Steel Dynasty - Chapter 665

[Chapter 664 Dumbfounded Zheng Chengwen]

“Qingzhou City has been lost!”

Wu Shugu frowned in the silver tent.

Three days ago, Zheng Chengwen led a group of cavalry out of Juyong Pass and headed straight for the Golden Horde’s Silver Horde. He needed to tell Wu Shugu the news.

At that time, the King of Liang sent an envoy to the capital of the Golden Horde Khanate. As one of the envoys, he and Wu Shugu had some intersection at that time.

“The news is absolutely true. King Qi’s army defeated the three kings’ coalition forces in Yunzhou City, and then they invaded the Liang Kingdom with unstoppable force.” Zheng Chengwen’s eyes wandered.

Wu Shugu glanced sideways at Zheng Chengwen, and he snorted coldly and said, “In that case, why didn’t you tell me the news earlier? I’m afraid you have something in your heart and want to replace King Liang.”

Zheng Chengwen was Wu Shu Gu hit the point, and he was startled for a moment. Just when he was about to defend, Wu Shu Gu suddenly said: “You don’t have to explain. It doesn’t matter who the King of Liang is to us in the Golden Horde, as long as he is obedient enough.” “

Zheng Chengwen was overjoyed when he heard this, and he said: “Tai Ji, King Liang has always been disrespectful to Tai Ji, but I am sincere to Tai Ji.”

Wu Shugu nodded slightly and said, “This King of Qi. It seems that it is a serious problem for our Golden Horde. If the Japanese had not attacked Goryeo at this time, they would have destroyed it with all the strength of the country.”

Zheng Chengwen said: “What Taiji said is absolutely true, but now King Qi’s army has gained a foothold. It’s not yet stable, but it’s too late at this time.”

Wu Shugu frowned, “It’s just that Father Khan is unwilling to fight on two fronts. Even if we support you, we can only send 30,000 cavalry and 70,000 slave soldiers. We will only end the Goryeo War. Only then

can we focus on dealing with King Qi. “

“Tai Ji, but I’m afraid King Qi will also kill King Zhao, and no one will be able to help Tai Ji.”

He came this time hoping that the Golden Horde would send a large number of troops to help him recapture the city of Liang, so that he would be the king of Liang.

After all, the city of Qingzhou was destroyed, the life and death of King Liang was uncertain, and the second prince died in the battle. He was the only one left in Liang who could inherit the throne.

“What you said makes sense, but I can’t do anything about it now. The troubles of the Japanese country are right in front of me. This is a provocation to the Khanate. Father Khan is furious, but at this time he can’t take care of the King of Qi. So are these soldiers. Father Khan prepared to give it to you and King Zhao, but there is really nothing else left,” Wu Shugu said.

Zheng Chengwen was extremely disappointed. These soldiers were at most enough for him to defend Juyong Pass.

Seemingly sensing Zheng Chengwen’s thoughts, Wu Shugu said: “These troops are here to let you guard Juyong Pass. When the war in Goryeo is over, I promise to lead the army to destroy the King of Qi.”

Zheng Chengwen sighed in his heart, and now he can only In this way, he said: “I only hope that Taiji can lead his troops here soon.”

Wu Shugu nodded.

Zheng Chengwen did not dare to stay longer. After saying goodbye to Wu Shugu, he hurried back to Juyong Pass. However, when he arrived at the pass with the barbarian support troops, he was immediately mourned.

At this time, Juyong Pass was still a soldier of the Liang State. It was clearly the Qi King’s army wearing green military uniforms. However, within six or seven days, Juyong Pass had changed hands.

“Give me back Juyong Pass!” Zheng Chengwen cursed. He never expected that King Qi’s army would capture Juyong Pass so quickly.

However, the only response he received was the roar of artillery.

At the same time, Niu Ben also arrived at Juyongguan.

He was ordered to supervise the battle, but he never thought that he would learn the news that King Liang had been captured just after arriving in Qingzhou, and then he hurried to Juyong Pass.

Because Lu Fei then led his army to march quickly to attack here.

Entering Juyong Pass, Niu Ben immediately felt a tense atmosphere before the war. The people coming and going in Juyong Pass were all walking in a hurry, with worried looks on their faces. There were no vendors on the street. Heavily armed soldiers came from time to time. The alley appears.

“General, you must be tired after all the hard work. Let’s go to the camp first.” Lu Fei said when he saw a trace of tiredness on Niu Ben’s face.

Niu Ben shook his head and said: “No, the war is urgent. How many barbarian soldiers have come outside the city.”

“Back to the general, according to the identification of the soldiers in the city, this person is Zheng Chengwen, the guard of Juyong Pass. It is estimated that what he brought this time is The number of soldiers and horses borrowed from the barbarians is about 100,000, including 30,000 cavalry and 70,000 slave soldiers. “

Juyong Pass is the northwest gateway of the Dayu Kingdom, between the territories of the Liang Kingdom and the Golden Horde Khanate, and the mountains around Juyong Pass .

There are many, especially on the side adjacent to the plateau where the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous. Juyongguan is located at the throat of Liang State.

The construction of Juyongguan is also based on its military characteristics. It faces south and faces north. The city wall in the north is thick and high. The Juyongguan camp is stationed in the north city to defend against threats from barbarians at any time.

While they were talking, the two arrived at Xicheng. There were obviously more soldiers here, and they were very busy. They were constantly shuttling back and forth, and there were many soldiers carrying ammunition and stones.

Ye Qingyun said at this time: “It is thanks to the Yong Army that we successfully captured Juyong Pass this time. Chen Xinran also led the troops in the siege and won the last city of Liang Kingdom with us.”

Niu Ben heard this.

With a look of appreciation, he said, “I didn’t expect that King Yong would have a capable general under his command.”

“This Chen Xinran is quite a talent.” Lu Fei did not deny it.

The three of them arrived at the camp, with the city wall in front of them.

The city wall of Juyongguan is not high, only about 12 meters. It is made of bluestone and appears to be very strong. Climbing up the two-meter-wide stairs to the city tower, Niuben’s field of vision suddenly appears with green grassland.

Not far from the pass are the wandering barbarian cavalry and barbarian slave soldiers.

Picking up the binoculars and looking at the barbarian soldiers not far away, Niu Ben observed for a while and said to himself: “Don’t worry, these are not the elite of the barbarians. The emperor really has a clever plan. The barbarians are not willing to fight on two fronts now, so the cavalry sent are not elite either. “

Lu Fei and Ye Qingyun also breathed a sigh of relief, and he said: “General, the soldiers have been fighting fiercely for several months, and now they are extremely tired. It is time for the soldiers to recuperate for a while.”

Niu Ben understood what Lu Fei meant, and the continuous hard battle brought The problem that arises is the soldiers’ war-weariness, which needs to be vented through repair and relaxation.

After pondering for a while, he said to Lu Fei: “Go and collect the Yanchen women from Liang State, pay them some money, and ask them to sing a song for the soldiers, but be sure not to force them, lest they ruin the emperor’s Reputation.”

Lu Fei’s eyes were fixed. Not to mention the soldiers, he himself felt irritable during this period. This was all caused by the depression of the war. It was naturally wonderful to have this pleasure.

So he was naturally willing to carry out this matter, so he smiled and said: “General, do you want to pick someone for you?”

“Get out.” Niu Ben glared angrily, “I didn’t ask someone to find someone just for the sake of being under the bed.” If you act recklessly, let’s see how I will deal with you!”
