"Kill!"

Jiang Yiqu's shout was silent for three seconds. Then, after the soldiers reacted, there was a shocking shout of killing, and then about 5,000 soldiers followed the general and strode towards the blasted city gate.

"Kill, kill, kill!" The chaotic and earth-shattering shouting of killing sounded, which also made Dong Zhuojun on the top of the city tower wake up. Especially General Li Tong, who commanded the defense of the city, at this moment he finally understood what was going on.

The gates of the city were broken. It seems to be the work of an earthquake, so how could there be such a coincidence?

Li Tong couldn't figure it out, could it be that even God couldn't help Zhang Chao!

In ancient times, people were still a little superstitious because science and technology were not developed, and when Li Tong thought that God was helping Zhang Chao, the fear in his heart can be imagined.

He will not understand the truth of the so-called death of those who rebel against the sky. Even if even Cangtian is helping Zhang Chao, how can this battle be fought? After saying that, the city gate was broken, how could Zhiyang City still hold on?

"Withdraw, withdraw." Li Tong saw that the general trend was going, so he hurriedly gave the order to retreat to the soldiers around him. At this moment, what he was thinking about was not how to defend Zhiyang City, but how to withdraw without being killed.

In the camp of the rear of the army.

Zhang Chao was also a little shocked to look at the scene in front of him.

If you want to know the power of bombs, I am afraid that no one knows better than him.

When he was in the Golden Triangle, he had never seen what kind of shells he had, and he had even heard of the fact that a single shell could blow up a hill. But at this moment, he still had to admit that he was shocked by the power of the explosive in front of him.

I remember the last time I went to the Zhangjia Weapons Academy, Zhang Chao had instructed the masters there to study gunpowder and told them some of the knowledge he knew. This time, when Huang Zhong came from Jinyang City to escort grain and grass, he asked him to bring three from his multi-weapon academy.

These are also the three that have just been made. Because of the limited time, no one knows how powerful they will be, and they can't even guarantee whether they will be blown up.

Zhang Chao's example was also used to deal with Zhuge Liang in Chang'an City. Thinking that it doesn't hurt to try anyway, whether it's useful or not. It's just that I never thought that the siege of Chang'an City was finally successful because of the bravery of the soldiers and the surprise attack of the special forces.

It was useless to attack Chang'an City, but it was indeed useful to attack Guiyang City. Seeing that Ma Teng was about to be unable to resist, if he couldn't arrive in time, he was afraid that the situation would change huge and unfavorable to him, so Zhang Chao had to give it a try.

Just to keep others from knowing that he had such a thing, and because he didn't understand the power of this thing, he didn't tell too many people, but decided to use it when the first army was attacking the city, so that even if it didn't work, it wouldn't hinder anything.

But I never thought that this bomb would be so powerful. It is not weaker than the ordinary artillery shells seen in the Golden Triangle, and even if it must be compared, the power is still much stronger than I imagined. At least an ordinary cannonball may not be able to completely destroy the city gate.

While lamenting the power of this gunpowder bomb, Zhang Chao was the first among the people to react. I saw that when he saw that Jiang Yiqu had taken the lead and began to rush into the city gate, he said to Lu Bu on the side: "Fengxian, the city gate is lost, you can take your cavalry to rush up, remember, you must go up with lightning speed, without delay, and strive to capture the land of Yunjie at one time." ”

"No." Lu Bu was also frightened by the power of the explosion in front of him. Although he claims to be a hero, he has to admit that if he puts himself under that sound, he is afraid that he will also be crushed.

Just when he was surprised, Zhang Chao's military order was issued, and Lu Bu, who had always been belligerent, immediately agreed, and then said to the deputy commander Hou Cheng on the side: "Quick, immediately order all the soldiers and horses, and then follow, I will go first with 20,000 vanguard cavalry." ”

Lu Bu knew the importance of time, and after giving instructions to Hou Cheng, he rode back to the army, ordered 20,000 cavalry, brought a little dry food, and rushed towards Zhiyang City, which had been broken. In Zhiyang City, Li Tong had already been defeated and fled. It was only because the city gate was suddenly broken that the entire city fell into chaos, causing many Dong Zhuo soldiers to flee without knowing that their master had abandoned the city.

Instinctively, when they saw Jiang Yiqu rushing towards with a legion of soldiers, they were still stepping forward to resist.

There was a scuffle in the city, which created a good opportunity for Li Tong to escape. After he left the city with 3,000 cavalry, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was chasing behind him.

"Luckily, no one caught up. It's just that this time it's too evil, what the hell is going on? Why did the earthquake suddenly blow up the east gate? Li Tong, who didn't know the details, still looked puzzled.

Reality didn't give him much time to think, and a scout came behind him to report that an enemy cavalry was following behind.

"Run." As soon as he heard that there were chasing soldiers, Li Tong really didn't have time to think too much, as for turning around and fighting, it was even more unrealistic, with the city in his body, 50,000 soldiers couldn't stop it, so now there are only 3,000 cavalry, why should the enemy fight?

Li Tong continued to flee, and behind them, Lu Bu and the cavalry of the 2,000 vanguard regiment pursued all the way. The two sides are one after the other, coming straight to Yun Street.

Zhiyang City was broken, the time was too fast, completely unexpected, and when the five thousand soldiers arranged here by Dong Zhuo heard the news, Li Tong had already arrived here, and not far behind him was the cavalry led by Lu Bu.

Knowing that there were 20,000 enemy troops behind him, and Li Tong, who only had 8,000 soldiers and horses, did not dare to stop the enemy here, he gave up Yunjie and retreated backwards.

Between chasing and fleeing, the two sides crossed Yun Street and went straight to Lingju City.

Zhiyang City.

The soldiers of the First Legion quickly wiped out the remnants of Dong Zhuo's soldiers in the city. After knowing that the main general Li Tong had fled, morale was completely lost, and many people chose to surrender.

This also allows Wen Chou to take over the defense here more quickly. After adding the timely entry of the Second Army Corps and the Fourth Army Corps into the city, the whole situation was decided.

In Zhiyang City, Zhang Chao convened an impromptu military meeting. In front of many generals, he explained that the reason why the East City Gate was broken was because of the man-made system under the "secret weapon".

As soon as the news appeared, it caused a huge amount of discussion in the entire military tent. The generals were shocked at first, and then excited.

They didn't know much about gunpowder, and some of them originally had the same mind as Li Tong, and it was an earthquake in the future, but after hearing Zhang Chao's explanation, they knew that this was a secret weapon made by their lord.

Zhang Chao did not explain how the secret weapon was made and how many of them were. But that's enough to cheer everyone up. Suffice it to say that these things are theirs, not the enemy's. And with this thing, in the future, if you attack the city, you won't be in the same trouble as before, so it seems that wouldn't it be a problem to attack the city and plunder the land?

Zhang Chao didn't explain much, he just didn't want his "secret weapon" to be known to outsiders.

The so-called secret is naturally that the fewer people who know, the better, and only in this way can they use this thing to exert their maximum combat power, and it can also make them occupy the advantage and initiative for a long time.

After the announcement of the "secret weapon", it was considered to have calmed the morale of the generals. After that, Zhang Chao praised the first legion, after all, they captured Zhiyang City in one day. Although they relied on external objects, the fight that day was not fake.

After announcing the results, Zhang Chao ordered the army to rest for a night, and then go to Yunjie early tomorrow morning, striving to start a battle with Dong Zhuojun's main force as soon as possible.

After the meeting, the generals quickly left their accounts to make arrangements. Pound, who was fortunate enough to be present at the meeting, returned to the tent with a heart of uneasiness and trepidation.

Ma Chao has just taken the medicine. Under the conditioning of Medical Officer Zhang Chao, his body has been improving day by day, and it may not take a month or two to be able to regain his vitality and go into battle to kill the enemy again.

"General Pang, is the meeting over?" Seeing that Pang De was back, the second son, Ma Tie, asked with a smile.

The way in which friendship between generals can quickly increase is through living and dying together. The defensive battle of Broken Qiang City made Pang De finally fall into the eyes of the Ma brothers, and he also gained enough respect.

"Second son, I'm back." After nodding and smiling at Ma Tie, Pang De saw Ma Chao, who had already gotten up and sat there, so he took a few steps forward, then bent down and bowed and said, "Eldest son, are you better." ”

"Hehe, Zhang Chao's medical officer is very level, and I have already gotten better. By the way, in the future, General Pang can continue to call me the young general, and it is really awkward to call me the eldest prince. Ma Chao smiled.

Seeing that Xiliang Ma's clan is about to become a force under Zhang Chao's banner, it seems that he is already a little uncomfortable calling him the eldest son.

"Yes, Major General." Pound replied with a bowed head.

"That's right. Hehe, General Pang went to attend the military meeting held by Zhang Chao, is there anything new? Ma Chao still smiled and asked. For the siege of Zhiyang during the day, Ma Chao did not go to watch the battle because of his health, but stayed in the rear army to recuperate. But for Zhang Chaojun's heavenly help, the earthquake shook the city gate and heard of it, in his opinion, this is completely due to the other party's good luck, not because of the strong combat power.

When Ma Chao asked about this sentence, he said it completely casually. Maybe in his opinion, there will be nothing too new in this military meeting, it is nothing more than the capture of Zhiyang City, and Zhang Chao will be proud of himself.
