"General, barbarian cavalry and barbarian slave soldiers have appeared on the grassland."
While Niu Ben and other generals were observing King Zhao's army, suddenly a general came from the northern city of Juyong Pass.
"This time, King Zhao and Zheng Chengwen are really preparing to attack Juyong Pass both inside and outside." Niu Ben frowned, and he said to Lu Fei: "Let's go to the North City Gate to take a look, this King Zhao's soldiers and horses are only the vanguard now, and they will not attack the city for the time being, and they will definitely wait for the soldiers and grain and grass to arrive." ”
Lu Fei nodded, this time he was in charge of the North Gate.
Leaving Ye Qingyun to stare at King Zhao's soldiers and horses, Niu Ben and his party arrived at the northern city wall of Juyong Pass, and at this time, the barbarian army on the grassland was coming towards the pass.
Five hundred meters outside the city, the barbarian army stopped, and at this time the slave soldiers held their shields in front of them, and they had learned the lesson of fighting the army of the King of Qi, and this time they did not dare to approach the city wall rashly, lest they be bombarded by artillery again.
Soon after the barbarian army stopped, a cavalry suddenly stepped forward and shouted at the defenders on the city wall: "Bold fanatics, you dare to occupy Juyong Pass, Wushu Gutaiji said, if you hand over Juyong Pass, I will spare your life, if you do not obey, you will be slaughtered after the city is broken." Niu Ben's expression was cold, King Zhao and the barbarians attacked Juyong Pass at the same time, which shows how important this Juyong Pass is, otherwise, the barbarians must make a detour of 800 miles to invade Dayu from King Zhao's feudal state.
As a result, the barbarians' supply lines became longer and longer, and they were in constant danger of being hijacked.
So for Niu Ben, this battle must be fought for both sides.
"It's so much nonsense to fight a war." Lu Fei was not in the mood to have a war of words with the barbarians, he patted an artilleryman on the shoulder, pointed to Zheng Chengwen, who was surrounded by barbarian soldiers, and said, "Give the thief who recognizes the thief as his father." ”
"Yes." The artilleryman nodded, and the soldier in charge of the gun immediately began to reload.
As far as Lu Fei is concerned, he is not worried about this war, as before, the hope of victory for the barbarians this time is to take advantage of the barbarians' unfamiliarity with thermal weapons, they would not have thought that the things erected on the city wall can now have an effective range of three or four miles, and now firearms are more powerful than before.
The cavalry shouted at the gates and returned.
Seeing that the cavalry's words were not answered, Zheng Chengwen showed an impatient look, and he said to the barbarian general beside him, "General Duolong, according to the agreement between us and King Zhao's army, today is the time to attack the city. ”
"Understood." With a wicked smile, he let one of the cavalrymen blow the horn of the attack, and at this time, the barbarian cavalry quickly flashed a way, and the barbarian slave soldiers carrying the ladder immediately rushed to the city wall.
At the same time, Niu Ben saw the barbarian artillery hidden among the slave soldiers, and when the slave soldiers attacked the city, these cannons took the opportunity to move forward.
The barbarians suddenly attacked, which made Niu Ben and Lu Fei a little stunned, and when they came to their senses, they immediately took precautions.
"Let the artillery bombard the barbarian artillery at once, and they must not be allowed to blast through the city walls." Niu Ben's expression was serious, if the city gate was broken, it would be a disaster for 100,000 people to attack the city.
At this moment, Niu Ben suddenly felt unprecedented pressure.
"Kill!"
The slave soldiers shouted, braving the artillery bombardment, and the dense slave soldiers rushed towards Juyong Pass.
"Bang bang...... In the face of the barbarian slave soldiers who rushed over like fellow soldiers, the musketeers began to spray tongues of fire wantonly, and the barbarian slave soldiers who rushed to the front row fell one by one like cutting rice, but even so, the slave soldiers behind had rushed to Juyong Pass desperately.
At this moment, the barbarians once again showed that they were not afraid of death.
For this battle, Niu Ben mobilized most of his soldiers to other city gates, because the northern wall of Juyong Pass was the most dangerous and very difficult to attack.
The southern city wall of Juyong Pass is very weak, and they were originally from the inside of the Shanhaiguan, so they are very aware of this shortcoming.
Therefore, under this arrangement, the number of soldiers in Beicheng is more than 6,000, but these 6,000 people are rifled guns.
Barbarian slave soldiers who rush at a great distance will be shot.
Doron had apparently discovered this as well, and the soldiers of the King of Qi were able to kill their slave soldiers from a great distance.
But even so, they still couldn't stop more than 70,000 slave soldiers from climbing the city wall.
Soon, some of the slave soldiers who climbed up the ladder engaged in a hand-to-hand battle with the soldiers defending the city.
Lu Fei held a long sword in his hand and kept slashing the slave soldiers who rushed up, while the other soldiers set up a protective ring for the artillerymen to prevent the gunners from being killed by the slave soldiers.
Niu Ben saw all this in their eyes, and everyone looked solemn at this time, war is never an easy task.
When the slave soldiers rushed up the city wall, Doron ordered the slave soldiers to push their cannons towards the gate of Juyong.
"Prepare artillery fire!" Niu Ben's tone was a little anxious.
The artillerymen looked serious one by one, but they were not flustered, more than a year of war allowed them to do not panic, they aimed at the barbarian artillery and quickly ignited, if they could not prevent the barbarian artillery from bombarding the city gates, they would probably lose the war.
Once a firearm loses its ranged advantage, the number of people will become the advantage of the barbarians, and even if they are ten at all, they will not be able to win.
The cannonballs kept rushing towards the barbarian artillery, and some of the cannonballs accurately hit the barbarian artillery, which made the barbarian artillery panic suddenly, and some of the artillerymen even ran around to avoid the attack of the cannonballs, and many barbarian artillerymen were killed by the shells in the chaos.
There were more and more barbarian slave soldiers at the head of the city, and Niu Ben was also anxious when he commanded the artillery, so he also drew his sword to join the battle for the city wall, and at the same time left the words "continue to fight the barbarian artillery".
Lu Fei's body was almost soaked in the blood of the slave soldiers, and he threw another slave soldier off the city wall, and he looked at the situation outside the city wall.
At this time, the barbarian artillery became confused because of the shelling, but the artillery focused on bombarding the barbarian artillery but let more slave soldiers climb the city wall, and more and more soldiers gave up shooting at this time and used bayonets to fight with slave soldiers.
"General, we need support here now, otherwise we won't be able to withstand it." The situation became more and more severe, and Lu Fei realized that he had overestimated the combat power of firearms at this time, and compared to the armies of King Yan and King Liang, the barbarians were obviously much more difficult to deal with.
As soon as his words fell, suddenly there was a faint drum sound from Nancheng, Niu Ben's face changed, and he said: "Yes, King Zhao's army has attacked the city, this Deng Yuan really never fights according to the rules, fortunately, the general left most of the men and horses to guard the southern city, otherwise it would be over." “
