The heartless cannon is also known as the flying thunder cannon.
It is a crude homemade weapon, characterized by its crude appearance, complete lack of accuracy, and low chamber pressure.
To put it bluntly, the principle is the same as that of fireworks bombs. As long as you have black powder and a pipe, you can use it.
Although he had tested it several times, Lu Bu was still afraid of it exploding, so he stayed away from it.
Xu Chu lit the fuse and ran far away with an agility that was completely inconsistent with his strong body.
When Yuan Shu was on the city wall and didn't know what they were pretending to be, he heard a bang, and along with a burst of smoke, a large cloth bag with a diameter of one foot burst out of the chest and turned over at a speed visible to the naked eye. Somersaulting, he drew a parabola and hit himself.
The cloth bag passed over Yuan Shu's head and fell into the city wall without moving.
The sudden silence made both parties feel awkward.
"Lord, it's not a hit..." Xu Chu stretched his neck and jumped to look into the city, as if he wanted to see through the city wall and see where the bomb fell.
"Why didn't it ring? Was it knocked out again..." Dian Wei also pretended to understand.
"Don't worry, let the cannonballs fly for a while..." Although Lu Bu looked confident, he was unsure in his heart.
The fuse has been improved. Logically speaking, it should be able to prevent wind. Why not explode it?
Yuan Shu on the city wall was also confused: What is Lu Bu doing? What's in the big cloth bag?
Because he said: "Go and see where that thing fell? Pick it up and let me take a look!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud roar, and the earth trembled three times!
Yuan Shu and others were so frightened that they all hugged their heads.
"Where did the thunder come from in broad daylight?" Yuan Shu asked in a trembling voice.
"Report! Lord! It was the cloth bag that was thrown into the city... suddenly exploded, killing two soldiers who went to visit, and... also damaged a house..."
"Ah! There is such a thing!" Yuan Shu was shocked and hurriedly looked into the city. Sure enough, he saw dust flying from the place where the explosion had just occurred. He could vaguely see that a house had collapsed, and there seemed to be shouts and wailing.
"Lord! I have heard rumors that Lu Bu is a close disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, and he specializes in witchcraft and sorcery..."
"Yeah! I also heard that Lu Bu can draw thunder, but he summoned thunder in broad daylight, and even killed and injured people!"
"My lord, you have a noble status, but you should not put yourself in danger. Please evade it first!"
"Yes, Lord, please avoid it!" Everyone agreed.
He said he wanted Yuan Shu to hide, but in fact he wanted to wait for Yuan Shu to leave so that he could retreat as well.
Regardless of whether it's magic or magic, it can bring down the house in one fell swoop. It's so fucking scary, isn't it?
However, it seems that Lu Bu's lightning-drawing technique is a little less accurate. As long as you stay away from him, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Yuan Shu was more afraid than anyone else!
He is the chosen one, the one who has won the imperial seal and will ascend the throne as the emperor!
Wouldn't it be unfair if he was struck to death by the demon Lu Bu Yi Lei in such a confused way?
Of course, you can't give in in front of so many people.
Yuan Shu glanced at Lu Bu who didn't know what he was doing there, snorted coldly, and said in a very calm tone:
"What can you do to me with crooked ways and trivial tricks? I, Yuan Shu, are a manly man. I do what I say. I won't open the door if I don't. I'll piss you off!"
Just use whatever means you have, I'll be waiting for you in the city! snort! "
After saying that, he lifted up his shirt handsomely, put his hand on his hip and held the hilt of his sword, and strode down to the city in a menacing manner.
His generals and counselors also hurriedly followed Yuan Shu down the city wall.
Passing by the explosion site, everyone couldn't help but look sideways. They saw the ruins of the walls and the broken arms and legs that had not been repaired. They couldn't help but feel frightened - the thunder was so powerful that if it hit them on the head But what the hell!
No one spoke, and everyone speeded up their pace in unison.
At this moment, another bang was heard outside the city, and a second big cloth bag was thrown into the city!
Only this time he was thrown into a courtyard.
It didn't make people wait as long as the first shot. Just a moment later there was a loud bang, a wall was knocked down, and a cloud of dust was raised.
"Drive!" Someone urged him to dismount, and everyone followed suit. A group of people surrounded Yuan Shu and ran towards the city.
The soldiers on the city wall saw that a group of big shots were running away, and no one dared to say anything in anger, so they could only curse in their hearts, while silently raising their shields above their heads, hoping that the next thunderbolt would not fall on their heads...
Lu Bu outside the city didn't seem to have thought about blowing up Yuan Shu to death. Instead, he ordered to camp arrogantly outside the city gate, as if he was eager for Yuan Shao to come out of the city to attack him.
When Yuan Shu and others returned to the office, they felt relieved that they were far away from danger and no longer had to worry about thunder falling from the sky.
"Lord! Lu Bu dared to camp under the city. He is so arrogant! The general is willing to lead a group of troops and sneak out of the city under the cover of night to catch him off guard!" Chen Lan, the general, volunteered.
Yan Xiang hurriedly stood up and said, "No, my lord! Lu Bu is cunning. Since he dares to camp under the city, he must have intentionally exposed his trap to lure us out of the city to attack. He has set up an ambush in the camp, waiting for us to leave the city!"
Li Ye said: "What if Lu Bu is just bluffing now, but is actually waiting for the follow-up large forces to arrive?
When the soldiers besiege Shouchun, there will be no way out for me! It's better to take advantage of his hard work and strike first! "
"What about Lu Bu's thunder that day?" Yan Xiang asked.
"This..." When talking about Tianlei, everyone fell silent.
Chen Lan said: "My lord! Lu Bu's demonic thunder is certainly scary, but it only takes a long time to hit it, and it's not very accurate!
As long as we act quickly and stealthily enough, we can rush into the enemy camp before he summons the thunder!
As long as he is entangled with his men and horses, can his sky thunder only hit our people and not his own people? "
Yang Hong, the chief historian, also said: "Although I, Guan Lu Bu, are coming with great force, my number is not large, only two or three thousand people, but we have five thousand elite soldiers in the city, and there are tens of thousands of civilians!
Isn’t it a joke that so many people were besieged in the city by Lu Bu’s two thousand men?
And if it is a sneak attack at night, even if he uses magic, it will be difficult to see clearly, and the accuracy will definitely be lower! "
As they talked, the majority of people agreed to take advantage of the night to sneak out of the city to attack Lu Bu's camp!
It seems a bit unreasonable that so many people were so frightened by Lu Bu's troops that they cowered in the city.
Moreover, there was no need for them to go out of the city to steal the camp. If they could capture Lu Bu in one fell swoop, they wouldn't have to worry about a thunderbolt falling on their heads in the future.
Otherwise, how hard would it be for these people to be on tenterhooks all the time?
Yuan Shu was originally a person with no independent opinions. After listening to everyone's words, he finally nodded and said: "In that case, General Chen will lead two thousand troops tonight to go out of the city to defeat the enemy!"
"General, I obey! I will take the demon Lu Bu's head and present it to my lord!" Chen Lan gave a military salute.
