A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 269 Fire Wall
Jianye City is divided into four parts from the inside to the outside, among which the outer city is definitely the front part.

After passing through the outer city, there are three inner cities left, and there is a slight gap between the memory and the memory. The farthest distance is more than [-] meters.

In this interval, there are neither merchants nor residents.

There are only some tents used to garrison troops, and some food and grass equipment.

In the early stage of the construction of Jianye City, Sun Quan intended to build it into the strongest fortress.

The current results of Jianye City do have some similarities with Sun Quan's previous plan.

The outer city was successfully captured, which means that all the surface of Jianye City has been stripped away!

At this time, even if Sun Quan wanted to abandon the city and flee, he would have no chance.

After all, the area covered by the outer city is almost equivalent to surrounding the entire Jianye City.

Moreover, this kind of encirclement at this time is much simpler than encircling the city.

After all, no matter what method he uses, as long as Sun Quan wants to get from the inner city to the outer city, he must pass through the exit connecting the inner and outer cities.

At this time, Du Huo only needed to send troops to guard those exits, and he could completely block Sun Quan's escape route.

Therefore, the fall of the outer city at this time, in a sense, has already determined the advantage of the battle between the two sides.

It's just that Sun Quan is stubborn and still wants to resist desperately!
Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei successfully captured the outer city, which can be regarded as the first contribution to the entire siege plan!

However, although the celebration is indispensable, it cannot be settled here!
The fall of the outer city caused the forces of the Sun Quan Group to gather together again and gradually formed a cohesion point!

And in the cohesion point, it is of course unknown what kind of powerful power it contains.

But even if he didn't know it, it still wouldn't stop Du Huo from exploring this issue.

The plan to attack the inner city had been planned long before the overall plan was formulated.

When the morning sun rose, Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei, who were mainly responsible for garrisoning the outer city, immediately gave directions to the subsequent engineering teams.

According to the previously negotiated plan, the three inner cities will be captured by Wei Yan and Zhang Baoguansuo respectively.

At this time, there was no one available around Sun Quan.

Since Tai Shici's death in battle, Sun Quan directly dragged Lu Xun onto the battlefield.

Since there was not much preparation beforehand, Lu Xun felt more or less like he was rushing to the shelves!
However, although this sense of urgency is increasing day by day, Lu Xun can be regarded as having some talents!

Even compared to Tai Shi Cilai, Lu Xun's ability was even higher than his!
The three inner cities were entrusted to three generals and three teams respectively.

Wei Yan was the first to bear the brunt, and it was his responsibility to go to the inner city first.

At this time, Sun Quan only had Lu Xun beside him, so although this was only the first inner layer, Lu Xun had to guard it personally.

After the fall of the outer city, Lu Xun, who was ordered in danger, directly divided the soldiers under his command into four parts!
According to his thinking, if it is only used for defense, it can naturally be done with the ability of the soldiers under his command!
However, if things go on like this, then being captured is also an inevitable thing.

Therefore, in order to find a way out, he also wanted to fight back.

Lu Xun finally decided to achieve the greatest goal with the least amount of troops.

Under normal circumstances, just looking at the defense of the first inner city, it would require more than [-] troops to be able to garrison firmly.

But even though Lu Xun knew this truth, he still reduced the defensive strength of the first inner city to one-third.

As a result, when Wei Yan led tens of thousands of soldiers to attack the city, there were only more than a thousand soldiers defending the first inner city.

However, although the lineup of these thousand soldiers has declined, their defensive capabilities have still maintained a relatively stable state.

Even when Wei Yan just led his troops to attack the city, he didn't immediately feel that the city defense was insufficient.

And when the siege battle broke out, Lu Xun quickly withdrew the [-] soldiers who had been drawn back to the second inner city!
And between the first inner city and the second inner city, a high wall of fire was built!

The core of the wall of fire is piled up with stones, while the surface is filled with resin and thick oil.

When the fire is ignited, the resin and thick oil are fully burned in the fire.

The wall of the fire wall has become extremely strong, and because there is enough fuel, the fire in the fire wall will only burn more and more fiercely and never stop!

Two hours later, as Wei Yan's siege power continued to increase, the [-] soldiers who only existed in the first inner city gradually became a bit stretched!

As a result, when Wei Yan took the initiative to launch the third attack, the guards on the city could no longer resist the onslaught of Wei Yan's army.

As a result, Wei Yan took the first inner city directly into his pocket with almost no effort.

However, although the first inner city has been captured.But the walls of fire protruding from the first inner city and the second inner city!
However, it directly became a headache for Du Huo's army.

Moreover, behind the wall of fire, crossbow arrows flew out continuously.

And the distance that the crossbow flew out was just enough to hit the soldiers in the army.

In fact, there is such a subtlety about this phenomenon.

Due to the burning of the wall of fire, there was a limit to the shortest distance Du Huo's army could approach.

And the restricted area happened to be within the optimal range of the crossbow arrows.

In the end, it was precisely because of this coincidence that Du Huo's army suffered a lot of losses for no reason.

As for the occurrence of this phenomenon, it happened to be because of Lu Xun's previous setting!
Although Lu Xun was not strong enough to fight Du Huo's army head-on, he could use some ingenious methods to gradually weaken Du Huo's strength!
After the firewall appeared, the progress of Du Huo's army's siege was directly stopped because of it.

The commanders of the follow-up siege team, Zhang Bao and Guan Suo, were firmly blocked by this wall of fire.

Originally, they thought that although the fire in this wall of fire was strong, it would not burn for long.

But after observing, it was discovered that on the other side of the firewall, Lu Xun was still adding fuel to the firewall.

And if it continues like this, then this wall of fire may not be able to be extinguished for several months!

Therefore, this matter has instantly become the most difficult problem that can prevent Du Huo from taking Jianye City.

Helpless, Wei Yan, Zhang Bao, and Guan Suo had no choice but to report the current situation to Du Huo, who then made the decision.

When Du Huo first received the news, although he also felt a little surprised, he didn't show an overly exaggerated reaction.

Du Huo still has some understanding of Lu Xun, although Du Huo's understanding is in the actual history.

But no matter in the real world or in the game world, Lu Xun is a talented person with both intelligence and strategy.

Therefore, it is not surprising that such an embarrassing strategy can be used in the hands of such a capable person.

But at present, Du Huo has to come up with some solutions to solve the current predicament.

Now, when the firewall problem arises, Du Huo's first thought is to use tactics to solve it.

Since Jianye City is close to the river at this time, if the water system strategy is used, it can be successfully used.

It's just that the city wall of Jianye City is taller. If the river water is to overflow into the city wall, it must at least have such a huge water potential.

Of course, although this is easy to do, there are some hidden dangers in the use of this strategy.

For example, if water from rivers and lakes were brought into the city, it would definitely have an impact on the soldiers stationed in the city.

Although in the game, one's own strategy will not affect one's own soldiers.

But in this world, there are some things that cannot be compared with games after all.

What's more, water and fire are ruthless. If it is really going to be used, then this torrential flood will take away the lives of many soldiers.

However, if Du Huo didn't do this, the firewall would also be impossible to break, unless there were other better ways.

But right now, Du Huo is considering other ways.

In fact, as early as he was considering using the water system strategy.Wei Yan and others in the city also tried to mobilize water sources to extinguish the fire on the fire wall.

It's just a pity that due to Lu Xun's defense, the soldiers had no way to lead the water to the fire wall.

Because as early as around the fire wall, Lu Xun had already dug the drainage ditch.

And because of the existence of this drainage ditch, no water source can get close to the fire wall.

Therefore, the method of using water to extinguish the fire can only be put aside.

In addition to Du Huo's water system strategy, the counselors also proposed other methods during discussions.

First of all, the one with the highest argument and the most supporters is the method of putting out fire with fire!
Now that there is no way to use water to extinguish the wall of fire, it is better to help the wall of fire to create a fire and use this wall of fire for your own use.

The specific operation method is basically to continue pouring fuel on the fire wall.

Then let the fire of the fire wall expand rapidly, so that it reaches the situation where the fuel is oversupplied and flows around.

In this way, even if there are drainage ditches around the fire wall, there is still no way to drain the sky-wide fire.

And as long as the fire reaches a certain level, even if Lu Xun doesn't want to put out the fire, he has to do so.

Because if the fire was allowed to spread any longer, Du Huo's side would naturally have no problem, but Sun Quan would be in great trouble if he was trapped in that city!
