Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 248 Attacking Tobu
Yangmou!This is a difficult choice Yuan Shaochi exposed to Lu Bu.

"Order Zhang Liao to lead the cavalry back."

"Three days after the army has been reorganized, the troops will be dispatched to Tobu!"

"Order Yang Lin to lead a large army to storm Anping once Yuan Shao withdraws his troops."

Finally, Lu Bu stood up suddenly, exuding a firm determination all over his body, and issued the final general order.

After this scene fell into the eyes of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, they took a deep breath, and Lu Bu had already made a decision, a decision that made them unable to speak.

He didn't adopt any of their suggestions, but chose a ruthless general order, which was to storm Yuan Shao's territory and consume the army's soldiers to offset the insufficient food and grass expenses.

Lu Bu's army was short of food, but Yuan Shao was not necessarily short of food. When Jizhou was already exhausted after repeated battles, Yuan Shao would never have too much food and grass after several consecutive defeats even if his family had a great career.

To die, or to say that Lu Bu is going to spend with Yuan Shao, fighting for food and soldiers, to see who can persevere.

Looking at Lu Bu who had already made the decision, Guo Jia cupped his hands and said solemnly: "My lord, if our army can capture Dongwu before Yuan Shao's army returns, then the opportunity will be in our hands."

After Guo Jia finished talking about his thoughts, Jia Xu also stood up and showed his presence, not to be outdone.

"My lord, immediately send an order to General Yang Lin to lead the army to attack Anping without worrying about the situation in Zhongshan. It is best to nail Yuan Shao to the Anping area."

"General Zhang Liao can lead the cavalry to harass Yuan Shao's army on the only way to return, delaying its return schedule."

With the best efforts of the two counselors, Lu Bu heaved a sigh of relief as if the gloom in his heart had cleared up. After careful calculation, his chances of winning were not low.

"Wenhe, Fengxiao, order the rear to prepare food and grass, and it must be supported until the autumn harvest."

promise!
In the early morning of the second day, a force of [-] soldiers and horses poured out of Guangchuan City and headed towards Tobu. Gao Lan was cautious and did not send troops.

Zhang Liao led three thousand light cavalry to harass Yuan Shao's army frequently, and Yang Lin aggressively attacked Anping.

As time went by, Tobu City was full of flames of war every day. Lu Bu led the army to attack for five days in a row, and black blood spots were everywhere on the city walls.

"Gao Lan, Yuan Shao is at the end of the road, as the saying goes, those who know current affairs are heroes."

Dian Wei on the top of the wall shouted loudly, but Gao Lan on the top of the wall sneered twice, "Everyone, if you have the guts, lead an army to attack the city. You don't have to use your tongue."

Suddenly Dian Wei's face turned black from anger, his eyes as big as copper bells stared at the top of the city, and he shouted angrily: "Since Gao Lanru is ignorant of current affairs, I will take your head when the city is destroyed."

hum~
A black feathered arrow was shot fifty steps away from Dianwei in an instant. After seeing it, Dianwei roared angrily, patted his horse and turned back to the army formation.

Lu Bu, under the commander's banner, looked at Dian Wei who had returned to the front of the formation, nodded indifferently, and waved his hand directly. Immediately, the generals behind him shouted angrily: "Siege the city."

dong dong dong~
In an instant, the drums were beating loudly, and dense black figures began to press forward, and more than two hundred catapults were pushed to the front of the formation.

After seeing this scene, Gao Lan's face became gloomy. This catapult was even more powerful than before. When I first saw it, the range was not as far as that of a bow and arrow, but at this time it had stopped two hundred steps away.

"Vertical shield! Prepare for battle!"

The loud shouts echoed on the city wall, Gao Lan continued to patrol the city with a cold face, and a siege crossbow was ready.

At this moment, the black phalanx suddenly withdrew from a passage, and then scattered figures appeared densely, shrinking their heads or cursing angrily.

And Lu Bu under Shuai's banner had a cruel sneer after seeing this scene. The more than three thousand scattered figures were all people who came to make trouble in Guangchuan city during this period, and many of them were resentful of Lu Bu because of the death of someone in his family and the flames of war. the people of the army.

But these are unstable factors on the cruel road to hegemony. The drums are beating, and then a group of soldiers holding ring swords appears behind them. People can only rush forward helplessly.

woo~
The charge horn sounded, and this group of chaotic miscellaneous soldiers were forced to rush towards the city. They didn't have any weapons in their hands, and there were many crying old and weak among them.

After driving these more than [-] people to the top of the city, the soldiers under Lu Bu's command stopped. Then, under Lu Bu's indifferent nod, the catapult in front of the formation instantly launched an attack.

buzz~
The stone rain fell all over the sky, and Gao Lan on the top of the city hid behind the battlements, looking at the screaming and crying crowd below the city, full of indifference.

"Shoot random arrows!"

buzz~
Feathered arrows appeared all over the sky, and wailing sounded from the city. Some people chose to flee in anger, but Lu Bu's army behind them brandished ruthless butcher knives.

"Siege the city! Why do you eat up your ladders, as long as you can climb the tower, it is a great achievement."

The ruthless roar constantly echoed in front of the army, and there were tigers and wolves in front. This is the tragedy of this era. People without any force have become weapons of careerists.

After this scene fell into the eyes of the Bingzhou Army, there was no ripple. Even Dian Wei thought it was a normal phenomenon, but after falling into the eyes of Lu Bu, he nodded slightly. Soldiers, but also for all life.

"Siege!"

The horn sounded, and the Bingzhou army started to move, and the black five thousand sword shield soldiers began to charge, and at the same time pushed the dense arrow towers and various siege equipment, and the sky was covered by stone rain to cover their attack.

Ah ~
kill~
The sound of wailing, screaming, and fighting echoed in the sky. Gao Lan on the Tobu City kept calmly ordering the soldiers to resist the enemy, but cold sweat kept slipping from his temples.

He saw the soldiers and horses with low morale on the top of the city, and the Bingzhou Army below the city like wolves and tigers. Since the Bingzhou Army attacked the city, he could clearly see the changes in morale in the city.

The fall of Guangchuan and Qu Yi's escape were not insignificant blows to morale. Although he understood that this was part of the plan, the soldiers under his command didn't think so.

Guangchuan, which is as strong as a strong city, has been conquered, and it will be a matter of time before Tobu, especially in the past few days, the Bingzhou Army has gone crazy, ignoring casualties, attacking the city day and night, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

"My lord, Yuan Shao's army has at most two or three days' journey to arrive soon!"

Lu Bu under the commander's flag listened to the report from the panting soldiers, nodded indifferently with an expression of indifference, but his heart was full of urgency.

Guo Jia on the side shook his head with a wry smile after hearing this, "My lord, all the surrendered soldiers in Guangchuan city have been lost in the past five days, and even our soldiers and horses have suffered more than ten thousand casualties."

The price was really too high. After Guangchuan City was captured, a total of [-] soldiers surrendered. That is to say, in the past five days, they almost had to pay nearly [-] casualties for attacking the city every day.

The casualties mentioned in this era are not death in battle, but the sum of the dead and injured. But in this era, serious injuries represent a narrow escape.

　Come, come, come, brothers, how about a wave of support?
