It was strange that until after four o'clock the next morning, Lu Bu's army was still unmoved. This made Qing Cang very puzzled. What exactly Lu Bu wanted to do.

He walked outside the city tower and looked at the place twenty miles away with a telescope. It was so bright that he could not see clearly what was going on there. He only knew that there was a fire there and it was about to dawn in an hour. It was the second day since Lu Bu arrived here, and he was very calm in the past two days.

In the first half of the night, Yang Xiaomei had already come over. She reported that Yuan Shao's army had reached the border and was expected to launch a general attack as soon as the sky was dawn tomorrow. At the same time, a telegram was sent from Xuchang that Cao Cao also knew that Yuan Shao had launched an attack, but the far water could not save the near fire. They seemed to have taken some actions, but they had not received any news that Cao Cao's army asked Lu Bu to retreat to attack Yuan Shao. Judging from this behavior, it might not be so easy for Lu Bu's army to retreat.

At this time, Yang Xiaomei went upstairs and happened to meet Qing Cang.

"Captain Yang, can there be any other news?"

"Yes, Commander, we have intercepted some telegram signals."

It is very normal to intercept telegram information now. It can be said that the intelligence departments of the entire Huaxia City are operating around the clock. The probability of telegram information that can be captured can be said to be extremely high. Any enemy sends intelligence telegram requests, they can receive it. But there is another problem in front of them, that is, their password books are completely different.

So Yang Xiaomei said again: "I invited all my army professionals to crack the telegram, but the progress is very slow now. We can only crack the words and cannot crack the whole paragraph."

No matter what, there was a crack, so Qing Cang asked, "What words did you crack?"

"Some commonly used nouns are like steam engines, Yellow River, tracks, eight o'clock, etc., and nothing else has been found."

These words have already explained everything. Qing Cang immediately realized that it was not good. He hurriedly asked Guo Jia: "There is a train schedule for us."

"have!"

At this moment, Guo Jia sorted out a train schedule from a document. Qing Cang took it and saw it. The more he looked, the more shocked they became. Because they had a great demand for fuel and energy, they have now begun to start mining the Southern Xiongnu oil fields. Some crude oil produced was transported to Huaxia City by train for research. A train would take at least two round trips on this day.

Qing Cang looked again and saw that there was a train that would depart from the Southern Xiongnu at 8 am and head to Huaxia City via the Yellow River track.

Guo Jia and others were puzzled why Qingcang took out the train schedule and asked quickly: "What's wrong with the commander?"

Qing Cang said: "I suspect that the reason why Lu Bu's army did not attack us was mostly because it was the idea of ​​attacking our locomotive.

The last time Cao Jun stole the locomotive of Huaxia City from under his nose. Although it was destroyed by Qing Cang later, it was a while since then, and they still did not give up. They tried to steal the locomotive of Huaxia City again.

This time, they should have chosen the Yellow River estuary, but this is just Qing Cang's imagination. What is the specific idea? We have to wait for the information ahead to report. The so-called plan ahead, Qing Cang must confirm it.

Qing Cang thought for a while and said, "Captain Yang, send a telegram to the Yellow River exit, stop the train immediately, and do not let the train pass through the Yellow River exit.

Guo Jia was shocked and exclaimed: "Do they want to intercept our locomotive again?"

There is already a precedent, so this time should be no exception.

Qing Cang nodded and said, "It's probably the case. Lu Bu is reluctant to retreat for a long time, and most of them are waiting for an opportunity. His role is to restrain us. Let us focus on him, thus ignoring the attention at the intersection of the Yellow River."

Yang Xiaomei didn't dare to neglect her. She immediately retreated and went to the intelligence department to send intelligence.

As soon as she walked out for a while, Qing Cang felt that something was wrong, so he said to the guards: "Let Commander Yang come back again."

Yang Xiaomei came back immediately. When she saw Qing Cang, she asked, "Commander, what else is there?"

Qing Cang hurriedly said, "You also need to notify the nearest stations and ask them to send soldiers to the intersection of the Yellow River."

Qingcang added several railway stations between Huaxia City and the Southern Xiongnu, and each railway station had troops stationed. The weapons and equipment of the troops stationed here were OK. However, they were not equipped with the latest weapons, because the latest weapons had just been developed. It should be a big problem to support a crossing. At the same time, he also wanted to send an army to the south of Huaxia City. At this time, the distance between the Huns south of Huaxia City was about 400 kilometers.

At this time, several trains were sent to the Yellow River entrance at 8 o'clock. He asked Yang Xiaomei to send a telegram first. He said to Dian Wei:

"Captain Dian, I order you to bring 20,000 people. Take the train to the Yellow River intersection to support. Remember not to let the enemy steal the steamed car head."

In this way, Qing Cang could determine that the power system of the chariot brought by Lu Bu's army must not be a steam engine. Because their target was a steam engine. But he really couldn't think of what the power system of the chariot of Lu Bu's army was, but he could basically judge that the power system of the chariot of Lu Bu's army must be weaker than the steam engine. Otherwise, how could he steal their steam engines again and again?

Although the steam engines are not fast, they are very powerful. Once they are stolen by them, their strength will soon be ascended qualitatively. This is something that no one wants to see.

But when the order was issued, suddenly, the sound of war drums came from 20 miles away. The sound was very urgent, and at the same time, the firelight in the distance began to spread, which meant that Lu Bu's army was about to attack. Lu Bu did not attack sooner or later, but he had to wait until this time to attack the Chinese army. This offensive happened to come after the telegram, which could basically be understood as. Lu Bu led the army to wait for the arrival of this telegram. After the telegram arrived, they began to send troops again to restrain the behavior of the Chinese army. The Chinese army was weak and the Chinese army could not go to support the Yellow River entrance in a short time, or it could be understood as giving the Chinese army no time to pay attention to everything passing through the Yellow River. Because the enemy is now in front of us.

The Chinese Legion must first solve this big problem before saying that the two armies will not be able to complete the battle without a few days of fighting. Now they are restrained by Lu Bu's army.

His mission is probably only necessary to disrupt the Chinese Legion within one day. Then their steam engine interception will be smooth.

When they arrived outside Huaxia City, it was probably already day.

Qing Cang looked at the other party's army and was in a daze. After a while, Yang Xiaomei rushed over again. She said in a very anxious tone, "The commander is not good. Cao's army occupied the entire Yellow River intersection. It was and occupied our station. The telegram we sent could not be reached. This message was left by a soldier."

By the time Qing Cang realized it, things seemed too late.

"What!"

At the same time, Dian Wei also came up.

At this time, Dian Wei should have been out of the army, and he was back no matter how he was.

"Commander, our railway was destroyed by the enemy's troops thirty feet."

Nearly a hundred meters of railway was destroyed, which left Qing Cang no defense at all.

“When did it be destroyed?”

"It should have been last night!"

It is said that it is dark at night and is less likely to be discovered. And at night, there is no train passing by, so it is easier to destroy.

Then he said that from now on, the Chinese Army will not be able to send reinforcements to the Yellow River exit, so he will watch his locomotive being stolen, but he will have no choice.

"Let Bai Ye send someone to repair it and repair it as soon as possible."

Qing Cang seemed to have only thought of this method, and there was no other method to do so.

"yes!"

So someone went to inform Bai Ye and asked him to take professional personnel to repair the railway.

At the same time, the war drums outside Huaxia City were sensation. Lu Bu's army had arrived five miles away, and a large number of cannons were lined up, aiming at the east gate of Huaxia City, and it was possible to fire cannons at any time.

The sky had already lit up, and the sun shone on the ground with the Lu Bu army with 230,000 troops, which looked particularly dazzling.

When Qing Cang saw this army, he was very angry and said, "If Lu Bu dares to come today, they will definitely not return!"

The army responded: "Let them go back and forth."

At the same time, he looked at the front army with a telescope. He saw several people standing on it, one of which was Lu Bu, and there was a literati beside him. Qing Cang thought that this person was Cheng Yu. He must have instructed Lu Bu to arrange them.

He also saw that Lu Bu was full of spring breeze, and it was obvious that their first victory made him very happy.

There was no chariot in Qing Cang's telescope, which made him wonder where the chariot was? He even had some doubts that the so-called chariot was just a fool. If so, then they would have successfully deceived them.

"Lu Bu, I didn't expect you to do such a robber!"

Qing Cang picked up the loudspeaker and said, but there was also Lu Bu's side.

Both speakers talked to each other.

"Do you know about it? Hahaha, the so-called soldiers are never tired of cheating. I just need to hold you back and get the steam head, then the mission of this trip will be completed."

Lu Bu said, if Qing Cang expected this, this guy was here to hold them back.

"Do you think you can leave safely when you come?"

Qing Cang asked back.

Since he has come, there is no reason to let him leave. We must leave more than half of their troops.

"Qing Cang, there is no good end to going against us. I advise you to cooperate with us obediently. You know, with the steam engine head, we will definitely make great progress, and your Huaxia City will be overthrown by us."

"Hmph, then come on! I'll let you try my new cannon!"

Qing Cang has built Wang Zongwei with a cannon equipped with new types of shells. This cannon is extremely powerful, about ten times larger than the previous cannons. However, the number of cannons was not large in the early stage, and the number of shells was the same, with only about one hundred. This cannon is very precious, only one.

But these hundred shells should be enough to scare Lu Bu's army because of its huge power.

Lu Bu said:

"You must have stolen our information? Otherwise, how could you have a new type of cannon?"

"My military industry is better than any of you, and I want to steal it? A joke."

Qing Cang put down his horn and stopped talking to Lu Bu too much. He shouted, "Come on! Get a cannon!"

At this command, someone immediately put the new cannon on the mount. The cannon barrel is much thinner than the others, and the shape is quite unique. It does not have an ignition device, but it is actually just an enlarged version of the rifle, and then the launch device is modified.

"Start a fire!"

With a bang, a cannon shot out first. Its sound was very irritable, which made everyone's eardrums hurt. The shell flew out and aimed at Lu Bu's army.

The shells streaked across the sky, leaving behind a afterimage.

ah!

ah!

Several screams sounded one after another, and dozens of people had already fallen to the ground.

The shells passed through their bodies and landed not far away.

With a loud bang, it produced a violent explosion. The huge explosion sound roared, blowing the enemy troops beside it into the sky. At the same time, a mushroom-like thing rose up in its original place.

A large number of enemy troops died. After rough calculations, about 200 people died under this shell.

This is the power of this shell. What if it is one hundred? It is not going to kill nearly 30,000 people? This is a terrible number. It is possible that this number will be even larger, because the place where the shell just now hit was not a place with a large number. If you hit it in a dense place, the number will probably be even larger.

Lu Bu and others watched the shell from firing to falling. They watched the whole process and took a breath of air conditioning because its range was huge and its power was also very powerful. Ordinary cannon attacks were very powerful for buildings, but for humans, its effect was not very high, but this shell was not bad. It seemed to supplement the shortcomings of cannons. It was specially built for humans, but I didn't know how destructive it was to buildings.

"Qing Cang, where did your shell come from?"

Lu Bu seemed to have discovered that Qing Cang's shells were very different from theirs, and he felt that Qing Cang's one was even more terrifying.

"This is what we have made and produced! Come and load it again!"

Qing Cang shouted, and someone immediately put a large cannonball into the cannon chamber.

Lu Bu murmured:

"So awesome!"

Cheng Yu shouted at this time: "Scale and retreat quickly, their cannons are coming again."

Qing Cang's order shocked them because they didn't know where the next shell would hit.

The entire Lu Bu army began to panic. They didn't know where to go, and at the same time they forgot that they were still carrying cannons.

"Don't panic, don't panic, everyone listens, only the person who operates the cannon is in front, and the attack on Huaxia City is caught off guard, and the others retreat."

Lu Bu's arrangement was right, otherwise they would have to be beaten.
Chapter completed!
