Chapter 672: Some Adjustments

The two walked to the front of the main hall as they spoke, and after saying hello to Zhang Jiutian, Lin Xuanzhong walked towards the main hall alone. Based on the discussion with Zhang Jiutian just now, before participating in the discussion, Lin Xuanzhong only hoped that today's meeting would have some results.

"General Lin," as soon as he entered the door, the generals who had arrived early greeted Lin Xuanzhong one after another. As the commander of the troops on the right side of the city tower this time, Lin Xuanzhong's performance in leading his subordinates to fight in the city was very good, and without thinking about it, those generals knew that Lin Xuanzhong had been recorded in the military merits.

is also a first-class wolf general, but because Lin Xuanzhong seems to have a better relationship than them, the generals in their forties are very polite to Lin Xuanzhong, and no one cares about Lin Xuanzhong's age.

After saying hello to those people one by one, Lin Xuanzhong found a place to sit down at random, and then waited with those people for Zhao Xu and several generals to come over.

"There is an important matter to announce that you have gathered you today, "Not long after, Zhao Xu and several lords came in.

After glancing at the first-class wolf generals, Zhao Xu's gaze finally stopped on Lin Xuanzhong, who had white hair scattered, "After the discussion between Ben Shuai and the three main generals, Ben Shuai can already determine the purpose of the coalition army's siege of the city day after day. ”

"The coalition forces are not testing the combat strength of our army, but they just want to weaken our military strength through continuous attacks, so that we can break through Fancheng in one fell swoop when our forces are greatly reduced," slowly removing his gaze from Lin Xuanzhong, Zhao Xu directly told the so-called important things.

"Is there anyone among you who can't understand what the marshal said?" After Zhao Xu finished speaking, Yan Nantian asked in time.

"Does the marshal mean that the coalition forces are not testing the combat strength of our army?" Yan Nantian reminded a general who immediately asked.

"No, the coalition forces are testing the combat strength of our army is one of them, but the main reason is to weaken the strength of our army," shaking his head, Yannan Tiandai Zhao Xu explained.

"General Yan means that the enemy army is testing our army's ability to defend the city while weakening our army's strength?" According to Yan Nantian, another general quickly made a guess.

"That's true," Yan Nantian nodded, through the way of asking and answering, Yan Nantian had already let the generals in the main hall know the true purpose of the enemy's attack on the city in advance.

Just now I told Zhang Jiutian about the intention of the coalition army to attack the city, and now that the answer is given above, the more Lin Xuanzhong listens, the more he feels enlightened. Whether it's good or bad, now I finally know the purpose of the coalition army's early siege.

If you think about it carefully, the strength of the coalition army lost several times that of the night army in the two attacks, but if it is calculated according to a fixed ratio, the strength of the coalition army will be relatively much more. Then, according to Zhao Xu, when their own forces decay to a certain extent, the coalition forces will definitely attack in a big way. At that time, our own forces are far smaller than the coalition forces, and I am afraid that the situation will be even more serious.

"If you understand what the marshal means, then you should have thought that the enemy army may come to attack the city tomorrow, so according to the marshal's meaning, the deployment plan of the troops defending the city will be changed, and it will no longer be mainly based on training new soldiers, but the elite soldiers of the infantry battalion will take turns to be responsible. ”

After a while, seeing that many generals had a relieved look on their faces, Yan Nantian continued: "As a first-class wolf general in the infantry battalion. General Lin, General Zhang, General Song, and General Shi are all ready, and the four of you will take turns to lead the team to defend the city every day. Yan Nantian first named all the four first-class wolf generals in the infantry camp, and then pointed out the tasks to the four people.

"In order to prevent the enemy from using a large number of archers to assist in the siege of the city, the number of troops arranged in the city will be reduced accordingly, two personnel during the day, one personnel at night, supplemented by the infantry battalion soldiers, you and the other four must do their respective duties. ”

Glancing at Lin Xuanzhong and the others, Yan Nantian continued: "Fire oil will be added to the materials used to defend the city in the city. If the enemy's attack is too urgent, we can prevent the enemy from landing on the city with limited personnel. ”

In a blink of an eye, Yan Nantian explained the adjustments they had made in personnel arrangements. Now what Yan Nantian said represents Zhao Xu's meaning, and the adjustments they make in all aspects will ensure the stability of the city's defense. But the more adjustments were made, the more Lin Xuanzhong was worried about the coalition army coming to attack the city again, because all the changes stemmed from the fear of the coalition army.

Putting aside Lin Xuanzhong's personal feelings, the content of this meeting was brief and to the point, and basically the people above were arranging affairs, so it didn't last long. By the time the meeting was over, the afternoon was not even halfway over. The soldiers who had not participated in the war before continued to train on the school ground, and the soldiers who participated in the war were busy resting, so after the end of the council, Lin Xuanzhong had nothing to do. After returning to the courtyard, Lin Xuanzhong practiced archery while thinking about the war.

"Brother Lin," When Lin Xuanzhong was completely immersed in the cultivation of archery, Princess Lan Xin, Fang Qing and the others suddenly walked into the courtyard.

Because of the disturbance of the sound coming from the door, Lin Xuanzhong directly stopped his movements and turned to look at the door. What caught Lin Xuanzhong's eyes were five or six familiar faces, and finally Lin Xuanzhong's gaze stopped on Ling Zimo's face.

I haven't seen Ling Zimo for a while, and when I met again, Lin Xuanzhong found that Ling Zimo's temperament had changed a lot, no longer as calm and calm as before, and now there was obviously a little more coldness on his face, obviously the military life in just one or two months had changed Ling Zimo a lot.

Originally, there were only two outcomes for letting a big son live in the army, one was either to collapse, and the other was to strive for the top, and Ling Zimo, who seemed to have a mild temperament, chose the second outcome.

"You're here," after a moment of shock, Lin Xuanzhong smiled and greeted a few people.

"Brother Lin, I heard that you have made great contributions in leading the team to kill the enemy," Fang Qing smiled and took a few steps forward, and said with envy: "When the enemy army attacked the city, our cavalry battalion had no chance to participate in the battle at all, otherwise I would definitely behave well." ”

"That's all the credit of the subordinates below and it doesn't have much to do with me," When fighting against the enemy army for two days, Lin Xuanzhong only fought with the enemy generals and didn't kill many ordinary enemy soldiers, so Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to take this military merit on himself.

"Brother Lin, your subordinates' meritorious service is the same as your own meritorious service, and you must be rewarded emphatically," Seeing Lin Xuanzhong's unmoved look, Fang Qing really thought that Lin Xuanzhong didn't put those credits on himself.

"Brother Lin, although you are now in the first rank of wolf general, you don't know how many more military merits you have to make before you can be named a tiger general, so you try your best to make more contributions," following behind Fang Qing, Ni Youbin said equally happily.

"You two don't talk nonsense, it's not been long since I've been named a wolf general," Seeing that Fang Qing and Ni Youbin were more serious than the other, Lin Xuanzhong didn't have much interest, but felt that the two of them were too ignorant. Speaking of which, although some adjustments have been made today, Lin Xuanzhong still doesn't have much confidence in whether the Night Army can defeat the coalition army.

"Could it be that Brother Lin thinks it is difficult to make military merits?" The smile on Ni Youbin's face stopped, and seeing that Lin Xuanzhong didn't mean to joke with the two, Ni Youbin immediately asked seriously.

"The coalition forces were outnumbered, and although the two sieges ended in failure, their casualties were not significant. Comparatively speaking, the death of 10,000 of our soldiers was a great loss. If the coalition forces continue to attack the city tomorrow, the casualties of our army will continue to increase, and no amount of military merit I make will be enough to change the situation," I don't know if it is appropriate to relay the message conveyed by Zhao Xu during the previous council to a few people, but Lin Xuanzhong can only use this to express his feelings.

"No matter how many times the coalition forces come, they will always have more casualties than us, and we have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the night army. As long as the city pass is held, no matter how many people there are in the coalition army, they will still not be able to attack it," Fang Qing couldn't figure out what Lin Xuanzhong wanted to express based on Lin Xuanzhong's words, and then showed his optimistic attitude according to his own opinion.

"Having said that, in the past two days, the coalition forces have forced the siege without large siege engines, and it can be said that both times they have easily attacked the city walls. It is not difficult to imagine that once the enemy army uses large engineering equipment to remove the obstacle of the city wall, the two sides will face each other head-on. Because of the difference in numbers and the ability of the two coalition managers, our odds are low. ”

Although Fang Qing's perspective on the problem was not clever enough, it still made Lin Xuanzhong think of many problems that he had not deeply realized before, so that Lin Xuanzhong had to think of some suitable reasons to support his opinion.

"Could it be that the coalition forces are really that powerful?" After listening carefully to Lin Xuanzhong's analysis, Fang Qing, who had originally had some limitations in his thinking, suddenly gave up some of his original ideas and became interested in Lin Xuanzhong's point of view. At the same time, Princess Lan Xin and the others also looked at Lin Xuanzhong with puzzled expressions.

Seeing all the doubts of several people in his eyes, Lin Xuanzhong thought with some regret that he seemed to have said too much, which had already scared the few people in front of him. But looking back, Lin Xuanzhong realized that he was actually scared as well.

"Yang Guo has always been good at ordnance manufacturing, and there must be more powerful equipment available in siege. Moreover, the soldiers of Yangguo like to compete on weekdays, and against the recruits in our army, their combat power is not bad, but because their morale is better than the elite of the overnight army, they can't beat us. ”

"In addition, the Flying Nation is famous for riding and archery, and today the archers of the Flying Nation have fully demonstrated their combat ability. Thanks to the help of the archers, the flying army was able to attack the city in less time. It is not difficult to think that perhaps the infantry of the flying army is not strong, but their cavalry must be unusual. If we fight head-on, our cavalry may not be able to defeat the cavalry of the Flying Country," recalled some of Zhao Xu's views on the coalition forces during the discussion, and after briefly sorting them out, Lin Xuanzhong directly relayed them to a few people.
