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

Chapter 390 Landmine Jar! (Thanks to Bei Will and book friend 201…818 for the two monthly tickets~)

Lu Bu looked at a piece of rattan armor that he had cleaned up from the battlefield, felt its smooth surface, and pressed hard inside.

Not as hard as imagined, but extremely flexible.

It was exactly the same rattan armor worn by the rattan armor soldiers they encountered when they fought against Liu Bei's army in Runan before.

At that time, they had already captured dozens of sets of rattan armor and brought them back for research.

But unfortunately, no one has figured out how to make this fire-resistant rattan armor.

Just like Zhuge Liang couldn't imitate the gunpowder jar, they couldn't imitate this rattan armor in a short period of time.

The barriers to entry for both technologies are high.

Moreover, the spies they planted inside the enemy army were unable to obtain the method of making this rattan armor.

Obviously, there should not be many people who know this production method, and they are all people that Zhuge Liang absolutely trusts.

Lu Bu returned the rattan armor in his hand to Hao Meng, and then looked towards the enemy's city.

After the previous battle, it was getting dark.

After some consideration, Lu Bu decided to continue attacking the city under the cover of night!

After all, after dark, visibility is greatly reduced, and it will be difficult for the enemy to use fur soft shields to catch their gunpowder cans.

Combined with the stone-throwing attack, Lu Bu had no idea how the enemy could respond.

After letting his army rest for a while, he once again aimed the Thunderbolt Chariot at the enemy's city wall in front of their horrified eyes.

Xu Chu on the city wall had gradually calmed down at this moment.

Seeing that the enemy was planning to continue attacking the city in the dark, he felt that his hope of holding on was becoming increasingly slim.

Liu Yuanqi, who was standing by, saw that the time was ripe and advised again:
“Right now, there are nearly 15,000 active soldiers left in my city.

"General, why don't you lead the army to retreat to Xiaopei and gather the 15,000 soldiers there to defend together.

"It's much more certain than staying here!"

After listening to Liu Yuanqi's words, Xu Chu considered for a long time and finally agreed:

"In that case, you can lead 10,000 troops to leave from the east gate first, and I will lead 5,000 troops to retreat afterwards."

Liu Yuanqi bowed with joy:
"The general is wise!"

After saying that, Liu Yuanqi immediately led 10,000 infantrymen to quietly evacuate from the east gate.

However, this scene had already been discovered by the scouts sent by Guo Jia.

Guo Jia immediately informed Lu Bu of this matter:
“Now 10,000 enemy troops have quietly withdrawn, and Xu Chu is leading the remaining 5,000 troops, which must be to attract our army’s attention.

"My Lord, you can immediately send a large army to besiege Qiaocheng, with each side leading more than 10,000 people.

"By then, Xu Chu and his five thousand soldiers will be trapped!"

After hearing Guo Jia's plan, Lu Bu immediately acted according to it and ordered Hao Meng and Zhou Tai to lead 13,000 troops to stay here.

Huang Gai and Cheng Pu led 13,000 men to guard the south gate, while Jiang Qin and Han Dang led an equal number of troops to guard the north gate.

He personally led 10,000 soldiers to guard the east gate.

Xu Chu, who was on the city wall, saw that the enemy had surrounded the city and immediately realized that something was wrong.

He looked around and immediately decided to break out from the east gate where there were the least people.

I hope Liu Yuanqi can find out what's going on here and come back to rescue us...

As the east city gate opened wide, Xu Chu immediately led five thousand soldiers and horses to break out!

But what he didn't expect was that he saw a general from the enemy army riding out on horseback.

The horse's body is red, and the general on its back is majestic and powerful, and it is Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian!
After the previous defeat, Xu Chu now had a psychological trauma when he saw Lu Bu. However, at this moment, he could no longer be afraid and could only bite the bullet and lead 5,000 soldiers to charge towards the enemy!
Seeing the enemy rushing towards him, Lu Bu used the same old trick again and ordered the soldiers at the front to throw gunpowder cans at the enemy.

Xu Chu, who had already suffered a loss, saw the enemy's gunpowder cans and shouted to the front-line soldiers:
"Raise your shield! Catch the enemy's gunpowder cans for me!"

Under Xu Chu's command, the front-row soldiers quickly raised their fur shields and caught most of the gunpowder cans thrown at them.

But there were still a few gunpowder cans that exploded under their feet, causing screams!
But this time, because the force of the throw was smaller.

The group of people who caught the gunpowder can also successfully took it off the shield.

After holding the jars that frightened them, the soldiers threw them back to Lu Bu's army in anger!

The front-line soldiers of Lu Bu's army had no means to deal with the situation in a short period of time, and many of them were blown to pieces in the flames...

Lu Bu looked at this scene and realized that it was not appropriate to use gunpowder bottles now, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to attack!

At this moment Xu Chu had been seriously injured and could only fight back reluctantly.

Fortunately, the 3,000 clan soldiers he led fought bravely and managed to stop the enemy.

At the same time, Guo Jia in the rear saw that the fighting between the two sides was at a stalemate, so he immediately sent a small team of troops to bury a minefield behind Lu Bu's army.

When the trap was set, Guo Jia immediately ordered someone to inform Lu Bu to let Xu Chu's army pass.

After a fierce fighting, only 3,000 soldiers were left on Xu Chu's side.

Lu Bu also lost more than a thousand soldiers.

It is undeniable that the three thousand people following Xu Chu are indeed much stronger than ordinary soldiers.

I think the reason why Xu Chu grew up to be so strong and sturdy is because of his family genes.

At this time, Lu Bu suddenly learned that Guo Jia asked them to let Xu Chu's army pass and not to pursue them.

Lu Bu immediately understood Guo Jia's intention and ordered his troops to move to both sides and not allow them to pursue.

Xu Chu didn't know why the enemy suddenly stopped trying to stop him, and thought that Liu Yuanqi's army had come to rescue him.

Without giving it much thought, he immediately led more than 2,000 soldiers to flee madly towards the east.

Guo Jia and others who were lying in ambush nearby saw the enemy rushing out, calculated the time, and immediately ordered people to light the fuse of the mine can.

When Xu Chu's army passed through the minefield laid by mine cans, there was suddenly a series of "boom boom boom" explosions!

Xu Chu's army never imagined that the enemy's gunpowder bottles would explode right under their feet!

Although the sand slightly reduced the power of the explosion, it was more than enough to blow off their legs!
Xu Chu, who was riding a horse, also had his horse's legs blown off by a terrifying gust of air. He flew off the horse and fell heavily to the ground!

He got up from the ground with difficulty.

Listening to the wailing sounds all around, watching his clan brothers' legs being blown to pieces, howling in pain, and breathing heavily uncontrollably!

There was half anger and half sadness in his eyes.

However, facing this hellish scene, he felt a strong sense of powerlessness!
Why...why does the enemy have such a terrifying weapon?

Why did his clan brothers have to suffer such torture and attack?

Xu Chu's expression was extremely depressed, but he had not lost his will to fight.

Because he saw that some of the clan members who were lucky enough were struggling to get up from the ground.

Their legs were not injured, so they still had a chance to escape!
Seeing the enemy rushing towards them again, Xu Chu hurriedly shouted to the clan members:

"Run away! I'll cover your retreat!"

As he spoke, Xu Chu used the Fire Cloud Sword to support his severely injured body, and under the sad gaze of the clan members, he rushed straight towards the enemy...
