Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

However, the elite level of the Jiangdong Army cannot be matched by the soldiers of the Yizhou Army. They have experienced many battles and are more tenacious when facing the enemy. Besides, although the power of the Thunderbolt Chariot attack is great, it is really

The damage caused to the defenders was not great. As long as the soldiers in the army defended carefully, it would be impossible to defeat the Jiangdong Army just by relying on the Thunderbolt Chariot.

Inspired by the fierce fire oil on the Yizhou battlefield, Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to collect oil and prepare to attack with fire. However, there was a big gap between ordinary oil and fierce fire oil. When it landed, the oil could not achieve what Cao Cao wanted.

The desired result is that the burning speed is not fast, giving the defenders more time to evade.

However, the attack of the Thunderbolt vehicle combined with the oil did cause a lot of trouble for the defenders. However, the consumption was not small. The speed of collecting oil and the speed of the Thunderbolt vehicle attack were not balanced at all. This also resulted in the only way to use fire attack.

It's over for now.

When Cao's army first attacked the city, Zhou Yu did not order the soldiers to move out, but only to defend. Although the generals of Jiangdong Army were dissatisfied with such an order, Zhou Yu was the chief general of the army and had absolute authority in the army.

authority.

"Lord, there are nearly 50,000 enemy troops in the city. Although our army has 100,000 troops, it is not an easy task to defeat Jiangxia in a short time, unless our army can possess the offensive means of King Jin."

Xun You said.

Cao Cao was silent after hearing this. Lu Bu has always shown strong military power in front of the princes. This was the case when the princes jointly attacked Bingzhou, and it is also the case now. The strength of the princes is steadily improving, and Lu Bu is also making progress. Want to

It is extremely difficult to suppress Lu Bu in terms of military strength or equipment.

The fierce fire oil, combined with the thunder chariot, the fairy mirror, and the powerful crossbow army in the Chang'an army, are all invincible existences on the battlefield.

"If our army can obtain the Immortal Mirror, it will have a great impact on the war." Cao Cao sighed.

Cheng Yu said: "The King of Jin has extremely tight defense on the matter of the Immortal Mirror. Only important generals in the army will possess it. It will take a certain amount of time to obtain the Immortal Mirror."

As the person in charge of intelligence in Cao's army, Cheng Yu is confident that he can obtain the Immortal Mirror. Over the years, he has arranged a lot of secrets among Lu Bu's army. If these secrets work at the critical moment, they can

Played a big role.

It is no longer a secret to arrange secret agents in the armies of other princes. If you want to control the enemy's situation to a greater extent, detailed operations are inevitable.

"Zhongde should be more worried at this time," Cao Cao said.

Lu Bu's army and the counselors in the army are terrible, and Cao Cao's counselors and generals are not weak either. As long as he can drive Jiangdong Army from the battlefield in Jingzhou, his strength will definitely be improved to a greater extent after recuperation.

, at this point, Cao Cao has sufficient confidence.

Although the resistance of Jiangdong Army in Jiangxia is tenacious, it will not be good for Jiangdong Army if the war lasts for a long time. Jiangdong experienced Sun Ce's death and Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong for a short time, and there are many aristocratic families in Jiangdong who are loyal to Cao Cao.

If you want to completely capture Jingzhou, what you must do is to conquer Xiling. As long as Xiling is still in the hands of Jiangdong Army, Cao Cao does not have complete control over Jingzhou. The war has reached the current stage, and Cao Jun and Jiangdong Army have reached a point where they will fight to the death.

At a point where there is absolutely no possibility of retreat, Xiling must be conquered.

However, Zhou Yu showed strength far beyond Cao Cao's expectations when commanding the battle. He strategized in Xiling City. Although Cao Cao's attack was very powerful, it was difficult to achieve a real victory on the battlefield. Cao Cao's army attacking the city was covered by thunderbolt chariots.

, although the damage on the battlefield was not large, it did not cause much harm to Jiangdong Army.

If he wanted to achieve greater success in the siege, the most important thing was for Cao's army to attack the city and engage Jiangdong's army in close combat.

Cao Cao very much hoped that the Jiangdong Army would be like the Yizhou Army and choose a decisive battle when the war was most difficult. This would be of great benefit to Cao Cao's army. However, how could Zhou Yu let Cao Cao have his way? His purpose was to delay Cao's attack.

Cao Cao was worried that the war in Yizhou would end too quickly and affect Cao Jun's war in Jingzhou. Zhou Yu wanted Liu Bei to be defeated as soon as possible. In this case, Jiangdong would definitely be able to receive reinforcements from Chang'an.

Even if Lu Bu is unwilling to send troops, he only needs to make a containment posture to make it difficult for Cao Cao to care about him. Although Nanyang County is guarded by Xia Houyuan with tens of thousands of troops, it seems a bit weak in front of the Chang'an army.

"My lord, according to the current situation, we only need to gradually fill in the moat to break through Jiangxia and allow Jiangdong's army to withdraw from Jingzhou." Xun You said, the enemy army cannot hold out, and there is food and grass in Xiling to support the army to continue fighting, thinking

It is very difficult to get Jiangdong's army to abandon Xiling.

Cao Cao nodded. The eliteness of the Jiangdong Army was not comparable to that of the Yizhou Army. When Sun Ce was here, he attached great importance to the combat effectiveness of the army. Although Sun Ce died unexpectedly, the Jiangdong Army was still extremely elite, and there was Zhou Yu in the Jiangdong Army.

For such a powerful figure, looking at Jiangdong, no one can compare with Zhou Yu who has such influence in the army. This is also the main topic between Zhou Yu and Sun Quan in Jiangdong. As long as Sun Quan is afraid of Zhou Yu,

If Zhou Yu is dispatched to return to Jiangdong, the war situation will become clearer.

"I do have a force of assassins under my tent. If we can sneak into the city and kill Zhou Yu, it will be easy to conquer Xiling." Cao Cao said.

Xun You and Cheng Yu agreed that the current war in Jingzhou was in a stalemate. If the stalemate could not be broken, Cao's army would pay a greater price, which would be extremely detrimental to future wars. They could only pay a smaller price on the battlefield in Jingzhou.

Only then can we not be at a disadvantage when fighting Lu Bu in the future.

It can be seen from Lu Bu's behavior over the years that Lu Bu has gradually embarked on the road of becoming king and hegemony. Among the princes today, only Cao Cao can restrain Lu Bu. Only Cao Jun can influence Lu Bu. This is also an official of Xudu

The reason for supporting Cao Cao is that although they do whatever it takes to benefit the family, they can still see clearly when faced with big issues. The family has no way to survive under Lu Bu's rule. They can only gain more by supporting Cao Cao and letting Cao Cao defeat Lu Bu.

Lots of stuff.

As long as Xu Du's court can be revitalized in their hands, the family will gain not only profits, but also reputation.
