Iron Dynasty

Boom boom boom...

The artillery fire sounded like thunder.

All the front-mounted artillery and mortars were concentrated in front of Pingzhou City. In an instant, the dense shells formed a barrage and flew towards Pingzhou City.

Beishan and Best, who were arguing, were terrified. At this time, they did not dare to stay on the city wall, but ran into the city in a panic.

Behind them, the cannonball hitting the city wall made a huge sound of metal colliding with stone, and the lime bullets and flowering bullets fired by the mortar exploded at the same time, brilliant like fireworks.

Outside the city, soldiers in plate armor and musketeers charged at Pingzhou City at the same time. They shouted, as if venting the anger they had accumulated over the past few days.

The barbarian soldiers also rushed out of the city at this time. They entered the trenches and fought with the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom. For a time, the entire battlefield fell into chaos.

Wu Shugu was stunned. He did not expect that the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom suddenly launched an attack, and this violent posture was a desperate final battle.

At this time, he suddenly regretted that he had dispatched some cavalry to Jinzhou, but now there was no time for him to think, because they fell into a passive state under the fierce artillery fire of the Great Yu Kingdom, and now the trenches in front of Pingzhou City have been taken away bit by bit.

Woooo...

At his signal, the horn sounded in the cavalry team, and a 10,000-strong cavalry led the charge towards the city. Although the chariot formation of the Great Yu Kingdom was blocking the road, it was time to fight hard.

Lei Ming had already assembled 30,000 cavalry outside the tent of Dayu State Camp, looking at the barbarian cavalry who were staring at them, he shouted loudly: Brothers, now is the time for us to work hard, raise our troops for a thousand days, use them for a while, for the sake of the emperor, for the sake of The glory of the Great Yu Kingdom, kill!

Kill! At this moment, the cavalry raised the saber in their hands, and their morale was high.

At the same time, on the right side of the cavalry, a square hollow formation consisting of five musketeers was being formed. This phalanx consisted of two divisions of the Third Huben Army.

In this siege, Lu Fei was fighting with two divisions of his own Huben First Army and two Huben Second Army divisions.

The other two divisions of the Huben Second Army were under the command of Luo Xin to block the onslaught of the barbarian cavalry.

As the battle in Pingzhou City became more and more intense, the battlefield centered on Pingzhou City became more and more chaotic.

If you look down from a high altitude, the soldiers on both sides on the broad battlefield are like a dense group of marching ants fighting.

With the sound of the charging horn, the hollow phalanx formed by the second division of Huben stepped on the barbarian cavalry in a neat pace, and Lei Ming led the cavalry on the two wings of the phalanx.

Their purpose was not to annihilate the cavalry, but to prevent them from intervening in the battlefield, so Lei Ming decided to use the musketeers to push them back step by step.

This time, the cavalry led by Wu Zhugu was 30,000 fewer, but even so, 90,000 were not enough for them to shake.

Because of this, he can only use the musketeers to offset the advantage of the Wushu bone.

In the face of Lei Ming's tactic, Wu Zhugu frowned.

He was not afraid of confronting the cavalry of the Great Yu Kingdom head-on, but he was only afraid of this peculiar musket formation.

On the first day of the battle, he had tested the power of the musket, but the cavalry that rushed over fell without even touching a single soldier.

It's just that although he knows the power of this musket formation, he has no choice now. If he continues, Pingzhou City will only be lost, so they will lose the frontline fortress of Pingzhou, and Jinzhou will directly face the threat of the Great Yu Kingdom.

kill!

Wu Zhugu shouted loudly, the horseshoes burst, and the tide-like barbarian cavalry began to rush in the direction of thunder.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers in the hollow phalanx stopped. In fact, the barbarian cavalry had been hiding five hundred meters away in order to prevent being shot.

Now that they chose to fight, they could only shorten the distance. After entering the effective range of 500 meters of the musketeers, the musketeers were ordered to open fire.

Although Pingzhou City was wide open, so many cavalrymen gathered together could not be dispersed at all, and once they dispersed, the barbarian cavalry could not effectively fight against the cavalry of the Dayu Kingdom who were charging in groups.

Bang bang bang...

The hollow phalanx showed three-stage shooting, and the bullets flew over a distance of 500 meters and landed on the barbarian soldiers and the barbarian horses.

After the first round of shooting, the barbarian cavalry that kept moving forward fell in a large area, which made the marching barbarians a little confused.

Lei Ming calmly watched the movements of the barbarian cavalry. The hollow phalanx performed well. If so, even if the barbarian cavalry rushed in front of them, they would lose a lot, which would greatly reduce the morale of the barbarian cavalry.

Bang bang bang...

The gunshots sounded again, and the barbarian cavalry fell again, and the distance between the barbarian cavalry kept shrinking.

From 500 meters to 300 meters, the barbarian cavalry suffered great casualties, and three or four thousand barbarian cavalry fell on the way to charge.

When the barbarians reached 200 meters, the division commander in command of the hollow phalanx shouted: The first row crouches down, the bayonet is inclined upward, and the second row continues to shoot.

Looking at the barbarian cavalry that kept shortening the distance, Lei Ming waved his saber and rushed out. This war was a fateful battle for the Great Yu Kingdom.

And if they win, the offensive and defensive situation of the Great Yu Kingdom and the barbarians will change, and the vast grasslands will become the horse breeding grounds of the Great Yu Kingdom.

At this time, the battle under the city of Pingzhou also heated up.

Under the bombardment of artillery, the current Pingzhou city wall collapsed, and the entire Pingzhou city was exposed to Lu Fei and others.

The two wings were protected by Luo Xin and Lei Ming, and Lu Fei concentrated all his energy on fighting for the trench.

20,000 recruits in armor and 20,000 elite musketeers fought at the city gate at the same time.

In the face of the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom with full body armor, like iron barrels, the barbarian soldiers have no effective way, and often only three people can deal with one, otherwise these soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom in armor will easily kill them.

Only after a few days of fierce fighting, the musketeers who rushed into the trenches for the first time made them understand that they were more terrifying than these plate soldiers.

These soldiers are very sophisticated and ruthless with muskets with bayonets, killing people as calmly as chopping melons and vegetables.

And some musketeers seized the trenches and immediately occupied the wall in the middle of the trench. Standing on the wall, they kept firing at the soldiers who came to support the city.

As more and more musketeers from the Great Yu Kingdom arrived, the barbarian soldiers in the city could no longer continue to reinforce, because they were killed before they rushed to the ditch.

The number of supporters became less and less, and the ditch was one-sided. After two hours of fierce fighting, Lu Fei's soldiers finally captured the ditch.

Looking at the collapsed Pingzhou city wall, Lu Fei grinned and laughed, he scolded: What are you still doing, go and take down the Pingzhou city!
