Iron Dynasty

On the official road of Yizhou covered with loess, a row of carriages pulling field guns is slowly advancing.

On the city wall, Lu Fei was watching the convoy with a telescope. Next to him was Luo Xin. It had been two days since they arrived in Yizhou. At this time, seeing the last batch of artillery arrive, Lu Fei breathed a sigh of relief. He said: Mummy, your artillerymen are really tortoises. I'll be grateful if you don't come here again.

Luo Xin rolled his eyes, You speak very lightly. This gun is four or five hundred pounds. You can try to pull one.

Okay, okay, I won't talk to you. Now that the field artillery has arrived, it's time to take Pengzhou City. Lu Fei said, Hehe, I must fight a beautiful battle this time, so as not to be shot by your firearms. The soldiers of the battalion were underestimated.

Luo Xin shook his head. Since the Qingzhou Army was equipped with firearms, this was the first time the two led the army independently. They understood what Xiao Ming meant. Now that the world is in chaos, Qingzhou may encounter multi-faceted battles. At this time, they need people who can fight well. General.

This time Xiao Ming sent the two to make it clear that he wanted to hand over all the battles in the direction of Wei to the two. The two were also very excited about this.

The two came down from the city wall quarreling all the way. At this time, the troops from the three prefectures in the Yizhou camp were training together. This time, the infantrymen of the firearms battalion were 20,000 people, and the 5,000 cavalry soldiers were transferred later. , The army that attacked Pengzhou this time consisted of 20,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry. For Qingzhou, the scale of this army was already very large. After all, when the barbarians fought in Jizhou last year, it was only this number of troops.

Straight back to the camp, Lu Fei dispatched the generals who participated in the siege this time.

After a while, more than 30 generals gathered in Lu Fei's camp. At this time Lu Fei said: Everyone, the field artillery has arrived, and the flintlock guns and plate armor have also been sent to the soldiers. It can be said that everything is ready now. According to the battle plan we made at the beginning, we will repair it today, and tomorrow we will attack Pengzhou City along the Bian River.

Luo Hong nodded, The soldiers are very fast, we should be caught off guard by the defenders of Pengzhou City, and quickly capture Pengzhou City.

Xiaowei Luo is right, this time we will divide our troops into two groups, one part will go down the Bian River by boat to first solve the navy in Pengzhou City, and the other part will be led by Luo Xin, starting from the official road and reaching the bottom of Pengzhou City, At that time, we will join forces and take Pengzhou City in one fell swoop. Lu Fei knocked on the table.

Yes, General Lu. The generals said.

This time, when Lu Fei led his troops on the expedition, Xiao Ming gave him the title of General of the Southern Expedition and gave him the Tiger Talisman, all of which enabled him to lead the army smoothly.

A plan was made, and the generals went back to prepare. The next day Lu Fei personally boarded the boat with 3,000 musketeers and went down the river, while Luo Xin took 5,000 cavalry and 17,000 infantry to Pengzhou City.

Yizhou is located in the southwest of Qidi, only a hundred miles away from Pengzhou City. Starting in the morning, Lu Fei arrived on the Bianshui River outside Pengzhou City in the afternoon.

Looking at Pengzhou City, which was built near the water, Lu Fei let out a sneer. In his opinion, although the folk customs of Pengzhou City are sturdy, he will feel scared when facing soldiers with sturdy firearms.

When the three battleships slowly approached, the city walls of Pengzhou suddenly became a mess, and now the soldiers in Wei and Qi are already aware of it.

In the past two days, even the eldest son of the Mi family, Mi Wenyi, has returned to Pengzhou City to prepare for the battle. It can be said that the soldiers of Pengzhou City have always been nervous. Now that the three battleships full of soldiers appeared, they immediately understood that they should come. coming.

Enemy attack, enemy attack.

The soldiers on the city wall shouted, and at the same time, some soldiers quickly went to the crossbow and aimed the crossbow at the forward warship, while some soldiers went down the city wall to report the incident.

At this time, in the Mi Mansion in Pengzhou City, Mi Wenyi was feasting on the banquet of the contemporary great clan. This time he was assigned by the King of Wei to Pengzhou City to guard the city in person, so as soon as he arrived in Pengzhou City, he invited the local clan to discuss the matter together.

While everyone was enjoying singing and dancing, eating, drinking, and having fun, a general suddenly broke in and said to Mi Wenyi: Mi Changshi, three battleships full of soldiers appeared outside the city, probably the army of King Qi.

The army of King Qi.

How come so quickly.

Is there really going to be a war now?

... Everyone was talking.

Mi Wenyi's eyes narrowed, and he said to the general, How many people are there?

There are less than 1,000 soldiers on the battleship, but the last general thought that there must be soldiers hidden in the cabin. It should be between 2,000 and 3,000. The general said.

There are only 3,000 people. I have 50,000 elite guards in Pengzhou City, and there are more than 30,000 private soldiers in various tribes. The enemy soldiers are not to be feared. An old man at the banquet said that he was Pengzhou City. The head of the Lu family, the second largest family.

Others echoed: That's right, these three thousand people are not enough for us to stuff our teeth, and this King Qi has underestimated our Pengzhou.

At this time, a young man said loudly: Mi Changshi, I have more than 30 warships of the Pengzhou Navy, why don't we send the navy to sink these three warships in the river? feed the fish.

Different from the optimism of these local clans, Mi Wenyi said: You must not underestimate King Qi's army. The King Qi's defeat of the barbarians in the battle of Cangzhou and Jizhou is enough to show the strength of his army. This time they just sent these soldiers here. I'm afraid it's not arrogance, but confidence that these soldiers can take Pengzhou City.

There were still some people at the banquet who were very calm, and they nodded in agreement.

Mi Wenyi took the opportunity to say: It's just that the King of Wei and the King of Qi are at odds now, and this Pengzhou City is a battleground for the military. Now that King Qi's troops and horses appear here, they must be trying to capture Pengzhou City. Is there any way for us big clan to survive?

Three years ago, this King Qi slaughtered the local nobles. We all remember it clearly. If he captures Pengzhou City this time, he will definitely not give us a way to survive.

That's right, this time we must fight to the death.

That's right, if this city is destroyed, it's better to defend Pengzhou City. Now I will assemble the Zhang family's tunes, said one person.

I'll go as well.

...

Mi Wenyi's face was calm, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. With just one sentence, he made the local clan share the same hatred as himself.

After coughing, he said, Everyone, since this is the case, I hope you can help us this time. This time, our Mi family will send all the generals, and we will swear not to let King Qi succeed.

Mi Changshi Dayi, let's go back and assemble the part, but let's see if this King Qi's soldiers are strong, or our soldiers are strong.
