Chapter 546: Dismounting

On the deck of the Qingzhou battleship, Lu Fei was holding a telescope and observing the arrangement of soldiers on the city wall of Pengzhou. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

When he saw these soldiers holding swords in their hands, his heart was a little more reassured, because there was not a single artillery cannon on this Pengzhou City, and this arrangement made him boldly let the battleships cruise along the Bianshui River in front of Pengzhou City, and for him, as long as there were no artillery, he could not threaten the three warships in the river.

"Are you afraid?"

Lu Fei jokingly said that only the Cangzhou army in the southern expeditionary army had ever been on the battlefield, and most of the soldiers in Laizhou and Yizhou had never seen blood, and as for the firearms battalion, they had only attacked the imperial city when they were in Chang'an, and they had not encountered a truly cruel encounter.

"Don't be afraid."

The young soldier beside Lu Fei said, the soldier's age under his immature face was no more than sixteen years old.

"Well, there's a kind of kid, he was a year younger than you when Ben was fighting, and you won't be afraid as long as you think about killing the enemy when you go to battle." Lu Fei said with a smile.

The soldiers on the battleship looked at Lu Fei with admiration, although Lu Fei's official position in the feudal country was not as good as Niu Ben, but his reputation in the army was well-known, so after learning that Lu Fei commanded the army, the soldiers were a little excited in their hearts, and the fact that Lu Fei's three thousand iron horsemen killed the retreating barbarians was still a good story in the army.

When the soldier heard this, the knuckles of the flintlock pistol turned white with force, and then nodded vigorously.

"General, do you want to give the Pengzhou army a dismount and let them know how powerful we are." At this time, a lieutenant behind Lu Fei suggested.

Lu Fei nodded, "Attack the city first, these Pengzhou soldiers have never seen artillery and muskets at all, let's let them understand what kind of army they are going to face, and now immediately order the battleship to go in the direction of the city gate." ”

"Yes, General!"

The lieutenant received the order and turned away, and after a while, the battleship began to move along the river towards the gate of Pengzhou City.

Inside the city of Pengzhou.

Mi Wenyi, who learned that the Qi king's army was coming, quickly reached a consensus with the big clans of Pengzhou City, and at this time, the Mi family's wine banquet had ended, and the heads of all families returned home to gather troops to assist the Pengzhou army in defending the city.

Mi Wenyi also put on a suit of armor and walked towards the city wall, and when he boarded the city wall under the protection of the soldiers, he saw three warships coming in the direction of the city gate.

At this time, he couldn't help frowning, in his eyes, the shape of these three warships was no different from the three merchant ships, and the soldiers on the ships were only about two thousand, could it be that the army of King Qi was ready to use these two thousand people to land on the land in front of the city gate to attack the city?

"For a long time, the rope bridges on the Bianhe River have all been demolished."

Mi Kuang, the governor of Pengzhou, said to Mi Wenyi, this Mi Kuang is also a member of the Mi family, because the Mi family is powerful and the King of Wei is very important to the Mi family, and most of the local government and the army rely on the Mi family, because of this, in fact, the military and political power of Pengzhou City is actually controlled by the Mi family.

Mi Wenyi looked at the empty Bianshui River, there used to be a rope bridge extending to the opposite bank of Pengzhou City, usually the people and businessmen entered Pengzhou City through the rope bridge, once the rope bridge was demolished, the Bianshui River more than 100 meters wide is the natural moat of Pengzhou City.

"Well, now immediately let the soldiers prepare rolling stones, fire oil and other materials to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking the city." Mi Wenyi said that now these three warships are very dazzling in his eyes.

Without these three warships, it would have been difficult for King Qi's army to cross the hundred-meter Bianshui River to reach the city, but now these three warships provided convenience for King Qi's soldiers.

Mi Kuang nodded, like Mi Wenyi, he also had some thoughts about these three ships in his heart, he said: "Mi Changshi, it is better to send the Lu family's sailors to sink these three ships directly, as long as the Bianshui River is controlled, unless the army of King Qi grows wings, it will not be able to attack the city at all." ”

Mi Wenyi said: "The Lu family has already gone to gather warships to prepare for the battle, and we only need to watch the excitement on the city wall now." ”

"What Mi Changshi said is that as long as the Lu family is willing to contribute, it will not be easy to win these three ships." Mi Kuang looked at the three battleships in the river disdainfully.

Mi Wenyi frowned when he heard this, he was a little worried, he served under the command of King Wei and knew that King Qi had a kind of battleship with artillery, and he was first shocked when he learned that there were three battleships, but now that he saw these three battleships, he didn't see any artillery from above.

Mi Wenyi's face was a little gloomy when he thought of the artillery from the battleship, the number of artillery and arquebuses obtained by the King of Wei from Qingzhou was very small, and now these cannons and firearms were left by the King of Wei to the army of Jinling City, and they did not take advantage of it at all.

Just as he was thinking, the figure of the Pengzhou Navy Division appeared in the direction of the three warships, and thirty Pengzhou warships were coming towards the three warships in Qingzhou.

Seeing this scene, Mi Wenyi's heart was a little relieved, although the volume of the Pengzhou battleship was not very large, but the number was large, and these two-deck crescent-shaped battleships were full of soldiers with swords and bows and arrows.

As soon as the Pengzhou Sailor appeared, the soldiers on the city wall immediately cheered.

"Hit him, hit him hard!"

"Sink them into the river and feed the fish."

"Kill them and leave no armor behind."

“……”

These Hohe soldiers are either surnamed Mi or surnamed Lu, and some belong to other big surnames, belonging to the clan of the big clan in Pengzhou City, they have also been influenced by the big clan in recent years, and they are full of vigilance against the king of Qi in the north.

When the Pengzhou Naval Division appeared, the three Qingzhou battleships suddenly adjusted their direction and aimed their sides at the Pengzhou Naval Division, which was sailing towards them.

On the battleship, Lu Fei did not pay attention to these invading sailors, this battle on the water naturally had a naval commander to command, he was in charge of land warfare, when there was a cheer on the city wall, he said: "Where is the rifled gun team?" ”

"Yes, General." Sixty soldiers with rifled guns behind Lu Fei shouted in unison.

Lu Fei nodded, there was a hundred-meter-long beach in front of the gate of Pengzhou City, and then there was Bianshui, and now the distance from his position to the city wall was only one hundred and fifty meters.

"Give Ben a few beatings and see which of them is still rampant." Lu Fei's temper was a little restrained, but he was still short-tempered.

The soldiers armed with rifled guns immediately began to reload, and then they aimed their guns at the soldiers on the city walls.

Lu Fei swept the city wall with a telescope, and when he saw the two generals standing together, he suddenly said, "You guys will hit this direction." ”

Before Lu Fei left this time, Xiao Ming specially asked Lu Fei to bring this group of soldiers with rifled guns and conical bullets.
