Xu Mo finally came, Qin Feng was happy, and secretly made up his mind that as long as the situation in Beidi was certain, he would drink to the point of ecstasy with his brothers and never return until he was drunk.
But at the moment, of course, we can't indulge in indulgence. The closer it is to the last moment, the more we must stay awake and never be carried away by joy.
Qin Feng personally brought Xu Mo into the city, but the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade was unable to enter the city due to its large number and simply stationed outside the city.
When Xu Mo walked into the city, he was hugged by Ning Hu.
Ning Hu, like Qin Feng, looked extremely excited: "Hahaha, brother Xu Mo, you are finally here. I thought you were defeated by Chen Si in Ezhou."
Faced with Ning Hu's teasing, Xu Mo didn't care at all. After all, compared to others, Xu Mo and Ning Hu were the first to follow Qin Feng, and they were already as close as brothers.
Not to be outdone, Xu Mo punched Ning Hu in the chest with his backhand and laughed arrogantly: "Little Marquis, you and Qin Marquis have been trapped in such a small county with no shit for so long, but your energy is still the same." So full and full of energy, it’s really enviable.”
"When Beidi is defeated, you and I, brothers, must have a good time talking about the past."
Ning Hu nodded like a fool: "That's right, that's right, hahaha."
Qin Feng urged Xu Mo to go to the county government. At the same time, the news that the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade had arrived in Changshui County spread at an alarming speed.
The people in the city were naturally happy when they learned that Qin Feng's reinforcements had arrived.
They hope Qin Feng can win more than anyone else. After all, as Beidi people, they have taken refuge in Qin Feng. Once Qin Feng is defeated, it will naturally be a disaster for them.
As the saying goes, when one is prosperous, both are prosperous, and when one is deprived, both are deprived.
However, since the army did not enter the city, the people of Changshui County were unable to see the majesty of the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade with their own eyes, so they could only speculate based on rumors.
"Hahaha, my brother, who works in the logistics department, once climbed up the city wall while transporting lumber and saw the appearance of the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade. You don't know, but my brother said that he has never seen anything like this in his life. An elite army.”
"Those soldiers from Beixi County are all top-notch and extremely tough, just like soldiers from heaven and generals descending from heaven."
"With such a heroic army under the command of the Marquis of Qin, how can it be said that he is invincible?"
"Now everyone can rest assured. We ordinary people have embraced the lap of Lord Qin. The good days in the future are just around the corner."
Seeing the middle-aged man's beaming appearance, the eyes of the people gathered around him were filled with envy.
Secretly sighing why he is not so lucky to see the true appearance of the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade with his own eyes?
However, they were still extremely happy. Now that Qin Feng had joined the army, they no longer had to worry about the city being breached, and the people in the city could have a peaceful sleep.
Because the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade was so vast and was always stationed outside the city, the news quickly reached the ears of the major garrison generals in the Beidi capital region.
When Chen Lang, the deputy general of the Royal Capital Garrison, heard the news, his body felt like an electric shock and he stood up suddenly.
His eyes were solemn as never before, and he asked impatiently: "The Beixi Expeditionary Brigade has arrived in Changshui County? How many people are here? Are they really as elite as the rumors say?"
The reason why Chen Lang cares so much about the situation of the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade is because he has not yet made up his mind whether to surrender to Qin Feng or continue to be loyal to King Beidi.
Chen Lang knew that Li Zhang's main force was approaching the royal capital, but the marching speed of the main force was relatively slow. The one that could really play a decisive role at the strategic level was the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade. Therefore, the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade The situation is the important factor that determines Chen Lang's next decision.
The scout who had just returned from Changshui County did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly reported back.
"General, since there are a large number of informants scattered around the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade, a large number of scouts are active within a radius of ten miles, and a large number of cavalry are conducting reconnaissance within a radius of twenty miles, it is difficult to reach the expeditionary brigade. "
"However, my subordinates were lucky enough to reach the vicinity of the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade. It was visually estimated that the enemy troops numbered tens of thousands, and they were equipped in a mixed configuration, from light infantry to heavy infantry, from logistics to cavalry."
"In addition, the equipment of the expedition brigade is also extremely elite. Whether it is heavy armor or light armor, it is superior to our army. Even the number of bows and arrows equipped by individual soldiers is more than ours."
Hearing this, Chen Lang's heart was already half cold.
Both the quantity and quality of the opponent were enough to make Chen Lang give up the idea of fighting with him.
Moreover, based on the scouts' reports, Chen Lang also heard an even more important news, that is, the number of people in the expedition brigade still exceeds 10,000.
This means that the casualty rate of the expeditionary brigade has been kept extremely low all the way from Zhuozhou to Ezhou, and then from Ezhou to Gyeonggi.
This not only highlights the strong combat effectiveness of the expeditionary brigade, but also the extremely complete logistical support.
In a battle with such a tiger and wolf army, any army in the world will have to pay a bloody price.
Realizing that the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade was even more elite than rumored, Chen Lang no longer hesitated and immediately ordered his troops to be sent to Changshui County to contact Qin Feng and completely fall in love with Qin Feng. aside.
Although he alone cannot decide the direction of the entire garrison, at least his lineage has decided to lean towards Qin Feng.
Under Chen Lang's instruction, his representatives immediately rushed to Changshui County without stopping.
Almost as soon as Chen Lang's men left the garrison, the commander-in-chief of the garrison had already received the news that Chen Lang had betrayed King Beidi and surrendered to Qin Feng. However, the commander-in-chief did not directly give the order to pacify Chen Lang, but could not help but fall into a trap. Food for thought.
As the last garrison in the royal capital, his attitude not only determines the life and death of the royal capital, but also determines the fate of his army.
Whether he should continue to assist the King of Beidi, defend the royal capital, and start a bloody battle with Qin Feng's army, or whether he should be a wise man who knows the current affairs, even the commander-in-chief was a little undecided, which was why he did not attack Chen Lang immediately.
The commander-in-chief was also well aware of the attitude of King Beidi.
Now, King Beidi has assembled the imperial army to defend the palace. With the strength of the palace, it is natural that he can still hold on for a while, but it is just a fight between trapped beasts.
After all, there are too many people in the palace, but the supplies in stock are relatively limited, and they can only last for two months if they are exhausted.
As for Qin Feng's army, as long as it breaks through the outer city and enters the royal capital, it doesn't even need to attack the palace at all. It only needs to guard the outer perimeter to trap King Beidi to death.
Of course, the commander-in-chief can also lead a large army, huddle in the royal capital, and resist stubbornly, but what is the point of doing so?
