Chapter 582: Heading to Qu City

When Zhao Xu talked about the many factors that could win the decisive battle, there was one thing that everyone agreed on, the rain that day was not in Ruan Qiling's consideration, and it was also not in Zhao Xu's expectations, but the rain brought victory to the night army, but it brought defeat to the wing army, it can be said that the heavens favor the night country more.

The more he thought about it, the more Lin Xuanzhong felt sorry for what happened to Ruan Qiling, not only because Ruan Qiling was the commander of the Wing Kingdom, but also because Ruan Qiling was an eighth-order martial cultivator. He didn't know when he would be able to reach the height of Ruan Qiling in the realm, but Lin Xuanzhong knew very well that a sixth-order martial cultivator like himself could die on the battlefield at any time.

Lying on the bed, Lin Xuanzhong felt a lot, and thought about it for a long time before falling asleep. Early the next morning, just after washing up, I was invited to the morning banquet prepared by Qi Lianhai. At the breakfast banquet, Qi Lianhai clearly said that he hoped that a part of the night army could be stationed in the city to protect the safety of Shiyan City. Of course, during the night army garrison, Qi Lianhai, as the city lord, will try his best to provide all conveniences for the night army.

In the face of Qi Lianhai's request, Yan Nantian did not reply directly, because at first Zhao Xu did not let them garrison troops in the Wing Country. However, according to the current situation, Yan Nantian has plans to garrison, after all, the Wing Kingdom has been captured by them, and Shiyan City can become a new garrison for the Night Army.

After making some plans, Yan Nantian naturally did not directly refuse Qi Liuhai, but just asked for a little more time to think about it, so as to have time to consult Zhao Xu. If Zhao Xu agreed, then garrisoning troops in Shiyan City would be of great benefit to the Night Army.

At the end of the breakfast banquet, Yan Nantian gathered all the generals together to discuss how to send troops to various places to collect grain. According to the information provided by Qi Lianhai, the plan for dividing the troops has been determined, and now Yan Nantian has to discuss with the generals how to distribute the troops.

Because of the different conditions of the cities to be visited, there are naturally certain differences in the division of troops between the parties, of course, the route will not change, to the west, southwest, northwest a total of three directions.

After a period of time, when the problem of troop distribution was solved, Yan Nantian had to determine the leaders of the three routes. Most of the nine generals below are newly promoted generals, but there are also generals with certain qualifications, and on the whole, it is more conducive to selecting suitable personnel by recommendation.

As a wolf general, Lin Xuanzhong was fortunate to be selected as the commander of the road, with Xing Hu under his command and another unfamiliar general, Wang Yiyan. Except for Lin Xuanzhong, the other two were naturally seventh-order martial cultivators, and they were going to the northwest. From Shiyan City to Qucheng to Qincheng, and then to Liucheng to join forces with other teams and return to Shiyan City.

Qucheng and Qincheng are both small border towns, and their geographical location is more remote than Shiyan City, whether they can obtain a certain amount of materials from those two small cities, Lin Xuanzhong is still uncertain, but his identity as a commander can no longer be shirked.

After a meeting discussed how to divide the army and levy food, in the afternoon of the same day, as the commander of an army, Lin Xuanzhong set off straight to the northwest with all the soldiers in his headquarters.

As they passed through Stone Rock Castle, many civilians stared at the Night Army with a hostile gaze, and of course the fear in their eyes was most obvious. In the face of a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding strong spears, all pedestrians on the road chose to give way. If it weren't for the city lords of Stone Rock City trying their best to protect them, the situation for these civilians might have been even worse now.

However, in this case, they still have to try their best to show that they are afraid of the night army, which is not easy for many backbone civilians to do, after all, it is the night army that directly puts them in the current situation.

Of course, in essence, it is not the fault of the Night Army that they are in the current situation, if you really want to say it, it is their Yiguo who sent troops to recruit the Night Army first, so it is they who are at fault first. All in all, in the final analysis, the blame can only be blamed on the current situation, and it is the current situation that puts both sides in the current situation, which is a fact that neither side is powerless to change.

The only way for civilians to truly resolve the hatred between the two sides is to consider this, and the sooner they understand the situation before them, the sooner they can see it.

After leaving Shiyan City, the road is no longer so easy to walk, the road has become narrow, not to mention, the path has increased. Fortunately, Qi Lianhai was thoughtful and specially found a guide for Lin Xuanzhong. With that guide leading the way, at least you don't have to worry about going the wrong way. And when you go to the wilderness area, it is safer to take the main road.

The border area between the two countries is an area where fierce beasts are active, and this place is not far from the Beast Ridge Pass, so on the way to Qucheng, Lin Xuanzhong has to worry about whether he will encounter groups of fierce beasts, not some strong bandits.

Before leaving, Qi Lianhai said that the problem of beasts on the edge of the canal city was serious, and there was a bandit problem in Qincheng, and the two situations were the reasons why Yan Nantian gave all the personnel of Lin Xuanzhong's headquarters. Compared with the other two teams, it is naturally the team led by Lin Xuanzhong that is more powerful.

More than 3,000 people, on the road a few meters wide, the line was very long, walking in front of the queue, next to Lin Xuanzhong were two generals and the guide, and behind them were Yu Tong and other adjutant generals.

That guide's name was Li Shuangxi, just an ordinary martial arts cultivator, walking side by side with Lin Xuanzhong and others, and his heart was extremely nervous. As long as Lin Xuanzhong and the others didn't ask for directions, Li Shuangxi would never dare to take the initiative to talk to someone. It is about fifty miles to Qucheng, if the pace is faster, before nightfall, the army can rush to the vicinity of Qucheng, after all, they are all lightly armed, and the marching speed is very fast.

"General Lin, the City Lord of Qi said that there will be fierce beasts on the way to Qucheng, why haven't we met one so far?" It was Xing Hu who asked, as a general with an upright personality, Xing Hu has always been straightforward. This time, Lin Xuanzhong can be appointed as the commander, and Xing Hu's credit, Xing Hu has no interest in the position of commander itself, as long as Lin Xuanzhong takes them without making mistakes.

As for the other general, Wang Yiyan is about the same age as Xing Hu, but his personality is much more delicate than Xing Hu, and he is not an easy person to get along with. Of course, in front of Lin Xuanzhong, this person still often has a smiling face.

"Maybe we're lucky!" Shaking his head, Lin Xuanzhong naturally didn't know why they couldn't meet the fierce beast.

"What's the use of being lucky, don't you know, General Lin, that the brothers below are waiting to hunt two fierce beasts for dinner at night," Xing Hu smiled heartily at Lin Xuanzhong, showing that he knew the soldiers below very well.

"I really don't know," laughed with Xing Hu, thinking that the food in the army was indeed not good, and he needed the meat of the fierce beast to add food, Lin Xuanzhong continued: "General Xing, don't worry, the road to Qucheng is still far away, and there will be opportunities to hunt fierce beasts sooner or later." ”

"Does General Lin mean that he doesn't plan to send someone to look around first?" Xing Hu seemed to be very interested in hunting fierce beasts, and couldn't help but indirectly propose to Lin Xuanzhong.

"I understand what General Xing means, but our army has just set off, so we can't consider staying for the time being, so let's wait for the rest to make plans," After thinking about it briefly, thinking back to Yan Nantian's simplicity to himself before leaving, Lin Xuanzhong felt that it was best not to act arbitrarily, and it was important to rush to Qucheng as soon as possible.

"With General Lin's words, Xing is relieved," Xing Hu smiled, then looked at Wang Yiyi next to him and asked, "General Wang, you said yes?"

"Everything is up to General Lin," Wang Yiyi didn't seem to buy Xing Hu's account, and replied with a serious face. Next, the army walked forward for more than ten miles before stopping to rest for a while.

Getting off the horse, Lin Xuanzhong walked to a high ground and looked around, the surroundings were desolate, although they walked on the avenue directly connected by the two cities, but it could be seen that the road they were walking now was usually rarely walked, probably because of the recent war, weeds had grown in many places on the road, and the grass on both sides was extremely tall and pitch black.

In the distance, almost all of them are woods, sparse or dense, and it can be seen that the army is now in the wilderness, and ordinary people naturally do not go through this kind of place.

After taking a good look at the surrounding situation, except for feeling that the area he was in now was a little desolate, Lin Xuanzhong had nothing else to discover, if he wanted to see more things, he had to find a higher place first, but unfortunately there was no nearby.

A quarter of an hour later, the army was on the road again, and when the sun was no longer so strong, there were still people who, despite the large number of people, walked on such a remote road, there was still someone who had a deep feeling of yin. Originally, Xing Hu was expecting to encounter a few fierce beasts, but now Xing Hu was even more worried about the sudden appearance of a group of fierce beasts to attack their army. If you encounter a fierce beast on this section of the road, the long line is difficult to take care of, and it is easy to have a large number of casualties, which Xing Hu does not want to see.

When Xing Hu, Lin Xuanzhong and the others were worried about encountering a dangerous situation, the soldiers below could only rely on more people to cheer them up. In just a few dozen miles, it is far more terrifying than imagined. For Lin Xuanzhong, walking in such an environment, just like going on a mercenary mission at the beginning, may encounter danger at any time.

Inadvertently, Lin Xuanzhong remembered the past again, spring went to autumn, but he didn't expect that a year later, he had become a general. While thinking about Zhang Qi and their current lives, Lin Xuanzhong was also full of emotion.

"General Lin, this is the middle area from Shiyan City to Qu City, it is too remote, and there may be fierce beasts around. In order to prevent a large number of fierce beasts from suddenly rushing out from both sides of the road to disturb our army, General Xing and I might as well go to the rear of the army to protect the safety of the soldiers below at any time," as Lin Xuanzhong was thinking about some things in the past, Wang Yiyi shouted the method he had just thought of, interrupting Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts.

After thinking about it briefly, Lin Xuanzhong felt that Wang Yiyao's suggestion was very feasible and had a good effect on protecting the soldiers below.

"Okay, General Wang and General Xing each took their lieutenants to the middle and rear areas of the army to protect the safety of the soldiers below," Coming back to his senses, Lin Xuanzhong directly ordered as a commander.
