Chapter 841: Wing City Council
Chapter 841: Wing City Council
With more and more confidence, Yang Shifeng launched an attack without fear. Although he failed to defeat Lin Xuanzhong as quickly as he imagined, as the competition progressed, Yang Shifeng had confirmed that under his own offensive, Lin Xuanzhong could only defend passively. Except for being faster and having more experience in dodging attacks, there is no advantage at all.
After continuing to fight for a while, Yang Shifeng had fully confirmed that as long as he put enough pressure on Lin Xuanzhong, Lin Xuanzhong's body would be greatly restricted. As a result, while maintaining the offensive, Yang Shifeng continued to speed up his own movement, indirectly reproducing the situation when Lin Xuanzhong and Feng were fighting that day.
Under that sense of oppression, in the blink of an eye, Lin Xuanzhong revealed his flaws due to lack of strength, allowing Yang Shifeng to take the opportunity to win.
And from Yang Shifeng to the final victory, the whole process took less than half an hour, thinking that not long ago it was Lin Xuanzhong who had the upper hand, and now the contrasting ending makes many people have a feeling of unreality, many people think that Lin Xuanzhong deliberately let Yang Shifeng, but when the two stopped, Yang Shifeng's face was as calm as water, but Lin Xuanzhong was out of breath, it seemed that Yang Shifeng could defeat ten current Lin Xuanzhong.
The strong sense of contrast made many high-level martial cultivators constantly think about how Lin Xuanzhong lost to Yang Shifeng, and how Yang Shifeng won.
At the same time, in the eyes of those ordinary martial cultivators, the result of Lin Xuanzhong's defeat was exactly in line with the views of some generals before, just now Lin Xuanzhong was just simply competing with Yang Shifeng to test his swordsmanship, they didn't think that Lin Xuanzhong really lost to Yang Shifeng at all. But no matter what others think, it should be the feeling of Yang Shifeng that is the most clear now.
After a duel just now, Yang Shifeng realized in a fundamental sense that Lin Xuanzhong's body technique was not invincible, and the way to defeat the Eight Desolate Steps lay in the Eight Desolate Steps themselves. As long as he is familiar with the characteristics of Lin Xuanzhong's body technique, or directly presses with a strong momentum, it is not difficult to be invincible with the power of a seventh-order martial cultivator.
Yang Shifeng's point of view is not clear if it is considered intuitively, but if it is through the form of martial arts, under careful experience, Yang Shifeng's point of view can be confirmed. Feeling the abundant True Yuan in his body, and then looking at Lin Xuanzhong, who was out of breath and unsteady breath, Yang Shifeng knew that his thoughts would not be wrong.
"General Zhang, did General Yang really rely on his own strength to defeat General Lin?" From the beginning to the present, Ruan Yi has seen many things, so when many people think that Lin Xuanzhong will not really lose to Yang Shifeng, Ruan Yi has a different opinion.
"Yes or no, you can try it yourself," Zhang Jiutian shook his head, although he also saw it clearly, but based on past experience, Zhang Jiutian couldn't make a conclusion based on what he saw.
Zhang Jiutian's reply was enough for Ruan Yi, and Ruan Yi understood that Zhang Jiutian had similar inferences to him, so he really only had to try to know if this was the case.
"It's all gone," At this moment, Lin Xuanzhong, who was out of breath, suddenly shouted around, and then turned around and walked towards the big tent without waiting for anyone to speak, ready to consider the shortcomings of the Eight Desolation Steps, and whether fighting martial arts in the way just now would be good for the progress of the body.
After Lin Xuanzhong left everyone and returned to the big tent alone, the high-level martial cultivators who had just watched the battle fiercely discussed, arguing endlessly about the reasons for Lin Xuanzhong's defeat, and some people still held on to Yang Shifeng, because Yang Shifeng was the most qualified to prove that their views were right or wrong. It's just that some questions involve Lin Xuanzhong's body characteristics, and it is inconvenient for Yang Shifeng to say, so when answering some generals' questions, Yang Shifeng can't say why.
It wasn't until Zhang Jiutian said that it was okay to say it bluntly, and Yang Shifeng revealed the reason for winning Lin Xuanzhong. When Yang Shifeng made it clear that Lin Xuanzhong's speed could be forcibly restricted, it was not surprising that it caused many people to doubt Lin Xuanzhong's invincibility, and at the same time, it also made many people have the idea of wanting to fight Lin Xuanzhong. For things like improving their strength, no matter what the current situation of these people is, they are all very motivated.
It is worth mentioning that because of Lin Xuanzhong's relationship, the atmosphere in the barracks has become more and more lively, and many people have even ignored their current dangerous situation.
In the afternoon, because he had promised those wounded soldiers that he would teach them how to do it, Lin Xuanzhong deliberately took some time to find someone to demonstrate the battlefield game, and then while watching the battle, he tried to use the basic footwork of the Eight Desolation Steps to change the common duel situation, and kept studying.
It's a pity that what Lin Xuanzhong wants to teach those people can only be regarded as a kind of on-the-spot duel experience in the eyes of many people, and it can't be called a body method at all, so soon Lin Xuanzhong found that simply using the basic footwork of the Eight Desolation Steps has no advantage on the battlefield, but the overall Eight Desolation Steps are not easy to learn, so it is best to create a simple actual combat body method according to the characteristics of the Eight Desolation Steps and the battlefield game situation, so as to facilitate those soldiers to learn. After coming to this conclusion, Lin Xuanzhong found that teaching soldiers is not an overnight thing, and it takes time to figure it out carefully.
I don't know if I can create that kind of body that is convenient for actual combat, but under the expectations of many soldiers, Lin Xuanzhong plans to give it a try, so Lin Xuanzhong needs more observation and accumulation of experience. As a result, those who are good at using long weapons in the army have all become Lin Xuanzhong's sparring partners, and time passes day by day.
A few days later, in Yicheng, based on the current situation of Lin Xuanzhong and others, as well as the increasingly serious problems in Yiguo, Zhao Xu once again convened the generals to discuss countermeasures to deal with the current crisis.
Before the meeting began, Zhao Xu directly explained that it was a mistake to put tens of thousands of soldiers in trouble this time, but the frequent problems in the Wing Country were accidents, so they had to discuss how to help Lin Xuanzhong and them get out of danger, and how to deal with various problems in the Wing Country as soon as possible.
After the First Battle of Fancheng, there were still more than 200,000 troops left in the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and after 60,000 minus, only 140,000 remained, but with the recent recruitment of new soldiers, there are still more than 200,000 troops in the territory of Yiguo. It stands to reason that such a large number of troops is enough for them to stabilize the situation in the Wing Country as soon as possible, so as to send reinforcements as soon as possible, but this is not the case.
The tens of thousands of new troops recruited from the Wing Country not only could not be used to quell the rebellion of some local forces, but they were also likely to be rebelled by local personnel in the process of being dispersed and sent to suppress beasts. Some joined the local rebel forces, and some joined the bandit organization, which caused more trouble for the night army to stabilize the situation in the Wing Country, and Zhao Xu has always been deeply burdened.
The recruits could not be reused, not to mention because some royal clansmen were in rebellion, which led to more and more local rebellions. There are a total of thirty-seven cities in the Wing Kingdom, and now more than half of the cities have rebellions, which directly leads to the lack of strength of the night army, and it is more of a headache for Zhao Xu and others to suppress those scattered resistance forces than to deal with a complete army. At present, under the condition that the situation in the territory is deteriorating, Zhao Xu really has no extra troops to send to support Lin Xuanzhong and them.
Not only is there a shortage of troops in the territory, but Zhao Xu also has to ask for help from the Night Emperor who is far away in the night capital. Because of the instigation of the Qingyuan power, there are signs of military activity on the border of Lanyue Country, a neighboring country to the east of the Wing Country. If the Lanyue Kingdom took this opportunity to crusade against the Night Army, Zhao Xu was very worried that the bad situation in the Wing Kingdom would intensify. It can be said that the excellent situation after the capture of the Wing Kingdom has completely ceased to exist because of the mistake of dividing the troops.
Zhao Xu's mistake has caused serious consequences, but if it is pursued, in fact, the current situation is inevitable, and a small country must constantly withstand tests if it wants to become strong. Even if Zhao Xu was not in a hurry to send Lin Xuanzhong and them out to fight before, after the other main generals came over to converge, Zhao Xu would still send an army, so it was a matter of time before he sent troops to raise the country.
After admitting his mistakes, Zhao Xu specially ordered someone to describe the situation in Yiguo clearly first, and then explain the dangerous situation of Lin Xuanzhong and others. For Zhao Xu and the generals present, the situation they are facing now can be regarded as internal and external troubles. Whether to solve internal problems first or deal with external problems first is the premise for them to consider countermeasures.
For the sake of this premise, the congregation will present their own views. According to some of the generals, they had all the information about the local forces in their possession, and if the key leaders were dealt with, some of the rebellion problems could be solved. In addition, after the expulsion of the royal family of the Wing Country, those royal clansmen supported themselves, not the original royal family, so they were more concerned about their own interests, not the extinct country, which was also the key point that could be used to end the rebellion.
For those associated with the Imperial Family, some generals felt that they could take advantage of the situation and subdue them by securing their former positions and ensuring that they would not be subjected to the strong oppression of the Night Kingdom.
For others who have nothing to do with the royal family, they can directly give heavy profits and quell the rebellion by buying people's hearts. Of course, some of those rebel forces can be subdued by conventional means, but others are stubborn and can only be suppressed by force.
Somewhat similar to those local forces that insist on resisting, those bandit organizations are also full of malice towards the Night Army, not only causing chaos everywhere, but also often putting the blame for the scourge on the Night Army, which is the target of the Night Army's key attack. When talking about dealing with the problem of bandits, the three commanders expressed their willingness to personally lead troops to suppress the bandits and to eliminate those tumors as soon as possible. As long as the Moon Country does not send troops to interfere, in terms of managing internal worries, although the manpower of the night army is slightly insufficient, there will be no problem.
