Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

There was a sound of footsteps, and Liu Bowen came quickly and reported: "The commander-in-chief, killed more than [-] enemies in total, captured more than [-] enemy troops, and seized countless ordnance."

An advertisement, the book chasing app I've been using recently, !

"it is good!"

"This battle was fought beautifully." Li Chen was overjoyed and couldn't help but praise.

You know, Cao Jun's full battle is no more than one hundred thousand troops.After this battle, more than 3 people were beheaded by himself, and more than 1 people were captured.In other words, Cao Jun ran away with a total of [-] people, and most of these people must have escaped.Calculated in this way, the soldiers who returned to Cao Ying in the end would not exceed [-] soldiers.

Great victory, this battle is considered a great victory even in the early stage of the Three Kingdoms.

"What about the casualties of our army?" Li Chen pondered.

"More than [-] people died, more than [-] were seriously injured, and more than [-] were slightly injured." Liu Bowen reported.

There are no immortals in a war, and this battle loss ratio is already pretty good, but you must know that most of Li Chen's troops are recruits.After this battle, the recruits were bloodied and became veterans.

However, the only regret in this era is that a serious injury is basically equivalent to booking a seat at Yan Luo Store.After basic medical treatment, seriously injured soldiers can only rely on themselves, whether they survive or not depends entirely on destiny.

"The seriously injured brother must also be rescued. Find the best doctor and use the best medicine. As long as the brother can be rescued, he will do whatever it takes." Li Chen said to Liu Bowen in a solemn tone.

Seeing Li Chen's serious expression, Liu Bowen couldn't help being moved, he nodded and cupped his hands and said, "My lord is kind."

With a lord like Li Chen, the soldiers have no reason not to die.

You know, the least valuable thing in this era is human life.It can even be said that in the era when life was so cheap, almost no warlord would make great efforts to treat seriously injured soldiers on the battlefield.There are even some people who, in order to reduce the pain of seriously wounded soldiers, will deal with them together with seriously wounded enemy soldiers.

Dealing with the seriously injured soldiers of the enemy army and not letting them waste their own resources, Li Chen can be said to have no sense of guilt in doing this kind of thing.However, these injured brothers on our side are all heroes who bleed for themselves.If they were dealt with together, it would be worse than a beast.

Li Chen would definitely not do such a thing that would cause the hero to bleed and cry, so as long as there is even a glimmer of hope, he will definitely save these brothers, and he will do his best to save them.

After ordering the wounded soldiers, Li Chen then said to Liu Bowen: "Bowen, the captured soldiers should be selected as young and strong as possible to add to our army. As for the old and weak, they will be dismissed as civilians on the spot. They must be properly resettled."

"No." Liu Bowen cupped his hands and said.

The victory in Xuzhou wiped out [-] elite soldiers of Cao's army in one fell swoop, and the morale of both soldiers and civilians in the city was high.

at the same time.

Xiaopei.

In Xiaopei City, people were already panicking.

Cao Cao personally led the army to attack Xiaopei for three days. At this time, the city of Xiaopei was full of corpses and blood flowed like rivers.

Under this small Xiaopei city, Cao Cao has already lost [-] troops.Similarly, Lu Bu in the city was not much better. At this time, even counting the wounded soldiers, he had less than [-] soldiers.

Cao Cao didn't expect that Lu Bu's defense was so firm this time, it could be said that he would rather die than take a step back.In Cao Cao's view, although Lu Bu was skilled in martial arts, he was a family slave with three surnames.Why, he was so weak when dealing with Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun, but when it was his turn to deal with Cao Cao, he became so tough.

Before Cao Cao went to Xiaopei City several times to persuade Lu Bu to surrender, he was scolded by Lu Bu and Chen Gong in turn.Today, Cao Cao even threatened Lu Bu under the city, if he did not surrender.Those who wait until the city is broken will have to slaughter the city for three days.

But even so, Lu Bu still would rather die than surrender.This made Boss Cao so angry that he couldn't figure out why Lu Bu was so stubborn this time.

Xiaopei.

On the top of the city, Lu Bu stood on the top of the city and looked at the soldiers lying on the city wall in disorder, and then looked at Cao Jun's camp not far away.

How many more days can be left, Lu Bu really can't decide to pay attention.

"My lord, there are not enough rocks and logs in the city. I'm afraid they won't be enough for tomorrow." Just at this moment, Zhang Liao Gao Shun appeared behind Lu Bu, and Zhang Liao cupped his hands and said.

In the battle of city defense, the side defending the city has an absolute advantage.As Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, encircle three times and attack ten times.That is to say, if the difference in military strength is three times that, we can only besiege the city and wait for the enemy's food and grass to run out.And when the strength of the army is more than ten times, it is only then that there is a sure-fire attack.

The reason why the defending party was able to deal with ten times the attacking troops was mainly due to the three treasures of defending the city, the stone, the rolling log and the golden juice.

Needless to say, golden juice can be continuously produced as long as there are people.But this rock and log is a consumable, and it cannot be recycled after it is thrown away.But now, the rocks and logs stored in Xiaopei City have almost been exhausted.

Chapter 66 Xiaopei's offensive and defensive battle

The importance of rolling stones and rolling logs to the defense of the city is beyond doubt, and it can even be said to be the most important weapon for the defense of the city.When the enemy is climbing the city wall, it is difficult to have any effective way to kill the enemy. Rolling stones and rolling logs is an excellent way to kill.

Behind Lu Bu, Chen Gong pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Demolish the house, now the only thing to do is to demolish the house and use it as a rock and a log."

"Well, that's the only way to go." Lu Bu nodded and replied.

At this time, I can only let go of the small self and take care of the big self.If the house is demolished, there is still a chance to keep Xiaopei, but if it is not demolished, tomorrow if there are no rocks and rolling logs on the top of the city, it will be difficult to keep Xiaopei.

"My lord, if the house is demolished, I'm afraid the people in the city will complain." Zhang Liao cupped his hands and said.

Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Lv Bu's face turned cold. Zhang Liao was right, and rashly demolishing common people's houses would definitely make him feel resentful.

"Gao Shun." Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly.

"The end is here." Gao Shun bowed his hands to obey the order.

"Remove it from my mansion first. You bring people in yourself. You only need to leave a few bedrooms for the women in the mansion." Lu Bu ordered in a serious tone.

"No." Gao Shun took the order and left.

Gao Shun was always upright, and he never compromised on Lv Bu's orders.

"Hey."

"My lord, why are you here?" Chen Gong said with a sigh.

Lu Bu shook his scarlet cloak and shouted, "If the city isn't here, what's the use of the mansion."

It was night, Gao Shun demolished Lu Bu's mansion overnight, and then many soldiers began to demolish the house from the city wall from near to far.Originally, the common people were complaining, but when they heard that Lu Bu's mansion was also demolished, leaving only a few bedrooms, the common people had nothing to say.

Lu Bu ordered people to pitch tents in the city, and for the people whose houses had been demolished, Lu Bu temporarily placed them in the tents.

It was just dawn, and Cao Jun, who had rested for [-], started a new attack, as if he would not give up until Xiaopei was captured.

"Soldiers, take Xiaopei."

"There will be no military discipline within three days."

Under Xiaopei City, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Cao Jun gathered, and some small schools began to boost the morale of their men.

What does it mean that there is no military discipline within three days? That is, once Xiaopei is captured, the soldiers can kill, burn, and loot at will within three days. It is conceivable that once Xiaopei is captured, these Cao troops who have been suppressed by the war for a long time Soldiers must vent like a volcanic eruption.

"Siege."

Casually waving the flag in the hands of the messengers, tens of thousands of Cao Jun, accompanied by various engineering equipment, began to rush towards the Xiaopei city wall.

On the city wall, Lu Bu's subordinates began to draw their bows and arrows, and shot towards the rushing Cao Jun.However, such a rain of arrows is not very lethal to Cao Jun who is holding a large shield.

Soon, Cao Jun rushed to the city.Under the city, the archers of the Cao army were shooting at Lu Bu's bow and arrow. Of course, there were more soldiers of the Cao army who were climbing the ladder.

On the city wall, the soldiers poured the boiled hot golden juice down.The boiling green golden juice exudes a disgusting smell.The pot of golden juice was poured down, and Cao Jun's soldiers on the ladder immediately started to tap dance on the ladder.

In this era, people who were scalded by the golden juice basically had no chance of surviving.The various bacterial infections that come with burns have completely surpassed the medical cognition of this era.

After the golden juice, stones and logs rolled down, and in an instant, the soldiers on the ladder fell down like dumplings.

Of course, occasionally a few soldiers of Cao Jun climbed up the city wall. Unfortunately, as soon as they climbed up the wall, the waiting knives and axes rushed up and chopped them into meat.

In this day's offensive and defensive battle, Lu Bu once again managed to hold on.However, more than 3000 soldiers under him were also lost.At this time, there were only [-] defenders on Xiaopei's city wall.

In the evening, after fighting for a whole day, Cao Cao withdrew his troops and returned to camp.

Cao Ying.

Chinese army tent.

Sitting in the middle of the big tent was the short, dark-skinned Cao Cao. He didn't look like a warlord, but more like a cake seller.

Although they look similar to the cake seller in the Song Dynasty, the difference between the two is huge.The cook cake seller in the Song Dynasty had no power and power, and he had only one brother who could beat him, so his wife had to be slept by others.

But Cao Cao is different. Although he is not tall and has dark skin, Cao Cao is powerful and has a group of brothers who can fight.So, this Cao Cao likes to sleep with other people's daughter-in-law.

After Cao Cao waited in the big tent for a short time, he saw groups of generals walking into the big tent.The armor of these people was still stained with blood, obviously they had just been withdrawn from the battlefield not long ago.

When everyone arrived, Cao Cao pulled out his green sword and shouted: "Everyone, Lu Bu is clearly stretched in today's battle. Tomorrow's battle will definitely win Xiao Pei."

"My lord, Xu Chu was originally the vanguard." Xu Chu came out, clasped his hands and said in a low voice.

"Since" Cao Cao was about to agree, but Liu Bei stood up.

"Ming Gong, the three of my brothers have not made an inch of merit since they came to you. Why don't you let the three of my brothers be the vanguard tomorrow." Liu Bei stood out and said, clasping his hands.

"Liu Xuande, there is a first-come first-come-first-served basis for everything. I invite you to fight first, and the vanguard will never get your turn." As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, Xu Chu immediately said angrily.

Liu Bei didn't argue with Xu Chu, but looked at Cao Cao.

Who will be the vanguard, they will not be able to count on how powerful they are. In the end, Cao Cao must have the final say.

The reason why Liu Bei invited the vanguard was not that he really wanted to be loyal to Cao Cao.This guy Liu Bei is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.

It's just because the three brothers haven't made any contribution since they took refuge.Cao Cao naturally wouldn't give them soldiers if he didn't make an inch of merit, but just let them obey orders under the tent.

Unable to lead soldiers, Liu Bei was a little anxious.The reason why he took refuge in Cao Cao was because Cao Cao had many soldiers and generals, and he wanted to find an opportunity to "borrow" an army from Cao Cao, and then plot to make a comeback.

As for when to return the borrowed soldiers, what?Why do I, Liu Xuande, have to return the things I borrowed with my ability.

I'm asking, I'm in a hurry, and I will pay it back next week.

Liu Bei would be eager to make meritorious deeds, and only if he made meritorious deeds would Cao Cao be able to let him lead the army.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao decided to let the three brothers Liu Bei be the vanguard. After all, it needs to face Lu Bu directly.Now in Cao Cao's camp, only these three brothers can rival Lu Bu.

"Okay, since Xuande is asking for a fight, the three brothers will be the vanguard tomorrow." Cao Cao said.

Boss Cao's prestige was unquestionable, and when he spoke, Xu Chu naturally didn't dare to say anything else.

Ps; the reader group number I added in the testimonial on the shelf seems to be harmonized, and it may not be added in the chapter.Brothers who want to join the group, read the words of the author at the bottom, I will post the group number in it.

Chapter 64 Some Leave, Others Stay

Xiaopei.

On the top of the city, Lu Bu was wearing a scarlet cloak, looking a little lonely against the afterglow of the setting sun behind him.

"My lord, I can't keep it anymore." Chen Gong's voice was a little low, and there was something indescribable in the low voice.

When Chen Gong said this, he was not trying to shake the morale of the army, he was explaining a fact.Xiaopei's city walls are still the same, but their strength is getting smaller and smaller.As a result, the entire city wall is full of loopholes that cannot be defended.

Xiaopei's city wall is now like a dilapidated house with air leaks everywhere. If it is pushed so hard, it may collapse at any time.

Lu Bu turned his head and looked at the soldiers behind him, their eyes were full of death.

These are all iron cavalry brought by Lu Bu from Bingzhou. After so many years of running around, now there are only a thousand or so people left.

Although there are not many soldiers in Bingzhou, their eyes are as firm as iron. In their eyes, they follow Lu Bu to the death.Today, it was they who ran around like firefighters, which allowed the recruits on the top of the city to withstand Cao Jun's attack.

"I, Lu Fengxian, have been running around for half my life. This time, I will not leave. If Xiao Pei is here, I, Lu Fengxian, will be there. When Xiao Pei loses, it is the day that I, Lu Fengxian, die."

"If Cao Jun wants to cross Xiaopei, he must first cross my body, Lu Fengxian." Lu Bu pointed Fang Tian's painted halberd directly at Chang Tian, ​​and his heroic spirit soared to the sky for a while.

"The city is in and the people are in it, but the city is lost and the people are dead."

"The city is in and the people are in it, but the city is lost and the people are dead."

"The city is in and the people are in it, but the city is lost and the people are dead."

The Bingzhou soldiers under Lu Bu's command shouted in unison, and then the recruits recruited from Xiaopei also began to shout.

Pei people are good at martial arts, even ordinary people in Pei country can wield swords and swords.You know, this is the hometown of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. It can be said that nearly half of Liu Bang's heroes in destroying Qin came from Xiaopei.

Pei people have a long history of being fond of martial arts, and it is precisely because almost all of Lu Bu's recruits are Pei people that they were able to achieve ten and three without collapsing.

It is hard to break an earthen pot from the mouth of the well, and the general will inevitably die before the battle.At this time, Lv Bu, a general from other places, had made the decision to live and die with Xiao Pei, so what reason did these Pei soldiers not follow.

"Gongtai, go and gather the people to the city, I have something to say." Lu Bu sighed and said to Chen Gong.

"No." Chen Gong had already guessed what Lu Bu was thinking, so he didn't say anything, just responded.

About half an hour later, all the people in the city had gathered under the city.

Before the start of the war, basically all the people who could walk in Xiaopei City had left, and now there are only 3 to [-] people left, and five or six out of ten of these people are lonely old people who cannot leave their homeland.

Seeing that everyone was almost there, Lu Bu stood on the city wall and shouted to the people below the city: "Folks, Cao Cao has issued an order. After the city is broken, there will be no military discipline within three days. Cao's army is like wolves. Once they enter The city will inevitably be slaughtered, burned, and looted. You go back and clean up later, and I will order General Gao Shun to lead you to break through the north gate after dark. You go north, go to Xuzhou and go to Xuzhou Mu Lichen."

"Let's go, my old man won't go. I'm already old, born and raised in Xiaopei, and even if I die now, I will die in Xiaopei too." At this time, gray-haired but robust The old man stood up and said.

"That's right, General Lu, don't worry. We won't drag down the defenders, we can help you carry supplies. If the city wall can't be defended anymore, old man, I will hold Cao Jun and jump off the wall." At this time, another An old man stood up and said.

"Yes, he is considered an old man." Another old man stood up.

At this time, it was these old people with half of the loess buried up to their necks who were more carefree.They have lived enough and are not afraid of death, even if they die, they will die in their homeland.If it went to another country, how could this soul return.
