Chapter Eighty-Three: Resisting Cao and Never Stopping
After entering the military tent, Gao Shun simply explained the situation on the front line, which was mostly information from the wounded soldiers and prisoners who attacked at night, such as how many soldiers and horses there were in Guangling City, what the combat strength was, and how many generals Sun Ce brought over.
This information is still very important to Lu Bu, and he bowed his head and said: "This thing is done well, record the merits of the soldiers in the merit book, and receive rewards after the war." ”
"Whoa."
After Gao Shun stepped back, Liu Ye, who was itching on the side, stood up with a smile, "Wen Hou, I have made eight thunderbolts overnight, and I can help in the battle at any time." ”
"Good!"
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, pulled Lin Mo on the side, raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go, take a look." ”
Everyone followed Liu Ye's footsteps to the back camp, where two tall thunderbolt cars were already placed.
Unlike when he was in Lujiang, this time, Liu Ye installed a runner under the thunderbolt car to facilitate pushing to the battlefield.
"Ziyang, Xia Guangling will rely on your thunderbolt."
Lu Bu looked at the thunderbolt car with his chest crossed, and his eyes could not hide his eagerness, "Let the soldiers rest for two days, and go to Guangling City in two days!" ”
"Whoa!" Xu Sheng on the side.
"Let these thunderbolts be pushed to the front camp." After Lu Bu finished speaking, Liu Ye beckoned the soldiers to take action.
These thunderbolts, each weighing a thousand pounds, surrounded more than 20 people and began to push forward.
Eight thunderbolts moved at the same time, and the scene was quite spectacular.
Bang~
An embarrassing scene arose, because the grass in the camp had several dents, and the wheels could not move after they sank.
In fact, those pits are not deep, just because the thunderbolt is too heavy, and once you get stuck in it.
Liu Ye glanced at Lu Bu with some embarrassment, smiled and waved his hand, "Another team of people, push quickly!" ”
A thunderbolt car, surrounded by more than 50 people, in a burst of slogans, but failed to push out for a long time, Lu Bu laughed dryly, "This thunderbolt car is still too cumbersome." ”
Such a thunderbolt vehicle has a lot of investment, but it can only walk on flat ground, and the slightest complex terrain will affect the speed of the army's march, and even delay the fighters, this defect is still a bit big.
Lin Mo squatted down, glanced at the bottom structure of the thunderbolt, and quickly came to a conclusion.
This is a bearing problem, and adding springs to the bottom of the vehicle should reduce the occurrence of similar situations.
Anyway, the old man also said that he would have to wait for two days, and it would be easy to get a few springs.
"Is there a way to fix it?" Catching the change in Lin Mo's expression, Lu Bu leaned over and asked.
Liu Ye also leaned over, he had heard that Lin Mo was good at kit kat and wanted to hear his high theory.
"If you want to make some improvements to the bottom of the chariot, I'll go find a few craftsmen later."
"Is it that easy?"
Seeing that Lin Mo said it so lightly, Liu Ye was a little suspicious of life, and muttered, "I'm going to take a look too." ”
"Chariots are about siege, it's up to you." Of course, Lu Bu was very confident in Lin Mo, and he didn't follow curiously to take a look, after all, he had more important things to do.
Lin Mo and Liu Ye went to find craftsmen, and Lu Bu took Xu Sheng and a few of them to Guangling City to survey the terrain and city defense.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and understanding the geographical advantages is a necessary lesson on the eve of every major war.
At this time, Guangling City had already hoisted the pontoon bridge and closed the gate, as if it was going to defend it.
Walking around the city, Lu Bu has a rough idea, the city is four feet high, there is a moat, the city defense is not as solid as Pengcheng, 13,000 people are stationed, if you want to attack, you must have 30,000 to 50,000 people.
However, the terrain outside the city is open, and there are no river tributaries crisscrossing it, which is very suitable for cavalry combat.
This battle really depends on the thunderbolt performance.
"Wen Hou, I heard that Sun Ce is brave and brave, and he will take the lead in every battle to strengthen the army's heart, and he can try to send people to call for battle under the city pass." Lu Bu glanced at Xu Sheng and smiled lightly.
Calling the battle in front of the pass is a routine often used when attacking the city, nothing new, all kinds of insults under the city pass, to a certain extent, can make the enemy's military heart sway.
Every time someone mentions it, Lu Bu always thinks of the picture of his long halberd standing in front of the coalition army of the princes of the Eighteen Roads shouting, and Lu Bu among the people and the red rabbit among the horses started here.
Because he wanted to draw a map to facilitate the battle, Lu Bu walked around the city twice and walked all over the ten miles around, and he knew everything about where there were depressions, dense forests, and water systems.
After doing all this, when I returned to the military village, it was already dark.
He was not in a hurry to eat, he wanted to go to see Gan Ning's situation, so he also pulled Lin Mo up.
"Yunwen, in terms of vertical and horizontal scheming and plotting, I am not as good as you, but the army can't be like this. Today, in front of all the generals, you want to severely punish Xingba, and this fact is inappropriate.
You spent so much effort to recruit him, and he remembered your kindness in his heart, but today's events are quite humiliating.
His people are all from water bandits, and they are not good at land warfare, which is also what Ling himself said, and it is still the first time to fight, and it is inevitable that he will be confused in the face of cavalry robbery.
In the future, if there is a similar situation, you should at least consult with me privately, and once everyone looks at me directly, I cannot be biased. ”
On the way, Lu Bu taught Lin Mo like a bitter and strict father.
In his opinion, Lin Mo should be a little eager to be powerful in the army, so he took Gan Ning to open the knife.
The idea is good, but the approach is wrong.
Lin Mo didn't explain, just nodded in agreement.
When he came to Gan Ning's military tent, he was lying on the couch, revealing his fleshy and red back, which was a little oozing.
"Wen Hou, sir..."
Gan Ning hugged him and wanted to get up and salute, but was pressed down by Lu Bu, "Don't do it, I've already blamed Yunwen for today's incident, don't be angry." ”
"Where did Wen Hou say, before the expedition, the last general once said that if you are not willing to be a military law, forty military sticks should be accepted." Gan Ning was not lightly injured, and it seemed a little difficult to speak.
"Xingba, I won't tell you more, everyone knows about this in the army today, and more people will know about it in the future, so ah, I think you should be jealous." Lin Mo sat next to Gan Ning and used his hand to blow the wind to make his back more comfortable.
"What do you mean, sir?" Gan Ning glanced at Lu Bu and was a little puzzled.
"It's nothing, your forty military sticks won't be in vain, I will give you a military merit."
These words made Gan Ning and Lu Bu more and more suspicious, and Gan Ning even wanted to get up, but because of the heart-rending pain in his back, he lay down again, "Sir... Sir, don't you want to suffer hardships and deceive at the end? ”
Gan Ning's words made Lu Bu's eyes light up, it is a good way to surrender, it is still possible to fish out Sun Ce.
"It's just Sun Ce, why do you need the general to suffer the pain of the heart."
Lin Mo's eyes sank slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "To deal with an old fox like Cao Cao, it is too easy to be recognized before the war, and I have to lay out in advance. ”
Hearing this, the two of them suddenly gathered their pupils, and they wanted to deal with Cao Cao?
Being in Guangling, Sun Ce has not retreated, you are already thinking about the next war, and a sense of horror rose in the hearts of both of them.
No wonder you are so abnormal today, you have to make things difficult for Gan Xingba in front of everyone, and you want to show everyone Liwei, it turns out that you want to show Cao Cao.
My son-in-law has 800 hearts and eyes, and he is really likeable.
"Xingba, only you can take on this important responsibility among the generals in the army, and in the next few days, I am afraid that there will be humiliation, I hope you will bear with me."
No one is better suited to do this than Gan Xingba.
He was born as a bandit, acted arbitrarily, and received military justice for failing to send troops to stop the robbery of the camp.
"Don't worry, sir, the last general will know what to do!" Before this, Gan Ning was indeed a little unconvinced by Lin Mo, and he also felt that Lin Mo was using himself to establish his authority.
Now, after understanding the other party's intentions, I suddenly felt that the forty military sticks behind me were too worthwhile.
The opponent is Cao Cao, if he can break the enemy with this, not to mention the merits of pouring the sky, as an appreciated maxima, he can be regarded as repaying the kindness of Lu Buweng's son-in-law.
"Xingba, you can rest assured, and I will avenge the revenge of the camp."
Knowing that his son-in-law had been planning to resist Cao, Lu Bu felt that this little thing could no longer distract him, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't he known as the little overlord of Jiangdong, then let his overlord gun know this Fang Tian painting halberd in my hand!" ”
