Lu Bu led the army to rush all the way, hoping to reach Puyang before the city gate was repaired.
Halfway through the journey, Zhang Liao sent someone back to report the news.
"I reported to Marquis Wen that the gate of Puyang City has not been repaired, but it is sealed with sand and gravel. It is no longer possible to enter the city."
Upon hearing the news, Lu Bu's expression changed, and he secretly cried out.
The city gate is sealed with sand and stones. Even if there is a catapult, it will be of no avail. It seems that Cao Mengde has already expected this.
When Chen Gong heard the news, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, "I didn't expect that Cao Mengde would even think of such a trivial matter and not give us a chance!"
At this point, Chen Gong suddenly snorted, "He sealed this city gate with sand and stones. We can enter through other factory gates."
Upon hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes lit up.
He also has flame stones here. Since Cao Mengde can blow open the city gate, he can too.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu hurriedly ordered the army to speed up, hoping to reach Puyang before Cao Mengde thought of it.
The group of people hurried all the way, and finally arrived ten miles away from Puyang City near dusk.
Lu Bu ordered the team to stop and rest, and at the same time sent spies to check the news at other city gates.
Although Lu Bu was full of expectations, the news that came back made him extremely disappointed.
All the gates of Puyang City have been sealed by sand and stones. If you want to enter the city, you can only attack from the city wall.
Lu Bu had no choice but to let people set up camp. At the same time, he invited the generals to discuss and find a way to attack.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Lu Bu sat in the middle. He looked around and saw that everyone was already here, and then he spoke slowly.
"Cao Mengde captured Puyang, we must find a way to take it back. Do you have any ideas?"
When everyone heard Lu Bu's question, they all lowered their heads, saying that there was nothing they could do.
Even Chen Gong, the most resourceful person, was frowning at the moment and looking at the ground, looking thoughtful.
Now everyone knows the situation in Puyang, and they all know that it is simply impossible to attack the city.
When Chen Gong saw that no one was speaking, he sighed and said with a wry smile.
"No matter what solution everyone has, bring it forward and discuss it with everyone."
In the past, when attacking a city, even if the city wall was stormed, one had to find a way to go down and open the gate and let the army in. Only when the army entered the city could the city be completely occupied.
Because no matter how many ladders there are, even if the city wall can be captured, as long as the enemy counterattacks, it is still possible to turn defeat into victory.
Only by opening the city gate and letting more people in can we achieve the final victory.
Now that Puyang City has been transformed by Cao Mengde, if you want to enter the city, you can only enter through the city wall. This has increased the difficulty so much that it can even be said that it is impossible to break the city.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Lu Bu frowned and asked, "Isn't there nothing that everyone can do?"
Wei Xu suddenly stood up and said, "Can we blow up the city wall?"
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, "Impossible."
Even though the flame stone is powerful, it is still powerless against a solid city wall.
Unless there are so many flame stones that there is no need to worry, just throw them at the city wall unscrupulously, and it may be possible to blow up the city wall.
But how is this possible?
It is simply too difficult to get a flame stone. If Lu Bu hadn't been so powerful, he might not even have gotten one.
Chen Gong sighed and said, "The city of Puyang is strong. If our army has sufficient strength, we can completely surround Puyang. When Cao Mengde runs out of food, he will leave the city and surrender.
It's just a pity that our army doesn't have enough troops to do it."
Seeing that everyone was helpless, Lu Bu had no choice but to return to his residence and once again ordered Zhang Hu and Li Gu to return to the tent and drink in a low voice.
"Enter the game."
Lu Bu stood under the big tree and thought about it carefully, and decided to try his luck at Black Iron Mountain. If he could get better things, it would not be difficult to break the city.
On the way to Black Iron Mountain, Lu Bu called the lonely salted fish again.
"Lonely salted fish, are you here?"
"Boss, I'm here. You came to the game. Where are you now? I'm looking for you?"
Lu Bu smiled bitterly, "No need, I'm in trouble with you this time. I hope you can think of a way to solve it?"
"What trouble? Didn't you drive Cao Cao to Xuzhou? What trouble is there?"
Lu Bu sighed, "Lonely salted fish, do you know that Cao Mengde did not go to Xuzhou, but to Puyang."
"What?"
The lonely Xianyu was immediately startled, "Boss, you said Cao Cao went to Puyang, how is this possible?"
"Lonely salted fish, Cao Mengde has occupied Puyang City. I just want to ask a question, is there any way to take it back?"
Hearing Lu Bu's question, the lonely Xianyu smiled bitterly. In terms of wisdom, he may not be as good as Lu Bu. The only advantage is that he is a descendant and knows all the history. Of course, he also knows more knowledge.
But if he knows this knowledge, can he help Lu Bu?
"Boss, to be honest, when it comes to fighting, I'm far worse than you. If you ask me about this, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you."
Although Lu Bu had already expected the lonely salted fish's answer, he was still a little disappointed after hearing these words.
"A lonely salted fish, is there really nothing you can do?"
"I'm really sorry. I've never seen anything about siege. I really can't help you."
At this point, Lonely Xianyu paused for a moment and then said, "When you were in Xiapi, you were flooded by Cao Cao, so you failed.
Puyang is not far from the big river. Why don't you release the water too, maybe you can also flood Cao Mengde."
Lu Bu shook his head and said, "No, Puyang has a high terrain. It's probably impossible to flood it with water."
The lonely Xianyu thought for a while, "Boss, please let me think about it, and I will give you an answer when I think of it."
Lu Bu nodded, turned off the communicator, and continued to rush towards the Black Iron Mountain.
Arriving at the foot of Black Iron Mountain and looking at a small cave next to it, Lu Bu's heart suddenly moved and he suddenly remembered something.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
When the Third Young Master led his men to attack the Spider Cave, they used an item, the portal.
According to Lonely Xianyu, portals should be available in the military. What if I also buy a portal?
This thought arose in Lu Bu's mind, and he was immediately out of control.
If there is a teleportation gate, just set it up in the city, and then a large number of soldiers and horses can enter the city directly without even attacking the city wall, which will save you a lot of trouble.
The most important thing is that you can also take Cao Mengde by surprise. If you attack him from behind when he is not paying attention, you will definitely lose.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu opened the communication again, "Lonely salted fish, are you here?"
"I'm here, boss, is there anything wrong?"
Lu Bu said slowly, "Lonely salted fish, do you still remember the portal that Third Young Master used?"
"Of course I remember, what's wrong?"
"Lonely salted fish, if I want to buy one, is there any way to buy it?"
"I don't know, but I can check and see if there is any way to buy it. I can't buy it today. I'll get back to you tomorrow."
Lu Bu nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow."
After coming up with this idea, Lu Bu felt a lot more relaxed.
As long as there is a portal, it is easy to break through the city.
Lu Bu walked towards the Black Iron Mountain. After a day of hard work, he got ten flame stones and it was time to go offline.
The next day, Lu Bu did not order the army to set off, but stayed where he was and continued to rest.
After hearing Lu Bu's order, Chen Gong hurriedly came over with doubts on his face, "Marquis Wen, since there is no way to attack Puyang, why not withdraw our troops and save some food?"
Lu Bu thought about the portal and shook his head, "Wait a little longer. If we can't come up with a solution today, it won't be too late for us to withdraw our troops tomorrow."
Chen Gong didn't know what Lu Bu was thinking. Since it was Lu Bu's order, he could only obey it.
Lu Bu sent several more spies to the direction of Puyang to inquire about the news.
The news we received is that Cao Jun continued to pile up defensive supplies on the city wall, and it seemed that he was determined to defend.
Upon hearing the news, Lu Bu just sneered in his heart.
Even if there are more defense materials, what will happen?
As long as you get the portal, no matter how much defensive materials you have, it will be useless.
Puyang.
Cao Cao stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. After a long time, he suddenly sighed.
Others don't know why, only he himself knows that although he got Puyang, he spent too much money.
Originally, Cao Jun's property was relatively abundant, but after his purchases during this period, it was almost exhausted.
It can even be said that even if you want to buy food, you have no money left.
After occupying Puyang City, Cao Cao immediately ordered people to seal up the treasury and check the finances and food.
Because Lu Bu's army withdrew in a hurry and did not take away too many things, the property and food were still there.
In order to defend the city, Cao Cao immediately plundered all the property in the warehouses of Puyang City. That night, he purchased a catapult and ten flaming stones.
For the sake of safety, the Flame Stone has been sent to a dedicated person to keep it safe so that the last situation will never happen again.
When he thought of what happened in Juancheng, Cao Cao regretted it endlessly. It was only after the incident that he realized that he had only thrown one flaming stone, but he had detonated the eight flaming stones he had placed there, almost causing the city wall to collapse.<
/p>
If his eight flame stones were properly kept, it would be impossible for Lu Bu to break into the city that day.
The most important thing is that the catapult I bought for 100,000 gold coins will not be blown to pieces!
Cao Cao felt heartbroken when he thought of how easily the catapult he had exchanged for a large amount of copper coins was destroyed.
Cao Hong came from behind, raised his hands and said, "My lord, the spies came back to report that Lu Bu's army was stationed ten miles away and did not come over."
Lu Qian, who was standing aside, frowned and said, "If Lu Bu can't come, doesn't he want to attack the city?
But just stay there and waste food in vain?"
Cao Hong snorted coldly, "I think Lu Bu knew that he couldn't break the city, so he stopped there and let them consume it. It would be better to use up all the food. That would be better."
Cheng Yu shook his head, "No matter what, we can't be careless. What Lu Bu has done during this period of time is indeed unexpected!"
After hearing this, Cao Cao snorted, but said nothing.
Others may not know why, but he knows it clearly.
Lu Bu also entered that game, knew the historical process, and obtained a catapult, so he did so many unexpected things.
Without this game, Lu Bu would be just a reckless general, nothing to worry about.
Cao Cao couldn't help but feel proud when he thought of the history introduced by the players in the game.
Among the many princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, he was the only one who achieved great things. Although Liu Bei and Sun Ce were also called the Three Kingdoms, compared with themselves, they were far behind.
If it weren't for this game, how could Lu Bu'er have the upper hand and drive himself out of Juancheng?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes burst out with anger, his fists clenched tightly, and he secretly swore in his heart that Lu Bu must be driven out of Yanzhou, no, the Baimenlou incident must be repeated.
Cao Hong suddenly said, "Lü Bu's army was unprepared. If our army goes to sneak attack at night, maybe we can succeed in one fell swoop?"
Everyone laughed bitterly when they heard this.
Lu Qian sighed, "General Cao, Lu Bu has brought the Bingzhou cavalry this time. If we go for a sneak attack and fail, our army will definitely be defeated by the attack of the Bingzhou cavalry."
Cao Hong frowned, "If our army adopts a fire attack and sets it on fire first, Lu Bu's army will definitely be in chaos. Even if there are Bingzhou cavalry, they will probably panic in the fierce fire."
Cao Cao suddenly waved his hand, "Don't say anything, everyone. It's too risky to attack Lu Bu's son.
As long as our army holds on to the city and the food in the city is enough for us, Lu Bu cannot consume us and will have to retreat in the end."
Hearing this, Cheng Yushen nodded in agreement, "Yes, the best way is to protect the city. As long as Lu Bu's army cannot attack, they will definitely retreat."
At this moment, Xia Houyuan walked up from under the city wall.
When everyone saw him, they felt a little sad.
In the past, Xia Houyuan was brave and good at fighting, and could be called a fierce general in Cao's army, but now, one of his arms has been lost, his expression is haggard, and his face is covered with stubble. If he didn't wear armor, he would be just like a farmer in the fields.
Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miaocai, why are you here? Your injury has not healed yet. You'd better go back and recuperate as soon as possible."
When Xia Houyuan saw Cao Cao approaching, he wanted to hold his hand over, but when he raised his hand, he realized that only one arm was left, and his eyes suddenly became moist.
"My lord, I will no longer be able to greet you."
When everyone heard this sentence, their noses became sore and they almost shed tears.
Cao Cao sighed and said, "It doesn't matter, just go back and recuperate."
Xia Houyuan shook his head and said, "My lord, although I can no longer go to the battlefield, I am still rich enough to command battles on the city wall. Please allow me, my lord, to command the soldiers to defend the city here!"
Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan's injured arm and waved his hand, "Miaocai, you'd better go back to recover as soon as possible. It won't be too late to command the battle when the injury is healed."
Xia Houyuan shook his head, "My lord, just agree to this request of the general, otherwise I will jump from here."
