Chapter 668: Reinforcements
"A dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth, what a burning stick!"
Niu Ben glared at Lu Fei. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Lu Feiden was excited, and he laughed twice and didn't dare to say more.
Niu Ben glanced around at the generals and said: "Juyong Pass cannot be lost, and the ammunition is not saved at the current war." ā
Hearing this, the generals nodded, and then Ye Qingyun said: "General, most of the soldiers of the Western Expedition have stayed in Gyeongju City this time, if they come to support, this crisis will be resolved." ā
"What you can think of, Deng Yuan will inevitably think that now there will be King Zhao's soldiers and horses in Gyeongju City to contain them, but only the soldiers and horses of King Yong and King Huainan can break the situation this time?"
"King Huainan?" The generals were surprised, they fought with King Yong's soldiers and horses, but why did King Huainan want to attack Chang'an with them?
Niu Ben explained: "After the king of Huainan destroyed the king of Yan this time, he asked for orders to attack the king of Zhao with the army of the western expedition, and when the general set off, they must have been rushing to Gyeongju. ā
The generals nodded, and Lu Fei said: "Chen Xinran's soldiers and horses are stationed in Yanzhou, but it takes three days to travel from Yanzhou to here. ā
"Seven days, this is the time to hold on this time, and if you can hold these seven days, it will be the time when the Zhao Kingdom will fall." Niu Ben squinted his eyes and said.
The generals' expressions became resolute, and the unification of the north was at the moment, as long as the soldiers and horses of King Zhao were defeated at Juyong Pass, it would be much easier to capture Chang'an below.
The next day, the barbarians and Deng Yuan attacked the city at the same time from the north and south as usual, and they looked like they would not stop without breaking the Yongguan Pass.
At this time, the soldiers and horses of the king of Huainan had already arrived in Gyeongju.
"Your Highness, we have found a large number of cavalry cruising ahead, they seem to be King Zhao's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry." Said a cavalryman returning from a patrol.
"How could the Xuanjia Iron Rider appear in Gyeongju?" King Huainan was shocked.
On the way, they got the news that the Western Expeditionary Army had captured Gyeongju, so he went straight to Gyeongju and prepared to merge with the Western Expeditionary Army to attack Chang'an.
Cui Shangan said: "Father, the appearance of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is definitely not a good thing, now we should join forces with the Western Expeditionary Army in Gyeongju City to defeat this cavalry." ā
"You're right, Gyeongju City is besieged, we can't stand idly by, otherwise in the future, this will be someone tricking right and wrong in front of the emperor."
King Huainan nodded and said slowly: "Let the cavalry prepare, and immediately move forward." ā
"Yes, Father." Choi Sang-an immediately led the army to Gyeongju City.
The appearance of the army of the king of Huainan soon alarmed the Xuanjia iron cavalry outside the city of Gyeongju, and the cavalry general led by him immediately sent 20,000 cavalry to the army of the king of Huainan.
The scouts of the Huainan army constantly observed the movements of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and when they saw the 20,000 cavalry coming straight towards them, the scouts immediately told the king of Huainan the news.
"Father, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is the most elite cavalry of King Zhao, and this time they must have sent 20,000 people to test our reality."
King Huainan laughed because of the high spirits of the Great Breaking Yan Army, "Then let them taste the power of artillery." ā
After that, he immediately let the army that was going to Gyeongju this time form a formation, and he knew very well that the infantry encountered the dilemma of cavalry on the plains, and that defeat would be a big defeat, and a victory would be a small victory.
The Xuanjia Iron Rider soon appeared in the field of vision of the King of Huainan, and the black steel torrent gave people a tremendous pressure.
After the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry came into range, the King of Huainan, who was marching with artillery, shouted, "Open the cannon." ā
The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry obviously also discovered the array on the side of the King of Huainan, and immediately divided into two groups and prepared to outflank from the flanks, and the King of Huainan, who found this sign, immediately ordered the artillery to open fire, and the cannonballs whistled and flew into the distance.
"Boom ......Rumble" was in the middle of the galloping Xuanjia Iron Cavalry immediately turned over, the cannonball landing point splashed with the soil, the hit Xuanjia Iron Cavalry was directly shattered, and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry on a line suffered heavy casualties.
But this did not make the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry any frightened, and they still kept charging towards the position of the King of Huainan.
"Sure enough, it's a Xuanjia iron rider who is not afraid of death." Under the fire, the team of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry did not panic at all, and still carried out the order to outflank.
Several shellings caused a lot of casualties to the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, some of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry who were blown off their legs were trampled to death by the follow-up Xuanjia Iron Cavalry before they wailed on the ground, and the same black wave of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry made the King of Huainan a little frightened.
The distance of hundreds of meters only took a short time for the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and in the blink of an eye, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry rushed in front of the Huainan Army.
After entering the firing range, the sound of bows and arrows rang out intensively, and the arrows in the sky shot like dark clouds towards the Xuanjia Iron Rider who rushed over.
The cavalry that rushed over kept falling, but the pace of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry still did not stop, and at this time, Cui Shangan immediately pikemen quickly built a spear formation in front of them to prevent the direct impact of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry on the infantry.
At the moment when the pikemen put up the spear, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry and the army of the King of Huainan made official contact, and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry collided hard into the spear array, and after the sound of the flesh being pierced by the spear sounded, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry wielding a machete crossed the spear array and rushed into the array.
The two sides immediately fell into a scuffle.
With the flexibility of the horses, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry rushed left and right on the position, and soon tore a gap, the King of Huainan saw it, his expression was solemn, this Xuanjia Iron Cavalry was naked contempt for them, and 20,000 people could defeat them in the future.
"Immediately plug the gap, don't let the Xuanjia Iron Rider break through the array!" King Huainan roared.
Cui Shangan nodded, he personally put on the battle, and led the only eight thousand cavalry to rush towards the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.
Seeing that Cui Shang'an was leading the cavalry, a part of the Xuanjia iron cavalry not only did not retreat, but returned and separated a part of the cavalry and rushed directly to the cavalry of the Huainan army.
The two sides suddenly collided with people, horses collided with horses, and the sound of fighting resounded throughout the battlefield.
At this moment, suddenly there were bursts of gunfire from the direction of Gyeongju City.
A faint shout of killing also sounded from inside the city, and the gunfire was getting closer and closer to the army of the King of Huainan.
It turned out that the defenders of Gyeongju City found that the army of the king of Huainan had arrived outside the city, so they immediately poured out of the city, formed a chariot formation, and then killed the king of Huainan directly, trying to join the army of the king of Huainan.
Hearing this voice, King Huainan's spirits were greatly lifted, and he shouted: "Soldiers, the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army are in front, and my king will kill these minions of King Zhao together." ā
At this time, the blood of the king of Huainan was surging, although the artillery and bows and arrows caused some casualties to the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, but the impact of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry made him lose more soldiers.
These cavalry came and went like the wind, and his soldiers couldn't outrun on two legs, even if his soldiers were much larger than the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, they still couldn't pose a threat to them, maybe only muskets could deal with these tiger-like soldiers.
