The Three Kingdoms: Steamed Buns and Pickled Cabbage, I Became the Emperor

Chapter 104 The Terrifying Power of Black Powder

"Crazy people, what a bunch of lunatics!"

Seeing Taishi Ci and others so fearless and courageous, Zhao Yu was shocked.

If the reinforcements hadn't arrived in time.

If these nine thousand soldiers attack from the side, Danyang's elite troops will surely be defeated on the spot.

Although it is stable now.

However, in this fighting, Danyang's elite troops suffered heavy losses.

"General Cao, this time it's up to you!"

Looking into the distance, Zhao Yu's gaze was cast towards Cao Bao, who was no longer being stopped by anyone.

According to the tactics they had discussed beforehand.

Once Cao Bao can disperse Ye Chen’s central army.

That's when he opened the city and attacked.

Although Ye Chen also ordered Zhao Yun to lead 10,000 cavalry to guard against them.

But the central army was in chaos.

The situation is not up to Zhao Yun.

Maybe, he can even take advantage of the situation to defeat Zhao Yun's 10,000 cavalrymen!
"kill!"

On the flank of the battlefield, Cao Bao also saw Taishi Ci's fearlessness and bravery.

but.

It was precisely because of seeing this that Cao Bao became even more determined at this moment.

His 5,000 elite cavalrymen must completely disperse Ye Chen's central army.

This way.

If Zhao Yu led the army and charged forward, Ye Chen would surely be defeated and thrown into disarray.

"The governor has issued an order that whoever kills Ye Chen will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and promoted three levels!"

Cao Bao shouted loudly.

For a moment, the entire cavalry team became more excited.

"Whoever kills Ye Chen will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and promoted three levels!"

"Whoever kills Ye Chen will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and promoted three levels!"

"Whoever kills Ye Chen will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and promoted three levels!"

"...!"

Shouts echoed throughout the arena, and Cao Bao's cavalry approached quickly, heading straight for Ye Chen's central army.

Five thousand cavalrymen charged, and Ye Chen had no defense at all on the plain.

Looking at the cavalrymen charging towards him led by Cao Bao, there was no fear on Ye Chen's face, but instead a smile appeared.

"Order the army to light fire immediately and retreat!"

Ye Chen said to Cheng Yu beside him.

The next moment, a full 20,000-strong army began to retreat to the rear in an orderly manner.

The sudden retreat immediately changed the situation on the entire battlefield.

"Ye Chen's central army retreated?!"

On top of the Huaiyin city wall.

Zhao Yu looked at Ye Chen who was retreating with a dull look on his face. The latter's flag heading backwards was too conspicuous.

It’s hard not to see it.

The commander-in-chief’s flag retreated. Isn’t Ye Chen afraid that his subordinates will collapse instantly?

The general's flag retreated, which was no small matter.

It is very likely to cause the army under his command to be defeated instantly.

This is military common sense, how could Ye Chen not know it? ?
“Is there some trick in this?”

Zhao Yu thought secretly.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I still didn’t understand what Ye Chen meant by suddenly doing this?
Zhao Yu was not the only one who noticed this change.

Even Taishi Ci, Dian Wei and others who were in the fight saw Ye Chen's big flag with the word "Ye" on it retreating.

But both of them have great trust in Ye Chen.

Unless they received Ye Chen's order to retreat, the two of them would never retreat even a single step.

"Hahaha!"

"Ye Chen is scared, soldiers, follow me and kill him!"

"Today is the day to accomplish great things!"

"Kill!"

Seeing Ye Chen's army retreating, Cao Bao suddenly became excited at this moment.

He seemed to see victory just before his eyes.

As a result, he didn't even notice the slightly raised mound on the ground.

As Ye Chen's army retreated, Cao Bao's cavalry quickly pursued them.

"shoot arrows"

Sitting in the center of the army, Ye Chen, who was the last one to leave, had only 5,000 soldiers. Looking at the burning hay, he clenched his fists and ordered the last soldiers to shoot arrows at the horses.

Cao Bao and his men cannot rush too fast.

otherwise.

This time is about to be missed.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Arrows flew all over the sky, and the speed of Cao Bao's attacking army slowed down slightly.

Cao Bao didn't take it seriously at all as to why Ye Chen shot arrows during the retreat.

He was going to die anyway.

It's just a last-ditch effort.

No matter what you do, you can't change this fact.

"Soldiers, follow me and kill!"

"Whoever kills Ye Chen will be rewarded handsomely!!"

Cao Bao shouted and led five thousand cavalrymen to charge towards Ye Chen quickly.

at this time.

Zhao Yu, who was on the Huaiyin city wall, looked at Cao Bao who was attacking proactively. For some reason, he always felt uneasy.

Ye Chen was able to capture Guangling County with the help of only one county. He was definitely not an ordinary person.

How could he do such a stupid thing?

"But what's the danger?"

Zhao Yu couldn't figure it out.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Just as Zhao Yu was thinking.

The next moment, a loud noise was heard in the distance, and then the entire ground began to shake.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Followed by a violent explosion.

The next moment, huge flames shot up into the sky above the distant plain.

Under the violent shock, everyone was completely stunned by this horrible sound! !
"The Earth Dragon Flips Over! This is the Earth Dragon Flips Over!!"

In an instant, an unbelievable cry came out of Zhao Yu's mouth.

"not good!"

suddenly.

Zhao Yu seemed to have sensed something and stared in the direction of Cao Bao's attack.

At this moment, the plains covering several kilometers have turned into a hell on earth.

"Oh, my legs, my legs!!"

"The earth dragon is turning over, run, it's the earth dragon turning over!"

"Save me, I don't want to die!"

"Run! Don't just stand there! You'll die if you don't run!"

"Get down quickly, don't run, you can't escape!!"

"..."

At this moment, the shock wave generated by the violent explosion directly turned the 5,000 cavalrymen led by Cao Bao into various corpses.

Countless war horses were turned into broken limbs in the explosion.

Large and small potholes appeared across the several kilometers-long plain, and gravel flew everywhere, hitting countless people.

Many people were crushed to death on the spot and their lives or deaths are unknown.

Those who had managed to survive were also terrified. They lay on the ground in terror, not daring to move at all.

The frightened warhorse dragged its injured body and ran wildly in all directions without any purpose.

Cao Bao, who was rushing in the front, disappeared on the spot.

For a moment, all the soldiers on the battlefield were frightened by this scene.

Even the 20,000 soldiers who followed Ye Chen to retreat were so frightened that they lay on the ground, not daring to move at all.

Ye Chen, who was responsible for all this, was protected by his personal soldiers.

Then the sound of the explosion gradually disappeared, Ye Chen stood up and took a look at the scene in front of him.

Suddenly, the corners of his mouth twitched.

He now has only one question he wants to ask Cheng Yu.

You are so good, Cheng Zhongde.

How much black powder did you use?
