Chapter 423: The Gathering of Storms
It took a day for the army to cross the Xin'an River, and then arrived outside the county seat of Qingxi.
A huge camp has already been established, and after Bai Qing entered the camp with the army, he saw Zhang Xian, who had separated from the large army from the beginning of the suppression of bandits, and attacked Fenshui County all the way.
After Zhang Xian recovered Fenshui County, he followed Yue Fei's instructions and came to the Qingxi County without stopping, dragging more than 100,000 thieves in Qingxi County here to death, so that they did not dare to send troops to support the war in Sui'an County, and at the same time, he also seized the time to build this huge official and military camp.
Although Zhang Xian's former army is only 40,000 people, but after all, this front army belongs to Yue Fei's account, and its combat power is second only to the existence of the Beiwei army, so although the thieves in the city occupy an absolute advantage in the scale of the soldiers, but after the battle, those thieves found that this 40,000 people is actually a very difficult bone to gnaw, and they have resisted their many fierce attacks.
Until they got the news of the destruction of Sui'an City and gradually shrunk the defensive line, although the casualties of the front army were relatively large, they were only barely injured, and they still had six or seven percent of their combat strength.
With a mere 40,000 troops, dragging more than 100,000 troops here for six or seven days won a valuable opportunity for the main force, and this Zhang Xian can be regarded as a great achievement.
And Bai Qing's trip to the expedition can be regarded as an eye-opener, although he is already known for his good fighting on weekdays, but after seeing those elite soldiers and fierce generals under Yue Fei, he also has a lot of experience.
The so-called threesome must have my teacher, all the time. Bai Qing has always maintained a humble attitude.
After entering the camp, Bai Qing found out at this time. At this time, it was not only their team that had been stationed in the official army camp.
Yue Fei's Shengjie Army, Breaking the Enemy Army, Fuzhou, Qizhou, and Taizhou's Xiang Army. After completing the originally scheduled goal, they came to this Qingxi to meet with Yue Fei's team and prepare for the final offensive.
Of course, these teams are not the only ones who have completed the offensive task, but in comparison, these teams are relatively close to this Qingxi County.
For others, Yue Fei did not recruit them again. It's just that they can form an encirclement around Qingxi to prevent any more fish from slipping through the net after capturing Qingxi.
It can be said that before the final attack on the thieves in Qingxi County, Yue Fei had already laid a net for them, and even if they had wings, it would be difficult to fly out of her palm.
And in these teams stationed in the camp, Bai Qing also saw some familiar figures, that is, Song Jiang and others.
After following Yue Fei's team to complete his mission, Song Jiang also followed him to this camp. I want to get another piece of the pie from the final credit.
However, this time's encirclement and suppression of Fang La, for Song Jiang, was not as smooth as their previous encirclement and suppression of Wang Qing and Tian Hu, and it was regarded as Fang La. This is the third time in a row that they have been fighting, and they don't even have a chance to breathe in the middle, those people on Liangshan. Both spiritually and physically. They are all exhausted to the extreme, and secondly, Song Jiang's background is not very glorious after all. Even if he accepted the court's recruitment, and made a lot of contributions to Wang Qing and Tian Hu before, but in the eyes of those generals, they didn't look down on them at all, all kinds of dirty work and tiring work were handed over to them to do, and Song Jiang had to pay for a smile every time, and after a long time, everyone on Liangshan also had a fire in their hearts.
And this time when they attacked Xzhou, they were regarded as the vanguard army, although in the end they still had the last laugh, but after counting down, they also suffered heavy casualties, more than half of the generals were folded in this campaign, although it was a little tragic, but Song Jiang did not regret it, in his opinion, these sacrifices gave those brothers who survived, in exchange for a good future.
"The last general, Song Jiang, has seen Yue Shuai!"
Song Jiang also saw Yue Fei's figure at this time, and hurriedly brought a few henchmen to come over to greet Yue Fei.
Although Yue Fei felt that the person in front of him was very unfamiliar, but after hearing him report to his home, he immediately remembered his identity, so he subconsciously glanced at Bai Qing not far away, although he was a little careless when he was just now, but Yue Fei was still keenly aware that Song Jiang seemed to be pretending to be cold to Bai Qing.
Thinking of this, Yue Fei looked at Bai Qing's gaze with a bit of a smile in his eyes.
Yue Fei's eyes were a little blatant, and Bai Qing naturally noticed the teasing in her eyes, but Bai Qing didn't care about this, he had always had a bad impression of Song Jiang, seeing that Song Jiang didn't mean to come over to say hello, Bai Qing didn't bother to pay attention to these, so he turned his face to the side and pretended to look at the scenery.
When Song Jiang really couldn't avoid it, and came over to make a routine salute, Bai Qing just nodded coldly, and went straight to the side, but Fang Jinzhi, who had been following Bai Qing every inch during this time, glanced at Song Jiang with some complicated eyes, and then followed Bai Qing's footsteps tightly, and for a while, he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
After a little rest, since Yue Fei is the commander of the entire army, so in the evening, it is naturally indispensable to have a banquet to catch the wind, even if the conditions are a little difficult, after all, they are all things in the world.
The officials and soldiers held a feast here, but in Qingxi City, there was a tense atmosphere from top to bottom.
If a few days ago, the team in the city would take the initiative to attack the officers and soldiers outside the city, then now, even if they saw the sound of singing and laughter in the official camp outside the city, but the Manichaean people in the city lost the courage to attack.
In the past few days, they have seen very clearly that in the large camp of the officers and soldiers outside the city, a large number of officers and soldiers have been stationed in the city, and the number of officers and soldiers gathered outside the city has reached an appalling number.
Even those ordinary sect members smelled a trace of unusual danger, and they didn't need too many words, they also knew very well in their hearts that this big battle with the official army was already on the verge of breaking out, the difference was only that the time when this battle started would be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even tonight.
During the day, many people saw with their own eyes that Fang Jie, the high-spirited general who was originally in the court, led some men and horses who lost their armor and entered the city with an embarrassed face......
