Chapter 562: Out of the Army
"Brother Lin, take care," Yesterday, the two girls only knew that they were leaving after receiving Fang Qing's notice, and they came to see them off this morning, Ling Ziqing had too much reluctance to say about Lin Xuanzhong's departure, and in the end they were all condensed in a "take care". For Ling Ziqing, Lin Xuanzhong left too suddenly.
The arrival of the two girls surprised Lin Xuanzhong so much that he didn't know what to say. In fact, although Lin Xuanzhong doesn't like Ling Ziqing like Ling Ziqing, he also likes it very much, so he is indeed a little reluctant to part with the two sisters at this moment, and of course there are some other emotions.
"Don't worry, we will definitely come back to see you, as long as you are not married by then," it is still Fang Qing who is even more reluctant to the two daughters, and Fang Qing only wants to talk about this matter now.
"What does it matter to you whether you marry or not, you just have to come back alive," he glanced at Fang Qing angrily, at this moment Ling Ziqing couldn't target Fang Qing too much as usual, and there was only a reluctance and a faint sadness on his face as he spoke, and Ling Ziqing on the side was better.
"Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, everyone go back," Ling Zimo had been staying at the gate of the Ling Mansion for a while, Ling Zimo looked at the elders and brothers and sisters behind him, and finally said goodbye, followed by Lin Xuanzhong and the three of them finally exchanged words with the two sisters and turned to leave.
Before leaving, Lin Xuanzhong deliberately glanced back, and crossed the crowd to see Ling Ziyu standing at the back. The two looked at each other for a long time before Lin Xuanzhong slowly turned around. Same as the previous thoughts, I don't know when the two will meet today.
After leaving the Ling family, along the direction to the camp, the eight people talked as they walked, and Ling Zimo introduced the other four to Lin Xuanzhong and the three of them one by one, but there was no need to introduce Lin Xuanzhong and the three to the four people, because the people of the Ling family knew something about the three of them.
After getting to know each other, it is natural to talk casually one by one. At Ling Zimo's request, Fang Qing and Ni Youbin took turns talking about the daily affairs in the army and some things during the war. In fact, according to Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts, Ling Zimo and the others don't have much to learn, as long as they can survive on the battlefield at a critical time. Of course, once they enter the army, their son-in-law status will no longer exist, and obeying military orders is what they should do.
The time for Ling Zimo and the five to join the army was unfortunate, now is the stage of confrontation between the night army and the wing army, once they are incorporated into the army, they may go to the battlefield to participate in the battle at any time. And after entering the army, the five will be farther and farther away from personal freedom.
"Huh......" A few people walked and walked, and Zhang Jiutian suddenly rode out of a street corner and stopped directly in front of several people.
"Zhang Jiutian, why are you on the street?" When Lin Xuanzhong guessed that Zhang Jiutian was here to find him, Fang Qing had already asked first.
"Last night, Yan Nantian, the commander of the arrow battalion, arrived at the barracks and brought an order to transfer troops, and asked us to rush to the border as soon as possible. In the night, General Yan officially took over the army, and took most of the people away in advance, leaving only some people responsible for evacuating the supplies, the material team has left this morning, and I came to the general as soon as possible after taking charge of the rest of the matter. ”
"We're going to the camp, it seems that we don't need to go now," nodded at Zhang Jiutian, thinking that Zhang Jiutian was here to let him go back to the barracks, but now that the army had left, Lin Xuanzhong was really a little surprised.
"Then general, let's hurry as soon as possible, we can catch up with the material team in front of us now, and General Yan has made it clear that the general will catch up with them as soon as possible with the material team. Zhang Jiutian got off the horse and explained the situation to Lin Xuanzhong.
"Well," he had already taken the scabbard from the road just now, and Ni Youbin had redeemed the sword, now there was nothing else to do, and the salute was all on his body, Lin Xuanzhong felt that there was no need to go back to the camp.
Next, according to Zhang Jiutian's proposal, the group went to buy a few horses, and using them to travel is much more comfortable than walking, and the most important thing is that their speed will be greatly accelerated.
After leaving the windless city, the nine people rushed straight in the direction of the border pass, all the way, and quickly caught up with the material team in front. The material team is transporting grain and grass, there are hundreds of carts, escorted by thousands of soldiers, and now Lin Xuanzhong is responsible for the escort of these grains and grass.
In front of the team, Lin Xuanzhong found Yu Tong and Zhang Jiutian, and then the first thing was to arrange the belonging of Ling Zimo and others, at present, Lin Xuanzhong's position could not directly give Ling Zimo and others any position, but he couldn't always bring a few people with him, so for the time being, he could only let a few people change into military uniforms and stay in the army as ordinary soldiers.
What made Lin Xuanzhong happy was that, according to Yu Tong, there were not many strong martial cultivators among the recruits, and the five brothers of the Ling family could at least be assigned to the position of chief, but after joining with the previous army, they could ask for instructions on the main generals above and completely record the information of a few people, as for which part Ling Zimo and the others would be compiled to, it all depends on the above arrangement.
Yu Tong's statement allowed Lin Xuanzhong to do other things with confidence, and temporarily let the five people escort the supplies with ordinary soldiers, and the horses that the five people originally rode were now confiscated as tools for pulling carts, and there were many soldiers in the escort team on horseback, but those people all had special positions. After settling the five Ling Zimo, Lin Xuanzhong took Ni Youbin and Fang Qing to walk in front of the team, while Yu Tong and Zhang Jiutian walked next to the three.
Yu Tong repeated the transfer of troops in the army last night, from Yan Nantian to take over the new army, to the departure of the army before and after, and some of the current situation at the border pass, Yu Tong told Lin Xuanzhong in detail.
Yan Nantian and Fang Quyin are both the main generals of the Arrow Battalion, but they are slightly inferior to Fang Quyin in terms of fame, but it is naturally very suitable for a master to take over 30,000 recruits in the future. Now the front army is rushing to the border as fast as possible with only a limited number of rations, so their team responsible for escorting the grain cannot be slow.
It was a two- or three-day journey from Winless City to Beast Ridge Pass, and it was still relatively difficult to transport grain and grass, but compared to fighting, the march was a relatively comfortable thing. Now that Snow Country has been completely annexed by the Night Country, there is no need to worry about running into trouble as long as you take a safe route during the march.
After communicating with Yu Tong for a period of time, Lin Xuanzhong already had a full understanding of the current situation. At present, the enemy army at the border pass is only 160,000 people, and the night army still outnumbered the wing army in terms of total numbers. If you look at the strength of the army, the night army has a better chance of winning, but according to Yu Tong, the wing army is good at using the characteristics of fierce beast attacks to weaken the night army's strength advantage.
Of course, now Lin Xuanzhong can still think that the reason why Zhao Xu has not transferred the 30,000 new troops in Windless City for a long time has a lot to do with the strength of the two sides, even if the 30,000 new soldiers do not go, the number of the border night army is not less than that of the wing army. Now it seems that the final battle between the two sides is not about the number of people, but the level of tactics. I don't know what kind of strategy the Wing Army will use against the Night Army, but the casualties are really difficult to estimate.
The last time the front army was attacked by beasts, although Lin Xuanzhong was not at the scene, the fact that the Wing Army almost annihilated the 30,000 Night Army without spending a single soldier still made Lin Xuanzhong afraid of the Wing Army. Thinking about how many generals were buried in the belly of the fierce beast last time, Lin Xuanzhong knew that with his own strength, if he encountered a similar situation, it would be difficult to escape, so now he could only count on Zhao Xu.
If Zhao Xu could still have the same outstanding ability as he did last time he presided over the battle of Windy City, maybe the sacrifice of the Night Army would be smaller. It's a pity that Yu Tong doesn't know about some of the above specific situations, and Lin Xuanzhong has no way of knowing.
In fact, how to fight the decisive battle with the Wing Army is not a problem that Lin Xuanzhong needs to consider, Lin Xuanzhong is just concerned about the life and death of many people.
Under the narration of Yu Tong and Zhang Jiutian, Lin Xuanzhong knew more and more things, and gradually had a feeling of being entangled in military affairs, and his mind naturally slowly shifted to the military. While talking about the military situation with the two of them, while considering the current situation, Lin Xuanzhong was not lonely at all on the way to the march.
At the same time, at the border pass, Zhao Xu and the other generals had already prepared countermeasures to deal with various attacks by the wing army. Before the Wing Army officially attacked, it was still the same as before, and the Night Army was always paying attention to the movements of the Wing Army.
Recently, the Wing Army has been moving around, constantly guiding the direction of all kinds of fierce beasts to attract the attention of the Night Army, the Wing Army is more to bring the fierce beasts together, but not to the Night Army camp, so in the past few days, the number of fierce beasts around the Night Army camp has increased, but there has been no sign of attacking the camp.
The behavior of the Wing Army has attracted enough attention from the Night Army, and in terms of preventing the attack of fierce beasts, Zhao Xu and the generals have made great efforts, collecting information and discussing how to deal with those fierce beasts. Now the first point of view of Zhao Xu and the generals is to face the fierce beast, not to choose to retreat. If the Beast Problem can be solved, then the victory in the decisive battle with the Winged Army is likely to increase.
In terms of dealing with fierce beasts, Zhao Xu has recently gotten some advice from the invited beast trainers. If the army does not withdraw, it can cause chaos when the beasts gather. Based on this, the trainer has made a few suggestions, which can be roughly divided into two aspects. The first is to force the beasts to kill each other, and the second is to use material resources to cause conflicts between various beasts, such as using those things that can stimulate the ferocity of the beasts. If used correctly, the Night Army can neutralize the potential threat to the beasts in one fell swoop.
After getting the treasure advice from the beast trainer, in the past few days, Zhao Xu and the generals were not at all afraid of the Wing Army using the fierce beast attack again, but were waiting for the Wing Army to gather all the fierce beasts. Once the beast problem is solved, Zhao Xu will directly attack the Wing Army.
In the battle of Windy City, the Night Army not only won, but also let Zhao Xu know some of the situation of the Wing Army. It can be said that the combat power of the Wing Army is very ordinary, and if it can be faced head-on, as long as the terrain of both sides is the same, then the Night Army has a good chance of winning. At present, the military that Zhao Xu discussed with the generals was mainly how to deal with the wing army after solving the problem of the fierce beast.
