Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

In the face of life, 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 conquered Jizhou. It's not that they don't want to resist, but that the monarch's strength is too strong

, failure will lead to destruction, making the family dare not act rashly.

The Bingzhou Army began to siege the city day and night. After three consecutive days of siege, the east wall was riddled with potholes and there were no arrows on the top of the wall. Most of them were hit by thunderbolt chariots. Similarly, the thunderbolt chariots were hit by

The damage caused by the defenders was also huge.

Those who suffered the most casualties were the soldiers operating the Pili Chariots on the city wall. They had to be constantly on guard against boulders coming from outside the city, and many Pili Chariots were directly hit by boulders.

The garrison inside the city is not like the Chang'an army outside the city. After the 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 in the army.

Generals can receive timely 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 new troops, which will cost less.

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

Ma Chao has gathered the aristocratic families in the city together. When the war has reached this stage, he must mobilize the power of the aristocratic families and make the aristocratic families stand unswervingly on his side in order to win the war.

The largest families in Shimoben City are the Zhao family and the Li family. These two families control nearly 40% of the land in Wudu. This is a terrifying number. Of course, the strength of the two families is extremely terrifying. They have terrifying powers in Wudu.

of influence.

The reason why Ma Chao was able to defeat Wudu so easily in the first place was inseparable from the help of the two families. In return, Ma Chao treated both families with great courtesy.

"Master Li, Master Zhao, the enemy's offensive is fierce now. Our army has suffered heavy losses under the enemy's Pili Chariots. The Pili Chariots in the city have been damaged a lot. According to the current situation, within three days, the enemy's troops will be defeated.

The moat can be filled in, and then Xiabian will face the greatest threat." Ma Chao said worriedly.

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 fighting strength. If the enemy attacks the city, they can come in handy."

Li Tao, the head of the Li family, also echoed: "With the bravery of the general and the elite soldiers of the army, it is naturally a piece of cake to defend Xia Bian. Whenever the general is in charge of two families, he can say so clearly."

Ma Chao nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the attitude of Zhang Qi and Li Tao. As for the two companies secretly manipulating the price of rice grains in the city, causing the price of rice grains to more than double than usual, Ma Chao did not take it to heart.

, when the war comes, it is still unknown whether Xiabin can be defended, and the life and death of ordinary people is not a matter of concern to him.

"With the words of the Zhang family and the Li family, I am more confident in guarding Xiabian. What I have to guard against is that there will be aristocratic families in the city secretly surrendering to the enemy. The two family heads should pay more attention to it secretly. Jin Hou's methods are extremely powerful.

." Ma Chao reminded that this was exactly what he was worried about. When the Bingzhou Army had a decisive battle with the coalition of princes at Huguan, they secretly sent assassins, but the generals of the coalition of princes suffered a lot. If there were assassins who sneaked into the city, they would definitely be killed.

It will cause unrest in the city.

Zhang Qi smiled and said: "General, to avoid being too careful, the aristocratic families in the city will definitely not seek refuge with Lu Bu."

The three of them discussed for a long time. At the same time, the Li family and the Zhang family also paid a lot of money to get Lu Bu and Ma Chao's permission before they left one after another.

The reason why the family supports Ma Chao so much is because they see how much benefit they can gain after Ma Chao defeats the enemy. War is terrible, but the benefits brought by war are also huge. If they can be used properly, the family will

The strength of the small aristocratic family will be further improved. As for the weak aristocratic families, at this time, the better choice is to join the big aristocratic family. Over time, the strength of the small aristocratic family will become weaker and weaker, and the power controlled by the big aristocratic family will be

More powerful.

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

After Zhang Qi and Li Tao left, Ma Chao's expression became gloomy. He was very dissatisfied by discussing the issue of separation with the heads of the two families in such a low voice. After all, he was the actual controller of Wudu.

Now it depends on the faces of the two families. Secretly, Ma Chao has placed the two families on the list to be eliminated in the future.

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

Three days later, the moat in Shimoben was filled in under the Chang'an Army's successive offensives. Once the moat that the defenders relied on was filled in, it meant that they would be in close contact with the enemy.

After seeing this situation, Ma Chao no longer had the anxiety he had before. As long as the enemy attacks the city, the Thunderbolt Chariot's offensive will stop, and the advantage of the city wall can be maximized at this moment. As long as he defends carefully, Ma Chao will

It would 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 was far inferior to that of Longxi.

However, to Ma Chao's expectation, the army outside the city did not rush to attack the city, but took advantage of the thunder chariots to continuously cause trouble for the defenders.

Lu Bu has been on the battlefield for many years, and he has Pang Tong in the army. Ju Shuo is planning from it. Naturally, he will not launch an attack on Xia Bian after the moat is filled. He will make full use of the advantages of the army to cause damage to the enemy. The defenders will be thunderbolts.

There are not many vehicles that can be used anymore, but in this regard, Chang'an Army has an absolute advantage.

The bed crossbows were carried to the east of the city by the soldiers of the Chang'an Army. Under the general's order, the bed crossbows were fired in unison. The city walls were covered with dense crossbow arrows, which looked shocking.

Crossbow arrows play a big role when soldiers attack the city. If the siege side wants the soldiers to 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 bodies and then attacked the city wall again.

Compared with the consumption of crossbows, Lu Bu cared more about the lives of ordinary soldiers. Training an elite soldier required a lot of costs, and only soldiers in the army could survive on the battlefield to the greatest extent, and the elite soldiers they obtained

will be more.
