Woo~
Accompanied by the powerful sound of the horn, the city gate of Hanhai Pass opened little by little under the push of a huge winch.
Since the establishment of this fortress guarding the Great Liang and Great Yan border passes, the main gate has been opened very rarely. In the past, most of the time, only a auxiliary gate was opened for the passage of business travelers.
But today is obviously a special day.
When the cast iron doors weighing tens of thousands of kilograms on both sides were completely opened, the heavily armed New Hanhai Army came out in formation, like a mighty torrent heading west.
"Get out of the jam! Get out of the jam!"
The loud slogans spread everywhere
Wang Chen stood on the high city wall, overlooking the mighty and majestic army coming out of the city with Wu Zhao beside him.
For hundreds of years, no matter how the relations between the two countries have been ups and downs, the Great Liang army has never set foot in the Yan Kingdom's territory.
The reasons are complex.
On the one hand, the Emperor of Liang of the past dynasties had no ambition to continue to expand their territories westward, nor did they intend to expend national power for this purpose.
Secondly, the strength of Great Yan is almost the same as that of Great Liang. Once a war breaks out between the two sides, it will only be in vain to benefit the powerful northern country Great Qi.
Therefore, over the years, Great Liang and Great Yan have maintained a high degree of tacit understanding, and they have not violated each other and even entered into a marriage alliance.
However, due to the fall of Emperor Shaowu and the successful usurpation of Emperor Yuanjing, Great Liang fell into civil strife. In order to take the initiative, Great Yan sent an army to attack Hanhai Pass.
The result was a humiliating defeat.
But the biggest loss in this defeat was the three sixth-tier Martial Venerable. The main force of the Yan Army was not weakened in any way.
After two years, they are making a comeback!
It's just that today is different from the past. After receiving the intelligence from the Yan Kingdom, Wang Chen and Wu Zhao discussed and decided to complete their work and take the initiative to fight Yan Army to completely solve the trouble from the west.
A Western Liang Legion consisting of 30,000 New Hanhai Army and 50,000 Divine Machine Army, plus a large number of auxiliary troops, has officially taken the first step to conquer the world!
When all the troops left the city, Wang Chen turned to Wu Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, wait for my victorious return!"
"Yeah!"
Wu Zhao nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with tears.
She believed that Wang Chen would be able to lead Xiliang Army to defeat Yan Army, but she was so excited at this moment that she couldn't control herself.
An impulse arose in her heart, causing Her Royal Highness the Queen to throw herself into Wang Chen's arms regardless of the surrounding escorts and maids. "Master!"
Wang Chen's generous and warm embrace made her feel like she had returned to the past.
Wang Chen was stunned for a moment, then gently stroked her black hair and said with a smile, "You have grown up."
Wu Zhao sniffed and reluctantly left Wang Chen's arms.
Wang Chen reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, then jumped high into the air, unfolded Formless Wings and flew forward.
This battle was related to West Liang's national destiny, so he personally led the army.
Hanhai Pass Countless soldiers inside and outside witnessed this scene, and they all let out earth-shattering cheers!
In the past few years, West Liang has become increasingly powerful, and Wang Chen's prestige not only did not fade as he retreated behind the scenes, but became even more powerful, engraved in the hearts of millions of soldiers and civilians in Hanhai Commandery and West Sea counties.
Everyone believes that under his command, Xiliang Army will be invincible!
"Forward! Forward! Forward!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Xiliang Army's morale reached its peak, and he stepped on the foreign land with great pride.
At this time, Wang Chen, who had arrived at the Chinese army, called many generals together, pointed at the map hanging on the carriage frame and said, "Within three days, I will capture Dongwang City!"
Dongwang City is the easternmost city of the Yan Kingdom, only thirty miles away from Hanhai Pass.
This city was built to cope with the existence of Hanhai Pass, and to provide backup and logistical support to the Fa Liang army. Later, it became a transit point for business travelers.
It is the eastern outpost of Great Yan. Not only is the city very strong, but it is also garrisoned with an elite army.
Three years ago, eighty thousand Liang Army went out to capture Dongwang City. It would have been impossible even if given a year and a half, let alone three days.
But now the Xiliang Army generals looked at each other and saluted in unison. "Obey the order!"
They really have such confidence!
One hundred thousand Xiliang Army, including the auxiliary troops, opened up a long marching formation on the plains outside the pass with great fanfare and made no attempt to conceal their own actions.
Divine Machine Army In the column, packhorses pulled the artillery carriages, and the dark black cannon bodies shone with the unique light of metal.
These field guns are already updated products. They are made of better materials and higher craftsmanship, and are equipped with a variety of ammunition. Their power has long been different from the same.
And every Divine Machine Army soldier is equipped with long guns, hand guns and bayonets, all of them are armed to the teeth!
As for the thirty thousand New Hanhai Army, they are all cavalry, including a heavy armored cavalry of five thousand people.
As the advancing queue unfolded, a Qingqi scout stepped out of the formation, cruising within a radius of dozens of miles to search for the enemy.
Suddenly, a shrill cry of an eagle was heard from high in the sky, and a goshawk was seen circling back and forth above Xiliang Army, emitting a sharp cry from time to time.
Wang Chen, who was sitting in the center of the army, looked up. The index and middle fingers of his right hand came together to form Sword Finger, pointing to the goshawk in the sky.
puff!
The goshawk instantly exploded into a ball of blood mist, and countless feather fragments fell down one after another.
And this was just an insignificant episode in the march of the West Liang army. They arrived at the Yan Kingdom Dongwang City without encountering any obstacles.
Five miles away from the city wall, Xiliang Army camped to rest.
At this moment, the Yan Kingdom city has closed its gates and is in a ready posture. There are also cannons set up on the city walls.
These cannons have never appeared in Dongwang City before, and they were suddenly set up until the arrival of the Xiliang Army today. Yan Kingdom has obviously been planning for a long time and has already prepared to attack Korean Customs again.
But they obviously didn't expect that this time it was West Liang's turn to take the initiative!
This is actually quite unbelievable. After all, it is much easier for the Xiliang Army to defend Hanhai Commandery than to attack Dongwang City. Dongwang City was also caught off guard. Many defensive measures were obviously taken at the last moment, and they were crude and chaotic.
"Master Imperial Master!"
A personal guard came over and reported, "Dongwang City has just sent an envoy and wants to see you."
"Missing."
Wang Chen replied decisively, "Tell them that they only have three hours to decide whether to surrender or not!"
At this point, negotiations are pointless.
The opponent has only two choices, either kneel down or die in battle!
Three hours passed quickly, and no lowering flag was raised on the Dongwang City wall.
This was completely expected by Wang Chen. He ordered, "Siege the city!"
