Chapter 167: Kongming Lantern

Three days later, Lu Bu led 20,000 troops into Kuaiji County and headed straight for Kuaiji Mountain.

The generals under his command, Lu Bu, led Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Dian Wei, and Gao Shun to stay.

This time, Lu Bu only brought a thousand cavalry, and the rest were all infantry.

Most of the mountain peaks gather in high mountains or dangerous places, and cavalry are useless.

Taking cavalry in the past is also a way to prevent Shanyue from escaping the breakthrough point for chasing.

Soon, Lu Bu led a large army to the foot of Kuaiji Mountain.

For Lu Bu's arrival, the sooner the mountain is prepared, all the mountain peaks gather on Xianglu Peak.

Xianglu Peak is the highest altitude of Kuaiji Mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

After surrounding the incense burner peaks, Lu Bu and Jia Xu observed the terrain and began to make up.

After watching the terrain, the two of them couldn't help but take a breath.

Xianglu Peak has a steep terrain. If you want to attack with force, even if you have ten times the strength of the troops, you may not be able to attack.

The Shanyue on Xianglu Peak is numerous, with at least five or six thousand people.

If they use strong attacks, they are not enough.

Besides, even if he could barely conquer it, he would suffer heavy casualties and Lu Bu would not have taken such measures at all.

Lu Bu couldn't help but look at Jia Xu and asked, "Military advisor, how should we attack?"

Jia Xu couldn't help but frown and said, "There is a lush forest here, and the best way is to use fire attack. But Shan Yue is also prepared for this. He cleaned up a large isolation belt in the middle, and even if he uses rockets, he cannot shoot it. Apart from using fire attack, his subordinates have not yet thought of a good solution."

Even Jia Xu had no choice, and Lu Bu couldn't help but frown.

This is their first battle to go out and must be launched. Otherwise, if they cannot establish prestige, the following work will not be easy to carry out.

But Shanyue has an absolute advantage, and they have no choice but to do this kind of terrain.

There is one thing that Jia Xu said is right. The best way to deal with this kind of terrain is to use fire attack.

But even if you can't shoot it with a rocket, how can you set off this fire?

Lu Bu couldn't help but frown and thought deeply, but it was difficult to come up with a good solution for a while.

In fact, even the Eastern Wu in the original historical trajectory is a protracted war of attrition against Shanyue.

There are all kinds of strange ways to deal with Shanyue. For example, one of the more funny ways is that they do not attack Shanyue, and then when the food grown by Shanyue matures, they will send troops to kill and harvest it.

Shanyue had no food, so she had to run down the mountain.

This method is to cut off the firewood from the bottom of the pot and is also very effective against Shanyue, but Lu Bu couldn't wait that long.

On that day, Lu Bu had to set up camp and set up layers of protective measures under Xianglu Peak to prevent Shanyue from stealing camp in the middle of the night.

Lying in the tent at night, Lu Bu was still thinking hard about how to deal with Shan Yue, and he didn't fall asleep soon.

After falling asleep, Lu Bu had a dream. In the dream, Lu Bu dreamed that he returned to modern times and watched the fireworks with Qin Ningjun. As he watched, Qin Ningjun beside him suddenly turned into Diao Chan. Lu Bu took Diao Chan's hand, hugged Diao Chan in his arms, and became intimate.

After being intimate for a while, I don’t know what move Lu Bu used in his sleep. He was awakened by the rocks on the ground.

After waking up, he couldn't sleep for a while, so Lu Bu simply put on his clothes and walked out.

Sister Yun and Chan'er look so similar. In the dream, they actually became the same person.

Lu Bu felt that he missed Sister Yun a little. Under the gorgeous fireworks, Sister Yun is really beautiful!

By the way, fireworks!

For a moment, Lu Bu felt that he had grasped something.

Isn’t it difficult to set fire? So is it okay to use fireworks?

The height of fireworks lifting is enough!

However, firstly, there are no fireworks here, and secondly, even if there are fireworks, they may not be able to ignite them.

Is there no other way besides fireworks?

There must be other solutions!

After thinking about it, Lu Bu's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a thing!

Kongming Lantern! That’s right, it’s it!

The Kongming lantern can be launched under the action of hot air. As long as the lower part of the Kongming lantern is connected with a piece of paper to the lamp wall, after the candle inside is burned, the paper will be burned, and the lamp wall of the Kongming lantern will be ignited.

This will achieve the goal of setting fires from a distance!

There is only one difficulty here, that is, you need to calculate the speed of the Kongming lantern lifting, and the length of the candle inside and the burning time.

You have to calculate a number with very small errors and try to burn the candle just after the Kongming lantern rises to the top!

Thinking of this thought, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel excited and couldn't sleep. He began to get up and find paper and candles in the barracks, and began to make Kongming lanterns.

Unexpectedly, Jia Xu didn't sleep, and was sitting outside and thinking about how to defeat the enemy.

Lu Bu knew the importance of this battle, but why didn’t Jia Xu know?

As Lu Bu’s most trusted military advisor, Jia Xu’s inner pressure is no lower than Lu Bu at all.

When Jia Xu saw Lu Bu entering the barracks and was busy with something, Jia Xu couldn't help but feel moved and followed him in.

"Master, are you doing this?"

Lu Bu said excitedly: "Military advisor, the thing I am making now is called Kongming lantern."

Jia Xu asked in confusion: "Lord, what is this Kongming lantern used for? What is its purpose?"

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Military advisor, please wait, you will know later."

The simple Kongming lantern is really simple to make. In more than a quarter of an hour, Lu Bu made a simple Kongming lantern.

Finally, put the candle at the bottom of the lamp, and a Kongming lantern is completed.

After the production was completed, Lu Bu set fire to light the candle at the bottom, and then excitedly said to Jia Xu: "Military advisor, please see!"

It's quite bright when placed outside this night and can be used as a lantern.

But the lord is idle and doesn’t sleep in the middle of the night just to make lanterns to play with it?

Jia Xu felt that it must be that simple, so he couldn't help but look at Kongmingdeng suspiciously.

Soon, Jia Xu suddenly discovered that the Kongming lantern had slowly risen up. Jia Xu rubbed his eyes and wondered if he had hallucinations.

How is this possible?

How could such a lantern-like thing take off by itself?

This, this is incredible!

Sure enough, it succeeded!

While excited, Lu Bu grabbed the Kongming lantern that was taking off and blew out the candle inside.

It is not possible to take off the air now, and it cannot be seen by the mountain on the top of the peak.

Lu Bu couldn't help laughing and said, "Military advisor, whether we can break through the Xianglu Peak depends on whether this Kongming lantern is powerful!"

Jia Xu did not ask Lu Bu what it means to be powerful, but was wondering. Just by using this Kongming lantern, can you conquer the Xianglu Peak?

Jia Xu couldn't help but take the Kongming lantern from Lu Bu, and looked carefully. Suddenly, he remembered something and his eyes lit up.

"Lord, it's so amazing. How did you come up with the method to make this Kongming lantern? Also, why can this Kongming lantern be launched into the air?"
