Rebirth God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 1232: Cao Jun Siege
The archers on Cao Jun’s well fence can be said to be the most unlucky on the battlefield. Once a well fence is found close to the city wall, the thunder chariots on the city will definitely greet them at the first time. In terms of accuracy, although the thunder chariots are not satisfactory, However, the superiority in numbers cannot be resisted.
The most tragic thing is Cao Jun, who not only has to bear the threat from thunderbolt cars and bed crossbows, but also has to worry about the boulders falling from the top of his head while climbing the ladder.
After five consecutive days of siege, the walls of Xiapi were covered with blood, and broken arms and limbs could be seen everywhere below the city. Going up the city wall, if Zang Ba hadn't led people to kill him in time, the city wall might have been breached by Cao Jun.
The price Cao Jun paid was also huge. In the five-day siege, the number of soldiers who died outside the city reached 2,000, and the loss of the defenders reached 500. The losses of the two sides were roughly equal. Four.
If the siege was replaced by the Xuzhou army, the damage of the Xuzhou army would be even greater, and Zang Ba also saw the madness of the Cao army. Once the drums sounded, he attacked the city wall like a madman, and the robes kept falling , and did not hinder them.
Facing this kind of battle situation, Cao Cao didn't have the slightest worry. He was determined to win the war. The loss of ordinary soldiers on the battlefield is nothing more than normal. Only war and sacrifice can make soldiers in the army grow rapidly and die in battle. Eighty percent of those outside Picheng were soldiers who had just joined the army.
Compassion does not command soldiers, Cao Cao doesn't care about the life and death of ordinary soldiers, what he needs is an elite soldier, and Xiapi City is the place where he trains soldiers at this time.
Cao Jun's attack, regardless of casualties, lasted for half a month. Zang Ba could clearly feel that the morale of Cao Jun outside the city was not low because of the loss, but on the contrary, the more they fought, the more courageous they became.
The defenders in the city were already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and after the siege began, Cao Jun gathered all the thunder chariots outside the city to the north of the city, and after filling up the moat, he also launched an attack from inside the city.
This kind of situation made the defenders a bit stretched. Excluding the lost number of the 8,000 defenders, there are only more than 1,000 people assigned to each city wall, and the remaining soldiers are used as mobile forces.
Zang Ba said worriedly: "The Cao army outside the city is so fierce. If this continues, the city will be broken by the Cao army within half a month at most."
Chen Gong nodded and said: "Most of Cao's army are newly recruited soldiers. Cao Cao must have regarded Xiapi as a place to train soldiers."
Zang Ba's eyes tightened, but he had a deeper fear of Cao Cao in his heart. Once such a character made up his mind to do something, he would not stop because of obstacles.
"Gongtai, if things go on like this, we have to give up Xiapi." Zang Ba sighed. According to the news from the city, the hearts of the aristocratic family are fluctuating. If the aristocratic family stands on Cao Cao's side, it will be fatal.
Chen Gongdao: "Why should the general be so discouraged? When the general was in Langya, he had only a few thousand soldiers and horses, but he was able to achieve what he has achieved today. Although there are many Cao troops outside the city, if the general can lead the cavalry to attack Cao's army successfully , it will definitely raise the morale in the city, and it is no problem to defend Xiapi, but before that, the general needs to meet with the aristocratic family in the city, and the aristocratic family has had unusual movements during this time."
Zang Ba said coldly: "If the aristocratic family is dishonest, I don't mind letting them have a taste of my power."
Chen Gongdao: "The strength of the aristocratic families should not be underestimated. If these aristocratic families cannot be appeased, once they join the Cao army outside the city, it will be a huge disaster for Xiapi."
Zang Ba said: "Let the patriarchs of the aristocratic families in the city come to the army to have a banquet tonight."
The aristocratic families in the city did not dare to neglect after receiving Zang Ba's order. During this period of time, the Cao army attacked fiercely, and the defenders paid a high price. It did make the aristocratic families in the city have more ideas. Cao Cao is even more powerful, although Cao Cao's treatment of Xuzhou's soldiers and civilians was cruel,
However, Cao Cao listened to the counselor's advice before the siege, and spread the news in the city that he would not embarrass the family and the people after the siege. At that time, they are very likely to betray Zang Ba.
But at this time, Zang Ba is still the actual controller of Xiapi. If he offends Zang Ba, it may lead to the complete decline of the family.
Zang Ba glanced at the patriarch of the family in the tent, and snorted coldly: "This general led the soldiers to resist Cao Jun's attack so that you would not be slaughtered by Cao Jun, but some people believed the news that Cao Jun spread in the city. Who dares to betray this general at such a time, even if this general cannot hold Xiapi, he will disappear from the city."
The patriarch of the aristocratic family in the tent was shocked when they heard Zang Ba's words. They did not doubt the authenticity of Zang Ba's words. Zang Ba is a long-established figure in Xuzhou. .
"Don't worry, general, the Zhang family will definitely stand by the general's side and help the general resist Cao's army. Now the Zhang family has 500 private soldiers, waiting for the general to dispatch." The Patriarch of the Zhang family immediately stood up and expressed his opinion.
Zang Ba nodded slightly and said: "Master Zhang understands the righteousness. After repelling the Cao army, this general will definitely not treat the Zhang family badly. Although the Cao army has a large number of people, as long as we stick to the city, why not repel the Cao army."
With the statement of the head of the Zhang family, the rest of the family also expressed their views.
Zang Ba has also seen the power of the aristocratic family. From the hands of these aristocratic families alone, Zang Ba has obtained two thousand private soldiers. The arrival of these two thousand private soldiers can greatly relieve the pressure on the aristocratic family. Zang Ba understands that this is far from the real strength of the aristocratic family, and they must have many private soldiers hiding in the dark.
At the same time, Zang Ba is also glad that Chen Gong reminded him in time. Otherwise, once these aristocratic families unite and cooperate with Cao Jun outside the city, even if the rebellion of the aristocratic families in the city can be quelled, the defenders will suffer heavy losses. Under such circumstances However, if the defenders lose any more, it will be extremely disadvantageous.
Outside the city, the tents of the Cao Army's Central Army were also brightly lit. They attacked Xiapi one after another, but failed to break through. Count as wounded soldiers.
Cao Cao turned his attention to Xun You and asked, "How is the contact with the aristocratic family in the city?"
Xun You cupped his hands and said, "My lord, there are currently three families in the city who are willing to join our army. Although the other families have contacted, they have not responded clearly."
