On September 23, 1013, the Battle of Macheng officially began, and this battle was unexpected, this battle not only destroyed the team of Xiang Zuoding of Chu State, but also made a controversial figure in history Kong Ming really stepped onto the stage of history.

It has been two days since Kong Ming handed over that report, and there is still a calm in Macheng, and the Harvey army outside the city is still manufacturing their siege equipment, and there is no intention of attacking, and in the past two days, there will be a trace of news from Yingling Pass, proving that there is no Harvey army there, no matter what, Xiang Zuoding thinks that Kong Ming's intelligence is indeed an alarmist Zhu listened, and put forward words of reproach to Kong Ming several times, and finally, directly transferred Kong Ming to the third division of the cavalry army to serve as the commander of the third regiment, and there are 3,000 cavalry under the command of Kong Ming。 If cavalry is a kind of mobile and fast troops in the steppe, then they are a drag in disguise in this kind of mountainous terrain, because it is really useless except for a breakthrough at close range, especially in the city. After Kong Ming came to this regiment, the first thing Kong Ming did was not to say some empty words, nor to conquer the so-called hearts of the entire regiment, but to immediately let the whole regiment enter the highest state of combat readiness, horses can not leave the personnel more than ten meters, armor can not be taken off, and everyone must prepare ten days of dry food, because most of the people have space rings, although they are small, but it is more than enough to put more than ten days of dry food, among the five battalion commanders and a guard captain, there are two people because they see that Kong Ming is very young, and they promise to be very simple on the surface, but in fact, they are not seriously implemented, when Kong Ming inspected their battalion, They still don't have a feeling that a big war is coming, they are still doing their usual work step by step, the horses are still in the stables on the side, they are still a thin military uniform, a large pile of grain is piled up in the open space and no one moves, when Kong Ming criticizes them, they all shout directly at Kong Ming, without any respect, and the other battalion commanders and guard captains who followed Kong Ming to check are watching Kong Ming's jokes on the side, to be honest, they don't have any respect for Kong Ming's superiors, but the next moment, Kong Ming's actions made all of them feel Kong Ming's horror。 Two feet, Kong Ming just kicked each of them, and directly kicked the two intermediate sword masters directly disabled, and then, while everyone was still in a daze, he directly announced the well-known military discipline of the Chu army, and this hand directly shocked the henchmen of the two battalion commanders, and let the two deputy battalions take over their work, and said that they would come over to check later. Kong Ming's move directly made all the people who wanted to see the joke shut up, and all the people didn't expect that a staff officer like Kong Ming who came down from above would have such courage, and in their reflection, anyone who came down from above would generally not have such courage, because the character of the people above was relatively less murderous and resolute than those who tore up below, and they were relatively weak...... In any case, after Kong Ming directly abolished these two people, a qiē became smoother, and Kong Ming's instructions were directly implemented on everyone, and there was no nonsense on Kong Ming. And Kong Ming's superiors also turned a blind eye to Kong Ming's method, thinking that they had been instructed by Xiang Zuoding not to disturb Kong Ming's affairs. In this way, the team led by Kong Ming completed the preparation for retreat in a situation that no one could understand, after all, for Kong Ming, this is a battle that does not need to be thought about to know the ending, and there is nothing to fight.

In the past two days, in addition to arranging work and inspections, Kong Ming has been concentrating on looking at the map of the border between Chu and Yan, seeing clearly every mountain range, every river, every road, every residential area, every place occupied by demonic beasts, etc., Kong Ming wants to figure it out. At the same time, Kong Ming has to constantly assume where the Yan army will attack this Ma Cheng, where the 200,000 army, from where, and in that way to attack Ma Cheng to achieve the greatest effect, and once there are some accidents, what kind of means will be taken immediately to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, to put it bluntly, Kong Ming is now replacing himself in Pang Degang's position, referring to Pang Longye's previous battle examples, and trying to think about this battle in Pang Longye's way of thinking, only in this way can he get as close as possible to the actions of the side of this upcoming battle, and at the same time he substituted himself into the role of Xiang Zuoding in the same way, through a certain battle calculation to infer the course of this battle, grasp the vitality of it. But even so, Kong Ming still couldn't grasp the entire battle, because he was not Pang Longye and Xiang Zuoding after all, and there were many unpredictable accidents in the process of the battle, which would lead the battle to an unpredictable result. This inference is the first time that Kong Ming sees himself as a commander to infer a battle, and it is also the first time that Kong Ming considers this kind of problem in this way, and in a way, this is also the most important sublimation of Kong Ming's military career, because from now on, he will no longer be the warrior who has been charging ahead, only knowing that he can let his body and instinct act, he will really become a commander, this is a real beginning.

Kong Ming looked at the map on the ground with tired eyes, and kept thinking in his heart, if there is no accident, the army of the Harvey Empire will attack Macheng in these two days, and the time should be before dawn. Because only at that time, most people will be asleep, and when they are attacked, it is also the most difficult time to gather, this kind of opportunity is what all people want to grasp the most, because only in this way can the battle loss rate of a battle be minimized. Kong Ming sighed, and couldn't help but think in his heart, it would be good if he was still next to Xiang Zuoding, with the guarantee of intelligence, even false information can explain some problems, and it will not be like now, speculating out of thin air and spending a lot of effort to do this kind of thing. The battle will start on these two days. Looking at it, Kong Ming fell asleep against the wall. Today is September 23, 1013.

Pang Longye stood five kilometers away from the east gate of Macheng, watching the troops under his command slowly move towards Macheng, the people in front of him were all swordsmen or knights who were cultivating above the third level, but now all the people were on foot, and they used their fighting spirit to clear the footsteps, and the magician used the levitation technique of the pre-made zuò to follow behind, in order to make the attack achieve the maximum suddenness, and the outbreak of an attack made the enemy powerless, Pang Longye asked a holy demon master to specially make a large-scale screen sound enchantment magic scroll, and now all the forwards are shrouded in the enchantment, and the sound will not come out a little, Even if there is thunder inside, and he put five sword saints and two holy demon masters in the striker, and the other magicians also brought a lot of seventh-level magic scrolls made by the holy demon master, Pang Longye let them release eighty percent of their energy in the first attack, only in this way can they break through the first line of defense of the Chu army in one fell swoop, causing the greatest damage to the Chu army, and also through guò This attack, so that the forward can not hold an effective counterattack when the Chu army is defenseless, in this case, the Chu army is a lamb, not an army。 Thinking that this time the plan had been so successful until now, Pang Longye's heart couldn't help but feel relaxed. For this battle, he used the 200,000 army to pass a small road in advance, and attacked Yingling Pass with the cooperation of Neiying, and used Neiying to create a false impression that Yingling Pass was still in the hands of the Chu army to Xiang Zuoding, paralyzing the Chu army, and then, urgently returning to the army Macheng, attacking Macheng on the east and west sides, so that the 100,000 troops in the city were completely annihilated, as long as this plan is realized, then he will be able to set foot on the plain of Chu through Guò Yingling Pass, fight down, and defeat Chu. Now, as long as the Chu army in Macheng is completely annihilated, then the dream of the Harvey Empire for hundreds of years will be realized, and he Pang Longye will also be famous for thousands of years, just today.

At this time, Xiang Zuoding was standing on the balcony outside his room wearing a shirt, which was the highest place in the city, and he could see the three walls of the east and west of the horse city he had faced. He just woke up from a nightmare, in the dream, he was chased by an unknown monster, he had more than once stopped to fight with the monster, but no matter how he fought, he couldn't beat that monster, in the running all the way, there were also some subordinates to stop the action of the monster, but without exception were torn to pieces, and his body was also scarred, finally, he was forced to a corner by the monster, at that helpless time, the monster claws directly slapped at him, looking at the invincible giant palm, he was completely desperate, fortunately at this time, he woke up。 I couldn't sleep anymore, so I walked out, blew the wind, and woke up. There was less than an hour before dawn, and the wind in early autumn was already a little cool, which made Xiang Zuoding wake up a little, thinking about that nightmare, and threw it to that place at once, his mood was much better, he shook his head, and looked to the east, at this time, the nightmare of his life finally happened, and he saw a scene that he could never forget for the rest of his life. In the sky of the eastern city wall, a large area of fiery red color suddenly appeared, which was mixed with some earthy yellow in it, as an experienced general, even if he is not a magician, but some basic knowledge of magic is still very clear, judging from these magic colors and fluctuations, this is the superposition of several eighth-level magic, of which fire magic accounts for the majority, and there is at least one earth magic, his face immediately changed, and his mouth muttered: "Meteorite falling from the sky, the sky falling apart! Meteorites fall from the sky, the heavens and the earth cracks! Oh my God, Macheng is finished, and Chu is finished......". His hand gripped the railing tightly, and cold sweat continued to flow down.

At half past four o'clock in the morning on September 23, 1013, this is a time that all the Chu people in this battle will never forget again, above the sky of the eastern city wall, the fiery red mixed with some yellow magic, falling from the sky, thousands of fiery red boulders, coming down from the sky like rain, smashing on the ground, the city wall, The houses were all smashed down, turned into piles of stones or mounds, and on the side of the east gate, a few ground splitting techniques directly demolished the city wall, more than thirty seconds, the entire east city near the house and the city wall all turned into a ruin, defending this area of the soil most of the dead, under the attack of the forbidden spell, the unprotected and unguarded swordsmen are like cabbage to let people fish, only a dozen great swordsmen and the two sword saints, because of long-term experience, they instantly opened the protective shield and escaped the scourge of killing, but it is also quite a wolf bèi。 And several of those great swordsmen have suffered a lot of damage, although those eighth-level magic is a face kill, for a certain place a magic is limited, but the superposition of several magic is different, just think about it, only people above the level of the great swordsman survived, so can the other people survive, there are many people with different types of protective magic equipment because of the superposition of several magic to destroy the protection on their bodies. Thirty seconds later, the magic stopped, and tens of meters of dust rose in the area around the east gate, covering the entire area inside, and even those at the Sword Saint level could not see through this piece of dust.
