Chapter 233: Lu Bu Escapes
Zhao Qian did not hesitate, and took advantage of the situation to order the army to attack the city, wanting to take Luoyang City in one go. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, after all, Luoyang City, as the former national capital, has done a lot of fortifications, and the siege has entered the stage of stalemate.
Gao Shun and Zang Ba are both capable generals under Lu Bu's account, although there are not many soldiers under him, but relying on the Luoyang city wall, they still resisted Zhao Qian's attack for the time being.
Zhao Qian saw that the siege did not achieve any substantial results, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
Summoning the generals of all armies into his big tent, Zhao Qian discussed with everyone the strategy of breaking the city, because blindly attacking the city seemed to be useless except for increasing damage.
Su Huan thought for a while and said, "Lord, why don't you use a thunderbolt, you can't resist the power of the flying stone." ”
When Xu Rong heard this, his face changed, and he asked, "Could it be the thunderbolt car that broke through the tiger prison?" ”
Xu Rong, as a general under Dong Zhuo's account before, had heard about Zhao Qian's thunderbolt car breaking through the Tiger Prison Pass, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Su Huan mention it at this moment.
"It's the thunderbolt that broke through the tiger's prison." Su Huan nodded and said, "As soon as the thunderbolt came out, Lu Bujun was just a local chicken and a dog. ”
Looking at Su Huan's confident appearance, Zhao Qian smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Attacking Luoyang City is not as good as the Tiger Prison Pass, and you can't use a thunderbolt car." ”
"Why?" Su Huan asked with some puzzlement.
Zhao Qian sighed lightly and said: "The Tiger Prison is just a pass, which can be bombarded with a thunderbolt car, and in Luoyang City, there are still people, if a stone falls into the city and hurts the people, it is not what the general wants." ”
"General, for the sake of the world, how can you pity the small people? I agree to General Su's proposal to bombard Luoyang City with a thunderbolt! Han Xian said nonchalantly.
Zhao Qian frowned, and shouted: "You are now a general of the imperial court, not the leader of the Baibo bandits, everything should be put first by the people, how can you kill the people of the Han Dynasty in vain for a city!" ”
"The people are water, the court is a boat, who can carry the boat, can also capsize the boat!" Zhao Qian continued, "The former's court did not show compassion to the Li people, and the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was a lesson, can't it be used as a lesson? ”
These few sentences are very famous, because later Tang Taizong and Wei Zheng discussed, in fact, the earliest was the Warring States Period, Xunzi's view.
It is estimated that all the generals here, that is, Ma Chao and Su Huan, have heard that although Xu Chu is literate, he must not have read Xunzi's works, as for Han Xian and Li Le, they were originally bandits, and it is great to be able to read a word.
After listening to Zhao Qian's words, Ma Chao immediately got up and hugged his fists and said: "The general cherishes the people, we are not as good as waiting, but if you have a life, you will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire." ”
Zhao Qian smiled slightly, nodded silently, it seems that no matter what era, the attributes of this Holy Mother are very popular.
The most typical is Liu Bei, who relied on the heart of the Virgin Mary and the tears of sadness to break out of the world.
Zhao Qian nodded towards Ma Chao and said, "This general intends to use the strategy of exhausting the army and the strategy of opening up the net. ”
The generals looked at Zhao Qian, and seemed to be a little confused.
Zhao Qian smiled slightly, a little helpless, this time when he came out, he didn't bring a strategist, and he only had his own ideas when he encountered problems.
"My lord, why do you want to open the net? Do you want to let go of Na Lu Bu? Su Huan asked.
Zhao Qian laughed and said, "It's not to spare that Lu Bu, but to attack Luoyang on all sides, and only attack on three sides." ”
"Why only attack on three sides?" Han Xian didn't know why, while the others seemed to understand what Zhao Qian meant.
"Of course, it is to leave a glimmer of hope for Lu Bu, lest he be trapped in the beast and fight, and our army will increase the damage." Su Huan explained.
Zhao Qian nodded, and Xu Rong asked again: "Lord, what about the plan of the tired army?" ”
"The so-called strategy of the tired army is to constantly attack the city, so that Lu Bu's soldiers have no time to rest." Zhao Qian said.
"Won't our sergeants have no time to rest?" Li Le was puzzled, "It's useless!" ”
"Presumptuous!" Ma Chao shouted, "The general's plan has his own opinions, how can you question it?" ”
Zhao Qian smiled and said, "Meng Qi doesn't have to be like this, the second general Bai Bo can listen to my explanation." ”
After a pause, Zhao Qian continued: "The biggest advantage of our army is the number of people, so it can be divided into two groups, one group to attack the city, the other group to rest, and one rotation for half an hour, haha!" ”
As soon as Zhao Qian said this, all the generals understood, clasped their fists and said, "Please give the order of the general!" ”
Zhao Qian nodded, stood up, and said: "Xu Rong and Su Huan will attack the south gate, Han Xian and Li Le will attack the west gate, and Ma Chao and Xu Chu will attack the north gate." Take turns to attack, there must be no mistakes! ”
"Order!"
Several generals received orders to lead their respective troops and begin the siege of the city.
In the first round, Xu Rong, Han Xian, and Ma Chao attacked first; Then Su Huan, Li Le, and Xu Chu replaced the second round. And so on and so forth.
On the wall of Luoyang, Lu Bu's army began to get busy, Gao Shun and Zang Ba came to Lu Bu's side and reported: "Wen Hou, Zhao Qian's army is divided into three ways and has begun to attack the city. ”
Lu Bu snorted coldly and said: "What are you afraid of, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and you two will divide the troops to resist, there must be no mistake!" ”
Gao Shun and Zang Ba glanced at each other, and had to take the order, Gao Shun guarded the south gate, Zang Ba guarded the west gate, and Lu Bu personally guarded the north gate.
At the beginning of the siege battle, arrows rained down and flying stones fell, and at first the defenders still had a geographical advantage.
However, the siege battle did not stop from day to night, and the nerves of the soldiers defending the city did not relax for a moment, and many people could not stand up.
Gao Shun and Zang Ba tried their best to urge, and their voices were hoarse, but they didn't seem to have much to do, they were really too tired.
Lu Bu also saw that the general trend had gone, and if it continued like this, I was afraid that after a while, his sergeant would not even have the strength to raise his hand and surrender.
Lu Bu sighed, and couldn't help but recall his previous glory, his wife and daughter were separated, his subordinates died one by one, and the team became smaller and smaller, it was really a failure.
Looking at the soldiers of Zhao Qian, who were still struggling to attack the city outside the city wall, Lu Bu tightened the Fang Tian halberd in his hand, and said in his heart, with the green mountains here, he was not afraid of no firewood!
So, after Lu Bu looked at the sergeant who was already listless and just relied on instinct to release arrows to the city, he stepped on his red rabbit BMW, lifted his painting pole Fang Tianhalberd, and ran towards the east gate!
At this time, Zhao Qian, who was fighting outside the north gate, suddenly widened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.
Since the siege began, Zhao Qian had turned on the system radar of the Invincible Three Kingdoms system and locked on Lu Bu early.
Zhao Qian knew that Lu Bu, although he was an invincible general, he was also greedy for life and afraid of death, if he failed to defend the city, he would definitely escape.
Sure enough, as Zhao Qian expected, in the system radar, the red dot marked with Lu Bu was rushing towards the east gate!
