Just when Song Jiang was anxious and helpless, God helped Song Jiang, and another sentinel came to report, the officers and soldiers did not rush to the direction of Qingfeng Mountain, and went directly south from the road in front of the mountain, and not a single soldier turned to the fork in front of the mountain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as they heard this, the three tigers exhaled a long breath together, each with a relieved look on their faces, and their tense bodies slowly relaxed.

Wang Ying's spiritual head came again, and the little short legs jumped and shouted: "Presumably, Thunderbolt also knows the power of our Qingfeng Three Tigers, and he doesn't dare to make a light offense." ”

This is purely a slap on the swollen face, and the fat man has put gold on his face.

When the other Erhu and Song Jiang heard this, they were very disapproving.

Even Song Jiang, who heard about Qin Ming for the first time as a tiger general, didn't know how capable Qin Ming was, muttered in his heart: Thinking that Qin Ming is called Thunderbolt Fire, how can he be so timid? Will you be scared? I'm afraid that even if you three tigers add one piece, it won't be enough for Qin Ming to clean it up alone. Otherwise, when you three tigers hear Qin Ming's name, they will all be frightened by the six gods?

However, everyone also understands that Wang Ying's boasting is to cover up his embarrassing appearance of being paralyzed to the ground in fright, and to save some face. This also has the effect of soothing people's hearts, so no one said anything to refute and expose Wang Ying, just listened.

The catastrophe at the top of Mount Tai seems to have dissipated in a blink of an eye, but the crisis has really passed so lightly?

Fools also know that it can't be.

The officers and men will not go out and make a bend when they are full of food and have nothing to do, and they will demonstrate and march around with force, and it will be over.

The grain and grass weapons are complete, the heavy generals are all out, and the officers and soldiers must be ready to fight a big battle when they come out, and the target is nothing more than the bandits of the Three Mountains.

Coming out of Fucheng, the thieves who first passed by Qingfeng Mountain but let go of it did not fight, I am afraid that it is not that they do not want to exterminate, but they disdain to delay time here, and the officers and soldiers have other big goals.

Even if Song Jiang was just a guest here, not the leader of Qingfeng Village, he couldn't help but blush for the Three Tigers.

You are robbers, how miserable do you have to be so that the officers and soldiers pass by and ignore them?

The Three Evil Tigers are all vulgar and unliterate, and they don't think carefully and deeply, but they don't have the kind of shameful and delicate literati of Song Jiang. They were only concerned about the fact that the officers and soldiers did not come to fight and escaped the catastrophe and were relaxed and excited, and one by one they shook out the heroic style and shouted to drink wine and eat meat to celebrate.

Song Jiang smiled silently, but he thought in his stomach: Who will be the primary target of this dispatch of officers and soldiers?

Is it Erlong Mountain, which is the most powerful, or Peach Blossom Mountain, which is said to be the most hated by the Qingzhou government?

Having said that, no matter which one the officers and soldiers clean up, this Qingfeng Village is afraid that it will be dangerous.

If the official army wins, they will definitely not let go of the weakest Qingfeng Village, and they will clean it up when they turn around; Even if he loses, as long as he is not so miserable that he loses strength to be able to deal with Qingfeng Village, whether it is the officers and soldiers who are angry and ashamed, or the generals who want to atone for their crimes and save face, go back and give an explanation to Shangguan, they will still come over to exterminate here. Qingfeng Village is like a meritorious achievement, and the officers and soldiers will always receive it.

This is not the eye of the storm, but it is already a disaster point, not a place to stay for a long time.

As soon as he thought of this, Song Jiang was relieved, but he would not leave immediately.

At this time, he left, leaving the three tigers alone to face the storm, this is unjust, and the friendship with the three tigers is over, and he is not responsible. It's hard to mix in the future.

According to Song Jiang's analysis, the officers and men should have gone to attack Taohua Mountain first, and would not first go to Erlong Mountain, which was too difficult to fight, and hit a wall and frustrated their sharpness.

He had to stay and wait to see the situation and the development of the situation before making a decision.

If Peach Blossom Mountain is invincible and dies, it is just taking advantage of the urgency of the crisis and the opportunity for the three tigers to have few choices, showing their relationship with Chao Gai, and persuading the three tigers to abandon Qingfeng Village and take refuge in Erlong Mountain to protect their fate and future. At that time, I was not afraid of the wild, I was used to it, and I just wanted to be the master of my own house, and the three tigers who were at ease did not bow their heads and obeyed honestly. I will not be exposed as a rebel wanted by the imperial court, and I can continue to go to Qingfeng Village.

Song Jiang calculated shrewdly, immediately dismissed the miscellaneous people, and privately told the Three Tigers about his speculation about the actions of the officers and soldiers and the crisis faced by the cottage, and asked the Three Tigers not to be careless, and to quickly encourage the minions to prepare for the crisis that may come at any time.

The three tigers are not stupid, as soon as Song Jiang clicked, they suddenly realized, and they all broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly ordered their cronies to pack up the money and important things quietly while preparing for martial arts, so that they could escape in time if the situation was not good.

The three tigers were robbers, and they have been entrenched in Qingfeng Mountain for many years. Qingzhou used to be a prosperous and wealthy state, and the local big families were not old or young, and the landlords and bullies in the countryside alone were enough for the three tigers to grab for a while. How can people like the Three Tigers take Minions seriously, naturally they take all the good things they have stolen themselves, give a small amount of money to their subordinates, and have a lot of gold, silver and jewelry for all their private individuals.

Song Jiang didn't need to look at it, he could guess the behavior of the three tigers in private, and he didn't break it, and waited to see the situation move.

It is said that the Thunderbolt Fire Qin Mingtong army went on the expedition, passed by Qingfeng Mountain, and disdained to look at this non-first attack target, destroyed Peach Blossom Mountain, turned around and turned over and cleaned up.

The military quality of the three tigers in Qingfeng Village is not very good, they are purely grass thieves despised by the government, how high can the quality of the sentry under the three tigers be? The investigation of the enemy situation is vague and unclear, and there is no accurate information.

The officers and soldiers were led by Qin Ming and Huang Xin. The flag of the main general is clearly marked, the flag flutters fiercely in the wind, and the big characters can be seen at a glance from afar. It is true that there are not a few generals and colonies participating in the war, not counting the commanders who lead the team, such as the local defense, the deputy envoy of regimental training, the captain of Renyong, and the captain of the accompanying army. The cavalry of the Qingzhou Army did participate in the battle.

However, Qin Ming only led 16 officers and soldiers this time, and the 8,000 officers and soldiers of the command and envoy headquarters (500 people per commander in the Song system are a battalion), how can there be a terrifying 20,000 people reported by the Qingfeng Zhai scouts?

The cavalry only dispatched 500 horsemen, how could the sound of horses' hooves alone scare thousands of people to death? After Cui Meng lost 300 cavalry, the remaining 700 cavalry, leaving 200 cavalry and 17,000 infantry to defend the city.

In fact, the generals who accompanied the battle only accounted for a small half of the Qingzhou army. But Bi Yingyuan, the deputy general of the Qingzhou Army, and the two partial generals Wu Qiong and You Yuanming were all dispatched.

The Qingzhou army had more than 25,000 soldiers, but Qin Ming and Huang Xin only brought 8,000 and a small number of generals to battle. This is mainly because the prefect Murong Yanda is afraid of death, and he is afraid that a cent of troops will go out, and the city will be empty.

Of course, the fair and honest statement is to leave the heavy troops in order to carry out the next step of the multi-state capital force to encircle Erlongshan. It is also convenient to increase troops to support Qin Ming at any time.

These words are also good to Qin Ming, who is loyal to the prefect and has a solid eye, and Huang Xin, the commander of the soldiers and horses, does not believe it, and knows very well in his heart that the prefect is reluctant to send more soldiers because he is afraid of death.

However, Huang Xin and Thunderbolt Qin Ming are also confident that they will be able to clean up the bandits of Peach Blossom Mountain with these horses, and they will not go to fight with the prefect to ask for their own fun.

This side of Peach Blossom Mountain.

Zhu Long Zhu Biao went with confidence but returned unexpectedly defeated, and failed to subdue the people of Qingfeng Village, which made Zhu Wannian, who had a good abacus, very surprised and disappointed.

After asking the details, he pondered for a while and then smiled, comforting Zhu Biao, who was full of anger and unconvinced, and Zhu Long, who was full of shame, and the two nephews who were full of shame did not have to take this matter to heart, and did not think about going back to revenge, now is not the time. Qingfeng Village has added a new leader, and its strength has suddenly increased a lot, which is not a bad thing for Taohua Mountain, it should be more useful, and let the two sons go down to rest for a good life, and the big war is coming.

Sure enough.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Qingzhou army came in a mighty way. The Peach Blossom Mountain Cottage suddenly fell into an unprecedented state of tension and was heavily guarded.

However, Qin Ming, who has always been as anxious as fire, was unusual, and did not attack in a hurry this time, but directly forced to five miles in front of the mountain to order the troops to set up camp and take a defensive position to prevent the Peach Blossom Mountain Bandits from taking the opportunity to attack.

He did not change his temper and was not in a hurry to start the war, but saw that it was getting late, and the soldiers marched all the way to the army, and rushed from the city to Taohuashan on a hot day, and they were tired and had no spirit to fight, and it was unfavorable to start the war immediately, so he abided by the military principle of not using tired soldiers, and after discussing with Huang Xin, Bi Yuanming and other generals, he decided to rest for a night, and it was not too late to fight again tomorrow, so as to save the soldiers from hunger, thirst, irritability, fatigue, and no intention to fight.

After all, these soldiers are veteran soldiers in the mainland, not hard-fought soldiers who have fought hard at the border gates, and too many soldiers, including generals and colonels, have never really fought a war, and they are already timid and unwilling to fight, and the combat effectiveness and morale that have been formed after a year of hard training cannot be easily buried.

Zhu Biao, who had lost face in Qingfeng Village and was angry, saw the officers and soldiers coming, and shouted that he wanted to go down the mountain to challenge and show his prestige, so that the officers and soldiers knew that he knew how powerful the good sons of the Zhu family were, and also said that the officers and soldiers were tired from afar, and it was a good opportunity to bully, but they were stopped by Zhu Wannian.

The situation in the area of Peach Blossom Mountain is tense, and the situation is about to erupt, but the strange officials and bandits are safe for a while.

In the midst of their own heavy guards, the night was uneventful.

Early the next morning, the officers and soldiers had breakfast, rested for a while, and consumed food (this was learned from Wen Chenghou with the soldiers, saying that just after eating is not conducive to immediate vigorous exercise and fighting, and this experience was also summed up from the western army and other border armies) Qin Ming then promoted the account to transfer the generals, and ordered 3,000 soldiers to stay in the camp to protect the armament, grain and grass in case the bandits took advantage of the weakness to attack the camp, burned the grain and grass, destroyed the supply of the officers and soldiers, and brought the remaining soldiers and horses to kill the front of the mountain together, and the soldiers who raised their voices insulted and challenged Sizhu.

When Zhu Biao heard the insults, he was furious, gritted his teeth and swore that he would kill this group of bird officers and soldiers who dared to provoke without leaving a piece of armor.

Zhu Long and Zhu Hu were also so angry that they were full of murderous intent and gathered all their strength. The thieves of the cottage were also fierce and widened their eyes.

Although Zhu Wannian was the first time to command this kind of war, he was very old and calm, and when he saw that the morale was available, he was satisfied, and immediately ordered troops to fight, but he did not order those fierce and daring core elite troops of the cottage to attack and strive for a heavy defeat in the first battle.

It is said that money is used when it is used to hate less. It's the same with talent. At this time, the shortcomings of the lack of the leader of Peach Blossom Mountain were revealed.

All four uncles and nephews of the Zhu family will fight. There are no more armed leaders left behind in the cottage.

Zhu Wannian was calm and composed, and did not get angry for the lack of available leaders, and did not blame Zhu Biao for being cruel at this moment and forcing away the brave leader of the Shaking Mountain God King to the list, so that there was no one available at the moment, and ordered the backbone leader of the Zhu family to lead the elite of the village to stay behind. With a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he didn't know what to think, and he and his third nephew led the team down the mountain with five hundred horses.

The two armies of soldiers and bandits faced each other, shooting arrows at each other to hold the corners.

The generals of both sides carefully observed the opponent's position and strength.

Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming wore a helmet through the armor, carried a heavy mace, and was majestic under the banner of the main general, glaring at the opponent with disdain.

Look at these bandits' messy costumes and messy weapons, just a mob, barely neatly arranged, sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, archers...... The arrangement is also clearly layered, the attack and defense are also complete, but most of the people are crooked and twisted upside down, and they don't look like they stand upside down, and the ruffians and scoundrels gather together to form a gang of robbers, no matter how fierce and reckless they are, they can only fight with knives and bully the rabble of good people and people, which can be a blow. Peach Blossom Mountain thieves dare to repeatedly arrogantly provoke the authority of the government with such strength?

In this battle, as long as the arrogant four sons of the Zhu family are destroyed, there is no need to worry about the number of remaining thieves. A bunch of mad pigs and wild dogs to be slaughtered, all to the credit.

Zhu Wannian was also dressed in fine iron armor, carrying a halberd, riding a horse snatched from a horse dealer passing through Qingzhou, and standing in front of the formation with his nephew coldly looking at the officers and soldiers about 200 meters or so opposite. He noticed the disdain of the officers and soldiers for the soldiers and horses of Peach Blossom Mountain, and stared at Qin Ming, but he also looked disdainful, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Others are afraid of Qin Ming's bravery, but I wish you ten thousand years are not afraid.

If this battle was just a contest between two people, he was confident that he would harden Qin Ming, even if he couldn't kill Qin Ming, he could defeat it, and he wouldn't be injured and lose.

It's just that this is a big battle between the two armies, and if you want to win, you have to be good at calculating and calculating with bandits with unfavorable armor against well-equipped officers and soldiers.

Although there are many officers and generals, the real power is nothing more than a thunderbolt.

I wish Wannian to be prepared for the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers. Today is the time to put the plan into action and prove who the real heroes are.

Both generals are confident and confident of victory.

Qin Ming was anxious, and he opened his mouth and was about to scold the formation to provoke and start a confrontation, when he saw the opponent rushing out of the formation.

Peach Blossom Mountain came out to take the lead, but it was not Zhu Biao, who was arrogant and conceited, brave and strong, and the most impetuous and eager to show his skills, and fought to fight and spit out the anger and evil anger of the defeat of Qingfeng Village, but Zhu Long, the boss of the dragon and tiger biao. Zhu Biao was able to calm down in front of the horse army for a long time.

Zhu Long came to the front of the two armies, and pointed his horse at Huang Xin, the commander of the soldiers and horses, and shouted: "Huang Xin, aren't you known as the three mountains of the town?" If you have the courage, come up and compete with your dragon master. ”

"If you are not afraid of death, you will come up and let you Grandpa Long, I see what skills you have, dare to enlarge the three mountains of the town."

"The three mountains in your town can't be the ants nest in your yard, right?"

Zhu Long's foul language and loud insults continued, and his behavior was extremely arrogant. (To be continued.) )
