Chapter 225

Since ancient times, besieging a city has not been a good task, so if the Snow Country wants to take the city pass at one time and annihilate the tens of thousands of night troops in the city, I am afraid that the number of casualties will not be lower than the number of night soldiers they killed, so the Snow Country army will also have their deployment before the siege, as for how to deploy it, both sides will depend on the situation.

At present, the most important thing before the war is to find out the details of the enemy's army, and only then can we formulate a policy. If the war between the two countries was a war of aggression that Snow Country itself had been planning for a long time, then Snow Country must have arranged in advance to respond in the city, but the war happened too quickly, and Snow Country simply did not have time to make such a careful arrangement, so it was difficult for them to figure out the situation in the city now.

Previously, during the march of the Snow Army, they first passed through a wilderness, from the plains to the woodland, and the road became narrower and narrower, and the army of the Snow Country stretched for a long time. In front were cavalry, in the middle were archers, and in the back were infantry. The men responsible for transporting grain and grass were between the archers and the infantry.

The 150,000-strong army carried a lot of baggage, and each of the mammoths that carried the baggage was extremely strong, and the whole marching team was orderly and vigorous.

When they marched to the place where they had ambushed the Night Nation army last night, the ground was a little damp, and the pungent smell of the dirt mixed with the smell of blood in the air was very unpleasant, and many soldiers couldn't help but cover their noses.

But when everyone knew that this was the place where they had slaughtered the enemy army, they let go one by one, and instead looked proud. It's a pity that the corpses piled up together have been removed, otherwise the morale of the hundreds of thousands of troops will swell again after seeing their results.

In addition, the snow army did not encounter a single fierce beast during the march, and it was obvious that the fierce beasts around the battlefield were afraid of the formation of the large army and did not dare to approach.

On the second watch, the army of Snow Country all stopped and set up camp. Attacking a city may not be possible in a short period of time, so they need to rest their camp.

By the time the tents had been set up and the rest had been separated, it was getting dark, and everyone was ordered to rest for two hours. For Wu Xiu, two hours is no more and no less, not to mention that the Snow Country soldiers have been resting well for the past few days.

Three hours later, the sky was bright, and the marshal of the Snow Army once again appointed General Hong as the vanguard, and went to call for battle with an army of 50,000. It is used to test the condition of the enemy army, and the marshal will also go with him. The other 100,000 troops, led by the superintendent, set out half an hour after the departure of the front army, and then stopped ten miles from the front army, ready to meet the front army at any time.

At the same time, in Huangyan City, Zhao Wu had already received the news that the enemy army was stationed thirty miles away from Chengguan. The movements of the snow army were very fast, so that Zhao Wu understood that the snow army would come to attack the city earlier than expected, so Zhao Wu arranged troops on the city early in the morning, with three steps and one post.

Just as a precaution, Zhao Wu didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. Early this morning, Zhao Wu gathered all the generals together to discuss the matter. Now that the enemy is coming to attack the city, they must discuss all countermeasures.

After Zhao Wu went back yesterday, he thought about how to find out the gap, and in order to make his plan successful, Zhao Wu specially arranged for someone to monitor the seven generals.

People who are not interstitial have a clear conscience and naturally do not want to be monitored, but they understand that these are extraordinary times, and some things should still focus on the overall situation.

The reason why he sent people to monitor the seven people was to ensure that there would be no accidents on his side before the start of the big war. Of course, the person in charge of monitoring only needs to monitor whether the seven people have any external contact, so there is nothing wrong with Zhao Wu's behavior in the end. Under surveillance, even if there was a gap among the seven, this person would never dare to pass on the news to the Snow Army in private.

Lin Xuanzhong's side, after a night's rest, the injured Ming Wuregret's situation has improved greatly, and the others are even more energetic. Lin Xuanzhong and the three of them had already considered joining the army last night, and if they were sure that there was no other choice, they could only join the army. First, the identity problem can be solved, and second, life will be better.

Early in the morning, there was the sound of drills everywhere, and there was a large open space in the place where they rested, dedicated to the training of the soldiers, and the defenders had given up the place to the border troops.

Yesterday, Zhao Wu's strategy worked, and as the night passed, these soldiers who had fled from the desert by the Snow Army gradually cheered up, and many people spontaneously went to the training ground to practice, striving to improve their strength a little more, and then avenging the dead brothers when the two sides went to war, so although there was no one to guide them, those soldiers practiced very seriously.

The more and more people gathered on the training ground, the shouting became louder and louder, and the sound spread far and wide. After breakfast, there was nothing to do, and after a few people chatted, the big bull brothers suggested going outside, which was good for the mood and body.

In the past, when he was in the mercenary team, Lin Xuanzhong heard Zhang Qi and them say that moderate practice can speed up the recovery of physical injuries, so after a brief discussion, Lin Xuanzhong and Qingyi directly accepted the proposal of the big bull brothers.

Ming Buregret himself also has no opinion, and it is good to go out and have a look, so the five of them left the house like this.

Coming to the huge training ground, those people in front of several people spared no effort to practice their fighting and defensive moves, treating their own people as opponents. The casual practice feels more powerful than the usual group exercises.

There are some officers on the training ground who are doing moderate instruction, but do not interfere with the soldiers practicing on their own, and there are many divisions on all the training grounds. Threes, threes, twos, twos, and many martial cultivators used the way they usually trained to do more attacks on the battlefield, and no one shouted tired, and some just shouted that some people persevered to the end.

After a brief observation, instead of looking for others to cooperate, several people simply found a place to practice as they wanted. The big bull brothers are practicing their basic moves, which are simple and easy to understand, and gathering energy and exerting force are the main characteristics of those moves.

Seeing that the things that the two of them practiced were all learned during practice, Lin Xuanzhong was not interested in watching more, and instead practiced the set of boxing techniques taught by Ye Yun at the beginning, a total of thirteen styles.

Every movement was so familiar, as if Ye Yun was still by his side, smiling and pointing out his shortcomings, and soon Lin Xuanzhong entered the state, and kept playing a set of punches.

Recalling the characteristics of boxing, Lin Xuanzhong slowly pondered the moves he practiced, hoping to improve his boxing skills. Under continuous thinking, the practice of boxing became more and more clear, no matter what other people were doing, Lin Xuanzhong was focused on boxing.

The speed is getting faster and faster, and it will soon reach the effect of a burst of punches. He has long memorized the moves of boxing, and now that he is practicing, Lin Xuanzhong can feel the characteristics of boxing even more. Boxing is the basic skill of martial arts training, one move and one style move and move the whole body, the more you practice the qi and blood of the whole body, the smoother it is.

When Lin Xuanzhong was concentrating on boxing, Qingyi and Ming Buregret had a brief conversation, and then each practiced their own martial arts. Qing Yi's attainments in martial arts are much higher than Lin Xuanzhong's, and he has been personally taught by a middle-aged team leader for many years, and Qing Yi knows more than Lin Xuanzhong in terms of martial arts insights.

As a fifth-order martial cultivator, all the people in the meeting are already proficient, and it can be said that their own martial arts have become their own routine.

Seeing that a few people practiced so seriously, affected by the atmosphere, Ming Buregret had some skills, although he couldn't force his true qi, but it was still not difficult to play a set of martial arts like Lin Xuanzhong, and he felt that he would practice better than Lin Xuanzhong.

After joining without regrets, all five of them entered the state, and they formed a scenery on the training ground.

After a period of time, the big bull brothers, who had been practicing the basic moves, stopped, and looked at the three people who kept practicing martial arts, and the big bull and the big tiger felt dazzled. Compared to the martial arts practiced by the three of them, Da Niu and Da Hu felt that what they had just practiced was not a martial art at all.

Having said that, it is true that you can't learn anything in the army, so the moves practiced by the two of them seem to be just a few tricks. Now observing the three of them practicing martial arts, the big bull and the big tiger are naturally envious.

It didn't take long for the panting Ming Bu to regret one more thing, that is, to guide the two brothers to practice. At the request of Da Niu and Da Hu, some tired Ming unrepentant stopped his original actions, and then agreed to the request of the two brothers with great interest.

Then, with a particularly rich experience in actual combat guidance, the big bull brothers felt that they benefited immensely, and the two practiced ordinary moves with a different feeling, and then they could find each other's progress, so after practicing for a period of time, the two brothers were grateful to Ming Buregret.

For the Da Niu brothers, the current Ming Bu regret is their master, because the two of them have not learned any systematic martial arts before.

As in the case of the two brothers, this is the case with many soldiers in the army, who simply do not have the opportunity to learn martial arts. Now that there is no regret for guidance, how can the two brothers be willing to give up such a good opportunity.

Until noon, the two were still practicing, and they were as tired as many soldiers on the training ground. At this time, a major event happened outside the city, the commander of the Snow Country army personally led the formation, and the 50,000 army stopped outside the Huangyan Pass, lined up in countless square formations, cavalry and infantry, as well as those siege beasts chained, fangs and claws, and roared fiercely from time to time.

The front row of the army was exactly a stone's throw away from the city gate, and there was a moat more than ten meters wide in the middle. It is two hundred meters long in the Great Wilderness, so the two armies are now far apart, and even so, the Snow Country army is still within the attack range of the Night Country guards.

If you use the projectile archery method, the defender's bow and arrow can hurt the soldiers of the Snow Country. Only at such a distance will the generals of the Snow Country feel safer.

The hanging lock bridge on the moat in front of the snow army has long been pulled up, and the river channel more than ten meters wide can stop all people and beasts from advancing. However, the generals of the Snow Army had already considered this problem of crossing the bridge, so they also carried a ladder, a long ladder specially used for siege.
