Chapter 1119 The arrow on the string must be heard(1/2)
After hearing this, Lu Bu became cold and said: "Now that things are like this, there is still such a plan?! His head is going to be taken, and the city is also going to be taken! Today Bu is scheduled to go to the emperor to listen, how can he stop it?! Go!
Tell him to stop playing tricks! He alone today can't quell the anger of our army's casualties!"
Before Lu Xian could stop him, the scout had already obeyed the order and left. Lu Xian smiled and didn't call him back. That's all. Now that the matter has reached this point, there is no point in playing those false benevolence and righteousness.
Siege is important!
It’s nothing more than a fight to the death.
"Cao's soldiers must be resisting. After the city is broken, the whole army will attack and kill!" Lu Xian said. Before the situation is controlled on the battlefield, showing kindness to the enemy is tantamount to suicide. If this so-called kindness is not played well,
It is easy to become the next Song Xianggong. Song Xianggong is the kind of person who is kind on the battlefield and cruel in politics. Of course he also has his own ideals, but in the context of that era, his idealism seems so...
He was so stupid that he played himself to death in the end. Mao Zedong commented that Song Xianggong was a stupid pig-like figure. Lu Xian agreed with this point. Of course, in terms of personal experiences, I sympathized with Song Xianggong very much. This guy, what should I say?
However, he was too idealistic and wanted to use the Shang Dynasty model to rule the princes of the Zhou Dynasty at that time, but his attempt failed.
Lu Xian sympathizes with this man, but never agrees with many of his practices and views. From the perspective of a third person, of course we can sympathize with human beings, but it does not mean that we should become the person we sympathize with, or agree with
What they do.
"Yes!" The Xuzhou army's momentum was like a bell. Like tigers and wolves, their momentum was overwhelming, frightening Cao's army on the city!
The scouts brought Lu Bu's words to him. Guo Jia was silent for a long time and murmured: "Although Jia knows that only one man can defeat the enemy, he still hopes to gain some time in this situation!"<
/p>
The generals of Cao's army all looked ugly and said angrily: "Military, at this moment, even if you surrender to them and flatter them, you will not be able to escape the danger of attacking the city. In this case, our army will fight to the end, so why should the military strategist surrender?
It tells them to look down upon our army because they are afraid of death and have to give up their military strategy!"
Guo Jia said to the scout: "Ask Marquis Wen how to avoid attacking the city and how to calm down the anger?!"
The scout quickly replied: "Marquis Wen said that if you put down your weapons, open the city gates, and surrender the city, you can avoid the siege!"
Guo Jia's face twitched slightly. This was also his bottom line. If he led his army to surrender, what would be the difference between welcoming Lu Bu into the city?! Doesn't he want to lose face?! Does Cao Cao not want to lose face?!
What is the difference between this and Cao Cao's surrender?
"If you go back to Marquis Wen, you can die, but you can't open the city gate." Guo Jiadao.
"Then there's no need to talk. Let's just fight." Lu Xian said: "Anyway, the final result is the same!"
"The emperor wants to surrender, the city must be attacked, and our army also wants Guo Jia's head!" Lu Xian said: "The arrow is on the string, so we have to shoot it!"
Lu Bu couldn't wait to give the order: "Attack the city gate!"
The flag is raised high, the drums are beating aggressively, igniting fires, aiming at the target. Boom!
It was the sound of thunder and fire-like impact hitting the city gate. The city gate of Xudu was made of copper and iron. It was very thick and very strong. However, no matter how strong it was, it still needed people to defend it, and the damage caused by this attack
The force and impact of the explosion are great, including the heat, which can steam people to death.
Although there were many soldiers at the gate of Xudu City, they were all blown away when the shock wave came. Some of them vomited blood on the spot, lost their hearing, struggled to get up, and collapsed. Across the city gate, there were no
Direct damage, but this kind of indirect damage can also be fatal, especially the soldiers beside the city gate who were directly injured by the heat, or were scalded, or died. Some even had their eye membranes damaged and were directly blinded.
.
The sound of wailing followed by the earthquake made the entire Xudu city tremble.
No one has any ability to stop it.
General Cao Jun's eyes turned red when he saw this. He personally led the people down to the city, then dragged the people away and found a lot of tools to block the city gate. He knew clearly that it was only a matter of time and it was all in vain. However, no one
Willing to give up. Although these so-called tools are of no use at all with the addition and use of natural methods. However, Cao Jun still desperately used things to block and block the killing.
"Fight the Xuzhou army!" Cao Jun roared, with red eyes, defending their city. Because they knew that there was no way to retreat. Once the city was broken, their few remaining people would not be enough to fight against the Xuzhou army.
When soldiers fight, they will definitely be at a disadvantage, and the only thing they can rely on is the city wall.
It's not that they don't want to go out of the city to fight the Xuzhou Army, but that their troops are too small and cannot meet the conditions for fighting out of the city.
Most of the soldiers and horses have gone out to fight. Although those who stayed in Xudu are elites, there are too few soldiers and they are a drop in the bucket compared to the Xuzhou soldiers. Moreover, many of them were sent out, and many sacrifices were made at the pass and in the valley.
With so few troops, their strength has been drastically reduced, and they can no longer even perform the most basic form of warfare. They have only the city wall behind them for protection.
"Keep firing, don't stop!" Lu Xian looked at the situation and said, "Don't get close to the city wall. Guo Jia has prepared a lot of kerosene on the city wall. Once our army gets close, there will be close damage."
After hearing this, Lu Bu frowned and said, "What if they have to pour kerosene on them when they enter the city?!"
"Find out their kerosene and burn it together." Lu Xian said: "Father, don't be anxious. We want this city, but we don't want it urgently. Attack slowly. The gate will definitely not be defended. Our army only needs
Don't be too hasty and just enter the city. They can't wear down our army."
Lu Bu nodded and waited patiently.
Because this is Xudu, the siege battle is different from the conventional siege method. If they are nearby and there are many soldiers and horses, there is no need to attack in such a hurry. They can besiege for three to five months, and even besiege
The three- to five-year-old type is very common in wars. Basically, you surround yourself without fighting, wait for the people in the city to eat each other, collapse on their own, and naturally win the city without fighting. This is basically a routine operation. It's all about the strong versus the weak.
The attacking method of one side.
And there are also small countries or small princes who refuse to surrender for three to five years. Even if they eat each other, they still want to buy time for the enemy to retreat without fighting. In order not to destroy the country and the ancestral hall, they are willing to wait for anything.
Can be patient.
However, this is not possible for Xu.
Because the Emperor is here, once Lu Bu surrounds Cao Cao without killing him, it is not Cao Cao who is surrounding him, but the Emperor, which is a crime. The longer the delay, the more troublesome it will be. If the delay is longer and the victory has not been defeated, the variables will become greater.
Da, wait for other princes to react, and once momentum builds up to come to Xudu to save the country, for example, Liu Bei can use this to unite the princes to attack Lu Bu, which is dangerous.
Of course, saving the emperor or the country is actually a name, but with this name, Liu Bei may do this. In essence, they are fighting for territory and power, and saving the city and the emperor is just a name, and this
Isn’t fame an opportunity for Liu Bei?!
He will definitely do this, but right now he lacks some righteous reputation to unite forces. If there is such an opportunity to take over Xudu, can he not take advantage of the chaos?!
Except for Liu Bei, the other princes and local forces, large and small, have not yet been completely settled. Once they react and surround them, Lu Bu, like Dong Zhuo, will definitely be in trouble.
No matter how fat a horse is, it can't stand the swarms of large and small ants biting it, and it will really bite it to death.
Therefore, not only must the decision be made quickly, but also the decision must be made quickly. Because once the decision cannot be made, the troops must withdraw. Otherwise, you will wait to be surrounded and killed.
Moreover, Cao Cao has already returned reinforcements, so the variables are actually huge.
This is why Lu Xian used the power of this cheating device. Otherwise, she would not want to use the modified power in the siege battle.
However, Cao Cao cannot retreat, and their father and daughter cannot lose.
On top of the fire, you can only move forward, not backward.
If the attack on Xudu fails, won't the consequences be serious? Once the attack fails, retreating can indeed preserve the power of Xuzhou.
But Xuzhou has actually been in crisis since the last battle between Cao and Lu, and it was saved at that time. However, if Cao Cao is given time, he will definitely spare no effort to kill Xuzhou.
Xuzhou's terrain is still a bit inferior to war terrain.
Now that Yuan Shao has been destroyed, all that is left is the redistribution of the Yuan family's power. These are just things that take time and are not urgent. But if Cao Cao is given time to react and Yuan Shao's back trouble has been eliminated, he will definitely fight for his life.
He will also fight with Xuzhou. Once he is trapped in Xuzhou, he will seal Yanzhou. Haha, Cao Cao will continue to be powerful, and Sima Yi will really become an enclave, and he can develop in Jizhou.
And how many years will it take for their father and daughter to come to the Central Plains again and capture Xudu, even Yanzhou and other places?!
In other words, is there still such an opportunity? Will Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sima Yi give them this opportunity?!
Will we have to be forced to go to sea in the end?!
By then, if you think about it with your feet, you will know that these three forces will definitely trap Xuzhou to death.
There is a sea outside Xuzhou. As long as the west side is blocked and there is no natural danger to defend it, then just wait for death. In less than ten years, it will be over!
Therefore, the trend of war is nothing but an opportunity. If you lose this opportunity, you may lose ten, twenty, or thirty years. Of course, even if you have good internal development and can still resist, it will be consumed from time to time.
Fighting can drag down Xuzhou's strength bit by bit. It doesn't even have to be a rush, it just needs to be eaten away slowly. No matter how strong the soldiers are in Xuzhou, how abundant the harvest is, all other industries will be strong, and no matter how developed the business is.
, cannot stop this general trend.
This is reality, this is the power of momentum. This is what the Song Dynasty was like in later generations. Is it just a piece of land that lost a piece of land? No, it can no longer stop the trend of being forced to go south.
Therefore, Lu Xian never thought about procrastination. She could lose or die, but when she didn't lose or die, she had to make breakthroughs and forge ahead, instead of just being complacent in Xuzhou's territory and just holding on to progress.
In the end, he just ended up with the same fate as Liu Biao.
Liu Biao only wanted to defend Jingxiang. Did he defend it in the end? If he didn't advance, he would die. He is a hero of this era. Liu Biao lost Xiangdi, which also means that he began to shrink. Even if everything in Jingzhou was too developed, he could not stop this process.
.
This process is actually extremely cruel.
Lu Xian has always been very clear-headed. She must quickly capture Xudu, and then destroy almost all of Cao Cao's power. Then she can negotiate with Cao Cao, and the two of them will decide the outcome of the world. Only by joining forces can the world be temporarily restored.
Then restore the temporary balance.
And relying solely on the strength of their father and daughter is definitely not enough. Because Lu Bu is not enough to convince people at the moment.
If you don't want to be destroyed by the world, you can't kill Cao Cao for the time being. Because even if you kill Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Xuzhou, you won't be able to control the north for the time being. If you don't want to be suppressed, you can only rely on force to suppress it. However, the force of force suppresses one wave after another.
Once it starts, it will never end. This is still too much pressure for Xuzhou now.
Lu Xian's strategy is very clear. If you get the emperor, you will have the right to speak. Negotiate with Cao Cao, serve the emperor together, calm people's hearts and the north, and temporarily put peace to rest.
People should recognize their own strength, carry on, don't spit out what they should eat, and don't touch everything they can't swallow for the time being. Otherwise, they will either starve to death or starve to death. There is no middle way to choose.
