In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

As a result, Cao Cao's army began to move.

A monster was slowly unveiled.

It was a specially made giant well curb.

Overall reinforcement

Its height is even half a head higher than the city wall of Yangping Pass!

However, there were no soldiers waiting to attack the city below, nor were there any catapults or similar equipment set up behind them for cover.

The entire platform was spotless, except for a "gold-plated" object standing on the very top platform.

He was already quite imposing, but now he had an additional two-meter-long giant peach wood sword inlaid with glass beads.

When the sunlight shines on it, it reflects off the surface.

Colorful

It blinded all the ghost soldiers on the city wall.

It seems that the design of this "mystic physics" is indeed too avant-garde.

"What...what kind of monster is that?"

At Yangping Pass, Zhang Wei, who was brandishing his sword and pretending to be a ghost, froze as he watched the golden platform slowly approach.

That green phosphorescent glow is incomparable; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a pitiful firefly.

"Master...it seems...the other side has also summoned a deity?"

A ghost soldier trembled as he put down the talisman in his hand, his eyes filled with wavering.

—They followed Zhang Wei to cultivate Taoism and learn magic, believing in the supernatural powers of the Five Pecks of Rice sect, but the formation opposite them was obviously much more intimidating than Zhang Wei's "magic".

Cao Zhang was currently in a state of extreme shame and extreme excitement.

Standing on the platform, I glanced at Zhao Yu, who was coordinating things in the back.

Zhao Yu saw Cao Zhang turn around.

She gave him an "OK" sign, indicating that they could begin.

"Zhang Wei is a heretic!!!"

"How dare you display your third-rate magic in this refined setting! You're just putting on a show, a fool trying to teach a fish to swim! Have no shame!!!"

The ghost soldiers on the city wall were so shocked that their ears were ringing.

Zhang Wei was furious. How dare you accuse me of faking it? He had cultivated Taoism for thirty years and had never seen anyone start a fight by arguing. This was outrageous! He pointed at Cao Zhang and yelled:

"Who are you, you fiend? I am the Chief Priest of the Five Pecks of Rice sect, appointed by Heaven to spread the Great Dao! You dare to impersonate a deity just because you wear a yellow robe!"

Cao Zhangqiang suppressed the smile on his lips and read the script given to him by Zhao Yu in a very pretentious manner.

"You're all blind!"

"I am Cao Ziwen, the reincarnation of the Thunder God of the Upper Realm, the younger brother of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, and the Great General Who Subdues Demons!"

"You mortals, using a few broken green flames to deceive the common people and obstruct the royal army! Today, I have come by the decree of the Nine Heavens to vanquish your evil spirits!"

"A reincarnation of the Thunder God?"

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears almost streamed down his face.

"Hahaha! How utterly ridiculous! Cao Mengde's son has actually become the God of Thunder?"

If you're the Thunder God, then I'm the Jade Emperor! Go ahead and strike me dead with a bolt of lightning if you dare!

"Come on! I want to see just how capable you are, you imposter Thunder God!"

"Everyone present heard it; it was him who said it."

"Then I will naturally grant your request."

Zhao Yuting, who was sitting in the audience, shook his head helplessly when he heard Zhang Wei's words. This was the first time he had ever seen such a request.

"Raise the flag."

Cao Zhang, standing on the stage, saw the red flag waving and knew that he had reached the crucial moment of "casting the spell".

He gripped the peach wood sword with both hands.

"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, heed my command!"

"One part saltpeter, two parts sulfur, three parts charcoal! Add a little sugar, and you have Ivan the Great!!!"

Then, he pointed his greatsword fiercely at the altar where Zhang Wei was, and with all his might, let out a roar.

"Thunder God—help me!!!"

One tenth of a second after the words were spoken.

Beneath the walls of Yangping Pass, in three rock crevices where Zhao Yu had buried himself.

They were ignited at the same time.

boom--------!!!!!!

A terrifyingly loud bang that ripped through eardrums and struck straight to the soul!

The earthenware jars filled with gunpowder exploded simultaneously, producing a tremendous echo.

Then a plume of white smoke shot into the sky.

It engulfed the area below the wall, filling Zhang Wei's altar with smoke and fumes.

To these ancient soldiers who had never witnessed a chemical reaction before, the white smoke, the loud noise, and the tremors were divine punishment!

"Heavenly lightning...it really is heavenly lightning..."

Zhang Wei lay prostrate beneath the altar, his mind blank.

How can you fight like this? It's like a college student fighting an elementary school student.

"The real god... that one over there is the real god!"

"Our magic is fake! It's just a trick! The gods are angry and will punish us!"

"Don't chop me! I'll never drink talisman water again!"

I will never again follow those charlatans and pretend to be a ghost!

I don't know which ghost soldier was the first to throw down his weapon.

Maybe it was Chen Da, maybe it was Zhao San, or maybe it was some fearful soldier.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The sounds of weapons hitting the ground were continuous.

Below the city walls, Zhao Yu pressed his advantage.

Holding a megaphone, pointing it at the screen, there was no murderous intent, only the kind of gentle smile of a cafeteria lady serving food (without trembling hands).

"Listen up, brothers who've been locked up!"

"The heavenly lightning only strikes empty ground; it is because the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden has the virtue of cherishing life that she is giving you one last chance!"

"Now, the people inside will open the city gates themselves!"

"Hands behind your heads, march out in two lines!"

"Surrender and you'll be spared! Whoever opens the door will be the hero! Each person will receive two cans of 'Spicy Beef' plus priority job placement in Hanzhong! We guarantee you'll never have to worry about food or clothing!"

If the acoustic explosion just now was primarily intended to destroy their reverence for the Five Pecks of Rice sect...

Zhao Yu's words were intended to break their last shred of will and to offer them a way out.

Caught between extreme fear and extreme desire, the Yangping Iron Gate and the strategic advantage became mere decorations.

If you ask Zhang Wei why he didn't stop them, well, forget it. He's a professor of human rights, and his authority is divinely granted. He suppressed us with his methods, so what could we do?

Several ghostly guards started fighting over who would be the "first to pull the bolt":

"Get out of the way! I opened this door! My canned beef!"

"Bullshit! I pulled the plug first! I want braised pork!"

"Squeak—"

The gate of Yangping Pass, which was known as "impregnable," was opened from the inside by its own people without any siege equipment being used.

the other side,

Taking advantage of the billowing dust, Zhang Wei disregarded his purple robe and eight-trigram ornaments, and trotted down from the altar. He then took a fast horse from his guard.

"Quick! Open the back door! Go back to Nanzheng!"

"Go and report to my elder brother! Cao Cao's army possesses sorcery! And they have meat! Hanzhong cannot be defended!"
