I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true!"

Behind him, a group of civil officials also bowed.

When Yan Fuyao came this time, he brought many young civil servants with him.

These civil servants are well-read and knowledgeable, and each of them is talented, but they have more theory than practice, and can only talk big but harm the country.

So this time Yan Fuyao took them to visit various places in Dayan to understand the local customs and folkways, and then took them to see the battlefield to see what real bloody fighting was like.

Yan Fuyao even planned to let them clean up the battlefield together after the battle, to see the dead bodies and the sea of ​​blood.

These are all experiences.

Those young civil servants were also greatly shocked when they saw the endless sight of weapons and horses before them.

Some people even took out the paper and pen they carried with them, waved their hands, and started writing poetry.

It was here that battlefield poems that have been passed down through the ages were created.

Soon, a large flag with the words "Lanling" written on it came from the front. Shen Changgong, dressed in silver armor, with an iron mask hanging on his chest and two scimitars slung around his waist, came riding on horseback.

Shen Changgong came to the top of the city wall, looked up, and shouted to the empress,

"Your Majesty! The enemy troops have assembled and are heading towards us.

The Qian army and the Chu army each sent out 300,000 troops, intending to attack our army!

Please, His Majesty, give orders to allow our army to meet the enemy in battle!"

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Yan Fuyao's lips.

Even at this time, this little man still wanted to save her face and let her, the emperor, give the order.

The Queen of Dayan gave the order in a deep voice,

"Convey my decree, warriors of Dayan, march out with all your forces, slay the enemy, and strengthen our nation's prestige!"

As the empress gave the order in a domineering manner, the drums on the city walls began to beat.

The sound of iron drums on the city walls is still resounding, and the blood on the golden sword in the box has not yet dried.

As the sounds of drums and horns arrived, the Yan army, like sleeping beasts, awakened their fighting spirit, opened their eyes, and bared their fangs.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The shouts and cries of killing were deafening. The morale of the Yan army was high and they were ready to fight a bloody battle with the enemy.

In the south, two equally boundless large square formations were coming towards this side.

In the eastern phalanx, the Chu army came with flags flying and marched in orderly steps.

Ten miles away from them, 300,000 Qian troops, also full of murderous intent, were heading north.

Compared with the Chu army, they were better equipped, had stronger morale, and were all full of fighting spirit.

In the Yan army, Shen Changgong and Ma Ling stood on the general's platform, observing the enemy with binoculars.

Shen Changgong chuckled and said,

"As expected, the Qian and Chu armies are fighting separately. This gives us the opportunity to defeat them one by one. It seems our strategy of sowing discord is working."

The Southern King nodded and said,

"This is a better result than we expected. This way, we don't have to penetrate the enemy lines and forcibly separate the two armies."

"Well, pass the order. The Tianyu Army will attack from the north and west of the Chu Army to block the Chu Army's advance.

The Pingnan Army moved southward, weaving in between the Qian and Chu armies, fighting back-to-back with the Tianyu Army and attacking the right wing of the Qian Army.

The Tianying Army attacked the left wing of the Qian Army. In the middle battlefield, the Shenfeng Army was the main force, and the Zhengnan Army was the rear guard, and the battle began.

On our side of the battlefield, we have 500,000 versus 300,000. The advantage is in my hands. As long as we can kill the main force of the Qian army, we can slowly wear down the remaining 100,000 Qian and Chu troops."

"Where are the Zhennan Army? Are they infiltrating the enemy's rear?"

"It's not time yet. Wait until the two armies engage in close combat, then have the Zhennan Army charge first to disrupt the enemy's defenses and create a gap for our army to penetrate the enemy."

"it is good."

They issued tactical orders, but the subtle operations and adaptability on the battlefield depended on the commanders and generals of each army.

As Shen Changgong's order was issued, the Tianyu Army sent 70,000 people from the west to the south, forming a semi-encirclement formation. In fact, it was not even a semi-encirclement, but only fighting from the north and west.

The 50,000 Zhennan troops were also in the north, led by Zhang Han himself, and together with the remaining 80,000 Tianyu troops, they defended the north.

The large flags of the Tianyu Army and the Zhennan Army were flying high, and the general flags with the word "Yu" and "Zhang" fluttered in the wind, looking majestic and powerful.

Xiang Qu personally led the Chu army northward. When he and the generals learned that the troops coming to attack them were the Zhennan Army and the Tianyu Army, they were not angry but happy.

A general laughed and said,

"General, you are right. The Zhennan Army is the best cavalry corps in the world, and the Tianyu Army is the ace infantry corps of Yan State. Wherever these two corps go, no one can stop them.

The Yan army is afraid of us, so they pulled their two strongest legions to deal with us. Who knows how many legions are behind us."

"Yes, I originally thought that when the Queen of Yan said that our Chu army was powerful, she was trying to flatter us, but I didn't expect that they really believed it from the bottom of their hearts."

"The best troops have been sent out, what else can we say? The Qian army is only targeting small fry.

If they can't even defeat this, we'll see if they dare to brag in front of us again."

Everyone was talking at once, having a great time, almost laughing out loud.

The enemy's words can deceive people, but their actual actions cannot deceive people. The Yan army sent its ace main force to attack the Chu army.

The Chu army was very proud.

When Xiang Qu heard what they said, he also had a little pride in his eyes, but he still said,

"It's better to be cautious and not get too arrogant. Although our Chu army is brave, the Yan army's trump cards are no pushovers. Everyone, brace yourself and give the Yan army a good fight. Don't underestimate them."

"I won't underestimate you, don't worry, Marshal."

Although they were proud, they were not so arrogant as to ignore the Yan army's ace troops. Instead, they were aroused and decided to have a good fight with the Yan army.

As they marched, they observed the battle formation of the Yan army.

After learning that the Yan army had formed a diagonal formation to attack their front army and left wing, Xiang Qu, in order to be cautious, also ordered the left wing and front army to prepare for battle, form an offensive formation, march forward in a square formation, and not fall behind.

Facing the Yan army, he still planned to proceed steadily and did not want to take any risks.

Soon, they came within the range of the Yan army's artillery, and the Yan army's artillery immediately spewed out flames and bombarded them crazily.

"Is this the Yan army's artillery? It's really powerful!"

Xiang Qu nodded and said in a deep voice,

"Send the order, speed up the march, and engage the enemy in close combat. As long as we close the distance, their artillery will be of little use."

"As ordered!"

"The Marshal has ordered us to speed up the march!"

As orders were issued one after another, the drumbeats in the Chu army began to become more rapid and frequent.

The soldiers in front also began to change from walking to charging, and quickly rushed towards the Yan army.

The Yan army fired a volley of artillery, and when the battle was about to begin, the Zhennan army's cavalry also began to roam around, attacking the enemy's flanks and charging into the front army.
