During the National War, Zhao Yu had the experience of participating in large-scale wars, and now commanded a 10,000-strong female cavalry regiment. Zhao Yun specifically left the mature and stable brothers A Da, A Wu, and A Qi to Zhao Yu to assist in commanding the troops. .
Feng Lie smiled awkwardly, and Zhao Yu raised his arms and shouted to the female general behind him: "My lord often said that women can hold up half the sky. We can't let these male soldiers laugh at the joke, sisters! This battle is the foundation of our female army." In the military battle, we must let the world see the military power of our Qilin City female soldiers!"
All the female generals raised their arms and shouted. That kind of female shouting made Feng Lie extremely uncomfortable. He got goosebumps all over his body. He secretly cursed Boss Qin for being too hasty.
But now it has become a foregone conclusion. Feng Lie braced himself and took out the map and said: "Since you are so eager to fight, let's make arrangements first. I plan to hoard food and grass in these three river valleys and use them as temporary supply points for the cavalry. When bandits invade on a large scale, the cavalry unit can use this as a stronghold to destroy the enemy's logistics supplies! This time the cavalry unit is the core of the battle!"
Feng Lie has rich experience in modern warfare, and has also studied ancient military strategies assiduously, and made detailed arrangements for the entire city defense battle.
"There are many good fighters with high combat effectiveness among the Liangshan bandits. Taohuashan is commanded by Pu Tiandiao Li Ying. This person has super strength. He has generals such as Li Zhong, Zhou Tong, Tang Long, and Du Xing under his command! Everyone, please be careful about this Pu Tiandiao. Sky Eagle Li Ying, I have set up a thunder god crossbow gifted by my eldest brother in the dark. If necessary, I will control this crossbow to fight with him! In addition to our secret ambush of surprise soldiers, it should be impossible to block the Sky Eagle Li Ying. Question!" Qin Jilian finally looked at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu is impulsive by nature, and Qin Jilian is afraid that she will confront Li Ying when leading the cavalry in battle!
At this time, Ji Wushang hurriedly came over, clasped his fists to Feng Lie and said, "Brother Feng! There are many evolvers who want to enter the city, saying that they want to participate in the fight against the bandits in Liangshan! Due to the vigorous publicity of Yanhuang City, many small and medium-sized forces, loners, etc. Heroes are pouring into all parts of Qingzhou, and there are hundreds of thousands of evolved forces gathered outside the county!"
Feng Lie stared at the topographic map of the county and said without raising his head: "We must lead these evolvers out of the county. Our power is already weak. The hearts of the evolvers are complex and changeable, and they are all stragglers. Lead them to the wild and let them By fighting guerrillas everywhere, we can also contain some of the bandits, and then we can gather these forces after we hold the bandits in the county and counterattack and gain a firm foothold!"
When Ji Wushang heard this, he clasped his fists at Feng Lie and left.
…
Similar to Jinan County's recovery of vacant county towns and passes, Qin Ge led an army to attack Qiguo County and quickly occupied Changguo County. The army approached Qingzhou Fucheng, the headquarters of the Liangshan bandits.
At this time, the capital city of Qingzhou was guarded by dozens of Liangshan leaders, including Yu Qilin Lu Junyi, Xiao Xuanfeng Chai Jin, Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, and Red-haired Ghost Liu Tang.
Xu Shu led his troops from the south into Guangchang County, which is adjacent to Beihai County. He joined the 300,000 troops led by Cheng Yu and the 100,000 troops led by Yueshen, and attacked Beihai County, which was controlled by Song Jiang on the front line of Liangshan.
At this time, the main force of Liangshan led by Song Jiang was confronting Liu Bei and Jiang Qiansheng. When the general led the coalition forces from various states to enter Qingzhou to suppress the bandits, Song Jiang had already organized his troops to shrink and defend Beihai County, preparing to welcome the heavy troops of the Han Dynasty.
Qin Ge's unscrupulous advance made the bandit forces in Qingzhou even more panicked. It seemed that behind Qin Ge, the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Han Dynasty was like a savage beast, and they rushed into Qingzhou in an instant.
In the capital city of Yanzhou, He Jin and the generals were chatting, drinking and drinking in a harmonious atmosphere.
Qin Ge arrogantly accepted that Jinan County and Qiguo County had strategically important cities and dangerous areas.
Man Chong coordinated the newly formed Le'an County soldiers, the Karasuma Rangers, and the Free Navy, in conjunction with the navy from Yanhuang City, to launch a counterattack against the various bandits in Le'an County, and the momentum was overwhelming.
Many bandits came to surrender because they were afraid of the might of the Han court troops and Qin Ge's reputation in Qingzhou.
Qin Ge accepted all the surrendered bandits. He first promised official positions to the bandit leaders, and then secretly imprisoned them in the passes near Taishan County. He collected their troops and weapons and transferred them to the cities and passes near Taishan County. Confiscated.
The Qingzhou New Deal was promulgated to those who were willing to serve the people, and they were demobilized to serve the people. For the young and middle-aged people who were willing to join the army, they were recruited and organized into reserve forces. Some of the bandit leaders who knew the truth were recruited and entrusted with important tasks.
At the same time, garrison troops were sent to the strategically located mountain strongholds to repair them and use them as strongholds, while useless mountain strongholds were burned to the ground.
In less than half a month, more than 700,000 bandits were captured in Qiguo County and Jinan County. This was all based on the reputation of the Qin Ge War and the reputation accumulated in Qingzhou since the Yellow Turban Rebellion!
It also confirmed the feasibility of Guan Zhong's strategic plan from the side. The victory in the first battle greatly increased the confidence of many generals in regaining Qingzhou.
Qin Ge was now standing at Changping Pass, a hundred miles outside Qingzhou Fucheng. This pass was surrounded by mountains and rivers, directly cutting off the transportation hub in the northwest of Qingzhou Fucheng. It was also the transportation hub that blocked Lu Junyi's army from advancing northward.
If Changping Pass can be held, Lu Junyi's army can be blocked, thereby preserving the recaptured Banyang, Xinwen and other counties.
At the gate of the city, Qin Ge and Tian Feng stood at the gate. Qin Ge touched the solid stone of the gate and sighed: "Everything is as planned. We have finally taken this step. How are the settlements of the surrendered bandits? "
Tian Feng stood with his hands behind his back and said: "It's all because of your lord's great reputation in Qingzhou. The people look forward to you like rain, the strong and righteous men of Qingzhou respect you like a god, and the evil bandits tremble when they hear your name! We have established a temporary governor in Banyang County All the important military and political affairs of the government, Qiguo County and Jinan County will be transmitted to the Governor's Mansion. Guan Zhong will be in charge of the Governor's Mansion, which not only makes the logistics of this strategy smooth, but also allows people's livelihood to be restored quickly. Those petty thieves cannot make big waves! It was just reported from Jinan County The army reported that General Zilong occupied Tugu and Ziling counties according to the original plan. General Zilong was brave and took advantage of the situation to capture Dongping Pass and killed the bandit general Yunli Jingang and Song Wan! If he could block Jinan County City If Lin Chong's army counterattacks, Jinan County will also gain a firm foothold!"
Qin Ge's eyes flashed when he heard this. He is currently attacking Qingzhou. Although it is Qi, Jinan, and Le'an counties, it is because of the stretched military strength.
They can only focus on attacking Qiguo County, where the state capital is located, and Le'an County, which was laid out a long time ago.
Because there were too many bandits and thieves, Qi Guo County was completely defensive this time. Most of them were basically offensive battles, and the cavalry could not display its combat power at all.
The expeditionary cavalry regiment led by Zhao Yun could only be like the Karasuma Rangers who marched into Le'an County. After Qin Ge established a foothold in Qingzhou, he could use the mobility of the cavalry to wipe out the bandits wandering around!
However, Qin Ge had a mysterious confidence in Zhao Yun. Back then, Zhao Yun was able to lead a group of cavalry to conquer the cities of Youzhou and create impossible miracles one after another.
Qin Ge expected Zhao Yun to create a miracle in Jinan County, so he personally ordered generals to change Jinan County's defensive strategy into an offensive strategy, and Zhao Yun was fully responsible for the battle.
Although this move made Guan Zhong, Xu Shu, and Tian Feng very confused, because the cavalry's participation in offensive and defensive position battles was simply a waste of this force, but Qin Ge defied all opinions and implemented Jinan County's strategy, targeting Zhao Yun!
And if it can gain a foothold in Jinan County, it will divert three to four million refugees. This is what Qin Ge is most concerned about. Taishan County is really overwhelmed.
"On the Qiguo County side, Han Hao led the army to guard Banyang County, and Qin Jiben led the army to guard Xinwen County. This is a big gamble! If we can persist in this bandit wave, our Qingzhou strategy will be firmly established. One step, if we fail, we will be overwhelmed by the bandits and chopped into pieces by the swarming bandits!" Qin Ge stared at the afterglow of the setting sun on the horizon, and he had even begun to smell the smell of blood.
It was this kind of desperate gambling that made the blood in Qin Ge's body begin to boil, and those eyes released a radiance that was more fascinating than the afterglow of the sun!
Tian Feng stood behind Qin Ge. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Qin Ge's back became longer and longer. Tian Feng raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said: "The silent tiger is beginning to wake up!"
…
In Beihai County, the leaders of Liangshan gathered in the hall. At this time, under the plaque of the Juyi Hall, sat a short man with dark features and a tiger sitting like a wolf. This man was Song Jiang, the lord of Liangshan.
There were two people sitting on both sides of Song Jiang. One of them was dressed as a scholar, but he wore a crown of Ge scarf, held a feather fan, and wore a robe that was half Confucian and half Taoist. He had three strands of long beard and was unusually delicate. This person was Wu Yong, the wise star.
The other person, wearing the uniform of a Quanzhen Taoist priest, holding a white fly whisk, and carrying an ancient sword with pine patterns on his back, closed his eyes and meditated as if his soul was wandering beyond the sky, elegant and refined with a trace of fairy spirit. This person is Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng.
On both sides of the hall, a group of Liangshan heroes of different shapes were sitting. At this time, everyone was eating meat and drinking heavily, and the place was filled with heroic spirit.
Song Jiang was worried at this time, stroking his beard and said: "The champion's army entered Qingzhou with great momentum. However, after he occupied the county seat and several passes, he began to stand still, and the army of General He Jin still stayed in Yanzhou. , isn’t he afraid that we will devour Qin Ge’s vanguard force in one go? Or is this just a cover? The army has secretly sneaked into Qingzhou, and magic weapons may descend from the sky at any time! This time the imperial court sent troops, the evil nature is revealed everywhere, which is unpredictable. It’s not transparent!”
Wu Yong's eyes were narrow and he gently shook his feather fan and said: "According to the current situation of the Han Dynasty, even if the general's troops penetrate deep into Qingzhou, it will be difficult to pacify Qingzhou within a few years. According to my estimation, the treasury and financial resources of the Han court at this time should not be able to support it. Stay tuned for this Eastern Expedition! This matter has been weird from the beginning, and I actually think it’s a scam!”
Song Jiang shook his head and laughed when he heard this: "Mr. Jialiang means that the Han conquest of Qingzhou is a lie. Does Qin Ge dare to use a million troops to pacify Qingzhou? This is simply a joke!" The leaders laughed after hearing this. got up.
Wu Yong frowned and said: "Qin Ge's troops are indeed insufficient, but the recent influx of a large number of evolvers has added a lot of momentum to this expedition, and now Qin Ge's troops have occupied various dangerous passes. The various transportation hubs are places that are easy to defend but difficult to attack. According to Qin Ge’s marching formation, it is a strategic defensive posture!"
Song Jiang hesitated and said: "I think we need to inquire more about this matter! Where is Dai Zong? You must quickly inquire about the intelligence of the Han Dynasty's coalition forces. If there is any delay, military law will be engaged!"
A lean man with a ponytail and an elegant expression walked out from the side. This man was none other than Daizong, the Taibao of Shenxing. He traveled thousands of miles a day and served as the chief detective of Liangshan.
After Daizong clasped his fists at Song Jiang in response, he turned into a breeze and dissipated in the hall.
…
In the Chengyang County Prefect's Mansion, Liu Bei was sitting in the main seat. At this time, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and other generals were seated in the hall.
There were four unfamiliar faces beside him, none other than Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, and a majestic man who looked exactly like Guan Yu. This man was Guan Sheng, the broadsword who was accused of plotting to rebel.
Sitting behind him was a man with an ugly face, nostrils turned upward, and a face like a steel needle. This man was Ma Xuanzan from Chou County.
There is another person who has a slender body, a thin face, and a body like a leopard. This person is Jing Mugan Hao Siwen. Both of them are Guan Sheng's close brothers.
That day Guan Yu came to recruit. Guan Sheng met his ancestor Guan Yu and turned against Liangshan directly.
With the help of Liu, Guan, and Zhang, Guan Sheng, Xuan Zan, and Hao Siwen broke away from the shackles of the banner of Beitian Xingdao, and led 100,000 close Liangshan banner soldiers to surrender to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was already weak and was almost destroyed by the Liangshan bandits. He had no choice but to seek skin from the tiger and join forces with Jiang Qiansheng's Yellow Turban bandits to fight against the Liangshan bandits.
It was precisely because of Guan Sheng's defection that he and the Xingyao Yellow Turbans were able to survive the fierce offensive of the Liangshan bandits, and their power increased instead of falling, and now they have been able to stabilize the situation in Yangcheng County.
"Is there no news yet about when the general's army will enter Qingzhou?" Liu Bei turned around and asked Kong Rong while drinking wine from his glass.
"Liu Dai, the governor of Bingzhou, is an old friend of mine. He sent a message yesterday. The general is feasting every day, but he has not mentioned the military strategy of marching into Qingzhou! Liu Gongshan and Tao Gongzu are joining forces with the Yanxu gentry to persuade the general to march!" Kong Rong He also said with doubts on his face: "However, in the past ten days or so, the army of champion Hou Qinge has entered Qingzhou. He is the conquering general and the vanguard of this expedition to Qingzhou. He has already marched, which means that the imperial troops are not far away." !”
