Chapter 326
After the game that day, those generals did not find the name Lin Xuanzhong in the roster. So, they ordered their subordinates to look in other camps, but they couldn't find the name after searching the entire infantry camp, so they had no choice but to let people continue to search in the infantry camp.
It's a pity that there are a large number of people in the infantry camp, and it's too troublesome to ask one by one, although the general above put the main place to look for in the Seventh Army, but it's still not easy to find, especially Lin Xuanzhong also specially told Da Niu and Da Hu not to spread the news about their real names, just like that, the general above sent someone to look for a day and had no clue.
In the evening, because they were busy with sending troops, the generals above did not have much time to spend looking for Lin Xuanzhong, so the matter could only be put aside for the time being.
Lin Xuanzhong was going to leave tomorrow, and in the evening, Da Niu and Da Hu came to visit, and the two said a lot of words to wish Lin Xuanzhong a smooth return, and Lin Xuanzhong also said a lot to the two of them to wish them a triumphant return, so the three of them left each other with a cherished farewell.
In the camp, Lin Xuanzhong, who was about to heal from his injuries, meditated and breathed for a while, and then thought about sending troops tomorrow. More than 30,000 people were divided into three routes, and they didn't know which city to go to, or whether they would go directly to that very remote place. Of course, it doesn't matter where you go, as long as you don't stay in the barracks anymore, everything is easy to say.
Early the next morning, the big bull brothers came to see him off again, and secretly stuffed Lin Xuanzhong with something to eat. After saying goodbye to the two men, they returned to the ranks, and under the leadership of the general above, an army quickly set off for a city to the northeast.
There is a fortress in the Snow Country, there is a small city behind the fortress, the wall of the fortress is not connected with Xilan City, due to the proximity to the fierce forest on the edge of the North Wilderness Mountain Range, the problem of beasts is very serious, for many years, the small city has been suffering from beasts, recently due to the original garrison on the side of the fortress troops were transferred, and the personnel organized by the city have no experience in resisting beasts, resulting in the people near the city often attacked by fierce beasts.
Although it cannot be said that the people are living in dire straits, if the animal plague is more serious, sooner or later the people there will have to move out of that area. Lin Xuanzhong's path to take would pass by the side of the city, and then directly arrive at the fortress garrison. It would take another three or four hundred miles from Xilan City to there, and at the current pace of marching, it would take five or six days, and it would be without problems.
During the first day's journey, there were few rests in the army, and most of the soldiers were in high spirits to see how the beasts were doing. Although it was to help the civilians of Snow Country, it did not reduce their enthusiasm.
At the end of the day, an army of more than 8,000 men drove 110 miles, and at this rate, the army might have arrived at the fortress two days earlier. However, on this day's journey without rest, by the time the evening was encamped, every soldier had a look of fatigue on his face. After a brief dinner, the general above arranged for the soldiers to change the guard and rest.
In the wilderness between two cities, even an army has to guard against any danger that may arise at any time. Both beasts and bandits can be a danger to the army, so they must not be relaxed.
After resting for a few hours, Lin Xuanzhong and another chief changed their guard at night, and walked around the perimeter of the barracks with ten subordinates, observing if there was anything unusual around the barracks. The dew was very heavy on the spring night, and I hadn't walked for long, and everyone was covered in fog, but fortunately, no one was afraid of the cold, and from time to time there were people whispering.
Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to bother with them, as long as they didn't make too much noise. The feeling of leading the patrol was really special, which reminded Lin Xuanzhong of the chief he met when he broke into the barracks with Ming Buregret, and the strength of that person was not as high as Ming Buregret, but the momentum he showed at that time was completely not in his eyes. Now that I think about it, the chief is really majestic, but it's a pity that it's all in the past, and now that he has become the chief, he doesn't have any sense of domineering.
But then again, since the right minister brought a group of civil servants to the barracks, there have indeed been a lot of changes in the army, and ordinary soldiers have no one who dares to openly resist in the face of the officers above, and even he has a sense of dignity and inferiority in the face of those thousand-suckers and centurions. Although this feeling is very light, it is not nothing, the hierarchy of the army is really extraordinary, Lin Xuanzhong is full of sighs at the moment.
After a while, Lin Xuanzhong had already walked around the small camp with the ten people behind him. Except for those generals who stood guard in front of the tents, there were few people standing guard outside the other tents, and even if there were, the personnel stood very sparsely among them.
There were several teams in charge of patrolling the night, and during the patrol, Lin Xuanzhong also met with the other two teams. Everyone is a colleague, so you should nod your head when you meet.
Inside the barracks was very quiet, except for the lights that flickered when the wind blew. Outside the barracks, it was so dark that nothing could be seen, and there was no unusual sound.
Since the Snow Country's armies were already concentrated in Zephyr City, when the Night Army was stationed, no spies were sent out in the barracks to investigate. walked back and forth like this, until the sky was white, and the clothes of several people were completely wet, and there was movement in the barracks.
Those who were in charge of logistics went one after another, set up stoves to make fires and cook, and with only the rations of 8,000 people, everything became simpler.
While those people were cooking, according to the instructions above, Lin Xuanzhong took ten of his subordinates back to rest. Soon, there were people in the army who got up to move their muscles and bones, and there was no need to line up during the march, and these people who got up to move their muscles and bones naturally cultivated specially.
After finding a place to sit down, he listened to his subordinates while picking up his uniform. After walking for half the night, now everyone is shouting that they are hungry, and Lin Xuanzhong, who listens, feels hungry himself. Occasionally, someone would make some jokes, so that Lin Xuanzhong felt like when he ambushed the Snow Army that night. Busy and relaxed, as if everything is going in a good direction, that feeling, really makes people feel that life is quite comfortable.
After waiting for about half an hour, the barracks finally started eating, and a dozen or twenty people stood in a circle, and then special personnel were responsible for distributing rations. Three pieces of bread, a bowl of porridge, except for the generals and senior officers above, the rest of the people are all uniformly fed, and a chief like Lin Xuanzhong is naturally no exception.
There is no limit to the amount of food in the army, as long as it is not wasted. After breakfast, the night soldiers were satisfied, grabbed their weapons and continued on their way.
In the morning light, in the warm breeze, the night soldiers raised their high-spirited faces one by one and strode forward.
At the same time, in the camp, the remaining 40,000 soldiers stepped up their training, waiting for a big battle with the Snow Army half a month later.
After more than two months of recuperation, the army has been fully prepared in terms of materials, and has a better understanding of the situation in Zephyr City, and it is only a matter of time before the army is released. At the end of the discussion, the Right Minister of the Night Kingdom issued an official letter to each location where the bandits and beasts were suppressed, informing them of the intention of the Night Army.
On the other hand, Zhao Wu asked Lei Guo's side for advice on sending troops. Whether to send troops after the capture of Snow Country, or to send reinforcements immediately, because the number of troops has dropped to 180,000, this aspect cannot be ignored. When Zhao Wu and the others were in charge of everything, there were fleeing civilians everywhere in the Northern Wilderness Mountain Range, outside the small city where Lin Xuanzhong was going.
The civilians living on the borders of a country were poor people who wanted to find a safe place to stay in the city, but the new entrance fee made many people stop at the city gates. As a result, the outside of the city became a refugee concentration area.
That small city has a special name "Cloud City", and now the city is overcrowded, and the villagers of the remote villages around Cloud City have abandoned their ancestral land and fled outside Cloud City with their families in tow.
Refugees from all over the city poured in, resulting in refugees outside the city, men, women and children, all of them still have the sad look on their faces when they fled, these refugees could not afford to pay the entrance fee to the city, so they could only stay outside the city, the number of refugees far outside the city was far more than the original outside the city, among which the young and strong people were employed by some family shops in the city, leaving only the old and young women and children.
In fact, the arrival of civilians from all over the world also made Cloud City more and more lively, the streets and alleys of the city were full of pedestrians, shops and inns were full of people, and the beasts brought up the business in the city. Regardless of the severity of the beast infestation outside, in addition to some people worrying about the crisis facing Snow Country, many people are busy having a good time.
The only thing that is infuriating is that the people in the city do not accept the people from outside, and they also do not give some help to the refugees, and during the war, many people are still so powerful, and there is no sense of crisis in the country, which is indeed the sad thing about a country. Of course, in troubled times, many countries have similar situations.
When the national disaster is imminent, the state has no spare power to govern them, and they also have no leisure to care about the security of the country, and most people are only worried about their own safety even if they are worried about the arrival of the night army.
In the area around Cloud City, fierce beasts are everywhere, from time to time there will be fierce beasts gathered together to attack passers-by, and the areas where those villagers and woodcutters can hunt and chop wood normally have become a paradise for fierce beasts, and the fierce beasts in the fierce forest have changed from the kind of frequent entry and exit of the fortress to completely occupy the fortress, and there are hidden dangers of fierce beasts all around Cloud City.
