0668 Lives Block

The low walls are stacked with irregularly shaped rocks, and the gaps between the rocks are filled with turf, which peels off under the cold wind as the weather gets colder, revealing holes. In front of the wall, there is a circle of bamboo fences that look slightly ridiculous, and the sharpened bamboo heads poke out, which becomes a simple rejection of horses.

In front of the camp stood several sentry towers more than a foot from the ground, in other words, the arrow towers were just a few simple sheds supported by a few wooden stakes, which were already crumbling in the cold wind, and could not bear too much weight at all.

However, two or three strong men with haste-faced faces stood on the arrow tower wrapped in straw felt, and their trembling arms held hemp ropes and rubbed up the simple wooden bows that were used as strings, and occasionally shot a few bamboo arrows, which were blown crookedly by the cold wind and fell to the ground not long after they were away from the string, and there was no lethality at all.

Such a defense may be able to disturb some wild beasts roaming in the wild, but in the face of the fierce Karnu cavalry, it is simply a joke!

The dock wall in front of you is a normal state of a large number of Jin people in Huaizhong. Of course, it is not without thousands of people who are heavily defended and powerful dock walls, but there are definitely not too many.

Such a small village has almost no power to protect itself, and their living space lies in the fact that the real strong soldiers ignore them, or they can temporarily survive and survive in the narrow space within the wall. But once it is noticed, it will be their destruction!

Now it is the moment of life and death of this dock wall, Peng Biao arrived here, ran around the wall to observe the terrain for a while, and then waved his arm, and more than 100 people behind him immediately put up a charging formation, and rushed directly to the main gate of the camp!

In front of the camp there was a shallow ditch nearly two feet long, and the water had long since dried up, and the thin ice was covered with dead grass, which could hardly be called an obstruction at all.

Peng Biao's crotch war horse jumped and had rushed through this shallow ditch, at this time the wall full of holes in the crowd, there was no lack of shouting and exclamations, this don't have to care, the arrows on the arrow tower are sparsely shot, some have fallen halfway, occasionally one or two shot in front of him, the horse lance in his hand is shaken, and those bamboo arrows are knocked away.

However, in a few breaths, Peng Biao had already rushed to the front of the camp gate, and several simple horse rejection clubs were knocked into bamboo pieces, and in front of him was a wooden door that was not too thick, and there was an earthen dam in front of which was not too high.

Peng Biao's crotch knees shook, the war horse rushed abruptly onto the earthen dam, and then swooped straight into the opposite closed wooden door, the horse lance in his hand swung sideways by inertia, the sharp lance immediately smashed on the wooden door, the arms shook and then the wooden door became fragments, the figure behind the wooden door shook, chaotic running, occasionally bamboo arrows shot on the armor, the strength was slight and not enough to penetrate the armor at all.

Following the indomitable momentum, Peng Biao rushed directly into the fort on horseback, and those who were not enough to dodge in front of the horse were knocked away, and a few strong men who came forward wielding bamboo poles and lassoes, with the horse lance in his hand picking and waving, all of them rushed to the ground like weeds, and scarlet blood poured out along the wound, and wisps of piercing white gas came out in this cold weather.

The camp was not large, and soon Peng Biao and a dozen knights behind him walked through it, and the people who were hiding in the shack were all expelled from the camp. In less than a quarter of an hour, this small fortress was breached, and in addition to the dozen or so people who had been killed by hand earlier, more than 100 men, women, and children were driven to the open space in front of the camp gate, all with yellow faces and thin muscles, and their clothes were not covered.

A battle started suddenly and ended quickly, seeing those Jin people huddled in the iron cavalry surrounded by iron horses with dead faces and trembling, Peng Biao could be described as happy, the horse lance was crossed in front of his knees, and a flamboyant smile was already emitted in his mouth.

Originally, as Peng Biao, it was not enough to boast about breaking through such a small dock wall. But this momentum made Peng Biao's sullen palpitations when he peeped at the Yuzhou army earlier swept away, and the lost confidence was re-established.

"Drive these people to Huliang."

Peng Biao pointed at his horse, and seven or eight knights were divided into the team, driving these people whose homes had just been destroyed to the direction of Huliangshu. 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 homeless people in the wild. As long as there are no more people than the standard set in his heart, they will be developed and survived.

On the one hand, it is because the middle school has no plan to operate Huaizhong on a large scale at present, and Peng Biao is impatient to run the tuntian from scratch, and there is no long-term plan, even if these people are gathered, there is no way to settle them. Moreover, so many Jin people have gathered together, and they have to devote their energy to supervise and control, and the slightest carelessness will cause chaos.

On the other hand, these Jin people are guarding the countryside separately, and they have accumulated a lot of strength, and they have no desire to resist, and it is not difficult to break them. Thousands of rangers can control a large area, and when these people accumulate some vitality, they can harvest and exploit a round, which is equivalent to stocking in the suburbs, and it can be regarded as a long-term profit.

Today, however, the situation is different. The elite level of the Yuzhou army from Liang County far exceeded Peng Biao's expectations, and in terms of ordnance ration alone, he had never seen it in his life. What's more, the number of troops is also extremely large, and in terms of troops alone, Peng Biao's department has already fallen behind.

His troops were full of cavalry, and the opposing army's formation just restrained him. Even if there is no formal battle, Peng Biao can imagine what kind of tough army this is, and it is almost impossible to defeat the opponent in the field.

After seeing with his own eyes how well the other party's equipment was used, Peng Biao finally had an intuitive understanding of why Huang Quan was defeated. It is not necessarily a mistake in Huang Quan's strategy and combat power, but it is more likely to be directly killed by the opponent's powerful weaponry.

After having this understanding, Peng Biao also thought a lot, and in the face of such an opponent, a frontal attack is undoubtedly the stupidest move. Although the ration of his weapons was better than that of Huang Quan's department, it was still far worse than the other party, and the only thing he relied on was the high mobility of the cavalry.

However, the other side's strategy is obviously to seek stability first, not to rush forward, and to rely on its powerful superiority in weapons and not to compete for fighters. Such an opponent is something that Peng Biao has never faced, so he is doubly cautious.

Because there is no old experience to refer to, the only enemy shortcoming Peng Biao can think of at the moment is logistics. If you want to maintain this kind of superiority in equipment, then the logistical pressure will inevitably be extremely great. Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Peng Biao's strategy was to eliminate the opponent's advantage in the use of weapons by frequently harassing the enemy.

However, the earlier contact had made Peng Biao realize that the other party was not only well-armed, but also had strict military discipline. If it is only a small group of intrusions, the other side will simply turn a blind eye and will not achieve the purpose of reducing the strength of the other party, and there must be a formal engagement.

However, to let his elite cavalry go directly to battle is undoubtedly just a fatal move. What's more, now that the strength of the country is the top, whoever has more private troops will have weight in his words. If he consumes all the main forces in the process of stubbornly resisting such an opponent, even if he wins in the end, he will only die for others.

Not only to preserve their own strength, but also to achieve the purpose of consuming the other party, there is no doubt that these Jin people scattered in the countryside are the best choice. Even if they all died in battle, Peng Biao was never distressed.

So after seeing the strength of the other party, Peng Biao retreated and began to sweep the countryside and plunder people as a backup. Of course, he did not give up on continuing to explore the enemy's strength, and the knights of the Houlu Tiger Liangshu also drew some of them to continue to spy along the way.

When Peng Biao returned to Huliangshu after a round of sweeping in the countryside, more than 3,000 Jin people had gathered here. These people, there are many old and weak women and children, even if they have some strength, they are all yellow and thin, and they have no armor blades, and they are simply sent to death in the war.

Huliang Shu was originally an outpost location, which was not enough to accommodate so many people, and did not save too much grain and grass. However, Peng Biao didn't plan to stay here at all, once the people gathered to a certain scale, even if they drove forward, they directly faced the direction of travel in Yuzhou.

As for these Dingkou, except for some strong men who issued a bamboo gun and wooden stick, the rest were empty-handed, and they were willing to let them carry some rations copied from the dock wall, which was already a great mercy, and it was also Peng Biao's cavalry, so it was difficult to carry too much baggage.

There were so many dingkou in front of the cavalry, and Peng Biao gradually regained his confidence, and this kind of war atmosphere was what he was used to. Although most of these Jin people are old and weak, and their combat effectiveness is not enough, once the two armies burst out of the desire to survive when they fight, no matter how elite the military formation is, it will suffer a great impact.

At the same time, Peng Biao couldn't help but be glad that in order to maintain such a strong equipment, the other party's marching speed was really not fast, which gave him time to arrange. Of course, according to the military discipline and soldier quality revealed by the other party, Peng Biao did not think that he could win with thousands of cavalry and thousands of chaotic people, and the main task was to consume the other party.

Therefore, while clearing the left near dock wall, Peng Biao has also ordered the troops of Houzhen to come south and organize several lines of defense to wear down the opponent's strength layer by layer. At the same time, he also sent rangers to the country to ask for help. He didn't expect him to be able to break his opponent at all, but Shouchun's gains and losses were not a joke, once he lost, not only Peng Biao's own future was worrying, but the towns near Zuo would inevitably be implicated and blamed.

Therefore, Peng Biao never thought of having a hard encounter with the other party at all, that is, he wanted to rely on the strong mobility of the cavalry and the lives of these Jin people in Huaizhong, frequently harassing and consuming the opponent's combat effectiveness to the greatest extent. If he could contain the opponent's main force to the south of Shouchun City before the reinforcements arrived, his task would have been completed.

You must know that the opponent's military appearance is too strong and exaggerated, once it appears under Shouchun City, it will inevitably cause the response of those Jin people in the city, although Shouchun City is tall and strong, but under internal and external troubles, it is really not enough to hold on.
