Steel Dynasty - Chapter 674

[Chapter 673 Final Battle]

“General, the Huainan Army and Yong Army will arrive at Juyong Pass soon.”

In the Zhao Army camp, Wei Shaojie reported to Deng Yuan.

He arrived at Juyongguan City one day early and was waiting for Deng Yuan’s dispatch.

“How many troops are there in the Huainan Army and the Yong Army?” Deng Yuan asked.

“The Huainan Army should still have 80,000 troops, the Yong Army’s troops are estimated to be 70,000, and there are 40,000 musketeers coming this time.”

Deng Yuan’s face seemed a little older. The number of people joining the three armies this time was more than 20 Wan, the situation on the battlefield has been reversed.

Moreover, he has become less and less confident in winning in the past few days. The King of Qi’s army is very familiar with the use of firearms. He has lost 20,000 people in the siege these days, and this only caused a small number of casualties to Juyongguan.

“Withdraw!” After pondering for a long time, Deng Yuan softly uttered one word.

“Retreat!” The generals in the camp were shocked.

Deng Yuan nodded and said: “It is difficult to deal with the army of King Qi alone. Now with the armies of King Huainan and King Yong, we will definitely lose this battle. In this case, it is better to withdraw to Yuanzhou and use Yuanzhou’s We must be prepared for Niu Ben’s attack.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp voice suddenly sounded, “Retreat! General Deng said it lightly. If we can’t capture Juyong Pass and defeat King Qi’s army this time, we will lose Chang’an. General Deng, can you bear the responsibility for this crime?”

“Wang Shilang.” Deng Yuan was surprised when he saw the person coming. This was Wang Xi, the eunuch beside King Zhao.

Wang Xi snorted softly, and said to Deng Yuan: “This time, His Highness was worried that General Deng would act on his own accord, so he specially sent the Zajia to supervise the army. This shows that Your Highness is really far-sighted. If the Zajia came later, the General would definitely have to take him with him. The army has withdrawn to Yuanzhou.”

Deng Yuan explained: “Wang Shilang, the art of war says: The method of using troops is to surround an enemy ten times, attack it five times, fight when the number is doubled, divide the enemy into enemies, and escape if they are few. If not, we can avoid it. Therefore, the enemy is strong and the enemy is strong. At this time, we have fewer troops than the enemy, so we should avoid fighting with it and rely on natural dangers to deal with it.

” He became more and more dissatisfied, “Attack them in five ways. Why couldn’t the general take Juyongguan before when there were many people? Now that he sees the enemy’s many soldiers, he wants to escape. How can he have the nerve to talk to the Za family about the art of war!”

The generals around Deng Yuan heard this.

There was an angry look on Yan’s face. This Wang Xi relied on himself as the popular man in front of King Zhao and always looked down on their generals who were fighting abroad.

And he often takes credit for capturing Chang’an.

The generals of the Zhao army were dissatisfied with this eunuch, but they did not dare to offend him.

Although Deng Yuan was a veteran of the battlefield, he had to bow his head in front of Wang Xi. He said: “Wang Shilang, King Qi’s firearms are indeed powerful. In the past few days, the siege soldiers have suffered heavy losses and their morale has dropped greatly. The time and place are favorable. People and people are gone.”

Wang Xi didn’t care about this. When King Zhao sent him here, he told him to stop King Qi’s army from going south to Chang’an. If he couldn’t take advantage of this opportunity to destroy King Qi’s army at Juyong Pass, Next, Chang’an will inevitably become the target of attack.

“Wang Shilang, if you don’t leave, all of His Highness’s troops and horses will be lost here.” Deng Yuan said anxiously. This Wang Xi was proficient in conspiracy and conspiracy, but he didn’t understand marching and fighting at all.

Wang Xi snorted coldly and said, “It’s not up to you. Although Zheng Chengwen is said to be leading the troops this time, it was actually Wushu Gu Taiji who asked Zheng Chengwen to attack Juyongguan together with His Highness. If you withdraw at this time, you will Where does His Highness put it, and how should he explain it to Wu Shu Gu Tai Ji? “

Hearing the name Wu Shu Gu, Deng Yuan’s eyes narrowed, and he said: “Wang Shilang, the barbarian man-eating wolf, just live with them. “It will not end well in the future.”

“Deng Yuan!” Wang Xi screamed: “You are so bold. You are slandering His Highness. When you return to Chang’an, the Zajia family will make a statement to His Highness.”

Deng Yuan smiled sadly when he heard this. When he got up, he was already dissatisfied with King Zhao’s surrender to the barbarians.

In the battle with the barbarians, all three of his sons died in the battle. If King Zhao had not been kind to him, even if he died, he would not come to help the barbarians attack King Qi. army.

Now Wang Xi was worried about offending Wu Shu Gu, and he suddenly became angry and said: “What Wang Shilang wants to say can be said to His Highness when he returns to Chang’an, but the general does not want Zhao’s soldiers to die in vain, so retreat!”

“You! Dare!” Wang Xi’s chest rose sharply, and he took out a golden fish talisman, “This is the military talisman given to the Zajia by His Highness. If there is no Zajia, you can mobilize one soldier after another.”

Deng Yuan saw the golden fish talisman. He suddenly looked shocked.

Wang Xi sneered and said: “General Deng, if King Qi’s army attacks Chang’an, you and the Za family will not be able to survive.”

Deng Yuan sighed, stamped his feet, and walked out of the tent angrily.

While the two were quarreling, King Huainan’s army had already set up camp in the same place. At the same time, Chen Xinran also led his troops.

He immediately led his army to join forces with the King of Huainan.

“General Niu said he would wait for his order before attacking.” Di Ying looked at the flag bearer on the top of the city wall and said.

The flagman had just passed the order to him.

Chen Xinran, King Huainan, and Cui Shangan stood together, and the three nodded after hearing this.

Niu Ben was dispatching troops in Juyong Pass. At this time, he asked Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu to reorganize the cavalry, and the musketeers in the city were responsible for the defense of the north city.

Now that the offensive and defensive momentum has changed, they no longer need to defend the city, they only need to attack with all their strength.

After the cavalry was assembled, Niu Ben glanced at the sun. It was noon now, and then climbed onto the city wall. At this time, King Zhao’s camp still showed no signs of retreat.

“What is Deng Yuan thinking? Does he think he can really defeat an army of 200,000 people?” Niu Ben was very confused.

However, he only thought about it briefly. For him, he was eager to retaliate against Deng Yuan’s fierce attack a few days ago.

After waiting for an hour, Niu Ben asked the flag whisperer to issue orders one after another. At this time, Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu, who had gathered enough strength, led the cavalry to rush out of Juyong Pass at the same time.

At this time, Di Ying immediately led the car formation towards the Zhao Army camp with the cooperation of the Huainan Army and Yong Army. At the same time, Luo Xin concentrated all the field artillery and began to bombard the Zhao Army camp.

Defending the city these past few days had made him very frustrated, and now he wanted to shoot out all the cannonballs.

Cui Shang’an and Chen Xinran mounted their horses at the same time. Chen Xinran led 15,000 cavalry, and Cui Shang’an led 5,000 cavalry to join Qi Guangyi.

The army gathered together, and they pressed towards Zhao Jun’s camp like dark clouds.

Deng Yuan looked at the powerful coalition forces with a hint of despair in his eyes. At this time, even if he was possessed by the God of War, he could not save his fate of defeat.

However, he had already thought of King Zhao’s intention. Just as he sent his soldiers to die to consume cannonballs, they were only used to consume the other side in this battle.
