Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 663
The low walls of the village are piled up of extremely irregularly shaped rocks, and the gaps between the rocks are filled with turf. As the weather gets colder, the turf peels off under the impact of the cold wind, exposing holes one by one.In front of the wall of the village is a circle of bamboo fences that look a little ridiculous, and the sharpened bamboo heads protrude out, which becomes a simple horse repelling.

Right in front of the camp stand several sentinel arrow towers more than ten feet above the ground. In fact, the arrow towers are just simple sheds propped up by a few wooden piles. the weight of.

However, two or three strong men with panicked faces stood on the arrow tower wrapped in straw felt, with trembling arms holding hemp rope and twisting the simple wooden bow to make a string, occasionally shooting a few bamboo arrows, which were shot shortly after leaving the string. The cold wind blew crookedly and fell to the ground, not to mention any lethality at all.

This kind of defense may disturb some wandering beasts in the wild, but facing the fierce Jienu cavalry is simply a joke!
The dock wall in front of me is a normal state of a large number of Jin people's settlements in Huaizhong.Of course, there are thousands of people, strong defenses, and powerful Wubi, but there are definitely not too many.

Such a small village has little power to protect itself. Their living space lies in the fact that the real strong soldiers ignore them, or they can temporarily linger on their last breath in the small space inside the wall of the village.But once they are noticed, it will be their disaster!
Now is the moment of life and death for this dock wall. Peng Biao arrived here, ran around the wall to observe the terrain for a while, then waved his arm, and more than a hundred people behind him immediately formed a charge formation, and rushed directly to the main gate of the camp!

In front of the camp there was a winding, nearly two-foot-long shallow ditch. The water flow had long since dried up, and there was dead grass sealed in the thin ice, which was hardly an obstacle at all.

Peng Biao's war horse leaped across the shallow ditch. At this time, the wall full of holes was crowded with people, and there were many shouts and exclamations. Don't worry about it. The sparse arrows on the arrow tower shot out. He fell halfway, and occasionally one or two shot in front of him, and the horse spear in his hand shook, and those bamboo arrows were knocked flying.

In just a few breaths, Peng Biao had already rushed to the gate of the camp, and several simple refusal horses were knocked into the air and broken into pieces of bamboo. earth dam.

Peng Biao shook his knees, and the horse rushed up the earth dam, and then dived straight towards the closed wooden door opposite. The horse lance in his hand swung horizontally by inertia, and the sharp lance immediately smashed against the wooden door. Going up, with a shake of both arms, the wooden door shattered into pieces. Behind the wooden door, figures swayed and ran chaotically. Occasionally, bamboo arrows shot on the armor, and the force was slightly insufficient to penetrate the armor.

Following that indomitable momentum, Peng Biao charged straight into the fort with his horse, and those who were not enough to avoid the horse were knocked away one after another, and several strong men who waved bamboo lassoes came forward, following the horse in his hand. Waving, Judu fell to the ground like weeds, scarlet blood gushed out from the wound, wisps of blinding white air came out in this cold weather.

The scale of the camp was not large, and soon Peng Biao and a dozen knights behind him walked through it, and all the people who were hiding in the shack at this time were expelled.In less than a quarter of an hour, this small fortress was breached. In addition to the dozen or so people who were killed earlier, there were hundreds of men, women, and children who were driven to the open space in front of the camp gate. , naked.

A battle started abruptly and ended quickly. Seeing the ashen-faced and trembling Jinmin huddled up surrounded by iron cavalry, Peng Biao was happy, with his horse lanced across his knees, and he was already smiling flamboyantly.

Originally, in Peng Biao's capacity, it was really not enough to boast of breaking such a small dock wall.But this kind of overwhelming momentum made Peng Biao's depression and palpitations when he watched the Yuzhou army earlier, and his lost confidence was rebuilt.

"Drive these people to Huliang Garrison."

Peng Biao pointed at the horse, and seven or eight knights were separated from the team to drive the people whose homes had just been destroyed to the direction of Huliang Shu.And Peng Biao led the rest of the knights, and continued to rush towards the next nearby dock wall.

Although he has been in Huainan for more than two years, Peng Biao has not completely exterminated these refugees in Wubi.As long as no number exceeds the standard set in his heart, he will develop and survive.

On the one hand, it is because the middle school has no plans to operate Huaizhong aggressively at the moment, and Peng Biao is impatient with the management of farmland from scratch, without a long-term plan, even if these people are gathered together, there is no way to arrange them.Moreover, with so many Jin citizens gathered together, they have to devote their energy to supervising and controlling, and a little carelessness will cause chaos.

On the other hand, these Jin people each guarded the countryside, and they had accumulated a lot of power, and they had no desire to resist, and it was not difficult to defeat them.Thousands of rangers can control a large area, and when these people have accumulated some energy, they can harvest and exploit for a round, which is equivalent to raising them in the countryside, and it can be regarded as a long-term profit.

But now, the situation is different.The Yuzhou army from Liangjun was far more elite than Peng Biao expected, and in terms of ordnance rationing alone, he had never seen it in his life.What's more, the number of soldiers is also extremely large. In terms of strength alone, Peng Biao's troops have already fallen behind.

His army is full of cavalry, and the opponent's army just restrained him.Even before the official battle, Peng Biao could imagine what kind of strong army this was, and it was almost impossible to defeat the opponent in the field.

After witnessing the excellent use of the opponent's weapons with his own eyes, Peng Biao finally had an intuitive understanding of why Huang Quan was defeated.It may not be Huang Quan's mistakes in strategy and combat power, it is more likely that he was directly shot to death by the opponent's powerful weapon.

With this understanding, Peng Biao also thought a lot. Facing such an opponent, a frontal attack is undoubtedly the most stupid way.Although the equipment and rations of his troops are better than those of Huang Quan's, they are still far inferior to the opponent's. The only thing they can rely on is the high mobility of the cavalry.

But the opponent's strategy is obviously to seek stability first, not to advance aggressively, relying on the advantages of powerful weapons and not fighting for opportunities.Peng Biao had never faced such an opponent, so he was doubly cautious.

Because there is no old experience to refer to, the only weakness of the enemy that Peng Biao can think of right now is logistics.If they want to maintain this advantage in equipment, then the logistical pressure will inevitably be enormous.Therefore, after pondering for a long time, Peng Biao's strategy was to harass the enemy frequently to wipe out the opponent's advantage in the use of weapons.

However, Peng Biao's previous contact had made him realize that the opponent not only had excellent weapons, but also had strict military discipline.If it is only a small group of intrusion, the opponent will turn a blind eye at all, and the purpose of killing the strength of the opponent will not be achieved, and a formal battle must be held.

But to let his elite cavalry go to direct combat is undoubtedly just an act of death.What's more, now that the strength of the middle school is the highest, whoever has more private soldiers will have more weight in his words.If all the main force is consumed in the process of resisting this kind of opponent, even if he wins in the end, he will only work for others.

To preserve one's own strength and achieve the goal of consuming the opponent, these Jin people scattered in the countryside are undoubtedly the best choice.Even if they were all killed in battle, Peng Biao would never feel distressed.

So after seeing the opponent's strength, Peng Biao retreated and began to sweep the countryside, taking people as backup.Of course, he did not give up on continuing to investigate the enemy's strength, and the knights of the Land Rover Liang Shu also dispatched some to continue spying along the way.

When Peng Biao returned to Huliang Garrison after a round of raids in the countryside, more than [-] Jin people had gathered here.There are a lot of these people, old and weak, women and children, even if they have some strength, they are all sallow and emaciated, without armor blades, and they are basically sent to death in war.

Huliang Shu was originally an outpost, and it was not enough to accommodate such a large number of people, nor did it store too much food and supplies.However, Peng Biao didn't intend to stay here for a long time. Once the population gathered to a certain size, he should drive forward and directly face the direction of Yuzhou.

As for these Dingkou people, except for some strong people who hand out a bamboo spear and wooden stick, the rest are empty-handed. It is already a great kindness to let them carry some rations copied from the dock wall, and it is also what Peng Biao said. With all the cavalry, it is simply difficult to carry too much luggage.

With so many dingkou in front of the cavalry, Peng Biao gradually regained his confidence. This kind of war atmosphere is what he is used to.Although most of these Jin people are old and weak, and their combat effectiveness is not expected, once the two armies are fighting with the desire to survive, no matter how elite the army is, it will suffer a great impact.

At the same time, Peng Biao couldn't help but be thankful that in order to maintain such a strong equipment force, the opponent's marching speed was really slow, which gave him time to arrange.Of course, according to the military discipline and the quality of the soldiers shown by the opponent, Peng Biao did not think that he could win with only thousands of cavalry and thousands of rioters. The main task was to consume the opponent.

Therefore, while clearing the left and near Wubi, Peng Biao had also ordered the deployment of Houzhen troops to the south, and organized several lines of defense to wear down the opponent's strength layer by layer.At the same time, he also sent rangers to ask for help from the middle school.He didn't expect to be able to defeat his opponent at all, but Shouchun's gains and losses were not a joke. Once lost, not only Peng Biao's own prospects would be worrisome, but the nearby towns would inevitably be implicated and blamed.

Therefore, Peng Biao never thought about head-on confrontation with the opponent at all, but relied on the powerful mobility of the cavalry and the lives of the Jin people in Huaizhong to harass the opponent frequently and wear down the opponent's combat effectiveness to the greatest extent.If he can contain the opponent's main force to the south of Shouchun City before reinforcements arrive, his mission will have been completed.

You must know that the strength of the opponent's army is too exaggerated. Once it appears under Shouchun City, it will definitely arouse the response of the Jin people in the city. Although Shouchun City is tall and strong, it is not enough to hold on to internal and external troubles.

　It feels like it hasn't been updated for a long time. . .There should be another chapter today, and the time cannot be guaranteed. I, a bitch, can't stay at home when I'm on vacation. . .By the way, on the question of Shouchun, Shouyang was used in the front, but in fact, it was to avoid the taboo that Emperor Jianwen’s mother, Empress Dowager Zheng, changed her name to Shouyang. Of course, it is not needed now, so I correct it, and I won’t change it if it is too fragmented. . .
