Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 2645: Xingyang City

There was no shortage of war horses under Lu Bu's rule, but many of the cavalry horses of Cao Jun and Jiangdong Army were purchased from Lu Bu, and they were consumed a lot.

After the cavalry gained the advantage on the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield was continuously communicated to the Chinese army. This absolute control of the situation on the battlefield gave Pound a feeling of comfort.

If the situation cannot be understood in time, it will be extremely difficult to achieve greater results in a war.

Obtain news on the battlefield and be able to respond in a timely manner according to changes in the situation.

Li Dian didn't understand the truth, but he couldn't tell the truth. The cavalry in the army was not as powerful as the Liangzhou cavalry, and it was also difficult to compare in quantity. In this case, what was the difference between letting the cavalry leave the city and sending them to death?

.

At this time, Li Dian wisely chose to stand still. No matter what methods you have on the battlefield, as long as I can firmly control the city in my hands, I can prevent you from advancing.

For half a month, the Liangzhou Army outside the city still did not launch an attack. This made the defenders on the city secretly relieved. The Liangzhou Army had broken through Chenggao too quickly before, and immediately sent cavalry to Chenggao after breaking through.

Outside Xingyang City, people feel overwhelmed.

Now it seems that it is impossible for the Liangzhou Army to break through Xingyang, and it is extremely difficult to even launch a decent attack on Xingyang. The defenders have an absolute advantage in numbers. In this case,

If the city can be captured by the enemy, it will be the greatest shame for the defenders.

The generals secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Dian did not relax his vigilance. Especially after the battle situation in Wancheng was reported to Li Dian, he became even more wary of the Jin army's siege methods. During the siege,

Being able to take advantage of the fierce fire oil to plunge the entire city wall into a sea of ​​flames is such a terrifying attack.

Even though the Liangzhou Army was at a numerical disadvantage, it was able to inflict a great shock on the defenders by relying on such methods.

As if sensing Li Dian's uneasiness, the Liangzhou army outside the city finally set up the Pili chariot outside the city, and the army directly dispatched 5,000 people to protect the safety of the Pili chariot.

This attack only used conventional means to attack the defenders on the city. Although the one-day siege cost the defenders more than a hundred people, it was still within the tolerance of the defenders.

After half a month, the weather became hotter and hotter, but the attack on the city by Pili Chariots did not stop. Although the Pili Chariots suppressed the defenders, the Liangzhou Army did not take action to fill in the moat. This situation made Li Dian

He was even more confused. Just relying on such an attack would cause limited damage to the defenders. The moat would be difficult to fill, and it would be even more difficult to break through the city.

Unless the Liangzhou army can attack Chenggao and have an internal response in the city, they can secretly open the city gate to welcome the Liangzhou army's entry into the city.

After the previous battles, it can be imagined that Li Dian attached great importance to the defense of the city gate. The Cao army in the city was more numerous than the Liangzhou army, but after the Liangzhou army entered the city, they wanted to drive the Liangzhou army out.

, but it is very difficult. Paying attention to the defense of the city gate has become an important matter.

The generals guarding the city gate were carefully selected by Li Dian, and the cavalry in the city were even more prepared to fight. As long as there was a situation at the city gate, they could be dispatched immediately to prevent the enemy from taking advantage.

He Kang led ten flying eagle soldiers to sneak into the city before the army arrived. Henan Yin was close to Chang'an, so it can be imagined that Lu Bu attached great importance to Henan Yin.

In Xingyang City, because of the Liangzhou Army outside the city, the price of rice grains has risen to twice the normal price, and it is getting higher and higher. After seeing this situation, the people in the city were panicked, and the enemy troops attacked the city.

During the process, it was impossible for them to leave the city. Moreover, there were a large number of cavalry active outside the city. Even if they left the city, it would be difficult for them to survive.

After the Liangzhou Army arrived, Li Dian directly ordered all city gates to be closed and no people were allowed to enter or exit, in order to ensure the stability of the city.

But this kind of stability is only for the defenders. The people who suffer the most are still the common people. The money and food they have saved with great difficulty are now gradually transferred to the pockets of the aristocratic families. Li Dian naturally understands the situation in the city.

There are only about 10,000 people in Xingyang City, even fewer than the defenders. The turmoil in Yin, Henan Province has made many people choose to leave, and the people in the city are mostly old and weak. They are unwilling to leave their hometowns and go elsewhere. Besides,

Even after leaving the city, it would be difficult for these old and weak people to survive in such troubled times.

There are two aristocratic families in Xingyang City. In the eyes of aristocratic families in some cities in Yanzhou, these two aristocratic families can only be called bigger families. Xingyang does not have much value in the eyes of the aristocratic families, but it fulfills these two needs.

A family.

During the war, the family was able to get a lot of benefits. The current war situation was not so severe for Cao Jun. Although Cheng Gao was lost, there were a large number of defenders in Xingyang City. With the power of the defenders, Liangzhou

It is basically impossible for the army to conquer Xingyang.

As for the life and death of the people at this time, it is not something that the aristocratic family can take into consideration. It is simply impossible to live a stable life in troubled times.

Of course, the aristocratic families in the city also know that the people do not have much money, and when they raise prices, they will not be as violent as in other prosperous cities.

Xingyang, when Luoyang was prosperous in the past, was also a prosperous city. However, now the city is gradually dilapidated. Many houses have collapsed due to disrepair, giving people the feeling of desolation.

The living conditions of the people are such that merchants do not have much living space in the city. However, there are two restaurants in the city. In the past, they were mostly used by passing merchants. Now that the war is coming, the passing merchants have disappeared. Only the sons of aristocratic families in the city will

Go to.

It is difficult for ordinary people to survive, let alone go to restaurants to eat and drink.

The owners of the two restaurants were backed by aristocratic families in the city. No one dared to cause trouble, and the two aristocratic families were not stupid people. After the enemy troops arrived, they sent a large amount of money.

Now, there are only a few customers in the two restaurants. They are businessmen who were trapped in the city by the sudden war.

After He Kang entered the city, he settled in the restaurant, nominally serving as the merchant's escort, and the two Flying Eagle soldiers acted as merchants.
