Iron Dynasty

A skewed sunset dyes Songzhou City red.

Smoke and dust were flying on the yellow land, and the battlefield was full of chills.

Luo Quan, Qi Guangyi, and Lu Fei stood together, using binoculars to look at the defenders on the city wall of Songzhou not far away.

After Lu Fei scolded Songzhou City, he said: General Luo, it seems that there are not many barbarian defenders in Songzhou City. It is not too late to attack the city before the sun goes down.

If it was before, Luo Quan naturally thought that Lu Fei was talking big, but now the military reform and equipment of the Great Yu State has allowed the Great Yu State to have the ability to break through the city gate within two hours.

What's more, this time Lu Fei also led soldiers equipped with new weapons.

Of course it would be best if we could capture Songzhou City, so that we could trap Hakata here and destroy it little by little. Luo Quan nodded.

Qi Guangyi echoed: Yes, combined with the trenches, it is impossible for the barbarian cavalry to attack the city from the trenches under the fire of muskets.

Lu Fei was gearing up, his favorite thing was to fight. When he was in Jinling City, apart from training troops every day, he was very leisurely to death. He was almost excited to get the army and didn't sleep all night.

Hey, since that's the case, let's try the new musket provided by the military workshop. Lu Fei narrowed his eyes into a line.

When he saw these new muskets in Jinling City, he almost drooled, and after trying them out, he was even more eager to equip his soldiers with such muskets.

If it weren't for the strict military law, he would have the urge to keep these muskets.

When the siege of the city was decided, the army under the city of Songzhou immediately moved, and Lu Fei made all the soldiers with guns to stand at a position 150 meters away from the city wall.

According to the information provided by the military workshop, the range of the expedition musket is 900 meters, and it can still be accurate at 500 meters, but the accuracy has dropped to 50% at this time, so the best shooting position of the expedition musket is Three hundred meters, of course, the accuracy within three hundred meters will be higher and higher.

Since the birth of the musket, Lu Fei has followed Xiao Ming to fight in the South and the North, and he naturally knows how to use the characteristics of the musket for expedition.

When facing the defending infantry, he naturally does not need to extend the distance. The important thing is to ensure the accuracy of shooting and to protect his own soldiers from being injured by bows and arrows. .

So the distance of 150 meters is very suitable.

Under his orders, the soldiers armed with conscript muskets lined up in front of the city gate in three rows, and more than 3,000 soldiers within the 600-meter city wall aimed their guns at the soldiers on the city.

Unlike the previous blind shots, the musketeers this time carefully aimed at the barbarian defenders on the city wall.

In addition to being arranged in an array, there were also two hundred musketeers who acted as skirmishers. They were distributed in different positions, looking for opportunities to shoot the enemy soldiers.

What are these? Luo Quan set off in a hurry, not yet understanding the role of these skirmishers.

Lu Fei explained: These soldiers are selected from the army with relatively accurate shooting. They are responsible for shooting the enemy's generals under the cover of the large phalanx.

Luo Quan's eyes lit up, he nodded, Catch the thief first Qin Wang, wonderful.

When the two were talking, the formation was quickly completed. Looking at the sky, Lu Fei shouted to the artillery captain Chen Ting, Pull up Lao Tzu's field artillery and blow the city gate open for me!

Yes, General.

Chen Ting was originally Luo Xin's subordinate. After the reform of the army, the artillery was split up, and the once excellent artillery generals were scattered into each army.

Hearing this, he immediately asked the soldiers to pull over the field gun drawn by the horse, and placed the field gun directly opposite the city gate.

When everything was ready, Lu Fei shouted: Fire!

Following his order, the musketeers pulled the trigger one after another, and the flash cap generated sparks that ignited the gunpowder. There was a bang, and the conical bullet went straight to the target along the muzzle.

When the army of the Great Yu Kingdom appeared under Songzhou City, the barbarian soldiers in Songzhou City fell into chaos, especially the subsequent arrival of the firearms troops made the barbarian general in charge of defending the city feel even more heavy.

What are these soldiers of the Great Yu country doing? This is at least 150 paces away. A barbarian commander asked in confusion.

The commander in the city shook his head, As far as I know, the muskets in the Great Yu Kingdom don't have such a long range.

As soon as his voice fell, he saw a burst of fire from under the city, and the commander suddenly fell down with a grunt.

And when he looked at the commander, he saw that the chest of the commander kept bleeding.

In shock, he looked at the army of Dayu Kingdom outside the city. At this moment, a bullet flashed in his eyes. Before he could react, the bullet shot between his eyebrows.

In the blink of an eye, the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief in the city fell in a pool of blood, and the barbarian soldiers who lost their command were in chaos.

At the same time as the two fell, the barbarian soldiers who exposed their bodies kept falling, which aggravated the chaos of the barbarian soldiers.

The three of Luo Quan have been watching the city head. Luo Quan was shocked. The accuracy and range of the arsonist gun this time have indeed improved a lot.

Hahaha... Lu Fei burst out laughing. On the battlefield, the feudal gun once again proved his ability. He said to Chen Ting, Open the cannon!

Boom boom boom...

When the city wall was in chaos, the artillery began to bombard the city gate violently. After three salvos, the city gate of Songzhou collapsed.

Come on! With Lu Fei's order, the musketeers with bayonets entered the trenches and moved towards the city gate.

Climbing from the trench to the ground, he entered Songzhou City like a wave.

And the musketeers were not idle either. They kept suppressing the barbarian soldiers at the front of the city to prevent them from attacking the soldiers at the gate of the city.

Luo Quan was just talking about soldiers at the Military Academy, but now he has actually experienced the actual combat of a firearm siege on the battlefield.

In addition to the shock in his heart, he understood that the era of swords and horses would be gone forever.

Accompanied by the passionate sound of the assault horn, the musketeers poured into Songzhou City like a tide.

In the city, the remnant barbarians were still inspiring their resistance. They held machetes and charged towards the musketeers who had entered the city with a ferocious expression.

Facing the barbarian soldiers in the city, the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom have cold eyes, and the hatred of the country and the family makes them even colder and crueler than the barbarian soldiers. ,

Looking at the barbarian soldiers rushing over, the musketeers flexibly changed their formations, sometimes gathering together to fire a salvo at them.

From time to time, they collectively picked up their bayonets and rushed up to fight the barbarian soldiers.

In the memory of the people of the Dayu country, the barbarian soldiers have always been savage and fierce, but now on the battlefield at this time, the soldiers of the Dayu country are more brave.

In the past six years, the army of the Great Yu Kingdom has changed from a sheep to a wolf.

The barbarians have always been brave and ruthless. At this moment, they suddenly found that the weak soldiers of the Yu Kingdom had become even more fierce than them.

These people held bayonets like death gods, often killing a barbarian soldier with a single thrust.
