Chapter 1089: Decisive Battle of Chang'an (11)
Cao Bing retreated, and there was laughter and laughter in Chang'an City, so unhappy.
Although Chang'an is the capital of Chang'an, it has a large population. Before the big war came, Lu Yao mobilized NPCs to hide in the palace. He's a player, and he doesn't have the NPC mentality that forbidden places are forbidden to trespass. It's the same as Luoyang, and it can hide a large number of people, which has won the hearts of NPCs.
It can be said that before the war, Chang'an was left with the Zhuya army.
After repelling Cao Jun, Lu Yao held a feast to celebrate his success, and naturally he did not forget to send cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and other condolences to the NPCs in the palace.
Lu Yao tasted the tribute wine found from the palace, looked at the battle report carefully, and frowned inadvertently. Although the battle was won, the losses were not small.
It was not that the troops suffered heavy losses, the whole army suffered more than 100,000 casualties, most of which were used as bait to resist at the head of the city, attracting the attention of Cao's army, and facilitating his layout in the city. Compared to the two million troops brought in, it is not a bone-wrenching injury.
However, after this battle, the buildings of the Tibetan soldiers suffered heavy losses, and there were almost no intact buildings. Although this kind of building belongs to Chang'an, it is quite useful to cooperate with the Wanli Qiankun Array.
Looking at Cao Jun's casualties again, Lu Yao smiled helplessly.
In this battle, the Cao army suffered a total of more than 100,000 casualties, most of which were killed in the siege battle under the magic cannon and the rolling stones, but for the defenders, this was already a complete defeat.
The defenders of the city already occupied a favorable position, and the casualties were much lower than those of the besieging side, but the two sides were tied in this battle. This made him have to admit that the role of those demigod-level Cao generals in the city was beyond his expectations.
"Meng Qi should be the first to take the lead in this battle."
Lu Yao put down the battle report, raised the wine bottle, and smiled at Ma Chao. The rest of the generals raised their glasses and laughed and toasted Ma Chao. Today, Ma Chao can indeed be called the first contribution. If it weren't for Ma Chao to put out fires everywhere, I'm afraid that at least a few of the generals present would have hung up.
"Thank you Meng Qi for saving your life."
Zhang Jaw and the other three generals took the lead in coaxing, which caused the other generals to respond one after another, making Ma Chao's face red.
Ma Chao got up and raised the wine bottle, with a look of shame: "I don't dare to be ashamed, this is the master's clever calculation, so I helped him to set up this attack, and we should respect the lord." ”
"To the Lord."
Jia Xu took the lead in getting up, and saluted Lu Yao with a smile in the corner of his eyes. The rest of the generals laughed loudly and responded in unison, taking the lead in drinking the wine in the cup.
Lu Yao smiled, did not shirk, drank all the wine in the cup, and then ordered someone to escort Guo Jia and others, who were captured alive today, to the banquet. Seeing Guo Jia and other Cao generals coming, all the generals smiled and sat down one after another.
The best way to boost the morale of the army is to sacrifice prisoners and praise their merits.
Lu Yao's gaze swept over these captives, he was in a very good mood, and said silently in his heart: "Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Yang Xiu, Jiang Ji, Li Tong, Zang Ba, Liang Xi...... Oh, Ma Chao is shrewd and captured Cao Cao's five top strategists alive. ”
Needless to say, Cao Cao's number one military advisor, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Jiang Ji, and Yang Xiu are all top strategists who have left a name in history.
"Calculate carefully, there are three top strategists left on Cao Cao's side, Sima Yi, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai, but there are still many second-rate strategists." Lu Yao tilted up slightly, and couldn't help but bow to tears for Cao Cao.
In terms of military generals, he dug up all the five good generals plus Pang De, and in terms of strategists, he only dug up Jia Xu and Xun Yu before, but now, counting the top ten strategists under Cao Cao in history, two defected to him, and the other five became prisoners, and the remaining three were still on Cao Cao's side, which is really miserable.
"King Zhuya is in front of him, and he still doesn't kneel!"
Ma Chao saw that none of the captives such as Guo Jia knelt down, and he suddenly became angry, and he got up and was about to come out to force them to kneel, but was stopped by Lu Yao.
"This king is thirsty for talent, and he must not be rude."
Ma Chao gave up at this time, hugged his fist to Lu Yao, sat down again, looked at Guo Jia and the others with a sneer, and only waited for these captives to refuse to surrender before coming forward to cooperate with Lu Yao.
"King Zhuya has good means, and he is ashamed of himself."
Guo Jia looked up at Lu Yao, smiled faintly and lowered his head again, not saying whether he was willing to surrender or not, just praised Lu Yao. used the means of aliens to hide soldiers at the gate of the city, and he was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground.
Cheng Yu and the others didn't say a word, their expressions were firm, and they looked at Lu Yao coldly. This battle was lost and captured, although they were convinced, they did not think of surrendering to Zhu Ya.
At this time, Jia Xu sat on the seat and sighed: "You are all unworldly talents, don't you know that Cao Thief's anger has been exhausted?" The lord of my family is eloquent and strategic, and he chases the Central Plains in the barren land of Zhuya, and is supported by strangers, and the hearts of the people in the world belong to my lord. Why are you obsessed with helping my family master to set the Central Plains? ”
Li Tong and Liang Xi heard this, and their faces showed hesitation. Jia Xu's words made the two of them waver. After all, it is an indisputable fact that the edict of heaven appeared sharply before, depriving Cao Cao of his luck.
Compared with the king of Zhuya, who is in the middle of the day, Cao Cao can really be called exhausted. The reason for the hesitation is because Cao Cao currently has the advantage, and he may capture Chang'an City tomorrow. That's when it was embarrassing.
Except for the two of them, Guo Jia and the others were silent, and they did not waver at all, but just sneered and faced Lu Yao's gaze, obviously having a will to die, and would rather die than surrender.
Jia Xu twisted his beard and smiled, no longer persuaded to surrender, and focused his attention on Li Tong and Liang Xi, obviously already eyeing these two.
Lu Yao also saw that Li Tong and the others had been shaken, but he was not in a hurry to surrender, after all, Chang'an City was still in crisis, and surrendering at this time was only half the effort, not cost-effective.
"Rather, you do not want to surrender to this king. The king made a bet with you. Lu Yao stood up, walked in front of Guo Jia and the others, his eyes swept over their faces, and said with a faint smile: "If this king is defeated, it goes without saying." If Cao Cao defeats Chang'an, are you willing to serve this king? ”
Guo Jia and several people looked at each other, but no one said anything. However, Zang Ba couldn't be excited, and said proudly: "I will make a bet with King Zhuya." If the King of Wei defeats Chang'an, he will surrender. ”
Li Tong and Liang Xi hurriedly said in unison: "We are also willing to make a bet with the prince." ”
Hearing that Zang Ba and the three agreed to Lu Yao's gambling agreement, Guo Jia and the others smiled helplessly, but they didn't scold out loud. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, not to mention that Cao Cao was deprived of his luck by the Heavenly Edict, even if he surrendered to Lu Yao on the spot, no one could say anything.
"Come on, send you back to rest, don't be lazy." Seeing that Zang Ba and the three of them had agreed to the gambling contract, and there were also additional recruitment tasks on the task panel, Lu Yao smiled slightly, and ordered his subordinates to send Guo Jia and a few people back to watch them.
Lu Yao watched Guo Jia and the others being escorted down, returned to the table, and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow's battle will be a hard battle, everyone, please." "Let's take a deep look at it.
"The minister will serve the dead." Jia Xu was the first to get up and return the salute.
The rest of the generals got up one after another, hugged their fists and said, "The ministers will serve the death force." ”
