Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1691: Attack on Dunhuang

In the past, Dong Wu would not have had many problems with such thoughts. After all, soldiers only had so many means when attacking a city. However, they were facing an army that had greatly developed, especially

It is in the siege of the city. After many years of battles, the strength of the princes has been greatly improved. The most obvious thing is in the siege of the city.

A city that used to take two months to capture, under the pressure of thunderbolt chariots and bed crossbows, may be captured in a month, or it may be even shorter.

After the 20,000-strong army showed off outside the city, they chose to attack the city from both sides. There are now thousands of defenders in the city, and their strength cannot be underestimated.

One after another, Thunderbolt Chariots were set up three hundred steps away from the city wall. The defenders on the city looked puzzled after seeing this scene. In their understanding, if the enemy wanted to attack the city, they would naturally

This could only be achieved by approaching the city wall and climbing to the top of the city. The fact that these soldiers were busy three hundred steps away from the city wall made them extremely puzzled.

Not only the defenders on the city, but Dong Wu also felt the same way. Dunhuang was the ultimate road for the countries in the Western Regions to enter Liangzhou, and the city to the east of Dunhuang was occupied by the Qiang people. This situation made Dunhuang

The defenders knew very little about the princes of the Central Plains. It was understandable that they did not know about things like thunderbolt chariots and bed crossbows.

After a busy day, quiet gradually returned to the outside of the city.

The next day, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the city wall, the army outside the city had already gathered, and the soldiers controlling the Thunderbolt Chariot were fully prepared. They were only waiting for the general's order to launch an attack on Dunhuang.

Lu Bu glanced at the city in the distance and gave the order to attack. Of course, this order was conveyed to the Thunderbolt Chariot, and behind the Thunderbolt Chariot were soldiers carrying earth bags on their shoulders. On these soldiers, there were not even any

For the protection of the armor, what they have to do is to throw the bags of earth into the moat at an extremely fast speed. This is also a necessary process to attack a city. Only after the moat is filled can they approach the city wall and pose a threat to the defenders.

Dong Wu saw the army outside the city and hurriedly ordered the archers to prepare.

The process of the enemy filling up the moat is when the greatest damage is caused to the enemy. In order to pursue speed, the soldiers filling up the moat will naturally not wear armor. The defenders can calmly shoot the enemy at this time.

This is also when the defender's advantage is maximized, and the attacking side can only sacrifice the lives of its soldiers.

After receiving Dong Wu's order, the archers on the city aimed their bows and arrows outside the city.

There was no rumbling war drums, only the roaring boulders. The soldiers who were waiting in formation on the city saw the overwhelming boulders.

Black shadows shrouded the city with boundless power, and the city suddenly fell into chaos. Under the boulders, the defenders were so weak that the armor on their bodies could not protect them at all.

One archer fell into a pool of blood, wailing loudly.

Hundreds of Thunderbolt Chariots attacked together with an astonishing momentum. The most important thing was the shock it brought to the defenders. They had never seen this type of siege method before, but now that they were exposed to it, they would have such a reaction.

The power of the Thunderbolt Chariot and Pao Ze's screams made many defenders look pale. Some timid soldiers even moved towards the city. However, after seeing the bright swords and guns in the hands of the soldiers responsible for supervising the battlefield, they could only

give up.

Not only the defenders on the city, but also the soldiers responsible for supervising the battlefield turned pale when they saw this situation, and many soldiers were holding on.

When the enemy is attacking a city, the most relaxed thing is for the soldiers responsible for supervising the battlefield. They are very safe on the battlefield and do not have to worry about threats from the enemy. However, this time, the supervising soldiers were not spared either. Three soldiers

He was directly hit by a huge boulder and his flesh and blood were mutilated.

A round of boulder attacks plunged the city into turmoil. Although Dong Wu kept issuing orders, the effect was not very good.

The soldiers controlling the Thunderbolt Chariot did not stop, but worked hard to throw more boulders onto the city wall, causing maximum damage to the defenders.

After the third round of boulders, the soldiers responsible for filling up the moat began to move. At this time, the city was in a panic, and no defenders would take care of the soldiers who were filling up the moat.

Lu Bu secretly regretted the situation on the city. If Dunhuang did not have this 60-foot-wide moat, the army would be able to capture Dunhuang just relying on the cover of the Thunderbolt Chariot. For soldiers who have never experienced the Thunderbolt Chariot, the Thunderbolt Chariot is a must.

The power generated during the attack was enough to make them retreat.

Half an hour later, the chaos in the city abated a lot. Several of the soldiers responsible for supervision also died. Two of the soldiers responsible for supervision even wanted to escape from the city wall, but were killed ruthlessly by Pao Ze. This shows that Pili

What a deterrent the car created in their minds.

The Pili Chariot's attack is still continuing, and after one day, a quarter of the moat has been filled in. According to this situation, it will only take four days for the army outside the city to fill in the moat.

Dong Wu's plan failed again. He originally thought that the existence of the city could stop the Jin King's army, but he didn't expect that the enemy army could still cause considerable damage to the defenders when facing the city.

In fact, very few soldiers were hit by the boulder, but the deterrent caused by the boulder was huge, especially the tragic death of Pao Ze next to them, which was a huge stimulus to them.

No one is willing to die if they can survive, and the same is true for the defenders of Dunhuang.

At this time, Chen Ying's figure flashed through the minds of some soldiers. They thought of Chen Ying's decision. At first, they didn't feel anything. But now when they faced the attack of the previous army, they suddenly understood Chen Ying's decision.

With good intentions, some generals even looked at Dong Wu with a hint of resentment.

After three consecutive days, the moat was almost filled, and the defenders on the city gradually adapted to the attack of the Thunderbolt Chariot. They hid behind the parapet and shivered. Under the power of the boulder, human strength is fragile.

.

At this time, the generals in the Dunhuang army became more dissatisfied with Dong Wu, especially the news spread by Xi Zuo in the city, which made many generals yearn more for joining the King of Jin, and the army sergeants

What was discussed in private was the army outside the city. In a war, the lives of ordinary soldiers are the most despicable. On this point, ordinary soldiers still have a clear understanding.

Dong Wu also realized that something was wrong. If the situation continued like this, it would be difficult to hold Dunhuang. He could only place his hope on the reinforcements sent to the countries in the Western Regions.
