Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 73 Trench
After the crossbow was ejected, due to the rope carrying the stone behind it, the direction deviated and flew sideways towards the city wall.

Woohoo!

The archers on the city wall were hit by the crossbow arrows and the stones they carried, and they were swept away in a large area.

"Ahhh!"

Seeing this scene, Lu Bu couldn't help laughing, "Wei Yue is not bad, I didn't expect to have this trick."

Hearing Lu Bu's praise, Wang Lu was overjoyed and started firing the modified crossbow.

Although the original crossbow bolts are very powerful, they can only hit one soldier at a time, but with this modified crossbow bolt, they can sweep away a large area.

Due to the dispersion of forces, although not many people were actually killed in battle, the deterrent effect has increased.

Seeing this scene, the archer began to worry a little. Will the crossbow arrows shoot around him next time?
The archers on the city wall panicked, and their power weakened a lot. The pressure on the soldiers of Lu Bu's army who were filling the pits below was greatly reduced, and their speed was also much faster.

The people hiding in the city gate tower were also shocked.

Xiahou Dun's expression turned ugly, "At this rate, it shouldn't take long for Lu Bujun to fill the hole."

Xun Yu took a closer look, "General Xiahou, don't worry, they won't make it through, so I'd better tell everyone to be careful."

Every time the earth-filling cart came back, soldiers of Lu Bu's army would step forward skillfully to pull out the arrows on it, and then carefully put them aside.

Lu Bu sighed and said, "If it's not that we don't have time, it would be a good idea for us to cheat their arrows like this."

Chen Gong said bitterly, "When the city is breached, all their arrows will be ours. Marquis Wen must not stop attacking the city for these small profits and delay the opportunity of battle."

While saying this, Chen Gong roared in his heart.

Xue Ti, you wait for me, after the city is broken, I will cut you into pieces!

Wei Yue's soldiers filled the trenches in an orderly manner. Due to their proficiency and speed, they had filled the first trench in half an hour and began to push carts to fill the second trench.

shhhhhh!
clap clap clap!
The arrows in the air continued to shoot at the cart filling the soil.

At the same time, Lu Bujun's crossbow arrows were firing continuously.

Buzz!
Because the archers on the city wall were relatively dense, huge crossbow arrows flew out, and at least five or six archers would fall to the ground every time.

As Xiahou Dun's order was passed down, the archers spread out and their losses were reduced accordingly.

But in this way, the attack distance of many archers is not enough, so they can only watch the battle from the sidelines.

The second trench was quickly filled, and the soldiers of Lu Bu's army pushed the cart and rushed towards the last trench.

Just as the first cart was filling the ditch with soil, at the same time, an order was suddenly heard from the city wall.

"Throw kerosene."

As soon as the words fell, Cao Jun's soldiers who were hiding behind the battlements immediately stood up and threw the kerosene jar in their hands towards the cart with all their strength.

At the same time, some more Cao soldiers lit the torches in their hands, stood up, and threw them towards the cart.

The first two trenches dug by Juancheng were far away from the city wall. When the soldiers of Lu Bu's army filled the soil, the soldiers of Cao's army on the city wall, except for the archers, could only watch the battle and were helpless.

But the third trench is very close to the city wall, and it has reached the distance where Cao Jun soldiers can throw stones and the like on the cart.

Dozens of kerosene jars flew into the air, and soon smashed hard on the cart. With a loud crash, the kerosene in the jars splashed and sprayed on the wooden cart.

At the same time, the torches lit by Cao Jun's soldiers also rolled in the air and landed on the cart.

The kerosene ignited by the torch took only a blink of an eye. As the billowing smoke rose on the wooden cart, orange-red flames began to burn.

Without any precautions, six carts were immediately hit by kerosene, and then ignited by torches, burning violently.

Carts made of wood may not be afraid of archers, but what they fear most is fire.

Seeing the wooden cart burning, the soldiers pushing the cart suddenly panicked, yelled and ran out from behind the cart, trying to escape back to their base.

shhhhhh!
Before these people could take a few steps, countless arrows fell from the sky. When these people shot into hedgehogs, they screamed and fell to the ground.

The rest of the soldiers were so frightened that they didn't bother to fill the soil, and hurriedly retreated with their carts, only to survive.

In a blink of an eye, there were only six carts filled with earth left in front of the ditch, all of which were billowing with thick smoke and burning violently.

"Haha."

There were bursts of laughter from the city gate tower, "That's great. I wonder if they still dare to come?"

"I don't dare to measure them. If I dare to come, I will burn them to ashes, haha."

Hearing what the two said, Cheng Yu felt the pain in his arm, gritted his teeth and said, "As long as we persist for three days, when the lord returns, it will be the end of Lu Bu's children."

This is Xun Yu's method. Although it is very simple, it is very easy to use.

After hearing the descriptions of several people, Xun Yu immediately had a few key words in his mind.

Multifunctional siege vehicles, wooden carts filled with soil, and huge crossbow bolts.

The most critical of these is the cart for filling the soil, and the cart is made of wood, so it can be solved naturally with flames.

Since they can't reach it, it's easy to handle. As long as the trench is pulled closer, the soldiers can naturally throw the torches on the cart to solve the threat of the cart.

It's that simple!
Xun Yu didn't speak, but looked at the burning wooden cart beside the ditch, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Although this method cannot last for a long time, if you persist for three days, you should be able to do it!

Although there was cheers on the city wall, the Lu Bu army below the city stopped still from the cheers and turned their heads to look at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's face was a little ugly, he didn't speak, just quietly looked at the burning cart.

There were only 25 carts in total, and six of them had been destroyed in the blink of an eye. If it continued, the remaining dozen or so carts would be reimbursed soon.

What should I do?
Chen Gong widened his eyes and looked in the direction of the city wall. After a long time, he roared, "Hateful, really hateful!"

Wei Yue ran over quickly and asked hurriedly, "Marquis Wen, the enemy burned the cart, what should we do?"

Lu Bu frowned, and turned to look at the angry Chen Gong, "Gongtai, do you have a solution?"

Uh!
Chen Gong was taken aback, and then said with a wry smile, "They dug the trench so close to the city wall, no matter what method we use, I'm afraid we will be attacked by them."

Wei Yue suddenly said, "Marquis Wen, why don't we water the cart?"

Chen Gong waved his hand, "No."
