The Three Kingdoms: Steamed Buns and Pickled Cabbage, I Became the Emperor

Chapter 83: Lu Gongche Appears

Amidst the shouts.

The soldiers on Zhang Chao's side put down their weapons one after another.

Raise your hands in surrender.

Zhang Jun stood on the city wall of Guangling.

See this scene.

Everything went black before his eyes and he passed out.

the other side.

On the battlefield.

Dian Wei also saw Zhang Chao.

A pair of tiger eyes flashed with brilliance.

The last battle of Hulao Pass.

The biggest limelight was stolen by Zhao Yun.

If this time, he can kill Zhang Chao.

That is the first hero of this battle.

The wife that the lord promised to give me might actually appear.

"Thieves, please leave!"

at this time.

Under the cover of his personal soldiers, Zhang Chao frantically retreated towards Guangling City.

Dian Wei was wearing iron armor and was several dozen meters away from Zhang Chao.

Watching Zhang Chaoyue running farther and farther away.

Dian Wei was anxious.

I didn't have time to think too much.

He threw the iron halberd in his hand towards Zhang Chao like a javelin.

"Boom!"

The sound of an iron halberd breaking through the air was heard.

The captain of the personal guards saw the iron halberd flying towards Zhang Chao.

He raised the spear in his hand and swept it.

Who would have thought.

The iron halberd was powerful and heavy.

Instead, he knocked away the captain's spear.

In Zhang Chao's pupils.

He saw the iron spear flying towards him getting closer and bigger.

A cry of despair.

"My life is over!"

Fortunately.

The captain of the personal guards blocked the shot just now.

The force of the iron halberd was reduced by seven out of ten.

The iron halberd smashed straight into Zhang Chao's back.

But he was not killed on the spot.

"puff!"

Zhang Chao immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Lord!"

"Lord!"

Seeing his master vomiting blood.

The soldiers around him cried out in surprise.

The captain of the personal guards looked fierce and said to his personal guards.

"You take the lord and go first."

"I'll cover you from behind!"

Done.

He rode his horse and rushed towards Dian Wei.

Dian Wei was upset because he failed to kill Zhang Chao with his halberd.

Seeing that the captain of the personal guards dared to rush towards him.

It was a good opportunity to vent my anger on him.

I saw.

Dian Wei raised his fist and punched the captain of the personal guards on the head of the warhorse under his crotch.

"boom!"

The warhorse fell to the ground.

A cloud of dust was stirred up.

Dian Wei stepped over his warhorse.

Just grab the captain of the personal guards' ankles.

Wrestling with both arms.

He shouted loudly.

I saw.

The captain of the personal guards was torn into two by Dian Wei.

Blood splattered.

Dian Wei was covered in it.

With the tragic background of the battlefield.

Dian Wei covered in blood.

Like a demon from hell.

Zhang Chao's soldiers saw Dian Wei looking like a madman.

What else is there to say?

He quickly knelt down and surrendered.

------

Two days later, Guangling City.

Late autumn has arrived.

The autumn breeze is slightly cool.

Compared to the cool autumn wind.

The soldiers responsible for defending Guangling City felt colder than the autumn wind.

After a great battle.

Prefect Zhang Chao was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

County Magistrate Zhang Jun became so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma.

The great general Zang Hong was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun in the previous battle.

Now even the body cannot be found.

There are only more than 10,000 defeated soldiers left in the city, and the future is dark and bleak.

And the other side.

Ye Chen is in the army.

But it was a scene of great joy.

Ye Chen is in the main account.

"My lord, good news!"

"There's news from Ziyi."

"He has already robbed the food supplies of the three counties in Guangling!"

"Are you now preparing to escort the food and fodder back to the camp?" Hearing this.

Ye Chen nodded.

I pondered for a while.

Then he said to Zhao Yun.

"Order Taishi Ci not to return to camp!"

"Send someone to deliver Zang Hong's head to him."

"Let him persuade the three counties of Guangling to surrender!"

Now Zhang Chao was badly defeated.

It can be said that they no longer have the strength to fight back.

The three counties of Guangling no longer had the protection of Zhang Chao's troops.

It's just rootless duckweed.

They had no other choice but to surrender.

"As you command, my lord!"

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and accepted the order, then gave a few instructions to the messenger on the side.

He looked at Ye Chen again and asked.

"My lord, Zhang Chao has been badly defeated."

"The morale of the army is low. I think we can capture Guangling City in one fell swoop!"

Hear the words.

Ye Chen did not respond at first.

Siege battles have always been extremely brutal since ancient times.

Although Zhang Chao only had more than 10,000 remnant soldiers left.

But by defending the city, they could also stop the attack of more than 20,000 of them.

Want to reduce casualties.

The best way is to besiege the city.

Although they had already robbed the food and grass of the three counties of Guangling.

But who knows how much food is stored in Guangling City.

If we adopt the siege method, who knows how long it will take.

Zhao Yun saw the hesitation on Ye Chen's face.

asked tentatively.

"My lord, are you worried that there will be too many casualties in a forced attack?"

Hear what Zhao Yun said.

Dian Wei muttered to himself.

"Hey, I think the lord is worried about everything!"

"There will always be casualties in this war!"

"No, I, Dian Wei, will carry the ladder and lead the charge!"

"If you fail to take down Guangling City by then, I will bring my head to you!"

Dian Wei was sulking because he couldn't kill Zhang Chao.

Now we are going to attack Guangling City.

Naturally, I volunteered.

Ye Chen gave Dian Wei a displeased look.

"It's just you!"

"Get out of here right now. I'm upset just by seeing you!"

Dian Wei scratched his head and walked out of the tent cursing.

Today's siege battle.

Due to the lack of siege equipment, the general attack method is very simple.

Either digging tunnels or flooding.

Then there were catapults or people carrying ladders, using human wave tactics to attack.

In Ye Chen's opinion.

If Zhang Chao and his men fought to the death.

Want to take Guangling City.

They lost at least five thousand.

At this moment.

Ye Chen couldn't help but think.

It would be nice if the reputation mall could refresh a mountain cannon.

If there is a mountain cannon.

There's no need to go through so much trouble.

Ye Chen recalled some classic siege battles in history.

Don't tell me yet.

He really thought of a solution.

then.

He looked at Zhao Yun beside him and asked quickly.

"Zilong, how many Zhang Chao soldiers and horses have we captured this time!"

Zhao Yun thought about it secretly.

"Report to the lord!"

"Eight thousand for one public servant, but two thousand of them are injured!"

"Six thousand people!"

"That's enough!"

Ye Chen did some calculations.

"So, these six thousand soldiers will be well fed and well fed for the next few days!"

"The food they provide is of a lower standard than ours!"

"And then they don't have to do anything!"

"Let them cut down trees as hard as they can. Cut down as much as they can!"

Hear this.

Zhao Yun was dumbfounded.

I don't understand what the lord means.

The captured soldiers of Zhang Chao were given a lower standard of food than their own.

This treatment is too good.

Although it doesn’t mean that we can eat meat every meal.

That means you see meat every day!

What's the point of feeding them so well?
As for letting them cut down trees every day.

Zhao Yun was even more confused.

Ye Chen didn't explain either.

He picked up the pen and started writing and drawing on the brocade.

Soon, a sketch was drawn.

"Zilong, look, we have this Lu Gong car!"

"How difficult is it to capture Guangling City?"

Zhao Yun saw the blueprint of Lu Gongche.

His eyes lit up.

I was sincerely impressed by Ye Chen.

My lord is truly a god!
They can even come up with such a powerful siege weapon!
