Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Vol 3 Chapter 396: stingy

After Pingcheng heard the news that the reinforcements had been killed and the entire army was wiped out, there was an uproar. The prisoners that Fazheng released back to boasted about the power of Zhentianlei, as if there were people in the Guanzhong army who could make thunderbolts. The Pingcheng defender was in awe.

Ma Chao did not immediately attack the city under Fazheng's instruction. Zhang Xiu brought people over the next day. Under Fazheng's arrangement, he entered the camp during the day and left at night, giving people the feeling that this was the main battlefield.

On the fifth day, Fazheng sent people to persuade him to surrender, the reinforcements were defeated, and the enemy troops grew in number. In addition, Fazheng offered good conditions, and the defender of Pingcheng finally decided to surrender.

The two thousand defenders of Pingcheng were captured and surrendered without fighting.

"Xiaozhi, what should I do with these soldiers?" Ma Chao looked at the soldiers and felt worried. These soldiers must not be used in the frontal battlefield. If they are really useful, they can even drag down the whole team.

Fazheng selected two generals who were prudent in nature. As the defenders of Pingcheng, he transferred the generals of the Pingcheng army to his side as staff advisors, and then selected new generals from the Pingcheng defenders to be responsible for governing the army and instructed the new generals. The commander must not stimulate these soldiers, and properly manage the army.

As a result, the commander of the surrendered army was replaced, and the new generals in the army were all selected by the Guanzhong army. Let’s not say that they are completely devoted to Guanzhong, but if they return to the Yuan army, they will belong to the rebel army to the Yuan army, and they can only do their best. It may help the main general to govern the army, not to mention how useful it will be, but at least on the premise of undefeated here, there will be no random chaos.

"In this way, isn't the rear of our army guarded by these people?" Ma Chao was a little worried. When he thought that the rear was guarded by the surrendered army, he felt that the food route might be cut off at any time.

"Generals want to fight quickly. This is the best method." Fazheng didn't kill those surrendered generals. Who knows if the surrendered army in the city has their henchmen?

Quick fight?

Ma Chao nodded. With the method of Fazheng, there is no need to worry about the prisoners for the time being. This time, Zhang Xiu and Fazheng are in charge of the rear, and Ma Chao is in charge of the fight.

During this period of time, Fa Zheng can also see that the son-in-law of the lord is very capable, and the most important thing is that he is quite calm. In the frontal battlefield, he does not need to worry too much, but in the rear, he has to talk to Zhang Xiu at any time. Communicate, so that problems can be dealt with in a timely manner. In addition, if Ma Chao needs support, there is also a replacement here.

Ma Chao replenished 3,000 soldiers and horses. In this expedition, in addition to the 3,000 elite cavalry, he also brought his clan brother Ma Dai to accompany the army. After bidding farewell to Fazheng, he took Ma Dai and led the 3,000 elite cavalry. Go to Gao Liucheng.

The soldiers and horses sent to support Pingcheng were defeated, and the soldiers and soldiers of Pingcheng surrendered directly, which made Gao Gan very angry, but after losing two consecutive battles, nearly half of his 10,000 soldiers and horses were gone, how could he dare to go out of the city to fight. ?

Ma Chao led his troops straight to the foot of Gaoliu City, and looked at Gao Liu City, where the gates were closed.

"Brother, the bandit army doesn't want to leave the city, how will we fight this battle?" Ma Dai frowned slightly after seeing the city's defense. They were all cavalry, and attacking the city was not easy.

"Go and get a Thor crossbow." Ma Chao naturally knew that it was impossible for cavalry to attack the city.

Although he has used it before, he doesn't know how effective this Thunder God crossbow is in sieging cities. His stingy father-in-law has only equipped himself with a hundred Thunder God Crossbows and only a thousand Thunder God Arrows. If the effect is average, he would rather find another way. Break the city.

Soon, a Thor crossbow was handed over to Ma Chao, and someone handed a Thor Arrow. Ma Chao wound the Thor Arrow and ignited the lead, but he didn't aim carefully, and pulled the machine in the direction of the city.

But seeing the Thunder God's arrow swaying and flying out, there is no crosshair, which is also the reason why Ma Chao didn't aim.

In mid-air, the Thunder God's Arrow seemed to have exhausted its strength after flying thirty paces. Just as the defenders were laughing at it, a burst of fire suddenly spewed from the Thunder God's Arrow, and then the Thunder God's Arrow suddenly accelerated, appearing at the front of the city almost instantly. superior.

"Boom~"

In a burst of fire, the Thor's arrow exploded the moment it hit the parapet, and half of the parapet broke down with a bang, and the defenders behind the parapet were directly smashed to death by the parapet.

There was silence on the city wall for a while. Although only one person was killed by this arrow, the power of Thor's arrow was terrifying.

Ma Chao had already seen the power of Thor's Arrow. Looking at the half of the parapet wall that had been blown up, he felt a little confident in his heart. He immediately looked at Ma Dai and said, "In a group of nine, shoot an arrow in the direction of the city gate in turn!"

There are not many Thor's arrows, Ma Chao is about to use it when he encounters the main force of Yuan Jun, and it is not easy to use a hundred arrows at this moment.

"Here!" Ma Dai agreed, and immediately ordered the others to unload the Thor Crossbow to assemble the Thor Arrows, and divided them into eleven groups of nine people, who took turns to shoot arrows in the direction of the city gate.

In the first row, try to shoot the arrows in the direction of the city gate. When the arrows are about to run out in the air, they suddenly accelerate. Some penetrate the city wall, and some hit the city gate, but the probability of hitting the city gate is not high, obviously It aimed at the city gate, but only two arrows actually hit the city gate. One of them even floated to the city wall, and the defenders on the bombed city wall did not dare to raise their heads.

Boom boom boom~

For a time, near the city gate, the city wall around the city gate was bombed with holes. Standing on the city wall, you could clearly feel the shaking of the city wall, as if the city wall was about to collapse in the next moment.

Unfortunately, after eleven rounds, the city gate was not broken, which was also expected by Ma Chao. The Thunder God Crossbow was originally used by the two armies in front of the battle. The best way to break the city should be the Vulcan Cannon.

"Quick, go and blow up the city gate!" Seeing the smoke and dust outside the city wall being blown up, it was hard to see for a while, and the soldiers who were ready to detonate the thunder followed Ma Chao's order and flew out and quickly rushed to the city gate. , put the detonating thunder into the cracks of the city gate or directly into the pothole blasted by the thunder god's arrow to ignite, and then quickly retreat.

"Boom boom boom~"

After the smoke cleared away, he saw that the enemy troops were touching under the city wall, and Gao Gan was about to order an arrow to be fired, when suddenly there was a series of explosions, and the entire city wall shook again.

This time, the explosion was very concentrated, and the city wall shook more violently. Gao Gan leaned against the city tower and squatted down to stabilize his figure, but he saw that the bluestone under his feet was visible to the naked eye. There were traces of cracks, and there were many more. The place collapsed.

Although Gaoliucheng is the county seat of the county, it is covered with a layer of stone bricks and the interior is still a rammed earth structure. In the event of such an explosion, even if it is not directly hit, the dozens of detonating mines are detonated at the same time. Still can let some weak points collapse.

However, what was even worse was that as the strong vibration disappeared, a dull sound made Gao Gan feel a little cold in his heart.

"Crack~squeak~boom~"

"General, the big thing is bad, the city gate has collapsed!"

The frightened voices of the soldiers were faintly heard from the bottom of the city. In the violent explosion, the entire city gate was directly blown away from the city wall. With a dull sound, the city gate collapsed.

What the **** is that! ?

"Hurry down to the city to form a battle, and never let the enemy enter the city!"

Gao Gan gritted his teeth and scolded, then quickly ran down the city with his gun in hand. This was definitely the fastest city defense battle ever broken, and also the most embarrassing defending city battle. None of the attacking parties died. Not only were the gates broken, but several died.

This casualty ratio is purely reversed, and more importantly, the city where he garrisoned 5,000 people was now broken by the enemy with 3,000 cavalry troops. Can definitely be called the most shameful general in the world!

Whether it is to block the attack of the Guanzhong Army or to restore his own reputation, high officials must stop Ma Chao. In street battles, cavalry cannot compare to infantry!

"Bo Zhan, you bring two thousand horses off the horse into the city, try to avoid the fire!" Ma Chao looked at Ma Dai and said that his three thousand elite riders were all wearing rattan armor. If they caught fire, they would definitely die.

"Here!" Ma Dai agreed, and two thousand soldiers quickly dismounted, armed with rattan shields, and followed Ma Dai into the city.

As soon as he entered the city, a rain of arrows came in front of him. Ma Dai hurriedly retreated. There were two soldiers holding vine shields in front of Ma Dai. Unscathed.

Immediately afterward, the officers and soldiers in Guan Zhong quickly fought back with a crossbow.

Yuan Jun's wooden shield is obviously not as good as Guanzhong's rattan shield, and Yuan Jun doesn't have armor. Compared with the Guanzhong elite who wear rattan armor, the armor alone is much worse.

The two sides shot at each other with continuous crossbows, and the Guanzhong elites were not damaged, but Yuan Jun suffered heavy casualties and was gradually suppressed.

Seeing this scene, Gao Gan was a little unacceptable~www.readwn.com~ Even if the opponent was wearing iron armor, he could not be unscathed, but the rattan armor and rattan shield alone could block the continuous crossbow shooting.

Looking at the enemy army that was gradually oppressing him, Gao Gan knew that he had lost this battle, not because he was incompetent, but the weapon in the opponent's hand was too terrifying, and this rattan armor was invulnerable, even the entire army had it.

The heavy casualties are not terrifying. What is terrifying is that the opponent has still had no casualties until now. The sense of desperation that they can't damage the opponent in the slightest is the root cause of the complete collapse of morale.

The high cadre withdrew, he was not afraid of death, but he couldn't do such a meaningless death sentence. Those who had the same idea as him, and the defenders in the city, quickly withdrew to the east of the city, opened the city gate, and fled in embarrassment. At this point, Gao Liucheng was also breached, and it also represented that the main force of the Yuan army in the entire Dai County was destroyed by Ma Chao.

This time, Ma Chao did not pursue, and quickly confiscated the weapons of the descending soldiers in the city.

After years of training in benevolence and morality, Guan Zhongjun's concept of not moving people's property has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In addition to the serious supervision of Ma Chao and Ma Dai, there is no such thing as killing people after breaking the city, and the people did not do much when they saw this. After resisting, after Ma Chao stabilized the situation in the city, he quickly ordered someone to inform Fazheng and let him take over the city. He was going to continue the pursuit, looking for Yuan Jun's main force in Youzhou to destroy...
