It is just a small city with only three or five thousand defending soldiers.

Even if it is a strong attack, it can almost be said to be a waving hand to tie.

In any case, I will take Gaoyou City today.

Lu Bu began to order the soldiers to light torches and prepare to attack the city.

Countless torches lit up on the Gaoyou city wall, and the defensive soldiers came back to the city wall to prepare for defense.

Seeing this situation, Lu Bu frowned slightly.

If you attack hard, you will definitely be able to win, but there will inevitably be some casualties.

What if the hot air balloon team is allowed to cooperate with the ground troops to fight?

With the cooperation of the hot air balloon team, Gaoyou City will inevitably be afraid of defending.

Then when they attack the city, the resistance will be much smaller.

Moreover, as long as the hot air balloon is positioned accurately, grenades can be thrown, causing a certain amount of lethality to the defensive soldiers, causing them to panic.

In this way, you can easily take over Gaoyou City.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but order the hot air balloon team to rise to a high altitude, then slowly flew to the near the city wall, preparing to start bombing.

After seeing this scene, the Cao Wei soldiers defending in Gaoyou City couldn't help but panic.

However, the panic didn't last long and it quickly calmed down.

Then, they quickly evacuated the walls in an orderly manner and soon disappeared.

When the hot air balloon came over the city wall, they were facing the empty city wall, and there was no presence of any Cao Wei soldiers on the ground.

After communicating on the ground, Lu Bu quickly sneered.

It seems that his previous guess is correct. The Cao Wei soldiers in Gaoyou City did dig tunnels or air raid shelters.

After the hot air balloons take off and pose a threat to them, they can quickly retreat into the tunnel and avoid the aerial attacks of the Dahua Hot Air Balloon Team.

This method can indeed deal with the blows from the sky very well.

But your people have retreated. Isn’t it clear that you want to get the defense tower?

In this case, can the tower be removed?

So, Lu Bu smiled slightly, quickly directed the soldiers to build a bridge across the moat, pushed the steel ladder down the city wall, and organized the soldiers to quickly climb up the city wall.

As long as I let my army enter the city, let alone crawling into the hole, will it be useful if I crawling into the mouse hole?

Haven't you caught a turtle in a jar?

Lu Bu couldn't help but sneer.

boom!

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly broke out in a place under the city wall.

A dazzling fire broke out from the ground, and more than a dozen soldiers were instantly torn to pieces by the huge waves of explosion.

Broken limbs and broken arms flew across, and blood was splattered everywhere.

A large amount of smoke and dust were stirred up on the scene, and smoke and dust suddenly filled the scene.

This scene directly shocked the people's soldiers who were preparing to attack the city.

Many soldiers were so scared that they sat down on the ground, and some were scared to run around.

And these running soldiers will lead to more panic and cause more uneasiness.

"Everyone follows the orders and stands in place, don't run around!"

It was about to cause even greater panic, and even when the entire scene was completely in chaos, Lu Bu suddenly sank the Dantian and shouted suddenly.

After hearing Lu Bu's order, the originally panicked soldier seemed to have a backbone and settled down all of a sudden.

The soldier who was originally running quickly stopped and stopped running.

Although the performance of the people's soldiers when facing a sudden explosion is actually not much different from that of the Cao Wei soldiers.

In fact, let alone those ordinary soldiers, even Lu Bu was shocked and almost instinctively wanted to avoid it.

However, in the end, Lu Bu overcame the instant fear, quickly calmed down, and then issued an order in time and decisively.

The daily training of the people's soldiers shows their advantages at this time.

The consciousness of absolute obedience allowed them to calm down quickly after hearing Lu Bu's orders.

After controlling the scene, Lu Bu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

...

The explosion just now was not a grenade thrown from the city wall.

It should be a landmine buried by Cao Wei soldiers.

Unexpectedly, I really didn't expect that Cao Wei would create landmines silently.

It seems that the gunpowder formula has been leaked!

In fact, gunpowder has been accidentally refined by those alchemists, but one of them has not been taken seriously.

The production of gunpowder is actually easy to make as long as you master the recipe.

After gunpowder is available, it is used to make simple bombs or landmines, but it does not have much technical content at all.

However, what Lu Bu did not expect was that Cao Wei actually gave them a sudden attack.

Without being prepared, Dahua actually suffered a big loss.

After a brief consideration, Lu Bu decided to retreat temporarily.

Now they don’t know how many landmines they have laid out in the entire Gaoyou City.

Before you are ready, if you rashly attack the city, the casualties will probably be extremely heavy.

This result was absolutely unacceptable to Lu Bu.

Since that's the case, it's better to retreat temporarily and wait until they find a way to clear mines, and then attack again.

However, Lu Bu believes that even outside the city, there is definitely more than the mine just now.

The one just now was just the first landmine that was detonated by them.

If you want to withdraw now, you must be careful. If you are not careful, you will suffer damage.

Lu Bu immediately ordered: "Everyone obeyed the order, and all half squatted on the ground. Those with shields covered with shields, and those without shields should protect their heads and vital parts. Do not walk around at will until they get the order."

Now, they have to wading through a safe passage first and then evacuate.

After hearing the order, all the soldiers of the people quickly executed the order, and everyone was half-squatting on the ground.

Those with shields should use shields to block in front of themselves.

If you don’t have a shield, choose to protect your head tightly.

Next, Lu Bu ordered his personal soldiers to pass through the moat with shields and start clearing the thunder from the moat.

These personal soldiers first protected themselves with their shields under the guidance of Lu Bu.

Then use the method of throwing stones to clear the road.

The stones they chose weighed about sixty or seventy kilograms.

This weight, coupled with the power of throwing downwards, is almost the same as a person's weight.

If there are mines buried underground, it will definitely explode if it goes down.

Lu Bu decided to clear a three-foot-wide road first and let the army retreat first.

In order to ensure absolute safety, the cleaning work is done very carefully and progresses little by little. It is necessary to confirm absolute safety before continuing to move forward.

Anyway, the soldiers of Cao Wei dare not rush out now, so time is not a problem.
