Strangely enough, until about four o'clock the next morning, Lu Bu's army remained unmoved.
This made Qing Cang very puzzled as to what Lu Bu wanted to do.
He walked outside the city tower and looked at the place twenty miles away with a telescope.
It was red and red.
From such a distance, he couldn't see clearly what was happening there.
He only knew that a fire was burning there and that it would be dawn in an hour.
It was already the second day since Lu Bu arrived here, and he had been very calm during these two days.
In the first half of the night, Yang Xiaomei had already come over once.
She reported that Yuan Shao's army had reached the border and was expected to launch a general attack as soon as it gets dark tomorrow.
At the same time, a telegram was sent from Xuchang saying that Cao Cao also knew that Yuan Shao had launched an attack, but the distant water could not save the nearby fire.
They seemed to have taken some actions, but they did not receive the news that Cao Cao's army asked Lu Bu to retreat and attack Yuan Shao.
From this Judging from the performance, it may not be that easy for Lu Bu's army to retreat.
At this time, Yang Xiaomei went upstairs and happened to meet Qing Cang.
"Commander Yang, do you have any other news?"
"Yes, Commander, we have intercepted some telegraph signals."
The telegram message is now intercepted.
Very normal.
It can be said that the entire Huaxia City's intelligence department is operating around the clock.
The probability of capturing telegram information can be said to be very high.
Whenever an enemy sends an intelligence telegram request, they can receive it.
But there is another problem before us, that is, their codebooks are completely different.
So Yang Xiaomei added: "I have invited all the professionals in our army to crack the telegram, but the progress is very slow now.
We can only crack a few words.
We cannot crack the entire paragraph."
No matter what, there was a crack, so Qingcang asked: "What words did you crack?"
"Some common terms are like steam engine, Yellow River, track, eight o'clock, etc., but nothing else was found."
These words together say it all.
Qingcang immediately realized that something was wrong.
He quickly asked Guo Jiadao: "Do you have our train timetable?"
"have" At this time, Guo Jia compiled a train timetable from a document.
Qingcang took it and took a look.
The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.
Because they have great demand for fuel energy.
Now we have begun to focus on the exploration of the South Xiongnu oil field.
Some crude oil extracted.
Transported to Huaxia City via train for research.
A train needs to make at least two round trips on this day.
Qing Cang looked again and saw that one of the trains would depart from Southern Xiongnu at 8 a.m. and head to Huaxia City via the Yellow River track.
Guo Jia and others were puzzled as to why Qingcang took out this train timetable, and quickly asked: "What's going on, Commander?"
Qing Cang said: "I suspect that the reason why Lu Bu's army did not attack us is probably because they are targeting our locomotive.
Last time, Cao Jun stole Huaxia City's locomotive from under his nose.
Although they were destroyed by Qing Cang later, now after some time, they still don't give up.
Trying to steal Huaxia City's locomotive again.
This time, they should have chosen the crossing of the Yellow River to start, but this was just Qing Cang's imagination.
We still have to wait for the intelligence from the front to report the details.

Qingcang has to confirm one or two of the so-called precautions.
Qingcang thought for a while and said: "Commander Yang, please send a telegram to the Yellow River crossing to stop the train immediately and don't let the train pass through the Yellow River crossing.
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.
Qingcang nodded and said: "Nine times out of ten, that's the case.
Lu Bu has been refusing to retreat, and he is probably waiting for an opportunity.
His role is to contain us.
Let us focus on him and ignore it.
Attention at the Yellow River Crossing.”
Yang Xiaomei didn't dare to neglect.
Retreat immediately and go to the intelligence department to send information.
She had just walked out for a while, and Qing Cang felt that something was still wrong, so he said to the guard: "Let Commander Yang come back again."
Yang Xiaomei came back immediately.
After seeing Qing Cang, she asked: "Commander, what else can I do?"
Qingcang said quickly: "You also need to notify the nearest stations and ask them to send soldiers to the Yellow River crossing."
Qing Cang added several train stations between Huaxia City and Southern Xiongnu.
Each train station has troops stationed there.
The weapons and equipment of the troops stationed here are considered to be pretty good.
But it is not equipped with the latest weapons, because the latest weapons have just been developed not long ago.
It shouldn't be a big problem to support a crossing.
At the same time, he also wanted to send an army there.
At this time, the distance to the Huns south of Huaxia City was about 400 kilometers.
At this time, several trains were dispatched and arrived at the Yellow River crossing exactly at eight o'clock.
He asked Yang Xiaomei to send the telegram first.
And he said to Dian Wei: "Commander Dian, I order you to take 20,000 people with you.
Take a train to the Yellow River crossing for support.
Remember not to let the enemy steal the steam locomotive."
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 is the steam engine.
But he really couldn't figure out what the power system of Lu Bu's army's chariot was, but he could basically judge that the power system of Lu Bu's army must be weaker than the steam engine.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to steal their steam engines again and again?
Although the steam engine is not very fast.
But they are very powerful.
Once stolen by them, their strength will rise qualitatively.
This is something no one wants to see.
But after the order is issued.
Suddenly.
The sound of war drums came from 20 miles away.
The sound was very urgent, and at the same time the fire in the distance began to disperse, which meant that Lu Bu's army was about to attack.
If Lu Bu doesn't attack early, he won't attack later.
They had to wait until this time to attack the Chinese army.
This offensive happened just after the telegram came, which can basically be understood.
Lu Bu and his army had been waiting for the arrival of this telegram.
Wait until the telegram arrives.
They began to send troops again.

In order to contain the behavior of the Chinese Legion.
Let the Chinese Legion be weak.
This makes it impossible for the Chinese Army to go to support the crossing of the Yellow River in a short period of time, and it may be understood that the Chinese Army has no time to pay attention to everything that passes through the Yellow River.
Because now we are facing a formidable enemy.
The Chinese Legion must solve this big trouble first.
The battle between the two armies may not be completed unless the battle lasts for several days.
Now he was restrained by Lu Bu's army.
His mission is probably to disrupt the Chinese Army within one day.
Then their steam engine interception became smoother.
When they arrived outside Huaxia City, it was probably daytime.
Qingcang looked at the opponent's army in trance.
He didn't know how long it had passed before Yang Xiaomei hurried over again.
Her tone was very anxious.
Said: "The commander is in trouble.
Cao's army has occupied the entire Yellow River crossing.
It has also occupied our station, and the telegram we sent cannot be reached.
This news.
It was left by a soldier."
When Qingcang realized it.
It seems to be too late.
"What" At the same time Dian Wei also came up.
Dian Wei should have gone out to the army at this time, but he came back anyway.
"Commander, our railway was damaged thirty feet by the enemy."
Nearly a hundred meters of railway was destroyed, which left Qingcang completely unprepared.
"When was it destroyed?"
"Probably last night" The so-called dark sky at night makes it harder to detect, and at night, there are no trains passing by, so it is easier to destroy.
That means that from now on, the Chinese Legion cannot send reinforcements to the Yellow River crossing, and they will have to watch their locomotives being stolen, but there is nothing they can do.
"Ask Bai Ye to send someone to repair it and fix it as soon as possible."
Qingcang seemed to be the only one who could think of this method.
Apart from that, there was no other way possible.
"yes" Then someone went to notify Bai Ye and asked him to take professional personnel to repair the railway.
At the same time, the war drums were beating loudly outside Huaxia City.
Lu Bu's army had arrived five miles away.
A large number of cannons were lined up, aiming at the east gate of Huaxia City, and the cannons might be released at any time.
The sky was already bright, and the sun shone on the ground and Lu Bu's army of 230,000 soldiers and horses, which looked particularly dazzling.
When Qingcang saw this army, he was very angry and said: "If Lu Bu dares to come today, they will never come back."
The troops responded: "Let them come back without any return."
At the same time, he looked at the front army with a telescope and saw several people standing on it.
One of them was Lu Bu, and next to him there was a man who looked like a scholar.
Qing Cang thought that this man was Cheng Yu.
He must have instigated Lu Bu to trick them.
Lu Bu's face was full of joy again.
It was obvious that their first victory made him very happy.
In Qingcang's telescope, their chariot did not appear, which made him very puzzled.
He even had some doubts about where the chariot had gone.

The so-called chariot was just a deception.
If so, then they He successfully deceived them.
"Lu Bu, I didn't expect that you would do such a bandit thing."
Qingcang picked up the loudspeaker and said, but unexpectedly there was one on Lu Bu's side too.
The speakers on both sides talk to each other.
"Have you guys heard about it?
Hahaha, as the saying goes, a war never tires of deceit.
I just need to hold you back until I get the steam engine head, then the mission of this trip will be over."
Lu Bu said, it was just as Qing Cang expected, this guy was here to hold them back.
"Do you think you can leave safely after you come?"
Qingcang asked rhetorically.
Now that he is here, there is no reason to let him leave.
More than half of their troops must be left behind.
"Qingcang, there will be no good outcome if you go 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, come on then.
I'll let you try my new cannon."
Qingcang has already built Wang Zongwei a cannon equipped with a new type of artillery shells.
This kind of cannon is extremely powerful, about ten times more powerful than the previous cannons.
However, the number in the early stage is not very large, and the same is true for the number of artillery shells.
There are about a hundred of them.
This cannon is very precious, and it is the only one.
But these one hundred cannonballs should be enough to scare Lu Bu's army, because they are so powerful.
Lu Bu said: "You must have stolen our information, otherwise how could you have a new type of cannon?"
"I'm a better military engineer than any of you, and I still have to steal jokes."
Qingcang put down the loudspeaker and stopped talking to Lu Bu too much.
He shouted: "Come here, set up the cannon!"
After this order, someone immediately put the new cannon on the mount.
The barrel of this cannon is much thinner than the others, and its shape is relatively unique.
It has no ignition device, and is actually just an enlarged version of the rifle.
Then The launcher was modified.
"shoot off"
With a bang, a cannon was fired first.
Its sound was so violent that it made everyone's eardrums hurt.
The cannonball flew out and aimed at Lu Bu's army.
The shells streaked across the sky, leaving an afterimage. ah ah Several screams rang out one after another, and dozens of people fell to the ground.
The shell passed through their bodies and landed not far away.
With a bang, it produced a violent explosion, and the huge explosion roared, sending the enemy troops beside it flying into the sky.
At the same time, a mushroom cloud-like thing rose in place.
A large number of enemy troops died.
A rough calculation showed that nearly two hundred people died under this shell.
This is the power of this shell.
If it were a hundred, wouldn't it kill nearly 30,000 people?
This is a terrible number.
It is possible that this number is even larger, because the place where the shell just hit was not Places with large numbers of people.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
If you go to densely populated areas, the number may be even larger.
When Lu Bu and others watched the cannonball from being launched to falling, they watched the whole process, and all of them took a breath of air, because its range was huge and its power was also very powerful.
Ordinary cannon attacks could damage buildings 10% of the time.
It is strong, but for humans, its effect is not very high, but this cannonball is not.
It seems to supplement the shortcomings of the cannon.
It is specially made for humans, but its destructive power on buildings is not known.
How about it.
"Qingcang, where did your cannonballs come from?"
Lu Bu seemed to find that Qingcang's cannonballs were very different from theirs, and felt that Qingcang's shells were more terrifying.
"This is what we made.
We produced it and then loaded it."
Qingcang drank it, and someone immediately loaded a large cannonball into the barrel.
Lu Bu murmured: “So awesome” Cheng Yu shouted at this time: "Hurry up and retreat, their cannons are coming again."
Qingcang'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.
At the same time, they even forgot that they still had cannons mounted.
"Don't panic, don't panic, everyone listens.
Only the person operating the cannon is left in front to catch Huaxia City off guard.
The others move back."
Lu Bu was right to arrange this, otherwise they would only be beaten
