Chapter 742 Sweeping Everything

In the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, and Zhang Liao entered the depths of the array.

Everything they did was done in accordance with Zhang Chao's requirements. Throw the explosives first, then go deep into the formation, waiting for the moment when the general attack begins.

Although they said that they were waiting, until now, they didn't know when to launch a general attack, but for reasons of trust, no one asked much, and they waited like this.

Gradually, in the waiting time, you can see that more and more Xishu soldiers are focused around, obviously this is the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation is closing, and then I am afraid that it will be encircled, at that time, Lu Bu and others in the formation will usher in attacks from all directions, at that time, if you are not careful, you may lose your life here.

"Don't be nervous, we have to trust the emperor and listen to my orders in a while." Lu Bu saw the nervousness on the faces of some cavalrymen, after all, they were surrounded by people, and their lives could be lost at any time, and whoever they replaced would be nervous.

Dian Wei and Zhang Liao were also comforting their soldiers, and they were also closing their iron horses, wanting to form a battle circle in the formation to ensure that when attacked, they could be subjected to minimal force.

Everyone was waiting at this moment, and under the gaze of Guo Jia and others, the fuse on the cannon was finally burned, and after a few breaths, a loud bang was heard, and a burst of fire flew out of the barrel, and fell straight towards the eight golden lock arrays in the distance.

The sudden explosion made some of the nearby healthy horses neigh, even if Guo Jia and the others were far away, they still felt that their hearing was affected in a slight, so it can be seen how loud this thing is to launch the sound.

Of course, this is also the reason why the artillery is not yet perfect, and when the technology advances, the noise will be much smaller. It's just that at the moment, it can only appear in such a shocking situation, but I have to say that the sound of this cannon alone is enough to make people shocked.

"Boom, boom..."

Ten cannons were ignited and released at the same time, and ten shells were also fired out of the barrel as desired, and then fell on the eight golden lock formations composed of the Western Shu army.

Originally, the Xishu soldiers here were doing the thing of encircling the 150,000 cavalry of the Celestial Dynasty according to the changes in the formation. Although the strength of the other party is strong, in the eyes of the soldiers in these formations, as long as they can be given enough time to form an encirclement, they can make full use of the formation to kill all these invading enemies in the formation.

When the soldiers were encircling and thinking about a big fight, suddenly a thunderous sound came, and then when everyone was still puzzled, a huge firelight group detonated in the array, and the Xishu soldiers who were completely defenseless were drowned in this artillery fire.

"Boom!" Whenever a flash of fire appeared, the land where it was attacking, there was no one around within a distance of two feet, and the soldiers who were standing here before were also sent to the sky at the first time, and the soldiers in the battle were blown up to the ground, and it was difficult to find a good part on the body; In the periphery of the artillery, the iron fragments split in all directions, and also affected a lot of Xishu soldiers, when the iron pieces suddenly drilled into their bodies, these people couldn't help but shout in pain, rolling on the ground, and for a while, there was a chaotic scene on the periphery of the Eight Golden Lock Array.

And this scene, with the second round of artillery attacks, began to extend forward, not only the periphery of the formation, but also some of the Xishu soldiers in the middle of the formation began to be covered by artillery fire, in front of this lethal artillery, the Xishu army has long been without a formation, no one knows whether this thing will fall on their heads in the next moment, no one knows, the next moment they will be killed by this artillery.

The danger of the unknown is always terrifying.

Artillery is the latest thing for many people, but it is also a terrifying weapon. As the cannonballs fell, the Eight Golden Lock Formations began to be chaotic, and this confusion also began to spread in a very short period of time, making some of the Xishu soldiers in the formation who had not yet been affected by the artillery also panicked, even if that thing could blow up their companions, why couldn't they blow themselves up?

Without knowing where the artillery would fall in the next moment, the Xishu soldiers began to retreat in great fear, and the formation of the Eight Golden Lock Formations was chaotic.

As soon as the chaos began, some of the Xishu soldiers were retreating, and as a cannon hit a bundle of explosives that had been thrown in the array, the fire immediately rose again, and when the power spread to one piece, the speed of retreat began to increase suddenly.

The chaotic Xishu soldiers, at this moment, where do they still care about the formation, they all want to live, you retreat and I retreat, from time to time someone will be knocked to the ground, and then ushered in countless big feet on the body, and there were countless casualties on the spot.

At this moment, the three generals of Lu Bu in the formation were also shocked by this sudden loud roar, but they reacted quite quickly, after all, they had been prepared, and they had long known that the emperor would not let them rush into the formation for no reason, and now they also understood that this loud and lethal thing should be the emperor's new weapon.

Seeing that the Xishu soldiers who had surrounded the surrounding area had not yet fought, they began to retreat one after another, and under the chaos of the formation, they finally saw the scene outside, Commander Lu Bu took the lead in identifying the direction, pointed to Shanglu City not far away and shouted: "Brothers, kill with me." ”

"Kill!"

The Celestial Empire Iron Cavalry gave full play to their abilities at this moment, and with the help of a healthy horse, they rushed towards Shanglu City, where the city gate was still open, with lightning speed.

The people who can enter the formation are the most elite cavalry in each legion, they are not only faster, but also very fierce, and under the chaos of the Xishu army, this impact is simply unstoppable, and entered the city.

Above the city tower, Zhuge Liang's face was pale and powerless, he originally thought that his Eight Gate Golden Lock Array was invincible in the world, even if he faced the strongest Zhang Chao, he could keep them out, but now that this scene happened, he knew how ridiculous the formation he had always been proud of was, people didn't need a single soldier at all, just sent out their secret weapon from afar, and they could defeat themselves.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, let's withdraw quickly, the cavalry of the Celestial Empire has already entered the city, and it will be too late if you don't leave." The third general, Zhang Fei, was also shocked by the power of the artillery before, but when he saw Lu Bu and others entering Shanglu City with the cavalry, he still reacted quickly, and as he spoke, Zhuge Liang retreated towards the city tower.

The 150,000 Heavenly Dynasty Iron Horseman, like a monkey that has entered the belly of the Iron Fan Princess, is playing their greatest role at the moment.

"Order, the whole army is shocked." Zhang Chao outside the city, seeing that the helpless Eight Gates Golden Lock Array was broken like this, after the Xishu army was already in chaos, he took out the three-foot long sword he was wearing, and waved it forward, and suddenly the thousands of troops and horses behind him roared and shouted and rushed towards Xialucheng.

The armies of the Celestial Empire are surging like a storm sweeping away leaves.

The soldiers of Xishu retreated like the tide of the sea under heavy blows.

Compared with each other, in stark contrast, the initiative on the battlefield belonged to the Celestial Empire, and for a time, the Xishu soldiers were killed and wounded and captured.

Originally, I thought that the army of the Celestial Empire, which was just doing the battle of trapped beasts, actually had the ability to fight back, and it was still counterattacking on all fronts, and the army of Xishu, which had not made second-hand preparations at all, was completely chaotic at this moment.

Even Prime Minister Zhuge Liang didn't expect it, let alone the other generals below.

After seeing that the prime minister and the three generals were nowhere to be found, the other generals also began to retreat with their own soldiers, and at this moment it seemed that whoever escaped faster could survive, on the contrary, fighting with the enemy was just a struggle before death.

The soldiers of Xishu began to retreat wildly, just in response to the sentence that the defeat was like a mountain, and without resistance, the army of the Celestial Empire was like a tiger descending from the mountain, constantly devouring the army of Xishu, and the situation of the war was already one-sided.

"The whole army is attacking with all its might, there is no need to obey any orders, whoever can occupy Chengdu will be the first merit." The result at this moment was also somewhat unexpected by Zhang Chao. Although he had said what he would do once he broke the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation when he was promoted before, it was obvious that not many people listened to it at that time, and even fewer generals could still do it according to the plan now. Moreover, Xi Shu's retreat was too fast, so fast that Zhang Chao didn't have time to react.

Fortunately, this is a good thing, Zhang Chao only needs to take advantage of the soldiers' surge, the violent impact is enough, and when the time comes, he will occupy as much territory as he can, and capture as many cities as he can, and finally even the imperial city of Chengdu in Xishu will be occupied, which is equivalent to a battle.

Zhang Chao's order was conveyed by the scouts, and the generals were informed that the situation on the battlefield was even more chaotic, and the generals of the Celestial Empire, who all wanted to make meritorious contributions, were attacking everywhere with their own men and horses, and some even found that there was no merit to be gained in front of Shanglu City, so they simply rushed towards the nearby Yizhou City with their soldiers.

Inside and outside Shanglu City, the Xishu army was a full 800,000 horses, and at this moment, the impact of the Celestial Empire army was scattered in all directions, and the soldiers did not know the generals, and the generals did not know the soldiers.
