Chapter 265 Liangzhou Army Attacks Gucheng (3)
But the reality is that things are impossible, they are impossible. So he definitely won’t think about it too well. Now the Liangzhou army is attacking his own city so fiercely. He is not as powerful as the other person’s Hangu Pass and Hongnong City. So Cao Hong just thinks that he should “take one step and look one step”. Yes, otherwise, what else can he do? Zhang Ren’s comprehensive strength is indeed higher than himself and stronger than himself. The Liangzhou army is even more powerful than his own.
Qiang, the Yanzhou soldiers and horses here are not as good as those of Hangu Pass and Hongnong City, so... Cao Hong knew this, so he really tried his best to defend the city. As for other things, he could not take care of them, and many times, it was indeed the case. Just look at the status of the Liangzhou army, they must have thought about the early days.
After destroying one's city, the soldiers were just as good as others in terms of their state and morale. Cao Hong also had a headache about this, but he had no good idea. Even at this time, he forced Zhang Ren to retreat. But Cao Hong also knew that just once, Ma Chao would never be able to withdraw his troops. His habit was that he was three times, but it was not just him, he just said that his lord and Sun Ce,
It's all used to it. So after he defeated him, Zhang Ren three times, the Liangzhou army would have to withdraw the troops. Zhang Ren was defeated, but for him, this was as expected. After all, although Cao Hong's ability was slightly inferior to himself, he didn't say it was a big difference, and that was not. So he knew that the other party could compete with him. The key was that at this time, there were many soldiers in Yanzhou at the top of their city, and there were few soldiers in Liangzhou at the top of their city. This was the most critical thing.
So Zhang Ren naturally adjusted immediately and continued to lead troops to attack. After two times, he also went up, but he was forced back by Cao Hong and Yanzhou soldiers on the front of the city. Ma Chao, who was watching the battle behind, asked the soldiers to sing gold. Ma Chao was naturally satisfied with the three times today. He knew it a long time ago that Zhang Ren was better than Cao Hong. But no matter what, the other person's Gucheng still had a chance to see him.
There are five thousand regular troops of Yanzhou Army, which is definitely our strong enemy. You know, our side has not many troops now, only more than 30,000, and not more than 40,000. After all, in Hongnong City, I left another 5,000 troops, so at this time, the troops I brought were only more than six times the Yanzhou army on the top of the city, and I didn’t have much advantage. If we had one hundred thousand
For people, then it has a great advantage in numbers. However, he asked Zhang Xiu to lead the troops to come to him, so he really didn't have many people here. In Ma Chao's opinion, it wasn't that he didn't want Zhang Xiu to meet him at all. He really felt that letting him train was better than being here. And letting him lead the army alone was considered to be a contribution to him. That's what Ma Chao meant. After all, he was the eldest brother of Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun, and this relationship was actually very important.
Yes. At least Ma Chao knew that Zhang Ren had basically no contact with others, but he had indeed been much closer to his senior brother Zhang Xiu and his junior brother Zhao Yun than to him. That's it. So Ma Chao naturally had to pay attention to this relationship. Maybe Zhang Xiu still couldn't persuade Zhang Ren. After all, Zhang Xiu has been to his side for a few years, but he didn't say he was persuaded.
Zhang Ren is the main focus of his own. Ma Chao is not just relying on this, and there is also the relationship between Tong Yuan. Zhao Yun is his brother-in-law or a general, and there is no need to say that he is taking care of him. Zhang Ren has not yet become his lord, so he is also working hard. Zhang Xiu said that he is capable and loyal, so he can naturally use him. Not to mention anything else, it depends on his disciple of Tong Yuan, so he has to use it a little more. After all, Ma Chao was assigned by Tong Yuan, which is also a kindness.
Then he also let Zhao Yun contact him, and Ma Chao understood. Ma Chao has always been clear about grudges and grudges. He will repay you with grudges. Of course, if there is grudge, he will also find an opportunity to repay others' favors. Maybe others are not counting on you to repay you. Ma Chao understands. But how to say that, no matter what the other party thinks, at least he has received favors from others, he cannot express it without any expression. The ancients advocated that "a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water." This is the style of the ancients. Ma Chao thought that it should be like this, and it is right.
Ma Chao wanted to repay Tong Yuan, but he didn't know where he went. To be honest, Ma Chao thought that Tong Yuan was broken into the void. After all, with his ability, it was really impossible to talk about it. So he didn't have to look for him, but he only had three apprentices in total, so he had to take care of him no matter how he said it. As I said before, Zhao Yun didn't need to say much, so Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu,
The two of them, one is to give them a headache, and the other is indeed not paying much attention to this period of time. So Ma Chao meant that he wanted Zhang Xiu to lead the army alone and go out to fight. As for the result, it doesn't matter, even if the entire army is wiped out, he will just transfer troops from other places. He has nothing else, but his money and food are much more than Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army.
So if there are more money and food, there will naturally be no shortage of people. This is inevitable. Therefore, even if there are more than 100,000 people, you will not be able to afford it. Of course, this can only be said to be once, but if it is like this every time, it will not work for you. That is not true, you will lose more than 100,000 every time, and there are not many people in the world. Originally, the population of the great man was still good, but because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the severe drought for several years, it turned out to be like this now. Of course, it is also inevitable that the sky will be the case.
The following is the battle between the princes, and the population can only be smaller and smaller. No matter how many wars, the more people fight, the more people fight? That's just a joke, so whether it's Ma Chao, Cao Cao and Sun Ce, they encourage the people under their rule to have children. They encourage more children, but only Ma Chao is different from them. Ma Chao also encourages more children, but unlike them, they encourage early marriage and early birth
Yu. Ma Chao felt that after the age of eighteen, it would be easy to have too many problems if they were early. Indeed, even in this era, the human body structure is actually no different from the human body structure in later generations, and they are both the same. So Ma Chao naturally knew that if you give birth and early childbirth, it would be bad for women. Can he not understand this? However, the people of this era do not understand, but Ma Chao cannot explain it either.
It is clear, so I can only say that I try to encourage and then give me rewards. He thinks that he can only do this. He is not a medical practitioner, so how can he know so much. So now that Ma Chao thinks that even if it is good, at least he can do what he can do. If you ask yourself to explain that thing, how can you know so much? So yes, he can only do this, nothing else. Ma Chao asked the soldiers to sing gold, Liangzhou army withdraw, and Zhang Ren leads his troops to retreat. Yes, although he
I also think that today's performance is OK, but facing Cao Hong, who is a little worse than me, Zhang Ren feels that he may be able to perform better. He suffered a loss or was on the Yanzhou soldiers, which is certain. Even if they are not in full shape, even if they fail to exert ten percent of their combat power, even if their morale is indeed not as good as their own. But so many people deal with themselves,
That was really enough, enough. I was too, and I really let them, Cao Hong lead the people and defeat him for twenty rounds. This was not his own ability, but his Yanzhou soldiers who made contributions. After returning, Ma Chao praised Zhang Ren. This was different from yesterday. After all, his performance today is remarkable, and this is indeed obvious to all. Not to mention Ma Chao, even the rest of the Liangzhou Army, it was not that he didn't see it, right? So no one has any opinions.
After his lord said, Ma Chao said a few more words, which was definitely more than yesterday. After all, the day before, it was just a tentative attack, nothing else. Speaking of which, the result of the tentative was fine, but Zhang Ren's performance was not as good as today. This is the first official attack today. Zhang Ren performed well, and Ma Chao was satisfied. And seeing everyone like that, they obviously couldn't say anything. Yes, it was still the same thing. When Zhang Ren performed well, no one would say much, but once he performed this way
No, if it's like that for several days, someone will say something. When I think about it, it's actually normal, right? After Ma Chao finished speaking, he sent everyone away. Of course, everyone listened before, but no one said anything. But when they needed to nod, they all agreed in unison, that's it. And at this moment, they really didn't say much now.
I just thought about when the troops could reach Luoyang, and then I would definitely encounter Zhang Xiu's men. It was just a matter of time. However, everyone didn't think that Zhang Xiu had just run to the front of him. The probability was very small, so they didn't think that it would be like that. Because the greater possibility was that he would run to him and after he arrived in Luoyang, Zhang Xiu would go to the front of him.
It was the biggest possibility that he brought the troops to come. It was not that he, Zhang Xiu, came to Luoyang and his last arrival. In that case, it would put everyone's face, right? So many people, and his lord were there, they actually fell behind Zhang Xiu. This incident made them think about it. It was indeed embarrassing, so they would never let such a thing happen, which was not supposed to be. Another day of attack, in fact, for the Liangzhou army or the Yanzhou army, it was a new day.
It was also the siege battle that started. But both of them were under pressure. In comparison, the Liangzhou army could be slightly less than the Yanzhou army. The pressure of the Liangzhou army was not directly given by the Yanzhou army, but mainly because they felt that their own side had gone from 100,000 to less than 40,000, and they faced the 5,000 Yanzhou army. To be honest, even if they were more than six times that of their own,
They knew that there was really no big advantage, and they knew it in their hearts. It was Cao Hong, who was not a general to defend the city. If it were Huo Jun who was guarding Jiangling back then, then he would want to rely on more than 30,000 people to win a city guarded by 5,000 people, then it was really a dream! Anyway, with Huo Jun here, don't think about it. But fortunately, that person is no longer here, how about it
However, it doesn't have to cause much trouble to our side. This is what many soldiers of the Liangzhou Army think. In their opinion, even though it is Zhangu City, the city has few people and generals are not as good as General Zhang Ren, they are also under pressure, but they are smaller than Yanzhou Army, that's it. In comparison, the Yanzhou Army has greater pressure than them. After all, their troops are only 5,000, and their number is not as good as the Liangzhou Army, which is not superior. In other aspects, although this is
But our general, General Cao Hong, is not as good as the enemy general Zhang Ren, so this is actually not superior. That is, our side has a city as a support and there are many city defenses, which can resist the Liangzhou army. At least at this moment, there is no problem. But our own combat power, our own morale, etc., is indeed not comparable to others, so the Yanzhou army is under pressure
It's getting bigger. Yes, this city doesn't have to be defended by one side, but as long as the general does not retreat with him or her, he will always be guarding the city unless the city is broken. After all, they have been in contact with Cao Hong for many years, and some soldiers have even been longer, so naturally they know how Cao Hong is a general. Before the city is broken, he will never lead his troops to retreat. So as long as the city is broken,
As long as the city is broken, it is guaranteed that he will run faster than anyone else. Of course, as the general of Gucheng, he will definitely run away with his own soldiers, that's it. So the soldiers of Yanzhou Army also have to worry. Don't you have to stand until the city is broken before you can retreat? It would be strange to say that some soldiers of the Yanzhou Army think so that Gucheng can still be defended. However, Cao Hong didn't know, because what he thought was to try to hold the Liangzhou Army and prevent them from going to Luo.
Yang, that's it. But he also knew that Luoyang didn't care how long it had been to hold the Liangzhou army. He might even think that the sooner the Liangzhou army arrived at them, the better. After all, Luoyang does not have much food and grass, but at least he would not give up Luoyang and would have to transport food and grass to them. Therefore, he would not say that it was lacking. But overall, the food and grass were tight
So naturally, they wanted the Liangzhou army to go away sooner, and at least the food and grass could be consumed less. Isn’t that? If the Liangzhou army has never gone to Luoyang, then the food and grass can only be consumed slowly.
