Chapter 553

The setting sun is like blood. Bianshui river is dyed bright red. I don't know whether it is the reflection of the setting sun or the real blood.

After they settled down on the North Bank of bianshui, Luo Hong and Luo Xin appeared at the end of Pengzhou official road in the evening. After joining Lu Fei, the army did not attack the city immediately, but camped along the official road of Pengzhou City.

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

That night, Lu Fei and a group of generals confirmed the strategy of attacking the city the next day, so as to avoid the chaos of command.

"There are 50000 soldiers in Pengzhou City, and it is estimated that there are 80000 or 90000 people in the city. The city gate of Pengzhou City is easy to open, but the soldiers will encounter street fighting when they enter the city, and the street fighting is the most disadvantageous for us." Lu Fei said with a frown.

Luo Hong nodded. He understood Lu Fei's meaning. The most ideal battlefield for the Musketeers is open space, which is more convenient for the formation. Once you enter a town with many buildings, it is difficult to give full play to the advantage of the Musketeers' volley, so as to meet each other in short combat.

"So your highness, let's not rush for quick success and instant benefit, but fight steadily. After the city is broken, we should first control the city gate and occupy the city wall with the city gate as the support. In this way, we can build a position and slowly encroach on Pengzhou City." Said rosin, embracing his arm.

Lu Fei nodded and said to Luo Xin, "tomorrow you'll have to fight hard with lime bombs and grape bombs. No matter how hard Pengzhou City is, you can't cross the mountain and sea pass."

"Is not, Shanhaiguan have won, we can be afraid of a Pengzhou City?" Luo Xin echoed, two people immediately laugh.

Luo Hong looked at them with admiration. The military power of Qingzhou resounded through the state of Dayu. He was also envious. "Don't forget me. The soldiers of our firearm camp are not counsellors."

While the three men were discussing the siege tomorrow, the atmosphere in Pengzhou became more and more dignified. They thought that there were only three warships in the siege, but they didn't expect that so many soldiers would come in the evening.

The shooting in the afternoon and the shelling of Pengzhou Navy also filled the city with a sense of fear and pessimism. The fierce Pengzhou navy was defeated.

"Mi Changshi, how can we fight this battle without artillery and muskets? You can see that the army of the king of Qi outside the city has both muskets and artillery. Our soldiers were beaten before they met the enemy. Now the naval officers are too scared to fight again. What can we do?" The owner of the LV family sighed heavily.

Different from the optimism in the morning, the patriarchs in the city sigh one by one. They know exactly what happened on the wall. They can't imagine fighting with such an army.

"Let's flee. It's still time. If the army of the king of Qi enters the city, we'll be finished." Said one.

"That's right. Now I'll clean up the gold and silver, or I won't have time to run away."

"Let's run for our lives."

“……”

When one person mentioned escape, he was immediately echoed by the public. They were very cruel to the people on weekdays, but when they faced an army that was more fierce than them, they were afraid.

Mi Wenyi has a gloomy face. Everyone can escape without fighting, but he can't. He is the head of the Wei King's mansion, and Pengzhou City is the foundation of the MI family. Without Pengzhou City, his mi family will lose its value in the eyes of the Wei king.

"Bang!" Beat the table hard, MI Wenyi said: "escape, where can you escape? The ambition of the king of Qi is not only Wei, but also the whole world. At that time, where can you escape?"

All of a sudden silence, MI Wenyi is not unreasonable, now the world is in chaos, they can escape to where.

A clan leader said: "it's not that we are afraid of death, but the firearms of Qingzhou army are too powerful. If Mi Changshi can ask the king of Wei to dispatch a batch of artillery and muskets, we will be able to fight a war, but if we fight like this now, it will only increase casualties."

Mi Wenyi sighed. He was very remorseful because he underestimated the power of firearms. It was not that he attached importance to firearms, but that he had seen the firearms of the king of Wei when he was in Jinling City.

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

But now he knew that he was wrong, because in his opinion, there was no comparison between the Qingzhou firearm team and the Wei King's firearm team. The Qingzhou army was not only skillful in operation, but also well disciplined, which can be seen only from the camp.

The barracks outside the city are straight lines, and the soldiers are patrolling in lines of two and three. There are no idle soldiers.

"As long as you can hold on for half a month, I'll be able to get the guns and the muskets." Mi Wenyi hesitated and made up his mind.

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

With a heavy snort, MI Wenyi said, "now this is the only way. Whether you want to die in the hands of the king of Qi or fight hard depends on you."

After that, MI Wenyi left.Seeing that MI Wenyi went away in anger, the people also sighed and dispersed.

The next day, the morning of Pengzhou City was broken by the roar of guns.

The warships anchored on the North Bank of bianshui were the first to launch a fire. The artillery directly attacked the city gate of Pengzhou. After three rounds of shelling, the city gate of Pengzhou turned into a hornet's nest, which was crumbling at any time.

Luo Xin, on the other side of bianshui River, looks at this scene with envy. The decision of Niu Dudu is really right. This warship is a fortress on the sea, and this round of artillery salvo is powerful.

Lu Fei looked across with a telescope. He was much smarter than the general of Pengzhou City yesterday. No general or soldier dared to show his head. They were hiding behind the battlements.

"Boom boom..."

The Galen ship on the water continued to bombard the city gate of Pengzhou City. After two rounds of volley, the city gate of Pengzhou City suddenly tilted and fell down. At this time, people found that behind the city gate was a pile of stones.

When the gate was broken, Luffy looked at Luoxin and said, "it's up to you."

"Lift up the mortar." Luo Xin gave a drink, and soon 60 soldiers in pairs carried the mortar guns on a metal base to the front. At the same time, the field guns were arranged in line by the artillery.

"Lime bomb!" Rosin gave another order.

At his command, the soldiers loaded the lime shells in the cannonballs into the mortar, while the Gunners began to measure the distance and adjust the length of the cork on the cannonballs.

"Fire!" With Luo Xin's command, 30 mortar guns fired at the same time at a distance of 300 meters.

"Boom boom..."

Lime bombs exploded one after another near the city wall, and the white lime dispersed like smoke, blocking the line of sight of the garrison of Pengzhou City. At the same time, the three galleons on the water began to adjust their positions, and the three warships lined up across the river. The two galleons were connected by two iron cables, and the soldiers on the ships paved wooden boards on the iron cables, forming a temporary bridge.
