Rebirth God of War Lu Bu

In the face of life and death and interests, people's choice is often to live. How powerful the Jizhou family is, but they gradually became honest after the Bingzhou Army broke through Jizhou. It's not that they don't want to resist, but the monarch's strength is too strong. , After failure, it will be destroyed, so that the aristocratic family dare not act rashly.

The Bingzhou army began to attack the city day and night. After three consecutive days of attacking the city, the east wall was full of potholes. The damage caused by the defenders is also huge.

The most serious casualties were the soldiers on the city wall manipulating Thunderbolt cars. They needed to be on guard against boulders from outside the city at all times, and many Thunderbolt riders were directly hit by the boulders.

The defenders inside the city are not like the Chang'an army outside the city. After soldiers are injured, they cannot receive timely treatment. Their lives are not that important in the eyes of the generals. Even Ma Chao thinks so, unless they are soldiers in the army. Generals can get timely medical treatment after being injured.

In such troubled times, the loss of ordinary soldiers is nothing in the eyes of generals. Instead of spending more money and energy on wounded soldiers, it is better to recruit soldiers again, and the cost will be lower.

However, they ignored the benefits that would be brought to the ruler once the wounded soldiers were cured.

Ma Chao gathered the aristocratic families in the city together, and now that the war has reached such a point, it is necessary to mobilize the power of the aristocratic families and let the aristocratic families stand firmly on his side in order to win the war.

The largest families in Xiabian City are the Zhao family and the Li family. These two families control nearly 40% of the land in Wudu. This is a terrifying figure. Of course, the strength of the two families is extremely terrifying. influence.

The reason why Ma Chao was able to break through Wudu so easily back then was inseparable from the help of the two families.

"Patriarch Li, Patriarch Zhao, the enemy's offensive is now fierce. Our army suffered heavy losses under the enemy's thunderbolt chariots, and the thunderbolt chariots in the city were damaged a lot. According to the current situation, within three days, the enemy's Then the moat can be filled, and then Xiabian will face the biggest threat." Ma Chao worried.

Zhang Qi said: "General, don't worry, the Zhang family will definitely stand on the general's side. The Zhang family has a thousand private soldiers, and they still have some combat power. If the enemy forces attack the city, they can also be used."

The Patriarch of the Li family, Li Tao, also echoed: "With the general's bravery and the elite soldiers, it is no problem to defend the lower class. As long as the general has two families, just say so."

Ma Chao nodded slightly, and was quite satisfied with the attitudes of Zhang Qi and Li Tao. As for the fact that the two secretly manipulated the price of rice in the city, which more than doubled the usual price, Ma Chao didn't take it seriously. Now that the great war is coming, it is still unknown whether Xia Jue can hold it, and the life and death of ordinary people is not a concern for him.

"Based on the words of Patriarch Zhang and Patriarch Li, this general is more confident in defending Xiabian. What I have to guard against is that there will be families in the city who secretly seek refuge with the enemy. The two patriarchs should pay more attention to the secrets. The methods of the Marquis of Jin are extremely powerful. Ma Chao reminded that this is exactly what he was worried about. When the Bingzhou Army secretly dispatched assassins during the decisive battle with the coalition forces of the princes in Huguan, it caused a lot of damage to the generals of the coalition forces of the princes. It will cause unrest in the city.

Zhang Qi said with a smile: "The general is not being too careful. The aristocratic families in the city will definitely not seek refuge with Lu Bu."

The three discussed for a long time, and at the same time, the Li family and the Zhang family also paid a lot of money, and got the promise of Lu Bu and Ma Chao, and they left one after another.

The reason why the aristocratic family supported Ma Chao in this way was because of how much benefit they could gain after Ma Chao repelled the enemy. War is certainly terrible, but the benefits brought by war are also huge. The strength of the family will be further improved. As for the weak family, at this time,

A better choice is to seek refuge with the big family. In the long run, the strength of the small family will become weaker and weaker, while the power controlled by the big family will become stronger.

Regardless of the large number of defenders in the city at this time, as long as the Zhang family and Li family decide to join Lv Bu, it will be difficult for Ma Chao to survive the enemy's offensive, and there are many people from aristocratic families in the army.

After Zhang Qi and Li Tao left, Ma Chao's complexion became gloomy. He was very dissatisfied with discussing the dispute with the heads of the two families in such a humble manner. Anyway, he is the actual controller of Wudu. Now it depends on the faces of the two families. Ma Chao has secretly placed the two families on the list of future elimination.

The support of a powerful family can certainly make the rule more stable, but if the family does not know how to advance and retreat, it will also bring a lot of trouble to the ruler.

Three days later, the moat of Xiabian was filled under the successive offensives of the Chang'an army. After the moat that the defenders relied on was filled, it meant that they would next come into close contact with the enemy.

After seeing this situation, Ma Chao no longer had the anxiety he had before. As long as the enemy attacked the city, the Perak Chariot's offensive would stop, and the advantage of the city wall would be fully reflected at this moment. As long as he defended with his heart, Ma Chao would be able to It can make the Chang'an army pay a heavy price, and thus be unable to attack Longxi. In Ma Chao's heart, the status of Wudu is far inferior to Longxi.

However, to Ma Chao's surprise, the army outside the city was not in a hurry to attack the city, but used the advantage of the thunderbolt chariot to continuously create troubles for the defenders.

Lü Bu has been on the battlefield for many years, and there are Pang Tong and Ju Shou in the army who are planning from it. Naturally, he will not attack the subordinates after the moat is filled. He must make full use of the advantages of the army to cause damage to the enemy. There are not many cars that can be used, but in this regard, the Chang'an Army has an absolute advantage.

The bed crossbows were carried to the east of the city by soldiers of the Chang'an Army. Under the command of the general, the bed crossbows were fired at once, and densely packed crossbow arrows spread all over the city wall, which looked shocking.

The crossbow arrows played a big role when the soldiers attacked the city. If the attacking side wants to let the soldiers attack the city wall, they can only use the ladder. After the ladder is pushed down by the defenders, the crossbow arrows on the wall can help their own side The soldiers stabilized their stature, and then attacked the city wall again.

Compared with the consumption of crossbow arrows, Lu Bu cared more about the lives of ordinary soldiers. It took a lot of money to train an elite soldier, and only soldiers in the army could survive to the greatest extent on the battlefield. will be more.
