Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 300 Dangerous City
Xuchang, outside the south gate.

"stop!"

The newly built catapult slowly stopped at a position [-] steps away from the city gate. Wei Yan looked back at the direction of the catapult, ordered the wrestlers to make some adjustments and shouted: "Formation, wind!"

Equipment can also use the power of the military formation, just like the arrow formation, but a special military formation is needed to integrate the power of the general formation into the equipment.

Bows and arrows are relatively easy. Heavy siege equipment like catapults not only require the position of the army, but also need special craftsmen and Hercules to control them. Not everyone can control catapults.

The arrow array Cao Xing is in charge of is further back. With the arrow array blessed by the army, even ordinary generals can increase the shooting range by more than three times. Cao Xing, who is more talented, can probably extend the shooting range to three to three times. Wuli, as for Huang Zhong's kind, let alone those who can use the arrow array as a cannon array, many times you can't see people.

The wells and ladders in the front row formed a special formation and began to slowly approach the city wall. The large army formation did not follow, and the engineering army would not formally enter the battle until the first round of equipment attack was successful, otherwise the casualties would be severe. It will expand, and the soldiers are not too willing to rush directly like this.

The method of ant attachment is rarely used immediately.

Although Chu Nan has fought many battles, this is the first time that this kind of serious siege battle has been witnessed in person. Looking at the sky above the city wall in the distance, the green energy is soaring to the sky, which faintly coincides with the luck above the city, but that The luck is a bit dimmer than before.

The luck of the army formation is golden, and at this moment it is slowly falling from the top of the city, covering the city wall.

"put!"

Wei Yan waved his hand, but heard a creaking sound from the catapult, and then a dozen stone bullets blasted towards the city wall like meteorites.

This is not an exaggeration at all, the power of the stone bullet supported by the military formation is no less than that of ordinary artillery shells, and it appeared on the city wall almost instantly.

"Boom~"

In Chu Nan's sight, the golden light wrapped around the city wall surged violently. After penetrating through that layer of golden light, the stone bullets seemed to be overwhelmed and shattered, turning into countless fragments and falling towards the soldiers at the top of the city, but they were lost. lethality.

Wei Yan was not discouraged either. After the first round of stone bomb attack, the second round of preparations began, but the preparation time of the catapult was too slow. Taking advantage of this time, the arrow array at the top of the city had already started to point at the moving Jing, Charging cars, shooting arrows from ladders, and some with rockets falling on the leather-wrapped car body lasted for a long time before the flames were extinguished. Obviously, the rockets were still attached with kerosene, and once ignited, they were not easy to extinguish.

"Fire arrows!"

At the back of the formation, Cao Xing gave the order to release arrows, and rows of arrows gathered towards the top of the city. Under the dense rain of arrows, holes appeared in the golden light of the top of the city from time to time, allowing the arrows to shoot in, although their power was greatly reduced. , but still able to penetrate the body of ordinary soldiers.

It seems that they are fighting independently, but the entire battlefield is a whole under the command of Lu Bu. Chu Nan is in it, and besides the majesty of the battlefield, what he feels is that the entire battlefield seems to be fighting independently, but in fact it is mutual. Supporting cooperation.

Under Lu Bu's command, the Jianghuai Army is like a giant war machine, and the army led by each general is like each important component, cooperating with each other without affecting each other.

Chu Nan remembered that his teacher said that Lu Bu's ability to command in front of battle was no less than his ability in martial arts.

The rhythm of the battlefield is gradually advancing under Lu Bu's command. Although the two sides are confronting each other, they are still in the warm-up stage. The art of directing.

And in Xuchang City, just when the two sides were already engaged in battle, Kong Rong and the others looked at Dong Cheng's body that hadn't been cleaned up in Wengcheng, all of them looked gloomy.

"The minor injuries Wen Ruo mentioned seem to be different from what we know." Wang Zifu looked at Dong Cheng's body, then looked at Xun Yu, and sternly said, "Xun Lingjun, Cao Cao is dead, you still think that Xu Chang is In the past, you could cover the sky with one hand!?"

"Everyone, no matter what, should the enemy be the first priority at this time?" Xun Yu sighed, and he didn't want to argue with these people any longer. The city wall is strong and protected by the army, but it is also difficult to withstand the enemy's attacks in turn.

As someone who has fought against Lu Bu head-on, he has a clear understanding of Lu Bu's ability. Lu Bu's ability to attack and annihilate is not inferior to his ability to command cavalry.

"Defend against the enemy?" Kong Rong sneered, "Wen Ruo, the edict in your hand is an edict ordering Lv Bu to enter the city. If you hadn't killed Dong Cheqi so recklessly, Lv Bu might not have attacked the city!"

"Lv Bu's entry into the city and Lv Bu's invasion of Xuchang are two different things!" Xun Yu said with a grim expression, "You are all well-educated people, don't you understand this!?"

Lu Bu entered the city under the imperial edict to enter the city under the order of the emperor, which can show the majesty of the emperor, but if Lv Bu invaded Xuchang, no matter what the reason was, it would be a violation of the majesty of the emperor.

Kong Rong was about to say that he was going out of the city to persuade Lu Bu to retreat for the time being, when suddenly he frowned, looked back towards the direction of the city, and his face gradually darkened.

"Wen Jugong?" Zhong Ji looked at Kong Rong suspiciously.

"There are riots in the city!" Kong Rong said in a deep voice, "The popularity of the people is constantly being weakened!"

Everyone's complexion changed when they heard the words. The weakening of popularity meant that Confucianism's ability was greatly reduced. Without the blessing of popularity, even if they were famous Confucians, they would not be able to last long on the city wall, and their aura of arrogance would be exhausted.

After Kong Rong became a sage, he received more popularity from the people, and because of this, he became more sensitive to the popularity of the people. When the popularity of the people in the city changed, he immediately felt it.

Xun Yu's heart sank a little. Lu Bu's routine seemed to be different from the past. In the past, Lu Bu only knew how to fight fiercely with his own ability, but now he is now using internal tactics to split people's hearts and incite public opinion. After this routine, Xu Chang's defensive power must be weakened.

"Everyone, go to the city to support, and I will go to the city to deal with this matter!" Xun Yu didn't care to say anything more to the crowd, leaving a word and walked into the city.

"Go and invite famous Confucianists from various schools to come to the city to help, first defend today and then talk about other things." Zhong Ji sighed and asked people to gather people. Only a few of them may not be able to stop Lu Bu.

"Damn it, we have already reached a settlement with Lu Bu, who would have thought that something like this would happen again." Wang Zifu scolded angrily, "Then Cao Mengde's gang of arrogant soldiers will only do bad things."

"Mr. Wen Ju, you said that if Lu Bu's siege was related to the death of General Dong Cheng, how did Lu Bu know that General Dong Cheng was dead?" Zhong Ji suddenly thought of a question, how did Lu Bu know that Dong Cheng was dead, and Offensive?
Kong Rong, who was walking, was startled for a moment, then shook his head: "Perhaps there is some way. Then Lu Bu has been in the Central Plains for many years, and there are some strange people under his command."

Having said that, everyone is not a fool, and the connection of time is too tight, it feels like it is well designed.

Although he has his own political demands, if Lu Bu is too strong, he may be the second Cao Cao, which is not what they want to see, especially the new policy that Lu Bu introduced in Xuzhou.

Thinking of this, everyone felt a little nervous. Although Lu Bu was the one they chose to help them suppress Cao Cao's old troops, the reason for choosing him was that he was easy to control. Allowing control is average, and they are confident in controlling Lu Bu, so they are ready to welcome Lu Bu into the city.

But what if Lu Bu is out of control?
Everyone didn't think about it before. After all, many people present had been in contact with Lu Bu. They couldn't understand what kind of virtue Lu Bu was, but now they had to think about this question.

When they got to the top of the city, everyone immediately began to use their words to strengthen Xuchang's defenses.

Beside Lu Bu, Chu Nan watched the green aura from the city head of Xuchang quickly melt into the city wall, followed by the great reduction in the damage caused by the catapult to the city wall.

At this moment, he can intuitively feel the principle of Confucianism, which is to mobilize the youthful energy belonging to the will of the people for his own use, but how much he can mobilize depends on the person.

Shi A has been preparing for so many days, but I don't know how effective it will be!
Just when Chu Nan was thinking about these problems, Lu Bu obviously also found that the defensive capabilities of the city had greatly increased, and was about to say something to Chu Nan, when he suddenly saw a few pillars of smoke rising from the city, his eyes lit up!
"Zi Yan, is this your man?" Lu Bu asked.

Chu Nan was observing the changes in luck, and didn't notice the wisps of black smoke. He only noticed it when he heard about Lu Bu's culture.

Shaking his head: "My son-in-law doesn't know, father-in-law is waiting for me to contact the demon ants!"

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, and shared the vision of the demon ant through the strange induction with the demon ant.

In Xuchang City, Shi A was amazed that this little animal could write after receiving the written notification from the monster ant, but the meaning that Chu Nan conveyed was also obvious.

Immediately changed his attire, contacted the officials whom he had secretly coerced by various means these days, and promised them that there would be rewards after Lu Bu broke the city. Pedestrians had already been banned in the city. In order to incite the hearts of the people, Shi A led people to set fires around and drove them out of the house.

Then those people arranged by the officials began to spread rumors everywhere. For a while, rumors spread everywhere in Xuchang City. In Chu Nan's eyes, it was the green energy that was dissipating at an extremely fast speed.

"Father-in-law, it's time to break the city!" Chu Nan withdrew his divine thoughts, looked at Lu Bu and said, "The people in the city are in chaos, it's time to launch a general attack!"

Lu Bu nodded when he heard the words, and when the flag was waved, the rhythm of the siege suddenly accelerated. At the same time, the generals from all walks of life also began to move forward. With their respective soldiers and horses rushing up the ladder, they went straight to the top of the city.

Feeling the rapid disappearance of popularity, a group of Confucian scholars were panicking, but seeing Lu Bu's army's sudden offensive became violent, they panicked for a while.

On the contrary, Cao Peng and others were not afraid of the enemy troops who kept rushing up from the ladder, and commanded the soldiers to fight the enemy together. As the green energy faded, Xuchang City began to become precarious!
