Yiling, the only way for Jingzhou to enter Shuchuan in the west, he controlled the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and blocked the encroachment of Xichuan on Jingzhou, and it has become a battleground for Lu Peng to enter Jingzhou.

When the weather brightened, Lu Peng's army began to beat the drums again, and the soldiers lined up in a neat phalanx, and then there was a weak shout, pushing one dense catapult after another, leaning towards Yiling City.

And at this time, Yiling City also heard the wind, and very tacitly spread out one after another quilts that were soaked with water, preparing to guard against the fire and oil bombs of Lu Peng's army.

The sound of squeaking catapults stirring sounded, and then as the red flag of the conductor fell, rows and rows of fire oil bombs flew towards the head of Yiling like crows, and then shattered at the head of Yiling, igniting one fire after another.

The defenders at the head of Yiling City immediately extinguished these fires with watered quilts, and the flames burning on the city walls were also extinguished by basins of sand.

Then both sides took a breath, and everyone stood here, looking at each other.

Lu Peng's catapult army, after resting and tired, stirred the catapult again, threw another batch of fire oil bombs, and then the Wu army once again programmed the previous action, everyone has done it well, and now the 10,000 Wu troops stationed in Yiling City have become the highest quality fire brigade.

When the three rounds of attacks were over, Lu Peng's team began to collect troops, and then everyone returned to the barracks to sing and dance and engage in activities, and then washed and slept.

Standing outside his big tent, looking at the steep and tall Yiling City, in fact, it is not a city, but a fortress, and the banner of Dongwu is fluttering majestically on it.

The method of using catapults to throw oil bombs to burn the city had almost no effect, and after several days of experiments, Lu Peng could only temporarily abandon this method.

The method of digging through the tunnel was useless, because the foundation of Yiling City hit the rock directly, and Lu Peng was simply helpless in the face of the hard granite without explosives.

In fact, since Lu Peng came to the Three Kingdoms, he has been researching it, preparing to "invent" it, and the formula is understood by himself, and everyone who has a future generation of people who will often surf the Internet has it.

But is mastering the formula the same as mastering gunpowder? That's just a joke. That's how countless online writers fool readers.

Because every time, when Lu Peng developed these things, he ultimately failed in the purity of the raw materials.

There is no way to purify raw materials, and to purify raw materials with a fairly high purity, you just mix some stones and charcoal together, and if you can set it on fire, you are definitely not a human being, you are definitely a person who has cultivated into a god in the fantasy.

The purification of raw materials, that is a systematic chemical system, absolutely not one or two procedures can be realized, and the formation of such a chemical system, is required to accumulate a long time, step by step to complete, high-rise buildings must start from the foundation, without the foundation you don't talk about anything.

Lu Peng didn't understand chemistry, so he couldn't guide the ancients to carry out a series of chemical experiments and development, so gunpowder could only exist in Lu Peng's infinite reverie.

Pang Tong also used tricks several times to lure the enemies in the city to come out and duel with him, but unfortunately, Huang Gai in the city gave you a closed door without a fight. Begging the enemy and scolding the array, this stupid method is used, and the result is that he is scolding his mouth dryly below, and the city actually moved a stool to lie on the head of the city to listen to it with relish, and occasionally he is very cooperative with the shouting of good, once he is depressed here, there will be a boo inside.

Bypassing this Yiling City, Lu Peng to the person who put forward this opinion, going up is a kick, this is not like his own Xuzhou, at that time Xuzhou was already empty, there was not a single soldier, and he could run directly to the sea and get the supply resources in the rear.

Therefore, now for the attack on Jingzhou, Lü Peng can only compete with Dongwu city by city, and there is no opportunistic way at all.

"Time waits for no one, we must rush before Liu Bei and seize Jingzhou, so that we can justifiably capture Jingzhou, once Liu Bei captures Jingzhou again, we will be completely passive." Pang Tong stood behind Lu Peng, frowning and muttering in pain.

Because he could only mutter to himself, he had already told Lu Peng countless times to ask Lu Peng to increase the strength of the siege, but Lu Peng refused because of heavy casualties, so he used all kinds of weapons to destroy Yiling City.

"We have collected enough stones, we can use our catapults to throw stones at Yiling City, and smash this Yiling City into powder, why waste these fire oil bombs? Isn't this a waste of time? ”

Lu Peng ignored the military advisor behind him who had become a broken-mouthed mother-in-law.

Because in fact, Lu Peng is really not in a hurry now.

Why is that?

Because Xu Jie's Jinyiwei has already informed himself that the current form of war between Liu Bei and Eastern Wu, and the commander of the two armies that Lu Peng wants to see the most is the pair of enemies in history, the red side is Liu Bei, and the Lan side is Lu Xun.

Since the crossing of the river in white, Lu Xun seized Jingzhou, and according to the trajectory of history, he finally captured Guan Yu in Maicheng, such a perfect development according to the historical process, let Lu Peng see the huge inertia of the wheel of history rolling forward, and at the same time made him believe in fate.

Since you have devoutly believed in fate, then don't talk nonsense, just wait for the arrangement of fate.

Lu Xun faced Liu Bei, and he sent Zhuge Jin to fool Liu Bei in the first part, in order to slow down his military vigilance, which is the same as in history, since there is a good beginning, then the end will still not be bad, that is, Lu Xun finally defeated Liu Bei, not only completely annihilated his 200,000 most fundamental strength, but also damaged his most loyal general Huang Zhong.

This kind of ending is what Lu Peng is most willing to see, he can't do it with Liu Bei for the time being, so he will do everything possible to weaken it and launch an economic war, which must be carried out, and now Liu Bei has completely surrounded himself and launched an economic war, and the effect is very good.

But at this time, Lu Peng also learned the lesson of the last economic war against the DPRK, that is, while weakening the enemy, he also caused his own losses, and from the perspective of the whole effect, it seems that his own losses are greater than the enemy. So this time against Liu Bei's economic war, Lu Peng abandoned the large-scale war method, but moistened things in silent means, small-scale and slow, in this way, although the effect is worse, but the damage to itself has also been reduced a lot, and this damage to itself is also slowly underway, the market is looking for time and ways to make up for it, and finally it is completely eliminated.

There is also the consumption of Liu Bei's military strength, Lu Peng said that he hoped to borrow the hands of others, this time Lu Xun personally went out, it was he who couldn't ask for it, as long as Lu Xun completely annihilated Liu Bei's 200,000 horses, then how many people did he Liu Bei still have available, almost nothing, and he pretended to be in Yiling, in fact, he was putting pressure on Liu Bei, but he had to speed up his pace in order to give Lu Xun more opportunities to break through. When the time comes, the peach picking will be your own again.

That's good, it's very Lu Peng.
