision of Zhao Wu alone. Zhao Wu can be a local general, but it may not be so easy to be the commander of the three armies and convince all the generals, after all, Zhao Wu can't compare to some of their generals in terms of seniority.
At this time, Zhao Xu's ambush and Zhao Wu's plan to defend the city have been reported to the supervising army, Zhao Xu's command is unfavorable, and Zhao Wu has meritorious service in defending the city, but in the letter, Zhao Wu has already mentioned that Zhao Xu killed the enemy's vanguard general Hong Sihai outside the city, which greatly demoralized the enemy's army.
After learning about the whole story, the prison soldier did not intend to punish Zhao Xu, but continued to marshal Zhao Wu. The practice of supervising the army can be regarded as giving Zhao Wu face, of course, it is necessary to make Zhao Wu willing to serve the royal family, otherwise Zhao Xu's command is not conducive to losing 20,000 soldiers at one time, which must be a serious crime, and it will be dismissed and investigated, and beheaded at worst.
After continuing to learn that Zhao Wu defeated the enemy army that night and nearly annihilated the enemy's cavalry camp, the overseer army also congratulated Zhao Wu. At this moment, the royal overseer was sitting in a carriage drawn by four horses, and the decoration of the carriage was extremely luxurious, much more magnificent than the carriage that the commander of the Snow Army was sitting in that day.
There were a total of four guards around the carriage, and the eight accompanying guards were all personal guards of the prison army, each of whom had the strength of the seventh-order martial cultivators and the strength of the generals in the army, and the four seventh-order martial cultivators gave them guards was enough to show the dignity of the prison army's identity.
Behind the carriage was a group of generals, dozens of people all rode horses, and they drove for two days in a row, and everyone in the whole army was a little tired, but fortunately, they finally arrived at Chengguan, and these generals were waiting for Zhao Wu to pick up the wind and wash the dust for them.
When the army arrived at Chengguan, Zhao Wu took more than a dozen generals to greet him, and Zhao Wu naturally met with the prison army.
Before coming, Zhao Wu had already ordered people to prepare for them to receive the wind and wash the dust, and this prison army also brought a lot of precious ingredients over, so Zhao Wu and the others followed to enjoy a mouthful of blessings.
When the overseer and the generals were rested, the people began to discuss the matter. When they came, the prison army had already inspected the military appearance of the defenders of the city pass, and in front of them were all soldiers who had really experienced life and death battles. The mental outlook of the defenders did not disappoint the supervising army, and during the deliberations in the main hall, the supervising army put forward all Zhao Xu's merits and demerits, and then ordered Zhao Xu to continue to serve as the commander of the third battalion in the way of making up for his crimes.
When it came to the complete victory of the defenders, the prison army and the generals who came with them all congratulated Zhao Wu, causing the snow army to lose one-third of its strength at one time, and more importantly, completely destroying the morale of the snow army.
In front of dozens of generals, the supervising army took out the imperial edict and read out the will to appoint Zhao Wu as the commander of the three armies. As soon as the edict came out, the generals of the defending army were overjoyed, and their generals and officers entered a grade, and their status naturally rose with the tide.
This move of the prison army is enough to show that it has the right to execute rewards and punishments on behalf of the royal family, and of course, the prison army rewards those who have made meritorious contributions in order to motivate those generals who have come. Sure enough, after the prison army rewarded them on a large scale, those generals had the idea of making meritorious contributions, whether out of envy or jealousy.
After the reward was over, the prison army talked to Zhao Wu and others about attacking the Snow Army's camp, and as the victorious side, they had already gained the advantage of being the active party. If the best time to send troops should be yesterday, it is a pity that the soldiers of the whole army are sleepy and lack of horses to clean up the battlefield, and many people are bent on the celebration banquet in the evening, so they cannot send troops.
On the other hand, although the Snow Army is weak, after all, it still has an advantage in numbers, and once the Snow Army is chased and provoked to provoke the Snow Army soldiers to cause a return attack, it will be unfavorable to his own side, so after taking into account all factors, Zhao Wu plans to wait for the reinforcements to arrive before discussing.
After Zhao Wu expressed his views and decisions, many new generals thought that Zhao Wu was afraid and missed the opportunity, and many people felt that Zhao Wu's approach was very right, and the defenders should indeed rest well after a night of hard fighting. Of course, no matter what they think, only the prison army and Zhao Wu can decide to send troops now, of course, Zhao Wu is the commander of the three armies, and the tiger talisman for transferring troops and generals has been obtained, and Zhao Wu alone can decide all the big and small affairs in the army.
Out of politeness, Zhao Wu really made the decision to ask the opinion of the prison army, but the prison army sent by the royal family did not seem to know much about the war, and quickly pushed the question of when to send troops to Zhao Wu next.
Zhao Wu knew that the other party did not mean to rush to war according to the tone of the supervising army, so he simply analyzed the situation of the two armies for the supervising army at the moment, and pointed out their respective advantages and disadvantages.
After Zhao Wu analyzed the current situation of the two sides, the supervisor could hear the idea of the main battle in Zhao Wu's words, but he had just arrived, and he didn't want to start a war with the snow army so soon, so the final decision was handed over to Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu understood the human situation and understood the intentions of the supervising army, and only said that he was allowed to think about it again, and did not set the date for leaving the army. As for the other generals, some are willing to fight in a hurry, and some just want to avoid the battle and rest, and their opinions are different. When Zhao Wu asked them for their opinions, General Yigan gave two answers.
The first is that the army will rest for another day, the reinforcements of the snow army will not arrive in a short time or that the snow army has no reinforcements at all, so it is not too late to rest for one more day to let the reinforcements have a good rest, and the second is to send people to investigate the situation of the snow army's camp at this time, and then discuss the matter of when to send the army through the news.
The hearts of the people are not aligned, and Zhao Wu saw this from the opinions of those generals. Today, the 150,000 army arrived in Chengguan, and the materials still need to be dispatched, and how to arrange the 150,000 army is also a problem, Zhao Wu ordered many people to be responsible for the preparation of the army, and then Zhao Wu did not mention it about when to send troops.
At the end of the meeting, the people of the night army were stable, and it was easy for more than 200,000 troops to destroy the current snow army, especially when the snow army did not even have cavalry, and many people in the whole army became impetuous, and the arrival of reinforcements was not necessarily a good thing for Zhao Wu.
During the discussion between Zhao Wu and them, Qing Yi had already settled in the camp with the help of Fei Yu. Now I live in the area where the commanders live, each person has a house, and the food is all provided by special people. As long as you register, Qingyi's eating and drinking will not be a problem.
Because of the current vacancy, Qingyi happens to live next to Feiyu, and the other houses on the same floor are occupied and some are empty, but each room is fully equipped. There were two beds, tables and chairs, and they were much cleaner than those where ordinary soldiers lived.
Under Fei Yu's introduction, Qing Yi knew more about the accommodation area, and the less repulsive he felt about joining the army. Accompanied by Fei Yu, Qingyi is very able to adapt to the current situation. It's just that he hasn't been able to go back from morning to night, which makes Qingyi very anxious, and he has been thinking about Lin Xuanzhong's situation.
It was getting late and late, and when he was not worried about Lin Xuanzhong, Qingyi asked Feiyu to take him to Lin Xuanzhong.
At this moment, at Lin Xuanzhong's place, Ming Buregret has not come back, but fortunately, the Da Niu brothers are here at the moment.
When Qing Yi and Fei Yu arrived, the two sides greeted each other, and Qing Yi asked Lin Xuanzhong about today's food and accommodation.
After learning that everything was okay, he was relieved, sitting opposite Lin Xuanzhong, Qing Yi couldn't help but think of the picture he saw Zhao Wu today, and always felt that Lin Xuanzhong had the same temperament as Zhao Wu, but Qing Yi couldn't figure out where it was.
Feiyu on the side regarded Lin Xuanzhong and the three of them as Qingyi's friends, with a friendly attitude, and did not put on a high show of his identity. After learning that Lin Xuanzhong was not a soldier in the battalion, Fei Yu was surprised by this fact, and didn't understand why the two brothers went to join the army, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't go.
Out of curiosity, Fei Yu even asked Lin Xuanzhong why, but Lin Xuanzhong did not give an accurate answer, because when he was alone today, Lin Xuanzhong thought about joining the army again.
If he went to join the army, Lin Xuanzhong felt that he could go to be an infantryman. Because the majority of the infantry is similar in strength, joining the infantry will not be treated differently. If you want to go to the battlefield, with the Eight Desolation Steps, as long as you don't fight with those generals and commanders, there should be no problem to protect yourself.
In addition, according to Lin Xuanzhong's guess, those generals would only do anything to ordinary soldiers if they had no opponents of the same level, so on the battlefield, Lin Xuanzhong felt that he had a good chance of surviving. Now Qingyi and Ming Buregret have both joined the army, like the big bull brothers, no matter what their status is in the army, everything will be subject to the management of the army in the future, and it is difficult for the three of them to meet again.
Since this is the case, Lin Xuanzhong felt that it was best for him to join the army, which was the result of careful consideration. At the beginning, none of the three of them joined the army, so Lin Xuanzhong did not join the army and said in the past, now that the other two have joined the army, Lin Xuanzhong will be isolated if he does not join the army, and he can't let the big bull brothers send food all the time, so joining the army is a road that Lin Xuanzhong must take.
"Qingyi, if Qingfeng is not used to it in other battalions, you can let him come to our arrow camp, our arrow camp is recruiting troops on a large scale, and it is just right for Qingfeng to come!" After exchanging a few words with Lin Xuanzhong, Fei Yu gradually found that Lin Xuanzhong had the intention of joining the army, so he immediately made a proposal.
"If you still don't feel at ease by letting Qingfeng join the Arrow Battalion, then you can also let Qingfeng join your team and let Qingfeng serve you. A commander like us is not a big official but not small either, and the barracks stipulates that we can have two guards. ”
