Become a feudal king from today

“They are still fighting in the streets, alleys and homes. Read”

Through the telescope, Chang Wei had a panoramic view of the battle situation in Pingyuan City.

Due to the obstruction of the building, the pace of the attack of the palace soldiers slowed down a lot.

Qi soldiers hid in the courtyard. When the palace soldiers approached, they would rush out to fight.

In this way, the distance between Qi soldiers and royal soldiers was often shortened to tens of meters.

When shooting at each other, the rifled guns of the royal soldiers lost their range advantage, and both sides suffered casualties.

However, due to the high accuracy of rifled guns and the fact that they were fired, soldiers could be arranged into a tighter formation, allowing for more concentrated firepower.

The other side suffered more casualties.

In addition, he also observed a small number of Qi soldiers using flintlock guns. This scene made his pupils shrink slightly.

There is no doubt that this is also a masterpiece of Japanese people.

He sneered and said, "In a few months, you Japanese people will have something good to look at."

King Yan's anger towards the Japanese also reached its peak.

However, because Zhou Yi's fleet has too few warships, he is currently unable to take action against Japan and fundamentally cut off the connection between Japan and Qizhou.

However, in two to three months, twenty-four warships will be launched.

When the time comes, the Yanzhou Navy will deal with Japan severely.

His thoughts returned to the battlefield, and Chang Wei said: "We cannot fall into the Qi people's scheme and compete with them for Pingyuan City inch by inch. This will increase the casualties of the soldiers."

Qin Shan and other generals nodded.

Although now on the battlefield, whether it is musketry or hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers of the royal palace are constantly winning.

But every victory resulted in casualties among the royal soldiers.

If the fight continues like this, Pingyuan City and the others may only suffer 10,000 or 20,000 casualties.

If they defeated three cities in a row, they would have to pay fifty or sixty thousand casualties.

Obviously, this is definitely not what they want.

Lu Chang said: "General, I have been to Pingyuan City before and know the location of Pingyuan City's granary. I think that as long as we occupy their granary and cut off their food, the Qi army will collapse without a fight."

Chang Wei showed a satisfied smile and said to Lu Chang, "Now you are finally willing to use your brain."

Lu Chang chuckled twice, and equipped the royal army with rifled guns. He knew that the days of relying solely on brute force to fight wars were over.

In the future, if he cannot keep up with the changes in the royal army, he will be left behind by Qin Shan, Guan Tong and other generals.

"In this case, I will allocate 20,000 troops to you to capture the granary as soon as possible." Chang Wei said.

Lu Chang's plan was exactly what he was planning to implement.

The Qi army spread their troops throughout the city to resist them bit by bit.

However, they made a serious mistake.

As long as he concentrates his efforts on attacking the granary, Qi's army will be unable to resist.

In response, Lu Chang jumped down the city wall.

Qin Shan, Guan Tong and other generals looked envious.

It's not that their abilities are worse than Lu Chang's, but that Chang Wei gave Lu Chang the opportunity to attack.

After descending the city wall, Lu Chang immediately organized an army to attack.

The granary of Pingyuan City is in the southeast corner. He led the army around to the east gate and attacked the granary of Pingyuan City from the east gate.

Twenty thousand men marched straight to the granary.

Along the way, the Qi soldiers rushing out of the streets and houses were difficult to stop.

They tried to resist, but were immediately shot and killed by several times the number of royal soldiers.

And while marching, Lu Chang placed artillery on the east wall.

From their commanding position, they had a clear view of the enemy along the offensive route.

Qi soldiers hiding in houses and streets were often bombarded by them before they could take action.

These shellings alerted the attacking palace soldiers to let them know in advance that there was an ambush ahead and prepare for the attack.

Qi's street fighting team consisting of dozens or hundreds of people was no match for the royal army under such circumstances.

Lu Chang led the army to break through one street after another, and in less than half an hour, they reached the Pingyuan City Granary.

Unlike other streets, Han Qi obviously deployed heavy troops near the granary.

But even so, there are only three thousand people.

However, these three thousand people all held flintlock guns and were equipped with more than thirty artillery pieces.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The royal soldiers appeared near the granary, and Qi's artillery roared immediately.

Grape bullets were fired at the palace soldiers one after another, and the attacking palace soldiers immediately suffered casualties.

Lu Chang was furious and shouted: "Pull up the artillery and mortars and beat them hard."

At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to rely on buildings to avoid the opponent's shelling.

Under his command, the mortar soldiers fired out the shells one after another as if they were free of charge.

The field artillery soldiers pushed the artillery into the streets and fired at the Qi soldiers.

There were bursts of artillery roars and violent explosions, and the Qi artillery fell under the saturation bombardment.

Without the threat of artillery, Lu Chang ordered his soldiers to attack again.

At this time, he divided his 20,000 soldiers into three groups. One group engaged the Qi soldiers head-on, while the other two groups encircled and outflanked them.

Otherwise, if the soldiers are crowded together, they will not be able to exert their full combat power.

Under his order, the palace soldiers quickly surrounded the granary.

Led by the general, some soldiers climbed onto the roof and shot at the Qi soldiers in the middle of the street.

At the same time, field artillery and mortars launched a fierce attack on the granary.

The Qi soldiers holding flintlock rifles thought they would engage in a line duel with the Yanzhou soldiers, but they suffered heavy casualties before they came into contact with the Yanzhou soldiers.

Faced with a large number of casualties, the Qi soldiers guarding the granary collapsed.

The remaining more than 600 Qi soldiers dropped their flintlock rifles, knelt on the ground and raised their hands.

The soldiers who escaped from Yanzhou last time had already spread the news throughout the military camp about what happened to them after their defeat.

As long as they surrender, Yanzhou soldiers will not kill them, and will even entertain them with delicious food and drinks.

Now that the city wall has been broken, there is no hope of holding the granary, and defeat is certain.

Why should they sacrifice their lives?

The granary was lost.

The news soon reached the ears of Han Qi and Shi Cun Dahe.

When the two heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

Without food, they could not hold on for more than a few days, and if the news spread, the soldiers of Qi were afraid that their morale would be shattered.

"Evacuate Pingyuan City immediately!" Han Qi punched the table with an angry expression.

If this continues, the Qi soldiers in Pingyuan City will be wiped out.

Shi Cun Dahe said: "Only the south gate has not been breached at the moment, but in my opinion, this is definitely a trap. The Yanzhou soldiers must have set up an ambush halfway."

"It goes without saying that King Yan used this kind of tactics more than once in Jinzhou. This is not a conspiracy but a conspiracy."

Shi Cun Dahe was discouraged for a while, and he said to Han Qi: "Prepare the best horses for me, and you must protect me when I escape back to Qi."

After discussing the matter, Han Qi immediately asked someone to pass on the order.

At this time, many Qi soldiers already knew the news that the granary had been lost, and the military morale was in confusion.

After receiving the order to retreat from Han Qi, they could no longer hold on and rushed towards the south gate.
