About a hundred paces away from the thunderbolt at the front, a thunderbolt with an exceptionally large frame was slowly erected under the control of the craftsman, it was in Huguan that gave the princes a headache of the giant thunderbolt, in terms of range, this kind of thunderbolt can reach a distance of five hundred steps, such a long range, whether it is defending or besieging the city, it is a lingering nightmare for the enemy.

A soldier in the Jizhou army pointed in the direction of the thunderbolt outside the city and shouted, "General, what do you think is that?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiang looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, but saw that something that could not be named had been erected outside the city, although he didn't know the purpose of these things, Lu Xiang felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

"General, those things seem to be thunderbolts." A general in charge of the Thunderbolt stepped forward.

"Thunderbolt? Not good. Lu Xiang's face changed greatly, and he suddenly thought of the boulder thrown out on the pot close, which was far beyond the ordinary thunderbolt car, and the princes suffered a lot under this kind of thunderbolt car, and how many thunderbolt cars were destroyed by thunderbolts of this range.

Hao Meng's face showed excitement, compared to ordinary thunderbolts, Hao Meng was more enthusiastic about the giant thunderbolts developed by the craftsman's workshop, whether in terms of range or power, it was not comparable to ordinary thunderbolts.

"Put!" Hao Meng sneered.

The boulders rose into the air and headed towards Yecheng with the chorus of the soldiers who controlled the thunderbolts.

Lü Xiang hurriedly ordered the soldiers to dodge.

A boulder smashed on the arrow buttress, although the Jizhou army has not strengthened the city wall in recent times, the boulder directly smashed the arrow buttress on, and the soldiers hiding behind the female wall let out a miserable sound.

The entire city wall seemed to tremble slightly under the attack of the thunderbolts, especially the boulders that smashed into the city walls, which made the walls tremble even more.

Lu Bu saw that under the attack of the giant thunderbolt car, all the thunderbolt cars of the Jizhou army died down, and showed a satisfied smile, if there was no threat from the thunderbolt of the Jizhou army, the speed of the state army to fill the moat would be faster.

In the city, after Yuan Shao learned about the situation in the east of the city, his face changed again and again, and the appearance of the giant thunderbolt was definitely bad news for the defenders.

Yuan Shao has already felt the fluctuation of the hearts of the people in Jizhou, although there are not a few defenders in the city, some families do not have the same trust in the Jizhou army as before.

Since the thunderbolt of the Bingzhou army was erected to the east of the city, it has been attacking Yecheng day and night, and under such a mighty situation, the Jizhou army is naturally fluctuating.

The Jizhou army is not as strong as it seems, in terms of cohesion, the Jizhou army is difficult to catch up with the state army, in the selection of soldiers, Jizhou is more recruited from the people, without taking into account whether the young and strong join the army is voluntary, and it is difficult for ordinary generals to get ahead in the army.

After three days in a row, Yuan Shao couldn't sit still, although the number of defenders of Yecheng was quite a lot, and Lu Bu did not take the siege, but it made Yuan Shao feel a huge unease, if it went on according to this situation, within a month, the moat would be filled by the Bingzhou army, and Yecheng would face the point of meeting with the Bingzhou army in a short time.

In the Jizhou army, Yuan Shao glanced at the generals in the army, and said slowly: "Now the thunderbolt cars of the Bingzhou army have steadily suppressed the Jizhou army, if these thunderbolts cannot be destroyed, it will inevitably bring greater disasters, what is your best strategy, although bluntly speaking." ”

Xu You, who had just returned to Yecheng, got up and said, "Lord, if you send elite cavalry, when the state army is lax, you may not be able to destroy these thunderbolts. ”

After returning to Jizhou from Huguan, Xu You felt a faint crisis, mainly because Yuan Shao did not have the same trust in him as before, and the Xu family suffered a lot of exclusion in the city, what kind of person Xu You is, after a little inquiry, he understood the truth of the matter, at this time, Feng Ji's position in Jizhou is not something Xu You can shake, what he has to do is to try his best to save his position in Yuan Shao's heart.

Feng Ji said: "Lord Xu's plan may not work, Lu Bu divided the flying cavalry and the wolf cavalry into two groups, guarding both sides of the thunderbolt day and night, if the cavalry in the city is dispatched, it will inevitably fall into the left and right attacks of the wolf cavalry and the flying cavalry." ”

Yuan Shao looked at Feng Ji with a hint of approval, and asked, "I don't know what Yuantu's plan is?" ”

Feng Ji said: "At this time, the Bingzhou army is in full swing, although our army is temporarily suppressed by the Bingzhou army, there is not much danger in a short period of time, and the most important thing is to beware of the small people in the city." ”

Seeing that Feng Ji did not finish his words, Yuan Shao was overjoyed, if there was really a plan, it would be impossible to say it in public, this was also to avoid the meticulous work of the Jizhou army and the state army.

After encouraging everyone, Yuan Shao left Feng Ji and Xu You and others after everyone dispersed, although after the previous events, Yuan Shao did not have the same trust in Xu You as before, in his heart, Xu You was still an important strategist in Jizhou.

Feng Ji saw that Xu Yu was still left in the room, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"At this time, all the henchmen in the room are Ben Hou's henchmen, so don't hesitate to say anything." Yuan Shaodao.

Xu You's heart warmed, Yuan Shao's words were an affirmation of him, and he did not finish the plan, so he interrupted for Feng Ji, in terms of playing tricks, Feng Ji is much more clever than Xu You, but in terms of real strategy, Feng Ji is not as good as Xu You.

Seeing that Feng Ji remained silent, Xu Yu said loudly: "Although the army under Lu Bu is strong, it is far inferior to our army in terms of strength, and our army can give full play to its advantage in strength and defeat the Bingzhou army." ”

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he motioned for Xu You to continue.

"There are seven gates outside the city of Yecheng, and the direction of the attack of the state army is only east and north of the city, if the cavalry of our army appears in the south and west of the city, what should the state army do? After the cavalry of the state army is dispatched, and then the cavalry is dispatched from the east of the city, it will definitely be able to succeed and thwart the spirit of the state army. ”

"This matter will be handed over to Ziyuan to plan, if it can frustrate the state army, Ziyuan will be the hero of Jizhou." Yuan Shao felt that this plan was feasible, and the Jizhou army had an advantage in numbers.

Xu You said yes, stepped aside, and inadvertently looked at Feng Ji's eyes with a hint of coldness, if this plan could be successful, it would definitely be able to enhance his status in Yuan Shao's heart.

Feng Ji didn't take it to heart, since he had decided to make a move on Xu You, he wouldn't give up halfway.

"The lord should come forward to appease the families in the city, especially the families who do business, the families who do business in Jizhou have obtained a lot of benefits from the state, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not secretly negotiate with the army of the state." Feng Ji said slowly.
