Iron Dynasty

The soldiers entered Tongguan in neat steps.

In the Guan, Sun Lirong had come down from the city wall and looked at the soldiers of Chen Guodong who had been punished in military discipline. Sun Lirong suddenly felt a little strange.

But this strange feeling was quickly replaced by the desire for silver.

"General Chen, King Zhao will certainly reward you for sending him so much silver." Sun Lirong laughed, but in his heart he thought about how to occupy the silver.

Chen Guodong and Ye Qingyun had entered the pass, Chen Guodong still smiled flatly, but Ye Qingyun's eyes flashed cold.

The Qingzhou soldiers who came with him this time were all elite veterans, although there were only 5,000, but it was enough to seize the city gate.

At this time, Sun Lirong hadn't noticed the danger, he and Chen Guodong were greeting each other as they walked to the box.

Just when Sun Lirong stretched out his hand to open the box, Ye Qingyun suddenly attacked, drew the saber around his waist and pierced Sun Lirong's heart from behind.

This sword was so deadly that Sun Lirong fell to the ground without even screaming. The other Zhao Jun soldiers were shocked when they saw it and rushed towards Ye Qingyun and Chen Guodong.

"kill!"

The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army who entered the city rushed to the soldiers of Zhao Jun at the same time. Although they have been killing the enemy with firearms, their melee ability has never been reduced.

Moreover, the tempering of the war made them rich in experience, and every one of them lacked useless tricks, but every one of them was fatal.

Sun Lirong was dead. This made the soldiers at the gate of the city a little confused. After fighting with the Qingzhou Army, they were beaten back again and again.

The soldiers of Zhao Jun were shocked and kept retreating into the pass.

At this moment, Ye Qingyun lit the fireworks, and with a loud explosion, colorful flames exploded in the sky.

It was almost dusk, and in a forest five miles away from Tongguan, Niu Ben saw the fireworks in the direction of Tongguan.

At this time, he said to Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu: "You lead the cavalry to help immediately, and this general will lead you!"

"Yes, General."

Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu said that the two of them led the cavalry on their horses and came to Tongguan.

Niu Ben immediately led the army to follow.

When he arrived, Ye Qingyun had successfully controlled the city gate and the city wall, while Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu quickly controlled other city gates by relying on the advantages of the cavalry.

"General, Tongguan defender Sun Lirong is dead, the defending army in the city without a leader is not our opponent at all, and has been defeated now." Ye Qingyun said.

Niu Ben nodded, Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu led more cavalry than this defender, and there was no reason why they could not be captured.

He asked Lu Fei to lead the soldiers into the city to further destroy the Zhao Jun in the pass. At the same time, he said to King Huainan and Chen Xinran: "His Royal Highness, General Chen, if you win Tongguan, Chang'an is right in front of you. I hope the two can help each other and take Chang'an in one fell swoop. "

King Huainan and Chen Xinran now admire the Western Expedition Army, and in their eyes this is really an elite division.

The two arched their hands at Niu Ben, and said in unison: "Only the general's orders."

Niu Ben nodded. This time Tongguan was able to be taken down so easily because their plan was successful, but the most important point was the problem of the defenders of Tongguan.

If it was before, this Tongguan could be stationed at least 100,000 soldiers, but now the huge Tongguan only has 30,000 soldiers.

First at Hulao Pass and then at Tong Pass, Wang Zhao's weakness was seen in his eyes, and now it was the opportunity to destroy Wang Zhao in one fell swoop.

The army entered the city, and the remaining defenders in the city were quickly cleaned up. That night Niu Ben once again concentrated his generals to make plans for attacking Chang'an.

Unlike usual, Niu Ben's offensive plan was quite bold. He ordered Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu to lead the cavalry to Chang'an first.

If Changan's defenses were weak, he would take the opportunity to harass. At the same time, he asked Qi Guangyi and Baimu to get in touch with the Chang'an tycoons. By now, if these tycoons could not see the situation clearly, they could only say they were too stupid.

But in Niu Ben's view, as long as Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu's cavalry arrive, this will be the last straw to crush King Zhao.

Because when the time comes, the Chang'an wealthy clan will inevitably face them unanimously against this rebellion.

...

Changan.

The sudden increase of soldiers on the street made the people a little uneasy, and the peaceful atmosphere in Chang'an gradually became a little weird in the past month.

And the looting of Luoyang City by Zhao Jun made them very worried, for fear that they would end up with the people of Luoyang.

"Father, the Qi army is coming in fiercely, and the children always feel that this Chang'an is not a place to stay for a long time, it is better to looted the money and take the people back."

Zhao Yuanliang persuaded him in the palace study.

Wang Zhao was obsessed with stroking the exquisite ceramics in the study. This is an official kiln porcelain that only emperors can enjoy. But now he wants to abandon all this, he is not reconciled.

"Hmph, if it weren't for Deng Yuan and Wang Xi's incompetence, why would this king be so embarrassed now!" Zhao Wang was furious.

Zhao Yuanliang naturally shirk the defeat of Juyongguan. In fact, he was the main commander of Juyongguan.

But he was greedy for life and fear of death, so he never went to this battlefield and stayed in Wonju.

Although he hated Xiao Ming very much, he was a bit afraid of Xiao Ming's army in his heart. He had been lingering fears during his last trip to Qingzhou.

"Father Wang said that it's just that Wang Xi is in prison. Deng Yuan is still useful. I hope my father will think twice."

Zhao Wangwen nodded, "You have some truth, so let Deng Yuan stay in the army to make atonement."

Zhao Yuanliang breathed a sigh of relief, and he continued; "Is it just that the father is still going to stay here in Chang'an? After all, this is not a place to stay for long."

Wang Zhao already had the intention to withdraw from Chang'an in his heart, and Chang'an's treasury was looted by him, except for this palace, he has nothing to miss.

It's just that there is still a trace of luck in his heart~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If King Qi does not move westward, he may not have to withdraw here, after all, who wants to leave this place of flowers.

"Now I'm only waiting for news from Tongguan, but you have to be prepared. If the news is unfavorable, you will immediately burn Chang'an and force the people to move to Yuanzhou." There was a fierce flash in Zhao Wang's eyes.

He doesn't care about the rise and fall of the Great Yu Kingdom. In his eyes, he only has his own kingship. For this reason, he can destroy everything or betray everything.

"Yes, father, my son and minister will prepare now." Zhao Yuanliang was delighted, and like Zhao Wang, even if he could not obtain the imperial power of the Great Yu, he still wanted to enjoy the glory and wealth in his own country.

After a pause, he remembered something and suddenly asked; "Father, what about the thirteenth princes?"

"Leave the thirteen princes to Xiao Ming. This king wants to see how he treats a two-year-old prince." Zhao Wang sneered.

Zhao Yuanliang laughed at the same time, then he retired and left the palace, but his and Zhao Wang's pride came to an abrupt end the next day.

Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu led a large number of cavalry outside the city of Chang'an.
