Steel Dynasty - Chapter 670

[Chapter 669 Danger City]

PS: These two chapters are to make up for yesterday’s fifth update, and will be updated as normal tonight.

“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 north city of Juyong Pass.

“This time King Zhao and Zheng Chengwen are indeed preparing to attack Juyongguan both internally and externally.” Niu Ben frowned, and he said to Lu Fei: “Let’s go to the North City Gate to have a look. The troops of King Zhao are only forwards now. For the time being, If you don’t know how to attack the city, you will definitely wait for the soldiers and supplies from behind to arrive.”

Lu Fei nodded. This time he was in charge of the north gate.

Ye Qingyun was left staring at King Zhao’s soldiers and horses, while Niu Ben and his party arrived at the northern city wall of Juyong Pass. At this time, the vast barbarian army on the grassland was coming towards the pass.

The barbarian army stopped five hundred meters outside the city. At this time, the slave soldiers held up their shields to block the front. They had learned the lesson of fighting the Qi King’s army and did not dare to approach the city wall rashly this time to avoid being bombarded by artillery again.

Not long after the barbarian army stopped, a cavalryman suddenly rode forward and shouted to the defenders on the city wall: “Bold madmen, you dare to occupy Juyong Pass. Wushu Gutai Ji said that if you hand over Juyong Pass, I will spare you.” If you don’t obey, you will be killed.” Niu Ben looked grim. King Zhao and the barbarians attacked Juyong Pass at the same time. This shows how important Juyong Pass is. Otherwise, the barbarians would have to make a detour of eight hundred miles to escape. The feudal state of King Zhao invaded Dayu.

As a result, the barbarians’ supply lines became longer and longer, and they were always in danger of being hijacked.

Therefore, for Niu Ben, this battle must be fought for both parties.

“It’s so much nonsense to fight a war.” Lu Fei was not in the mood to start a war of words with the barbarians. He patted an artilleryman on the shoulder, pointed at Zheng Chengwen who was surrounded by barbarian soldiers and said, “Here comes the thief who considers the thief his father.” One shot.”

“Yes.” The artilleryman nodded, and the soldier in charge of the artillery immediately started loading.

For Lu Fei, he is not worried about this war. As before, the hope for the victory of the barbarians this time is to take advantage of the barbarians’ unfamiliarity with thermal weapons. They would never have thought that the things erected on the city wall can now have an effective range of up to Three or four miles, firearms are now more powerful than before.

The cavalry clamored in front of the city gate for a while and then returned.

Seeing that there was no response to the cavalry’s words, Zheng Chengwen looked impatient. He said to the barbarian general beside him, “General Duolong, according to our agreement with King Zhao’s army, today is the time to attack the city.”

“Understood.” Duolong. Long showed an evil smile, and he asked a cavalryman to blow the attack horn. At this time, the barbarian cavalry quickly stepped out of the way, and the barbarian slave soldiers carrying the ladder immediately rushed towards the city wall.

At the same time, Niu Ben saw the barbarian artillery hidden among the slave soldiers. When these slave soldiers attacked the city, these artillery took the opportunity to move forward.

The barbarians suddenly launched an attack, which stunned Niu Ben and Lu Fei. When they recovered, they immediately put their soldiers on guard.

“Let the artillery attack the barbarian artillery immediately. We must not let them break open the city wall.” Niu Ben looked serious. If the city gate was broken, it would be a disaster for 100,000 people to invade the city.

At this moment Niu Ben suddenly felt unprecedented pressure.

“Kill!”

the slave soldiers shouted, and the dense crowd of slave soldiers rushed towards Juyong Pass despite artillery bombardment.

“Bang bang bang…” Facing the barbarian slave soldiers who came like army ants, the musketeers began to spray tongues of fire wantonly. The barbarian slave soldiers rushing in the front row fell one by one like cutting rice, but even so , the slave soldiers behind had already rushed towards Juyongguan desperately.

At this moment, the barbarians once again showed their fearlessness of death.

For this battle, Niu Ben mobilized most of his soldiers to other city gates, because the northern city wall of Juyong Pass was the most dangerous and very difficult to attack.

The southern city wall of Juyongguan is very weak. They originally built Shanhaiguan from the inside, so they are very aware of this shortcoming.

Therefore, under this arrangement, the number of soldiers in Beicheng was more than 6,000, but these 6,000 were armed with rifled guns.

Barbarian slave soldiers rushing over from a long distance will be shot.

Duolong apparently also discovered this. King Qi’s soldiers were able to kill their slave soldiers from a long distance.

But even so, they still couldn’t stop more than 70,000 slave soldiers from climbing the city wall.

Soon, some slave soldiers who climbed up from the ladder started a hand-to-hand battle with the soldiers guarding the city.

Lu Fei held a long sword in his hand and kept slashing the rushing slave soldiers, while other soldiers built a protective circle for the artillery to prevent the artilleryman from being killed by the slave soldiers.

Niu Ben saw all this in their eyes. At this time, everyone looked solemn. War is never easy.

When the slave soldiers rushed up the city wall, Duolong ordered the slave soldiers to push the artillery towards Juyongguan City Gate.

“Prepare the artillery fire!” Niu Ben said with a hint of anxiety in his tone.

The artillerymen all looked serious, but they were not panicked. More than a year of war allowed them to be calm before the battle. They aimed at the barbarian artillery and fired quickly. If they could not stop the barbarian artillery from blasting open the city gate, they would lose this war. You will probably lose.

Once firearms lose their long-range advantage, numbers will become the advantage of the barbarians, and they will not be able to win even if they fight ten of them.

The artillery shells kept rushing towards the barbarian artillery. Some of the artillery shells accurately hit the barbarian artillery. This caused the barbarian artillery to panic. Some artillerymen even ran around to avoid the attack of the artillery shells. Many barbarian artillerymen were bombarded by artillery shells and died miserably in the chaos. .

There were more and more barbarian slave soldiers at the top of the city. Niu Ben was also anxious when commanding the artillery. He also drew his sword and joined in the battle for the city wall, leaving the words “continue to fight the barbarian artillery”.

Lu Fei’s body was almost soaked with the blood of the slave soldiers, and he threw another slave soldier off the city wall. He looked at the situation outside the city wall.

At this time, the barbarian artillery was frightened by the shelling and became confused. However, the artillery focused on bombarding the barbarian artillery, but more slave soldiers climbed onto the city wall. More and more soldiers gave up shooting at this time and used bayonets to fight with the slave soldiers.

“General, we need support here now, otherwise we won’t be able to withstand it.” The situation became more and more serious. At this time, Lu Fei realized that he had overestimated the power of firearms. Compared with the armies of King Yan and King Liang, the barbarians were obviously difficult to deal with. Much.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly the faint sound of drums from the south city. Niu Ben’s expression changed and he said: “Oh no, King Zhao’s army has attacked the city. As expected, this Deng Yuan never fights according to the rules. Fortunately, I will stay here.” Dismount most of the troops to guard Nancheng, otherwise it will be over. “
