Chapter 551: Total Occupation

When the first rays of sunlight shone on the city tower, Lu Fei and the generals walked out of the tent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just now they had already arranged the next offensive, and after discussion, they decided to divide their troops into three routes, Luo Hong and Luo Xin each led one road from the avenues on both sides of Pengzhou City to attack from north to south.

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, and according to the information provided by the secret guards, there were only a thousand cavalry in Pengzhou City, and these thousand cavalry also ran with the wealthy clans last night.

Now in general, the people who are still stubbornly resisting in the city are the clansmen of the big clans, and the status of these clansmen's children in Pengzhou City is higher than that of ordinary soldiers, but they are below the wealthy clans.

So they also belong to the minions of the wealthy clans, but Pengzhou City has their interests, and it is precisely for this reason that they cannot escape, so they can only continue to fight hard.

It's just that the number of this part of the soldiers is not much, after excluding the tribes of the Hao clan, there are only more than 20,000 such soldiers in the Pengzhou army, and they are ordered to stay in the city and continue to hold on, but what they don't know is that they have become outcasts at this moment.

Compared with the army composed of these big clansmen, the soldiers from the common people secretly came to surrender to them at night, and the army composed of the Pengzhou army clansmen and the army composed of the common people were two independent armies, and there was a huge difference in treatment in the past.

It's just that after this siege, Mi Kuang let these soldiers from the people's families resist in front, which has caused dissatisfaction among many soldiers, and under the deliberate propaganda of the secret guards, more and more soldiers have the intention of surrendering.

For these soldiers, they don't care who rules them, as long as they can save their lives and their families have something to eat.

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

"Let's go!"

Lu Fei gave an order, today is the last battle in Pengzhou City for him, he wants to completely control Pengzhou City in his hands, he has sent a good report to Qingzhou last night, he doesn't want to lose face in front of Xiao Ming.

After receiving the order, Bai Mu led the cavalry to gallop to the south of the city, and the cavalry he led was the most elite cuirassier of the Qingzhou army.

The cavalry was dispatched, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves immediately resounded in Pengzhou City, and the people in the city were all hiding at home at this time and did not dare to come out, but Niu Ben's army has always been extremely strict, and no soldier harassed the people in the occupation last night.

It was difficult for the artillery in the city, which was full of buildings, to make a difference, so Luo Xin could only leave the artillery at the city gate to support them at any time, and after Shiraki set out, they also marched to the south of the city.

At this time, there was a dead silence in the south of Pengzhou City, and there was no figure to be seen on the street, and when Bai Mu led the cavalry to arrive first, his face showed a look of vigilance.

The Qingzhou army has always followed Xiao Ming's motto and never despised any opponent, this time he also did not despise the Pengzhou army, they relied on the advantage of artillery to take the city gate, but now it is clear that they will be caught in a street battle.

Bai Mu is also the backbone of the Qingzhou Army, the earliest group of people in the Qingzhou Army, and has been under Lu Fei before.

Speaking of which, Shiraki has been on the battlefield for more than ten years and has experienced too many wars, and he instinctively senses the danger in the houses on both sides.

Then he suddenly said; "Crossbow bolts!"

As soon as his words fell, a sudden rush of footsteps sounded, and then the Pengzhou army poured out from the people's squares on both sides like a tide.

"Kill!"

Soldiers in red linings and scales charged at them with swords in hand, and at that moment some soldiers with bows and arrows appeared on the roof of the village.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Bai Mu's back, fortunately with his years of experience, he didn't go too deep, otherwise not only would he not be able to lure the enemy this time, but the soldiers would inevitably suffer a lot of losses.

And between gallops, he did not keep the cavalry in a dense formation, but advanced in a scattered manner, so that the cavalry had plenty of distance to turn around.

Before the Pengzhou soldiers rushed out, the cavalrymen took out their pulley crossbows, and they immediately fired at the archers on the roofs of the houses.

Shiraki remembered that the purpose of this time was to explore the road and lure the enemy, and the purpose had been achieved, and he was not stupid enough to use cavalry and infantry in street fighting, because this was tantamount to abandoning the most basic advantages of cavalry.

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

After figuring out the location of the Pengzhou army's ambush, Bai Mu 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 had just begun.

At this time, Luo Xin and Luo Hong had already heard the movement on the central street, and after a while, the cavalry sent by Shiraki came to them and told them the information.

"One by one, people are searching." Luo Xin's brows furrowed.

After his order was given, the soldiers immediately divided into a team of 1,000 people, and no team was in charge of a people's square, and advanced from south to north, and Luo Hong also put up such a position in the east of the city.

"Bang ......"

The guns soon rang out, and the ambush soldiers of the Pengzhou army had nowhere to hide under the carpet search, and the battle soon began in the Minfang, with muskets, bayonets, and strict training discipline, the Qingzhou army easily defeated the Pengzhou army hiding in the Minfang by using small horizontal formations to line up and shoot.

After a day of fierce fighting, they finally fully occupied Pengzhou City, and the Pengzhou army that resisted stubbornly suffered more than 13,000 casualties and more than 3,000 captures, and 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 Mi family compound, and the soldiers were looking for loot in the Peng family compound at this time.

Lu Fei nodded, when he came, there were corpses of the Pengzhou army all the way, which showed the fierceness of today's battle.

Just now, Luo Xin and Luo Hong were discussing the issue of prisoners of war, and then he 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 struck.

Luo Hong said: "General Lu, killing prisoners is ominous, I hope the general will think twice." ”

Lu Fei's will seemed to be very firm, and he said, "No need to say more, these captives must be killed!" ”
