Peng Cai had no intention of using Peng Jin's watercraft in this battle, but wanted to give Peng Hu, who was attached to him, a chance to perform.
He had given Peng Hu a total of 5,000 men, ten times the number of Yuan's troops, so he wouldn't need Peng Jin's hundreds of fishermen as helpers, right?
So Peng Jin and his fellow fishermen have been watching the show on the river.
When Peng Jin received the order and hurriedly rowed a boat to pull more than a thousand people over from the other side of the bridge, Yuan Yao had already led his army back to the open space at the entrance of the bridge.
"Young Master, do you still want Peng Jin to lead people ashore to attack?"
Peng Cai said angrily: "Are you blind?"
"The officers and soldiers have withdrawn, and we still want to attack by force. Are you afraid that not enough people will die?"
"It won't be too late to attack together when Peng Hu's side has reorganized!"
"Hmph! Even if you, Yuan Yao, kill and injure hundreds of members of my Peng clan, what will happen?"
"Even if you can withdraw your troops in time and reorganize them, what will happen?"
"Aren't you surrounded by six to seven thousand of my people?"
"Wait, little Yuan Yao! Next, I will make you pay for the blood debt of hundreds of my Peng clan members!"
…
At the entrance of the bridge, Yuan Yao and a group of Yuan troops looked at the numerous Peng ships approaching on the river, and couldn't help but secretly feel happy in their hearts.
Fortunately, I didn’t get ahead too quickly!
"The young master uses his troops like a god and advances and retreats appropriately. His subordinates admire him!"
The pretender flattered him inappropriately.
In normal times, Yuan Yao might still find this useful.
But now Yuan Yao only cares about the life and death matters in front of him.
"How are the casualties of the soldiers? Have you calculated the number of enemy kills?"
Fake Marquis: "Eleven people were killed and twenty-three wounded."
"About 300 people were beheaded, not including those killed by horses. The number of casualties was at least 600."
Yuan Yao is quite satisfied with this number. After all, the Peng clan is not good at fighting, and they can run away really fast.
"Where's Huang Yi? Why haven't you seen him?"
Yuan Yao searched for a week, but could not find Huang Yi.
Could it be that Huang Yi suffered an accident when the entire army attacked just now?
The fake marquis hurriedly said: "Of those eleven people who died in battle, there was no General Huang!"
Said Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.
Huang Yi happily ran to Yuan Yao with a small bag in his pocket.
As soon as he came over, he held up the small cloth bag and winked: "Brother-in-law, what do you think is in this?"
"Where did you pick up the gold and silver jewelry?"
"Everything seized is confiscated!"
Yuan Yaoyan didn't even raise his head and didn't even bother to look.
"No, no, no, not gold, silver and jewelry!"
Huang Yi shook his head and deliberately dangled his small cloth bag in front of Yuan Yao.
"Gold, silver and jewelry are not as valuable as farmland and a mansion!"
Only then did Yuan Yao see that the small cloth bag on Huang Yi's hand was still oozing with blood.
Looking at Huang Yi again, he saw that the armor on his body was stained with blood.
Huang Yi spread the cloth bag conspicuously, revealing seven of the ears.
"See, this is ninety acres of land!"
"Kill three more, and according to what you said, I will get two hundred acres of land, plus slaves to work cattle and a good house!"
Yuan Yao looked at the bloody ears in front of him, but he didn't feel sick anymore.
When he was charging with the army just now, he had already vomited completely.
Fortunately, there were personal guards blocking him, and the ordinary soldiers only stared at Peng's tribe and slashed at their backs, and no one noticed his embarrassment on the battlefield for the first time.
"Why do you care about this?"
"No, I mean, why did you go into battle to kill the enemy?"
Yuan Yao was very confused. In his memory, Huang Yi had never shown that he had force.
Otherwise, when Yuan Yao saw him for the first time, he would not dare to just pick up the stick and beat him.
Huang Yi rolled his eyes at Yuan Yao: "I just don't like to fight, but that doesn't mean I can't fight!"
"Don't think that I, like you, are a child of an aristocratic family who is not good at six arts and has no knowledge or skills!"
It seems that Huang Yi finally dared to say the words buried deep in his heart because of the pleasure of killing people today.
Yuan Yao looked at Huang Yi covered in blood, but he didn't believe it.
"Can you beat seven against one?"
"You're just a bastard. I'll still believe you if you steal a chicken and kill one or two people!"
"You can beat seven with one? I don't believe it!"
"What does Lao Liu and stealing chicken mean?"
“I can’t understand you more and more what you are saying!”
"But you kid must be looking down on me, look at me!"
Huang Yi rolled his eyes at Yuan Yao again, drew out his sword, and performed a clean sword dance. Without even looking at the scabbard, he directly inserted the sword back into its scabbard.
This time, even the pretender who claimed to be well-informed was shocked.
"To be honest, young master, I was a swordsman before I came down. I worked as a swordsman in Huainan and Huaibei for several years, and I have met many people who are knights in Huainan."
"But it is indeed rare to see someone who can dance with a sword as freely as General Huang!"
Yuan Yao also believed it after seeing the sword flower. His sword was the same as Huang Yi's, it was the same iron sword with a gold scabbard and a copper handle.
But to dance a two or three kilogram iron sword into a sword flower, I really couldn't do it after a while.
Yuan Yao laughed on the spot!
If I had known you were so good at fighting, why would I have bothered to set up Qi Ji and Qin Yi?
With you as a bodyguard, it's more than enough to handle ordinary nightclubs!
"Okay, okay, I believe it!"
"One against seven, come on, let's discuss how to fight next!"
"I'm one against seven, not Itachi!"
"Speak carefully, otherwise I always feel like you are scolding me!"
"No, no, absolutely not this time! One against seven, you believe me!"
…
"What?"
"You want to cross the river to the other side?"
One dozen seven stood up suddenly, shook their heads and resolutely objected: "I don't agree!"
"The Xiushui River divides into the north and south branches less than three miles upstream from here. We are only on the north bank of the north branch now!"
"The other side of this wooden bridge looks like a plain, but it is actually a river island surrounded by two tributaries from the north to the south. It is a dead place surrounded by water!"
"The southernmost part of Hezhou is Shangliao City, Peng's hometown!"
"If you want to completely cross the Xiushui River to the south bank, you can only cross the river by boat from the ferry at the southern end of Shangliao City!"
Yuan Yao held Huang Yi down and said patiently:
"One against seven, aren't we now surrounded by enemies on three sides?"
"After the four to five thousand people on the front have regrouped and reorganized, we will launch an attack together with the thousands of people on both sides. How long can we hold on standing on the flat ground at the bridge entrance where there is no danger to defend?"
"Why don't we take advantage of them and pull all the people on the other side of the bridge onto the boat. There are not many people guarding the bridge. Let's break out directly from the bridge to the south!"
Huang Yi rolled his eyes at Yuan Yao: "What then?"
"Even if we can cross the bridge to Hezhou, what next?"
"Lu Dai's reinforcements are coming from the north. We are safe for a while, but what happens next?"
"The Peng family has so many ships that they can transport thousands of people to Hezhou to continue besieging us!"
"If Peng breaks the bridge then, how will Lu Dai rescue us? Let him lead people to swim across, or should we jump into the river and escape?"
"Or do we still hope that Zheng Bao, who doesn't even know where he is now, will lead the navy to rescue us?"
Yuan Yao did not blame Huang Yi for his fierce reaction, because the strategy he proposed this time was too risky!
Compared with the strategy of using fire horses to launch an array and the whole army taking the initiative to attack, I don’t know how many times more risks are involved!
