Chapter 450, Lu Yuan parted ways
Historically, war has always been the king of strength, and it is true that defeating the strong with the weak can go down in history, but the problem reflected is indeed the lack of strength, and after success, it can only continue to be on the defensive. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Feng's 2 million army besieged the city, and Dantu had 1.45 million soldiers and horses from Wu County, of course, this is not a strange force, at the beginning, the number of ranger players and lord armies gathered in Dantu City exceeded the number of aborigines, but as the war continued, more and more players couldn't stand Liu Feng's way of besieging but not attacking, and kept leaving.
Of course, players can withdraw at any time, as long as they commit suicide with losses and leave, but the army led by the lord players who were stationed in the Dantu before can't leave, even if these lord players have nothing to do in the city, they can only go up to the city wall to monitor Liu Feng's movements every day under the command of the aborigines, and lose some men and horses under the tentative attack of Liu Feng's army. Up to now, there are only six or seven hundred thousand troops in Dantu City, which not only delays the development of the territory, but also fails to make meritorious contributions in the war and be compensated. For Liu Feng, they are itchy with hatred, but they are helpless. Just like before, the Aoshi Guild spent money to invite so many players to fight against Liu Feng, but there are not many who can hold on to it until now.
Although the lord player regrets entering the city, if they are given another chance, it is estimated that most people will still choose this way, because the siege is too long, and most of the time both sides are only small-scale temptations, so Xun You will often divide a part of the soldiers and horses, hand over a few generals, and go first to subdue other territories in Dantu County - including the cities of the player's aborigines.
Half a year later, there are really not many territories outside Dantu County, and several township pavilions in Dantu have been patronized by Liu Fengjun, some of them swore to resist to the death when the army arrived, and then they were breached, and some surrendered directly, but no matter what, the surviving soldiers were directly absorbed by Liu Feng, and then became cannon fodder for attacking Dantu.
The aborigines are like this, and the player's territory is no exception, Liu Feng is not polite at all this time, and if he consumes a little more of the army in Dantu City, he will lose less when he breaks the city in the future. Although for Jiangdong, which is seriously underpopulated, those soldiers who died are definitely a valuable asset, but now, Wu County is not his territory, so he can only give up.
When Liu Feng left to go to Lujiang a few days ago, in addition to the 2 million troops he brought, there were hundreds of thousands of newly surrendered troops.
Thinking of this, Liu Feng asked, "Could it be that we have a lot of more troops, so Gongda is so confident?" ”
"That's not it, it's been quiet for half a year, and there's nothing to be reminded of." Xun You replied, "But after half a year of siege, the people in the city have long been panicked, and it is impossible to transport supplies on a large scale, and there has already been a famine in Dantu County, causing riots. In addition, the news of Lu Kang's death came to the city, and the forces of the Lu family had no intention of fighting, which were all favorable conditions for us. In addition, the medium-sized trebuchets transported from San'in have also been delivered, and after half a year of tentative attacks, the weak links of the Dantu city wall are under our grasp, and it is easy to blast open the gap and enter the city. ”
"The medium-sized trebuchet has arrived, and that's good news." Liu Feng said happily.
"Yes, 50 medium-sized trebuchets are enough for the Dantu. Now carry out a general attack, a quick battle, and take this place before the Inhumans enter the Dantu on a large scale, and establish the advantage of Wu County in one fell swoop, and block the water army of Wu County from the land. Xun Yu continued.
"Do you have any hole cards?" Liu Feng asked again.
"What's more, in the past six months, the number of our elite troops has reached 380,000, and it is only these Dantu, regardless of other places, even if there is no such advantage as just mentioned but a strong attack, it is enough to lay the victory." Xun You's tone was very confident.
"380,000? Make no mistake, right? Although he knew that it was true, Liu Feng's tone was still skeptical.
"You can't go wrong, and it's still growing." Xun You replied affirmatively, "In fact, if Bai Duwei trains with peace of mind, he can train more than 100,000 people in more than a year, but Bai Duwei has too many things to continue, which causes the soldiers to be unable to advance." In fact, many soldiers have reached the critical point, just about to kick the door, this half a year, under the leadership of Captain Baidu, continue to carry out actual combat, and finally come to the time of harvest, I believe that there will be more and more soldiers to advance, and those who cannot advance must be recruited or surrendered. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up, I can't wait." Liu Feng, who learned the truth, was even more excited than Xun You.
Staying here for more than half a year, he was really tired of it.
The next day, 50 medium-sized trebuchets and numerous small trebuchets were concentrated in the western city of Dantu and began to bombard, with a large army preparing to attack the city in front and behind. In the north, hundreds of thousands of troops are always watching, strictly preventing reinforcements from coming from the Yangtze River.
……
When Liu Feng was preparing to break the city, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, who were in Shu County, finally fell out and began to part ways. Of course, they wouldn't say that to the outside world, but Yuan Shu went north to Yanzhou, and Lu Bu, as the vanguard, led the troops to Chen Liu.
When Yuan Shu chose to open up outward, he had two choices, Xuzhou in the east and Yanzhou in the north. After struggling for a long time, Yuan Shu still chose to go north despite Yan Xiang's opposition. In his heart, he always wanted to compete with Yuan Shao, and use facts to prove his uncle that his perception of himself was wrong, even if Yuan Kui had already died.
At this moment, on the pipeline leading from Chen to Yanzhou Chenliu, Lu Bu was moving forward with the army, followed by the larger Yuan Shu army.
In terms of numbers, Lü Bu's army was only about one million, which was still thanks to Yuan Shu's blessing of allowing him to recruit troops in Lujiang - this was also a quid pro quo between Lü Bu and Yuan Shu. With Liu Feng greeting left and right, they are very clear about each other's bottom line, so that two cautious people will not collapse. Of course, Lu Bu's conscription will not implement the principle of voluntariness like Liu Feng, but forcibly recruit, which will cause the entire Lujiang people to boil, of course, he still has to pay for the recruitment, even if it is an aborigine, he can't go against it. As for the fact that doing so would weaken Yuan Shu's ruling base here, it was not in his consideration.
"Lord, do we really want to help Yuan Shu fight Yanzhou?" Among the Chinese army, Gao Shun took advantage of his leisure to ask Lu Budao.
"The strength is not good, what can I do about it!" Lu Bu sighed.
"But even if we defeat Chen Liu, I'm afraid we will be like Lujiang, and Yuan Shu was cheapened for nothing, although what he said sounded good, he would hand it over to the lord after this defeat." Gao Shun reminded.
"I also know what you said, but if we don't leave, I'm afraid Yuan Highway will really strangle us in his territory." Lu Bu said helplessly, "Now we have too few choices, so we can only send people under the fence." Later, you will still rectify the military discipline, you can't leave it alone like before, this time to fight Chen Liu, we don't want to work too hard, preserve the strength first, and wait until the opportunity to seize a piece of our own territory.
