Chapter 669: Merge in one place
Overcast clouds obscured the sky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sound of fighting on the battlefield sounded from time to time like rolling thunder.
With the agility of their horses, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry galloped across the battlefield, and they attacked the army of the King of Huainan from time to time, but at this time they were not in love with war, and often killed some soldiers and quickly withdrew.
Although the soldiers of the King of Huainan fought bravely against the enemy, they were often unable to achieve significant results in the face of the cavalry that came and went.
After the cavalry led by Cui Shangan collided with the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, they began to chase and fight on the battlefield, but the cavalry of the Huainan Army was obviously inferior.
In the face of the experienced Xuanjia iron cavalry, the cavalry of the Huainan Army, which had never fought with the enemy on the battlefield, was very clumsy, and thousands of people were killed and wounded in a short time.
All this was seen by King Huainan, although he was anxious, but in order to stabilize the army's heart, he still maintained a calm look.
"Bang ......"
The soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army outside Gyeongju City fought against the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry with a chariot formation, and the soldiers in Gyeongju City this time were led by Di Ying, a lieutenant of the Qingju Military Academy.
When the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry appeared on the outskirts of Gyeongju Fortress without attacking, he realized that Juyong Pass might be in danger.
It's just that there are a large number of Xuanjia iron cavalry, and the soldiers and horses in Gyeongju City are all infantry, so he can't do anything against these cavalry.
Yesterday he sent a chariot formation to protect the musketeers and fight the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, but these Xuanjia Iron Cavalry never fought them, but once the chariot formation was too far away from the city, these cavalry tried to divide the musketeers and encircle them.
There were more musketeers in Gyeongju City than Lu Fei took away, but the number was only 60,000, and these 60,000 people had to leave 20,000 to defend the city, after all, Gyeongju City was breached, and this Juyong Pass became a completely isolated city.
And these 40,000 people against 50,000 Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, even if they forcibly break through, I am afraid they will suffer heavy losses, so Di Ying has been thinking about how to get rid of Xuanjia Iron Cavalry in the past two days.
So today, the soldiers and horses of the king of Huainan arrived, Di Ying was overjoyed, and he immediately led the musketeers in the city out of the city to join the Huainan army.
As soon as the chariot array appeared, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry suddenly panicked, and under the protection of the chariot, the musketeers relied on the protection of the chariot to move while shooting at the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.
The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry had seen this kind of car formation that gave them a headache yesterday, and at this time, with the addition of the Huainan Army, they were suddenly a little flustered.
Keeping a distance from the car formation, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry felt powerless for the first time, this kind of car formation is like a hedgehog, too close will only be killed, the only way to break through this car formation is for the infantry to break through the car formation.
"Bang ......"
The chariot array kept moving, and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry kept falling on the route of the chariot array, and the soldiers of the Huainan Army suddenly boosted their morale when they saw this.
The king of Huainan saw hope at this time, as long as their soldiers entered the chariot formation, these cavalry were helpless against themselves.
"Kill!" King Huainan shouted.
"Kill!" The battle formation formed by the Huainan Army was reintegrated and headed towards the car formation.
The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry tried to stop the Huainan Army and the Qi King's army from uniting together, but if they wanted to stop them, they had to fight the Huainan Army head-on.
But at this time, the Huainan army put up a dense formation, and if they were tough, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
On a hill, Wang Chuan, the commander of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, looked at the battlefield in front of him, and the anxiety of the battlefield at this moment made his brows furrowed.
"General, King Zhao is gone, this time King Huainan also led his troops to come, plus King Yong's army, King Zhao is absolutely irresistible." Beside Wang Chuan stood the deputy general Wei Shaojie.
Wang Chuan's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he said: "What does Captain Wei mean by this, isn't this to increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige?" ”
"The general's words are wrong, as the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie, King Liang and King Yan are dead, and the barbarians are fighting in Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom and cannot send troops to help, King Zhao will not be able to escape this catastrophe this time, and even if the barbarians send troops, how can they easily defeat King Yong, King Huainan and Xiao Ming's army?"
Wang Chuan snorted lightly, "So what, even so, we can only fight to the death." ”
Wei Shaojie sighed, he looked at the battlefield again, at this time the musket team and the army of the King of Huainan were getting closer and closer, while the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry was getting weaker and weaker, and could only watch the chariot formation and the Huainan army converge.
But when the chariot formation and the Huainan army were united, the soldiers of the Huainan army immediately entered the chariot formation and formed a more powerful chariot formation with the army of King Qi, and at this time, even if there were still infantry, I am afraid that they would not be able to easily break through this chariot array.
Di Ying saw the king of Huainan at this time, and he said; "Your Highness, the Huainan Army must follow the car formation."
King Huainan breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Di Ying: "This general will temporarily hand over the Huainan Army to you to command. ”
Di Ying has a big head, but in this short period of time, the Huainan army has lost more than 10,000 yuan, and the battle with the cavalry in the flat area is estimated to scare the king of Huainan enough.
"So the last general will trespass."
Di Ying said that he immediately dispersed the Huainan army into various car formations, and placed the Huainan army's grain, grass and baggage in the middle of the car formation.
At the same time, he asked the spearmen to protect the sides of the chariot formation, forming a rectangular formation and heading towards Juyong Pass.
In the face of the constantly moving car formation, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry continued to attack, but the increasingly tightly guarded car formation made them helpless.
Wang Chuan and Wei Shaojie were anxious when they saw all this, and he said to Wei Shaojie; "You immediately lead 20,000 cavalry to Juyong Pass, and I will lead the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to follow them, and if there is an opportunity, I will delay their speed to Juyong Pass."
"Yes, General." Wei Shaojie answered, and immediately ordered people to go to Juyong Pass.
Now they seem to be unable to stop this group of soldiers from reinforcing Juyong Pass, so they can only go to Juyong Pass to converge.
Seeing this, Di Ying and the King of Huai'an gradually soothed, and for the next three days they stopped and stopped, and the King of Huainan also learned wisely, and they let the baggage carts that transported grain and grass also protect the army from the onslaught of cavalry like chariots.
The armies of both sides marched towards Juyong Pass at the same time.
At the same time, Chen Xinran, who was repairing in Yanzhou, also got the news that Juyongguan was besieged.
He immediately ordered a small number of soldiers to be left to defend the city, and most of the soldiers set off towards Juyong Pass.
The time of three days passed in a blink of an eye, and in the past three days, the barbarians and Deng Yuan launched attacks on Juyong Pass again and again, but they were repeatedly repulsed.
Under the ferocious fire of muskets and artillery, both the barbarians and Deng Yuan were all lost soldiers.
Niu Ben was also uncomfortable, many soldiers were killed and wounded during the three days of hard fighting, and the ammunition was getting less and less day by day, and if they continued to consume, it would be very unfavorable for them.
After repelling another round of siege soldiers that day, Niu Ben habitually picked up his binoculars and looked into the distance, when the musketeers of the Western Expedition under the protection of the chariot array appeared in his eyes.
Niu Ben suddenly laughed, and he said: "It's time to fight between the male and female, Deng Yuan, Ben will come to meet you!"
