Chapter 834: The Situation in the Army

In the eyes of those people, if they attack the Night Army again, sooner or later, the army of the Night Kingdom will officially attack the territory of the Yang Kingdom, and at that time, because of the revenge of the Night Army, their situation may not be as good as that of the current people of the former Wing Country.

Last night's night of wind and rain caused everyone in the two cities to endanger themselves, especially after some participants denied the reasons for the defeat explained by the high-ranking personnel of the two cities, Jian Lingshuang and Feng Zicheng and others directly became the sinners of the two cities.

If it weren't for the carelessness of the two city lords and those family lords, their unwillingness to put down their identities to participate in the battle, and their inability to command the battle correctly, causing them to lose the best opportunity to defeat the night army, even if those poisoned people were rescued, they would not have been defeated.

In addition, according to those people, the death of many family members has a lot to do with the high-level of the two sides, if it weren't for the fact that no one could deal with Lin Xuanzhong, they would not have been defeated in the end, or they would not have been defeated. When the real reason for the defeat of the two sides spread quickly in the two cities, as the main people of the action, Jian Lingshuang and Feng Zicheng and others were directly called "sinners", and one by one they were not only held accountable by the personnel of their respective clans, but also their original status was shaken, and they were even pointed out by Wanfu in their respective cities.

After Jian Lingshuang and Feng Zicheng and others lost power, those who were originally not in favor of fighting with the Night Army surfaced, while blaming Jian Lingshuang and Feng Zicheng and others for their sins, while preaching the consequences of making enemies with the Night Kingdom, for which some people also wanted to take advantage of the situation to take the place of Jian Lingshuang and Feng Zicheng and others. In the face of a real crisis, those family forces are more inclined to their own survival than to the interests of the country.

Less than a day after last night's attack, both the Sword City and the Lockdown City have been in turmoil, and they are gradually divided into two opposing sides as to whether to continue to take revenge on the Night Army. However, the Gu Army is different from those family forces, and the purpose of their coming here is precisely to eliminate the Night Army, so that the Night Army cannot attack the eastern border of their Gu Country by Dao Yangguo.

After the failure of last night's operation, General Zhang had already apologized to Shangguan Hong for the first time, and it was their fault that they failed to deal a strong blow to the 100,000 night troops last night. As long as Emperor Yang is willing to transfer troops and recruit local forces, he will soon be able to form another army with more than 100,000 men, and then the two sides will work together to deal with the night army, which is already less than 100,000 people.

Although the cooperation between the Gu army and the local forces of Yangguo failed this time, the Qingyuan great power did see the loss of the night army, and General Zhang's statement was very convincing, and Yangguo could indeed form an army of more than 100,000 people in a short period of time. In addition, Gu Jun came from afar, with a clear purpose, and never wanted to return empty-handed.

Now that the night army is lone and deep, after the sword city, as long as the sword city side breaks the road, the night army has nowhere to retreat, and it is blocked in the west, south, and north directions, and there is a big river blocking the road in the east, and the night army is now unable to fly. Shangguan Hong understood the situation of the night army, so he was willing to give General Zhang a chance.

After agreeing to General Zhang's proposal, Shangguan Hong once again pressured Emperor Yang to issue a summons ordering all the people of Yang to fight against the Night Army.

Recently, Shangguan Hong not only completely controlled Emperor Yang, but even controlled some of the ministers of military aircraft, under the threat of Shangguan Hong, Emperor Yang could only act according to orders, watching the Qingyuan Great Power use them against the Night Army. The despicable methods of the Qingyuan great power are related to the life and death of millions of people in the Yang Kingdom, but the Yang Emperor has no ability to change the pattern.

After blindly choosing to give in, Emperor Yang, who originally planned to truly ally with the Night Kingdom, has become a puppet and no longer has the real power to control the Yang Kingdom. Not only that, but that deep sense of guilt made Emperor Yang feel more and more powerless, and a good country had fallen into this situation, which can only be said to be the trend of the situation.

Even without the despicable methods of Ambassador Qingyuan, when the Qingyuan power sent troops, the situation of Yangguo would still not be much better, but now Emperor Yangguo does not even have the ability to decide the survival of Yangguo.

And when Emperor Yang issued the summons, two days had passed since that night's battle. After two days of rest, the state of the night army gathered in one place gradually improved.

After discussing with Lin Xuanzhong that morning, Fang Quyin did his best to inform Zhao Xu of their current situation. Without reinforcements, their situation would be dire.

Two days later, they had already received a message from Zhao Xu using the winged bird. In addition to using political means to put pressure on Yang Guo, asking Yang Guo to stop attacking the night army and provide all assistance to the night army, all he can do for the time being is to remind Fang Quyin and Lin Xuanzhong to stabilize the army's morale as much as possible, so as to wait for reinforcements. As for when the reinforcements will arrive, Zhao Xu can't give a conclusive conclusion at this time.

It is worth mentioning that after receiving Fang Quyin's letter asking for help, Zhao Xu, who had been worried that it would be a mistake to send troops to the Gu Congress as soon as possible, realized that it was indeed a huge mistake to use the road to raise the country. Now not only could the original purpose not be achieved, but the 60,000 elite of the Night Army, including the two main generals, were also in danger, and Zhao Xu had to admit his mistake. The situation in the Wing Country was already chaotic, and now it is even more chaotic.

On the other side, after receiving Zhao Xu's timely reply, Fang Quyin and Lin Xuanzhong both had an unexpected feeling that before being attacked by Yang Guo and Gu Guo again, it was unlikely that they would wait for reinforcements, so now they could only wait for reinforcements while fending for themselves.

In the past two days, hundreds of seriously wounded personnel in the battalion have died one after another because of the lack of timely medical treatment, while some of the other seriously injured personnel have improved their injuries, and some have worsened.

While the situation of the former army was improving, food, grass and medicine gradually became a major problem. In the absence of assistance from the Yangs, the existing grain and grass can only last for another ten days, and after ten days, the grain and grass will become a major problem. Once a soldier is unable to eat and drink normally, not only will the morale of the whole army be affected, but it may also cause more serious problems.

In terms of medicines, the remaining medicines are no longer enough to fight another big battle, and if they cannot be replenished in time, it is better not to go to war with foreign enemies. Faced with the current situation, the generals had a headache. With no outside support in a short period of time, some generals mentioned the suggestion of taking the lockdown as soon as possible.

The closure is closer than several camps in Jiancheng, and it is easier to capture the closure compared to the terrain, and now there are large siege equipment in the army, as well as a certain amount of grain and grass, which can last until the closure is captured. Once the lockdown is captured, the number of reinforcements they are waiting for will expand indefinitely.

Regarding the suggestion of attacking the blockade, Fang Quyin discussed it with Lin Xuanzhong and others, combined with the excessive number of wounded in the army, and the fact that there was a Gu army in the rear, after analyzing the pros and cons, the generals still felt that it was safer to stay in the current camp, or wait for the wounded to be better before attacking the city. As for the food problem, we can rely on the fierce beasts in the mountains and the fish in the river not far away.

After the battle that night, Lin Xuanzhong's rule over the new army, which is now less than 30,000, has been greatly enhanced, not only because Lin Xuanzhong fulfilled the promise of that day, but also because he has saved the lives of many people.

One-third of the original twelve generals were killed in battle, and the dozens of lieutenants lost nearly half of their personnel, and on the side of the new army, the remaining strength was only two-thirds of the original one. However, the new army is far more united than before, because they were born and died together, the kind of suspicion from different countries has disappeared, and under the leadership of Lin Xuanzhong, the soldiers of the three countries are even more united than the soldiers from the same country, so it can be said that the new army is developing in a good direction.

It's a pity that the more this is the case, the more Lin Xuanzhong feels sorry for those people. At present, they are indeed alive and well, but they may die at any time, and this situation is not a good thing for anyone. Whenever he was patrolling the wounded area, Lin Xuanzhong was worried that the people below would not be able to withstand this kind of pressure.

And in the past two days, Lin Xuanzhong's deeds of saving the three armies with his own strength have spread in two military camps. Killing dozens of high-level martial cultivators with the power of sixth-order martial cultivators, fighting alone against eighth-order martial cultivators without dying, and turning the tide to change the overall situation, any one of which made Lin Xuanzhong not lose the name of "the first fierce general".

Fearing the strong is the law of survival in the Beiming Continent, and now Lin Xuanzhong has become a strong man that many people need to fear, coupled with Lin Xuanzhong's identity as the main general, many people have realized that in the near future, Lin Xuanzhong will become the commander of the army on the Weizhen side, so being able to serve Lin Xuanzhong can also make them have a bright future, so many people also regard Lin Xuanzhong as their hope for survival.

One by one, they knew that they were in danger but were still full of confidence in survival, because as long as they were with Lin Xuanzhong, they could feel the hope of living, and those people's respect for Lin Xuanzhong had reached a very high level.

All in all, after several tests, from the general to the soldiers, in front of Lin Xuanzhong, everyone no longer felt that Lin Xuanzhong was prejudiced against them because of their respective identities and backgrounds. In front of Lin Xuanzhong, they only knew that under military law, they treated everyone equally. Lin Xuanzhong's words at the beginning have become an important force that unites the new army.

In the past two days, in addition to thinking about the current location of the army, Lin Xuanzhong thought most about the scene of fighting with the lockdown city lord that night. Every time he thought of this, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't be sure whether the other party was intentional to show mercy that night, or whether he escaped death with his own strength. The situation at that time was so urgent that no matter how he thought about it, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't think it through, but one thing is certain, some time before the two fought, Feng Zicheng really didn't exert his full strength.

Feng Zicheng's deliberate temptation was one of the reasons why Lin Xuanzhong survived, so when he thought of this, Lin Xuanzhong always didn't know whether to hate those who attacked the camp, or to be grateful to them, in short, the actions of those people made him carry a heavier burden of sin and burden.
