The question Lu Bu faces now is, should he leave Novice Village or stay?
After thinking for a long time, Lu Bu finally made up his mind not to buy union tokens, but to collect flame stones.
When he enters the game tomorrow, no matter what, he will decide to leave the Novice Village.
After some hard work and harvesting 12 flame stones, Lu Bu left the game and returned to reality.
Early the next morning, Zhang Miao rushed to Fan County with his troops to prepare for Yan Liang's sneak attack.
At the same time, Lu Bu also received the report from the spies. Knowing that Wen Chou's troops and horses had not moved, he felt a little relieved.
At noon, Lu Bu received the report from the spies again, and his heart that had just been put down quickly picked up again.
"General, Wen Chou's troops have set up camp and are already heading this way."
Upon hearing the news, Lu Bu immediately called everyone for discussion.
Chen Gong was the first to ask, "Why did Wen Chou leave at noon? If he wanted to hurry, he should have left in the morning?"
Xu Bang nodded, "Based on the distance between the two parties and the speed at which Wen Chou was traveling, it would be dark by the time he arrived."
At this point, Xu Bang paused for a moment and then continued, "If Wen Chou gets up early and rushes on his way, by the time he gets to Dong'a, it won't be too dark yet and he'll be able to set up camp.
But they set off at noon, and when they arrived at Dong'a, it was already dark, and it would be very troublesome to set up camp."
What the two said was also what worried Lu Bu.
Wen Chou is Yuan Shao's general. He is second to none in Jizhou in terms of bravery and experience in leading troops. He will never do such a move without any reason.
Wen Chou’s move must have a profound meaning?
But the question is, what does it mean?
Hou Cheng scratched his head, "Could it be that Wen Chou wants to attack the city overnight?"
Hearing this, Cheng Lian snorted coldly, "I don't think Wen Chou is good at attacking the city at night!"
Chen Gong's face was full of worry and he said slowly, "It stands to reason that any wise general would not choose to attack the city overnight. This would be too detrimental to the troops of the headquarters."
Zhang Liao suddenly said, "Marquis Wen, do they also have flame stones?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this sentence.
Hou Cheng said loudly, "Oh no, if they really have the flame stone, maybe they want to blow open the city gate while it's dark like us?"
Xu Bang hurriedly handed over his hand, "Marquis Wen, in order to prevent this, why don't we also seal the city gate to prevent the enemy from using flaming stones to blow up the city gate?"
Hearing this, Lu Bu frowned, but did not speak. Instead, he turned to look at Chen Gong.
Chen Gong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said slowly, "If the city gate is blocked, Wen Chou won't be able to rush in, but we won't be able to get out either."
Lu Bu nodded, "Gongtai is right, I think the main force is the Bingzhou cavalry. If the city gate is closed, our cavalry will not be able to leave the city. At that time, we will only be surrounded by the enemy in the city, and it will be difficult to get out. ”
Hearing this, Chen Gong suddenly exclaimed, "If Yan Liang also takes action in Fan County at the same time, wouldn't it be terrible if we don't even have reinforcements?"
After hearing this, Lu Bu snorted coldly, "Yuan Shao wants to use 60,000 troops to besiege our two cities. It is really a dream."
"Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian and you two will lead the Bingzhou cavalry to leave Dong'a first and hide outside."
Zhang Liao hurriedly stood up, accepted the order, and then asked, "Marquis Wen, what should we do after we leave the city?"
Lu Bu hesitated for a moment and then said slowly, "You two can just wait and see what happens outside the city."
Chen Gong suddenly said, "Wen Chou has brought many soldiers and horses. Although they are powerful, they consume a lot of money. General Zhang, you two are outside and try your best to cut off their food routes. When Wen Chou runs out of food, that is when he withdraws his troops." time."
Lu Bu turned to look at Chen Gong, thinking of what the lonely Xianyu said, he couldn't help but nod secretly.
Chen Gong is very resourceful, but his resourcefulness is mainly reflected in tactics, especially when the two armies are fighting, he is most capable.
However, Chen Gong was slightly lacking in strategy. From Lu Bu's sneak attack on Yanzhou to Baimen Tower, he never had any strategic insights.
"Gongtai is right. After you two leave the city, try your best to cut off their food routes, but be careful not to cause too much loss."
The Bingzhou Cavalry is Lu Bu's main force. Once the losses are too heavy, the consequences will be disastrous.
Chen Gong turned around, cupped his hands towards Lu Bu, and said slowly, "Marquis Wen, although we cannot seal the city gate, we can use sand and gravel to surround a passage inside the city.
If Wen Chou really uses the flame stone to blow open the city gate, he can only go through the passage we left, and we can block them in the passage."
Hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes lit up and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Gongtai is right, let the soldiers carry the sand and stones later and make a passage for them. Even if they rush into the city gate, they will not be able to enter the city. ”
When everyone heard Lu Bu's order, they hurriedly handed over their hands and left in a hurry.
Wen Chou's army has already set off. If we don't seize the time to move the sand and gravel, I'm afraid it will be too late.
Lu Bu frowned again as he watched everyone leave.
Using Chen Gong's method can prevent Wen Chou from using flame stones to attack the city. Thinking of the narrow passage, the effect should be pretty good.
But what worries Lu Bu is whether Wen Chou has other ways to attack the city?
If so, what would it be?
Could it be that, like Cao Mengde, Yuan Shao also possesses the fire wall technique?
If Wen Chou relies on the fire wall technique, how should he defend himself?
According to Lonely Xianyu, although the fire wall technique is amazingly powerful, it also has great shortcomings and is very limited when activated.
For example, the Fire Wall Technique can only be activated on the ground, not on city walls, in mid-air, or in water. In short, it has great limitations, so the lonely salted fish said that the Fire Wall Technique is just ordinary.<
/p>
Despite this, according to the intensity of the flames mentioned by Zhang Liao, even if a fire is set below the city, the people on the city will still be in danger.
The most important thing is, does Wen Chou have other skills? This is the key point?
Throughout the afternoon, the generals and soldiers continued to carry soil to the city gate, and then began to build the passage.
Lu Bu came to the city wall, inspected it, and ordered people to fetch some water tanks and fill them with water to prevent the enemy from attacking with fire.
Standing on the city wall, Lu Bu kept looking at the direction Wen Chou was coming, still wondering in his heart, what solution could Wen Chou have, or should I say a solution that he didn't know?
When it was completely dark, the spies came back and reported, "Alert to Marquis Wen, Wen Chou's army is already five miles away and will be here soon."
After hearing the news, everyone suddenly became energetic and looked outside the city wall.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves came from the darkness in the distance, as well as the slight vibration of many soldiers stepping on the ground.
As Wen Chou's soldiers and horses got closer and closer, the thunderous sound became louder and louder, and even the neighing of the war horses could be heard clearly.
Chen Gong looked at the dark figure running in the distance and sighed, "It seems that Wen Chou is really going to attack the city overnight."
Hou Cheng sneered, "If he really dares to come, hum, then let him have a taste of our power."
Lu Bu did not speak, but still stared closely at Yuan Shaojun in the distance, constantly guessing in his heart.
There is no doubt that Wen Chou wanted to attack the city overnight. The question is, how did he want to attack the city?
What does Wen Chou have to rely on? This is the key point.
Outside Dong'a City, Lu Bu had already lit countless torches, illuminating the official road outside the city gate.
Wen Chou's army rushed out of the dark night, carrying a murderous aura, and came to stand outside the city.
Countless big flags rustled in the night wind, and the tips of the spears that lived on the ground shone with a cold light in the firelight.
In front of the neat array, several war horses ran out. The leader was a strong man, wearing black armor, black horses and iron guns. In the dim light of the fire, he looked as majestic as the devil coming to the world.
Hou Cheng looked at Wen Chou's appearance and scratched his head, "Wen Chou isn't ugly either, so why do we call him Wen Chou?"
Cheng Lian knocked on his head, "Does it mean that if he is called Wen Chou, he will be ugly?"
Wen Chou below the city said in a deep and powerful voice, "The man on the wall is Wen Hou Lu Fengxian?"
Lu Bu was shocked when he saw Wen Chou's rock-steady posture. Although the two had never fought before, judging from past experience, Wen Chou must be very strong.
Upon hearing the question, Lu Bu came to the edge of the city wall and said loudly, "This is me. I wonder what General Wen Chou wants to learn from you here?"
Wen Chou bowed his hand and said, "I have been ordered to come to take over Dong'a and ask Marquis Wen to withdraw."
The words were concise and clear, but they made the generals on the city wall furious.
Hou Cheng roared angrily, "Wen Chou, what kind of thing is Lishu? You dare to order Wen Hou, you really don't know how to live or die."
Wen Chou didn't even look at Hou Cheng, but still stared at Lu Bu, and said slowly, "Marquis Wen, don't you want to quit?"
Lu Bu shook his head, "General Wen Chou, if you are here as a guest, I can treat you as a friend, but if you are here to attack the city, then we can only meet on the battlefield."
Wen Chou handed over his hand again, "Marquis Wen, please think twice. I am very powerful and cannot be matched by you. If you retreat now, I will never pursue you. What do you think?"
"Nonsense."
Hou Cheng was so angry that he jumped up and yelled, "Wen Chou, stop talking nonsense. If you have the ability, come and attack the city. Grandpa is waiting for you here."
Wen Chou waited quietly for a moment, then loudly said again, "Marquis Wen, don't you think about it any more?"
Lu Bu shook his head and smiled proudly, "General Wen Chou, if you are here to attack, then show your ability and let me see it."
Wen Chou nodded and said concisely, "Okay!"
While speaking, he suddenly raised his left hand, pointed at the city wall, and growled, "Go!"
Wen Chou's words were so low that the people on the city wall did not hear them. However, when Lu Bu saw Wen Chou raised his finger and pointed at the city wall, he suddenly became alert and hurriedly shouted.
"Everyone, be careful."
"Ah!"
Just when everyone was wondering what to be careful about, a scream suddenly came from behind.
Everyone was startled. They turned around and saw Xu Bin, who was standing behind everyone, screaming and falling to the ground, his body twitching continuously.
Suddenly someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Snake, Xu Bin was bitten by a snake."
Only then did everyone see that there was a small green snake more than a foot long on Xu Bang's leg, biting his leg.
"Oh, there are more here!"
Hou Cheng, who was rushing at the front, was about to see Xu Bang when a small green snake suddenly jumped up from the ground and bit his hand. The pain immediately made him scream, and then he grabbed the small snake and roared, directly
He tore off the green snake and threw it to the ground. Just as he was about to step on it, his vision went dark and he fell directly to the ground.
Everyone was startled when they saw the snake, and hurriedly backed away and looked at the ground carefully.
"Oh, there's more!"
Just when there was a panic on the city wall, Wen Chou outside the city suddenly waved his hand, and Yuan Shaojun's soldiers, who had been waiting in full formation, immediately rushed towards the city gate silently.
A small green snake appeared on the city wall, and it was already in a mess. Yuan Shaojun's soldiers rushed closer and were suddenly discovered.
"No, the enemy is coming."
"Archers, release your arrows quickly."
"Oh, there are little snakes here too."
Looking at the soldiers of Lu Bu's army running around on the city wall, Wen Chou's serious cheeks showed a sneer of disdain and murmured.
"The world-famous Marquis Wen and Lu Fengxian are nothing more than this, hum."
The people on the city wall drew their sabers and slashed at the small snakes on the ground, cutting off seven or eight snakes in a row, and then the city wall calmed down a bit.
Just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly heard the sound of the enemy rushing over. Their hearts were raised again and they hurriedly directed the battle.
Whoosh!
"Ahhh!"
The archers of Lu Bu's army kept firing arrows, trying to intercept the charge of Yuan Shao's soldiers.
But unfortunately, Yuan Shaojun's soldiers charged too fast. After several rounds of arrows, they had already rushed not far from the city wall.
Standing on the city wall, Lu Bu saw that the enemy's target was actually the city gate. He suddenly understood in his heart and shouted, "Be careful of the city gate."
But it was already too late. Several sturdy Yuan Shaojun soldiers took off the cloth bags they were carrying, took out the flame stones from them, and threw them in the direction of the city gate.
Boom!
The power of the flame stone was huge. After the explosion, Lu Bu, who was standing on the city wall, suddenly felt his feet shaking, and the debris on the city wall fell like raindrops.
The rest of Yuan Shaojun's soldiers also took out the flame stones they carried and threw them towards the city gate in unison.
Boom boom boom!
A total of eight flame stones were thrown at the city gate. After the explosion, the hard city gate was immediately bombarded with debris flying all over the sky, and several large holes were made in the door.
Wen Chou, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw this scene, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he roared, "The city gate has been broken, the whole army charges."
Following Wen Chou's order, countless soldiers of Yuan Shao's army immediately took out their weapons and rushed towards the city gate.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
Wen Chou looked at Lu Bu on the city wall with cold eyes and couldn't help but laugh up to the sky, "Lu Fengxian, I have heard about your great reputation for a long time, but I didn't expect that you are so unworthy. This general is really disappointed."
Looking at the Yuan Shaojun soldiers rushing over, Lu Bu sneered, "General Wen Chou, are you a little early? I'm afraid you will be disappointed later."
