In the lobby, the ten captains of the Lu Wu Army all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. They could only communicate with each other from the corners of their eyes, frantically gesturing to each other to quickly speak up and defend themselves so that the general could calm down.
"you say."
"you say."
"You are the boss and you don't tell me?"
"You just accomplished the task of destroying the city, and you didn't tell me?"
"I don't dare to stand up."
"The general is very angry. If you don't dare to speak out, how dare I?"
"————"
After everyone played a fierce game with their eyes, an unlucky guy was pushed out.
"General, it only took one hour for our army to capture Xingding County. This is a rare victory in siege battles. Although the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, it is inevitable - we can wait in the city Recruiting soldiers and replenishing manpower during the surrender will not affect the attack on the city and the stronghold below."
The unlucky man who was pushed out was named Yuan Gu, and he was the captain in charge of the second wave of siege. With the help of the twenty-four guards under Lu Wu, he successfully captured the city and made a great contribution. This credit was somewhat deserved. It was easy, so he was pushed out by the captains as a scapegoat.
"Are the casualties of the soldiers heavy? Recruiting troops to replenish the manpower? Hahaha, you really have the third taste of military strategists, and you always keep in mind the saying that 'kindness does not lead to soldiers'." Lu Wu sneered.
"Don't forget, you were all promoted from the ranks of soldiers by a certain family! Those soldiers are your robes. On that day, a certain family promised the soldiers to 'share wealth and honor'. Do you think that certain family just said it casually?"
Yuan Gu did not dare to raise his head and defended in a low voice: "General, the siege of Ant Fu has caused the heaviest casualties since ancient times. The general has no choice - the general himself also climbed the ladder and did not despise the lives of his brothers. mean."
"Huh?" Lu Wu recalled it, and it seemed that the captain had indeed climbed up the ladder, but only after he had sent his guards to establish a foothold at the top of the city.
Although Lu Wu was reincarnated, he was no longer a magic weapon spirit/extraterrestrial demon, but his soul had not been washed away by the underworld, and his essence was still far beyond ordinary people. He could also do such things as photographic memory, but under normal circumstances, he could not Such a waste of brain resources - compared to his soul, the hardware of the brain can't keep up.
The brain capacity of ordinary people is limited. Forgetting is a kind of protection for the brain, but things that just happened during the day have not yet been eliminated by the brain.
So even if Lu Wu didn't pay attention deliberately, as long as he thought about it, he could still play back the scenes during the day like watching a movie.
Lu Wu's face improved a little and he asked: "In your opinion, how can we reduce the casualties of soldiers during a siege?"
"This - unless there is an internal response in the city, it is impossible to reduce casualties." Yuan Gu racked his brains and could only come up with the internal response.
The book of war says it well: "The first is to attack the enemy with the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, and the third is to attack the city."
Siege is the cruelest meat grinder. This is a saying summarized by military strategists for hundreds of years. It is not easy for him, a captain who was born as a soldier, to come up with an internal strategy. He cannot ask for too much.
————————————————
Xingding County was originally not so difficult to attack.
The counties in Yuci Prefecture decided to send a message because Lu Wu was famous for being fierce, and the general Pan Fu who was in charge of Tonghe Prefecture was defeated and died. There were no reinforcements outside Yuci Prefecture, and even the prefectural city was lost, so the counties did not dare to resistance.
But isn’t Xingding County afraid of Lu Wu?
It was not because all the counties in Yuci Prefecture had surrendered. The Tonghe Prefecture Administrative Brigade was so angry that they sent their confidants to the counties to supervise the army. These people did not seize the military power, but were just around for the county captains, magistrates and others. A group of close guards were added - those who dared to surrender would be killed on the spot.
As for the big families in the city, they were ordered to hand over all their private soldiers and obey orders uniformly.
Therefore, even if Lu Wu was famous for being fierce, everyone in Xingding County had to fight to the end. It was not that everyone in the large official family in Xingding County was loyal to the King of Chu.

"Tell me, are there any ways to reduce casualties?" Lu Wu asked the other nine captains.
Lu Wu has the memory of sixteen fighting spirits. The problem is that these memories are incomplete. Except for the martial arts, which are trained to the core by these fighting spirits and have become instinctive, and are fully accepted by Lu Wu, as for the memory of commanding troops to fight, there are only A rough method.
Among these sixteen fighting spirits, eleven are high-ranking military generals, and the other five are also arrogant and tyrannical people. If it weren't for the fact that most of the sixteen are generals in the army, and their memories can be compared and complemented, how would Lu Wulian be able to command the troops? None of the methods can be found.
Everyone, look at me, and I look at you. In the end, Guo Zhongyuan, who was the first to follow Lu Wu, said bravely: "General, I'm afraid this is very difficult. How can a soldier not die in a war? Unless the soldiers are all like the general. The general's bodyguards are generally very skilled in martial arts, otherwise even if everyone is equipped with iron armor for protection, it won't work."
"Even if they are protected by iron armor, not many soldiers can fly across the battlefield wearing iron armor." Captain Shen Yang muttered in a low voice.
He and Wang Zhuo were both old acquaintances from the Yuci Mansion and were former soldiers. They also competed for the position of gang leader that day. Wang Zhuo was fatter and similar to him in martial arts, but not as talented as him, so he was made the gang leader. Later, he was selected as Yingzheng and was promoted to school captain by Lu Wu.
But when he saw it today, Wang Zhuo had not only lost a lot of weight, but his martial arts had also progressed to a level that was beyond his reach. His jaw dropped. On the road to martial arts, skills are relatively easy to practice, but the hard indicators of strength and speed are difficult to achieve. No fake ones.
Then Wang Zhuo is still running like flying in his armor, and he can also jump on the roof of a nine-foot-high ladder. Is this a completely different person?
"General, can you accept us as registered disciples?" Another captain called out.
"General, you can't favor one against the other - otherwise we, the captains, are not good at martial arts and will be killed as soon as we go out into battle. I would not regret waiting for death, but I will also lose your people!" Guo Zhongyuan even wanted to cry out in pain. Come.
The twenty-four guards around Lu Wu established a firm foothold at the top of the city as soon as they took action. They were the biggest contributors to the defeat of Xingding County.
In particular, these twenty-four guards were originally good soldiers in the army. Most of them were commanders or team leaders. One of them was even a battalion commander. Even if these captains did not recognize them all, they at least knew some of them and knew that they were originally Although he is considered a good soldier in the army, he is by no means so brave.
That must be the benefit you get after becoming a personal guard/named disciple of the general.
Guo Zhongyuan was so envious that he shamelessly said this.
On that day, Lu Wu's army had a decisive battle with the general Pan Fu. Guo Zhongyuan was promoted to the rank of captain. It was the time when he was full of confidence and wanted to show off his skills. So he got ahead of the deputy commander Qiu Tong and challenged the enemy general in a duel, hoping to establish a Although he was famous, he was killed on the spot - it was Mrs. Qiutong who took action and captured the enemy general.
Among the ten captains, if there is anyone who hopes to improve his combat power the most, Guo Zhongyuan definitely ranks first.
Lu Wu pondered for a moment, the demon seed inheritance is only applicable to those soldiers who are about to enter from the outside into the inside and generate the true energy of the outside world, and it is not suitable for everyone.
That day in Danchen County, out of the five thousand surrendered troops and the more than a thousand men on hand, only twenty-seven were suitable.
If you don't want to become a master, but just want to improve some combat power, there is nothing you can do - but these methods are only suitable for popularization among soldiers, and are not of much use to captains.
