Chapter 3282 Good leeks

In the dark night, the wilderness is already an area.

With the crowds rushing, the remaining camps were like small islands in the storm, struggling to support them. The camps where these miscellaneous soldiers were originally trapped in a very careless manner. The trenches were dug for a while, and they threw them there when they saw no one urged them. The fences and walls of the camp were also placed at will, and there were no defense facilities.

After all, it is in a chaotic world, and there is no military discipline and military discipline. Who would want to do better today or tomorrow? Today is drinking, which is drunk today. Who would have to eat the hard work and go camping well?

As a result, I now bear the consequences of being lazy before.

As the crowd was surging, countless people rushed down the trench and were then stepped on their feet. The not-so-deep trench could not resist these crazy people running around. After the trench was filled with human flesh, it directly crashed into the simple camp fence.

The head of the migrant camp who was hit by the crowd was quite experienced. When the crowds just got up, he summoned a formation of soldiers and guarded the walls of the village. But when these surging crowds were rushing over, two or three rounds of arrows were fired in the migrant camp, but they could not block them at all.

The main reason is that in the dark night, the surrounding wounds and screams can only attract even more crazier fear and cannot awaken reason.

If it is when the light is sufficient during the day, when the arrows are falling and death is all in front of you, you can't say that you can scare these running people. However, in the dark, because you can't see clearly, you feel that the fear brought by the miserable roars in the rear is obviously greater than the arrows in the camp ahead. Therefore, the defense of the camp is like raindrops falling in the tide, and there is no way to see any effect.

The crowd hit the village hard, and the village suddenly became loose.

Dozens of spears were stabbed out from the gap in the village, and many people were killed immediately, but the people who were stabbed were strung on the spear, so they couldn't even pull the spear back!

After a while, I heard a squeaking sound, and the village fence collapsed, and the crowd flocked in, drowning the miscellaneous soldiers directly under my feet.

Another miscellaneous camp collapsed...

Behind the crowd, Zhang Xiu actually brought not many cavalrymen.

A small number of cavalrymen, about one or two hundred, were like sheepdogs driving the huge crowd in a certain direction.

Zhang Xiu led most of the cavalry and followed behind without any rush or slowness.

Along the way, most of the corpses were slurry...

Is it pitiful?

Pitiful.

So many people can easily flatten these miscellaneous soldiers when they are surging, and now they are trampling the soldiers of Cao's army who are shouting and shouting.

But why did these Hedong people have been obedient all the way before, and would rather be humiliated, raped and killed than silently?

When people are crazy, the power that surges out is terrible, but after exhausting this tone, they will enter a relatively long period of fatigue and it is impossible to run endlessly.

Even with the control and guidance of Zhang Xiu and others, more and more people fled to the surrounding wilderness, which gradually slowed down the momentum of the crowd forward. Some people who ran to the side saw that no one was pushing or shouting behind them, so they gradually stopped and gasped in a daze, as if they were still in a nightmare and did not wake up.

"mob."

Zhang Xiu muttered in a low voice, then sighed with a sigh.

The guards following Zhang Xiu looked at each other without saying anything.

All the horse's hooves were stained with blood, and they looked purple-black in the firelight of the night.

When the crowd surged, those who were wrapped in it could not stop at all. Once they stopped, they would be pushed down and trampled by the people behind them. In just half an hour, I don’t know how many people died!

To save people, you have to kill people first.

A small number of people died, and most of them ran away.

In the chaotic times, saving people and killing people seem to have become an indistinguishable ash.

Even so, most of these people will not escape far away, and will be captured by Cao's soldiers, just like lost sheep.

"General!" A Hussar soldiers turned around and pointed to Luzhao Camp in the distance and said, "There is a Cao Jun camp there, which is very strong and looks like an elite place."

Zhang Xiu nodded, and used his hand to move, "Go and take a look."

With the sound of horse hooves, a group of people headed towards Lu Zhao's camp.

Lu Zhao's Cao Jun camp obviously suffered several waves of crowds, but firstly, the distance was far, and secondly, the number of people was not endless. Therefore, except for the first wave of crowds that crashed into the trenches of Lu Zhao camp, the remaining crowds were not so fast, and they even took the initiative to divide into two groups and ran around Lu Zhao's camp to the distance.

Nothing else, the trenches and high walls of Luzhao Camp are solid fortifications made solidly.

The trench is wide and deep, more than one person tall, and the high and low walls learned from fighting against the cavalry, that is, the soil dug out of the trench is all stacked on the ground behind the trench, forming a gap of up and down. If you really want to fall into it, even if you are not stabbed to death by a wooden stake and have no tools to climb up, it is really hard to climb to the sky.

After this trench, there is a second trench, and then the village wall.

The archers on the left and right sides of the village wall were already full of archers, staring at Zhang Xiu and his group under the fire.

Zhang Xiu stood outside the range, raised his hand upwards, clenched his fists and shook it a few times.

"Stop! Stop! Stop the entire army!"

The messenger shouted.

"It's really as the lord said," Zhang Xiu sneered, "This guy is waiting for me to hit him!"

If Zhang Xiu did not slow down his pace and forced the crowd to attack the camp, he might have hit him head-on!

After all, the camp near Emei Ridge is so simple that if Fei Qian had not had the previous reminder, who would have thought that there would be such a hard lump hidden behind these messy camps?

If you really don’t pay attention to the camp of Lu Zhao, you will think it’s like other miscellaneous camps. These fortifications alone will be a headache for Zhang Xiu and others. Imagine that if Zhang Xiu thought he was proud, he spread out his troops and drove away the crowd and then suddenly hit such a hard rock, it would be considered light to collapse the teeth. Maybe Lu Zhao would seize the opportunity to fight back!

Cavalry is not invincible, it is also flesh and blood.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiu came this time to follow Fei Qian's reminder and did not blindly seek victory or battle, but just to drive away the population carried by Cao's army and delay the pace of Cao's army's attack on Wenxi. Therefore, if he could chew the Cao army camp in one breath, it would be the best, but he could not defeat it, and he has achieved the initial goal at present.

The Cao army's miscellaneous soldiers were chaotic and lacked equipment, and there were many old and weak but strong. However, it was still enough to attack small counties like Wenxi. Therefore, if Zhang Xiu ignored everything and let Wenxi be knocked out, it would not be appropriate no matter how he said it.

On the other hand, it would be inappropriate if Zhang Xiu worked hard to fight Cao's army and then Wenxi's people watched the show in the city.

So Zhang Xiu appeared at this point in time, but now it seems...

It seems that it is still as expected by Cao Jun?

Otherwise, Lu Zhao would not have built such a solid camp.

What is this to do?

Is Cao's army ready to stick here?

What do Cao's army wants to do when he is guarding here?

Zhang Xiu thought about it, but couldn't figure it out.

Although Zhang Xiu was chasing in chaos tonight, it seemed that he was a horse rushing to the joint camp, which was very exciting, but in fact it did not cause much damage to the Cao army. Because the elite troops of the Cao army were almost exhausted, all the soldiers and the people of Hedong who were carrying them were killed.

Oh, if Pei Jun is also considered Zhang Xiu's victory, then it's just a little fish.

And Zhang Xiu doesn't know.

These Cao army soldiers and people will be arrested and collected by Cao army after dawn. I dare not say that they will all come back, but at least 60% or 70% are still there...

It's very simple, I didn't eat it.

All the local gentry and gentry in the Yuncheng Basin in Hedong were polarized. Some of them did not surrender like Anyi Wenxi, and the other part was changed. However, no matter which part, they would not gather these miscellaneous soldiers and people at this point in time. Therefore, the only food in this area of ​​Yuncheng Basin is still Cao Jun.

"Look," Zhang Xiu pointed to the camp behind the trench, "Did you see that village wall?"

?????????????????????????

The guard nodded from behind, "See it. It seems to be solid, and it seems to be covered with mud. The wall of this village is not easy to use. Maybe they are all guarded against the rhubarb crossbow."

"Yeah." Zhang Xiu snorted, "It's a loss that makes me remember. It's hard to fight, so I won't fight. Once we retreat, they will come back again. It's really a bit troublesome."

"The Lord," the guard asked, "Why didn't you take these people to Emei Ridge like the last time?"

"Do you think all of these are the people?" Zhang Xiu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "That was an ordinary civilian before... I suspect that these people are mostly tenant farmers in the houses of those who defected to Cao's army... The gentry tenant farmers are different from ordinary people. Yes! This is different! Come on! Go and catch a few left-in-one people and ask!"

"Then...we still fight in this camp?" asked the guard.

Zhang Xiu waved his hand, "I can't fight now. I'll send an order to withdraw my troops!"

...

...

Tenant farmers and self-cultivated farmers are indeed different.

The most important difference is of course that the tenant farmers do not have means of production, but rent land from the landlords to farm.

Self-cultivated farmers have their own land.

This seems to be the biggest difference, but it is really that simple?

Zhang Xiu felt that Fei Qian's previous special warnings asked him to analyze specific issues based on specific issues, rather than habitually taking it for granted, there must be a certain reason, so he cautiously brought his troops back to Emei Ridge, and then discovered some interesting problems...

The four or five living people caught by the cavalrymen were young, some were older, and most of them were older.

This is not surprising, after all, young people have more endurance and run farther and faster.

Isn’t the rest just old and weak?

Zhang Xiu summoned these people together and checked that they were indeed ordinary farmers rather than spies from Cao Jun. He lifted them off and brought them some drinking water and food. After they had finished eating and drinking and had a more stable mood, he brought them to the front to ask questions.

As he expected, the one who came to attack Wenxi was not the self-cultivated farmers in Yuncheng, Hedong, but the tenant farmers under the gentry gentry who surrendered to Cao Cao.

The tenant farmers were very honest. Perhaps because Zhang Xiu gave them food, they answered whatever they asked. Even if they stuttered sometimes, they were not for concealing or deceiving, but for themselves they were not good at expressing themselves.

But what Zhang Xiu did not expect was that as these tenants talked, perhaps they could chat with Zhang Xiu, and they complained about Zhang Xiu, saying why Zhang Xiu had to fight...

"If you don't hit me," Zhang Xiu scratched his head, "Can they just hit us?"

"Yes...but they were sent by the emperor..." The old tenant farmer opened his slightly turbid eyes and his expression was very serious, as if he was talking about the truth of the world, "The emperor is God!"
