Iron Dynasty

Ge Yiren?

In the Juyongguan camp, Niu Ben was holding a letter in his hand. This was the secret letter that Lu Fei had just received.

When he was about to leave the city, a sneaky servant outside the city aroused his vigilance, because he suspected that this person was a meticulous work, he immediately sent someone to take this person down.

Unexpectedly, this servant handed a secret letter to him, saying that they were sent by Ge Yiren.

General, who is this Ge Yiren? Niu Ben didn't know anything about the officials in Chang'an.

Niu Ben put the secret letter on the candle and burned it to ashes. At this time, he said: This Ge Yiren is from the Ge family in Chang'an. It is said that he has some personal friends with Mr. Feige, and once served as Zuo Pushe in the court.

Zuo Pushe? Lu Fei sighed, This is a first-rank officer, a high-ranking minister.

Luo Hong was a general in Chang'an and was naturally familiar with Ge Yiren. He said, This Ge Yiren is very familiar with the wind and the rudder. Now he has sent the news of King Zhao's intention to attack Juyongguan, which must be for the sake of opportunism in the future.

Niu Ben said, Ignoring how Ge Yiren is, if it is true, we must take precautions early. Now that King Liang and King Yan are dead, he may not be able to sit still. At this time, he will inevitably collude with the barbarians and jump over the wall.

Yes, General. The generals said in unison.

After a pause, Niu Ben continued: Baimu, you immediately send out hunting cavalry to find the location of King Zhao's troops, and the rest will stick to Juyongguan.

The generals were ordered to leave.

At this time, Niu Ben asked Lu Fei to count the number of soldiers in Juyongguan and deploy the defenses in the city.

In order to take Juyong Pass this time, Lu Fei just brought 30,000 elites, plus Qi Guangyi and Baimu's cavalry, a total of 70,000, and the rest of the soldiers were in Gyeongju City.

Now that King Liang is dead, there is no point in attacking Qingzhou City. King Zhao sent troops to Juyongguan at this time, undoubtedly after careful consideration.

King Liang and King Yan are dead, and the only people who can help him now are the barbarians. If Juyongguan is lost, the barbarians can only attack Xiao Ming's army through his feudal kingdom.

Wonju.

This is an important military town in Zhao State adjacent to Liang State. It is located 200 li northwest of Chang'an. From here, 180 li to the west is Qingzhou, and 150 li to the northeast is Juyongguan. Since King Qi's army invaded Liangdi, the place has become more lively than ever, and a large number of soldiers have entered the city from all over the Zhao state.

His Royal Highness, now there are 120,000 soldiers and horses assembled in the city, including 20,000 musketeers, 30,000 to 50,000 cavalrymen, and 50,000 archers and swordsmen.

In the Yuanzhou camp, a group of generals from Zhao State gathered, Zhao Yuanliang sat on the main seat and listened to the generals' opinions on the war.

Zheng Chengwen has sent someone to bring news. He said that the 100,000 army lent to him by the Golden Horde is still under his command. At that time, we can attack Juyongguan from the inside, and they can attack Juyongguan from the outside. Under the diplomatic attack, those who rely on Juyongguan alone must not be able to withstand it. Zhao Yuanliang said in a deep voice.

This time, King Qi's army fought all the way from Yunzhou City to Qingzhou, which made the officials and generals of Chang'an very terrified.

Because this Gyeongju City is less than two hundred miles north of Chang'an City, it only takes a few days for King Qi's army to arrive at Chang'an City from Qingzhou City.

In the face of King Qi's pressing step by step, King Zhao had no choice but to send troops from Bashu to Yuanzhou City, ready to attack Juyongguan and Qingzhou City to prevent King Qi's army from going south.

I just didn't expect that Zheng Chengwen suddenly sent a messenger to come, and the two hit it off, ready to attack Juyongguan.

While winning Juyongguan, they also opened up the passage to the south for the Golden Horde.

His Royal Highness, there are only 30,000 soldiers of the King of Qi in Juyongguan, and the attack on Juyongguan with 200,000 will surely be a success. One descended and said.

Zhao Yuanliang narrowed his eyes, he said: The soldiers are very fast, General Deng has led 50,000 horses to Juyongguan first, and you will immediately go to help, and General Zhao will immediately lead 20,000 black armored cavalry to Qingzhou City to stop Qingzhou City. The army supports Juyongguan.

Yes, Your Highness.

The generals received the order and immediately went back to prepare. On the same day, the two armies set off from Yuanzhou City and went to Qingzhou City and Juyongguan respectively.

Three days later, the army of King Zhao arrived at Juyongguan, and they saw the soldiers of King Qi that covered the city wall.

General, they are here. Lu Fei put down the telescope in his hand.

In the sky, some sword and shield warriors in black armor first appeared in everyone's field of vision, in addition to some archers.

Among the soldiers were some horse-drawn artillery pieces.

This is not the first time Lu Fei has seen such a scene. King Zhao's army is densely packed, like the ants crawling out of the hole when the nest is smashed. The sword stood up straight, shouting morale-boosting slogans, which came from afar like rolling thunder.

Don't underestimate King Zhao's soldiers and horses. Among the many vassal kings, King Zhao has always been known for his ability to conquer and fight well, and this time the leader of the army is Deng Yuan, a general of the State of Zhao. Niu Ben's expression was solemn.

In the past three days, they have been sending people to investigate, and they have basically figured out the details of this army that only departed from Wonju.

Hearing the name of Deng Yuan, Luo Hong, Luo Xin and the others' faces were even more solemn than Xiao Ming. This Deng Fei came from a general, and once led the Zhao army to defeat the invading barbarian army many times, with few defeats.

This time, the king of Zhao appointed Deng Yuan as the main general to lead more than 100,000 soldiers to attack, and they had to play the spirit of twelve points.

After all, there are only more than 70,000 people in Juyongguan, and they also noticed the movement on the grassland. Zheng Chengwen did not go far, but kept waiting for the opportunity.

This time they may face a war of numbers.

Luo Xin, when the time comes, the artillery will hit this general hard. Niu Ben instructed Luo Xin. After several wars, Niu Ben became more and more fond of artillery, because artillery has a long range and great lethality. Can kill a lot of enemies.

,

Yes. Luo Xin shouted. Although there were only 30,000 musketeers at Juyongguan this time, almost all the artillerymen of the western expedition were concentrated in Juyongguan, and more than 300 field guns were enough for the army of King Zhao who attacked this time. a pot.

The division of labor for each general was clear, and all that was left for everyone was to wait, and as King Zhao's army approached, the atmosphere of war became more and more intense.

Dong dong...

In front of Juyong Pass was an open area of ​​Yima Pingchuan. The roar of the marching steps of King Zhao's army continued to echo. Three miles away from Juyong Pass, King Zhao's army suddenly stopped.

Then King Zhao's army began to set up camp around Juyongguan, which meant that they would spend some time with Juyongguan.
