Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

87 The octopus is dead and the net is broken?

Technology is not only productive, but also destructive, like the atomic bombs of later generations, and the return artillery of today.

The appearance of this thing can even be compared with the significance of the atomic bomb. Changing the situation that people in this era are helpless against fortified cities, the rhubarb crossbow, the most powerful weapon in the camp, can only shoot more than 100 meters, while the return cannon has a range of more than 400 meters. If the light coals are fired, the spread range is 800 to [-] meters. The difference in range, now it is Xiapi City's turn to be beaten helplessly.

It is rare to get a sharp weapon for attacking the city. Mr. Cao can't wait to smash Pengcheng on the head of Xiapi City. For three consecutive days, he changed people without stopping the machine and bombarded Xiapi City one after another. Finally, the return gun was too mechanically exhausted. After more than a dozen fights, Wang Hou went to Cao Cao to protest, and then Cao Cao changed the attack to once every hour, throwing stones for half an hour at a time.

But even so, Xiapi City is still extremely difficult to sustain. In history, Cao Cao dug up the city of Surabaya, but this time it was replaced by fireworks. Nine return cannons were deployed one after another, and the firing range of coal was enough to cover the entire city. A small cigarette butt in later generations was enough to cause a monstrous fire, not to mention the specially made coal shells, which would immerse the whole city for four or five days. In the flames, centuries-old ancient buildings were crackling and falling into the sea of ​​flames, and pieces of them were burned to the ground. Even Lv Bu's Xuzhou shogunate was not spared.

Wang Hou didn't know how the city of Xuzhou was burning, but from the second day of the coal attack, the snow was black all over the sky.

And the coal attack is not just as simple as a fire on the surface, but what's more terrible is the devil, the poisonous smoke that can't be seen, touched or even smelled!
Underburned coal produces large amounts of carbon monoxide, which is highly toxic to humans!When I was young, I lived in a heated kang building. Once the flue was blocked and came out of the heated kang. Wang Hou almost didn't see King Yama and Empress Houtu because of this. Now, carbon monoxide poisoning is also spreading his claws in Xiapi City.

There was clearly no fire in the Datong shop of a barracks, but after a day, eight soldiers and the chief of the post woke up. The soldiers under his hands kicked, pushed, even cried and shouted, and were slapped by someone. The place is still full of peaceful fellow countrymen, but none of them woke up again.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The long and shrill screams caused Wang Hou to turn his head abruptly. In the thick night, he happened to see a Lu Jun who seemed to be crazy, screaming and flying down from the already dilapidated city, and plunged into it. There was no life left on the hard ice surface, and he couldn't help being shocked when he saw this scene.

The tragedy of the entire Xiapi City today was caused by his coal fire attack!Perhaps in a few years later, historians of later generations will put a heavy emphasis on his name, Wang Houfen Xiapi!
However, those who fell in the fire and poisonous smoke were only a part after all, and Cheng Yu's plan is to dig the Si River and flood the city, and the whole city will feed the fish and turtles, okay?And if Lu Bu is not pulled out, during the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, this capricious little man will definitely outflank from behind. At that time, the ones trapped in the city in pain and despair may be him, Cao Hongjie, and those trilogy at the foot of Funiu Mountain .

This is how people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes!

Shaking his heavy head with emotion, and immediately forgetting the leader who committed suicide by jumping into the city, Wang Hou patrolled his return artillery positions again exhaustedly. This batch of artillery has been replaced by one-third , once there is a crack, if there is a crack, it will be pulled away immediately, otherwise, if it is broken, more than a dozen people have been killed, and he does not want to add more lives.

I don’t know how many nights I can’t sleep well and can’t close my eyes. I have experienced the hard work of being an executive to the fullest. Seeing Dongfang is slightly pale. After inspecting the last return gun at the south gate, my heart finally relaxes. After yawning, Wang Hou turned around in a daze, planning to sleep for another hour or two before Cao Cao's o'clock in the morning.

But for those who are unsatisfactory in the world, nine times out of ten, when his mind is stunned to the emptiest, he suddenly shoots an arrow out of the darkness, hitting his junior, and with a puff, Wang Hou is lying like a dog. Went in the snowdrift.

"My lord!!! The enemy is attacking, protect my lord!!!"

Zhao Yun also woke up from his stupor, screaming in panic, and ran to Wang Hou with two brisk steps, but saw that Wang Hou was covering his mouth with blood and mud. Wang Hou vomited and crawled sadly stand up.

"Damn it! It's the Chinese New Year tomorrow, and there's blood here! I'm not disfigured!"

Cold-forged armor can't even break the god-arm bows of the Song Dynasty, let alone the carved bows of this era, but with such strength, Wang Hou suspected that his ribs in the back would be broken by arrows.

Grinning his teeth and making a joke, in Zhao Yun's expression that couldn't smile, he leaned on the sword and shook it before standing up straight. Looking at the dark city wall of Xiapi, Wang Hou squeezed out another look uglier than crying With a heroic expression on his face, he pulled out the sword with a buzzing sound, pointed in the direction of the city wall and yelled sadly.

"Lu thief broke through! The whole army defends!!!"

In the sound of hurried footsteps, in front of Wang Hou, he and Zhao Yun's trilogy rushed over again, and the long halberds were raised forward to form a defensive formation. Almost at the same time, the dark Lu Jun held up his short spear and shield Suddenly, a figure appeared in the darkness, with red eyes and a pitch-black old face, roaring and rushing towards him.

Puff Puff Puff ~

The blade of the long halberd directly pierced Lu Jun who was rushing over impatiently, and the dark blood was sprayed backwards, but immediately, the next row of Lu Jun who pushed away the corpses of his comrades rushed forward howling again. Coming over, Wang Hou Buqu, who was riding a long halberd before he had time to draw it out, slammed on Buqu's head with a dagger in his hand like an axe.

The fighting style of long-armed halberds in the north collided fiercely with the fighting style of short soldiers and brute force in the south.

It's no wonder that the protagonists in later historical TV dramas sneaked down from the city wall, and the enemy never saw it. The night in this era is really dark!You can't see your fingers!Before he had time to form an formation, his subordinates fought directly in the wilderness with the Lu Jun who came out of the surprise attack, and even sparks burst out in the collision of weapons. Holding up the sword, Wang Hou also pulled the hoarse voice and commanded with all his strength. So, for the time being, he was considered the highest official present, and the nearby Cao Jun also gathered in this direction after listening to Wang Hou's shout. However, before Wang Hou could taste the taste of being alone, the dark city gate of Xiapi in the distance It suddenly lit up again. Seeing the suspension bridge crashing down, Wang Hou almost cried.

The Bingzhou wolf riders with torches were screaming in a barbarian tone and marched side by side, and the one in the front, carrying a big burden and holding Fang Tian's painted halberd upside down, led the charge. Was it Lu Bu or who?

A few days ago tens of thousands of Cao Jun stopped, Wang Hou was almost cut off by him, and now there are only 3000 people at the South Gate!According to society's brother Lu's hatred for his crow's mouth, didn't he hand over his head tonight?

Are there spies in Cao Jun?Specifically revealing this point to Lu Bu to come out to make a surprise attack, just to take his dog's head?

With cold sweat all over his head, he threw the sword away, and pulled out a short gun in each of his left and right hands. Wang Hou was so nervous that his body trembled.

There were indeed warriors in Cao's army. Facing the raiding wolf cavalry, several teams of Cao's troops held up their spears and pressed their shields bravely, crowding out a spear array in front of the official road out of the city to block Lu Bu's advance and break through.

But what they were facing was Lu Bu!In the collision of a comet hitting the earth, and Cao Jun's shouts, he saw that the spears were about to stab people and horses, but at this moment, the beast roared like that. In Wang Hou's eyes, Lu Bu was simply unbelievable. Quickly raised Fang Tian's painted halberd, and with a clatter, a large group of spears were pushed away, and then Chituma stepped on the shield with both hooves, and his painted halberd dragged backwards, breaking through Cao Jun's formation like a shooting star, and at the same time dragged out on the right side. There was a piece of blood.

Amidst the screams, Lu Wenhou was the first to break through the army formation!

The Bingzhou wolf riders who followed him were not so lucky. Many people were knocked off their horses by the erected spears. However, amidst the fierce roar, along the gap opened by Lu Bu, these wolf riders were still like the tide breaking the embankment. In that way, the gap was squeezed bigger and bigger, and finally the interception formation formed by hundreds of people was completely dispersed, and they broke through.

At this very second, Wang Hou felt cold sweat break out on his back. It felt like he was being targeted by some ferocious carnivore. At the same time, Lu Bu who was driving the red rabbit horse galloped suddenly He turned his head away, and in Wang Hou's trembling eyes, a pair of blood-red eyes fell firmly on himself as if he was picking someone to devour.

One second, two seconds, three seconds!His heart seemed to have stopped beating, until Lu Bu, who turned his head, completely ran out of his sight, Wang Hou suddenly came back to his senses, and let out a long breath, but the next second, his legs softened again, and he sat down on the ground.

It's not that Wang Hou is timid, it's just that some people are so scary!
However, panting heavily for the pungent cold air in the winter, Wang Hou's head turned again, listening to the wailing, and looking at the Lu Bu cavalry who were getting farther and farther away, Wang Hou suddenly became a clever.

Lu Bu did not make a surprise attack with the whole army. The Danyang soldiers who attacked at this time were pushed back by Cao Jun who was guarding the south gate. Although they were still fighting bravely, the shouts of killing were not so loud anymore. Quantity, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry that assaulted did not have the entire army to assault, and there were only a few hundred cavalry!

If it is Lu Bu who abandoned the city to break through and abandoned all the infantry, at least he should take his starting troops and the state army with him!
He seems to be carrying a big bag on his back!

In the blink of an eye, a fragment of the novel, just a few sentences, suddenly appeared in Wang Hou's mind!
"Lord!"

Dragging the bloody green sword, facing Wang Hou who was sitting on the ground, Zhao Yun once again anxiously left his opponent who was spitting blood and ran back, but he was useless to help him, but Wang Hou was even more anxious and slammed He swung his arms forward.

"Zilong, do you have the courage to snatch that woman back from Lu Bu's back!"

"Woman! Lu Bu!"

Stunned for a second, he dropped his sword, whistled, and the white-hoofed crow that Cao Cao had given him happily slipped out of the stable. With the other hand he flicked the whip hard.

"drive!!!"
