Chapter 139(1/2)
Lu Bu led the army to rush all the way, hoping to reach Puyang before the city gate was repaired.
Halfway through the journey, Zhang Liao sent someone back to report the news.
"I reported to Marquis Wen that the gate of Puyang City has not been repaired, but it is sealed with sand and gravel. It is no longer possible to enter the city."
Upon hearing the news, Lu Bu's expression changed, and he secretly cried out.
The city gate is sealed with sand and stones. Even if there is a catapult, it will be of no avail. It seems that Cao Mengde has already expected this.
When Chen Gong heard the news, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, "I didn't expect that Cao Mengde would even think of such a trivial matter and not give us a chance!"
At this point, Chen Gong suddenly snorted, "He sealed this city gate with sand and stones. We can enter through other factory gates."
Upon hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes lit up.
He also has flame stones here. Since Cao Mengde can blow open the city gate, he can too.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu hurriedly ordered the army to speed up, hoping to reach Puyang before Cao Mengde thought of it.
The group of people hurried all the way, and finally arrived ten miles away from Puyang City near dusk.
Lu Bu ordered the team to stop and rest, and at the same time sent spies to check the news at other city gates.
Although Lu Bu was full of expectations, the news that came back made him extremely disappointed.
All the gates of Puyang City have been sealed by sand and stones. If you want to enter the city, you can only attack from the city wall.
Lu Bu had no choice but to let people set up camp. At the same time, he invited the generals to discuss and find a way to attack.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Lu Bu sat in the middle. He looked around and saw that everyone was already here, and then he spoke slowly.
"Cao Mengde captured Puyang, we must find a way to take it back. Do you have any ideas?"
When everyone heard Lu Bu's question, they all lowered their heads, saying that there was nothing they could do.
Even Chen Gong, the most resourceful person, was frowning at the moment and looking at the ground, looking thoughtful.
Now everyone knows the situation in Puyang, and they all know that it is simply impossible to attack the city.
When Chen Gong saw that no one was speaking, he sighed and said with a wry smile.
"No matter what solution everyone has, bring it forward and discuss it with everyone."
In the past, when attacking a city, even if the city wall was stormed, one had to find a way to go down and open the gate and let the army in. Only when the army entered the city could the city be completely occupied.
Because no matter how many ladders there are, even if the city wall can be captured, as long as the enemy counterattacks, it is still possible to turn defeat into victory.
Only by opening the city gate and letting more people in can we achieve the final victory.
Now that Puyang City has been transformed by Cao Mengde, if you want to enter the city, you can only enter through the city wall. This has increased the difficulty so much that it can even be said that it is impossible to break the city.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Lu Bu frowned and asked, "Isn't there nothing that everyone can do?"
Wei Xu suddenly stood up and said, "Can we blow up the city wall?"
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, "Impossible."
Even though the flame stone is powerful, it is still powerless against a solid city wall.
Unless there are so many flame stones that there is no need to worry, just throw them at the city wall unscrupulously, and it may be possible to blow up the city wall.
But how is this possible?
It is simply too difficult to get a flame stone. If Lu Bu hadn't been so powerful, he might not even have gotten one.
Chen Gong sighed and said, "The city of Puyang is strong. If our army has sufficient strength, we can completely surround Puyang. When Cao Mengde runs out of food, he will leave the city and surrender.
It's just a pity that our army doesn't have enough troops to do it."
Seeing that everyone was helpless, Lu Bu had no choice but to return to his residence and once again ordered Zhang Hu and Li Gu to return to the tent and drink in a low voice.
"Enter the game."
Lu Bu stood under the big tree and thought about it carefully, and decided to try his luck at Black Iron Mountain. If he could get better things, it would not be difficult to break the city.
On the way to Black Iron Mountain, Lu Bu called the lonely salted fish again.
"Lonely salted fish, are you here?"
"Boss, I'm here. You came to the game. Where are you now? I'm looking for you?"
Lu Bu smiled bitterly, "No need, I'm in trouble with you this time. I hope you can think of a way to solve it?"
"What trouble? Didn't you drive Cao Cao to Xuzhou? What trouble is there?"
Lu Bu sighed, "Lonely salted fish, do you know that Cao Mengde did not go to Xuzhou, but to Puyang."
"What?"
The lonely Xianyu was immediately startled, "Boss, you said Cao Cao went to Puyang, how is this possible?"
"Lonely salted fish, Cao Mengde has occupied Puyang City. I just want to ask a question, is there any way to take it back?"
Hearing Lu Bu's question, the lonely Xianyu smiled bitterly. In terms of wisdom, he may not be as good as Lu Bu. The only advantage is that he is a descendant and knows all the history. Of course, he also knows more knowledge.
But if he knows this knowledge, can he help Lu Bu?
"Boss, to be honest, when it comes to fighting, I'm far worse than you. If you ask me about this, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you."
Although Lu Bu had already expected the lonely salted fish's answer, he was still a little disappointed after hearing these words.
"A lonely salted fish, is there really nothing you can do?"
"I'm really sorry. I've never seen anything about siege. I really can't help you."
At this point, Lonely Xianyu paused for a moment and then said, "When you were in Xiapi, you were flooded by Cao Cao, so you failed.
Puyang is not far from the big river. Why don't you release the water too, maybe you can also flood Cao Mengde."
Lu Bu shook his head and said, "No, Puyang has a high terrain. It's probably impossible to flood it with water."
The lonely Xianyu thought for a while, "Boss, please let me think about it, and I will give you an answer when I think of it."
Lu Bu nodded, turned off the communicator, and continued to rush towards the Black Iron Mountain.
Arriving at the foot of Black Iron Mountain and looking at a small cave next to it, Lu Bu's heart suddenly moved and he suddenly remembered something.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
When the Third Young Master led his men to attack the Spider Cave, they used an item, the portal.
According to Lonely Xianyu, portals should be available in the military. What if I also buy a portal?
This thought arose in Lu Bu's mind, and he was immediately out of control.
If there is a teleportation gate, just set it up in the city, and then a large number of soldiers and horses can enter the city directly without even attacking the city wall, which will save you a lot of trouble.
The most important thing is that you can also take Cao Mengde by surprise. If you attack him from behind when he is not paying attention, you will definitely lose.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu opened the communication again, "Lonely salted fish, are you here?"
"I'm here, boss, is there anything wrong?"
Lu Bu said slowly, "Lonely salted fish, do you still remember the portal that Third Young Master used?"
"Of course I remember, what's wrong?"
"Lonely salted fish, if I want to buy one, is there any way to buy it?"
"I don't know, but I can check and see if there is any way to buy it. I can't buy it today. I'll get back to you tomorrow."
Lu Bu nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow."
After coming up with this idea, Lu Bu felt a lot more relaxed.
As long as there is a portal, it is easy to break through the city.
Lu Bu walked towards the Black Iron Mountain. After a day of hard work, he got ten flame stones and it was time to go offline.
The next day, Lu Bu did not order the army to set off, but stayed where he was and continued to rest.
After hearing Lu Bu's order, Chen Gong hurriedly came over with doubts on his face, "Marquis Wen, since there is no way to attack Puyang, why not withdraw our troops and save some food?"
Lu Bu thought about the portal and shook his head, "Wait a little longer. If we can't come up with a solution today, it won't be too late for us to withdraw our troops tomorrow."
Chen Gong didn't know what Lu Bu was thinking. Since it was Lu Bu's order, he could only obey it.
Lu Bu sent several more spies to the direction of Puyang to inquire about the news.
The news we received is that Cao Jun continued to pile up defensive supplies on the city wall, and it seemed that he was determined to defend.
Upon hearing the news, Lu Bu just sneered in his heart.
Even if there are more defense materials, what will happen?
As long as you get the portal, no matter how much defensive materials you have, it will be useless.
Puyang.
Cao Cao stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. After a long time, he suddenly sighed.
Others don't know why, only he himself knows that although he got Puyang, he spent too much money.
Originally, Cao Jun's property was relatively abundant, but after his purchases during this period, it was almost exhausted.
