Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 100 Negotiation
When Lu Bu returned to his residence, the first thing he did was to open the control panel to check how much support he had lost.

After this battle, both soldiers and refugees suffered heavy losses, and the amount of support they lost must be quite a lot.

Seeing his remaining support points, Lu Bu let out an angry roar.

"hateful."

The original support point is 35630 points.

Now, it has become 29100 points.

They actually lost more than 5000 support points, which means that the loss of refugees and soldiers reached nearly 6000.

Thinking of Cao Mengde hiding in Puyang City, Lu Bu sighed.

If you want to take back Puyang City, you may have to lose a lot of support points.

Most importantly, how to take back Puyang is the big question?

Although Cao Cao's losses must have been heavier than his own, I am afraid that the strength of both sides is now truly evenly matched.

In this case, how to attack the city?

The reason why the attack on the three places in Juancheng went smoothly was because there were not many soldiers in Juancheng, and they dared not come out to fight.

Therefore, the multifunctional siege vehicle can also attack unscrupulously outside the city.

If the city dares to send people out, there is no need for a multi-functional siege vehicle, just take the opportunity to rush into the city, and the city can be easily broken.

But now the number of soldiers and horses on both sides is equal. Once the multi-functional siege vehicle is used, if Cao's army takes the opportunity to leave the city and destroy the multi-functional siege vehicle, it will be completely embarrassing!

It was for this reason that Lu Bu felt a little headache. How should he break the city?
The most important thing is that you can't even retreat now.

Because, once the troops retreat, the land reclaimed west of Puyang may all fall into the hands of Cao Mengde.

And those refugees will also be lost!
Once these refugees are all lost or surrendered, Lu Bu cannot afford this loss.

He now only has more than 2 support points left. Once he loses so many refugees, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, now we can only find a way to break the city, drive Cao Mengde out of Yanzhou, or destroy him directly.

Puyang City.

In the hall, Cao Cao sat at the head of the table. Although he still looked majestic, he narrowed his eyes slightly, but he could not hide a trace of worry.

I thought that Lu Bu was a reckless and ignorant child, but who would have thought that he could use refugees to win this battle.

I really underestimated him!

"Everyone, this is the end of the matter, do you have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

When everyone heard the words, they all bowed their heads and remained silent.

After this defeat, the army's morale was in turmoil, and their morale had already dropped to a low point. Needless to say defeating Lv Bu at this time, as long as they were not defeated by Lv Bu, it was already considered a great joy.

Seeing that no one answered, Cao Cao frowned, and the hesitation in his eyes became more serious.

Cao Hong stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, why don't we wait until late at night before our troops attack Lu Bu's camp?"

Night attack is also a well-regulated style of play, even if it is not successful, it will not be a big defeat.

Cao Hong has rich combat experience, so he made this suggestion.

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Yu stepped forward, raised his remaining arm, and waved, "No."

Cheng Yu's tone paused, and he explained, "General Cao, the refugee camp is closely connected with the military camp, and there are so many refugees. Once our army goes to sneak attack, even if we succeed, they will be besieged by refugees. The loss is heavy, and the gain outweighs the loss!"

Hearing this, Cao Hong recalled the horrific fighting style of those refugees, and his complexion also changed. He cupped his hands and said nothing.

Lu Bu connected the refugee camp to the military camp just for the convenience of taking care of them, but he didn't expect that it would bring unexpected benefits.

Cheng Yu said with a wry smile, "If it was just Lu Bu's army, our army would not be afraid, but with those refugees, the outcome is unpredictable!"

A wave of anger rose from the bottom of Cao Cao's heart, and he couldn't help snorting, "The refugees are really hateful. If they weren't troublesome, our army would have won today."

Cheng Yu said slowly, "If our army goes out of the city, the outcome will be unpredictable. In this case, it is better to defend Puyang and use the city wall to consume the strength of Lu Bu's army. On the contrary, it is safer."

Hearing this, Xiahou Dun hastily stepped forward and cupped his hands, "No, don't forget, Lu Bu's army still has multifunctional siege vehicles. It may be very difficult to defend the city!"

All the people present, except Xiahou Dun and others, did not stay in Yanzhou, so they have never seen the power of the multi-functional siege vehicle.

Cao Ren frowned, and asked tentatively, "General Xiahou, is it really so powerful to have a multi-functional siege vehicle?"

Xiahou Dun nodded with a wry smile, "It's powerful. It's very powerful. As long as the multi-functional siege vehicle is close to the city wall, no one will dare to touch its edge within a radius of dozens of steps."

Having said that, Xiahou Dun sighed, "Lu Bu's army is not only powerful with multifunctional siege vehicles, but also has a huge crossbow, you must have seen it today.

The crossbow arrows fired by it are almost as thick as spears, and they can penetrate gold and stone, as long as they are shot, no one will be spared.

Lu Bu's army has these two weapons. It may not be easy for our army to defend the city. "

Cheng Yu snorted coldly, "General Xiahou, the reason why Lu Bu's multifunctional siege vehicles were allowed to attack the city unscrupulously was because our army was short of troops.

Now that the lord has returned with his soldiers and horses, if Lu Bu still dares to send a multifunctional siege vehicle to attack the city, then our army only needs to send troops out of the city to destroy the multifunctional siege vehicle.

Once Lu Bu's son doesn't have a multi-purpose siege vehicle, I can see how rampant he will be. "

When Xiahou Dun heard these words, his eyes lit up immediately, he clapped his hands suddenly, and said with a smile, "Mr. Cheng, what you said makes sense. As long as the multi-functional siege vehicle is destroyed, it is a dream for Lv Bu to break through the city." .”

Cheng Yu nodded, and then sneered, "Although those refugees helped Lu Bu defeat us today, but in this way, even if he wants to retreat, it is impossible for him to stay and attack the city.

At that time, as long as our army takes the opportunity to consume the strength of Lu Bu's army, when the time is right, our army will have the best chance to defeat Lu Bu's army. "

When everyone heard these words, they suddenly realized that they nodded their heads in agreement.

At this time, Lu Bu could no longer leave Puyang, so he could only continue to persevere, and the only way was to break through Puyang City. Apart from that, there was no other choice.

Xiahou Dun laughed loudly, "Great, if that's the case, then we'll wait in Puyang for Lu Bu's son to throw himself into a trap, haha."

Cheng Yu felt the pain of losing his arm, and there was a venomous light in his eyes.

Lu Bu, I must avenge this revenge!
Hearing what everyone said, Cao Cao nodded slightly, "That's fine, let's pass on an order to let everyone stick to honesty and never make mistakes, or we will be dealt with by military law."

Cao Cao wanted to defeat Lu Bu as soon as possible, but he also knew that he must be cautious in this matter, otherwise, not only would he not be able to defeat Lu Bu, but he might even be defeated by Lu Bu himself.

In comparison, defending the city is a safer way.
