Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 180: Letters from Yanzhou
During the attack and defense, the attacking side has a numerical advantage, but it is a great test for the quality of the soldiers. They need to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions, otherwise they will die. Suddenly, a huge wooden boulder appeared on the city.
The arrows that arrive can threaten the lives of the siege soldiers.
The advantage of the defenders is that injured soldiers can be transported to the city for treatment without worrying about dying among the rebels.
The objects wrapped in cowhide made Liu Bei frown, and his eyes never left these things.
Lu Bu also looked at Cao Jun's secret weapon curiously, wondering what was under the cowhide.
There are many ladders, and those who can be selected to attack the city wall are all the elites of Cao's army. They move vigorously and climb quickly, but the wood and rolling stones on the city are life-threatening to them.
Approaching the city gate, the thing wrapped in cowhide revealed its true appearance. They were rams one after another. More than ten soldiers pushed the rams and rammed them hard towards the city gate.
With a roar, Lu Bu could feel the entire city wall trembling slightly.
Without Liu Bei's order, a boulder had already fallen and smashed the ram to pieces. The ram soldiers dispersed in a hurry. Behind them, another ram was ready.
Liu Bei's expression changed. Rushing the car would cause huge damage to the city gate. If the situation develops like this, I'm afraid the city gate will be the first to be breached. Although Xuzhou's city gate is strong, it cannot withstand the rush of the car. This is not necessary.
The collision of lives.
With the advantage of being at a high place and the vigilance of the defenders, except for the first time, no other rushers have been able to get close to the city gate until now. The heavy rain of logs and rolling stones caused heavy losses to the rushers and they were defeated.
The soldiers whose legs were broken were wailing outside the city, looking helplessly at the falling boulders.
After continuous attacks, the walls of the city were already densely packed with corpses of Cao's soldiers. In such a siege, despite their high martial arts skills, they could only do nothing in the face of a sudden attack.
Cao's army, which was numerically superior, took turns attacking each other and did not give the defenders a chance to breathe. Even eating could only be done in the city.
It was getting late, the sound of ringing gold sounded, and Cao's army retreated like the tide, leaving corpses all over the ground.
After a day of siege, under the strict defense of the defenders, not a single soldier of Cao's army attacked the city. The most serious damage to the defenders was the archers of Cao's army. The archers on the well fence were definitely deadly.
, but the defenders were helpless about this. There was no long-range attack equipment. If there were a defensive weapon like a crossbow in the city, it would only take ten crossbows to make Cao's army pay a heavy price. However, the crossbow was a taboo for defending the city in this era.
Super weapons, the imperial court's control is extremely strict. Nowadays, I am afraid that only Chang'an City has such a sharp weapon.
The siege battle had a great impact on Lu Bu. If the Bingzhou Army wanted to fight abroad, it would inevitably encounter such a siege battle. How to reduce the losses of soldiers became a question for Lu Bu. Cao Jun's siege equipment should be better.
To put it simply, charging the car, which poses a huge threat to the city gate, is in vain once the defenders are prepared. Besides, if the defenders are forced into a hurry, the city gate can be completely sealed.
"Yes, what is missing is the equipment for long-range attacks." Lu Bu said to himself.
"Lord, what do you mean by long-range attack?" Guo Jia asked. Such a battle would have a relatively large impact on him. He was thinking more about how to attack the same city at the minimum cost.
"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just feeling something." Lu Bu said: "No wonder the siege of the city was ten times greater."
"My lord, the first step is to attack with troops, and the second is to attack friends. Sometimes a strategy can have unexpected results." Guo Jiadao.
Lu Bu nodded slightly. Guo Jia's words were very reasonable. Attacking a city would be much easier if there was a clever plan.
As a long-range attack device, Lu Bu suddenly thought of a catapult. If stones can be thrown up the city wall, the soldiers will have a greater chance of attacking the city wall with the help of ladders. Although the lethality of the stones is limited, it will not affect the defenders.
The psychological shadow caused is huge. Just imagine, hundreds of trebuchets are placed there, do the defenders on the city dare to raise their heads? I'm afraid there is no need to attack. The trebuchets have been deployed for two days in a row, and there is no need to attack the defenders.
can collapse.
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on Lu Bu's lips. If Bingzhou had been the first to develop this kind of thing, it would not be invincible when attacking and defending the city.
Of course, the research on bed crossbows cannot be slacked off. Old Man Cheng once made bed crossbows. Of course, the technology of bed crossbows is relatively complicated. It depends on the craftsmen's workshops in Jinyang. It may take a lot of time to develop it, and the trebuchet
In Lu Bu's opinion, it is simpler and more practical.
"Why is my lord laughing?" Guo Jia was confused. After coming down from the city, his lord's behavior became a little abnormal.
"Fengxiao, I thought of a good weapon..." Lu Bu explained the purpose of the trebuchet in a low voice.
Guo Jia's eyes flashed when he heard this. If Bingzhou could really develop such a sharp weapon, it would be much easier to attack the city. He couldn't help but said: "My lord is wise!"
Lu Bu proudly accepted Guo Jia's flattery, and then he couldn't wait to tell the Jinyang Craftsman's Workshop about his idea, so he found the paper and waited until late at night to explain the instrument. After sealing it carefully, he handed it over to the people in the city.
Flying eagle.
Fei Ying has been active in Xuzhou City, inquiring about all kinds of news. After all, the Mi family is going to follow him to Bingzhou. He must take into account any factors that threaten the Mi family in the city, especially the recent changes between the Chen family and the Mi family.
The Cao family keeps targeting the Mi family, so they need to be more vigilant.
At the same time in Yanzhou, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, received Lu Bu's reply and invited Chen Gong to discuss matters.
After reading Lu Bu's letter, Chen Gong said: "Lü Bu's ambition is not in Yanzhou. It is very valuable to be able to go to Xuzhou this time. It is also because we did not think carefully."
"In Gongtai, Cao Cao went against the grain and slaughtered civilians. There is a lot of dissatisfaction in Yanzhou. At this time, the main force of Cao's army is in Xuzhou and Yanzhou is empty. Why not contact Liu Biao of Jingzhou."
Chen Gong's eyes lit up. Although Jingzhou Liu Biao had no quarrel with Cao Cao before, Cao Cao clearly supported Liu Yu's succession to the throne, which already caused a rift.
"Now that Liu Yu is dead, Liu Biao is the one who will inherit the throne, and Liu Biao is well-known. If we contact him, he will definitely succeed," Chen Gong said.
After Liu Biao received the letter from Yanzhou, he was a little suspicious. After reading the content of the letter, he was overjoyed. Although he aimed to develop Jingzhou and live in one place, his heart changed after he was expected to inherit the unification.
, he was naturally dissatisfied with Cao Cao. At the beginning, Cao Cao supported Liu Yu from Youzhou.
