Chapter 111: The Baggage is Burned

"There is no need to be so nervous about the public station, this Fan County is just a medium county, and the city is not high or thick. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Even if they blocked the city gate, the ten catapults under Lu Mou's command were not vegetarians, and they directly destroyed their city gates, even if he had 20,000 elites, could he still block Lu's way forward? Lu Bu was not afraid, this was mainly his confidence in the catapult.

Along the way, five taels of catapults can be completely smashed open by two catapults, and it is a big deal to throw a few more times, and even the city wall will be smashed! Fan County is just a middle county, the city wall is not high or thick, it is a big deal to smash it a few more times!

"Maybe it should go further!" Han Leng stood up, "Attack from three sides, and the east gate will be smashed by catapults, so that it can't take care of both the end and the end!" It's best to knock Fan County down within today! ā€

"Isn't that too much of a hurry?" Chen Gong didn't deny this plan, but he felt that it was a bit too urgent, and the consumption was a bit too great, and it was a bit uncost-effective to attack a middle county.

Since ancient times, wars have been all about encircling three and missing one, and the purpose is to give the enemy a desire to live, so that they feel that they can't fight, they will flee. Surrounded on all sides like this, isn't this forcing the other party to fight hard with yourself? Lu Bu realized this and despised Han Leng even more.

"The enemies are all elites, and since they can sit in Fan County, instead of harassing our scouts like Gongsun Zhan, it means that they have to hold on to this county seat. In other words, they themselves are ready to defend this county seat, and the specific reason is not yet known, but the other party will definitely not surrender, even if they die to the last soldier, they will not surrender, I think it should not be wrong! Han Leng said his opinion.

Siege warfare in the feudal era was mainly a kind of psychological warfare, forcing the other side to surrender or flee. Or completely deplete the opponent's defensive weapons and even military rations. However, the latter one is a bit unreliable, after all, during the period of Wuhu Chaohua, it was almost common sense to eat people when the food was eaten.

The key is that Lu Bu didn't have so many moments to continue to wait, they simply calculated the military rations, the next batch of military rations will arrive, it will take at least ten days, and the key is that Gongsun Chan is there, and no one knows if this batch of grain can be stably delivered to the front line. As for the food in the headquarters, it can only last for less than ten days.

If you can quickly destroy the enemy through all-out siege warfare, then at least you can save a lot of time. The key is that if a group of people die, then the rate of food consumption can also be alleviated.

Lu Bu was completely out of control, and his constant victories made his self-confidence burst, thinking that there were no enemies in the world, let alone an army of 500,000 under his command, even if he swept the world, he would not be worried.

A large number of people is not necessarily useful, they are all a group of rabble, and if they consume so much food every day, they will one day be unlucky. Not to mention anything else, as long as the Republic of Dahan migrates the population to Guanzhong and directly plays the Chidi policy, then after more than ten days of no supplies, Lu Bu's army will inevitably collapse, and there is no need to even fight.

Originally, there should be a large number of people, and 500,000 people should be divided into 50 forces, which will directly sweep the world, and great things can be accomplished. The key is to make a completely violent revolution and constantly mobilize the local people to rebel, which will always achieve the goal.

It's just that Lu Bu not only began to allow the existence of 'pro-party families', but also attacked quickly without considering the issue of soldiers. At this stage, it is difficult to say, only 5,000 people have a political commissar, how can they ensure the conviction of the team? Not to mention that since the founding of the Liberal Party, in fact, there has been no ideological consolidation at all, and no party meetings have been held, everyone has different ideas, and even different interests, and the whole party has become a hodgepodge, and there are as many mountains as there are ......

It's no wonder that Chen Gong wants to use them all together, otherwise, let's not talk about whether he can control them. As far as the quality of the current soldiers is concerned, once they are separated, their combat effectiveness will inevitably be drastically reduced, and the key is that these non-commissioned officers are only initially inciting, and they have not yet carried out perfect political propaganda and ideological education, and they themselves are only fighting to keep a good life, but their thinking is not firm.

Once the pressure reaches a certain level, they will be afraid, they will retreat, and even overturn all previous ideas. In the final analysis, it is a group of repeated villains, and it has nothing to do with revolutionaries. Not to mention, there is also a group of children of the family fanning the flames there, who knows what the result will become.

Chen Gong also understood what Han Leng meant, thought about it carefully, nodded towards Lu Bu and said, "Good! ā€

In fact, Lu Bu did not completely lose his cool, he was just full of confidence, but he still had his own combat experience. These experiences have not been discarded because of this mindless mode of conquering cities.

He quickly figured out that the enemy was simply going to fight him, and it was almost impossible to pressure them to give up resistance. On the contrary, this means of attacking from all sides can better contain the enemy's combat effectiveness.

"Catapult ready! Zang Ba, Cheng Lian, Cao Xing obey orders! Lu Bu immediately gave an order.

"The subordinates are here!" The three of Zang Ba stepped forward.

"Each of you will bring 20,000 soldiers and 10,000 auxiliaries, and each of you will besiege a city wall!" Lu Bu gave an order, and along the way, the ladder or something was more or less prepared, enough for them to attack the city.

"Whoa!" Everyone knows that such a pure siege is definitely not as simple as directly smashing the city wall gate with a catapult and then killing it directly, but thinking that there are catapults here at the east gate to help, then their main responsibility is to attract the attention of the other party, so this task should not be too difficult, and naturally there is nothing to worry about.

The catapult began to try to throw stones, but there was no special gunner, and the landing point could not be calculated, so everyone also threw it indiscriminately according to experience, and the landing point was not uniform, some fell directly into the city, and some hit directly on the city tower, and only less than one stone bullet smashed on the city gate.

The city gate was not shaken at all, in other words, the troops of the Han Republic directly blocked the inside of the city gate. As for the stone bullets that smashed on the city wall, they only smashed a white mark, and according to the previous situation, at least they would be concave. The walls are odd and seem to be a little too strong.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why Liu Bei chose Fan County, this city wall was rebuilt just two years ago, with cement concrete, and even added bamboo bars for reinforcement. The Republic of Steel is not willing to waste so much, but after adding bamboo tendons, the city is indeed a lot stronger.

Similar to this city, there will be some counties near Sizhou, as long as the city wall is old, it will be rebuilt through cement concrete and bamboo reinforcement. This was Liu Hong's policy during his reign, and the purpose was to make these cities stronger.

Yanzhou and Sizhou are the key support states of this policy, and no one knows what it was for at first. But later Liu Xie was named the king of Chen Liu, coupled with the turmoil in the world today, some people guessed that this is one of the inheritances prepared by Liu Hong for Liu Xie, and another inheritance attached to it is more than a dozen national highways from Sizhou to Yanzhou, and there are even three wooden railway systems!

These measures have enabled Sizhou's materials to be transported to Yanzhou in a steady stream. The reverse is the same, Yanzhou can launch an attack on Sizhou as soon as possible, and follow-up supplies are also continuously supplied.

Liu Bei chose Fan County as the battle location, with the help of Fan County's city wall to resist is a goal, the key is this convenient transportation system, which can continuously transport materials and soldiers to the front line, if you really want to fight a war of attrition, you can also completely drag Lu Bu down!

The second time I threw a catapult, the damage was still very small, not that there was none, but in terms of this kind of catapult that could be easily moved, it was obviously not powerful enough. If you want to completely smash this kind of city wall, you don't need a heavy catapult to smash hundreds of catties of stone bullets directly, but I'm afraid the effect is not particularly obvious.

If you continue to smash like this, it is estimated that it will have an effect, but I am afraid that it will take a day and a night.

For the first time, modern construction technology and ancient engineering methods collided so closely, but the result was the triumph of modern technology. When there was no result in the third stone throwing, Lu Bu also gave up continuing to use the catapult to attack the city, and directly used the last cloud ladder, personally led an army of 30,000, and attacked the city with other troops on the three sides.

"On the top, tear down all the houses, whether it is wooden planks or masonry, as long as they can be used to defend the city, they will be demolished for me!" Zhu Jun was not a parallel import, and immediately ordered to defend the city.

The four walls are densely packed with soldiers, which also accounts for about 5,000 people, and the remaining 15,000 people are constantly passing the city defense equipment, and a large part of them are basically demolishing houses.

"Lord, Gongsun Chan has attacked the rear of our army again!" The battle lasted for thirty minutes, but Gao Shun, who had recovered and returned to the army, stepped forward to report.

During this time, Gongsun Chan came to harass them from time to time, basically killing their scout troops, and then directly harassing their baggage troops. However, when the main force was about to kill, they quickly left with the help of horsepower.

The horses of the Lu Bujun who fought for endurance were not their opponents, although their explosive power far exceeded that of the other party, but after a while, they couldn't catch up with the other party after killing a few people. Over time, although he was on guard, the other party was about to leave, and Lu Bu couldn't help the other party.

"Are they real?" Chen Gong asked suddenly.

They didn't retreat immediately, and Gao thought they were planning to come for real! But who knew that after the arrival of our main forces, the two sides simply fought for a while, and the other side ran away! At the moment our army is in pursuit! Gao Shun stepped forward and said, the pursuing troops are all cavalry, and they are not good at attacking cities, so at this stage, they mainly cover auxiliary troops and logistics troops.

"Don't chase too far, you'll be back soon!" Chen Gong felt that things were a little strange, but he didn't pay too much attention to them. The two main forces of the Han Republic are actually here, and there are not too many main forces fighting against the junta. Unless they transfer Han Sui's troops, but this will give Liu Wei a chance to take Guanzhong back.

But not long after the words fell, a cavalry unit came out brazenly, led by a bearded man, holding a horse lance with a serpentine head (Zhangba snake spear), desperately killing their siege weapons troops.

"Damn, that's their main purpose!" Seeing this, Chen Gong couldn't guess the other party's thoughts.

It's just that as soon as the words fell, Zhang Fei's troops under Liu Bei had directly entered the battle, and the clay pot in his hand was thrown out directly, but it was refined kerosene or gasoline or something, it turned out that the Han Republic had developed a simple petroleum fractionation technology, at least a mixture of kerosene, gasoline and diesel had been refined.

Not only the war and weapons, but even another infantry came out and threw torches or clay pots directly at their baggage troops, and suddenly there was a sea of fire, and everything was reduced to ashes in the flames. (To be continued.) )
