Steel Dynasty - Chapter 672

[Chapter 671 Reinforcements]

“If a dog can’t spit out ivory, what’s the point of using a burning stick!”

Niu Ben glared at Lu Fei.

Lu Fei suddenly became excited and laughed twice without daring to say anything more.

Niu Ben looked around at the generals and said: “Juyong Pass cannot be lost, and the ammunition is not spared during the current war.”

The generals nodded after hearing this, and then Ye Qingyun said: “General, most of the soldiers in the Western Expedition this time have stayed behind “

If they come to Gyeongju City to support them, they will be able to resolve this crisis.”

“As you can imagine, Deng Yuan must have thought that there will definitely be King Zhao’s troops in Gyeongju City to contain them, but they will be able to break the situation this time. Only the soldiers and horses of King Yong and King Huainan?”

“King Huainan?” The generals were surprised. They fought with the soldiers and horses of King Yong, but why did King Huainan want to attack Chang’an with them?

Niu Ben explained: “After King Huainan destroyed King Yan this time, he asked for orders to attack King Zhao with the army of the Western Expedition. When I set off, they must have been rushing to Qingzhou.”

A group of generals nodded. Nodding, Lu Fei said: “Chen Xinran’s soldiers and horses are stationed in Yanzhou, but it takes three days to get here from Yanzhou.”

“Seven days, this is the time to hold on this time, if you can hold on for these seven days That’s when the Zhao Kingdom will be destroyed,” Niu Ben said with his eyes narrowed.

The expressions of the generals became determined. The unification of the north was at hand. As long as they defeated King Zhao’s troops at Juyong Pass, it would be much easier to capture Chang’an below.

The next day, the barbarians and Deng Yuan continued to attack the city from the north and south at the same time, seemingly determined not to stop until Juyong Pass was broken.

At this time, King Huainan’s troops had arrived in Gyeongju.

“Your Highness, we found a large number of cavalry cruising ahead. They seem to be King Zhao’s black armored cavalry.” A cavalryman who came back from patrol said.

“Why did the Black Armor cavalry appear in Qingzhou?” King Huainan was shocked.

On the way, they got the news that the Western Expedition Army had captured Qingzhou, so he went straight to Qingzhou, preparing to merge with the Western Expedition Army to attack Chang’an.

Cui Shangan said: “Father, it is definitely not a good thing for the black armored cavalry to appear. Now we should work together with the Western Expeditionary Army in Qingzhou City to defeat this cavalry.”

“You are right, Qingzhou City is besieged, we cannot stand idly by, otherwise This will be a reason for someone to stir up trouble in front of the emperor in the future.”

King Huainan nodded and said slowly, “Let the cavalry prepare and move forward immediately.”

“Yes, father.” Cui Shangan immediately led the army to Qingzhou City.

The appearance of King Huainan’s army quickly alerted the black armored cavalry outside Gyeongju City. The leading cavalry general immediately sent 20,000 cavalry towards King Huainan’s army.

The scouts of the Huainan Army kept observing the movements of the Xuanjia cavalry. When they saw 20,000 cavalry coming directly towards them, the scouts immediately told the Huainan King the news.

“Father, the Xuanjia cavalry is the most elite cavalry of King Zhao. This time they sent 20,000 people to test our strength.”

King Huainan was excited because he defeated the Yan army. He laughed, “Then Let them taste the power of artillery.”

After that, he immediately organized the troops heading to Qingzhou. He knew very well that the infantry encountered the dilemma of cavalry on the plains. If they lose, they will suffer a big defeat, and if they win, they will win a small victory.

The black armor cavalry soon appeared in King Huainan’s sight, and the black steel torrent gave people a huge pressure.

After the Xuanjia cavalry entered the shooting range, King Huainan, who was marching with artillery, shouted: “Fire the guns.” The

Xuanjia cavalry apparently also discovered the formation on King Huainan’s side, and immediately divided into two groups and prepared to outflank the flanks. When they discovered this The king of Huainan immediately ordered the artillery to fire, and the shells roared into the distance.

“Rumble…” The horse and men immediately flipped over in the middle of the galloping Xuanjia cavalry. The impact of the shells was splashed with mud. The hit Xuanjia cavalry was instantly smashed into pieces. The Xuanjia cavalry in a line suffered heavy casualties.

But this did not frighten the Xuanjia Cavalry, and they continued to charge towards King Huainan’s position.

“Sure enough, they are Xuanjia cavalry who are not afraid of death.” The team of Xuanjia cavalry did not panic at all amid the artillery fire, and still carried out the outflanking order.

Several shellings caused a lot of casualties to the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry. Some had their legs broken. The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry were trampled to death by the following Xuanjia Iron Cavalry before they even wailed on the ground. The black and wavy Xuanjia Iron Cavalry The iron cavalry made King Huainan a little bit frightened.

The distance of several hundred meters only takes a short time for the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry. In the blink of an eye, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry rushed in front of the Huainan Army.

After entering the shooting range, the sound of bows and arrows rang out intensively, and the arrows in the sky were like dark clouds shooting at the approaching black armored cavalry.

The charging cavalry kept falling, but the pace of the Xuanjia cavalry still did not stop. At this time, Cui Shangan immediately spearheaded a spear formation in front to prevent the Xuanjia cavalry from directly impacting the infantry.

At the moment when the pikemen raised their spears, the Xuanjia cavalry made formal contact with the Huainan King’s army. The Xuanjia cavalry hit the spear array head-on. After the sound of flesh being pierced by spears, the Xuanjia cavalry wielding a machete passed by. The spear array rushed into the array.

The two sides immediately fell into a melee.

Relying on the agility of the horses, the black armor cavalry rushed left and right on the battlefield, and soon opened a gap. King Huainan saw it, and his expression was solemn. This black armor cavalry showed naked contempt for them. In the future, twenty thousand people can Defeat them.

“Block the gap immediately and prevent the Black Armor cavalry from breaking through the array!” King Huainan roared.

Cui Shangan nodded. He personally went into battle and led the only eight thousand cavalry to charge towards the Xuanjia cavalry.

When a part of the Xuanjia cavalry saw Cui Shangan leading the cavalry, they not only did not retreat, but returned and separated a part of the cavalry to rush directly towards the Huainan Army’s cavalry.

The two sides suddenly clashed with each other, and their horses collided with each other. The sound of fighting resounded throughout the battlefield.

At this moment, bursts of gunfire suddenly came from the direction of Gyeongju City.

Faint shouts of killing also rang out from the city, and the gunshots were getting closer and closer to King Huainan’s army.

It turned out that when the defenders of Gyeongju City discovered that King Huainan’s army had arrived outside the city, they immediately poured out of the city, formed a car formation, and went straight to King Huainan’s place, trying to join up with King Huainan’s army.

Hearing this voice, King Huainan became energetic. He shouted: “Soldiers, the soldiers of the Western Expedition are in front. I, the king, will kill these minions of King Zhao together.”

At this time, King Huainan’s blood surged, Although artillery and bows and arrows caused some casualties to the Xuanjia Cavalry, the impact of the Xuanjia Cavalry caused him to lose more soldiers.

These cavalry came and went like the wind, and his soldiers could not run away with two legs. Even though the number of his soldiers was much greater than that of the black armored cavalry, they still could not pose a threat to them. Perhaps only musket pairs could deal with these tiger and wolf-like soldiers.
