Chapter 406: Grand and dignified! (Thanks to Yue Zhen, buff, and Liang Wang Shao Qiansui for their four monthly tickets~)

After hearing Gu Yong's words, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became a little dull.

Obviously, the appearance of enemy tanks did bring them considerable pressure.

A group of tanks that even gunpowder cans cannot penetrate head-on, and yet still have powerful offensive capabilities.

If we can't solve them, it will be difficult to take Xiaopei City...

Lu Bu knew the problem well, so he asked everyone:

"How do you think we should deal with the enemy's chariots?"

After everyone thought for a moment, the school secretary Zhou Yu suddenly stood up and said:

“The enemy’s tanks certainly have strong frontal defense capabilities.

“But if our army can use the Thunderbolt vehicles as bait and bury mine cans underground.

"Then lure the enemy's tanks to destroy the Thunderbolt vehicles, and when the tanks pass through the minefield, detonate the mine cans.

"I believe the bottom of the enemy's tanks won't have such thick defenses!"

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

Lu Bu smiled with satisfaction.

Sure enough, at critical moments, it is these top strategists who can come up with good solutions.

However, Lu Bu still said worriedly:
“Although our army’s mine cans were only used once, the traitors in the army may have informed Zhuge Liang of this.

"Besides, Zhuge Liang himself is a cautious person, and he may be able to see through our army's intentions.

"We must find a way to make the show real, so that Zhuge Liang can confidently use the sidecar to chase the thunderbolt chariot.

"What suggestions do you have for this?"

The reason why the enemy repeatedly focused their attacks on the Thunderbolt Chariot.

This is because the mixed throwing of gunpowder cans and stones is almost unsolvable at the moment!

Of course, as long as there is no one standing on the city wall, everything will be fine.

But if there is no one standing on the city wall, it means that the city cannot be defended.

Lu Bu could easily send his troops to build ladders to climb up the city walls and engage in close combat with the enemy.

In this way, with the advantage in military strength, it will be very easy to capture the city.

Once the Thunderbolt Chariot was destroyed and the biggest threat was eliminated, it would be much easier for Zhuge Liang to defend the city.

Facing Lu Bu's question, Liu Ye stood up, bowed and said:

"We can go to the tower tonight and shout and curse to attract the enemy's attention.

“Then have the soldiers quietly lay minefields at specific locations.

"Then we will attack the city under the cover of night using the Thunderbolt Chariot.

“The enemy will most likely repeat the tactics used during the day and continue to go out of the city to engage our army.

"Then we can slowly move the Thunderbolt Chariot backwards, draw the enemy's chariots to the minefield, and then blow them up!"

After listening to Liu Ye's detailed actions, Lu Bu felt that this method was feasible.

After discussing the details, everyone immediately decided on a plan to fight after dark.

It was already dusk, and Lu Bu ordered the army to rest and eat something.

Wait until it gets dark before continuing.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed and it was already completely dark.

Of Lu Bu's 51,000 troops, excluding those killed in battle and seriously injured, there are only 48,000 left.

After a period of rest, everyone's condition recovered well.

As the attack horn sounded, nearly 50,000 troops once again pushed ten thunder chariots and approached Xiaopei City!

On the tower, Zhuge Liang put down the teacup in his hand, his expression very calm.

He was not at all surprised by Lu Bu's army's attack.

After all, visibility is low at night, which is very beneficial for the Thunderbolt Car's throwing attacks.

However, as long as we replicate the fighting style during the day, it will be difficult for the enemy to launch an effective attack.

Soon, Lu Bu's army arrived under the city wall.

At Lu Bu's instruction, Wei Xu went straight to the tower and shouted:
"Zhuge! You actually let the people of Daze Township drug our army and resorted to such despicable means. You are so shameless!
"Now, thanks to you, all the people in Daze Township are dead!

"You are the real murderer who killed the people of Daze Township!"

Upon hearing Wei Xu's abuse, Zhuge Liang's face suddenly darkened.

This guy is really talking about things that are not related to the topic...

However, just as a hint of anger rose in his heart, Zhuge Liang suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why did the enemy general suddenly come to the battlefield and scold him?
He is not a military general, so it is impossible for him to fight against the enemy in a duel.

Moreover, the enemy should know that they will use the same trick again and go out of the city to fight later, so shouting and cursing here at this moment is obviously unnecessary.

Zhuge Liang raised his eyes and looked towards the rear of the enemy army.

However, there was no moon tonight, so he couldn't see any unusual actions of the enemy, let alone guess what the enemy was trying to do.

But what is certain is that the enemy must have some plan!

He must be careful in his future actions...

Zhuge Liang looked at Wei Xu who was still cursing and replied coldly:
"You are so cruel! I have given you enough face by letting the people of Daze Township give me anesthetics instead of poison.

"I didn't expect that you would slaughter all the people in Daze Township. Now you have the nerve to blame me?
"Didn't Lu Fengxian claim that he never attacked the common people?
"Now it seems that you are still as hypocritical as ever!"

Zhuge Liang cursed back lightly, which made it difficult for Wei Xu to refute.

If you think about it carefully, it is true.

If the enemy had used poison instead of anesthetic, fewer of them would have survived.

However, at this moment, Lu Bu suddenly came to Wei Xu's side and refuted on Wei Xu's behalf:
“I don’t think you would be so kind.

"If my guess is correct, you guys actually have no way of producing a dose of poison that can kill 20,000 soldiers in a short period of time!
“And the herbs needed to prepare the poison are not so easy to find.

"On the contrary, anesthetics are easier to prepare on a large scale.

“After all, the great doctor Hua Tuo in your army is good at this kind of thing.

"I wonder if what I said is right, Zhuge Military Advisor?"

Looking at Lu Bu's half-smile, Zhuge Liang knew very well that this guy was no worse than himself when it came to scolding people.

The key is that the other party really guessed it right!

Poisons are extreme items, and it is not that easy to prepare poison.

The three most famous poisons today: red-crowned crane's head, heartbreak grass and jintan, have materials that are not very widely available.

It is easy to poison a small number of people, but it is obviously impossible to poison an army of 20,000.

Seeing that Lu Bu had exposed his rhetoric, Zhuge Liang could only continue to cover up:
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that I can't do it either!

“And no matter what, the people of Daze Township were killed by you.

"This military advisor will definitely avenge them!"

Seeing that Zhuge Liang's words were so eloquent, Lu Bu was too lazy to engage in verbal battle with him.

At this moment, Liu Ye behind him suddenly nodded at him.

Lu Bu realized that the mines were almost ready, and immediately ordered his army to begin attacking the city.

As the ten Thunderbolt chariots began to adjust their angles, Zhuge Liang on the city wall immediately retreated from the wall.

Order people to open the city gates and let the army and chariots go out of the city to meet the enemy!
