"It's time to rest. Your Majesty, I feel that I have inexhaustible strength all over my body, and now just wait for your order, my six legions can rush straight out and kill in Runan City. Dian Wei stood up with a smile on his face, with an excited expression on his face.

"Okay, just get some rest. As for war, there is a place for you. Come, now I will announce the command. Zhang Chao saw that his soldiers were sheng, and knew that it was time to launch a strong attack. He immediately ordered Dian Wei's Sixth Army Corps to face Han Dang on the left, Zhang Liao's Seventh Army Corps to attack Cheng Pu and his own First Army on the right to attack Runan City head-on, contain the opponent's forces At the same time, he also fought to close all the passages into Runan City, and he wanted to destroy the main army of Eastern Wu in one battle.

As soon as the military order was given, all the generals were ordered to leave. An hour and a half later, the Celestial Empire army began to slowly press towards Runan City.

Under the city tower, Zhou Yu looked at the Celestial Empire army that was getting closer and closer, and still laughed and said, "Your Highness, do you see it?" Yesterday's temptation plan did not succeed, and now Zhang Chao has changed to oppression with military might. ”

"I'm not afraid of oppression, I think my Eastern Wu army is strong, and I'm not afraid of them." Sun Ce also smiled, he relied on the advantage of the terrain, and he waited for work, unless the Celestial Empire army attacked all the troops, otherwise, he really had to be afraid of the other party.

It's a pity that Sun Ce really didn't guess that Zhang Chao was really ready to go up with the whole army. If he had known this, he would have invited Cheng Pu and Han Dang, two generals, to the city, so that he could concentrate all his forces on one point, and in this way, it would be much more difficult for the Celestial Empire army to capture Runan City, and the price would be much greater.

After all, the space in the city gate is still too small, even if the opponent's explosives and other powerful weapons open the way, but when the city is really sieged, it still needs to be fought by the army. As long as there are enough troops, the advantage still exists.

However, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu both thought that Zhang Chao would use tricks to break the city, and this preconceived idea could indeed kill people.

In the huge open space in front of Runan City, the black-clothed army of the Celestial Empire was getting closer and closer.

From a distance, it looks like a black mist, extremely thick.

The black-clothed army from afar did cause a lot of pressure on the soldiers of Eastern Wu, seeing that it seemed that countless enemies were approaching him step by step, and the footsteps of some timid people couldn't help but tremble a little, if it weren't for the fact that there were many companions around them, I am afraid that some people would be afraid of this pressure and turned back and fled.

With a loud and energetic horn, the army of the Celestial Empire set out, black as a pine forest all over the field.

This is the rhythm of the attack.

Just when the Celestial Empire army rushed out of the land that was five miles away from Runan City and four miles away from Runan City, all of a sudden, the Celestial Empire army drums and horns sounded, and the banners hunted and waved in the wind. The cavalry on both flanks of the army took the lead, and the soldiers of the Chinese army marched forward in a neat step, and the mountain city wall squad advanced, shouting "kill" every three steps, and it was actually calmly rumbling forward.

The cavalry on both sides were naturally Dian Wei's Sixth Army Corps and Zhang Liao's Seventh Army Corps, and they were ordered to rush towards Han Dang and Cheng Pu's army. The Middle Route Army was commanded by the deputy commander of the First Army Corps, who were the best at besieging and defending the city, step by step, neatly, looking from a distance with a strong momentum, like a mountain and a tsunami.

"What is this for?" Sun Ce, who was standing at the head of the city, was stunned at this moment, and he felt that this did not seem to be a tentative attack, but a little bit of a general attack.

At this moment, not only Sun Ce, but also Zhou Yu on the side were a little confused.

According to what he thought, the Celestial Empire army should first send an army to call for a battle to test the reality, but how did it come up and launch a general attack?

The so-called plan did not change quickly, and it was immediately seen that the army of the Celestial Empire was really going to launch a general attack, so Zhou Yu naturally immediately shouted: "Your Highness, please issue an order immediately, the soldiers will defend the whole army, and at the same time, please ask the two generals Cheng Pu and Han Dang to bring the main force into the city." ”

Zhou Yu had already thought that even if Zhang Chao wanted to win with the advantage of troops, then he had to concentrate the forces in his hands at one point, so that he could block the unstoppable army of the Celestial Empire.

Zhou Yu's reaction was very fast, but at this time, it was obviously too late to give the military order, because on the left and right flanks, the cavalry of the Celestial Empire was about to rush in front of the Eastern Wu army, and a big battle was inevitable.

Whether it was General Han Dang guarding the left and right, or General Cheng Pu guarding the right flank, at this moment they all knew that this was the rhythm of the Celestial Empire's army launching a general attack. At this moment, their faces naturally changed greatly, and at the same time, they shouted urgently, "Archer, archer, archer, let go of arrows, stop the enemy from approaching." The pikemen stepped forward to block the onslaught of the enemy's cavalry. ”

Because they didn't expect the Celestial Empire to come up and launch an attack, the two generals put the cavalry who were good at charging at the forefront, they originally thought that today would only be a small-scale battle, and they still wanted to go up and fight in the future.

Because he was not prepared, he saw the Heavenly Empire Iron Horse rushing straight forward, so he had a trace of panic.

The general gave the order, and the archers who were still resting in the back hurriedly brought their equipment and came over, but fortunately, the soldiers of Soochow were also well-trained, and the broadsword soldiers, halberd soldiers, shield bearers, pikemen, and cavalry immediately approached both sides and made a passage for the archers.

Once they reached the designated position, the archers of Soochow released the arrows in their hands, and they didn't care whether they could inflict heavy damage on the enemy or not, and they didn't care who they were targeting, because they knew that if it was too late, they were afraid that the enemy would rush in front of them.

People say that ten thousand arrows are fired at once, but now this place can indeed be described as a random arrow.

There is no command from the general, there is no hierarchy, the archers are just under inertia, drawing their swords from the quiver behind them and shooting.

The random arrows came at a small trouble for the Celestial Empire Iron Cavalry who were attacking, and some cavalry fell off their horses because they couldn't dodge the arrows. But it was only a small trouble, and there were still more cavalry rushing closer and closer, constantly waving their weapons in front of them, slashing down flying arrows.

"The archers retreated, the cavalry followed me, and the pikemen and halberders were broken." Seeing that the bow and arrow could not cause great damage to the enemy, Han Dang of the left army rushed over with his 30,000 cavalry.

In the Three Kingdoms era in history, there were not many cavalry because of economic reasons. However, because of the drive of the Celestial Empire, the economy has developed, and many vassal states have built horse farms and began to train cavalry, just like the Eastern Wu is also the same, although the development of horse farms is not long, but there is also a certain proportion, such as Han Dang's cavalry of 30,000 people.

It's just that it's the same cavalry, and there are too many differences between the two sides, both in terms of the quality of the horses and the equipment of the cavalry. Because of the late development of Eastern Wu, their cavalry can only be called ordinary cavalry, which is far from being comparable to the elite iron cavalry of the Celestial Empire.

Therefore, in the next step, when the cavalry of the two sides rushed together, this huge contrast became more and more obvious. Neither the speed nor the impact of the battlefield is on the same level. In addition, the cavalry of the Celestial Empire is already well-trained, whether it is a single soldier or a team battle, it has a tactical tactic, and the cavalry of Eastern Wu will not be an opponent.

Just a burst of immediate killing, 30,000 Han Dang cavalry, thousands of soldiers died.

Seeing this cruel result, Han Dang had to return with the rest of the cavalry, he just hoped that his pikemen and halberd soldiers would be able to contain the rushing Celestial Empire cavalry.

"Swing a big knife!" Seeing that after a round, the Eastern Wu cavalry fled, Dian Wei was willing to let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs, immediately chased after the horse, and took out the long broadsword he was equipped with, and swung towards the pikemen and halberd soldiers who had almost formed a defensive line in Eastern Wu.

Dian Wei's impact was very fast, coupled with the strength and fierceness, so that the original battle line of the Eastern Wu army soon collapsed, and finally had to disrupt the troops and start a melee. And such a melee was obviously advantageous to the cavalry, they were fast and condescending, and for a time the balance of victory was tilted in favor of the Sixth Army Corps.

Compared with Dian Wei's fierce attack, when Zhang Liao on the right faced Cheng Pu's army, he started a long-range bow and arrow attack from a long distance.

When it comes to equestrianism, Lu Bu's vanguard legion, Zhao Yun's dragon and tiger legion, or Ma Chao's dragon cavalry legion are all very strong. But when it comes to bows and arrows on horses, I'm afraid that in addition to the cavalry of the Zhang family, the Seventh Legion, which has the title of a different legion, is the most powerful.

In the process of fighting with the Xiongnu and Xianbei, Zhang Liao saw the threat and power of the bow and arrow immediately. For this reason, he attaches great importance to this aspect, and he is also inclined to train in ordinary times.

Now, the two sides are fighting, and the advantage of archery is completely highlighted.

Before the archers under Cheng Pu were fully formed, the cavalry of the Seventh Legion began to attack with bows and arrows, so that the Seventh Legion was completely pressing and fighting towards the Eastern Wu army.

Seeing the archers under his command, one after another being shot to the ground, Cheng Pu felt that his heart was bleeding, but there was really no better way, so he had to order the shield hand to resist forward, and at the same time retreat back with the army, he hoped to exchange space for time.

But no matter what, at the beginning of the war, the left and right flanks of the Soochow army showed an invincible state.

Compared with the side, the fiercest battle is still in the frontal siege battlefield.

Zhou Yu is worthy of the name of the Left Army Division, not only is he extremely wise, but he is also very disciplined when he commands the army to fight. Seeing that this was not a tentative attack by the Celestial Empire, but a general attack was launched, he also immediately deployed, and the number of archers in the city doubled, and in the face of the rushing Celestial Empire's first legion, he began to shoot frantically.
