Chapter 865: Will
Chapter 865: Will
Obviously, it would be more comfortable to lie in bed, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't dare to move, the night was so long, but all the things that could be considered seemed to have been thought about, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't divert his attention through rigid thinking, so as to ease his emotions, but it became more and more uncomfortable. In this torment, Lin Xuanzhong's will was constantly destroyed and reshaped, until he finally resolutely got up and left the big tent to find a place to practice swordsmanship.
Knowing that it would be useless, but Lin Xuanzhong had already made it, time was passing in endless torment, and before he knew it, the sky was already white, and it was not long before dawn.
In the end, because of various pressures, Lin Xuanzhong finally collapsed, lost all his strength, and was unable to resist the pressure from the outside world. When he stopped weakly, Lin Xuanzhong was already at the extreme of fear in his heart, so his will was swallowed up by fear. After a few days of perseverance, the effects of all the pressure in one fell swoop. Maybe Lin Xuanzhong didn't regret his original decision, but Lin Xuanzhong couldn't change the fact that he had a mental breakdown.
When the soldiers got up one after another to spend the last day, Lin Xuanzhong could only pretend to deal with everyone normally. As if God intended to punish the night army, the last day passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, most of the morning had passed.
After meditating and pranayama, Lin Xuanzhong walked around the barracks alone, and as far as he could see, most of the soldiers were sitting on the ground resting. I haven't eaten enough for a few days, and everyone looks a little yellow and thin, and more importantly, they have no energy. If the people from the Blockade and Sword City suddenly attacked, even if they could make the soldiers eat in time, they would still be unable to resist with the current military appearance, because in terms of momentum, they would have collapsed.
After a brief inspection, Lin Xuanzhong received the news of the closure of the city and the dispatch of troops from the Sword City, the two cities were some distance from the camp, and they should launch an attack tomorrow. Because he knew that their proximity to the barracks in the name of delivering food was just a pretense, Lin Xuanzhong was very helpless about this.
Standing on the mountain, looking at the direction of Meteorite City from afar, if everything goes well, the people over there should have already acted, but what the result is, Lin Xuanzhong has no way of knowing, so he can only wait. If they can't wait for good news today, they can only be prepared to die. Time is a tormenting thing, sometimes enough to feel like it can be squandered, sometimes it is lacking enough to kill people, and there is no room for negotiation.
By noon, in order to save energy, the soldiers were no longer talking to each other, and talking could not erase the fear in their hearts. By this time, many people had finally begun to wonder if Lin Xuanzhong's previous plan was right or wrong. However, the suspicions of those people are no longer important to Lin Xuanzhong, because now Lin Xuanzhong has passed the most painful period, and everything is no longer important.
After a difficult afternoon, after dinner, all the granaries in the camp were empty, and tomorrow was the day of judgment for the night army, and all problems would be settled.
While the people in the barracks were panicking, Lin Xuanzhong held a final meeting with some generals to prepare for the worst tomorrow. If the operation on the Meteorite side fails, the question of what kind of outcome the night army will face is a very real one, and the uneasiness of the 80,000 soldiers makes the problem even more realistic. It is worth mentioning that Fang Quyin, who silently supported Lin Xuanzhong behind the scenes, attended the meeting, and did not publicly accuse Lin Xuanzhong of his mistakes as many people imagined.
But at the beginning of the meeting, the atmosphere in the tent was extremely dreary, and everyone knew that the issue they were about to discuss was a heavy one, so heavy that they could not speak.
"General Lin, what if there is still no news from our army from the Meteoric City side tomorrow?" When many generals didn't know how to speak, Fang Quyin said the first sentence, but there was no oppressive tone in that tone.
"Surrender to the Yang Kingdom, as soon as the people from the Sealed City and the Sword City arrive, I will express to them that I am willing to bear all the hatred between the Night Kingdom and the Yang Kingdom, hoping that they can not kill the soldiers for the sake of the Night Kingdom," If you want to keep some people as much as possible, there is no other way but to use the power of the Night Kingdom. Since the Night Kingdom has almost completed the Five-Nation Alliance, in the name of the Five-Nation Alliance, it is enough to make the other party jealous, and this answer is the result of Lin Xuanzhong's consideration for many days. There is no other way to do it.
Since the night army had lost the conditions for attacking the city, the remaining rations in the army were only enough for some generals to eat, and the night army could not even escape from this place. Now think about the original withdrawal of the Gu army, if they could escape along the evacuation route of the Gu army, even if there was not enough food and grass for them to withdraw from Yangguo, if they could attract the personnel of Yangguo to attack, they might be able to find a way to survive.
It's a pity that because they couldn't bear to throw away those weapons, and they were also worried about being trapped in a valley, no one thought about it, and then when Lin Xuanzhong proposed a plan to rescue Emperor Yang, they could only stay in the camp.
Now that Lin Xuanzhong had answered so bluntly and affirmatively, many generals couldn't bear it, and some generals couldn't even ask Lin Xuanzhong if there was any other way to do it, thinking that they might really end up dead.
"Can't we surrender to them and then fight them?" In desperation, there was still a general who did not give up and proposed a solution that was not a solution.
"General Shi, let's do what General Lin wants," Lin Xuanzhong's answer actually omitted the need for Fang Quyin to ask if there was any other way, since Lin Xuanzhong had already decided, there was no need to say more, otherwise the extra words would only make their situation more difficult.
It's just that Fang Quyin's final word is still unacceptable to many generals, some people can not care about their life and death, but they care about Lin Xuanzhong's life and death, Lin Xuanzhong is everyone's hope, they don't want Lin Xuanzhong to die.
"General, we are willing to live and die with you," Immediately afterwards, Yang Shifeng and other generals of the new army all stood up, one by one, as if they had discussed it before, and they wanted to face the fact that they were unwilling to accept with Lin Xuanzhong.
"I'll follow the generals to the death," On the side of the rear army, because of the influence of Yang Shifeng and others, some generals also stood up, and their faces were firm.
"You don't have to laugh, if you all die, who will fulfill the general's will?" Those generals looked extremely serious, which made Lin Xuanzhong feel a little sad in his heart, and it was this sadness that made Lin Xuanzhong laugh. It's just that Lin Xuanzhong's smile is too uncomfortable, which makes people feel very ugly, and it is difficult to see that it makes people's eyes flash.
When he noticed that many people were full of tears, Lin Xuanzhong's sad smile couldn't be maintained, "No matter what the fate of Ben Jiang is, you all have to live with the people who live." The scene was completely out of control, and without wanting to be affected by so many people, Lin Xuanzhong said his will.
"General. ”
"General. ”
......
Lin Xuanzhong's words moved everyone again, causing those generals who had a thousand words and couldn't speak to keep shouting Lin Xuanzhong's name, and the tone of those people was full of helplessness.
"Ben will not regret his decision, and I hope you will not regret it either," when he felt more and more that he was affected by other people and could not keep calm, and there was a feeling of wanting to cry bitterly, Lin Xuanzhong immediately turned around and walked past everyone to leave the big tent, thinking of the empty outside to ease his mood.
It's just that Lin Xuanzhong didn't know that the outside of the camp was already full of soldiers, and those soldiers were watching the camp as if they were waiting for the judgment of their fate. When Lin Xuanzhong came out of it, they looked at Lin Xuanzhong with an uneasy face.
On the other side, Lin Xuanzhong was first shocked by the situation that the soldiers were surrounded outside the camp, and then he thought that he couldn't let the people below see his appearance at the moment, so he hurriedly walked out of the passage they let out of the way while holding back his tears. As he passed by those soldiers, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to think about anything, but tried his best to control his tears.
He has experienced many life and death tests before, but Lin Xuanzhong never thought that there would be the current situation, he was ready to die but still had to cry, while blaming himself for being useless, and on the other hand, he thought that the passage was too long, and there were many times, Lin Xuanzhong was afraid that his tears would burst out uncontrollably. When he went out of that passage, Lin Xuanzhong, who was in a panic, couldn't remember how far he had walked.
After standing far away from the crowd, there was indeed a feeling of a wide sea and sky, but that extremely depressed emotion could not get better, and in desperation, Lin Xuanzhong could only continue to walk forward until his vision was blurred. When the warm tears left his eyes, Lin Xuanzhong's eyes were full of dim light.
"That's the general?" When Lin Xuanzhong stopped again, Xue Yin, Ruan Ming and the others, who had just come out of the camp tent, noticed a lonely back, much like a person they knew.
"That should be the general, should we go over and have a look?" Lin Xuanzhong looked like there was something wrong with the way he stood there, which made Ruan Ming worry.
"No, let's go back, the general shouldn't want to be disturbed now," After confirming that it was indeed Lin Xuanzhong who was standing there, and then looking at the countless soldiers who were some distance away from Lin Xuanzhong, Xue Yin had a strong feeling that Lin Xuanzhong was avoiding certain things, so they couldn't disturb Lin Xuanzhong.
"En," I don't know why Xue Yin said this, but looking at Lin Xuanzhong's appearance is indeed very problematic, Ruan Ming didn't dare to rush over.
On the other side, since Lin Xuanzhong left the big tent, those generals kept recalling the bits and pieces they had with Lin Xuanzhong, and they couldn't control it anymore, and tears flowed down their eyes. By this time. Zhang Jiutian can no longer maintain a different position with Lin Xuanzhong, but he feels very sad. Zhang Jiutian really wanted Lin Xuanzhong to be happy, but everything was so powerless, Zhang Jiutian couldn't comfort Lin Xuanzhong.
