Iron Dynasty

On the deck of the Qingzhou battleship, Lu Fei was observing the arrangement of soldiers on the Pengzhou city wall with a telescope.

When he saw these soldiers holding swords in their hands, he felt more at ease, because there was no artillery above Pengzhou City. This arrangement made him boldly let the battleship cruise along the Bianshui River in front of Pengzhou City. For him, as long as there is no artillery, there is no way to threaten the three warships in the river.

"Are you afraid?"

Lu Fei joked that the soldiers around the team said that only the Cangzhou Army had been on the battlefield with the Southern Expeditionary Army. Most of the soldiers in the Laizhou and Yizhou Army had never seen blood. As for the firearms camp, they had only attacked in Chang'an. The imperial city has not encountered a real cruel encounter.

"Not afraid."

The young soldier beside Lu Fei said that under his immature face, this soldier was only sixteen years old.

"Well, there is a kind of kid who was a year younger than you when he was going to fight. When you are on the battlefield, you will not be afraid as long as you think about killing the enemy." Lu Fei laughed.

The soldiers on the battleship looked at Lu Fei adoringly. Although Lu Fei was not as good as a bull run in the official position of the country, his reputation in the army was well-known. Therefore, after learning that Lu Fei commanded the army, the soldiers felt a little bit in their hearts. Excited, the fact that Lu Fei's three thousand cavalry retreated the barbarians was still a good story in the army.

When the soldier heard the words, the knuckles holding the flintlock turned white with force, and then nodded fiercely.

"General, do you want to give Pengzhou's army a disarm so that they know how good we are." At this moment, a captain behind Lu Fei suggested.

Lu Fei nodded, "Sitting on the city first, these soldiers in Pengzhou have never seen artillery or muskets. We will let them understand what kind of army they are facing, and now immediately order the warship to go toward the city gate."

"Yes, General!"

The school lieutenant got the order and turned around. After a while, the warship began to follow the river towards the gate of Pengzhou City.

Inside Pengzhou City.

Mi Wenyi, who learned that the Qi king's army was coming, quickly reached a consensus with the big clans in Pengzhou City. At this time, the Mi family's banquet had ended, and the family leaders returned home to summon a trilogy to help the Pengzhou army defend the city.

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

At this time, he couldn't help frowning. In his eyes, the shapes of these three warships were no different from those of the three merchant ships, and the soldiers on board were no more than two thousand people. Is it possible that King Qi's army is planning to use two thousand people in the city? Landing and siege on the land in front of the gate?

"Mi Changshi, all the cable bridges on the Bian River have been demolished."

The governor of Pengzhou, Mi Kuang, said to Mi Wenyi that this Mi Kuang is also a member of the Mi family, because the great power of the Mi family, the king of Wei, is highly valued by the Mi family, and most of the local government offices and military officials rely on the Chong 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 cable bridge that extended to the opposite bank of Pengzhou City. Usually people and merchants entered Pengzhou City through the cable bridge. Once the cable bridge was removed, the Bianshui River was more than 100 meters wide. The river is the natural moat of Pengzhou City.

"Well, now let the soldiers prepare rolling stones, kerosene and other things to prevent the enemy from attacking the city suddenly." Mi Wenyi said, now these three warships are very eye-catching in his eyes.

Without these three battleships, King Qi’s army would have difficulty crossing the 100-meter Bianshui River to reach the city, but these three battleships now provide convenience for King Qi’s soldiers.

Mi Kuang nodded. Like Mi Wenyi, he also had some thoughts about these three ships. He said: "Mi Changshi, it is better to send the Lu's navy to sink these three ships directly, as long as you control Bianshui. Unless King Qi’s army has wings, he cannot attack the city at all."

Mi Wenyi said: "The Lu family has long been gathering warships to prepare for the battle. Now we only need to watch the excitement on the wall."

"What Mi Changshi said is that as long as Lu Jiaken is willing to contribute, it won't be easy to win these three ships." Mi Kuang looked at the three warships in the river with disdain.

Mi Wenyi frowned when he heard this. He was a little worried. He worked under Wei Wang but knew that Qi Wang had a warship with artillery. He was first shocked when he learned that there were three warships, but now he saw these three warships. , He did not see any artillery from above.

From the battleship thinking of the artillery Mi Wenyi's face was a little gloomy. The number of artillery and arquebuses that the king of Wei had obtained from Qingzhou was very small. Now these artillery and guns have been left by the king of Wei to the army of Jinling City, and they did not take advantage of it.

Just as he was thinking about it, the Pengzhou Navy appeared in the direction of the three warships. Thirty Pengzhou warships were facing the three warships in Qingzhou.

Seeing this scene, Mi Wenyi felt calm. Although the size of the Pengzhou battleship was not very large, it was more expensive. These two-deck warships in the shape of a meniscus were full of soldiers with swords and bows.

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

"Hit him, hit hard!"

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

"Kill them without leaving a piece of armor."

"..."

These Huhe soldiers were either surnamed Mi or Lu. Some of them belonged to other surnames and belonged to the clan of the Pengzhoucheng clans. In recent years, they were also influenced by the clans and were full of vigilance against the Qi king in the north.

When the Pengzhou navy appeared, the three Qingzhou warships suddenly adjusted their directions and pointed their sides at the Pengzhou navy who was heading towards them. The battle on the water was naturally led by the admiral. He was in charge of the land battle. When there was cheering on the wall, he said: "Where is the musket team?"

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

Lu Fei nodded. There was a hundred-meter-long beach in front of Pengzhou City Gate, followed by Bianshui, and now the distance from his position to the city wall is only 150 meters.

"Give me a few shots to see if they are still rampant." Lu Fei's violent temper was somewhat restrained, but it was still violent.

The soldiers equipped with rifled guns immediately began to reload when they heard this, and then they pointed their guns at the soldiers on the wall.

Lu Fei took the telescope and scanned the city wall. When he saw the two generals standing together, he suddenly said, "You just turn in this direction."

Before Lu Fei's departure this time, Xiao Ming specially asked Lu Fei to bring these soldiers with rifled guns and cone-shaped bullets. According to Xiao Ming's words, even if they can't hit them, they can scare them to pee. .
