The remnant sun is like blood, and the Bianshui River is dyed bright red, I don't know if this is the reflection of the sunset or the real blood. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After stationing on the north bank of Bianshui, Luo Hong and Luo Xin's figures appeared at the end of the official road of Pengzhou in the evening, and after meeting with Lu Fei, the army did not immediately attack the city but camped along the official road of Pengzhou City.

Like the information provided by Li San, the land in front of Pengzhou City was very narrow, which was not suitable for large-scale deployment of the army.

That night, Lu Fei and a group of generals reconfirmed the strategy of attacking the city the next day, so as to avoid confusion in command at that time.

"There are 50,000 soldiers in Pengzhou City, and it is estimated that there are 80,000 or 90,000 people in the city, so the gate of Pengzhou City is easy to open, but the soldiers will encounter street battles when they enter the city, and street battles are the most unfavorable for us." Lu Fei said with a frown.

Luo Hong nodded, he understood what Lu Fei meant, the ideal battlefield for the musket team is in the open field, which is more convenient for the queue to spread, and once you enter a town with many buildings, it is difficult to give full play to the advantage of musket salvo to meet in short combat.

"So Your Highness let us not rush for quick success, but to fight steadily, after the city is broken, we must first control the city gate, and occupy the city wall with the city gate as the basis, so that we can establish a position that can slowly encroach on Pengzhou City." Luo Xin said with his arms crossed.

Lu Fei nodded, and said to Luo Xin: "Tomorrow, your lime bomb will be hit hard, and there will be grape bombs, no matter how hard this Pengzhou City is, it will be hard enough to pass through the Shanhaiguan." ”

"But no, Shanhaiguan has been taken, can we still be afraid of a Pengzhou City?" Luo Xin echoed, and the two immediately burst into laughter.

Luo Hong looked at the two of them with some envy, the prestige of the Qingzhou army was resounding throughout the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and he was also envious, "Don't forget me, the soldiers of our firearms battalion are not cowards." ”

When the three of them were discussing the siege of the city tomorrow, the atmosphere in Pengzhou City became more and more solemn, originally they thought that there were only these three warships in the siege, but they did not expect that so many soldiers would come one after another in the evening.

The shooting in the afternoon and the shelling of the Pengzhou Naval Division also filled the city with a feeling of fear and pessimism, and everyone watched the defeat of the Pengzhou Naval Division, which was known for its ferocity.

"Mi Changshi, how to fight this battle without artillery and muskets, you have also seen it, the army of King Qi outside the city has muskets and artillery, and our soldiers have not yet touched the enemy and have been beaten, and now the soldiers of the sailor division are so frightened that they dare not fight again, how is this good?" The head of the Lu family sighed heavily.

Unlike the optimism of the morning, the patriarchs of the city sighed one by one, they knew exactly what was happening on the city walls, and they could not imagine fighting such an army at all.

"Let's escape, it's still too late, if King Qi's army enters the city, we will be finished." One person said.

"That's right, pack up the gold and silver now, otherwise it will be too late to escape."

"Let's run for our lives."

“……”

One of them mentioned the escape and was immediately echoed by everyone, they were usually very fierce to the people, but in the face of an army that was even more fierce than them, they had only fear at this time.

Mi Wenyi has a gloomy face, everyone can run away without a fight, but he can't, he is the governor of the Wei Palace, and this Pengzhou City is the foundation of the Mi family, and if he loses Pengzhou City, his Mi family will lose its value in the eyes of King Wei.

"Boom!" slapped the table hard, Mi Wenyi said: "Run, where can you flee, this King Qi's ambition is not only our Wei land, he wants the whole world, at that time, where can you escape." ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, Mi Wenyi is not unreasonable, now that the world is in chaos, where else can they flee to.

A patriarch said: "It's not that we are greedy for life and afraid of death, it's just that the firearms of the Qingzhou army are too powerful, if Mi Changshi can let King Wei send a batch of artillery and muskets over, we will be able to fight, but if we continue to fight like this, it will only increase casualties." ”

Mi Wenyi sighed, he blamed himself very much, because he underestimated the power of firearms, it was not that he attached importance to firearms, but when he was in Jinling City, he had seen the firearms of King Wei.

After the demonstration of the firearms unit in Jinling City, he felt that firearms were not invincible.

But now he understood that he was wrong, because in his opinion, there was no comparison between the musket team from Qingzhou and the musket team of the King of Wei, and the Qingzhou army was not only skillful in operation, but also highly disciplined, which was only seen from the camp.

The army tents outside the city were lined up in straight lines, and the soldiers were patrolling in groups of two or three, and there was not a single idle soldier.

"As long as you can hold on for half a month, I can get artillery and arquebuses." Mi Wenyi hesitated for a moment and made up his mind.

"Half a month!" When everyone looks at me, I look at you, and everyone has no faith.

Snorting heavily, Mi Wenyi said: "Now this is the only way, whether you want to die in the hands of King Qi or fight hard is up to you." ”

After that, Mi Wenyi threw up his sleeves and left.

Seeing Mi Wenyi leave angrily, everyone also sighed and dispersed.

The next day, the early morning in Pengzhou City was broken by the roar of cannons.

The battleships docked on the north bank of Bianshui were the first to attack, and the artillery directly bombarded the gate of Pengzhou City, and after three rounds of shelling, the gate of Pengzhou City became a hornet's nest and crumbled at any time.

Luo Xin, who was on the other side of the Bianshui River, looked at this scene with some envy, Niu Dudu's decision was really right, this battleship was simply a sea fortress, and this round of artillery salvo was extremely powerful.

Lu Fei looked at the opposite side with a telescope, compared to yesterday, the guards of Pengzhou City were obviously much smarter, none of the generals and soldiers dared to show their heads, and they all hid behind the battlements.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The Galen ship on the water continued to bombard the gate of Pengzhou City, and after two more volleys, the gate of Pengzhou City suddenly tilted and fell, and then everyone realized that behind the city gate was a pile of stones.

The city gate was broken, Lu Fei looked at Luo Xin and said, "It's up to you next." ”

"Bring the mortar up." Luo Xin shouted, and soon sixty soldiers in pairs lifted the mortars placed on a metal base to the front, and at the same time, the field guns were also lined up in line by the artillery.

"Lime Bomb!" Luo Xin shouted again.

On his orders, the soldiers loaded the lime shells in hollow shells into the mortars, and at the same time the gunners began to measure the distance and adjust the length of the wooden plugs on the shells.

"Fire!" With Luo Xin's order, thirty mortar cannons fired at the opposite side at a distance of three hundred meters at the same time.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Lime bombs exploded near the city wall, and the white lime spread out like smoke to block the sight of the defenders of Pengzhou City, and at the same time, the three Galen ships on the water began to adjust their positions, and the three battleships lined up across the river, and the two Galen ships were connected by two iron cables, and the soldiers on the ships laid wooden planks on the iron cables to form a temporary bridge.
