Chapter 671 Defeat Zhao Jun
The strong wind blew up the dust on the battlefield, and the air was rendered yellow.
The coalition forces composed of the Huainan Army, the Yong Army and the Xizheng Army gradually drove towards the Zhao Army's camps.
Deng Yuan concentrated 50,000 infantry soldiers and 50,000 cavalry on both wings, and a total of 100,000 troops set up their battles in front of the camp.
Suddenly, a rapid charge sounded.
This voice came from Juyongguan, which was a signal to launch an attack on the Zhao army.
Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu each led 20,000 troops to protect the flanks. The middle army was composed of musketeers from the Western Expedition Army, while the Huainan Army and the Yong Army were responsible for the hand-to-hand combat during the battle.
The number of people was superior, and the Western Expedition Army was highly morale. Whether it was the Western Expedition Army, the Huainan Army or the Yong Army, the soldiers were all full of faith in winning.
"Dongdongdongdong..."
The Zhao army's war drums were beating, and 100,000 Zhao army soldiers came neatly towards the Western Expedition Army.
Luo Xin had sent some artillery troops to establish artillery positions outside the city. When the troops of both sides approached, these artillery soldiers continued to pour artillery shells into the Zhao army's army.
"ah……"
Screams kept ringing in the Zhao army, and the solid bombs and flowering bombs of the Western Expedition Army were killing and wounding soldiers at the same time.
Deng Yuan had no choice in the face of artillery attacks. If he dispersed into all formations at this time, he would inevitably be massacred by the opponent's dense formations.
It is a principle that every general understands that the battle formation cannot be messed up on the battlefield.
But for the Zhao army, this was just the beginning. When the distance between them was four hundred meters, the artillery soldiers suddenly replaced the shells with grape shells.
This kind of shell has the ability to kill the enemy on a large scale on the battlefield, but its range is only four or five hundred meters.
"Fire the artillery!" an artillery general shouted.
"Boom boom boom..." With the sound of cannons, the front row of soldiers in the Zhao army covered in artillery fell down like harvesting wheat.
Finally, in the face of the sharp lethality of the firearm, the Zhao army in front of him was in chaos.
Deng Yuan gritted his teeth and looked at this together. He had already expected that the war would be desperate. During the period of siege, he gradually understood the power of the firearms in the hands of the Western Expedition Army.
Niu Ben saw Zhao Jun's chaos, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At this time, he pulled out the sword around his waist and pointed it straight at Zhao Jun.
Suddenly, the charge was loud and the battle flags were rushing in the strong wind. The two-wing cavalry led by Qi Guangyi and Baimu took the lead in dispatching. The central army composed of the Western Expedition Army, the Huainan Army and the Yong Army took orderly steps and advanced forward like giant trees on the mountain.
"kill!"
"kill!"
Whenever he walked five steps away, the army shouted "kill", with a rainbow of momentum and calm.
The two sides were getting closer and closer, and at this time the cavalry on both wings also roared to fight, and the central army composed of a clamp gun of the Zhao army also moved forward steadily.
"Bang bang bang..."
Finally, the two armies met, and with the advantage of distance, the Western Expedition Army fired the first shot.
Before the Zhao army's musketeers could fire, they suffered heavy casualties and suddenly the formation became chaotic.
Although some of the conflict soldiers were still advancing, their formations could no longer pose a threat to the Western Expedition Army.
With the shooting of the Western Expedition Army, the remaining musketeers arrived at the shooting distance and began to shoot at the Western Expedition Army.
Scattered gunfires, and dozens of soldiers fell down from the Western Expedition Army.
The Western Expedition Army continued to move forward at this time. At a distance of fifty meters, the Western Expedition Army carried out another round of shooting, and suddenly the Zhao army fell down another large area.
This attack basically destroyed the Zhao army's musketeers, and the remaining musketeers immediately dispersed.
"kill!"
The distance of fifty meters had reached the distance between the two sides. The Western Expedition Army immediately picked up the bayonet. At this time, Zhao's sword and shield hands had already rushed towards them.
The dull rumbling sound rang through the valley, like the slam of the raging waves. The moment the sword collided, the moment they came into contact, made a fierce impact sound.
Bayonets and spears fought each other, sabers and scimitars flew away, and dense rain of arrows came overwhelmingly like locusts, and angrily shouts and screams before death filled the entire battlefield.
"King Zhao is still a little capable of training troops." Niu Ben looked at the entire battlefield and kept commanding the Western Expedition Army in the melee through flag language to change the direction of the attack and the formation changes.
Although he praised Zhao Jun, a smile that would win appeared on his face.
Under the bombardment of artillery, the Zhao army had lost a lot of troops. In addition to the shooting of musketeers, they lost one or two tenth of their troops before they even contacted the Zhao army.
At this time, the Zhao army was no longer able to do anything.
The Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry, known as the elite of the Zhao army, was also entangled by Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu. The long-term war made Qingzhou's cavalry all become veterans. At this time, they did not give in to the Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry. The two sides fought evenly and no one could take advantage of each other.
However, in this way, the Zhao army lost the cooperation of the Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry and collapsed faster and faster.
Under the attack of the coalition forces' absolute advantage, the central army quickly could not support it, and the soldiers began to disperse and flee.
"Mr. Wang, this is what you want to see." Deng Yuan rode on the horse, and the situation was hopeless, and he was powerless to turn the world back.
Wang Xi's face was pale, he was shocked and angry, "Why are the 100,000 people so unbeatable? These are all the elites of my Zhao army."
King Zhao told Deng Yuan not to withdraw on the other hand to win Juyong Pass, and on the other hand to be confident in the Zhao army.
Wang Xi was stunned by the scene of defeat in front of him.
"The Zhao army is an elite force, and the army of King Qi is not a vegetarian. I will remind Mr. Wang repeatedly, but Mr. Wang ignored it and insisted on fighting with them at Juyong Pass. The responsibility for defeat this time was all due to Mr. Wang."
"Nonsense, it's all your poor command!" Wang Xi was furious, but Deng Yuan no longer paid attention to him, but ordered the horn of retreat.
Wang Xi never dared to stop him at this time, so he got on Ma and fled to Yuanzhou together.
When the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry heard the sound of the horn, they immediately rode their horses and retreated. However, Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu kept chasing for five miles before returning to pursue the infantry in the Zhao army. They rode their horses back to Juyong Pass until the sun set.
At this time, King Chen Xinran of Huainan had already entered Juyong Pass first. After the great victory, they saw the troops stationed outside the city. It was enough for the small Juyong Pass to accommodate the Western Expedition Army.
"This great victory made me happy. I was happy when I thought of King Zhao's angry look, haha..." The King of Huainan laughed uncontrollably in Niu Ben's camp.
Cui Shangan said: "When King Zhao was in Chang'an, he said that he had many contemptuous words to his father, and this time he took revenge."
Chen Xinran echoed and laughed, and he said to Niu Ben: "General Niu is here on order this time, I don't know what the emperor's will do?"
