Steel Dynasty - Chapter 673

[Chapter 672 Merge into one place]

Dark clouds covered the sky.

The sounds of fighting on the battlefield sounded like rolling thunder from time to time.

The black armored cavalry relied on the agility of their horses to gallop across the battlefield. From time to time they launched attacks on King Huainan’s military formation, but at this time they were never willing to fight. They often killed some soldiers and quickly evacuated.

Although the soldiers of King Huainan fought bravely, they were often unable to achieve significant results in the face of the cavalry that came and went like the wind.

After the cavalry led by Cui Shangan collided with the Xuanjia cavalry, they began to chase and fight on the battlefield, but the Huainan Army’s cavalry was obviously at a disadvantage.

Facing the experienced black armor cavalry, the Huainan Army cavalry, which had never fought with the enemy on the battlefield, seemed very clumsy, and thousands of people were killed or injured in a short period of time.

All this was seen by King Huainan. Although he was anxious, he still maintained a calm expression in order to stabilize the morale of the army.

“Bang bang bang…”

The soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army outside Qingzhou City relied on chariot formations to fight against the Xuanjia cavalry. This time, the soldiers in Qingzhou City were led by Qingzhou Military Academy Lieutenant Di Ying.

When the Xuanjia cavalry appeared on the outskirts of Qingzhou City but did not attack, he realized that Juyongguan might be in danger.

However, there were a large number of black armor cavalry, and the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou City were all infantry, so he was helpless against these cavalry.

Yesterday, he sent a chariot formation to protect the musketeers and the black armor cavalry, but the black armor cavalry never fought with them. However, once the chariot formation got too far away from the city, these cavalry tried to divide the musketeers to encircle and annihilate them.

There were more musketeers in Qingzhou City than Lu Fei took away, but the number was only 60,000, and of these 60,000, 20,000 were left to defend the city. After all, if Qingzhou City was breached, Juyongguan would become a complete Lonely city.

And these 40,000 people are facing 50,000 black armor cavalry. Even if they force a breakthrough, they will probably suffer heavy losses, so Di Ying has been thinking about how to get rid of the black armor cavalry for the past two days.

So today when King Huainan’s troops arrived, Di Ying was overjoyed. He immediately led the musketeers in the city out of the city to join the Huainan army.

As soon as the chariot formation appeared, the Xuanjia cavalry suddenly panicked. Under the protection of the chariot, the musketeers relied on the protection of the vehicle body to move while shooting at the Xuanjia cavalry.

The Xuanjia Cavalry had seen this kind of car formation that gave them a headache yesterday. Now that the Huainan Army was added to the mix, they suddenly became a little panicked.

Keeping a distance from the car formation, the Black Armor cavalry felt powerless for the first time. This kind of car formation was like a hedgehog. If it was too close, it would only be killed. The only way to break through this kind of car formation was for infantry to break through it. Got into the car formation.

“Bang bang bang…”

The car formation kept moving, and the black armored cavalry kept falling on the route of the car formation. The soldiers of the Huainan Army were immediately boosted in morale when they saw this.

King Huainan saw hope at this time. As long as their soldiers entered the chariot formation, these cavalry would be helpless against him.

“Kill!” King Huainan shouted.

“Kill!” The battle formation formed by the Huainan Army reorganized and headed towards the car formation.

The Xuanjia cavalry tried to prevent the Huainan Army and the King of Qi’s army from joining together, but if they wanted to stop them, they had to charge head-on with the Huainan Army.

But at this time, the Huainan Army formed a dense formation. If they faced off head-on, they would surely suffer heavy casualties.

On a hill, Wang Chuan, commander of the Black Armor Cavalry, looked at the battlefield in front of him. The anxiety of the battlefield at this moment made him frown deeply.

“General, King Zhao’s situation is over. This time King Huainan has also led his troops. Together with King Yong’s army, King Zhao is absolutely unstoppable.” Standing next to Wang Chuan was Lieutenant General Wei Shaojie.

Wang Chuan frowned when he heard this, and said, “What does Colonel Wei mean by these words? Isn’t this just to boost others’ ambitions and destroy his own prestige?”

“The general’s words are wrong. As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes, Liang Wang , King Yan is dead, and the barbarians are unable to send troops to help in the battle between Goryeo and Japan. King Zhao cannot escape this disaster, and even if the barbarians send troops, how can they easily defeat King Yong, King Huainan plus Xiao Ming “The army?”

Wang Chuan snorted softly, “So what, even so, we can only fight to the death.”

Wei Shaojie sighed, and he looked at the battlefield again. At this time, the Musketeers and the Huainan King’s army were getting stronger and stronger .

They were getting closer, but the Xuanjia cavalry was getting weaker and weaker, and they could only watch the car formation and the Huainan army merge.

But when the chariot formation and the Huainan Army gathered together, the Huainan Army soldiers immediately entered the chariot formation and formed a more powerful chariot formation together with King Qi’s army. At this time, even if there were infantry, they would not be able to easily break through the chariot formation. .

Di Ying saw King Huainan at this time, and he said: “Your Highness, the Huainan Army must follow the chariot formation.”

King Huainan breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Di Ying: “I will temporarily leave the full power of the Huainan Army to your command. . “

Di Ying is a bit over the top, but in this short period of time the Huainan army lost more than 10,000 yuan. Fighting with the cavalry on a flat area probably frightened the King of Huainan.

“The general is overstepping his bounds.”

Di Ying said. He immediately dispersed the Huainan Army into various vehicle formations and placed the Huainan Army’s grain, grass and baggage in the middle of the vehicle formations.

At the same time, he asked the spearmen to protect both sides of the vehicle formation, and headed towards Juyongguan in a rectangular formation.

Facing the constantly moving car formation, the Black Armor cavalry continued to attack, but the increasingly tight protection made them helpless.

Wang Chuan and Wei Shaojie were anxious after witnessing all this. He said to Wei Shaojie, “Immediately lead 20,000 cavalry to Juyong Pass. I will lead the black armor cavalry to follow them. If there is a chance, I will delay their speed to Juyong Pass.”

“Yes, general. “Wei Shaojie responded, immediately ordered his troops and headed towards Juyong Pass.

Now they seemed unable to stop this group of soldiers from reinforcing Juyongguan, so they could only go to Juyongguan to join them.

When Di Ying and King Huai’an saw this, their expressions gradually relaxed. In the next three days, they walked and walked. King Huainan also learned the lesson. They made the baggage vehicles transporting grain and grass act like chariots to protect the army from the impact of the cavalry.

The two armies headed towards Juyongguan at the same time.

At the same time, Chen Xinran, who was repairing in Yanzhou, also received news that Juyongguan was besieged.

He immediately ordered a small number of soldiers to stay to guard the city, and most of the soldiers set off to Juyongguan.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, the barbarians and Deng Yuan launched attacks on Juyongguan again and again, but were repelled many times.

Under the fierce firepower of muskets and artillery, both the barbarians and Deng Yuan suffered heavy losses.

Niubeng was also uncomfortable. After these three days of hard fighting, many soldiers were killed and wounded, and ammunition was getting less and less day by day. If it continued to be used up, it would be very detrimental to them.

After repelling another round of siege soldiers that day, Niu Ben habitually picked up his telescope and looked into the distance. At this time, the Western Expedition Musketeers protected by the car array appeared in his eyes.

Niu Ben burst into laughter and said, “It’s time for a showdown, Deng Yuan, I’ll meet you right now!”

PS: There are more below, and they’ll be there soon.
