Chapter 674 Defeat Zhao Jun

High winds swept up the dust on the battlefield, and the sky was rendered yellow.

The coalition army composed of Huainan Army, Yong Army and Xizheng Army marched step by step towards Zhao Army's camp.

Deng Yuan concentrated 50,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry on both flanks, a total of 100,000 troops in front of the camp.

Suddenly, a rushing charge horn sounded.

This voice came from Juyongguan, which was the signal to launch an attack on the Zhao army.

Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu each led 20,000 troops to protect the flanks. The army formation in the middle was composed of musketeers from the Western Expedition Army, while the Huainan Army and Yong Army were responsible for hand-to-hand combat.

They had an advantage in numbers, and the morale of the Western Expedition Army was high. Whether it was the Western Expedition Army, the Huainan Army or the Yong Army, all the soldiers were full of the belief that they would win.

"Dong dong dong..."

The drums of the Zhao army were beating, and one hundred thousand soldiers of the Zhao army marched to the west in an orderly manner.

Luo Xin had dispatched some artillerymen to set up artillery positions outside the city. When the two armies approached, these artillerymen continued to pour artillery shells into the Zhao army's army formation.

"what……"

There were screams in the Zhao army, and the artillery of the Western Expedition Army shot and wounded the soldiers at the same time.

In the face of the artillery attack, Deng Yuan had no way to do anything. At this time, if he dispersed into all formations, he would inevitably be massacred by the dense formation of the opponent.

It is a principle that every general understands that the battle formation cannot be chaotic on the battlefield.

It was just the beginning for Zhao Jun. When the distance between them was 400 meters, the artillery suddenly replaced the cannonballs with grape projectiles.

This kind of shell has the ability to kill the enemy on a large scale on the battlefield, but the range is only four or five hundred meters.

"Fire!" an artillery general shouted.

"Boom boom boom..." With the sound of gunfire, the soldiers in the front row of the Zhao Army who were covered by the gunfire fell down like they were reaping wheat.

Finally, facing the sharp killing ability of firearms, Zhao Jun in front was in chaos.

Deng Yuan gritted his teeth and looked at this together. He had already expected that this war would be hopeless. During the siege of the city, he gradually understood the power of firearms in the hands of the Western Expedition Army.

Zhao Jun's confusion was seen by Niu Ben, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, he pulled out the matching sword from his waist and pointed it at Zhao Jun.

Suddenly, the horns of the charge blared loudly, and the battle flags rattled in the strong wind. The two-winged cavalry led by Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu took the lead. Push forward like a giant tree in the mountains.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Every time they walked five steps away, the army shouted "kill", with an aura like a rainbow, calm and unhurried.

The two sides were getting closer and closer. At this time, the two-wing cavalry also roared and attacked, and the Zhao army's central army composed of arquebuses also moved forward steadily.

"Bang bang bang..."

Finally, the two armies met, and with the advantage of distance, the Western Expedition Army fired first.

Zhao Jun's musketeers suffered heavy casualties before they had time to fire, and the formation suddenly became chaotic.

Although some of the arquebusiers continued to advance, the entire formation could no longer pose a threat to the Western Expedition.

Facing the fire of the West Expedition Army, the remaining musketeers began to shoot at the West Expedition Army after reaching the shooting distance.

Sporadic gunshots rang out, and the Western Expedition Army just fell down dozens of soldiers.

At this time, the Western Expedition Army continued to move forward. At a distance of 50 meters, the Western Expedition Army fired another round, and suddenly the Zhao Army fell down a lot.

This blow basically crippled Zhao Jun's musketeers, and the remaining musketeers dispersed immediately.

"kill!"

The distance of fifty meters has reached the distance between the two sides to charge, and the West Expedition Army immediately took up the bayonet. At this time, Zhao Jun's sword and shield hand was already rushing towards them.

The dull sound of rumbling resounded through the valley, like a raging wave hitting the table, and the collision of swords and swords made a fierce crashing sound at the moment of contact.

The bayonet and the spear collided, the saber and the machete flew, and the dense rain of arrows was overwhelming like locusts. The screams of rage and the screams before death filled the entire battlefield.

"King Zhao still has some ability to train troops." Niu Ben looked around the entire battlefield, and constantly commanded the Western Expedition Army in the melee through semaphores to change the direction of the attack and the formation of the formation.

Although his mouth was a compliment to Zhao Jun, there was already a triumphant smile on his face.

Under the bombardment of the artillery, the Zhao army had already lost a lot of troops and horses. In addition to the shooting of the musketeers, they had lost one-tenth of their men and horses before they had contact with the Zhao army.

At this time, the Zhao army was unable to fight.

The Xuanjia iron cavalry, known as the elite of the Zhao army, was also entangled by Qi Guangyi and Baimu at this time. The long-term war made the Qingzhou cavalry all become veterans. Evenly divided, no one can take advantage of the other.

Only in this way, Zhao Jun lost the cooperation of the black armored cavalry, and it collapsed faster and faster.

The Chinese army was quickly unable to support the attack of the absolute superiority of the coalition forces, and the soldiers began to disperse and flee.

"Wang Shilang, this is what you want to see." Deng Yuan rode on the horse, the situation was over, and he was unable to return to the sky.

Wang Xi's face was pale, and he was shocked and angry, "Why are 100,000 people so unscathed? These are the elites of our Zhao army."

The King of Zhao asked Deng Yuan not to withdraw. On the one hand, it was to win Juyongguan, and on the other hand, it was his confidence in Zhao Jun.

Wang Xi was a little dumbfounded at the scene of the defeat in front of him.

"The Zhao army is elite, and King Qi's army is not a vegetarian. I would have reminded Wang Shilang repeatedly, but Wang Shilang turned a deaf ear and insisted on fighting with them at Juyong Pass. The responsibility for this defeat is the Wang Shilang. of."

"Bullshit, it's all your Deng Yuan's poor command!" Wang Xi was furious, but Deng Yuan ignored him, and instead ordered the horn to retreat.

Wang Xi didn't dare to stop him at this time, and he got on the horse and fled in the direction of Yuanzhou together with Deng Yuan.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the black armored cavalry immediately retreated on their horses, but Qi Guangyi and Baimu held on to them and chased after them for five miles before returning to pursue the infantry in the Zhao army. They did not ride their horses back to Juyongguan until the sunset.

At this time, the king of Huainan, Chen Xinran had already entered Juyongguan first. After the victory, they saw troops and horses stationed outside the city, and the small Juyongguan was enough to accommodate the Western Expedition Army.

"This great victory makes this king very happy. I am happy when I think of King Zhao's furious appearance, haha..." King Huainan in Niuben's camp laughed out loud.

Cui Shangan said: "When King Zhao was in Chang'an, he said a lot of contempt for his father, and this time he has taken revenge."

Chen Xinran echoed and laughed, and he said to Niu Ben, "General Niu is here on orders this time, do you know what the emperor's will is?"

Niu Ben put away his smile, picked up his sword, pointed at Chang'an and said, "Now we should pursue the victory, break through the Hulao Pass, and enter the city of Chang'an! This is the emperor's will for the last commander."
