Chapter 522: Co-optation

"Difficult! It's really hard! Liu Zhang wanted Hanzhong to think for a long time, and sent troops to attack Zhang Lu several times, the most of which brought 250,000 horses, but was beaten by Zhang Lu's 70,000 soldiers and horses to lose their armor and flee in the wilderness. ”

"Liu Bei and Cao Cao are also very fond of the land of Hanzhong, if Liu Bei gets Hanzhong, he can directly take the city of King Wei in advance, and retreat can resist Cao Cao's army in Hanzhong. And if Cao Cao takes Hanzhong, it is equivalent to choking the throat of Shudi, so that Liu Bei has no possibility of attacking Cao Wei at all. ”

"You think, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are not stupid, such a good military place, they are not willing to send troops to attack easily, there must be their reasons, so, please also ask Lu Dudu to think twice." Lu Su persuaded Lu Chao.

"Zijing, you just think that I can't capture Hanzhong, it's better to do this, let's make a bet, if I can't capture Hanzhong within tomorrow, I will hand over all the military power and the city, and from then on I will go to the countryside with the eldest princess to farm." But if I capture Hanzhong within tomorrow, you will hand over all the military power of Eastern Wu to me, and all the fierce generals will be at my disposal? Lu Chao mentioned it to Lu Su.

"Major events in the army can't be such child's play." Lu Su refused to bet with Lu Chao.

"Since Zijing thinks that I can't capture Hanzhong, why don't you dare to bet?" Lu Chao continued to provoke Lu Su.

"Governor Lu insists on attacking Hanzhong tomorrow?" Lu Su sighed.

"Yes. Zijing doesn't need to persuade me, I only do what I am sure of, and the things I decide will not be easily changed. Lu Chao nodded.

"At present, everyone in the DPRK and China is not convinced by you, mainly because they think that you have won a few victories by stealing planes in the early stage, and that you have no real military talent. If you can capture Hanzhong within three days, and the losses of the troops do not exceed half, it proves that you do have military command talents beyond Gongjin, and I will persuade the lord to hand over the general military power of Eastern Wu to you to command, and persuade other fierce generals to obey your command. Lu Su mentioned it to Lu Chao.

"Zijing, Gong Jin gambled with me many times, but he missed the appointment every time." Lu Chao looked at Lu Su with a playful expression.

"I won't, the agreement I made with you will definitely be implemented." Lu Su's expression was very sincere.

"That's good, Zijing might as well be in the formation and wait for my good news tomorrow." Lu Chao still believed in Lu Su's character, and after Zhou Yu's death, Lu Su had the highest prestige among the ministers of Eastern Wu, and once he elected Lu Chao as the governor of Eastern Wu, others would not be dissatisfied.

This is also a good opportunity for Lu Chao.

……

Early the next morning, the battle was in full swing.

An army of 200,000 stormed the city of Hanzhong.

The combat effectiveness of the 70,000 army under Zhang Lu's personal command was really strong, probably because they found that Lu Chao and Lu Bu's legions were more powerful, and they mainly attacked the South Vietnamese legions within the prohibition, and every time the legion technique was released, thousands of casualties were caused to the South Vietnamese legions.

In the war in the ancient martial arts world, the legionnaires were soul-controlled after joining the legion, and even if they suffered heavy casualties, they could not escape, but they would be afraid to cause a decline in morale and damage to their strength.

The South Vietnamese legion withstood repeated attacks in the city, while Lü Chao and Lü Bu's legions went all out to attack the ban in Hanzhong, and it took three hours to break through the ban in Hanzhong.

It seems that Zhang Lu has stored a lot of energy stones, and the defense value of Hanzhong City's defense is even higher than that of Xiangcheng.

Before the ban was broken, Zhang Lu's army retreated into the city, closed the city gates, and continued to defend above the city walls.

Lü Chao's army will next face the huge thick city wall of Hanzhong City, which is more than 50 meters high.

With such a high wall, wolves can't even climb it.

But this is not difficult for Lu Chao.

Without forbidden protection, Lu Chao used diamonds bought from the supermarket to drill a lot of holes in the city wall, and then filled C4 explosives into them.

After more than a dozen continuous loud noises, the huge thick city wall of Hanzhong City, which was more than 50 meters high, was blown open a big gap, and Lu Chao and Lu Bu led the wolf cavalry to rush into the city with lightning speed, and began to engage Zhang Lu's army in close combat.

Facing the enemy head-on, Zhang Lu's army of 70,000 was even higher than Lu Bu's army of 55,000 wolf cavalry!

This result made Lu Budu feel a little surprised.

However, the comprehensive combat power of Zhang Lu's legion is still a little worse than Lu Chao's wolf cavalry legion.

After two hours of hard work, the soldiers of Zhang Lu's legion lost more than one-third, Zhang Lu sighed and decided to lead the remaining more than 40,000 soldiers and the people of the city to surrender!

Zhang Lu was mainly disappointed in Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and after he sent several fierce generals who flew to the King City of Shu and King City of Wei for help returned to the city, he told him that Liu Bei and Cao Cao had all kinds of prevarications, and they had no intention of coming to the rescue at all, so in a fit of anger, they surrendered to Lu Chao.

Lü Chao inspected the rest of the army, and the South Vietnamese legion suffered a lot of losses this time, with more than 60,000 losses of 100,000 soldiers, Lü Bu's wolf cavalry corps about 15,000 men, and Lü Chao's own legion only 3,000 losses.

The loss of nearly 80,000 soldiers, but the collection of more than 40,000 very strong soldiers of Zhang Lu, came and went, only lost more than 30,000 soldiers, and the overall combat strength was greatly enhanced, I have to say that Lu Chao made a lot of money in this battle.

The purpose of Lu Chao's battle was to occupy Hanzhong to collect Ma Chao and Pang De, but he didn't expect to receive Zhang Lu, and he was also very strong, which was an unexpected joy.

All he needs to do now is to wait quietly for Ma Chao and Pang De to come over in Hanzhong.

……

"What does Zijing think of my use of soldiers?" After Lu Chao incorporated Zhang Lu's subordinates, he stood on the city gate tower and asked Lu Su.

"All I can say is that it's tough." Lu Su watched the whole siege battle of Lu Chao, and after seeing the strength of Lu Chao's legion with his own eyes, he didn't know what to say.

Lu Chao and Zhou Yu are different.

Zhou Yuqiang is strong in military command and various military strategies.

And Lu Chao is strong in his army, the army of more than 40,000 under his personal command is actually higher than the 70,000 army of the demon Zhang Lu! It is also far above Lu Bu, the god general of the body exchange realm!

With such strength, there is no need for any command art, and there is no need for all kinds of tactics, just crush the opponent in the way of a bulldozer!

Such a legion is unstoppable!

"Can Zijing rest assured that the fierce generals and legions of Eastern Wu will be in my hands?" Lu Chao confirmed to Lu Su.

"Don't worry, I will never break my promise." Lu Su nodded, he had always thought that he was not the best candidate to succeed Zhou Yu, since he had promised Lu Chao yesterday, he would definitely not go back on his word like Zhou Yu.
