Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2077: The literati are ruthless and all the people are soldiers

"Even if we really take this step, we must not rush this move. This Chen Liunuo is a big county, so we have to let him exert his final value!" Zhao Pu showed a warm smile.

Furthermore, even if they wanted to retreat, they couldn't retreat all at once.

At least, all the food and grass in the Chenliu must be transported away first.

Zhao Kuangyin was short of food. In order to squeeze out the potential of his rule as much as possible, he had already forcibly collected the people's food and implemented military control.

At that time, whether it was Cao Cao or Chi You, they did the same thing when they were short of food. They forcibly collected the people's food and grass, and relied on porridge every day that could almost be used as a mirror, barely hanging on to the lives of the people.

The remainder will be used for the needs of the army.

Now, since they are all about to withdraw from Chenliu, these Chenliu people, who used to be their people, naturally want to control their life and death. But after they withdrew from Chenliu, these people would naturally no longer be their people, and there would be no need to care about their lives.

At the same time, on that day, under Zhao Pu's mobilization, almost all the young people in Chenliu were captured and forcibly incorporated into the army.

And what kind of fighting power can these common people who don't even have enough to eat show? This is just like the first Yellow Turban soldiers during the Yellow Turban Uprising. They were simply peasants who took up arms. When they encountered those regular soldiers and horses, even second-rate regular soldiers and horses, under proper command, they could Can fight with ten times the force.

However, it is certainly impossible for Zhao Pu to do useless work.

No matter from any aspect, the two sides are absolutely different and have almost overwhelming advantages.

These peasant soldiers with low combat effectiveness were naturally on the verge of collapse. They were unable to cause any effective casualties to the Jin army, let alone rely on these people to make a comeback!

"Now, Chen Liu is bleeding like a river again!" Yuan Shen sighed indifferently.

"Damn it, these scholars are really dark!" Yuan Chonghuan, who was responsible for covering the left and right wings, received the news from the battlefield. Even he was frightened for a while.

He forcibly recruited so many soldiers and horses. From the beginning, he did not expect these soldiers and horses to help him win the battle. The purpose of recruiting these soldiers and horses was to kill people from the beginning. Letting these people kill people is in itself playing their best role.

These peasant soldiers, under Zhao Pu's arrangement, were forcibly sent to the battlefield to fight Wei Qing head-on!

But in fact, at this time, Tian Dan's main troops began to retreat slowly under the guidance of Guan Ning's Iron Cavalry under Yuan Chonghuan from Jizhou and Youzhou's Youyan Jingqi.

This Chen Liu is extremely unlucky!

During Cao Cao's last battle, for various purposes, almost all the people in the city were buried with him.

But this time, Zhao Pu came even more ruthlessly, sending almost all the young men in the county to the battlefield.

However, even if the Jin army is defeated at the first touch, how many people will die in the process if the Jin army defeats such a huge army? How many people died during the escape of this soldier and horse?

Not to mention, these people may have been farmers before, but when they were armed and went to the battlefield, they became soldiers. What were their heads to the Jin army soldiers? That is naked military exploits!

Moreover, it is a feat that comes to the door with soft persimmons.

For those ordinary Jin soldiers, these people are money, food, and land. As long as they chop off a few more heads, they will have everything they need!

And under normal combat, how many heads can these soldiers cut off if they work hard? Most of the soldiers could not even distinguish their heads. But when a wave of opportunities like this came, would they go crazy? Even if their superiors ordered to capture them alive, wouldn't these soldiers cut them one more time in the process of forcing them to capture them alive? Even when Ming Jin withdrew his troops, they cut him one more time. Can this kind of thing be explained clearly?

Therefore, these people must suffer heavy casualties.

Of course, no matter what, under normal circumstances, even if this centaur suffered heavy casualties, in the end, most of them were still likely to be captured alive.

But after these people were captured alive, these so-called soldiers with little combat effectiveness continued to consume the Jin army's food and grass. The more prisoners the Jin army captured, the more food and grass they consumed.

In addition, these are all native Chenliu people. The more serious the killing of these people, the more difficult it will be to win back the hearts of Chenliu people and the longer it will take.

"Brother God, you should know how powerful those literati are by now!"

"No matter how powerful you are, how many people can you kill in your lifetime?"

"But scholars like this might kill more than ten times, or even dozens or hundreds of times more people than you have killed in your lifetime just by talking!" Yuan Chonghuan said meaningfully.

A fierce general like Yuan Shen relies too much on his own force. But success depends on force and failure depends on force. He relies too much on his own force, which also makes him always scornful of those literati, and does not take those soft literati seriously.

Making others pay the price and making Yuan Shen realize how powerful these literati are, at least for them, is a great thing.

"It's just that Zhao Pu has assembled such a team. No matter how large the number is, it is still just a mob. How long can it stop the Jin army?" Yuan Shen shook his head and asked.

Allowing these rabble to delay the Jin army, Yuan Shen indeed did not think highly of them.

"Drink! With so many people, it will take a while to kill even pigs, let alone humans!" Yuan Chonghuan said nonchalantly.

It is of course easy for the Jin army to defeat these people, but after defeating these people, how to completely control these people is really time-consuming.

This period of time was naturally enough for Tian Dan to make many arrangements, and naturally enough for Tian Dan to lead his soldiers and horses to a safe distance.

Even if Wei Qing wanted to send a small force to delay Tian Dan's withdrawal, it would not be easy.

Tian Dan took the initiative to withdraw his troops, rather than fleeing in defeat. The soldiers and horses under his command were not in chaos. If he really chased after him without enough troops, he would be easily swallowed up by others.

Wei Qing is powerful, but Tian Dan is definitely not given for nothing.

Not to mention, there are them on the left and right wings and the cavalry troops located in Youzhou, Dongjun! Just with these two troops covering the left and right wings, the small Jin army did not dare to press forward easily.

The large force was unable to escape within a short period of time, but the small force did not have the ability to press forward. Tian Dan actually made a pretty safe move in this round.
