Iron Dynasty

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the tower, Lu Fei and a group of generals walked out of the tent.

They had already arranged the next offensive just now. After deliberation, they decided to divide their troops into three routes. Luo Hong and Luo Xin each led the way from north to south on the avenues on both sides of Pengzhou City.

At the same time, Lu Fei ordered the cavalry captain Bai Mu to lead a small group of cavalry to attack south from the middle avenue to lure the enemy out.

The secret guards in the city had already joined them last night. According to the information provided by the secret guards, there were only a thousand cavalry in Pengzhou City, and this thousand cavalry also followed the nobles last night.

Generally speaking, the clan children of big clans are still stubbornly resisting in the city. The status of these clan children in Pengzhou City is higher than that of ordinary soldiers, but they are below the wealthy clan.

Therefore, they also belong to the minions of the wealthy clan, but Pengzhou City has their interests. It is for this reason that they cannot escape and can only continue to fight hard.

It’s just that the number of these soldiers is not large. After removing the tribes of the aristocrats, there are only more than 20,000 soldiers in the Pengzhou army. They were ordered to stay in the city and continue to defend, but what they didn’t know was that they had become abandoned sons at this moment. .

Compared with the army formed by the clansmen of the big clan, the soldiers from the common people secretly came to surrender to them at night. The army formed by the clansmen of the Pengzhou army and the army formed by the common people are two independent armies. There is also a huge difference.

But after this siege, Mi Kuang let these soldiers from the common people resist in front, which has caused dissatisfaction among many soldiers, and under the deliberate propaganda of the secret guards, more and more soldiers have surrendered. thought.

For these soldiers, they don't care who rules them, as long as they can save their lives, it is enough for their families to eat.

So from last night to early morning, 6,000 soldiers had surrendered in the temporary camp in front of the city gate, and some soldiers went home as deserters.

Set off!

Lu Fei gave an order. For him, today is the last battle in Pengzhou City. He wants to completely control Pengzhou City. Last night, he had already sent good news to Qingzhou. He didn't want to lose face in front of Xiao Ming.

After receiving the order, Baimu led the cavalry towards the south of the city. The cavalry he led were the most elite cuirassiers of the Qingzhou Army. In addition to the saber, the cuirassiers were now equipped with two cavalry on both sides of each cavalry's horse. A short and powerful pulley crossbow.

The cavalry was dispatched, and the rumbling sound of hooves immediately resounded through the city of Pengzhou. The people in the city were all hiding at home and did not dare to come out. However, Niu Ben had always been extremely strict in governing the army, and during the occupation last night, not a single soldier harassed the people.

The artillery in the city, which is full of buildings, can hardly make a difference. Luo Xin can only leave the artillery at the city gate to support them at any time. After Baimu set off, they also set off to the south of the city.

At this time, the south of Pengzhou City was dead silent, and there was not a single figure on the street. When Baimu led the cavalry to arrive first, there was a look of vigilance on his face.

The Qingzhou Army has always followed Xiao Ming's adage and will never underestimate any opponent. This time he also did not underestimate the Pengzhou Army. They relied on the benefits of artillery to win the city gate, but now it is clear that they will be caught in a street battle. .

Baimu is also the backbone of the Qingzhou Army. He is the earliest group of people in the Qingzhou Army. He used to be under Lu Fei. This time, Lu Fei felt that Baimu was in good hands, so he begged Niu Ben to let Baimu go on the expedition.

Speaking of the fact that Baimu has been on the battlefield for more than ten years and has experienced too many wars, he instinctively felt the danger in the houses on both sides.

At this moment he suddenly said: Crossbow!

As soon as his voice fell, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded, and then the Pengzhou Army like a tidal wave poured out from the civilian squares on both sides.

kill!

Soldiers wearing red linings, jackets and scales charged towards them with swords raised, and at this moment, some soldiers with bows and arrows appeared on the roof of the Minfang.

A layer of cold sweat broke out from Baimu's back. Fortunately, he didn't go too deep with years of experience. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to lure the enemy this time, but the soldiers would definitely suffer a lot of damage.

Moreover, he did not keep the cavalry in a dense formation between the gallops, but moved forward in a dispersed manner, so that there was sufficient distance between the cavalry to turn around.

Before these Pengzhou soldiers rushed out, the cavalry took out the pulley crossbow, and they shot at the archers on the roof of the house for the first time.

Baimu kept in mind that the purpose of this time was to explore the road and lure the enemy. The purpose has been achieved. He is not stupid enough to use cavalry and infantry for street fighting, because this is equivalent to abandoning the most basic advantage of cavalry.

Retreat! After a round of shooting, Shiroki immediately ordered to retreat, and it would be too late if he didn't leave.

After finding out the location of the ambush by the Pengzhou army, Baimu immediately sent scouts to inform Luo Xin and Luo Hong that they were the main force in this street battle.

In his opinion, the battle of Pengzhou City has just begun.

At this time, Luo Xin and Luo Hong had heard the movement on the central street, and soon the cavalry sent by Baimu came to them and told them the information.

Searching one by one. Luo Xin frowned.

After his order was issued, the soldiers were immediately divided into a thousand-person team, each of which was responsible for a private workshop, advancing from south to north, and Luo Hong in the east of the city also set up such a formation.

Bang bang bang...

The gunshots sounded quickly, and the ambush of the Pengzhou army had nowhere to hide under the carpet-like search. The battle soon started in the village. With muskets, bayonets and strict discipline and training, the Qingzhou army used small horizontal lines to shoot easily. They defeated the Pengzhou army hiding in the village.

One after another, the villagers fought. In the morning, Luo Xin and others set off. In the evening, the two pushed the front to the South City Gate. After a day of fierce fighting, they finally fully occupied Pengzhou City. There were more than 3,000 people, and more than 3,000 people were captured. The Nanzheng army also paid the price of 1,000 casualties.

General, we have fully occupied Pengzhou City.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Lu Fei appeared in front of the courtyard of the Mi family. At this time, the soldiers were looking for the spoils in the courtyard of the Peng family.

Lu Fei nodded. When he came, there were Pengzhou Army corpses all the way, which shows the fierce battle today.

Just now Luo Xin and Luo Hong were discussing the issue of prisoners of war, and he then said to Lu Fei: General, we have captured 3,000 people, what should we do with these people?

Kill them all! Lu Fei's eyes suddenly became extremely cold.

Kill! Luo Xin's heart suddenly burst.

Luo Hong said, General Lu, it's ominous to kill prisoners, I hope you think twice.

Lu Fei's will seemed very firm, he said: No need to say, these prisoners must be killed!
