Chapter 83: Resist Cao Cao, never stop
After entering the military tent, Gao Shun briefly explained the situation on the front line. Most of the information was obtained from the wounded prisoners in the night attack, such as how many soldiers and horses there were in Guangling City, their combat strength, and how many generals Sun Ce had brought.
Come here.
This information was still very important to Lu Bu. He nodded and said: "This is a good job. Record the merits of the soldiers in the merit book and receive rewards after the war."
"Here."
After Gao Shun retreated, Liu Ye, who was itching and unbearable, stood up with a smile and said, "Marquis Wen, I rushed to build eight Thunderbolt Chariots overnight, and they are ready to help at any time."
"Okay!"
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, he pulled Lin Mo beside him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Everyone followed Liu Ye's footsteps to the back camp, where there were already two rows of tall Thunderbolt chariots.
Different from the time in Lujiang, this time Liu Ye installed wheels under the Pili car to facilitate pushing it to the battlefield.
"Zi Yang, Guangling will have to rely on your Thunderbolt Chariot in this matter."
Lu Bu looked at the Thunderbolt Chariots with his arms folded, his eyes unable to conceal his eagerness, "Let the soldiers rest for two days, and drive to Guangling City in two days!"
"Here!" Xu Sheng bowed at the side.
"Have someone push these thunder carts to the front camp." After Lu Bu finished speaking, Liu Ye called on the soldiers to take action.
Each of these thunderbolt cars weighed a thousand kilograms, and more than 20 people gathered around and began to push them forward.
Eight Thunderbolt cars started moving at the same time, and the scene was quite spectacular.
Boom~
An embarrassing scene occurred. Because there were several depressions in the grass inside the camp, the wheels became unable to move after they sunk in.
In fact, those pits are not deep, it's just because the Pili car is too heavy, and it will get stuck once it sinks into it.
Liu Ye glanced at Lu Bu with some embarrassment, smiled and waved, "Here comes another team, push quickly!"
A Thunderbolt Car was surrounded by more than 50 people. Amidst the bursts of slogans, it could not be pushed out for a long time. Lu Bu laughed dryly and said, "This Thunderbolt Car is still too bulky."
A Thunderbolt vehicle like this requires a lot of investment, but it can only walk on flat ground. If it encounters complex terrain, it will affect the speed of the army and even delay the fighter plane. This flaw is still a bit big.
Lin Mo squatted down, scanned the bottom structure of the Pili car, and quickly came to a conclusion.
This situation is a bearing problem. Adding springs to the bottom of the tank should be able to reduce the occurrence of similar situations.
Anyway, my father-in-law also said that we have to wait for two days, and it is still very easy to get a few springs.
"Is there a way to solve it?" After catching the change in Lin Mo's expression, Lu Bu came over and asked.
Liu Ye also came closer. He had heard that Lin Mo was good at the art of magic and wanted to hear his wise words.
"If I want to improve the bottom of the chariot, I'll just find a few craftsmen later."
"Is it that easy?"
Seeing that Lin Mo said it so lightly, Liu Ye was a little doubtful about life, and muttered: "I want to go and have a look too."
"Chariots are related to siege, it's up to you." Of course, Lu Bu was very confident about Lin Mo, and he didn't follow him out of curiosity to take a look. After all, he had more important things to do.
Lin Mo and Liu Ye went to find the craftsmen, and Lu Bu took Xu Sheng and others on horseback to Guangling City to survey the terrain and city defenses.
Knowing oneself, knowing the enemy, and understanding the geographical advantages are essential lessons on the eve of every war.
At this time, Guangling City had already raised the pontoon bridge and closed the gate tightly, as if to defend to the death.
After walking around the city, Lu Bu had a rough idea. The city was four feet high, had a moat, and the city defense was as solid as Pengcheng. Thirteen thousand people were stationed there. To attack by force, it would take 30,000 to 50,000 people.
However, the terrain outside the city is open and there are no tributaries of rivers crisscrossing it, making it very suitable for cavalry operations.
This battle really depends on the performance of the Thunderbolt Car.
"Marquis Wen, I heard that Sun Ce relies on his bravery and will take the lead in every battle to strengthen the morale of the army. You can try to send people to call for battle at the gate of the city." Lu Bu glanced at Xu Sheng and smiled lightly.
Calling the formation in front of the gate is a routine often used when attacking a city. There is nothing new. All kinds of insults under the gate can sway the enemy's morale to a certain extent.
Every time someone mentions it, Lu Bu will always think of the image of him standing with a halberd and a horse in front of the 18-way coalition of princes, shouting. Lu Bu is among the people, and the red rabbit is among the horses. This is where it all started.
Because he wanted to draw a map to facilitate combat, Lu Bu circled the city twice and walked the entire ten-mile radius. He knew where there were depressions, dense forests, and water systems.
After doing all this, when we returned to the military camp, it was already dark.
He was not in a hurry to have a meal and wanted to see Gan Ning's condition, so he even pulled Lin Mo along with him.
"Yun Wen, I am not as good as you in terms of vertical and horizontal control, military planning and planning, but you can't lead an army like this. The fact that you want to severely punish Xingba in front of all the generals today is inappropriate.
You spent so much effort to recruit him, and he also remembers your kindness in his heart, but what happened today is quite humiliating.
His people are all water bandits and are not good at land warfare. This is what you said yourself. Moreover, it is the first time to fight. Facing the cavalry to rob the camp, they will inevitably be confused.
If there is a similar situation in the future, you should at least discuss it with me in private. Once everyone is looking directly at it, I cannot be biased."
On the way, Lu Bu taught Lin Mo like a strict and sincere father.
In his opinion, Lin Mo should be a little eager to gain authority in the army, so he took Gan Ning for treatment.
The idea is good, but the approach is wrong.
Lin Mo didn't explain, he just nodded in agreement.
When he arrived at Gan Ning's military tent, he lay down on the couch, revealing his fleshy and bright red back, which was a little leaky.
"Marquis Wen, sir..."
Gan Ning helped Gan Ning to stand up and salute, but Lu Bu pushed him down, "Okay, don't show off. I have already blamed Yunwen for what happened today. Don't hold it against yourself."
"What did Marquis Wen say? Before the expedition, the last general once said that if Gan Ning was defeated, he would have to bear the punishment of forty military sticks." Gan Ning was seriously injured and it was difficult to speak.
"Xingba, I won't tell you more. Today everyone in the army knows about this, and more people will know about it in the future. So, I think you should be jealous." Lin
Mo sat next to Gan Ning and blew the wind with his hands to make his back feel more comfortable.
"Sir, what do you mean by this?" Gan Ning glanced at Lu Bu, a little confused.
"It's nothing. You won't receive these forty military sticks in vain. I will give you a military merit."
These words made both Gan Ning and Lu Bu more and more suspicious. Gan Ning even wanted to get up, but then he lay down again because of the heartbreaking pain in his back, "Sir... Could it be that you are planning to surrender by suffering the consequences?"
p>
Gan Ning's words made Lu Bu's eyes light up. Fake surrender is a good way, and it is still possible to fish Sun Ce out.
"It's just Sun Ce, why does the general need to suffer heartache?"
Lin Mo's eyes darkened slightly and he said in a deep voice: "To deal with an old fox like Cao Cao, it is too easy to see through what he does before the war, so we have to plan in advance."
Hearing this, both of their pupils suddenly gathered. Are they going to deal with Cao Cao?
In Guangling, Sun Ce has not retreated, but you are already thinking about the next war. A sense of horror rises in the hearts of both of you.
No wonder you are so abnormal today, insisting on making things difficult for Gan Xingba in front of everyone. You think you want to show off your authority to everyone. It turns out you want to show off to Cao Cao.
My son-in-law is very clever and very lovable.
"Xing Ba, you are the only general in the army who can shoulder this important task. I'm afraid there will be humiliation in the days to come. I hope you will bear with me."
No one is more qualified to do this than Gan Xingba.
He was a water bandit, and he acted recklessly. He was punished by military law because he failed to send troops to stop the hijacking of the camp. The thought of betraying his master in this kind of life is normal no matter how you look at it.
"Don't worry, sir, the general will know what to do!" Before this, Gan Ning was indeed a little unconvinced with Lin Mo, and he also felt that Lin Mo was trying to establish his power.
Now, after understanding the other party's intentions, I suddenly feel that the forty military sticks behind me are worth it.
The opponent is Cao Cao. If he can defeat the enemy with this, not to mention Po Tian's meritorious service, as an appreciated Chollima, he can be considered as repaying Lu Bu and his son-in-law for their kindness.
"Xing Ba, you can take care of yourself with peace of mind. I will avenge you for robbing the camp."
Knowing that his son-in-law had been strategizing against Cao Cao, Lu Bu felt that this little thing could no longer distract him, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't he called the Little Overlord of Jiangdong? Then let his Overlord Spear know me.
