7th year of the Warring States period, July 27.

Morning.

The weather on this day was not very good, the sky was overcast, dark clouds condensed, and drizzle fell.

In this weather, the camp on the outskirts of Jinling City, on a spacious and endless plain school field, the soldiers and horses of the Wu army from all parties participating in the western expedition to Shu gathered this time.

The swearing-in ceremony of the Western Expedition is about to be held.

In the gentle wind and drizzle, the soldiers of Dawu lined up in formation, the front was a phalanx, and the back was a column formation.

In the center is the mighty cavalry, and on the left and right are the foot soldiers of the true qi, with the high platform as the center, and the square circle of the team stretches for several miles, and the head is black.

There is a high platform in the center of the school field, a circular staircase, up to three zhang, at the top of the high platform, a golden dragon battle flag representing the Great Wu royal family flies in the wind and rain, hunting sounds.

And under the high platform, in four directions, in front of each military formation, different battle flags are flying.

Due south is the blood tiger battle flag representing the Jiangdong Army.

Due east, there is the Raging Lion Battle Banner representing the Furious Lion Army, and the Blazing Battle Banner representing the Flame Army.

Due west, it is the Flying Eagle Battle Flag representing the Sea Eagle Army and the Flying Tiger Battle Flag representing the Flying Tiger Army.

Due north, is the elephant battle flag representing the war elephant army, and the blood wolf battle flag representing the blood wolf army.

The seven battalions of Dawu gathered together, and each battle flag represented a military soul, blooming in their own majestic style belonging to the Dawu military.

This time, there were as many as 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Wu army who swore to march westward, and the seven major military camps under the Military Aircraft Department all sent a certain number of soldiers and horses to participate in the swearing-in ceremony.

Their establishments are: the cavalry regiment directly under the Flying Tiger Army, the war elephant regiment directly under the War Elephant Army, and the strong crossbow regiment directly under the Blood Wolf Army.

Although the main forces of these three legions did not participate in the oath, for this great battle of the Western Expedition, they all sent some of the most elite soldiers and horses under their command to express their intentions for the Western Expedition.

And then there is. The Jiangdong Army was directly subordinate to the White Horse Righteous Servant, the Overlord Iron Cavalry, the first to enter the camp, and the four main regiments of the trapping camp.

This is a special forces regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Wu army, the White Horse Yicong and the Overlord Iron Cavalry are the elite cavalry, and the first battalion is the charioteer. Trapped in the camp heavy armor regiment.

This time, the main force of the oath was naturally the Jiangdong Army, the 1st Division of the Forbidden Army and the 2nd Division of the Forbidden Army of the Praetorian Guard under the command of the Jiangdong Battalion, the 2nd Division of the West and the 3rd Division of the Western Army, the 1st Division of the South Army, the 2nd Division of the Northern Army, and the 3rd Division of the North.

There were 12 divisions in the Jiangdong battalion, and only the 1st Division in the West, the 1st Division in the North and the two regiments of the Forbidden Army were left behind, and all the others were dispatched.

In addition to the Jiangdong Army, the other Flame Army's Flame 1st Division and Flame 3rd Division. The Sea Eagle Army's Sea Eagle 3rd Division, the Lion Army's 3rd Division, the Lion 4th Division, the 5th Lion Division, and the 6th Lion Division.

The army participating in the oath has a total of 14 main divisions, seven main regiments, and more than 160,000 soldiers and horses.

If you add the Flying Tiger Army and the War Elephant Army, which have now opened the front line. This time, Sun Quan used at least nearly 400,000 troops.

It can be regarded as half of the soldiers and horses under the entire military establishment of Dawu.

Such an atmospheric and magnificent oath scene made countless Jinling people excited. Even though the weather was not good today, it was rainy, but it did not hinder their fiery mood.

Outside the school grounds, there were layers of people watching the ceremony, and a pair of eyes were staring at the good sons and daughters of the Dawu military.

It was a quarter of the hour (about 9:15 a.m.).

The wind and rain are getting stronger.

In the wind and rain, every soldier of the Wu army on the school field stood straight and was not affected in the slightest. A pair of eyes full of fighting spirit and momentum.

At this time, Sun Quan, the monarch of Great Wu, held a white tiger war spear in his hand and a pair of brilliant Xuanwu battle armor on his body. Behind him is a bright red Suzaku cloak, majestically walking on the high platform.

He stood tall step by step, his amber eyes facing the hundreds of thousands of Wu Erlang in the audience.

"I, Great Wu Sun Zhongmou!"

At this moment, Sun Quan's mood was proud and excited, he raised the white tiger war spear in his hand, the tip of the spear was in the sky, facing all the soldiers, loud and loud, and the sound vibrated for nine days.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and soldiers standing in the audience stared at Sun Quan's figure, and their unified movements bowed their heads, roaring loudly, and the sound waves were unified, converging in the high air and constantly reverberating.

This momentum made no one retreat for three miles, and even made the entire Jinling City shake.

"Liu Bei of Shu State, kill my father and emperor, this is the humiliation of Dawu, this humiliation can only be washed with blood, although I don't want to be ruined, but this hatred is not shared with the sky, now I move the army of Dawu millions, I am willing to take the lead in the soldiers, enter Shu to destroy Liu ......"

Sun Quan's eyes stared at the soldiers, and his voice was loud and loud, singing passionately, entering people's ears and touching people's hearts.

Ordinary people's hatred for killing their father is a family hatred, but Sun Jian is the founding monarch of Great Wu, so Sun Quan's family hatred is a national hatred.

The so-called national hatred, everyone hates it, every soldier of Dawu is a bloody man, and Sun Jian's death in battle is a shame for the entire Dawu.

A dignified monarch was shot and killed on the battlefield, which was the incompetence of the military son, and none of the soldiers of the Wu army forgot this shame.

Now that Sun Quan is under this banner, it is more useful than opening up territory, and it has aroused the morale of all his soldiers in an instant.

"I swear here today that I will not break Chengdu, will not destroy Shu, and swear not to return to the dynasty!"

After Sun Quan finished speaking, he directly raised his gun and shouted, and an incomparably firm determination appeared on his handsome face.

"If you don't break Chengdu, you won't destroy Shu, and you won't return to the dynasty!"

"If you don't break Chengdu, you won't destroy Shu, and you won't return to the dynasty!"

“……”

The morale of hundreds of thousands of soldiers was driven by Sun Quan's voice, and he kept repeating the long shouts, and the voice continued to echo between heaven and earth, and could not be dissipated for a long time.

"Sons, let's go to camp!"

Sun Quan didn't say much, swearing, what he wanted was a morale, now that the morale has risen, while the iron is hot, he jumped down, jumped off the high platform, and his body landed firmly on the back of his own horse and lion dragon.

The excited lion dragon fierce horse seemed to have also felt the scene of tens of thousands of war horses, lying on Sun Quan, with a long roar, leaping and moving.

Behind Sun Quan, the first to follow was Bai Ma Yicong. Then there is the overlord iron cavalry, the first to the camp, the camp, the forbidden army, the northern army, the western army. ...... of the Southern Army

The neat queue formed a ten-mile long dragon, which set off in the direction of the west in the sight of the people of Jinling.

At this moment, on a city head in Jinling City, Pan Feng, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong saw off the civil and military ministers, standing side by side for three days, looking at the gradually disappearing back in the distance.

"If you win this battle. Da Wu can set the world! Zhang Zhao's eyes carried a hint of hope.

The First Battle of the Western Expedition was a key battle for Great Wu to unify the world in the future, and this battle was won, and the world that Great Wu now occupies is enough to surround the entire Cao Wei, and victory is in sight.

"This battle will be won!"

Pan Feng is relatively much simpler to speak, confident and arrogant: "Da Wu Bingfeng, who can stop you!" ”

Zhang Hong smiled and said, "Fighting is Your Majesty's business. What we have to do now is to make sure that Your Majesty has no worries. I can say that at this juncture, the Imperial Observatory will not have any mercy! ”

——————————————————

The march of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses was very slow, and it was only a march of dozens of miles every day, when the main force of soldiers and horses resisted Peicheng. It's already mid-August.

Since Peicheng was taken by Lü Meng, it began to continuously garrison the soldiers and horses of the Flying Tiger Battalion, and became a bridgehead between the Western Expeditionary Army and the Xichuan Pass.

It was also the general command post of the Western Expeditionary Army.

When Sun Quan led the main army to Peicheng, there was already a gathering of the middle and right sides of the Western Expedition. All the commanders of the Left Third Army.

Lu Bu, the chief general of the Chinese army, Sun Ce, the chief general of the right army, and Xu Sheng, the chief general of the left army, led the generals under their command to meet Sun Quan's soldiers and horses ten miles away.

"The last general will wait to see Your Majesty!" When Sun Quan's golden dragon battle flag appeared, the generals hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted.

"On the battlefield, the generals don't need to be polite, let's be flat!"

The left and right queues of the vanguard of the army divided into one road, Sun Quan rode the lion dragon, walked up step by step, swept his eyes over the soldiers, stretched out his left hand, and slightly weakly supported.

"No!"

The generals stood up, Lu Bu came up directly, faced Sun Quan, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, now that the camp outside the city has been set up, the army must have been tired after a long run, so take a little rest!" ”

"Hmm!" Sun Quan nodded in approval.

He has been in the deep palace for a long time, although his martial arts have not fallen, but under the long-distance march, he still feels much worse than before, and he feels a little tired.

On the same day, the main army converged with the main force of the Flying Tiger Army in Peicheng, forming hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to press on Peicheng and camp in the plains on the outskirts of Peicheng.

With hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, the small Peicheng naturally couldn't settle down, but the commander-in-chief battalion of the Western Expeditionary Army was stationed in a school field in Peicheng.

A day later, Sun Quan rested beautifully, his spirit was sufficient, and now hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are pressed here, and the grain and grass consumed every day are sky-high, so naturally he can't delay, and he immediately began to hold a wartime conference of the Western Expeditionary Army.

Peicheng East Campus, in a big tent.

Sun Quan is in the first place, the main general Lu Bu is in the second position, on the left is Sun Ce, the chief general of the Right Route Army, on the right is Xu Sheng, the chief of the Left Route Army, Lu Bu is next to Xu Shu, the director of the General Staff Department, Sun Ce is Chen Gong, and Xu Sheng, the staff officer of the Left Route Army is the Jiaozhou Jiangwutang sacrifice wine Huang Gai who temporarily participated.

The commanders of the divisions of the Western Expeditionary Army sat in the left and right positions under the commander-in-chief.

"Who will tell me about the current military situation in Xichuan?" Sun Quan's gaze swept over the generals and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is here to solve your Majesty's doubts!"

Xu Shu stood up, he had already arrived in Peicheng in July, and with the cooperation of Jinyiwei, he had a thorough understanding of the entire Shu army's troops and horses.

"Your Majesty, the Shu army has laid a very strong defense line in the two passes of Pujia Pass and White Emperor City!"

Xu Shu asked the soldiers to push out a newly made terrain sand table, and then analyzed to the generals: "The White Emperor City guards the Yangtze River waterway to block our naval army from entering Sichuan, and the main commander who leads the troops to guard the White Emperor City is Zhang Ren, the deputy general is Zhang Fei, and there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"Zhang Ren and Zhang Fei?"

Sun Quan smiled coldly: "This match is absolutely amazing, Liu Bei is really cautious, and he wants to use Zhang Ren, if he doesn't trust Zhang Ren, he is not afraid of capsizing!" ”

"Your Majesty, we can't deny one thing, Zhang Ren is indeed a big trouble for us!" Xu Shu said: "If he sticks to the White Emperor City, even if our right army can break the city, we will have to pay heavy casualties!" ”

"The White Emperor City is not easy to break, so let's talk about Pujia Pass first!" Sun Quan said in a deep voice.

The White Emperor City is behind the Pujia Pass, not far apart, plus the Bajun City, it is equal to the triangular defense, the White Emperor City guards the waterway, the Pujia Pass guards the land route, and the Bajun City is the rear.

After breaking the White Emperor City, the Pujia Pass was attacked on the back of the abdomen, and after breaking the Pujia Pass, the White Emperor City faced siege and killing.

"No!"

Xu Shu nodded, pointed to the terrain of the sand table, and said: "Pujia Pass is the gateway to Xichuan, the first pass of Shu Kingdom, which is more dangerous than the Jiange Road in the north. (To be continued.) )
