Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

At the beginning of the battle, Zhang Zhi's original confidence gradually dissipated. Among the defenders, 80% were soldiers who had never experienced a real war. They had only encountered bandits, and those yellow scarfs would flee when they saw the army coming.

Once they encounter a powerful enemy, they will only tremble and fear.

After seeing the tragic situation in Paoze around them, several soldiers screamed in horror, and then ran towards the city, but they killed the soldiers supervising the battlefield. The bloody scenes not only did not allow the defenders to grow up from the war,

It further deepened the fear in their hearts. Many soldiers even stood blankly on the city wall. The cruelty on the battlefield gave them a huge impact.

Zhang Zhi let out a long sigh and walked down the city wall. His originally straight waist was bent a lot at this moment. His biggest support now seemed like a joke.

As soon as he returned to the army, he received news that Zhang Qi asked for an audience.

"General Zhang, the Marquis of Jin sent someone to convey the news. If General Zhang is willing to surrender, the captain of Jinan County will still be a general." Speaking of this, Zhang Qi was also a little envious. The captain of a county already has a high status.

status.

Zhang Zhi said: "This general is willing to surrender!"

Zhang Qi glanced at Zhang Zhi in confusion. From the information revealed in Zhang Zhi's previous words, it was obvious that he wanted to become a general, but unexpectedly, he changed his decision on the second day after the army arrived.

The city gate creaked open, and Zhang Zhi led the lieutenant generals to the outside of the city to welcome Lu Bu's army as they entered the city.

Seeing Zhang Zhi in front of people, Lu Bu nodded and said: "I am very pleased that General Zhang can abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. I will take care of General Zhang after entering the city."

"This is a matter within the scope of my subordinates." Zhang Zhi hurriedly clasped his fists and felt the importance Lu Bu attached to him. Even though Lu Bu was on a war horse, the huge gap in status made Zhang Zhi dare not complain at all.

After the army entered the city, they quickly took control of the city gate. The soldiers in the city also became prisoners of the army. Waiting for them, they may be selected to join the army, or they may be dismissed.

"My lord is truly a god." Dian Wei complimented.

Lu Bu smiled and said: "To deal with the enemy, you have to know what he is afraid of and what he needs."

Dian Wei nodded and said: "My lord, now that our army has captured Jinan County, why not send soldiers disguised as the Qingzhou Army to capture Linzi."

"Don't underestimate our opponents. As expected, the news of our army's arrival has already reached Linzi." Lu Bu said: "It is Yuan Tan who is guarding Qingzhou this time, and there are 20,000 soldiers and horses in Linzi City.

It is extremely difficult to conquer Linzi, and what I need is to plunge Linzi into turmoil, so that Yuan Shao has to fight our army decisively."

"My lord is wise," Dian Wei praised.

What makes Lu Bu feel regretful is that the equipment he just obtained in the craftsman's workshop has not been built. Otherwise, if he fights against Yuan Shao, the losses of the army will be even smaller, especially the repeated crossbow. Lu Bu has high hopes. If such a weapon of war appears,

It would be a nightmare for the armies of the princes. Lu Bu even planned in his heart to form a strong crossbow army. How spectacular it would be to attack with tens of thousands of strong crossbow soldiers.

In Linzi City, people are already panicking. The people and soldiers walking on the streets can't hide their panic. The main reason is that Lu Bu's army has arrived and has captured Dongping Tomb. That means Lu Bu

The army can arrive outside Linzi City at any time, threatening Linzi's security.

Yuan Tan has been in Qingzhou for a long time, and what he likes to do most is to discredit Lu Bu. This kind of thing is not only done by Yuan Tan, but also by other princes. It only makes Lu Bu's image worse in the hearts of ordinary soldiers and civilians. They

Only then will the rule of Lu Bu be more stable. This is also the reason why the soldiers and people in the city panicked when they heard the arrival of Lu Bu's army.

At this time, news about how kind Lu Bu was to the people, and the current situation in Jizhou, as well as the situation in Pingyuan County and Jinan County, reached Linzi. Many people were a little skeptical about this news. After all, they had been there before.

The news we heard was all about how cruel Lu Bu was, but now that I heard that Lu Bu was kind to the people, it was a little hard to believe.

In the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, Yuan Tan looked worried. Although he had never really fought against Lu Bu, he understood how terrifying Lu Bu's army was. In order to deal with Lu Bu's army, Yuan Tan even gathered most of Qingzhou's defenders.

In the city, the number of soldiers and horses in the city has reached 20,000 at this time. Lu Bu's army can only mobilize 15,000 people at full strength. Moreover, Yuan Tan has the advantage of the city, but Yuan Tan still has uneasiness.

Feel.

"Now Lu Bu has led his army to Jinan County. What's deplorable is that Zhang Zhi, the guard of Dongpingling, actually chose to surrender. There are three thousand troops in the city, and the food and grass are enough for the three thousand troops for half a year." Yuan Tan said through gritted teeth.

When the generals heard this, they were noncommittal. Yuan Tan gathered Qingzhou's army in Linzi, which showed the fear in his heart. The number of soldiers and horses in Dongping Ling was only 3,000, and they lacked even more equipment to defend the city. How could they resist it?

Lu Bu's army.

Linzi ordered Wang Xiudao: "General, there is no need to worry. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Linzi City. If we can work together to fight against Lu Bu, we may not be able to repel the enemy army. Moreover, our army has the advantage of the city and has 20,000 defenders. Lu Bu's command

There are just over 10,000 people.”

Wang Xiu was outstanding in both local governance and strategy, and Yuan Tan also had great trust in Wang Xiu. The main reason was Wang Xiu's unwavering support for him to become the heir to Yehou.

"My Lord Wang is right. Others are afraid of Lu Bu, but I am not afraid. If Lu Bu comes, I will lead my troops out of the city and kill him!"

After hearing the words, everyone looked for the owner of the words. He must be a great person with such a loud tone. However, when they saw that it was Han Xun, many people shook their heads secretly. Han Xun was the one who took refuge with Yuan Tan after he occupied Qingzhou.

Yuan Tan naturally did not have a clear understanding of how terrifying Lu Bu was. Han Xun's previous contacts were only enemies like the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou.

Yuan Tan laughed when he heard this and said: "There are fierce generals in the army, so why worry about not being able to defend Linzi."

The generals in the army praised them, but very few of them really took these words to heart. Even though Han Xun was so arrogant now, once Lu Bu led the army to arrive, he would understand what was going on between himself and the enemy.

Such a difference.

After everyone dispersed, Yuan Tan turned his attention to the counselors in the tent and said: "Now Qingzhou has reached its most critical moment. I hope you can help me to defend Linzi. Your great kindness will be rewarded generously."
