Chapter 130: Boosting morale
China has been in thousands of years, at the end of the Han Dynasty, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, at the end of the Song Dynasty, and at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. In times of troubled times, the powerful people in the local area would cede land and protect themselves, and there were kings and princes in each village and one mile. These people were local emperors, and the orders of the government could not be implemented. On the contrary, they had to rely on them.
These people plunder outside, oppress inside, and do everything evil. When the real large-scale forces come, there are always few people who choose to resist. Most of them watch the trend and become fences, join one side, and then become lackeys and follow the people! This type of people is often the biggest disaster.
Li Meng may not have imagined that far, but for him, if he cannot firmly control the territory around him, there will be no stable rear and he will not be able to do what he wants. After all, when thinking about what, he must always consider whether someone will stab the dagger behind him.
The momentum of the opposite side was huge. This was the first time since the Yanding Jiaozhou Camp was formed that it had faced so many soldiers and horses. The metaphor of the huge momentum was really real. The people on the other side shouted horses neighed, and even at the end of the Jiaozhou Camp team could hear it clearly.
In contrast, except for the 800 officers at all levels who shouted orders, the other soldiers were silent and looked at the team opposite in cold eyes.
The Peng family's team has been noisy. When the two sides were about two hundred steps away, they finally stopped the team. A knight ran out on a horse and shouted at the top of his throat:
"Mr. Li, our Peng family is a good citizen of generations and has never done anything about horse thieves as bandits. You must have believed in some rumors. This is a great war. If the adults return, my Peng family will be willing to offer five hundred taels of silver, and all the military spending will be borne by my family. How can we be harmonious in this peaceful season?"
Several lower-level officers next to him looked at Li Meng's answer. Since the other party was willing to give money, why not let the qi go away? Li Meng sat on the horse, but sneered in his heart. If the qi go away and took the other party's money, even the local tyrants in Jiaozhou would be dissatisfied. The original majesty would be destroyed.
In the eyes of outsiders, Li Meng almost didn't think about it, just said coldly:
"Fight!"
The simple words of the word "speak" were immediately conveyed layer by layer. Chen Liuzi, who was standing at the forefront of the team, raised the spear in his hand. The team suddenly became quiet. As the spear was beaten down, the soldiers of Jiaozhou Camp shouted neatly:
"kill!"
After the loud drink, the noisy scene immediately became quiet. The horse under the crotch of the shouting knight of the Peng family was frightened and neighed. It took a lot of effort to restrain him.
Since it was about to fight, the battle was about to start. In order to deal with the impact of the opponent's cavalry, the soldiers on Li Meng were preparing for the intense preparations, but they saw that the horses that were just marching and walking in the front were all running behind the team, marching with horses and stances. The horses and teams like the Peng family were arranged in front of and behind the team to prevent someone from escaping. The leader and confidants naturally rode horses in front.
Now they all rode their horses and retreated back, which really made Li Meng and others unable to touch their minds. After the horses hid behind the infantry, the scene that had just calmed down suddenly became chaotic and noisy again, screaming and crying, but the chaotic infantry brigade, which seemed to be refugees, began to move forward.
The Jiaozhou Camp was still quiet. After the brigade walked forward a few steps, Li Meng couldn't help laughing. The horse team hid behind the infantry and drove the infantry to charge. Many people used this move. The infantry was in chaos and the horse team then covered and killed. This was a normal practice.
But among the Peng family infantry, those with weapons were going to walk backwards, while those with shields were behind. Those who were fully equipped stood at the end, and those who were fixed in the front were all refugees with no shoes, holding wooden sticks and shaped like skeletons. The refugees were trembling.
Everyone doesn’t want to move forward, so what else can you do to fight like this? What a big joke!
"Use cavalry to drive away the strollers, the Peng family's horse team is the enemy!"
It was Tang Er who was beside Li Meng. After making meritorious service and returning to the cavalry team, he was loyal and did not fear death or injury in training and combat, and took the lead. Now he has been promoted to the position of the cavalry leader, and is still Li Meng's personal guard. When he heard Li Meng's order, he immediately jumped out of the battle.
After a whistle, eighty cavalry had moved from both sides to the front of the formation. The number of cavalry was not large and the formation was fast. Soon, they were already in three rows. The infantry on the opposite side were moving slowly, but they had only taken twenty steps. Tang Er was in the first row with a cavalry spear, and now he took the lead in everything.
The order was issued, and the eighty cavalrymen of Jiaozhou Camp began to move forward slowly. The cavalry training of Jiaozhou Camp was all taught by Zhang Lin. In fact, the Ming army system was also practiced in this way, but Jiaozhou Camp was trained in a solid manner, and the amount of training was increased.
The noisy sound on the opposite side only made the horses on Li Meng a little restless. Each row of cavalry was closely connected to each other. They held the spear back with one hand and clamped it with their arms. The tip of the spear was tilted downward, and they started to advance in front of them.
There was no shouting or shouting to kill, and just pushed it silently. The sound of horse hooves was relatively neat and rumbling. The infantrymen in the front row of the Peng family suddenly became panicked. Although the opponent's horses were not moving too fast, the momentum of dozens of horses walking together was like a wall, which made people feel palpitations.
Both sides were constantly approaching. One side controlled the speed to prevent the queue from being messed up, but the other side tried desperately to slow down and did not dare to fight. The horse team got closer and closer, and the infantry of the Peng family became more and more panicked. At first, some people ignored the supervision team behind them and ran towards both sides. Although some people were chopped to the ground by the people behind them after they ran a few steps, they still couldn't control this momentum.
At eighty or sixty steps, Tang Er's spear was raised upwards obliquely. The cavalrymen clamped the horse's belly with their legs. The horse's running speed increased, and the formation was still neat, which increased the psychological pressure on the other party, and even the infantry with swords and guns in their hands began to flee.
When the horses began to accelerate the charge, even the men of the Peng family who looked like infantry in armor and looked like infantrymen were running around. Some of them were confused and turned around and ran towards the horse team. Peng Kui and the horse thieves around him had no intention of being ruthless to their own people, and they were just slashing and killing randomly with their swords.
Some soldiers also resisted, and even the cavalry behind the Peng family looked a little chaotic. In the end, no one was worried about the fact that the cavalry rushed over, and their positions were still a little unstable. Even the Peng family slashed and killed them, not caring whether the chaotic soldiers in front of them were their own family members, even though they were distant.
The horse team from Jiaozhou Camp rushed into the Peng family's team, like a hot knife cutting lard
, separated to both sides without any obstacles, and the knife was too hot, and the solidified lard melted. As soon as the eighty cavalry rushed, the mob of nearly a thousand people collapsed instantly.
The momentum had already started to rush and crashed straight into the Peng family's cavalry formation. The situation of the cavalry was different. These horses were all old and they rushed in neatly, knowing that they could not hold on to the hard-pressing. Besides, there were many people who helped the boxing, so why should they hold on to the hard-pressing themselves?
As soon as we came here, the cavalry formation scattered, and everyone was on the periphery. The cavalry charged forward, and the horsepower was achieved and the next thing was to decline, and they just wanted to kill.
After the horse team of Jiaozhou Camp rushed into the cavalry formation, there was no killing and no damage. They barely maintained their formation and gathered into a column, without looking back, and rushed forward.
When they rushed in, they had already rushed into the depths of the cavalry formation. The sound horses did not expect that these cavalry would not be able to head, and rushed straight forward. The formation was very well maintained, as if they were a hedgehog. The team in front was a bit thin, so they could only let them rush out.
Peng Kui had been among the officers and soldiers for a few years and knew some rules. Seeing this situation, the other party was not damaged. The team he used to be cannon fodder and shields had already collapsed. Although the opponent's cavalry was few, they were elite. They had already rushed out. If he was beaten so passively, the situation would be out of control.
Most of the Jiaozhou camp were infantry and were slowly approaching here. The cavalry behind was already exhausted and needed rest. They left dozens of people to guard them. The remaining people rushed to the Jiaozhou camp in front of them and then came back to chase the cavalry.
After making up his attention, Peng Kui immediately pulled out his big sword, rushed towards the sky, and shouted loudly:
"My brothers, I defeated the dog thief in front of me. I, Peng Kui, will have 10% of the income you have in Dengzhou from now on. The rest will be shipped to my brother. I don't want any of the benefits of this dog thief, and everyone will take them away."
On weekdays, the Peng family wants to divide 40% of the horse thieves from all over Denglai. If the price is deducted, 50% will be the same. As for Li Meng, Wu Li personally knows all the rumors, but everyone knows that private salt transactions in Shandong are not an exaggeration.
With such a generous reward, the five hundred knights on his side were only seven hundred infantrymen, and the strongest cavalry had already rushed once again. The other party was definitely not an opponent. Everyone had either been a soldier or had seen wars. When did the cavalry be afraid of infantry, a cavalry could withstand ten infantrymen.
