Chapter 503 Wei Jun sends troops
Wei State, Guanzhong, Chencang Camp.
"Drive, drive, drive..."
The sound of urging horses echoed outside the camp, and not long after, a group of war horses galloped into the heavily guarded Wei State Chencang Camp.
Arriving before the Chinese army's tent, Wei Shen, the crown prince of Wei State, dismounted from his horse and handed the reins to the soldiers on the side.
Turning to look at Empress Du, the Crown Prince of Shu, Wei Shen raised his right hand and invited: "Brother, please!"
"Thank you, brother."
Empress Du took the lead and walked ahead, while Wei Shen and military advisor Gongsun Yang glanced at each other and walked into the big tent in front of them one after the other.
Wei Shen walked slowly to his position as commander, placed the long sword at his waist on the sword stand beside him, and then turned his eyes to the military advisor Gongsun Yang on the side.
"Military advisor, pass my order to the general and beat the drum..."
"Gather together!"
"Here."
Bowing to the general Wei Shen, Gongsun Yang walked slowly outside the tent, and the sound of heavy war drums became more and more exciting throughout the camp.
"Dong dong dong..."
Hearing the rumbling war drums that symbolized the coming of war, generals and captains came from all over the camp, gradually converging into a torrent flowing towards the Chinese army's tent.
"The general will wait to see the commander-in-chief."
Facing the figures standing in front of him, Wei Shen, as the leader of the army, slowly stood up from his seat, and his eyes quickly swept across every Wei army officer present.
Then his footsteps quietly changed direction and came to Du Hou, the prince of Shu who was sitting beside him.
"Everyone, this is the prince of Shu."
"The general will wait to see the prince."
After Wei Shen introduced his identity to everyone present, Empress Du also stood up from her seat.
Step by step, she came to the crowd, and Queen Du's face was filled with grief.
"The Kingdom of Shu was in trouble, and there were rebel ministers in the country who caused chaos, causing all life to be ruined."
"Fortunately, the Wei Dynasty extended a helping hand, and fortunately all of you were not afraid of the difficulties on the road and saved our country of Shu from water and fire."
"Empress Du is truly grateful. I would also like to ask you all to pay her respects."
After finishing her words, Empress Du bowed with great solemnity to all the Wei army officers present.
When Empress Du stood up slowly, Wei Shen took a step forward and stood beside him again.
When his eyes fell on the Wei Jun officer in front of him, Wei Shen's eyes also became extremely serious.
"Everyone, this time we, the Wei Dynasty, send troops to Shu, not to attack the city but to stabilize the Shu Kingdom."
"As long as I work together and work together, we will be able to succeed immediately."
After Wei Shen finished speaking, all the Wei army officers present stood up and said, "I am willing to listen to your orders."
Listening to the voice's response, Wei Shen sighed in his heart that his military spirit could be used, and Wei Shen nodded slightly.
Turning his eyes to the military advisor Gongsun Yang, Wei Shen said loudly: "Military advisor, all the planning and arrangements are made by the military advisor Lao."
"We must go all out." A look of solemnity appeared on Gongsun Yang's face, and he was already standing in front of the generals in three steps and two steps, "Everyone."
"At the request of the Crown Prince of Shu, our 50,000 officers and soldiers of the Wei Dynasty will escort the Crown Prince to Shu at the order of the King."
"Three days later, 10,000 pioneers will take the lead and head south along the Chencang Ancient Road to Hanzhong to clear the way and remove obstacles for the main force of the army."
After Gongsun Yang issued this order, several Wei army officers who were leading the vanguard stood up from their seats and said, "I will obey the military orders."
After a few people sat down, Gongsun Yang continued to arrange the campaign mission, "Five days after the vanguard departs, the prince will serve as the commander-in-chief, and I, as the military advisor, will lead the remaining 40,000 main troops from Chencang Camp to Hanzhong."
"The army's food, grass and baggage will go south along the Jialing River along the waterway, passing through the Tiandi Daze and turning into the Han River to reach Hanzhong."
…
After General Gongsun Yang mobilized the main force of the army and arranged all matters such as the transportation of grain, grass and baggage, his eyes quickly swept over all the Wei generals present.
"Our army will win this battle!"
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
…
Amidst the shouts of victory from all the generals in the field, Wei Jun, a giant war beast, soon showed its fangs.
Perhaps the Wei army's attack speed was too fast, or maybe the Shu army did not expect that the Wei army, which had not gone south for a long time, would take the initiative to attack...
In short, the main force of the 10,000 Wei army did not even encounter any threatening interception on the Chencang Ancient Road, and had already appeared at the core of Hanzhong, at the foot of Nanzheng City.
"Woo..."
When the war horn sounded outside Nanzheng City, the Shu guards who came in a hurry looked outside the city with only horror in their eyes.
"General, it's... Wei Jun!"
Although they have not really fought against their northern neighbors in these years, when they saw clearly the red military flags flying in the army formation outside the city, the Shu army on top of the Nanzheng city could not help but feel a little fear from the bottom of their hearts.
It is true that the reputation of the Wei army has been too great over the years. The Qin army, the Qi army, the Chu army and the Zhao army...
Countless famous and powerful soldiers in the world have fought against the Wei army, but without exception they all failed.
It can be said that the Wei army's reputation was truly gained by stepping on the corpses of its enemies one by one.
Facing almost the strongest opponent in the world, how could the soldiers of the Shu army on top of the city not tremble in their hearts.
That is to say, when these Shu army soldiers were worried, the Wei army formation outside the city had already begun to take action.
"Get ready!"
"put!"
Behind the phalanx, the improvised stone-emitting cart suddenly lifted up and launched heavy stone bullets toward Nanzheng City in the distance.
"Bang bang bang..."
The stone bullets hit the city wall, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to shake. They were bloody and bloody, and even shattered the defense line in the hearts of the Shu army soldiers.
The stone-shooting machines and crossbows were running continuously, destroying the already low morale of the Shu army officers and soldiers at the head of the city again and again.
After they recovered from the Wei army's long-range attack, the Shu army soldiers suddenly discovered that the Wei army's forward was about to arrive.
"Wei Jun is coming up!"
…
Shu Kingdom, Chengdu, in the palace of the King of Shu.
"boom!"
"We lost Nanzheng City in just three days. Are the guards of Nanzheng City useless?"

I lost it!"
When he received the battle report from the front line, Marquis Du Jiameng felt a ball of anger rising in his heart, as if his whole body was going to burn up.
These days, Du Jiameng has been exhausted mentally and physically from trying to suppress the chaos in Shu.
Now, within a short time of the Wei army moving south, the land of Hanzhong that he had worked so hard to manage was about to change hands, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.
On the side, seeing Du Jiameng's raging anger, his confidant generals, understanding the critical situation at hand, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"This time, tens of thousands of Wei troops marched southward with great momentum, and now they have reached the hinterland of Hanzhong."
"The Wei army is at its peak, and with the help of Crown Prince Du, your Majesty should treat it with caution."
After the general finished speaking, the furious Du Jiameng gradually calmed down due to the current severe situation.
Now is really not the time to be angry. The Wei army's offensive is so fast and violent, and he should deal with it carefully.
Once the main force of the Wei army arrived in Chengdu, he was determined not to let him go due to his old grudge and new feud with Crown Prince Du.
"How do you think you should respond?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, the general thinks that Jiameng Pass guards the main road from Hanzhong to Shu. Your Majesty, you can send heavy troops to guard it and block the Wei army from going south."
"When the war between the two sides reaches a stalemate and the Wei army comes from afar, it will be difficult to supply food and grass. Our army will win without a fight."
"So good."
A burst of joy appeared on his face, and Du Jiameng immediately ordered: "Pass my order to send an army of ten thousand to Jiameng Pass to garrison."
