『Chapter error, click here to report』
The execution of the order to travel lightly was rejected by all the people, there was no way, Lu Peng thought for a while, and immediately issued an order: "You immediately arrange a group of soldiers who can speak well, publicize my current order to the people along the way, and let them discard all their belongings, these families will be given interest-free loans as compensation after they arrive in Youzhou, you let the soldiers tell the people, I don't have time to calculate the value of their belongings, as long as you arrive in Bingzhou, according to the calculation of heads, each person is 10,000 steel coins, and the repayment period is ten years. They can repay the loan in the form of cash-for-work. ”
Pan Feng shook his head with a wry smile: "Even at this time, my lord still adheres to the principle of absolutely not free, but only promises to give the people interest-free loans, so that they can repay them with labor, look at this lord is indeed too principled." ”
As a result, after the release of this method, the effect was not obvious, because the people understood that the loan you gave me would eventually be recovered, and the belongings in my hands now were my own, so how could I be willing to throw away my own things.
As a result, the people began to resist this order, and resolutely did not abandon their belongings, even a clay pot.
Seeing this situation, Lu Peng still did not give up his policy of getting his own free subsidies for nothing, but gave a strong order: "Announce my order to the people, they only have two choices, either discard all their belongings and follow me eastward, or keep their belongings, I give up protecting her, I will leave him behind, and take those who are willing to go with me into Youzhou." ”
This order is definitely impersonal and iron-blooded, but for the sake of principle, in order for more people to escape to Youzhou alive, what should be given up must be abandoned, even if it seems a little cruel, it has to be implemented.
So a tragic scene happened, and the people who wanted to open immediately threw away their so-called belongings, squeezed into a four-wheeled carriage, and headed east.
And those who are still stubborn and unwilling to give up their belongings are ruthlessly abandoned on the side of the road, and they can only look helplessly at the distant army, looking around blankly.
But fortunately, Lu Peng did not do the wrong thing, and half a day later, another 500 carriages ran back, and finally conveyed his orders to these people, so that the people could make a choice.
After seeing Youzhou's kindness and determination, those stubborn people had to reluctantly abandon their belongings, get on the last carriage, and continue to march east.
Of course, there were many people who rushed over from the surrounding area, but they were not lucky enough to get on this last carriage, so they could only cry in despair, following the eastward army that had dissipated the smoke and dust, hoping to have a chance to live.
"I want to help people all over the world, but I can't do it because I can't do it, I can only do what I can." Lu Peng looked at the people who were still coming in the distance, and said this in pain, tears couldn't help but flow.
There are too many people in the world who need to be rescued, and his own strength is really beyond his strength, in order to protect the more than 400,000 people, Lu Peng can only rush to the mountain pass that can be used as a barrier - Dengfengkou.
Dengfengkou is indeed not suitable for defense, and it is definitely an exaggeration to say that this is a dangerous pass, but it is just a little higher and more steep than other hilly areas.
But no matter what, something is better than nothing, and setting up a defensive position here can block the pursuers for a while.
So Lu Peng and Pan Feng were here, using all the terrain materials they could use to urgently build a rudimentary defensive position. Now in the hands of Lu Peng, he has 25,000 Lu family troops in his hands, and there are no effective defensive equipment, if the enemy's pursuers arrive, they can only rely on the terrain that is not dangerous at all, and conduct a hand-to-hand combat.
Xiahou Yuan is indeed a capable person, just when Lu Peng rushed to Dengfengkou, when Lu Peng's last carriage carrying the people passed, Xiahou Yuan's banner had already emerged far away on the horizon, and a tragic resistance battle began.
The army in Lu Peng's hands now, except for the backbone of the original main force of the Lu family's army, the rest of the soldiers are all newly recruited, but after just three months of training in the Savage Valley, they have mastered the basic movement essentials and formations, and they were brought out by Pan Feng to carry out this harassment mission.
In everyone's meaning, this harassment mission is not a real decisive battle, or to use the advantage of the rapid movement of the four-wheeled carriage to fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy, and to train in battle to quickly improve combat effectiveness.
Therefore, according to the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the original army, the combat effectiveness of the Lu family army has actually declined.
However, the combat effectiveness of Cao Cao's Xiahou Yuan army did not decline, not that Cao Cao's army had any good training methods, or that he still had a steady stream of veterans after losing 200,000 in the last battle with Yuan Shao. And Cao Cao's army was originally a scum, lost 200,000, and then forcibly levied 200,000, anyway, it was already a scumbag to the bottom line, how could it continue to fall.
In such a comparison, Lu Peng now has less than 25,000 men and horses in his hands, and he is not very nervous in the face of Cao Hongxiahou Yuan's 50,000 troops who rushed up violently.
Looking at the swarming enemies, Lu Peng wondered, how could the enemy's actions suddenly become faster due to the slow pace of ancient warfare? From Pan Feng's entry to Heyang, it has only been three days now, and the enemy's response so quickly really made Lu Peng feel unexpected.
Now, it depends on whether Zhang He can quickly take Hanoi, which is in front of the people's army, and only by quickly taking Hanoi can his losses be minimized.
And just when Lu Peng felt relaxed in the face of Xiahou Yuan's 50,000 army and the attack of 100,000 people, Xu Du Jinyiwei had an urgent military situation - Cao Cao, 200,000 Ma Bu Army, and Xiahou Yuan's 50,000, plus 300,000 people, known as 800,000, had already gone north from Xudu and killed him.
Lu Peng took this battle report and was blinded at that time, 800,000, isn't that the number of people who fought against Sun Liu in later generations, why did he suddenly give himself such a beating?
This is troublesome, the other party really has 300,000 horses, and he only has 25,000, it seems that he is going to face a decisive battle.
It is not possible to retreat, not only because of these people, but more importantly, Cao Cao has put so much effort into it, he will definitely not return in vain, as soon as he withdraws, they will rush into their own states and Yizhou, and in the blink of an eye, they will break the two states that they have just recovered, so the battlefield must stay in his place, and he must block them.
Well, in history, with Sun Liu's victory with less, let's start with myself.
The pattern of the war has changed, so everything must be changed, so Lu Peng immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered Guan Min in front of him to take the people to go directly north, pass through the Shahe River valley and directly cross the Taihang Mountain, enter Jincheng in Bingzhou, and ordered Zhang Liao, who followed later, not to attack Hanoi, and Zhao Yun, who was assembling, immediately assembled at Wulongkou at the mouth of the Shahe Valley and joined himself. Ordered Zhang Yan Xi Zhen Tai Shi Ci to immediately go out of the state to gather Wulongkou, ordered Zhao Quan to immediately lead all the recruits of the Savage Valley to rush to Wulongkou to join the battle group, ordered to guard against the high cadres of Xianbei in the north, left Xu Huang, led 10,000 cavalry to the south, ordered Tian Chou to stay in Youzhou, Tian Feng Xu Shu and so on all rushed to Wulongkou, and ordered the entire eldest brother and second brother and Mi Zhu to be responsible for the logistics supply of the entire army, so that Lu Peng combined 150,000 troops and prepared to start a decisive battle with Cao Cao in Wulongkou.
