I summoned all the famous generals of history in another world.

Chapter 71 Rectification

The flashing of swords and the clash of blades created a piercing metallic clang.

Shouts and screams rose and fell, chilling the heart.

Although the county troops in the town had gathered all the soldiers of Qingshan County and were numerous, they gradually fell into a disadvantageous position under the combined attack of Sun Wukong and the vanguard army.

Their formation was broken, their defenses were torn apart, and their morale quickly plummeted.

In the fierce battle, the buildings inside the city gate were completely destroyed, and the streets were littered with fallen soldiers and scattered weapons.

As night gradually receded, the light of dawn slowly illuminated the devastated battlefield.

The air was thick with smoke and the stench of blood, and the streets were littered with countless weapons and wreckage.

The soldiers of the raiding force and the vanguard leaned wearily but contentedly against the city wall, their faces bearing the weariness of battle and the joy of victory.

Sun Wukong stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance.

He held the magnificent Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand. The previous long staff had long been worn down by Sun Wukong's divine power, and was covered with knife marks and bloodstains.

"Ha ha!"

"Well done, Wukong!"

Qin Qiong, leading his vanguard army into the city, looked at the Cangzhou army flags fluttering high on the city walls.

He turned around and punched Sun Wukong on the shoulder, then laughed at the blood-soaked Sun Wukong.

"Hehe, Uncle Bao, shall we press our advantage now?"

"While Qizhou is still caught off guard, let's press on and take down a few more cities in one fell swoop?"

Sun Wukong, who was resting, perked up when he saw Qin Qiong appear behind him and smiled at Qin Qiong.

They were eager to try and take the opportunity to capture a few cities.

"this..."

"No!"

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's suggestion, Qin Qiong hesitated for a moment before firmly refusing.

For the vanguard army, the most important thing is to establish a bridgehead for the main force behind them.

Now that the mission is largely complete, any rash actions would likely lead to unforeseen changes in strategy.

Therefore, as a qualified commander, Qin Qiong chose to play it safe.

"Now, our vanguard army only needs to secure a bridgehead for the lord's subsequent army."

"There's little need to press the advantage."

Seeing the puzzled look in Sun Wukong's eyes, Qin Qiong spoke slowly.

"Now, some of the defeated soldiers in Qingshan County have already fled. Even if we take more cities by rushing through the night with the advantage of our warhorses, it will be of no use."

"From the perspective of the overall situation, the gain or loss of one city is not of great importance."

Seeing the wisdom in Sun Wukong's eyes, Qin Qiong sighed and explained to him.

Seeing that Sun Wukong was still impatient, Qin Qiong shook his head and went down from the city wall to tidy up Qingshan County.

Qingshan County has just been captured by the vanguard army of Cangzhou, and the county magistrate and county commandant died in battle.

Qin Qiong had a lot of things to do and didn't have time to waste with Sun Wukong's nonsense.

Let him continue pretending to be a master on the city wall without saying a word!

"Pass on my order: take control of all the key roads in Qingshan County!"

After descending from the city wall, Qin Qiong quickly got into action, organizing his men to control key locations within the city and prevent the remaining enemy troops still in Qingshan County from escaping.

At the same time, he ordered his subordinates to begin restoring order within the city, appeasing the people, and ensuring the safety of the city.

As dawn broke, the first rays of sunlight appeared.

After a night of fierce fighting, Qingshan County has been captured.

At this time, there were no more soldiers from Qingshan County on the streets of Qingshan County. People began to come out of their homes one after another, looking around in amazement.

Qin Qiong stood in the main hall of the county government office, looking at a rough layout map of the entire Qingshan County.

Tasks began to be assigned, and orders were issued continuously from the county government office, reaching every corner of Qingshan County.

A group of soldiers were responsible for patrolling the city to ensure security.

Another group of soldiers was responsible for requisitioning civilian houses to serve as camps for the army, while others were responsible for collecting supplies from the city to provide for the army.

Under Qin Qiong's command, the rectification work in Qingshan County began to proceed in an orderly manner.

However, Qin Qiong did not let his guard down.

Now that the vanguard army has launched its first battle in Qizhou, the other cities not far from Qingshan County will receive the news at any time and send troops to check the situation.

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the city, Qin Qiong needed to further strengthen the city's defenses and reinforce the city walls.

As time passed, under Qin Qiong's arrangement, Qingshan County gradually transformed into a steel hedgehog.

He ordered his soldiers to patrol day and night, keeping a close watch on any activity outside the city.

At the same time, Qin Qiong also transferred most of the sharpshooters from the vanguard army of tens of thousands of men to emulate his lord's Vermilion Bird Camp.

An elite archer unit was organized and stationed on the high ground of the city wall, ready to deal with any possible attack from the enemy forces of Qizhou.

Secondly, Qin Qiong set about restoring order in the city, dispatching soldiers to patrol the streets to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.

Those thugs who took advantage of the chaos and disrupted order were decisively suppressed to restore order to the city.

While Qin Qiong was busy reorganizing Qingshan County, wanting to make it a bridgehead for the Cangzhou Army in Qizhou.

Meanwhile, Su Ye, Li Jing, and others, who were leading the Cangzhou army along the road cleared by Qin Qiong's vanguard, also received a battle report that Qin Qiong's vanguard had captured Qingshan County.

Under the bright candlelight, Su Ye sat upright in the central military tent, his eyes firm and profound.

Li Jing, Yao Guangxiao, and others also gathered in the main tent at this time.

"Report—" A messenger rushed into the tent, breathless, "Your Excellency, General Qin's vanguard has crossed the mountains and captured Qingshan County in Qizhou!"

"Okay, go and rest now."

Su Ye remained unusually calm. He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Pharmacist, Uncle Bao and his men have already launched their first battle and captured a county town in Qizhou."

"Presumably, the cities of Qizhou surrounding Qingshan County have already learned of the fall of Qingshan County."

Waving the messenger away, Su Ye turned to Li Jing and said.

"My lord, our army of over 100,000 from Cangzhou is marching in a mighty force straight toward Qizhou, without any attempt to conceal it."

"I suppose the Prince of Qi of Qizhou will sooner or later learn of the whereabouts and purpose of my Cangzhou army."

Seeing his lord looking at him, Li Jing, sitting at the lower end, spoke slowly.

"Previously, Prince Qi was affected by the rise of various princes within the Dayong Dynasty, and Qizhou was located in the north of Dayong."

"Therefore, the Prince of Qi deployed most of his Qizhou army in the south of Qizhou to guard against the princes within the territory of Dayong."

Li Jing glanced at the map of Qizhou hanging in the military tent.

"Now that the Prince of Qi has learned that Cangzhou has launched a large-scale invasion, he will surely mobilize the army from the south of Qizhou to come west to defend against the army from Cangzhou."

"In an attempt to block the enemy in the mountains west of Qizhou."

Li Jing pointed to the Qizhou army's symbol in the south and the continuous mountain range in the west of Qizhou on the Qizhou landscape map.
