Chapter 518: Solid Wall and Clear Fields (I) - Fourth Update
What Yan Liang thought was actually what Ma Qiang wanted to do, but unfortunately the time given to him was too short, if he was given a year to prepare, Yan Liang would be shot back by a group of military forts as soon as he went out.
That scene... It's similar to the Terran tower defense flow in World of Warcraft, and it's really not too beautiful.
But not now, the number of military forts built by Ma Qiang is completely insufficient, and after Yan Liang went around twice, he didn't see a new military fort, Yan Liang couldn't help but let out a long breath.
If he came any more, he would be ready to withdraw his troops directly, and there were thousands of enemy troops in the rear guarding his logistics line, and this battle would be too exciting to fight.
The situation of Wen Chou's army is similar to that of Yan Liang, in the face of a flawless military fort, there is no way to break it quickly, so he can only choose to either stay here and break through the military fort by digging tunnels, or bypass it.
They are here to attack and disturb the war, and they don't fight siege warfare, not to mention that this is not a city, there are more than 30 people in a military fort, and there are only 100 people in three.
Therefore, they can only send a small force to guard here, slowly digging tunnels, and everyone else bypasses the military fort.
It's easy for people and horses to manage, and it's hard to get a vehicle full of grain and grass.
Later generations may not have such a feeling, thinking that vehicles can also be driven in wasteland, but the vehicles of later generations are fuel engines and rubber tires, while Yuan Shaojun's vehicles rely on cows, horses, manpower and wooden tires.
Such a vehicle in the floating land that has just been cleared over the soil, it is called a difficult walk, can not walk much in a day, from time to time the wheels are still stuck in some small pit, half a day can not get out.
In the end, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others chose to give up letting the infantry participate in the next battle, and directly let the cavalry disperse and harass the place, and the infantry carried grain and grass vehicles to be stationed in the camp on the spot as a base for cavalry harassment.
However, the result of the infantry, grain and grass vehicles could not continue to advance, and the cavalry could not go far, and the counties such as Julu behind Wei, Zhao and other places were safe.
The news of Yan Liangwen's ugly division of troops was quickly transmitted to Ma Qiang on Fushan Mountain.
"Our military fort has a good effect, and the soldiers and horses of Yan Liang and Wen Chou were forced to leave the main road, and the troops were divided." Ma Qiang looked at the telegram and said to Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, have the people already entered the city?" ”
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Judging from the feedback from the counties, at least eighty percent of the people have already entered the city, thanks to the order issued by the Ming Duke that if they do not enter the city, they will be regarded as surrendering to the enemy and confiscate the fields after the war, otherwise it would be good to have two percent of the people enter the city." ”
There is an old saying in China, called small chaos into the city, big chaos into the countryside, because since ancient times the war has been carried out around the city, in the war period, it is better to stay in the city than to stay in the remote countryside safely, plus Zhao Wei and other places are mostly immigrants, a little belongings are around, that is reluctant to lose anything, if it is not for Ma Qiang's threat to confiscate the land, most of these people will not enter the city for refuge.
After all, in the eyes of the people, this war is all a matter of the official master, and it has nothing to do with our small people.
Every time he thinks of this, Ma Qiang has to admire Liu Bei's charm... Or Cao Cao's horror.
Tu Xuzhou's actions did cost Cao Cao a lot.
"As long as Yuan Shaojun's logistics are not smooth, and the villages have no food and grass for them to plunder, don't count days, it's time for us to counterattack."
"Ming Gong was far-sighted and did not let the people stock grain, which made our army have such a great advantage in this battle."
As mentioned earlier, most of the two counties of Zhao and Wei are immigrants, and they will naturally not bring too much food when they come to their new place of residence, and according to the order of the political supervisor of Zhenbei, the grain trade in the entire Jizhou is collected by the official camp, and the people receive food stamps by virtue of their household registration, and then use the food stamps to buy food by ten, so when they are evacuated, the people need to carry little food, and most of the food is hoarded in the counties and counties.
The reason why there was such a big difference in the past to implement the grain monopoly system is for today.
In the face of cavalry attacks, in the absence of counterforces, the only way is to clear the wilderness.
Boli, a centurion of the Southern Huns, came to a village with his warriors who, according to the maps they had been distributed, roared to a village.
"Hey! Are we on the wrong track? How do I feel like we're home? Bo Li looked at the silent sheep felt tent and scratched his face strangely.
Didn't you say that the Han people all lived in houses? Why do all the people in Jizhou live in tents? It's no different from us Huns.
"That's right, this is the village on the map, you see, it's not farmland." The Hun cavalry who led the way patted his chest and said, after all, if you want to go home, you have to wait to cross the Taihang Mountain.
"Let's go! Enter the village and see if there are any people alive! Bo Li shouted, urging the horse into the tent camp that he didn't know whether he should call the village or not.
Walking into the village, Bo Li found signs of haste to leave.
"Anyone? We were sent by General Yuan to save you! ”
The Southern Xiongnu have been attached to the Han land for hundreds of years, and they have long been almost sinicized, and some ordinary herdsmen may not be able to speak Chinese, but like the centurion warriors who have long been Bo Li, they naturally have to be able to speak, otherwise they will not be able to communicate with the generals of the Han army.
After all, before the chaos in the world, the main job of the warriors of the Southern Xiongnu was to act as righteous servants and kill the Qiang or Xianbei people under the leadership of the generals of the Han army.
This is also the fastest way for them to get money.
"Anyone!" Bo Li shouted again, and there was still no sound in the entire camp to answer him.
"Go, look around and see if there's anything to eat." Bo Li touched his stomach, he was a little hungry, although he brought dry food with him, but he was experienced and knew that when he was fighting outside, he would eat the enemy's food if he could.
"Baijiang, I searched everywhere, there was no one alive, and there were no livestock left, so I found a few chickens, ducks and eggs."
These chicken and duck eggs were not deliberately left by the people here, but the chickens and ducks would have hidden the eggs, and even this thing was turned out, which shows that these Hun soldiers really looked for it with their hearts.
"The wall is clear.... Walk! Let's go to the next village! ”
Bo Li is worthy of his position as a centurion, and he can also say such a difficult idiom as Jianbi Qingye, he took his subordinates to sweep two more villages, this time it was even worse, and he didn't even find the eggs hidden by the chickens and ducks.
"There are living people here!"
Finally, when the fourth village arrived, Bo Li finally found a few villagers.
"Are you all soldiers under Duke Yuan?" A middle-aged man dressed as a scribe in a robe saw Bo Li and the others, his hands were shaking with excitement, and he bowed, "Cai Wen in Xia Ye County, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
