Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 662

The scout commander's return really made Peng Biao very frustrated.

If the southern thief was really just pretending to disturb the enemy, then he really succeeded. He attached great importance to this battle, and he wanted to take this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the southern thief.But if the thief just went out of the city for a stroll and then returned, his wish would naturally come to nothing. He was just busying himself, not to mention the psychological gap, the humiliation alone would be unbearable!

Not to mention his many arrangements in the territory, just leading Qianqi all the way here from Huainan, drinking the wind, is it just to watch the southern bandits on an outing?Why is he so cheap!

Feeling resentful in his heart, Dang even vented his anger on the dereliction of duty scout commander in front of him, and directly ordered someone to take off his armor and hang him up, and lashed him ten times with lashes, only then did he vent his resentment a little.Then he ordered the team to go to the fort to recuperate, while he personally led hundreds of guards and continued on the road to the south.

Along the way, Peng Biao was in a bad mood.The countryside is desolate in winter, and the field of vision is wide open. However, if you travel for dozens of miles south, you can see only thin soil and barren mountains. Not to mention the troops of the Liang County brigade, birds are rare!It seems that the southern thief is really just putting on a show, and because of the long distance, he didn't even catch up with the outing!
Such a huge gap in his heart even made Peng Biao obsessed, even if he rushed all the way to the Liangjun city, he must see the Southern Bandit Army!His teeth were clenched all the way, and even the horse's buttocks were covered with whip marks!

Sure enough, the emperor paid off, until near the end of the day, a few rangers finally appeared in Peng Biao's vision, presumably they should be scouts from the opposite side.And when those people saw Peng Biao and others, they didn't even wait and see, and rushed back directly.

Probably the long-cherished wish was fulfilled. At this time, Peng Biao also regained his senses, and he was not in a hurry to go forward. He ordered the crowd behind him to disperse and look around to see if there was any ambush on the other side.Fortunately, there is only a barren land around, and there is no weeds that block the view, so you can see through it at a glance whether there is an ambush.

Then a group of people leaped up to a high hill, looked down, and finally found the other party's camp.However, this did not make Peng Biao feel relieved. It was too much, really too much!

There is still some distance before it gets dark, but the other party's tents have already been set up, and the smoke from the cooking in the camp seems to be ready for dinner.

Dozens of rangers were cruising outside the camp, waving their whips. The camp was close to the tidal flats at the source of the water. There were even hundreds of people digging ice on the marsh pond for fishing. Occasionally, one or two big fish were picked out of the ice by spears. The scales shone under the setting sun, and the soldiers clapped their hands and laughed.

Seeing this scene, Peng Biao's face darkened even more.With the appearance of the other party, it was clear that he had started camping and cooking after noon, and he was not in a hurry to hurry at all!

And the cheers of those fishing soldiers came here clearly, which made Peng Biao feel particularly harsh. Do you still count?Are they here to fight or to fish?Anyway, there are hundreds of riders here at the top of the peeping camp. Are you blind?Why don't you respond?

"The military order is so slack, Huang Quan is actually defeated by such fools, it really deserves to die!"

Peng Biao cursed bitterly, but he couldn't tell whether he was dissatisfied with Huang Quan or the enemy's laxity.It's an unspeakable shame that he treats such an unbearable opponent seriously and dare not make any moves for several months!
Although there is a lot of resentment in his heart, Peng Biao is also relieved. Looking at the size of the opponent's camp, at least there are thousands of people, and he can be sure that he really wants to send troops to Huainan.You must know that the soldiers and horses go ahead without using food and grass, and the consumption of tens of thousands of people for a day is a terrifying figure. If it is just a show, there is no need to hurt yourself so much.

Although the opponent's camp was loose, Peng Biao did not continue to approach, so he kept this distance.After all, he ran all the way, and his manpower and horsepower were exhausted. If the distance was too close, the opponent might not be able to escape if he really came after him.

Although the camp defense is poor, but the opponent's camp layout is very impressive, surrounded by water, heavy on all sides, it is not easy to steal the camp, it can be seen that it is from the hands of famous experts, or the slack in front of you is just a means to lure the enemy .

It was getting late now, and Peng Biao also wanted to know more information about the opponent, so he sent a few cavalry back to Huliang to report the news, while he led the army back slowly, chose a nearby leeward place, arranged for a night sentry, and laid a felt to sleep .

Nothing happened that night, and the other party seemed to really not mind the scouts spying on the camp, and they never sent out cavalry to drive them away.Before dawn, Peng Biao got up, sat around with the soldiers and lit a bonfire to bake the mustache, dried meat and buttermilk that he carried with him.

It is not a big deal for Peng Biao to eat rough food, he has experienced even the harshest environment.It's just that when he thinks of Gao Gang's kind of opponent, he feels that this hardship is not worth it.

After chatting to eat, Peng Biao got on his horse and rushed to Gaogang again, replacing the sentry and scouts.At this time, the sky in the east was gradually revealing, and there were noises and movements in the opponent's camp. The rangers went out of the camp to sweep the surrounding area daily, but they did not rush here to drive away Peng Biao and his party.

Peng Biao patiently stood on the high hill and waited and watched. The rising sun gradually broke through the clouds and sprinkled its brilliance, and finally the opposing camp made another move.Hundreds of soldiers marched out of the camp, lingered in front of the camp gate for a while, and then turned to the fishing place yesterday, excitedly began to dig ice, and still sang some strange military songs.

When Peng Biao saw this scene, he didn't know how to express his feelings. Did the fish offend you?Do you know what you are going to do when you send troops?
The sun has risen so high, if you don't hurry up and set off, if you delay for a while, you may not be able to set off in the middle of the day!If these soldiers were led by him, they would be pushed out of the camp gate and beheaded immediately, it would be completely ignorant!
Peng Biao is worthy of being a good general who is well versed in military affairs. Sure enough, it was not until the middle of the day that the opponent put away the barracks, packed his luggage and officially set out on the road.

"That, that is..."

Originally, Peng Biao had almost no curiosity about this enemy army, but when the other party put away their tents and organized their ranks, they discovered something unusual, and their eyes became serious!
First of all, what made him feel extraordinary was the speed of the opponent's departure from the camp. Although the departure time was not worse than Peng Biao's expectation, it was because the start of the departure from the camp was later than he expected!And it took less than an hour from the start of the camp to the reorganization of the ranks and the official start of the road!And in this process, there is almost no confusion, everything flows naturally!

This is not a joke division, but a truly well-trained elite soldier!
You must know that when the army is traveling and sleeping outside, the time when chaos is most likely to occur is when camping and pulling out.Dividing camps, tidying up tents, digging stoves, and many messy tasks must be completed in a very short period of time.

If it is some undisciplined refugee team, they will fall asleep when they fall down, get up when they stand up, and grab food when they have food. The chaos caused by camping once can even cause complete chaos and collapse of the team!And the more well-trained the team, the faster they can complete these, and the chaos is minimized!
Therefore, just looking at the process of the opponent's pulling out the camp from a distance, Peng Biao understood that this is a strong enough team to fight!

And when they are actually on the road, the front, back, left, middle, and right battalions are parallel, forming horns of each other, and there is only a small fluctuation in the gap between them.This may seem ordinary, but in fact, there is a tacit understanding between the various ranks, and the discipline requirements specific to each soldier!

Many teams that have experienced many battles can be in battle formation or dorm formation, but once they start exercising, the incoordination in the ranks will be highlighted.Once encountering an ambush or Qingqi rushing into the formation, this incoordination will become a loophole in the coordination of the ranks, which will be quickly torn apart, turning the battle into a chase and annihilation battle!

However, there is no such problem in the opposing army. Of course, there will be a tacit understanding, but the commanders who are traveling are also deeply silent about this, and have been making adjustments during the march.The gap revealed in it was not even enough for the cavalry to gallop to attack and charge.

Obviously a strong team, why make such a gesture?Could it be that the opponent's general thought he would be tricked into attacking by thinking that he would use this to lure the enemy?That would have underestimated myself, but it would only slow down my marching speed!

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Peng Biao's mouth: "It's so tempting, but the method is really clumsy!"

Of course, when he was talking about these things, Peng Biao didn't expect that maybe he really wasn't in a hurry.

But in any case, such an elite performance by the other party made Peng Biao feel interested again, and he was ready to take a peek for a while.

And the opponent's army is also advancing here. More than a thousand cavalry mounted their horses and ran between the formations, filling the gaps between the formations. At the same time, hundreds of rangers scattered, sweeping the front and the two wings This is also a normal arrangement during the march, which can greatly avoid ambushes and obtain information.

Seeing this, Peng Biao got on his horse with his troops, kept the same speed as the opponent, and ran in front of his march.This is an extremely serious provocation. If the opponent's ranger can't help but send out a small team to chase them away, he will dare to turn around and eat the opponent!

However, the other party didn't seem to care about his existence at all, just marching on their own.This inevitably made Peng Biao feel humiliated again, feeling like a naughty boy rolling around in front of adults!
So, after a while, it was Peng Biao who couldn't stand it first.He reined in his horse, and drew out his weapon to call for dozens of soldiers to charge towards the opponent's scout, clamoring.

This time, the opponent finally stopped turning a blind eye to him, more than [-] knights rushed out from the two wings, dismounted and lined up, and unexpectedly took out their step bows and drew the strings on the spot.

Seeing this, Peng Biao tactfully reined in his horse's head and whizzed past from the flank. The range of the step bow was already long, and the horse's dismounting accuracy was high. Going forward was just a moving target.

When Peng Biao and his party fled far away, the opponent's scouts got on their horses again, and they did not expel them.This attitude of turning a blind eye is too arrogant!So much so that Peng Biao had the urge to call in the brigade of cavalry in the rear, and give the opponent a violent charge to show that he was serious, instead of molesting them back and forth!

However, soon, the new discovery made Peng Biao dispel this idea, and even gave birth to a creepy sense of fear.

Two hours after the opponent set up camp, the cavalry in the formation began to spread out in a large scale, wandering in all directions.Peng Biao, who was tens of miles away, saw this scene, and said that the opponent finally planned to encircle his team, so he hurriedly led the crowd to retreat, but after running for a long time, he found that the opponent still did not pursue them, but Running in the wild is actually looking for a suitable place to stay!

Putting his hands on his forehead, Peng Biao looked at the high sun hanging in the west, and then the corner of his mouth trembled slightly, how far did he go?Are the muscles stretched?Are these soldiers preparing for a big battle, or a group of idle dandies?

The other party's attitude was as arrogant and cold as ever, ignoring Peng Biao's heartfelt voice, and after a while, he began to transfer to the station chosen by the reprimand candidate.

When the opponent started to set up camp, there was a loophole in the dispatch of the rangers. Peng Biao seized this opportunity and led the crowd to the empty gate. Finally, he seized the opportunity to rush within several miles to get a closer look at the opponent's army formation.However, just this one glance scared him so much that he almost fell off his horse.

It was only when he rushed to the front that Peng Biao saw the military vehicles lined up in formation and stacked on top of each other.Those military vehicles are hung with horses in front, covered with steel panels, and nearly ten feet wide. Each vehicle has more than [-] soldiers, half riding and half pushing, all wearing armor, bows, crossbows, guns and arrows. A small stack!

Only at this time did Peng Biao know why the opponent was raising troops so slowly and advancing slowly. If the army formations in other directions were in this state, then this was not an army formation at all, but a moving fortress!
This discovery shocked Peng Biao. He had never seen such a well-armed army in his life!The shouts from the guards on the side woke him up, and he hurriedly escaped before the opponent's rangers galloped to attack!

"This group of slave riders is really disgusting, and their ghosts linger. Do you want to chase them down and annihilate them?"

The sergeants began to set up camp, and Shen Mu rode his horse into the vanguard camp, frowning at Shen Zhezi.

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he jumped on the nearest chariot, lifted his pocket and looked in the direction where Peng Biao was escaping, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just march by yourself, Xu Jin can push slowly, and scare this group of people who have never seen it to death." The slaves of the market!"

　Accident or not?Today's task has been completed, and the daytime is full of vicissitudes of life, wandering around. . .
