560 I believe you are a ghost
Cao's army and Xu's army entered Liangzhou at the same time, and just as they were about to settle in Liangzhou, Beidi and others, who thought they had found a savior, suddenly became cold.
Ma Chao wanted to scold his mother very much, but now was not the time for him to scold his mother, so he could only leave the Northern Emperor and others who were still in the posture of the emperor first, and hurriedly gathered the 50,000 troops of Xiliang, and divided the troops into two ways to deal with the Xu family army and the Cao army who suddenly attacked.
The former, who chased the Northern Emperor over, played the banner of destroying the emperor, which sounds scary.
Ma Chao originally thought that the latter was unknown and better to deal with than Xu Jiajun, but he didn't expect that the Cao dog thief would actually follow Xu Jiajun and shout to destroy the Northern Emperor together.
At this moment, Ma Chao felt that he was going to be cold.
His advisers came to persuade him, killed Beidi and others, and sent them to the foot of Helan Mountain to find the Xu family army to sue for peace.
Why is it looking for the Xu family army instead of the Cao army?
This has to start from when Dong Xing entered Beijing.
At that time, Ma Chao was not the boss of Xiliang, and the young man followed behind his father and uncle to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and rode into Beijing from Xiliang with 20,000 iron to meet the little emperor.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived in the capital, he learned that the fruits of victory had been picked by Dong Xing.
Ma Chao's father and uncle ran all the way but were forced to return empty-handed, can this family do it?
I can't do it.
Ma Jiama joined Dong Xing's army, intending to enjoy the fruits of victory together.
However, at that time, the high-spirited middle-aged man, Cao, Yuan and others, as loyal ministers of the Zhao family, how could they watch the emperor being held hostage by villains?
Naturally, the Ma family and the Cao family stood on opposite sides.
For so many years, the Ma family has been honest in their hometown of Xiliang, and they no longer want to get involved in the messy things in the Central Plains.
But sometimes people's lives are so outrageous, Ma Chao and his elders made mistakes that a man would make.
They're dead.
The old man sought stability, but he didn't really stabilize Xiliang and died.
Ma Chao, a young man, has followed his uncles to fight on horses since he was a child, and the young people in Secondary 2 always have some ideas about the second and have some ideas about the vast Central Plains.
And he is indeed a young talent, coupled with the abundant human resources left by his father, he quickly used strong force to calm the chaos within Xiliang.
At this time, the Xu Jiajun in the Central Plains had already emerged, a little girl who was only thirteen years old, became the female leader of the rebel army, which was undoubtedly a huge stimulus for Ma Chao, who was twenty years old at the time and had not yet stepped out of the house.
So, in the past few years when Xu Jiajun took Youzhou, Xiliang also poked out to the south many times.
It just didn't work out.
Cao De's old thief is not so easy to deal with, and those princes and kings in the Central Plains also have deep prejudices against them, the northern men.
Therefore, in comparison, Xu Jiajun's reputation and background are even lower than his Ma family.
It stands to reason that the Ma family should not be disliked.
Xu Jiajun: Wind Comment was killed!
Ma Chao looked at the ministers of the Northern Emperor who were holding on to the coldness behind him, but in fact he was panicked in his heart, and he was a little moved.
The Northern Emperor and his ministers who supported him immediately felt the threat of death.
At this moment, a loud "boom" comparable to a thunder hammer came from the foot of Helan Mountain, and the hearts of the people of Beidi in Wuwei County suddenly tightened.
"Not good! It's Xu Jiajun's earth-shattering! The minister from the northern capital shouted in alarm.
Ma Chaojun frowned, "What's earth-shattering?" ”
The minister of the Northern Capital swallowed his saliva and explained: "It is a divine thunder that can raze a million troops to the ground in an instant!" ”
God Thunder?
Ma Chao doesn't believe it!
"How can a mortal body attract the heavenly thunder, what nonsense are you talking about? Deceived me into being weak and uninformed? Ma Chao stared at the minister of the northern capital unhappily, his eyes widened, quite terrifying.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, the minister of the Northern Capital was in a hurry, and hurriedly described how the Gongsun army was defeated that day.
"The iron bucket is so big that one person hugs it, and the barrel is filled with black powder, and the smell of poisons such as saltpeter and sulfur is emitted, and I saw that Wang Pingping standing in the air, and the rocket in his hand was aimed at the thrown iron bucket!"
"Boom! All of a sudden, the heavens and the earth changed color, and the earth under their feet trembled violently, and they didn't give people a chance to react at all, and a heat wave rolled in, directly rushing people out, withering their hands and feet, and blowing up stumps everywhere......"
The more the minister of the northern capital spoke, the more panicked he became, and when he talked about the back, he was so afraid that tears were about to fall.
There is no other reason, but because in this era of believing in the power of ghosts and gods, the strength displayed by explosives is completely in line with contemporary people's perception of the ability of ghosts and gods.
People are not afraid to talk about ghosts and gods on weekdays, because no one has really seen such a terrible anomaly.
The most talked about are the green ghost fire and the ghost cry in the middle of the night.
But those psychological fears, how can real death be terrible?
Xu Jiajun's earth-shattering explosive barrel can kill people in an instant!
But this is all from the perspective of a layman, from Wang Pingping's point of view, these explosives have deterrent power, but the lethality is seriously insufficient, and they can't kill many people when they are thrown in the pile.
But the role of thermal weapons has always been a deterrent, not really to put it into a large area on the battlefield to harvest human lives.
Use the sound of a loud explosion to intimidate the enemy army, and if the psychological quality is not up to the mark, it will directly lose its combat effectiveness.
A sufficient amount of explosives can also be used to blast walls and fortresses, destroy enemy defenses, and so on.
But no matter what, the statement that a million troops were instantly razed to the ground is far from being something that black powder can do.
Even if there is nitric acid developed by the students of Xujiazhuang University, that small dose will not reach the amount needed for a war.
However, the explosive barrel alone was enough to deter Ma Chao and the others.
The huge explosion continued to come from the foot of Helan Mountain, and the exclamations of the soldiers seemed to have reached the Wuwei County Office.
The courtiers blocked him one after another, and even the Northern Emperor had to stop him and not allow him to go.
But will Ma Chao listen to him as a puppet emperor?
The rebellious youth obviously won't!
......
"General Wang! Ma Chao is calling you under the city! ”
Zhang Fei, who had a black and gray face, ran into the coach's tent with great interest, and shouted excitedly in a loud voice.
His grizzled appearance knew at a glance that he had just finished cleaning the battlefield.
At this time, it was almost dusk, and in the big battle during the day, the Ma family's army was killed by the Xu family's army and retreated one after another, and at this moment two cities had been lost, and now they were blocked by the Xu family's army in the acropolis and did not dare to come out.
Blitzkrieg is what Wang Pingping is best at, and with the assistance of explosive barrels, the battle line has been advanced by 200 miles in one day.
At this speed, it can be said that the Xu family army is completely running and chasing the Ma family's army.
Hearing Zhang Fei running in, Wang Pingping, who was being served by Xu Da to wash her hair, raised her head directly from the basin, and her short and sharp hair drew a perfect range in the air, shaking off Xu Da's water stains.
