Shenwu Sanlang's guess was not wrong; in fact, while artillery fire was being prepared, the Tang Army's tanks had already started their attack. The speed of the Tang Army was even faster than Shenwu Sanlang had imagined.
Covering the infantry as they advanced steadily forward, the tanks' treads rolled over a battlefield already filled with craters, and the positions that were bombed and shelled earlier had not yet been completely repaired. The soldiers of Qi Country hiding in the trenches were suddenly scared witless by the sudden onslaught of the Tang Army.
The machine gun posts quickly began to roar as they tried to stop the attacking Tang Army. However, the tanks of Tang Country covered each other, coordinating flawlessly, and soon one tank halted, its turret slowly turning towards the firing machine gun post.
