But it is said that these days there has been a matter of Tartars plundering the border, and they do not love war, but only attack some small cities with very weak defenses. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After breaking through the city, he didn't stay too long, and basically fled every time the reinforcements arrived. Even they sometimes rob the villagers in some small villages outside the city, originally the Tartars could not grab anything outside the city on weekdays, they could only rob some people, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, so the Tartars did not disdain to rob outside the city.

But now this situation happens from time to time, which can't help but surprise Peng Yue, of course, more annoyance and anger.

For such a small-scale edge grazing situation as the Tartar, it is natural that it cannot be ignored. But after a lot of times, Zeng Milling also felt that it was not a way. Every time the Tartars attacked the city, Peng Yue insisted on sending troops to rescue, because most of the city defenses attacked by the Tartars were weak, and the probability of breaking the city was very high.

At first, Zeng Mo Shen agreed, but later found that reinforcements were always empty, rarely able to intercept the Tartar soldiers, and some frontier cities were too far away to rescue at all, so it was not a long-term strategy at all.

First, the reinforcements rushed for a long time, and there were too many times, and they were too tired, and there was a lot of dissatisfaction in the army. Second, in most cases, they will be in the air, which is simply doing useless work, plus the reinforcements in the past, there is no chance to hit those Tartar soldiers, which means that they will not be able to make war achievements, and the soldiers of the Ming army will naturally have a heart of slackness.

"These Tartars are so hateful that they came up with such a trick...", Peng Yue said angrily.

"yes, they can't afford to lose." , Li Dequan sighed helplessly, "They don't send many troops every time, and the scale is not large, but they have basically made gains." Pity the people outside the city who have suffered from the seedlings..."

"We have to find a way...", Peng Yue frowned and paced around the room.

"Now there is no other way, but to strengthen the city defense of those cities with weak defensive strength, relying on rescue is not a way at all...", Zeng Mo also sighed, "I have carefully observed, these days when the Tartars attack the city, the number of people is not too many. Their strategy is basically to attack quickly, and if they can't do it quickly, they will move on to conquering a city, or plundering the small villages outside the city. Attack quickly, flee quickly, never fall in love with war, never go empty..."

"It seems that they were frightened by the previous battles and did not dare to attack the big city. And in order to evade reinforcements, the actions are very fast...", Zhou Shangwen also analyzed on the side.

"Now send more defenders and weapons to some cities with weak defenses...", Zeng Milled his fingers on the table, and kept thinking.

"I will ask the emperor to send more firearms to this northwest...", Peng Yue said on the side, "and we must strengthen the communication and mutual defense combat training between neighboring cities..."

"This is a good way...", Zeng Mill said with a smile, "It's just that it needs to be exercised in actual combat, and when it comes to real combat, I'm afraid it's not that simple..."

"And those ordinary people outside the city, can you move them all to the city, it's too dangerous outside the city...", Peng Yue hurriedly asked.

"It's... I'm afraid it's difficult...", Li Dequan showed an embarrassed expression, "Many people are ancestral homes and are unwilling to move." Moreover, most of the people outside the city are engaged in farming, close to the land, and it is inconvenient for you to let them into the city... It's complicated... And most importantly... They don't have any money..."

"It's too late to move now...", Zeng Mo raised his head and looked at Peng Yue, "And it's not realistic... We can only strengthen the garrison now, and then set up sentries outside the city, and report to the city if there is any emergency, so that the city can send troops to rescue. ”

"But that's not the way to do it now... In this way, our troops are really stretched, there are only enough guards, what if there is an emergency? Li Dequan said angrily beside him, "We can only let the Tartars bully and loot like this, can't we fight back?" ”

"Of course you can fight back!" , Zeng Mo glared outside hatefully, "If we recover the Hetao, how can we allow the Tartars to be presumptuous?" ”

"That's right, if the Hetao is recovered, the Tartars will definitely converge!" , Li Dequan echoed on the side.

Peng Yue saw that Zeng Mo had the heart to recover the Hetao, and hurriedly diverted the topic: "What needs to be solved now is this matter, and it is not too late to discuss the recovery of the Hetao..."

"Master Peng, how can you be so short-sighted!" , Zeng Mo was originally dissatisfied with Peng Yue's opposition to his recovery of the Hetao, but now seeing that Peng Yue wanted to stop him at this moment, he couldn't help but be a little angry.

"If we recover the Hetao, we will get fertile grasslands to raise high-quality war horses, so that when the cavalry fights, we will naturally not suffer. And if we regain the Loop, we can pin down the Tartars on the west, and if they dare to act rashly, we can flank them on both sides. In addition, the Yellow River flows there, which is not only conducive to diverting water for irrigation, but can also be used greatly during war, and is also a natural barrier to block the Tartars...", Zeng said about the benefits of recovering the Hetao, and his emotions could not help but become even more excited.

Peng Yue knew that he couldn't talk about military affairs without talking about Zeng Miao, and Zeng Mi was really reasonable, and he was angry now, so Peng Yue had to laugh.

"Newspaper... Liangzhou is besieged..."

"Huh?" , Everyone in the house was taken aback by this military situation, and Zeng Miao, who was talking about the many benefits of recovering the Hetao, also stayed there for a while... (To be continued.) )
