Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 858: Hedong arrives (make up for noon)
"If the lord has three strengths and two weaknesses, only I, Lu Fengxian, have the ability to turn the tide."
Lü Bu summoned Li Jue, Guo Si and other generals from the original Dong Zhuo faction to discuss future affairs.
Old Qin still has no chance to determine the successor, all civil servants and generals are panicking.
As the number one general of the Lao Qin forces, Lu Bu is also the adopted son of Lao Qin. In theory, as long as he gets enough support, he will have the opportunity to inherit the Guanzhong forces.
Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Xiu and others looked at each other.
Originally, when they were under Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si had a higher status than Lü Bu, but Lü Bu's military exploits were higher than the two. In order to win over Lü Bu, Lao Qin's position was now higher than the two.
When Lao Qin was safe, he could control Lu Bu, but when Lao Qin was in a coma, Lu Bu had no one to order, and he became a force of his own.
A force needs to have its own generals. Gao Shun, the most skilled general under Lu Bu's command, was captured by Chutian, Zhang Liao betrayed, and Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and others were only third- and fourth-tier generals.
Lu Bu needs to win over Li Jue, Guo Si and others.
Lu Bu even found the original Xixia King Li Yuanhao, as well as Li Yuanhao's subordinates.
"Now that the King of Qin has not woken up, Xia's army is aggressive outside. If anything is to happen, he should immediately lead his troops to control Xianyang City and Chang'an City, and call on the troops and horses in Guanzhong and Xiliang to obey the orders. Even if the King of Qin wakes up by then, he has already It's a foregone conclusion."
Li Yuanhao encouraged Lv Bu to become the monarch.
As a descendant of the later stage, and a member of the party, the probability of Li Yuanhao inheriting the old Qin's foundation is almost zero.
So Li Yuanhao simply supported Lv Bu's seizure of power in exchange for his own status improvement, and was looking for an opportunity to restore his country in the future.
"If this happens, then I will name you the King of Yinchuan, Li Jue the King of Hongnong, Guo Si the King of Longxi, Zhang Xiu the King of Beidi, and Fan Chou the King of Anding... Do you have any objections?"
Lu Bu held Fang Tianhua halberd and glanced at the generals he had invited.
Li Jue and Guo Si also have ambitions, but in "Lord", Lv Bu's force is still very scary. They saw Lv Bu holding Fang Tianhua halberd and knew that Lv Bu didn't come to them to discuss at all, but to force their consent.
If Li Jue, Guo Si and the others do not agree, then in the next second, most of them will die under Lu Bu's Fang Tianhua halberd.
"So be it."
Li Jue's face was calm, but he was sweating profusely.
Puban City, Wu Qi's army has an unprecedented offensive, Wei Wuzu once again engaged in a tragic battle, Xiangyang artillery threw a large number of stones and fireballs, and the whole Puban City was shaking!
The stones piled up on the city walls, and the defenders didn't even have much place to stand.
Wang Jian, the general of the Qin army, defended the city. Guanzhong has already supported Wang Jian with 100,000 troops. Except for 30,000 of them who were defeated by Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun's white robe army, the remaining 70,000 troops entered Puban City.
Even so, Wang Jian is still under unimaginable pressure.
Saint-level commander Wu Qi has the characteristic "Scholars have no resistance to the North". Even in unfavorable situations such as lack of food or being besieged, they will not defect, become confused, retreat without authorization, and will not be affected by fear effects. Under no circumstances will it go below 50.
Therefore, the continuous combat capability of Wu Qi's army is terrifying.
As long as morale doesn't drop below 50, there are no negative effects.
The only way to restrict Wu Qi's army from slowing down the siege is to consume Wu Qi's army's stamina. Only if Wu Qi's army's stamina drops below 50, then Wu Qi's army has to slow down the speed of forcibly demolishing Puban City.
However, the recovery rate of morale drops is slow, and for elite divisions who often fight on the battlefield, their physical strength can recover to more than 80 or 90 after a day's rest, so Wu Qi only needs to split the army into three batches , took turns to attack the city, the offensive against Pubancheng continued, and the morale of the defenders of Pubancheng had dropped to an unsupportable level.
Even if Wang Jian, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, the morale of the defenders in Puban City dropped below 40, and the recovery speed was slow, it was difficult to turn the tide.
The more bad news is that his lord Jiujiu Lao Qin has fallen ill. Li Si, Jia Xu, and Xun Yu are currently in charge of the overall situation, and people are unstable.
Lu Bu and Li Yuanhao are all ambitious people, and they may become rebellious because of the lord's accident.
Such examples are not uncommon.
As soon as Qin Shi Huang died, the Qin Dynasty was in chaos.
Later Zhou Emperor Chai Rong died of illness, Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutiny, and the yellow robe was added.
Not to mention that Lao Qin has no children.
"Perhaps surrender is the most beneficial choice for me. But as a minister, I should do my best, and the lord has not died of illness, so how can I surrender without a fight? It's too shameful."
Wang Jian thought about it for a while, and finally decided that at least after it was confirmed that the lord had died, he could surrender.
No one knows if a miracle will happen.
"General, the two adults, Li Si and Jia Xu, have ordered General Meng Tian to meet him on the opposite bank of Puban City. The two adults suggested that the general withdraw to the Luoshui area. Puban City can no longer be defended."
When Wang Jian hesitated, Li Si and Jia Xu, who were in charge of the overall situation, recalled him.
Although it is difficult for Li Si and Jia Xu to become convincing successors, their ability to grasp the overall situation is quite amazing.
"The two of them must have known that our army's morale is unavailable, so they need to retreat to Luoshui to rest, withdraw their troops tonight, and make way for Hedong."
After Wang Jian's army was demoralized by Wu Qi's army, they had to escape from Puban City overnight. For the Qin army, it was undoubtedly a sigh of relief.
The next day, Wu Qi successfully entered Puban City and occupied the last city in Hedong County.
Puban City is close to the Yellow River, crossing the Yellow River is Guanzhong, so this city is a bridgehead for attacking Guanzhong.
Wu Qi also lived up to Chutian's expectations. The Battle of Hedong and the Battle of Western Liaoning ended almost at the same time, and he successfully won the important place of Hedong County for Chutian.
The Xia army did not need to assemble in Luoyang City, but in Puban City.
The important thing about Puban City is that Tongguan is to the south and Luoshui to the west, with the Yellow River in the middle. It is not far from Chang'an City and Xianyang City.
"In the Battle of Hedong, 100,000 Qin troops were wiped out, and our troops lost 80,000 due to the siege, most of which were low-level troops."
Wu Qi transferred a large number of low-level troops from Jizhou and Bingzhou as cannon fodder to attack the city, instead of taking the lead in considering Wei Wu's pawns, so the casualties appear to be almost the same as Wang Jian.
Wei Wuzu was used by Wu Qi in field battles. Generally speaking, low-level troops were used to deplete the number and morale of the defenders in siege.
"The King of Summer is here!"
Wu Qi had just entered Puban City, looking at the rolling waters of the Yellow River, Chu Tian had already emerged from the teleportation array in Puban City.
I have to say that the existence of the teleportation array makes the movement of troops and horses very fast.
Chu Tian was rich and powerful, and used the teleportation array directly when he went to various places. He learned that Wu Qi had captured Puban City, so he went directly to Puban City to fight against the front line of the Guanzhong Army.
If there were no teleportation formations, it would probably take several months for Chutian to travel from Liaoxi to Hedong.
Chu Tian met Wu Qi, as well as Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun who cooperated with Wu Qi to capture Hedong County.
Putting down the east of the river is also a great achievement.
"Sili has seven counties, of which Hanoi County, Hedong County, and Henan Yin have been captured by our army, and only Hongnong County, Zuo Fengling, Jingzhao Yin, and You Fufeng are left. In Nong County, I personally led a large army to cross the Yellow River in the west and then across the Luo River. A branch of the army crossed the Yellow River in the south, attacked Tongguan, opened up the mountain road between Chang'an and Luoyang, and joined forces at Chang'an. This arrangement is the most secure."
Chu Tian's troops are divided into two groups~IndoMTL.com~ will not give Qin Jun a chance.
The Guanzhong Army is different from the Liaodong Army.
The main force of the Guanzhong army has not been completely crippled in the Mangshan Battle. After the old Qin Gui retreated to Guanzhong, this period of time was enough to recruit a group of new soldiers to supplement the force.
If the lone army goes deep, and the Yellow River is behind it, it is difficult for the Xia army to get support, and there is a certain probability that they will be besieged in Guanzhong.
Assign a partial division to attack Tongguan and open up the passage between Luoyang and Luoyang, then the army from Luoyang can enter Guanzhong continuously, and cooperate with the Xia army from Hedong to attack Chang'an City.
At this time, the importance of Wu Qi's insistence on taking Pubancheng was highlighted.
To capture Puban City, you can cross the Yellow River south and attack Tongguan from behind, which is undoubtedly much less difficult than attacking Tongguan from the front.
In addition, the defenders in the Luoyang direction can send an army to attack from both sides, forcing the Tongguan defenders to surrender.
This is why some cities must be captured.
