Chapter 671

Deng yuan looked at Juyong Pass in front of him with a complicated look.

Half a month ago, he was still in Bashu, leading the army to fight against the king of Shu, but in the twinkling of an eye, he came to Juyongguan.

However, after understanding the current situation, he realized that the king of Zhao was not allowed to continue to attack the king of Shu, because if he did not stop the army of the king of Qi, he was afraid that the state of Zhao would soon be destroyed.

"Dong Dong..."

The battle drums were beating, and the soldiers who got the order rushed to Juyong Pass with the ladder.

Deng yuan knew this very well. However, when the gunfire came from the north of Juyong Pass, he still chose to attack the city, because it must be the barbarians who launched the attack.

Even when he was in Bashu, he had heard about the prestige of the Qi King's army. In his opinion, no matter he or the soldiers provided by the barbarians at that time, he could not defeat Xiao Ming alone.

Only the north and the South can win, so he chose to attack the city not to break the city, but to contain some troops in Juyong Pass, so that they could not respond to the barbarian attack in time. Of course, it would be better if he could break the city in one fell swoop.

"I didn't expect that one day Ben Jiang would attack the king of Qi with the barbarians. It's ridiculous and pathetic." There was a trace of sadness and indignation in Deng yuan's eyes.

The man beside Deng Fei is his deputy general Cao Kun. Hearing the words, Cao Kun said: "the barbarians are ambitious. It's not a sin to help the barbarians win Juyong Pass this time. It's just that it's hard for the king to disobey his orders. We can only honor the orders of King Zhao."

Deng Fei sighed. He always supported the king of Zhao and was very loyal to him. This complaint was just dissatisfaction with the alliance between the king of Zhao and the barbarians.

After all, he had fought with the barbarians several times, and most of his generals and soldiers were killed and injured.

"Boom boom..."

In the beating of battle drums, the city head of Juyongguan suddenly burst out a roar, and the black shells in the fire and smoke rushed to the soldiers who were rushing to Juyongguan.

The shell landed and rolled like lightning. The soldiers of King Zhao screamed when the shell bounced. Dozens of soldiers were killed and injured in a straight line.

Seeing this scene, Deng yuan's face was livid, but this round of shooting would kill and injure hundreds of soldiers.

"Boom boom..."

The artillery fired again, and there was another bloody storm on the ground.

Cao Kun said at this time: "general, the king of Qi's army has always been good at firearms. If it goes on like this, the soldiers will only die more."

Deng yuan was indifferent, he said: "which war doesn't need to be filled with human life, the only way to deal with the army of the king of Qi. This siege not only contained the forces in the city, but also consumed their gunpowder and shells. This time, the army of the king of Qi fought from Yunzhou to Qingzhou, and the ammunition supply and food and grass would not be sufficient. In addition, a lot of ammunition was consumed in Qingzhou, so it's very important At that time, there must not be much ammunition stored in Juyong Pass. When their artillery has no shells, and their muskets have no gunpowder and bullets, it will be very easy to win Juyong Pass. "

"The general is far sighted, but he didn't think of that." Cao Kun laughed.

Deng yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. The soldiers were rushing to Juyong Pass one after another. One wave was beaten back, the second wave continued to rush forward, and then the third wave

In the North City, more and more barbarian slave soldiers boarded the wall. Niu Zhen and Lu Fei were more and more anxious. It was only a matter of time before the north city was captured.

When he was anxious, suddenly a large number of cavalry soldiers with silver breastplates and sabers rushed to the wall.

Qi Guangyi appeared in the public's view at this time. He said to Niu Zhen, "general, Qingzhou cavalry come to support."

"What are you cavalry doing? This is the battlefield." Niu Zhen said with a frown.

Qi Guangyi discontented: "general, our cavalry is also a soldier. When we get on the horse, we are cavalry. When we get off the horse, we will not lose to the musketeers."

How long does it take to train a cavalry? If you are finished, will the emperor spare us? " Lu Fei also said.

Qi Guangyi said: "what time is it now? If Juyong Pass is lost, no one can escape the knife on his head. He will not be a coward, and his soldiers will not be a coward. At that time, if the emperor blames him, he will bear it alone."

"To bear is to bear." Niu Zhen happily looked at Qi Guangyi. The generals of Qingzhou army were all bloody men, "go on!"

Qi Guangyi was overjoyed. He said to his soldiers, "kill me! Let the Musketeers see the strength of our Qingzhou cavalry. "

"Kill!" with Qi Guangyi's angry voice, 20000 Qingzhou chest cavalry rushed to the wall, and the situation on the wall began to reverse.

On the wall, the barbarian slave soldiers kept falling on the saber.

In the face of more and more soldiers wearing silver breastplates, the barbarians dropped three or four thousand corpses in another round of attack and temporarily stopped the attack.

By this time, the sun was setting. From morning to evening, both sides had been fighting for a whole day.

Wiping the blood on his face, Lu Fei said: "general, the Zhao army in Nancheng has also stopped attacking."

Smell speech Niu Zhen finally relaxed, he said to Lufei: "strengthen the guard, prevent the barbarians from playing Yin moves.""Yes, general." Luffy answered.

After a pause, Niu Zhen said, "let the soldiers and artillery count the ammunition immediately."

After explaining this, Niu Zhen went to Juyongguan camp. After a while, all the generals returned.

"Thanks to the general's ammunition supply this time, the Buddha will consume all the ammunition he carries today."

Luo Xin went into the camp and said.

Ye Qingyun said: "but if we continue to consume it like this, I'm afraid the ammunition brought by the general will not last for a few days."

Niu Zhen nodded, "most of the ammunition produced by the military workshop has been brought here. Originally, this batch of ammunition was used to win the king of Zhao at one stroke, but it didn't occur to me."

"Is that the only point of most ammunition?" Rosin gaped.

Niu Zhen sighed, "you are not in charge. You don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Now the supply of saltpeter, iron and lead can't keep up with the demand, and the consumption of ammunition is too fast. Now you need to save some money."

Lu Fei and other generals were only responsible for fighting, but they never considered the shortage of ammunition.

With a wry smile, Luo Hong said: "I said that the firearm and artillery were just silver. The silver spent by the emperor to set up the firearm camp almost emptied the Treasury. No matter how rich Qingzhou is, it will be poor in the last two years."

Niu Zhen looks at Luo Hong admiringly. Luo Hong was once a general of the firearms camp. Naturally, he knows how to spend money on ammunition.

"No wonder the emperor is eager to end the war in the north. That's the reason." Lu Fei said, "if the fighting goes on like this, the guns in the soldiers' hands will burn sticks."
