I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 323 The decisive battle between the main forces in Guanzhong
Jiang Wei immediately began to mobilize his troops without any delay.

In the barracks outside Chencang City, the Han army began to take action. They brought their own armor and weapons and moved in an orderly manner under the orders of the commander.

The first to go out in formation were the crossbowmen and heavy infantry. They wanted to form a defense on the front line to prevent Wei cavalry from raiding.

Followed by archers, light infantry, and Han cavalry.

In addition to all the troops in the barracks being dispatched, two-thirds of the troops in Chencang City were also dispatched.

Groups of Han troops trotted out of the city in neat steps, followed the commander, and headed for their camps.

Dust was rising in front, and the sound of footsteps was like ocean waves.

Jiang Wei stood at the top of the city, squinting his eyes and looking ahead.

To the north of the Weihe River, large black outlines were surging towards this side. They covered the plain area between the north bank of the Weihe River and Qishan Mountain.

It's like a vast ocean coming towards this side.

You know, the depth of a single aspect may reach seven or eight miles, and the horizontal arrangement may even reach ten miles.

After an unknown period of time, the Han army's forwards had advanced the battle line six miles away from the city wall, where they met the Wei army's forwards.

"I understand." Jiang Wei responded and immediately walked under the tower.

The swords and guns are like forests, and the armor is like the sea.

It was as if the entire Wei River was trembling under the footsteps of Wei Jun.

This is a very large-scale battle.

When the sun rises, it looks like a torrent of metal surging layer by layer, as if it can shake the Qishan Mountains in the north and flatten the ground beneath its feet.

The predecessor of this cavalry was Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

If the Han army does not seize the front line, the Wei army will seize it, and then compress the Han army at the foot of the city and inside the city.

Moreover, this kind of battle requires extremely high abilities from the leaders of both sides.

Such a battlefield layout requires tens of thousands of people to be controlled and move in an orderly manner, which is also a great test for the army.

Including the army's execution ability, intelligence capabilities, its own combat capabilities, and finally the general's psychological endurance and on-the-spot adaptability.

"General, our latest detection is that the Wei army has mobilized tens of thousands of troops to Beiyuan City and Xincheng respectively, and has entered the defense line of our army."

In ancient times, a confrontation between an army of 10,000 and an army of 10,000 was already a battle between large armies.

There were more and more Han troops under the city, and the military formation at the front moved forward and began to seize the depth of the position.

The two sides tacitly agreed not to attack each other, but formed separate formations to defend the main force that followed.

Now only on the main battlefront of Chencang, both sides have mobilized 60,000 to 70,000 troops each.

Viewed from a high altitude, the armies of both sides were like dense ant colonies, gathering separately on the wide flat land, forming a huge depth.

The Wei army in the north has taken the lead in entering the Beiyuan City area north of Chencang and advancing towards Beiyuan City.

Between the northern and southern armies were the cavalry of Cao Wei's central army, all covered in the finest armor.

Jiang Wei had been fighting for so many years, and this was the first time he saw such a large army.

They were in great military appearance, arrayed like dragons, and mighty, like a dazzling giant in the boundless army.

They were faster than the main force and were approaching the northeast corner of Chencang City, intending to seize the position there.

If the scouts find a flaw in the Han army, they will launch the most rapid attack on two fronts, attack the weakest point of the Han army, rush into the Han army's formation, and win the prerequisites for victory.

But the general of the Han army was obviously not a vegetarian, and had already arranged troops and horses in the northeast corner.

After the infantry arrived at the position, they spread out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It can be seen that both sides are extremely capable of action.

"Commander, the forwards of the center of the Shu army have formed a formation!" "Commander, the left army of the Shu army has formed a formation!"

"Captain, the right army of the Shu Army has formed its formation!"

Guo Huai looked up at the seemingly small city under the canopy in front of him, and just nodded lightly and said: "Even if you seize the opportunity, it will not be easy to seize the position in Jiang Wei's hands!"

"Report! Commander, our army's right wing has arrived at Beiyuan City! We have seized a favorable position!"

"Report! Commander, our front troops have penetrated deep into the new city! They have seized a favorable position!"

"Pass my order and attack!" Guo Huai said calmly, "As expected, Beiyuan City and Xincheng have now learned that Zhuge Liang is seriously ill. In this game, let's win two steps first and see how Jiang Wei breaks the game!"

His military orders were quickly transmitted to Beiyuan City and Xincheng.

Among them, the Wei army in Beiyuan City pushed large carts to the outside of Beiyuan City, and then began to form heavy artillery!
"Quick! I only give you one stick of incense time!"

The soldiers of the Wei army began to shout slogans loudly, and under the operation of the craftsmen accompanying the army, they assembled huge heavy artillery pieces.

Zhang Yi, the defender of Beiyuan City, immediately mobilized the most elite forwards out of the city, intending to defeat a group of Wei troops and seize part of the position back.

"Report! General, something serious has happened!" Zhao Ming, who joined the army, hurried over. "There is news in the city that the Prime Minister is seriously ill. Some people even say that the Prime Minister has died! The morale of the army is unstable! The morale of the soldiers is low!"

Zhang Yi's face suddenly hardened: "Who dares to shake the morale of our military?"

"I don't know who it is. I'm afraid it was done by Wei Jun. There's no way to verify it!"

Zhang Yi just hesitated for a moment and quickly ordered: "Withdraw all the front troops and prepare to defend the city!"

By the time Guo Huai's main force was all lined up outside Chencang, the Wei army under Beiyuan City had also set up their heavy artillery.

A total of thirty heavy artillery pieces.

It is almost a copy of the Han army's heavy artillery, adding a gravity-induced elastic device to the original trebuchet.

Following the order given by the Wei army officer, dozens of stone cannons weighing a hundred kilograms drew arcs in the air and smashed towards Beiyuan City.

Zhang Yi looked up and his expression suddenly changed: "No! The enemy has heavy artillery!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy artillery was already coming.

Although the first one hit the city wall, the second one hit the top of the city, hitting a Han soldier.

The soldier's head exploded like a ripe watermelon, and his body looked like rotten wood. The stone cannon with huge momentum seemed to just float lightly over his body, but it brought up a large piece of flesh and blood.

Then plowed a trail of blood through the crowd.

The soldiers standing under the city looked up when they heard the sound. In addition to seeing stone cannons flying down, they also saw pieces of meat and blood raining down.

The minced meat dripped on the face, still warm.

After the stone cannon flew down, three more people were killed.

The surrounding Han troops immediately retreated and were knocked down.

By the time he reacted, more than a dozen of them had already crossed the city wall and hit the city.

Boom boom boom...

Seven or eight of them hit the roof, smashing through the roof and crushing objects in the house, making bursts of roaring sounds.

Seven or eight more were smashed on the street.

Some hit the ground, creating a shallow crater and raising large amounts of dust.

Another two smashed into the crowd, jumping a few times in the crowd before stopping, leaving behind a small piece of fuzzy flesh and blood.

"Get down quickly!" Zhang Yi said.

He did not expect that the battle situation in Beiyuan City would enter this situation in an instant.
