Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 233 Lu Bu Escapes

Without hesitation, Zhao Qian took advantage of the situation and ordered the army to attack the city, wanting to take Luoyang City in one go.

However, after all, Luoyang City, as the former capital, was well fortified, and the siege entered a stalemate.

Gao Shun and Zang Ba are both capable generals under Lv Bu's tent. Although there are not many sergeants under him, they still resist Zhao Qian's attack temporarily by relying on the Luoyang city wall.

Zhao Qian saw that the siege had not achieved any substantial results, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Summoning the generals of the various armies into his tent, Zhao Qian discussed with everyone the strategy of breaking the city, because blindly attacking the city seems to be useless except for increasing damage.

Su Huan thought for a while and said, "My lord, why don't you use a thunderbolt chariot, even Lu Bu can't resist the power of flying stones."

Xu Rong's expression changed after hearing this, and he asked, "Could it be the thunderbolt chariot used by the lord to break through Hulao Pass?"

As a general under Dong Zhuo's tent, Xu Rong had heard about Zhao Qian's break through of Hulao Pass with a thunderbolt car, but now he heard Su Huan mentioning it, he couldn't help being surprised.

"It's the Thunderbolt Chariot that broke the Tiger Prison Pass." Su Huan nodded and said, "Once the Thunderbolt Chariot comes out, Lu Bujun is nothing but a chicken and a dog."

Seeing Su Huan's confident appearance, Zhao Qian smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Attacking Luoyang City is no better than Hulao Pass, and you can't use thunderbolt chariots."

"Why?" Su Huan asked a little puzzled.

Zhao Qian sighed lightly and said: "Hulao is just a pass, which can be bombarded with thunderbolt chariots, and there are still people in Luoyang City. If falling rocks fly into the city and hurt the people, it is not what the general wants. "

"Grand General, those who plan for the world, don't you care about small people? I agree with General Su's proposal to bombard Luoyang City with thunderbolt cars!" Han Xian said nonchalantly.

Zhao Qian frowned, and shouted: "You are now a general of the imperial court, not the leader of the Baibo Bandit. You should put the people first in everything. How can you be a city and kill the people of the Han Dynasty in vain!"

"The people are water, and the court is a boat. Whoever can carry a boat can also overturn it!" Zhao Qian continued, "The former court didn't care for the people, so the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. Can't it be used as a lesson?"

These few sentences are very famous because later Tang Taizong discussed it with Wei Zheng. In fact, it was Xunzi's point of view at the earliest in the Warring States period.

It is estimated that all the generals present here, that is, Ma Chao and Su Huan, have heard that although Xu Chu can read, he must have never read Xunzi's works. .

After hearing Zhao Qian's words, Ma Chao immediately got up and cupped his fists and said: "The general loves the people, and we are not as good as we, but he has an order, and Chao will go through fire and water, and he will not hesitate."

Zhao Qian smiled slightly, nodded and said nothing. It seems that no matter what era, the attributes of the Virgin are very popular.

The most typical is Liu Bei, who just relied on the heart of the Virgin and the tears of sadness to break through a world.

Zhao Qian nodded towards Ma Chao, and said: "This general intends to use the strategy of exhausting the army and the strategy of making one side of the net."

The generals looked at Zhao Qian, as if they were a little confused.

Zhao Qian smiled slightly, a little helpless, this time he came out, he did not bring a counselor, and he had to make up his own mind when encountering problems.

"Master, why do you want to be lenient? Are you going to let Lu Bu go?" Su Huan asked.

Zhao Qian laughed and said, "It's not that Lu Bu was spared, but Luoyang was surrounded by four sides and only attacked three sides."

"Why only attack three sides?" Han Xian didn't understand why, but the others seemed to understand what Zhao Qian meant.

"Of course it's to leave a glimmer of hope for Lu Bu, lest his trapped beasts will continue to fight, and our army will only suffer more damage." Su Huan explained.

Zhao Qian nodded, and Xu Rong asked again: "My lord, what is the plan for the exhausted army?"

"The so-called strategy of exhausting the army is to continuously attack the city, so that Lu Bu's soldiers have no time to rest." Zhao Qian said.

"Then our sergeants don't have time to rest?" Li Le asked doubtfully, "It's useless!"

"Presumptuous!" Ma Chao yelled, "The general's plan has his own ideas, are you questioning it?"

Zhao Qian chuckled and said, "Meng Qi doesn't have to be like this, Second General Bai Bo can listen to my explanation."

After a pause, Zhao Qian continued: "The biggest advantage of our army is the number of people, so it can be divided into two groups, one for attacking the city, and the other for rest, with a rotation every half an hour, haha!"

When Zhao Qian said this, all the generals understood, clasped their fists and said, "Please order, General!"

Zhao Qian nodded, stood up, and said: "Xu Rong and Su Huan attack the south gate, Han Xian and Li Le attack the west gate, Ma Chao and Xu Chu attack the north gate. Take turns to attack, there must be no mistakes!"

"Order!"

Several generals received the order, led their respective troops, and began to attack the city.

In the first round, Xu Rong, Han Xian, and Ma Chao attacked first; then Su Huan, Li Le, and Xu Chu replaced the second round.This goes back and forth.

On the city wall of Luoyang, Lu Bu's army began to get busy. Gao Shun and Zang Ba came to Lu Bu's side and reported: "Marquis Wen, Zhao Qian's army divided into three groups and began to attack the city."

Lu Bu snorted coldly, and said, "What are you afraid of? Soldiers come to cover you with water and soil. You two should divide up your troops and fight, there must be no mistake!"

Gao Shun and Zang Ba looked at each other and had no choice but to take orders to go. Gao Shun guarded the south gate, Zang Ba guarded the west gate, and Lu Bu personally guarded the north gate.

When the siege battle began, the arrows rained down and the flying stones fell. At the beginning, the defending side still had a geographical advantage.

However, the siege battle never stopped from day to night, and the nerves of the soldiers defending the city did not relax for a moment, and many people could not stand up.

Gao Shun and Zang Ba tried their best to urge them until their voices became hoarse, but they seemed to have nothing to do, they were indeed too tired.

Lu Bu also saw that the general situation was over. If this situation continued, his sergeants might not even have the strength to raise their hands to surrender after a while.

Lu Bu let out a long sigh, and couldn't help recalling his previous glory. His wife and daughter were separated, his subordinates died one by one, and the team was getting smaller and smaller. It was a failure.

Looking at the Sergeant Zhao Qian who was still struggling to attack the city outside the city wall, Lu Bu tightened the Fang Tianji in his hand, and said in his heart, if the green hills are left, I am not afraid of running out of firewood!

So, Lu Bu looked at the sergeant who was listless and just instinctively shooting arrows down the city, stepped on his red rabbit BMW, picked up his painting pole Fang Tianji, and ran towards the east gate!

At this time, Zhao Qian, who was outside the north gate, stared suddenly, and a smile appeared on his face.

Since the start of the siege battle, Zhao Qian turned on the system radar of the Invincible Three Kingdoms system and locked on Lu Bu early.

Zhao Qian knew that Lu Bu was an invincible general, but he was also a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death. If he failed to defend the city, he would definitely run away.

Sure enough, as Zhao Qian expected, the red dot marking Lu Bu in the system radar was rushing towards the east gate!
