Chapter 356 [The plan in the plan, the last battle] nine
Mu Linfeng wanted to keep Zheng Xiyu, but he could never find a reason to keep her. He could only stand by the boat and watch Zheng Xiyu's boat gradually disappear into the vast sea.
Tokugawa Jie stood beside Mu Linfeng and looked at Mu Linfeng with mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't know how to speak for a moment. Before she got married to Mu Linfeng, she knew that Mu Linfeng was a romantic figure and there were many women outside.
I originally thought that for the benefit of my family, I might
She endured all this, but after she got married to Mu Linfeng, she watched Mu Linfeng flirt with other women in front of her one after another. As a woman, no matter how big her tolerance is, she would never be able to bear it, let alone her.
He was already giving in before Mu Linfeng.
At this time, only a line of white fish belly was visible in the east of the sea. The sky had begun to get brighter. At this time, the sea surface could be vaguely seen. There were countless corpses floating on the sea, some with missing limbs. More than 20 warships had already
Return to full sail and prepare to return to Huai'an City to aid.
Mu Linfeng stood on the bow of the boat, watching the morning sun in the distance begin to rise slowly. Seeing the sky getting brighter, the night passed so slowly and so dangerously. In the end, even the Long brothers and Yang Laosan were under his nose.
Sneaked away.
In fact, there were only two things that surprised Mu Linfeng most about this night. One was that Yang Laosan was not dead and had come to this era, and the only chance to kill him was missed. It seemed that secret battles in the future were inevitable.
, the second is that she unexpectedly met Zheng Xiyu. Originally, Zheng Xiyu's arrival showed that there was still Mu Linfeng deep in Zheng Xiyu's heart, but because there were always women around Mu Linfeng, Zheng Xiyu left again and again.
While Hong Chengchou was sailing back on the warship, he counted the number of casualties of his own army. It turned out to be nearly a thousand. However, in the end, there was no danger, and he also captured more than 2,000 pirates and eight warships. Those eight warships were very important to Mu.
Linfeng didn't care at all, mainly because the significance of this battle was very important to Mu Linfeng.
Firstly, it completely defeated Long Qingfeng's Qinglonghui forces, and secondly, it allowed Zheng Xing to see how powerful his naval battle was. Although this battle was a narrow victory, it also fully made Zheng Xing realize that the day when the Zheng family's maritime hegemony would be overtaken by Zheng Xing.
It's the end, and making Zheng Xing realize it is not the main purpose. Since Zheng Xing can realize it, then Zheng Zhilong will naturally know that this move is just to beat the cow across the mountain.
But Mu Linfeng's ultimate goal was not to demonstrate against Zheng Zhilong. The drunkard's intention was not the wine, but the Zheng sisters.
About half an hour later, the fleet had returned to the port of Huai'an. At this time, Huai'an Port had been turned into ruins. Most of the soldiers who originally guarded the port had died in the line of duty, and some were missing. The entire coast was in a mess, and the camps were in ruins.
Most of the place had been burned down, and the corpses of soldiers and enemy soldiers were strewn all over the ground. It seemed that the place had been extremely thrilling last night, and there had been a thrilling battle.
After the warship docked, Hong Chengchou began to clean up the mess and reorganize the army. At this time, a team of more than 200 people appeared behind the cliff in the west. Everyone was shocked, thinking that the enemy was attacking. After a closer look, they discovered that this group of people turned out to be
Huai'an Army.
The leader of the team, Mu Linfeng, also knew him. It was Zhang Jian, the general who had helped Mu Linfeng in Huai'an City. Mu Linfeng had once suspected him of betrayal, but now he saw blood on his armor, and all the soldiers behind him were covered in blood.
He was covered in blood, and it seemed that he had gone through a desperate battle.
Hong Chengchou noticed Zhang Jian and immediately shouted: "Xiao Jianzi, do you know that losing Huai'an is a capital crime?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian immediately knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "The crime of the last general is just a matter of asking Sir and Mu Shuai to give the last general a chance to perform meritorious deeds. After the last general retakes Huai'an, he will be killed or beheaded. The last sentence of the general's awakening will be revealed."
Complain!”
Hong Chengchou snorted coldly when he heard this and said, "Huai'an was lost from your hands. Now there are tens of thousands of defenders in Huai'an. Are you the only two or two hundred people left?"
Zhang Jian immediately said: "Not only that, there are thousands of people stationed on the cliff. This is just the vanguard led by the last general, who is returning to Huai'an to inquire about the military situation!"
When Hong Chengchou heard that the sergeant was still there, he seemed a little calmer, and then he said to Zhang Jian: "I have no right to interfere with your sins. Whether you live or die depends on how Mu Shuai handles it!"
, wà.

n! Mu Linfeng stood aside and kept paying attention to Zhang Jian's expressions during the conversation with Hong Chengchou. He didn't notice anything strange. Then he stepped forward to help Zhang Jian up and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. General Zhang, don't pay too much attention to it."
, today we lose
After Huai'an, just take it back... It seems that General Zhang was also seriously injured. What is the specific situation? To say that our army's defense is not weak, even if the enemy's army is several times as many as our army, as long as our army holds on to the city and does not leave.
, it’s not like that, right?”
Zhang Jian immediately said: "Mu Shuai doesn't know something. Originally, these tens of thousands of thieves were pretending to attack the city, but a large number of people were not trapped near the water village port. Zhang knew that Mr. Hong and Mu Shuai were both at the port, so he was worried
Someone is unfavorable to the two adults. It seems that these people pretending to attack the city are just a cover. Their real goal is the port. What's more, someone has already let the wind out, and someone is eyeing the Japanese warships in the port.
The more the general thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he led his troops out to rescue the port. Little did he know that this was the enemy's plan. As soon as the general opened the city gate and dispatched his troops, he saw the bandits outside the city coming to kill them immediately, and there were ambushes all around.
Thousands of people came out at once, and the general knew that it was too late to be fooled, and then... Alas, it is all the general's fault after all, and after the general recaptures Huai'an, it will be up to you, Marshal Mu, to deal with it!"
After hearing this, Mu Linfeng pondered in his heart for a long time. Looking at Zhang Jian's expression, the indignation on his face did not seem to be fake. It seemed that this was a premeditated plan by the enemy, and the purpose was to seize Huai'an. The previous attack on the port and the battle at sea,
It all seems to be a cover.
Mu Linfeng was about to speak when he saw a general behind Zhang Jian kneeling down in front of Mu Linfeng and saying, "The general has something to say!"
Zhang Jian turned around when he heard this and shouted: "Tang Canjun, how can you be allowed to speak here?"
Mu Linfeng saw that this soldier was also covered in scars, his helmet was missing, and the sword on his waist had long since lost its scabbard. The body of the sword was full of blood, which had solidified, and the blade seemed to be damaged. He thought it was because he had cut too many people.
, Mu Linfeng was so busy: "This general, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
The soldier immediately said: "Commander Mu, you really can't blame General Zhang this time. Although General Zhang miscalculated the enemy, he was still willing to help each other. Moreover, after the enemy troops entered the city, Zhang Jian fought to the death with the enemy invaders. He had more than ten large and small wounds on his body.
, still persisting on the battlefield, after the city was finally lost, General Zhang led us to attack the city seven times despite being wounded..."
Zhang Jian shouted quickly from the side: "Tang Shenjun, stop talking about these useless nonsense!"
Mu Linfeng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard this, and then said: "Mu didn't mean to blame General Zhang. General, you are too worried!" After saying that, he quickly stepped forward to help the general, and then asked: "
General, what is your name?"
The general immediately cupped his fists and said, "The last general is Tang Changfeng!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Linfeng quickly patted Tang Changfeng on the shoulder, and then said to Zhang Jian: "General Zhang, it is your blessing to have such a person join the army, and it is also the blessing of our Huai'an Army..." Mu Linfeng said and took a few steps forward.
, said to the generals: "The loss of Huai'an is only temporary. All the brothers' relatives and elders are in the city. They don't know how to be ravaged by the bandits at this time. Brothers, can you bear this tone?"
Most of the soldiers were locals from Huai'an. When they heard this, they immediately said: "Can't...can't..." The voice suddenly shook the sky. Even though the other soldiers were not locals, there were many similar to the local soldiers.
My friends were immediately affected and started shouting together, feeling very high in morale.
Hong Chengchou said from the side: "Mu Shuai, I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
Mu Linfeng pondered for a while, and then said: "Not yet. What I am most worried about at the moment is whether the muskets of the port musketeers have fallen into the hands of the enemy. If so, there will be big trouble!" Mu Linfeng said
He turned to Zhang Jian and asked: "When General Zhang came to the port, was the port already like this?"
Zhang Jian nodded when he heard this and said: "Yes, after the general lost Huai'an, he began to move closer to the port. Little did he know that as soon as he came here, he found that the port had become a scorched earth, and there were no survivors. Even if there were, they were probably captured by the enemy.
If you leave or escape, the general is worried that there will be enemy troops here, so he pulls the team to the west mountain pass!"
After hearing this, Mu Linfeng muttered to himself, it seems that these musketeers are in danger. If all the muskets fall into the hands of the enemy, I am afraid that these muskets have become the enemy's tools to defend the city.
