Iron Dynasty

On the deck of the Qingzhou battleship, Lu Fei was observing the arrangement of soldiers on the city wall of Pengzhou with a telescope.

When he saw these soldiers with swords in their hands, he felt a little more at ease, because there was not a single artillery gun on the Pengzhou City. This arrangement made him boldly let the battleship cruise along the Bianshui River in front of Pengzhou City. , for him as long as there is no artillery can not threaten the three warships in the river.

Are you afraid?

Lu Fei joked that the soldiers around the same team said that in the Southern Expedition Army, only the Cangzhou Army had been on the battlefield. Most of the soldiers of the Laizhou and Yizhou Army had never seen blood, and the Firearms Battalion had only attacked in Chang'an. The imperial city has never encountered a real cruel encounter.

Not afraid.

The young soldier beside Lu Fei said that the soldier under his tender face was only sixteen years old.

Well, you kind of kid, I was a year younger than you when I was going to fight. When you go to the battlefield, as long as you think about killing the enemy, you won't be afraid. Lu Fei laughed.

The soldiers on the battleship looked at Lu Fei admiringly. Although Lu Fei’s official position in Fengguo was not as good as Niuben’s, he was famous in the army. Therefore, after learning that Lu Fei was in command of the army, the soldiers felt a little bit in their hearts. Excited, the fact that Lu Fei three thousand iron cavalry defeated the barbarians was still a good story in the army.

Hearing the words, the knuckles holding the flintlock gun turned white from the force, and then nodded fiercely.

General, do you want to give Pengzhou's army a disgrace to let them know how powerful we are. At this time, a colonel behind Lu Fei suggested.

Lu Fei nodded, Attack the city first. These Pengzhou soldiers have never seen artillery and muskets. We will let them understand what kind of army they will face, and now immediately order the battleship to go to the city gate.

Yes, General!

The Colonel got the order and turned to leave. After a while, the battleship started heading towards the gate of Pengzhou City along the river.

In Pengzhou City.

Mi Wenyi, who learned that King Qi's army was attacking, quickly reached a consensus with the big clan in Pengzhou City. At this time, the Mi family's banquet had ended, and all the clan heads returned to their homes to convene their tribes to assist the Pengzhou army in defending the city.

Mi Wenyi also put on a suit of armor and headed towards the city wall. When he boarded the city wall under the protection of the soldiers, he saw three battleships coming towards the city gate.

At this moment, he couldn't help frowning. In his eyes, the three battleships were no different from the three merchant ships, and the soldiers on board were only about 2,000 people. Could it be that King Qi's army was going to use these 2,000 people in the city? Landing and siege on the land in front of the gate?

Mi Changshi, all the rope bridges on the Bian River have been demolished.

Mi Kuang, the governor of Pengzhou, said to Mi Wenyi that this Mi Kuang is also a member of the Mi family, because the Mi family is powerful and the king of Wei highly values ​​the Mi family, and the local government and military are mostly people who rely on the Mi family. In fact, the military and political power in Pengzhou City was actually controlled by the Mi family.

Mi Wenyi glanced at the empty Bianshui River. There used to be a cable bridge extending to the other side facing Pengzhou City. Usually, people and merchants entered Pengzhou City through the cable bridge. The river is the natural moat of Pengzhou City.

Well, now let the soldiers prepare rolling stones, kerosene and other items to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking the city. Mi Wenyi said, now these three battleships are very eye-catching in his eyes.

It would be very difficult for King Qi's army to cross the 100-meter Bianshui River to reach the city without these three battleships, but now these three battleships have provided convenience for King Qi's soldiers.

Mi Kuang nodded, just like Mi Wenyi, he also had some thoughts on these three ships, he said: Mi Changshi, it is better to send the Lu family's navy to sink these three ships directly, as long as you control the Bian River. Unless King Qi's army grows wings, the river will not be able to attack the city at all.

Mi Wenyi said, The Lu family has long since called for battleships to prepare for battle. Now we just need to watch the excitement on the city wall.

What Mi Changshi said was that as long as Lu Jiaken contributed, it would not be easy to take down these three ships. Mi Kuang looked at the three warships in the river with disdain.

Hearing this, Mi Wenyi frowned. He was a little worried. He served under King Wei, but he knew that King Qi had a kind of battleship with artillery. When he learned that there were three battleships, he was first shocked, but now he saw these three battleships. , he didn't see any artillery from above.

Mi Wenyi's face was a little gloomy when he thought of the artillery from the battleship. The number of artillery and arquebuses that King Wei obtained from Qingzhou was very small. Now these artillery and firearms were left to the army of Jinling City by King Wei, and they did not take any advantage of it.

Just as he was thinking, the figure of the Pengzhou Navy appeared in the direction of the three battleships, and thirty Pengzhou battleships were coming towards the three battleships in Qingzhou.

Seeing this scene, Mi Wenyi felt a little at ease. Although the size of the Pengzhou battleship was not very large, it was more expensive in number. These two-deck battleships in the shape of a crescent moon were filled with soldiers with swords and bows and arrows.

As soon as the Pengzhou Navy appeared, the soldiers on the city wall immediately cheered.

Hit him, hit him hard!

Sink them in the river to feed the fish.

Kill them without leaving a piece of armor.

...

These Huhe soldiers were either surnamed Mi or Lu, and some belonged to other big surnames, belonging to the clan in the big clan in Pengzhou City. In recent years, they have also been influenced by the big clan, and they are full of vigilance against the king of Qi in the north.

When the Pengzhou navy appeared, the three Qingzhou warships suddenly adjusted their direction and aimed their sides at the Pengzhou navy that was heading towards them.

On the battleship, Lu Fei did not pay attention to these intruding navy officers. The battle on the water was naturally commanded by admirals. He was in charge of the land battle. When there was cheers on the city wall, he said: Where is the rifle team? ?

Yes, General. Sixty soldiers with rifled guns behind Lu Fei shouted in unison.

Lu Fei nodded. There was a 100-meter-long beach in front of the city gate of Pengzhou, followed by the Bian Shui. Now the distance from his position to the city wall is only 150 meters.

Give me a few fights and see if they are still rampant. Lu Fei's temper was somewhat restrained, but he was still violent.

The soldiers equipped with rifled guns immediately began to reload when they heard the words, and then they aimed their guns at the soldiers on the city wall.

Lu Fei was scanning the city wall with his binoculars. When he saw the two generals standing next to each other, he suddenly said, You should go in this direction.

Before Lu Fei left this time, Xiao Ming specially asked Lu Fei to bring these soldiers with rifled guns and conical bullets. According to Xiao Ming's words, even if they miss a hit, they can scare a few. .
