Chapter 246

"The Snowpiercer army has suffered so many casualties, and their most formidable cavalry battalion has been wiped out, and I've heard some generals say that it may not be a long time before the war begins. And when we fight again, our reinforcements have already arrived, and there is no need to be afraid of them at all. Dahu brought some of his own opinions and told the three of them what he knew.

After the big tiger answered, when he thought of the scene of the Snow Army's cavalry camp rushing over that night, that terrible scene, Lin Xuanzhong now remembered that he had palpitations. Unexpectedly, they rode the camp the fastest and died the most, in Lin Xuanzhong's opinion, the Snow Army must have been hit hard this time.

"Then are you still recruiting?" Sitting next to him, Ming Buregret didn't have the heart to listen to Lin Xuanzhong and Dahu discuss the casualties of the Snow Army, Ming Buregret just wanted to know if the Night Army still recruited soldiers.

"I don't know, but if Brother Ming is interested in joining the army, I can help you ask," Dahu couldn't comprehend Ming's mood at the moment, and after thinking about it, he could only reply like this.

When he heard the big tiger say "I don't know", Ming Buregret's heart sank suddenly, but when he heard the content behind, he instantly smiled.

"Then you have to work for you," Ming Buregret nodded with a smile and said, "By the way, there are also Qingyi brothers who also want to join the army." Saying that, Ming did not regret and looked at Lin Xuanzhong again, but Lin Xuanzhong did not speak, and Ming did not regret it, so he could only turn his gaze to the big tiger.

"It turns out that Brother Qingyi also wants to join the army, so I'll help you ask directly when I go back," Da Hu was very happy, he and Da Niu had persuaded the three of them to join the army earlier, and now two of them have finally figured it out, which is naturally a good thing, saying that Da Hu looked at Lin Xuanzhong with a puzzled expression: "What about Brother Qingfeng?"

"I haven't thought about it yet," shaking his head, Lin Xuanzhong replied against his inner thoughts, and then looked at Ming Buregret, Lin Xuanzhong was a little surprised that Ming Buregret suddenly said that he wanted to join the army.

"Brother Ming, why do you want to join the army?" Qingyi on the side asked out of doubt.

"This," Ming Buregret's eyes flickered a little, but he quickly became firm again, "I just figured it out, maybe it's better for me to join the army with you, but I don't understand why Qingfeng is not interested in joining the army?"

It was an ordinary thing, but now I don't regret it, I don't know what's going on, I don't dare to look directly into Lin Xuanzhong's eyes.

"I haven't figured it out yet," Lin Xuanzhong was actually really a little confused about whether joining the army was good or bad, and after thinking about it briefly, Lin Xuanzhong said again: "Brother Ming, let go of this in advance, and wait until I think clearly before making a decision." ”

has been paying attention to the conversation between the three of them, and Dahu already knows at this moment that Lin Xuanzhong has not thought about it yet, so naturally he will not force it.

"Then I'll go back and ask, "Think it's okay to stay here."

What's the matter, Dahu wants to go back and get things done as soon as possible.

"Big Tiger, you just have to go, we are waiting for you here. Ming did not regret it and immediately agreed.

"Okay," Dahu replied with a smile, and then said goodbye to the three of them and left. As soon as the big tiger left, the room instantly quieted down, and after a long time, Lin Xuanzhong discovered an important problem.

"I forgot to ask the big tiger to bring us some food just now!" Lin Xuanzhong looked regretful, as if he had missed a great opportunity.

"It's okay, didn't Da Hu say it, he and Da Niu will come back later," Chang Chang was optimistic and smiled with relief.

"Let's wait for now," Qing Yi followed, as if he wasn't in the mood to eat at the moment.

Not long after, the three of them went back to their respective beds and lay down, and this life similar to house arrest did not know when it would be over. In short, Lin Xuanzhong has no idea whether he can go back in the near future.

On the other side, after Dahu left, he returned to Chengguan without stopping, first finding a commander, and then finding a commander to explain that Qingyi and Ming did not regret joining the army.

Originally, the commander had doubts about the identities of the three people, but after listening to Dahu's serious explanation, because of the relationship between the previous commander who died in battle last night, he put aside the doubts in his heart and asked Dahu to bring the two over tomorrow.

The Night Army does need to be replenished now, and they have already issued a conscription obituary two days ago. Since someone wants to join the army, then the next move.

With the consent of the commander, Dahu went back with a smile. It's already afternoon, and the battlefield has already been cleared, so the next step is how to deal with the corpses of those snow soldiers. There were dozens of corpses outside the city, each of which was as high as the city wall, and the Snow Army, as the defeated party, never came to the Night Army to ask for those corpses.

Placing the corpse in front of the city is considered a deterrent, but it will only be detrimental to his own side if he leaves it for too long, so Zhao Wu has already sent an envoy to send a message with flying arrows. If they don't see the Snow Army coming within two hours, they will burn all the corpses.

As the time for celebration approached, the defenders became more and more happy, but under the constraints of the military order, no one from top to bottom dared to leave the camp and go to the city to have fun. Zhao Wu had a clear military order in front of regulating the behavior of soldiers, and Zhao Xu took the lead in implementing it, so no one dared to disobey.

After last night's battle, Zhao Wu's prestige was even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and more people were willing to follow Zhao Wu's orders.

At this moment, Zhao Wu had already preliminarily set a truce strategy to ensure that there would be no accidents during the truce. In addition, Zhao Wu also received a message from the royal family that reinforcements were on their way and would arrive tomorrow.

What made Zhao Wu care was not when the reinforcements would arrive, but other content, the royal family not only transferred an army, but also a prison army with him. Since ancient times, the supervising army is responsible for supervising the commander of the three armies for the royal family, although Zhao Wu is the chief general of the three armies, but he is not the marshal, so the arrival of this supervising army is of great significance.

According to the content of the letter, Zhao Wu knew that the superintendent was a member of the royal family, and he was an eighth-order martial cultivator, it seemed that the royal family had no doubt about the attack on the Snow Country, and Zhao Wu was more and more sure of some of his original guesses.

As for those incomprehensible places, the prison army will explain themselves, so now Zhao Wu is not in a hurry. However, judging from the content of the letter, Zhao Wu found that the imperial family was going to appoint himself as the commander of the three armies. Without knowing the specific situation at the city gate, the royal family wanted to accept himself as the commander, and Zhao Wu's emotions were a little complicated.

Zhao Wu, who has always been the commander of the three armed forces, has always felt very pressured, and if he is the commander of the three armed forces and leads the troops to fight, the pressure will be even greater than now. However, he Zhao Wu is a border general, if a lifetime of peaceful life passes, it may not be interesting, so Zhao Wu still silently accepted the will of the royal family.

The night army is in a good situation now, but in the camp of the Snow Country army, it is lifeless, and the overseers of the Qingyuan Great Power have repeatedly wanted to repair a letter to the Snow Kingdom royal family to let the royal family send reinforcements, and the letter naturally mentions that Marshal Xu did not think carefully this time, resulting in serious setbacks and heavy losses for the army.

If this letter reaches the royal family of the Snow Country, Xu Tianyi will lose his official title, his reputation will be ruined, and his family will be implicated, so Xu Tianyi simply suppressed the letter with one hand. Although their snow army failed in the siege, it was not to the extent that it was all lost. As long as they make good use of the remaining army, Xu Tianyi still feels that they have a chance to win.

Putting aside Xu Tianyi's thoughts, the morale of the Xue military camp was low, and they were crying from top to bottom, and the atmosphere was very depressing. It's been quite a while since last night's battle, and judging by the performance of the Snow Army, everything is in an unfavorable form.

If the Night Army raised troops to fight, it could completely destroy any defense of the Snow Army, and now the difference in numbers between the two sides is no longer a problem. It's a pity that after last night's battle, there are too many wounded soldiers in the army and they need to rest, and Zhao Wu also wants further information and a plan to annihilate the Snow Army. Even though he knew that the morale of the Xue Army was low now, Zhao Wu still didn't want to move his troops.

There is also a more important point, at the moment the sergeants are not focused on the battle, and forcing the troops will only backfire.

In the past, according to Zhao Wu's orders, a new suspension bridge has been erected on the river outside the city, and the temporary suspension bridge is not as stable as before, but it is enough for them to march. The river below the drawbridge was red, and it had been several hours, and the blood had not yet dissipated in the water.

The water surface was calm, and from a distance, no one would have thought that more than 10,000 people died in the river last night.

And because of last night's battle, the Chengguan officially became a military forbidden place, and even the city's citizens who came to comfort the soldiers were restricted from approaching the Chengguan, Zhao Wu through the knowledge learned from the military book, and was using military regulations to regulate the various behaviors of the soldiers step by step.

No one knew how long the battle would last, so Zhao Wu only wanted to reduce the casualties of his subordinates in future wars. For Zhao Wu, who didn't have much experience, everything was a serious problem.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already evening, and the celebration banquet was held as scheduled, and all the soldiers cheered, and they had nothing else to do tonight, but to eat and drink.

Last night's horses that died in battle will become their meal, usually they can only eat meat once in ten days and half a month, and they are all that kind of meat remnants, not only the portion is limited, the taste is very poor, so today can have horse meat to eat, that is naturally enjoyable. In particular, Zhao Wu also specially brought some, usually military regulations strictly prohibit soldiers from drinking in the camp, how happy they are to have wine tonight.

Before the dinner party began, Zhao Wu ordered people to pour all the corpses outside the city with fire oil, and then directly set fire to it, dozens of fires burst into the sky, crackling sounds, fortunately, the celebration banquet was not held at the city gate, and there was a city wall seven or eight meters high, they couldn't smell the smell.

After leaving some people to watch the city, most of the people were celebrating, and in a large square, ordinary soldiers gathered in fixed numbers and toasted each other.

At the beginning of the celebration banquet, Zhao Wu had no time to eat and drink, and with a smile on his face, he patrolled back and forth in the square full of joy, constantly paying attention to the performance of those soldiers.

After seeing Zhao Wu, the soldiers in the square saluted one after another, vying to come to toast, but Zhao Wu just told them not to be restrained and eat more happily.
