Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 388: Seeing Death as Home! (Thanks to Xiaoshanjun from Yelang and Encountering Zhihouzq for their monthly ticket support~)

Faced with just a hundred gunpowder cans, this group of soldiers holding fur soft shields were obviously professionally trained.

Although his face was serious, he was not at all chaotic.

It was as if this was not the first time he had seen these powder cans.

Seeing the gunpowder pot approaching, they immediately took a brave step forward.

He used the soft fur shield in his hand to steadily catch the gunpowder cans one by one!
Of course, there were some people who made operational mistakes and were blown to pieces by the gunpowder jars along with their shields.

But out of the one hundred cans, more than ninety were thrown onto the city wall, but only a dozen successfully detonated!
Lu Bu, standing on the city wall, looked at the white fur soft shield in the hands of the enemy and frowned slightly.

It was amazing that most of the gunpowder jars didn't explode when they hit it!

I think these shields were probably made by Zhuge Liang or some talented people around him specifically for gunpowder pots.

It turns out that the wisdom of the ancients should never be underestimated!

However, this soft fur shield also has a disadvantage, which is that it cannot keep the gunpowder can after catching it.

The gunpowder cans would slide down the surface of the shield and fall directly to the bottom of the tower where they would be re-detonated.

Only a few brave people dared to reach out and catch the falling gunpowder jar...

However, even if the gunpowder jars were not left behind and could not exert their power, it had already achieved a very good confrontational effect.

Lu Bu deeply realized that Zhuge Liang and his men had really found a way to fight against the gunpowder jars.

It turns out that technology must be constantly innovated, otherwise it will be easy to be targeted by the enemy.

The good news is that although the enemy has found a way to counter the gunpowder jars, they have not yet figured out how to make them themselves.

At least in the short term, they don't need to worry about the enemy mastering the technology of gunpowder jars.

Lu Bu did not continue to launch a second round of gunpowder cans.

He believed that anything Zhuge produced must be high quality.

Firing another round of gunpowder cans would not have much effect, but would instead waste the precious black powder.

Guo Jia, who was standing behind him, saw Lu Bu's dilemma and stepped forward, pointing at the city gate and saying:

"My lord, why don't you throw gunpowder jars at the enemy's city gate?
“The city gates are all made of solid wood.

"But it is wood after all. It is easier to break under the constant bombardment of gunpowder cans!"

After Guo Jia's reminder, a hint of approval appeared in Lu Bu's deep eyes, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to adjust the projection angle of the Thunderbolt Chariot.

During the adjustment process, Liu Yuanqi quickly saw the enemy's intention and his expression changed slightly.

Now that Xu Chu is injured and away, he can only rely on himself to find a solution.

If the enemy really blew open the city gate, they would definitely not be able to stop the enemy from rushing into the city!

Thinking of this, Liu Yuanqi immediately looked at his general Wang Kuang beside him:
"General Wang, the enemy is trying to blow up our city gate. If we really let them blow up the city gate, we will have no way to defend Qiao City!
"Can you lead a thousand soldiers to open the city gates and use fur soft shields to fight against the enemy's gunpowder jars at the gates?"

As Wang Kuang was once one of the eighteen princes, he was naturally unwilling to do such a dangerous thing.

But now he also knew that without Xu Chu's command, if he did not do something, the city would be breached by the enemy sooner or later!

Thinking of this, Wang Kuang immediately led a thousand soldiers holding fur soft shields down to the bottom of the city tower and opened the city gate.

Line up the soldiers holding shields in two rows to deal with the gunpowder cans thrown by the enemy at any time!
After several rounds of testing, the angle of the Thunderbolt Chariot was finally adjusted. But Lu Bu couldn't help frowning as he looked at the enemy troops lined up in two rows in front of the city gate.

The enemy's reaction speed is really fast.

In this way, the enemy's city gates are directly opened, so why is there any need for bombing again?
But the enemy's suspension bridge was not lowered, so they had no way to charge straight through.

Seeing that his side had lost their attack method once again, Lu Bu's eyes were filled with murderous intent!
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly thought of something and immediately ordered the soldiers to place slingshots on half of the thunder chariots.

The other half of the Thunderbolt Car continued to place gunpowder cans.

Following Lu Bu's order, gunpowder cans mixed with stones were thrown at the soldiers in front of the city gate at the same time!
Seeing the huge stone flying towards them with a terrifying whistling sound, the soldiers in front of the city gate changed their faces and almost instinctively fled into the city!

However, a thousand soldiers rushed towards the city gate at the same time and soon formed a ball!
The soldiers in the rear who didn't have time to escape were either smashed into pieces by stones or blown up by gunpowder cans!
Hundreds of people were killed in just one wave of attack!
Wang Kuang, who was hiding inside the city gate, looked at this scene with a pale face.

How can they resist this mixed attack from the enemy?

At this moment, a heavy voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Everyone, get out of my way! The enemy's threat comes from those Thunderbolt Chariots!

"As long as we destroy those ten Thunderbolt Chariots, how can the enemy still threaten us?"

Wang Kuang immediately turned around and looked at Xu Chu, whose upper body was covered with wounds.

I didn't expect that Lu Bu's arrow would explode...

It seems that the enemy has made great progress in using the new weapon.

Seeing Xu Chu planning to lead the 3,000 clan members behind him to forcibly destroy the enemy's Thunderbolt Chariot, Wang Kuang hurriedly stopped him and said:
"General Xu is already seriously injured. He is also the commander of the city. How can he take such a big risk?"

Xu Chu glanced at him coldly:
"If I don't go, will you go?"

Wang Kuang suddenly fell silent.

Seeing Wang Kuang stop talking, Xu Chu showed a hint of disdain in his eyes, and immediately said to the three thousand soldiers behind him:

"We are blessed by Uncle Liu and Military Advisor Zhuge for not abandoning us and for placing us in important positions.

"Our hometown Qiaocheng is in danger right now, and we should offer our humble contribution!
"You are all my brothers from my hometown. You should fight to the death with me, and your primary goal is to destroy the enemy's Thunderbolt Chariot!"

Upon hearing this, a group of soldiers from the Xu family, who were as strong as Xu Chu, responded in unison!
Wang Kuang, who was standing by, was also deeply moved when he saw these people ready to die.

He immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists towards Xu Chu and said:

"The general only has 3,000 soldiers, so I'm afraid we may not succeed.

“I am willing to lead 5,000 cavalrymen to charge first to attract the enemy’s attention.

"General, while our army is fighting the enemy, you can take the opportunity to bring your hammer and destroy the enemy's Thunderbolt Chariot!"

Seeing Wang Kuang volunteering, Xu Chu finally showed a hint of approval:
"Good! With General Wang's cooperation, our army will definitely achieve our goal!"

After the two men finished their conversation, Wang Kuang immediately led 5,000 cavalrymen to rush out of the city.

Xu Chu followed with three thousand soldiers.

Among these three thousand soldiers, five hundred were wearing rattan armor invented by military advisor Zhuge.

With the protection of these vine armors, the defensive capabilities of our formation can be greatly enhanced!
