Iron Dynasty

Bang bang bang...

The sound of muskets covered the slaughter of Pengzhou soldiers rushing over.

After entering the city gate, the Qingzhou army did not love to fight, but attacked from both sides under the command of the general to capture the city gate, and at the same time opened up a battlefield for the follow-up troops.

The soldiers of the Pengzhou army were still rushing, but there was obviously no rules to speak of. Mi Kuang was dead. The Pengzhou army was like headless flies and didn't know what to do. They just instinctively rushed to the enemy in their eyes again and again.

It's just that this kind of blind charge quickly turned into a rout in the volley of muskets. Unlike the Qidi army who had seen blood on the battlefield, the army in Pengzhou City had been at ease for too long. Even if the soldiers were sturdy, the real battlefield was far away. Not a street fight.

After a short period of blood, the corpses and blood on the ground made them realize what death is? Especially those soldiers from poor families, they have no reason to fight for these rich families at all.

Now that the Qingzhou army broke into the city, they only wanted to escape and save their lives.

A Pengzhou army soldier ran away, followed by a second, and then a group. The Qingzhou army quickly occupied the open area on both sides of the city gate like a broken bamboo.

After gaining the upper hand, the subsequent musketeers continued to pour into the city, and their arrival increased the density of firepower. The Pengzhou city army became more and more unbearable in front of long-range firearms, and retreated steadily.

As more and more troops from Qidi poured into the city, some soldiers found the iron cables of the bridge. They carried the iron cables out of the city gate, and with the help of the warships, tied the iron cables from the wooden stakes at the gate of Pengzhou city to the other side.

After the iron cables were completed, the soldiers spread the thick wooden boards one by one. At this time, the tasks of the battleships were all completed, and they were all docked on the north bank.

The chains were restored, and the artillery and cavalry immediately moved into the city along the bridge.

Following the last cavalry into Pengzhou City, Lu Fei came to the tent temporarily erected in front of the city gate. The battle was fought from morning to night, and now it was about to get dark.

General, it's getting dark, do you want to take advantage of the situation? Luo Xin said to Lu Fei.

Now Lu Fei is the general of Nanzheng. Although the two of them talk about troubles on weekdays, he still has to obey the military orders and obey Lu Fei's dispatch on the battlefield.

No, it's not good for us at night. The blurred vision is very inconvenient for the musket team to travel. Now we are setting up camp to guard against the enemy's sneak attack. After a few losses, Lu Fei now has a long memory.

Just like this, the wealthy family in the city will run away. Luo Xin said.

Lu Fei pondered: These wealthy families can at most take some gold and silver, but they can't take this land, mansion, cattle and sheep.

Luo Xin had no choice but to nod when he heard the words, but he reminded: General Lu, this time His Highness said that there is a bounty for the attack on Pengzhou City. The general can complain that the general did not remind you.

Go away, I feel more distressed than you. The muscles on Lu Fei's face were shaking.

Since the Chang'an Rebellion, Xiao Ming announced a bounty system in the army. The system stipulates that all the spoils obtained during the expedition of the city will be rewarded with 10% of the spoils to the soldiers and generals who participated in the siege. .

And according to the different positions in the military, there will be different proportions of the bounty.

It would be better if Lu Fei won the Pengzhou City this time and got one million taels of silver.

After this bounty system was promulgated, it was deeply supported by soldiers and generals, which also stimulated their desire to participate in the Southern Expedition.

Luo Xin smiled, and he just said that, but now that the night is falling, it is indeed not suitable to continue the fight. After all, after a hard day's fighting, the soldiers are also a little tired, and there are still many remaining soldiers of the Pengzhou Army.

Of course, Luo Xin's idea also represents the idea of ​​a general. This is Luo Hong's firearms battalion. Unlike other three-state armies, the soldiers of this firearms battalion currently belong to a special existence in Qingzhou.

Both soldiers and generals want to settle down in Qingzhou, and they need money to settle down. If this battle is won, they will be able to settle down in Qingzhou.

Therefore, Luo Hong wanted to prove himself, and the soldiers and generals of the firearms battalion wanted to get money.

How is it? As soon as Luo Xin came out, Luo Hong and other generals asked.

No, General Lu refused. Luo Xin said to Luo Hong: Don't be impatient, I know you are eager to fight, but our goal this time is to take Pengzhou City. If something goes wrong, no one can afford it. .

Luo Hong nodded. He had a better understanding of Lu Fei and other Qingzhou generals. They never wanted to be as blind as other troops in the Great Yu Kingdom, but kept calm forever.

With a wave of his hand, Luo Hong let the others go away. He said to Luo Xin, I really envy you. If I could come to Qingzhou earlier, I wouldn't have to start all over again.

Luo Xin is very clear about his brother's thoughts. After all, Luo Hong is the eldest son of the Luo family, and now his younger brother is more promising than himself, which inevitably makes him uncomfortable, but fortunately Luo Hong is also a general person, and he just refuses to admit defeat. That's it.

When the two were chatting, the pot in Pengzhou City had already been fried, and the wealthy family in the city fled overnight with their families.

The Mi family, Mi Wenyi was disheveled at this time, he still thought that he could resist for half a month, but now King Qi's army took only one day to take the city gate.

Now that there is no danger to defend, how can he fight against King Qi's army, and the most important thing is that after the city gate fell, the hearts of the wealthy families in the city were scattered. Who cares whether Pengzhou City can hold it or not.

When Mi Kuang was killed, he was not far away. At that time, he knew that King Qi had been in Pengzhou City for a long time, and the assassination of Mi Kuang was also part of the plan.

The death of Mi Kuang made him even more frightened, and he began to suspect that there were assassins sent by King Qi around him.

Immediately after King Qi's army rushed into the city, he finally couldn't help but escape back to Mi's house.

At this time, the Mi family was also in chaos. Everyone in the Mi family was packing up their gold and silver and preparing to escape. King Qi's army had already entered the city, and the city of Pengzhou was broken.

Do you really want to destroy my Mi family?

Mi Wenyi said to himself like a madman, even if he fled back to Jinling City, how should he explain to King Wei, thinking of this, he became more and more desperate.

Wenyi, let's go, people's hearts are already in chaos, it's hard to take back the water, so don't be afraid that there will be no firewood to burn. Mi Wenyi's father urged.

With a long sigh, Mi Wenyi followed his father to the outside. The carriage of the Mi family was waiting outside the door. It was not known when or month that he would be able to return.
