Using Zhuojun as bait, Yuan Shao's army was mobilized to come to the rescue, but this was almost a competition of strength between the two sides. According to the analysis of common sense, this is indeed the case, Lu Peng competes with Yuan Shao, who has three and a half states, with the strength of half a state, which is definitely looking for death.

But that's fine, since you don't come to attack me, I don't bother to fight with you, let's just consume it.

As a result, when the three of Lu Jiaye were about to confront Lu Peng, a soldier hurriedly ran in to report: "Enlighten the generals, the enemy has erected a large number of catapults outside the city, preparing to bombard our city walls. ”

At that time, the three of them were shocked, and hurriedly climbed to the top of the city again to watch, and this look couldn't help but stand on end. Just outside the city, I saw a dense catapult that seemed to grow out of the ground overnight, like a sorghum field, which made people look frightened.

Catapults are a siege weapon, but this thing is too bulky, and it requires a lot of materials, it is not easy to build, and there are more operators used. However, how did Lu Peng build so many catapults overnight, and another point, if calculated according to the number of 100 soldiers operated by each catapult, looking at it, there are 5oo trebuchets in this area, but a full 50,000 troops are needed, then, Lu Peng's troops this time are not the so-called 30,000 horses that were detected in advance, but 80,000 to 1o thousand.

Thinking of this number, the three of them broke out in a cold sweat at that time, and their 10,000 horses resisted Lu Peng's 1o million army, if they wanted to hold Zhuo County, it was definitely an impossible task.

"Hurry up, hurry up and write a document asking for help, and ask the lord for help." Lu Kuang couldn't sit still, and anxiously commanded loudly.

And at this time, the catapult array on the opposite side suddenly burst into an earth-shattering loud sound, and countless black stone bullets smashed overwhelmingly.

Although the accuracy of the catapult is not good, but it can't stand much, 5oo stone bullets are overwhelmingly smashed down, and the entire city wall is smashed, and the city head is full of rubble for a while, and the soldiers scream and wail and hug their heads and run away.

The three fathers and sons of the Lu family were lucky, they jumped off the city wall directly for the first time, although there was excellent cotton armor protection, the slope of the inner city was very large, but the three of them still fell to the bones and broken tendons, but fortunately there was no worry about their lives, and they even crawled and hid in the dead corner under the root of the city wall, and then looked at the stone bullets that kept flying in the sky in fear, and the city wall was smashed with a loud bang, and the houses in the city collapsed.

Suddenly, the world was quiet, the first round of stone bombs was over, and the three fathers and sons of the Lu family couldn't help but let out a long breath, limping out of the wall, ready to count their injuries.

As a result, in less than a quarter of an hour, the heavens and the earth were dark again, and at the top of the city, amid the exclamations of those soldiers who had survived, another batch of stone bullets fell from the sky.

"It doesn't make sense, to continue the strike so quickly, does the enemy have a thousand catapults?" Lu Kuang was almost driven crazy by such a thing, and made a judgment that even he couldn't believe.

Fortunately, after this batch of stone bullets fell, the other party did not shoot again, climbed to the head of the city with difficulty, and felt that the eyes suddenly opened up, the reason for this is that the female wall on the city wall has been swept away, it seems that the entire city wall is half short, and the stones and tiles are everywhere, there, you can see the stumps of the soldiers defending the city everywhere, and what is even more terrifying is that this section of the city wall is bombarded by stone bullets everywhere, if the enemy is willing, just like this, it is bombarding three rounds and five rounds, this section of the city wall will collapse.

At this time, the three fathers and sons of the Lu family can be regarded as having learned the methods of Lu Peng's own family, and they still want to use 10,000 horses to block them from climbing the city and attacking, which is simply a fool's dream, as long as people use trebuchets to bomb layer by layer, it will not take a day or two to change hands in Zhuo County.

"Hurry up, hurry up and send another team of dead soldiers out of the city to ask the lord for help."

Seeing the two groups of enemies who asked for help rushing out of the city gate, the Lu family army did not stop them, and let them go away with joy in their hearts.

When he got this information, Lu Peng waved his hand and told the catapults: "Everyone, stop, and then wash and sleep." He returned to his tent bored, and was ready to wash and sleep.

It's not because Lu Peng is too dragging out, because from now on, he only needs to besiege the city and prepare to meet Yuan Shao's reinforcements.

Reinforcements are coming in a blink of an eye? With such thoughts, you should save it.

What era is this? This is the era when communication is basically roaring, transportation is basically walking, everything is slow-paced, Yuan Shao received the news of his attack on Zhuo County, even if he doesn't pull off, with the fastest degree of rectification of the army, raise grain and grass, capture the people, without ten days and a half months, it is impossible to complete the task at all, and then according to the normal marching degree, the distance of thirty or forty miles a day, when Yuan Shao's reinforcements climbed here from Yizhou, there is no half a month and a half that is not to think about it, so what can you do? Only wash and sleep.

In the midst of this boredom, ten days later, he finally received the news from the Jinyi Guard, Yuan Shao dispatched 50,000 troops with Yuan Shang as the commander, known as 1o thousand, and he had already killed it violently.

Of the actual 50,000 troops, there are only 20,000 real soldiers, and the remaining 30,000 are all captured people.

"Yuan Shao, this old guy really underestimated me too much, and he came to deal with me with 20,000 horses, which made me lose face." Holding the information in his hand, Lu Peng complained: "However, this grasshopper leg is also meat, 20,000 is 20,000, we will annihilate him and consume him little by little." ”

Attacking the enemy's reinforcements, of course, Lu Peng couldn't do it himself, because in this army, he still had a main force in his hands - that is, Zhao Yun's 20,000 cavalry.

Since there is a stirrup, the success of the cavalry has increased exponentially, as long as a person who can ride a horse, it is easy to control the war horse, so that it has become possible to equip the cavalry on a large scale, and now, the 20,000 cavalry under Zhao Yun is lacking the experience of killing the enemy in battle.

Xu Jie pulled Zhao Yun over, gave him guidance on a map, and gave him advice: "Between Fanyang and Zhuoxian, there is a dangerous terrain, and the four generals can set up a position here, block the enemy here first, and then surprise the enemy, and raid the enemy in the rear, and decide the outcome of a battle." ”

Zhao Yun looked at the map carefully, but his eyes looked away.

Lu Peng grabbed Xu Jie: "This is the first time that my fourth brother has led the troops alone, you don't want your mother-in-law and mother-in-law, just let him take charge of it, how to arrange the troops, and leave it all to him to deal with freely." In fact, the 20,000 cavalry in his hands, facing the enemy's 20,000 infantry, no matter how he fights, there should be no suspense and danger, so let him do it. ”

Zhao Yun was inexplicably moved by Lu Peng's trust, straightened his body and arched his hand: "Since the lord trusts me so much, please equip me with military rations for 4 days, and within 4 days, my subordinates will definitely dedicate Yuan Shang's head to the lord's account." ”
