"Bo Xi! Don't worry, I will take care of Yiyuan County. During your northern expedition to Qingzhou, the remaining mountains of Taishan will become a forbidden area for all Qingzhou bandits. If a bandit is allowed to enter Taishan County from my area, I, Zang Ba, will take the lead. See you!" Zang Ba was silent for a long time, and finally said solemnly to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge was excited when he heard this. He came to Zang Ba to ask Zang Ba to help defend Taishan County. Now that he has almost spared the troops in Taishan County, what he fears most now is that Qingzhou bandits take advantage of the emptiness in Taishan County to give Qin Ge a Take the fire out of the cauldron.
Qin Jiwu's 100,000 Dongyue soldiers could not defend Taishan County, which was surrounded by bandits. If Zang Ba was willing to assist in the defense, the defense area of Taishan County would be reduced by half, and only then could Qin Jiwu completely resist the bandit invasion.
Qin Ge originally planned to bargain with Zang Ba and was mentally prepared for heavy bleeding, but he didn't expect Zang Ba to make such a strong oath without even asking for anything.
Zang Ba stood up and held Qin Ge's shoulders and said: "You don't need to say anything. We have enough food, grass and equipment. You can put down the bandits in Qingzhou wholeheartedly! A few days ago, Shun'er was going to Le'an County to garrison and passed by here. , I talked with him for a long time, brother, you are a real hero, just go ahead and do it! No matter how bastard I am Zang Ba, I am also a descendant of Mount Tai. Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will not let any bandits touch this land! "
Qin Ge patted Zang Ba's arm hard and said: "Good brother, don't say anything else! Xuangao, with your seven-foot body, you really can't become a gangster who will be infamous forever. If there is a chance, I still hope If you can walk on the right path, we two brothers will join hands and leave a clear name in future generations for eternity!"
Zang Ba opened his mouth. At this time, he even wanted to leave the brothers of the Taishan bandits and follow Qin Ge to Qingzhou. However, Qin Ge stopped him and said: "The brothers of the Taishan bandits are very involved. You have to think about the future for yourself." Lu, now I’m going to Qingzhou, I hope our brothers can still have a good time drinking and chatting next time!”
Qin Ge turned around and left the General Pavilion, and Zang Ba suddenly shouted: "Wait!"
Qin Ge looked back at Zang Ba with some surprise. Zang Ba picked up a bowl of wine and said to the thirty thousand Taishan righteous knights: "You are all my good brothers. You are all good men of Taishan. You belong to me, Zang Ba." pride!"
After finishing speaking, he drank all the wine in the bowl, then smashed the bowl to the ground, rolled up his robe, took out his sword, cut off his robe, and said to the Taishan righteous hero: "From now on, I will sever all ties with you and your family." I will send it to Qilin City, and you can follow Boxi to do something great!"
Qin Ge brought Taishan Yixia back, and everyone was wearing elite equipment. This army could definitely fight one against ten. However, Zang Ba wanted to give them to Qin Ge, completely give them to Qin Ge.
"Brother!" The leaders of several Taishan righteous knights shouted to Zang Ba with tears in their eyes.
"Get out of here!" Zang Ba's eyes were red, and he turned around and raised his hand to ask the Taishan righteous hero to come down the mountain.
Qin Ge looked at Zang Ba's back. At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of the word "xiaxia" and loyalty. He shouted at Zang Ba's back: "Brothers of Taishan's righteous knights, pay three respects to Commander Zang!"
More than 30,000 Taishan heroes knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to Zang Ba, got up and followed Qin Ge down the mountain.
Zang Ba supported the pavilion, turned around and stared blankly at the disappearance of Qin Ge and the brothers, as if he had lost his soul.
…
Due to the brave performance of the Han coalition forces in the Youzhou War, Qin Ge took advantage of the general's troops to arrive at Yanzhou and sent troops to occupy and recover the city that had been captured by the bandits.
As a result, everything was as expected by Guan Zhong, Xu Shu, Tian Feng and others. The Liangshan bandits quickly reduced their forces and concentrated their forces mainly in various counties and fortified cities that were easy to defend and difficult to attack. Qin Ge's troops took over several county towns and cities without any effort. pass.
In Jinan County, Zhao Yun led the cavalry to advance vigorously because he knew the geographical terrain and bandit divisions of Jinan County well in advance.
Zhao Yun led Deng Zhi and Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry to annihilate Tugu and Ziling Counties within three days. Some small groups of bandits who had no time to escape and bandit forces who had no solid mountain stronghold to rely on, fought in this army that had gone through countless wars. In front of the cavalry, they were wiped out like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind.
Even because the speed of the attack was too fast, before the enemy could react, Zhao Yun jumped on his horse and rushed hundreds of miles towards Dongpingling County. He led his cavalry to break into Dongpingguan and killed one of the Liangshan leaders with one shot before he could retreat. King Kong Song Wan in the Cloud!
At this time, Jinan County is being occupied by the Liangshan army. Lin Chong, one of the five tiger generals, is in charge. The green-faced beast Yang Zhi and the golden gunner Xu Ning, two of the Eight Biao Cavalry, assist him in guarding. His subordinates have gathered Song Qing, Kong Ming, Kong Liang and more than a dozen Liangshan leaders competed with the Erlongshan forces located in Dongchaoyang County.
At the same time, Taohuashan's forces in Licheng County are relatively small, but they are also guarded by Liangshan leader Pu Tiandiao Li Ying, Tiger Fighter Li Zhong, little overlord Zhou Tong and Grimace'er Duxing. The huge Liangshan bandit force almost occupies Jinan. The Baibo bandits who have been causing trouble in Yanzhou mainly operate in Zhua County and Zhuo County in the northern part of Jinan County.
According to Qin Ge's plan, Zhao Yun only needs to capture Tugu and Ziling counties and quickly eliminate the remnants of bandits in the counties.
However, because Zhao Yun's cavalry was fighting too fast, the bandits had no time to react and were killed by the whirlwind.
Zhao Yun heard that the defenders at Dongping Pass were weak. Dongping Pass was located at a strategic location between the Liangshan bandits and Tugu and Ziling counties, so Zhao Yun personally led his cavalry to charge through the pass.
As soon as the guard Song Wan heard the flash of thunder in the sky, Zhao Yun rode a Pegasus and descended from the sky. Before Song Wan could see clearly what it was, he was shot dead by Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun carried out a massacre at Dongping Pass. By the time the cavalry regiment behind them arrived, the entire Liangshan bandits at the gate were frightened and surrendered in Kaicheng.
Zhao Yun personally led 30,000 cavalry to guard Dongping Pass, and assigned Deng Zhi to lead three Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry generals to command 10,000 cavalry to guard Ziling County;
Feng Lie led three Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry generals to command 10,000 cavalry and 100,000 Taishan County reserve troops to guard Tugu County.
At the same time, the Fengyun Legion composed of 100,000 elite evolvers reorganized by Fengyun Hu, and the 300,000 evolver troops, rushed to Dongping Pass to assist Zhao Yun in guarding the Liangshan bandits.
Little Leo led 100,000 Dongyue Lin troops to Ziling County to assist Deng Zhi in guarding the county.
Let me mention here that due to Qin Ge's administrative power control policy, as long as the evolvers obey the control of the Han court, that is, pay taxes to Qin Ge, they can establish a political power under Qin Ge in Taishan County.
Qin Ge's taxation was the same as that of the Han Dynasty, and as long as the evolvers did not violate the law, their territories had very high autonomy. Therefore, many small forces that were squeezed out by the major forces came to Taishan County to establish territory.
Even Leo Little's Young Lion City, Lu Qingcheng's Qingcheng Sect, and Xuanyuan Hui's Blood Recommendation Xuanyuan all established forces in Taishan County, because Little Leo gained a lot of meritorious service with Qin Ge in the national war.
In addition, Little Leo completely handed over all the civil affairs of Little Lion City to Qin Ge, and he himself used all resources to develop military power. Qin Ge also paid taxes on the properties of Little Lion City in proportion to the agreement, and other All are the private property of Leo Little.
Little Leo was completely parasitic on Qin Ge's influence, completely handing over his territory to Qin Ge, and Qin Ge reciprocated the favor by granting Little Leo the post of Bo County Magistrate.
Since the territory was completely integrated into Qin Ge's command, Little Leo was happy to focus all his efforts on building the army, and all the soldiers were freely recruited from Taishan County.
Little Leo used all his belongings to create a Dongyue Linbing army composed of elite evolvers and aborigines!
Coupled with the commander-in-chief of the Three Kingdoms' first-class warrior Niu Jin, in terms of military power alone, Leo Little is not afraid of the first-class evolutionary forces at all.
Because he and Qin Ge have cooperated many times, they have always been in a win-win situation. Qin Ge has a soft mouth and often bites Leo, and Leo also actively participates in the Qingzhou expropriation war.
The gossip is a little far-fetched. Since Dongping Pass is facing the main force of Liangshan bandits led by Lin Chong of Jinan County, if the attack of Liangshan bandits can be blocked, Tugu and Ziling counties adjacent to Taishan County can gain a foothold. Otherwise, Jinan County will The whole army will be annihilated under the counterattack of the bandits.
Ziling County behind Dongping Pass was close to the Erlong Mountain bandits. At this time, the Iron-blooded Army Soul led the Yanhuang City army to suppress the border, and they were already fighting bloody battles with the Erlong Mountain bandits. Ziling County guarded by Deng Zhi was relatively stable.
Tugu County is facing the counterattack from the Taohuashan bandit nest where Liangshan bandits gather. This is a larger bandit force in Jinan County. It is led by Li Ying, who has the strength of a first-class historical general, and the little overlord Zhou Tong. , Tiger Fighting General Li Zhong and Grimaceer Du Xing and other Liangshan leaders assisted, so Tugu County faced a serious threat of counterattack by the bandits.
Under the coordination of Zhao Yun, Jinan County began to clear out bandits in the county, and announced announcements to appease the people.
Of course, Jinan County has experienced wars for a long time, and the idle villages have basically been destroyed. The villages are all in dangerous places, and local powerful people have formed local armed forces to protect themselves.
Due to the long history of banditry, these local forces were half farmers and half bandits. They looked on coldly at the government forces in Qilin City and were not allowed to leave. Of course, there were some remaining children of noble families who secretly communicated with them, but their numbers were sparse.
Moreover, now is only the first step to gain a foothold in Jinan County. Zhao Yun and others know that they occupied these abandoned counties and towns because the Liangshan bandits were forced to retreat due to the power of the Han army.
Once the bandits learn that the coalition forces from various states in the Han Dynasty have no intention of marching into Qingzhou, the entire Jinan County will explode in an instant.
The bandits who have gathered everywhere and fled to the mountains and forests will come like a flood. Whether they can hold on to the city will be the key to whether they can gain a foothold in Jinan.
Therefore, Zhao Yun, Deng Zhi, and Feng Lie followed the plan that had been deduced countless times and began to build the damaged city wall of the county, prepared wood, set up arrows, and devoted themselves to the intense construction work.
In Tugu County, Feng Lie directed the soldiers to build the city wall. Most of the figures walking back and forth were women. Yes, the 100,000 reserve troops commanded by Feng Lie were all women!
A force composed of women mainly consists of three major units, the 10,000 cavalry unit led by Zhao Yu, the 40,000 infantry unit led by Qin Feidong, and the 50,000 archer unit led by Qin Jilian!
The horses of the cavalry unit are all good horses from Goryeo and Karasuma. Although they are left over from Zhao Yun's cavalry unit, they are all good horses of silver quality.
Based on the expertise of women, the cavalry troops all use white-rod pear-shaped spears. Each knight is equipped with a small arm crossbow and wears light armor made of leather cloth!
The infantry led by Qin Feidong is armored that was eliminated by the Dongyue soldiers, including shield soldiers and spearmen.
Finally, there was the elite 50,000-strong archer unit led by Qin Jilian. These archers were all sharpshooters who jumped out from among women, and they were the first female soldiers to join the army. They followed the troops in the territory to participate in the defensive battle of Taishan County. Having participated in no less than ten wars, he is the basis for the defense of Tugu County this time.
The reason why Qin Jilian is led by a man is because he awakened the blood of the Qin family and realized that the command field is the 'Meteor Arrow', which greatly increased the attack range and lethality of his subordinates.
For this female archer unit, which is weak and has short range but extremely high accuracy, it is simply exclusive and perfectly makes up for their shortcomings. Therefore, even though Qin Jilian was very depressed, he was ridiculed as a 'female general' by a group of brothers.
However, the only people in the territory who were good at commanding crossbowmen in combat were Yi, Lu Weihuang and Qin Jilian. Forced by Qin Ge's power, he had to command this female archer unit in combat.
"General! All shooting positions have been arranged everywhere!" Qin Jilian walked over and gave a military salute to Feng Lie.
Feng Lie looked at Qin Jilian and said, "Jilian, your female archer army is our main force in defending against the enemy's attack this time. These... there is no problem..."
It was also the first time for Feng Lie to lead a female soldier into battle, and to be honest, he didn't feel confident.
"General! My troops are no worse than any archer troops. Don't worry, they are all battle-hardened veterans. Please just command them as normal troops!" Regarding his troops, Qin Jilian Still very confident.
"What do you mean, are you worried about us sisters?" Zhao Yu was dressed in a white military uniform, carrying a pair of ice and fire mandarin duck spears, followed by Ada, Awu and Aqi, one of the eighteen riders of Yanyun. and Qin Feidong, who was wearing heavy armor.
Feng Lie rubbed his nose in embarrassment. This Zhao Yu was very powerful. Although he only had first-class peak strength, he could compete with super-class Sun Guan, Yingzhao and others. He was simply a female version of Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yu is the main general in the defense battle of Tugu County, and his opponent is Li Ying, the Flying Eagle, so Feng Lie does not dare to offend this violent little girl.
