"Understood." Although Zhang Zhi really wanted the other party to reply immediately, he did know the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, even if Wei Yan said this, he could only say: "We can give the general time to think about it, but please be faster, otherwise, I'm afraid that something will happen, once that's the case, if a person dies, it will be difficult for an immortal to have the power to return to heaven." ”

"Understood." Wei Yan knew that Zhang Zhi was talking about the safety of his family, after all, they were all in Jingzhou now, and they were all within Guan Yu's territory, if he couldn't do it in advance, once the matter of his defection to the Celestial Empire was known, with Guan Yu's character, the first person to suffer would be his family.

Wei Yan made a decision to think about it, and Zhang Zhi knew that he had to leave. After all, this is an enemy camp, and the longer you stay here, the greater the danger will be, and this danger is not only for yourself, but also for Wei Yan.

Zhang Zhi left, and before leaving, he left a list, the people here have all been screened by the Tianyan Organization, and many of them are suspected of being Zhuge Liang's internal response in Wei Yan's army, that is to say, once Wei Yan wants to take away the army here, then these people will become tigers in the way.

Holding this list in his hand, and even seeing that there were several generals he usually trusted were among them, Wei Yan was in a cold sweat, originally he wanted to discuss with these people, what kind of attitude would they have if he surrendered to the Celestial Empire? Now it seems that he can't talk about it, not only that, but he can't talk about other people who are not on the list, because who knows if the Celestial Empire's Tianyan Organization is really that powerful, what if he wants to slip through the net? He didn't want that once he made a decision, there would be people around him who would oppose him.

Holding the list tightly, at this moment, Wei Yan's eyes showed a fierce gaze, like a vicious wolf, and after people saw it, they couldn't help but have a feeling of dazedness in their hearts.

......

Shanglu City, Wudu County, Yizhou.

In one night, Zhuge Liang hurriedly transferred 200,000 bows and arrows to the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, that is, he got the information early, he wanted to use these bows and arrows to give the Celestial Empire army a good look, and also told them that although your explosives are very powerful, they really have no effect on the well-prepared formation.

After everything was ready, the sky began to brighten, and the horn sounded, and the army of the Celestial Empire outside the city really began to move.

The three army commanders, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, and Zhang Liao, each took the lead with 50,000 cavalry.

These were the most elite cavalry armies of the three legions, and under the leadership of their respective legion commanders, they came like a howling wind and rushed straight into the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, without a single stop in between, as if they had really found a way to break the formation.

For the impact of the 150,000 cavalry, the Xishu soldiers in the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation did not give any resistance, they were ordered to keep an eye on the opponent's explosives, that is what they need to guard against, as long as this thing does not appear, all they have to do is wait. As for the 150,000 cavalry who entered the formation, to be honest, they really didn't put it in their eyes.

The three generals of Lu Bu rushed into the formation in three directions, and in the process of entering, they threw more than a dozen bundles of explosives in their hands towards the formation according to Zhang Chao's instructions. But because they didn't ignite, these things disappeared as soon as they entered the formation.

"Haha, are the soldiers of the Celestial Empire crazy these days? The explosives were thrown in without ignition, is this sending us something? On the tower of Shanglu City, the third general Zhang Fei couldn't stop laughing when he saw this scene.

Zhuge Liang also watched intently from the top of the city tower, and disappeared when he saw the explosives entering the formation, and his face was flushed, and he laughed.

He has always wanted to get some explosives to study it well, even if Zhang Chao can make this thing, he believes that he can also make it with his own intelligence, but he has been suffering from the lack of finished products, although he has also paid some price for this, but because the Zhang family weapons hospital is too tightly defended, the people he sent can't touch people at all.

Well, now that he had obtained so many finished explosives at once, he believed that it was only a matter of time before the same thing was developed.

But in addition to being happy, he did have a trace of worry in his heart, he got the explosives so easily, Zhuge Liang couldn't believe it, Zhang Chao was not an ordinary enemy, and the people sent this time were all famous generals, how could he send the explosives to his hands so easily, could it be that the other party had any conspiracy?

just felt that something was wrong, but Zhuge Liang really couldn't think of what kind of trick Zhang Chao could make. If he wants to say that he can break the formation with these 150,000 people, he will never believe it, so what is all this going on?

Without knowing the reason, Zhuge Liang said to Zhang Fei with a cautious attitude: "Third general, please notify the soldiers, let the soldiers in the formation start to counterattack, be sure to kill the enemy who enters the formation in the shortest possible time, regardless of life and death." ”

The last time Chun Yuqiong led troops into battle, Zhuge Liang also gave the other party a flash of life, that was because he was very sure, but this time, I don't know why I always feel restless, so I just don't want any prisoners, let's kill them first.

Outside the city gate, in front of the Celestial Empire army, seeing that after the three army commanders of Lu Bu entered the formation with 150,000 cavalry, they quickly disappeared from sight, and Guo Jia and the others looked forward to the emperor Zhang Chao.

Everything was done according to the emperor's instructions, and now Lu Bu and the others have also entered the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, and now it has become very difficult to withdraw, and it is time to see the real move.

Feeling everyone's attention on his body, Zhang Chao smiled, and said to Xu Chu, the chief of the guard on the side: "Zhongkang, push things out." ”

"Yes." After Xu Chu hugged his fists, he turned around and went to arrange. In the expectation of everyone, in just a moment's work, ten black iron guys weighing thousands of pounds were pushed from the formation to the forefront by some strong soldiers.

"What is this?" As soon as they saw this black iron guy, it was so bulky, and there was a cylinder extending out of its front end, Guo Jia and the others had a puzzled expression on their faces, what is this? Is it just pointing to this thing to break the formation? Although this thing looks a little heavy, you can't use this thing to charge into battle, not to mention that it moves too slowly, just to push it into the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, I don't know how many soldiers you have to lose to do it, what does this mean.

No one recognized that the long and cylindrical barrel, or even the barrel of the cannon, was the place where the gunpowder passed when it was fired. Of course, everyone will not recognize it, and it is also fateful, for the artillery thing, Zhang Chao has always hidden it very deeply, the Zhangjia Weapons Academy is definitely a forbidden area of the Celestial Empire, even an important minister like Guo Jia, without Zhang Chao's permission, it is also impossible to enter. It's not that he doesn't trust everyone, but he needs a sense of mystery that can best determine victory or defeat in a war.

This time, in order to play a role in turning the tide of the war, Zhang Chao even transported these ten manufactured artillery pieces mixed with them on the pretext of transporting grain and grass.

Zhang Shou was subordinate to the heavy cavalry of the Zhang family army and was directly under the jurisdiction of Zhang Chao, and no one else had the right to ask what he wanted to do, so that the artillery could be transported to the front line without attracting anyone's attention on the way.

The artillery was pushed out, and the confidence on Zhang Chao's face became even stronger, this time, he was going to use this thing to break the so-called unbreakable Eight Golden Lock Formation, he didn't believe that if a burst of artillery smashed over, the opponent's formation would not be chaotic. Not to mention that he threw dozens of bundles of explosives in advance, and once there was an explosion, those things would become additives, and once the artillery shells exploded those things, they would have a better effect.

It can be said that everything is in Zhang Chao's calculations. Then again, if he doesn't do these jobs well, Zhang Chao is reluctant to let the three generals Lu Bu rush into the formation. The reason why these three fierce generals were sent was to let them play a role in sweeping everything when the formation was broken, and he believed that Zhuge Liang must not have expected that the formation was broken, and that time was the time for the Celestial Empire army to expand its results.

After calculating the time, at this moment, the third general Lu Bu should obey his orders to enter the depths of the Eight Golden Lock Arrays, so that he can effectively avoid the attack range of the artillery, and at this time, he can also launch an attack.

"Come on, get ready to light the fire." Preparing to attack, Zhang Chao gave another order. Then I saw ten iron guards walking to the cannon with torches. Another guard placed a round black sphere inside the cannon.

Everything is carried out by the iron guard, which shows how much Zhang Chao attaches importance to artillery.

After everything was ready, Zhang Chao looked ahead, looked at the eight-door golden lock array that had been closed, and said in a firm tone: "Ignition." ”

As soon as the voice came out, ten iron guards holding torches stepped forward and lit the fuse of the cannon, and then saw a faint green smoke being ignited, and the iron guards around the artillery quickly retreated, they had seen the movement of this iron guy when he fired the cannon with Zhang Chao in the Zhangjia Weapons Academy, and knew that the distance was too close, and he was afraid that the eardrums might be broken.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were almost focused on the cannon that was burning the fuse, and it was at this moment that Guo Jia and the others knew that this thing didn't need to be pushed to the front, but only needed to be ignited from a distance. But what the power of this thing was, they still had doubts before they saw the facts.
