Chapter 359 [Distressed city waiting for help, target Yangzhou] three
He only heard Yang Lao San's "ah" sound, and then there was another bang, which was the sound of Yang Lao San falling to the ground. Mu Linfeng didn't have time to think about it, and immediately took out the Thousand-Hand Guanyin and fired at Yang Lao San.
More than ten guns.
As soon as Yang Laosan landed on the ground, he already expected that Mu Linfeng would shoot, and he quickly started rolling on the ground. Although he avoided several shots, he was eventually shot in his right arm.
When Mu Linfeng was about to shoot again, many enemy troops had already come forward. They surrounded Yang Lao San and blocked Yang Lao San with his own body. They then lifted Yang Lao San and retreated backwards.
Mu Linfeng raised his head and looked into the distance. He saw two people riding fine horses in the enemy formation not far away. They were the two brothers Long Qingfeng and Long Qingyun. They were also looking up at the tower.
of Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng couldn't help but wonder where the Long brothers and Yang Laosan found so many soldiers and horses. Then he thought that several counties in the south of the Yangtze River were already under the control of the Long brothers. This scene seemed to be obvious. First, he sent a few
When people came to Huai'an to cause trouble, they immediately sent people to sneak attack the Navy barracks, and then led the main force of the Navy barracks to the sea to delay time. By this time, the defenders in southern Huai'an had relaxed, and then the troops stationed in Changzhou and Wuxi moved northward.
After pretending to attack the naval camp and drawing out all the defenders of Huai'an City, they captured Huai'an in one fell swoop and then began the current strategy.
When Mu Linfeng discovered that he had been tricked, he used all his generals to ambush around the south gate of Huai'an City, waiting for Mu Linfeng to attack the city, and then drove all the Huai'an troops into the city. In this way, if Huai'an City was surrounded, Huai'an would be destroyed.
The army has no wings and can hardly fly.
When Mu Linfeng thought of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It turned out that his actions had always been in the enemy's plan. Retaking Huai'an so easily always made Mu Linfeng feel a little uneasy. Now it seems that the biggest possibility is that Long
The brothers wanted to trap themselves in Huai'an City.
But there is another point that Mu Linfeng has not yet understood. Why didn't Senior Brother Long go directly to capture Yangzhou? And how did the Long brothers know that they would come to Huai'an? What's more, even if they were trapped in Huai'an, Yangzhou to the west would not receive
After hearing the news, they will definitely come to help. Could it be that... Mu Linfeng couldn't help but feel shocked when he thought of this. Could it be that the target of the Long brothers is not Huai'an, but Yangzhou?
Yes, according to the current cases of the Long brothers, there are definitely more than ten thousand cases. There must still be cases stationed somewhere, waiting for Yangzhou to come to Huai'an... Thinking of this, Mu Linfeng immediately thought that he would also follow the example of the Long brothers and Yang Lao.
San did not expect that he was in Huai'an at this moment, but he wanted to use the opportunity to attack Huai'an to lure him to help Huai'an. However, he did not expect that he would surrender himself and be sent to his door to be captured by the Long brothers.
All the enemy troops on the city tower had been wiped out, and the soldiers blocking the door gradually entered the city under the guidance of Hong Chengchou. The enemy troops did not intend to attack the city, but pretended to pursue them for a while.
The troops began to withdraw, which further confirmed Mu Linfeng's idea that they must besiege Huai'an.
At this time, there were no common people on Huai'an Street, and the street was full of exhausted soldiers. They had no place to rest for the time being, and some simply lay down and fell asleep under the trees on the roadside.
While Hong Chengchou checked whether the defense facilities at each city gate were damaged, he sent people to appease the people in the city. Mu Linfeng, Tokugawa Ie, Tagawa Miko, and Hong'er went to the Huai'an government office to rest.
Tokugawa Ie saw that Tagawa Meiko and Hong'er seemed to be muttering something together, but she couldn't hear clearly for a moment. She couldn't help frowning and asked: "Miko, when did you become so close to sister Hong'er?"
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he also looked at the two of them. In fact, Tokugawa Ie also asked the question he wanted to ask. Tagawa Meiko has always disliked Hong'er, and she had rejected her many times before, but today she not only fought with Hong'er.
, and seems to have a lot to say.
After hearing this, Meiko Tagawa and Hong'er both raised their eyebrows, and then Meiko Tagawa said to Tokugawa Ie: "Miss, I don't know something. This time Meiko was in the Huai'an cell to investigate the whereabouts of Yu Haisheng, and happened to encounter the enemy's attack on the city, and
Prisoners in several cells in Huai'an also began to riot. Although Meiko was very skilled in martial arts, she was still accidentally shot by the enemy. It happened that Miss Hong'er rushed to save Meiko..."
Tokugawa Jiehui and Mu Linfeng nodded at the same time and said: "That's it!"
Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "That's fine, as long as Tagawa Meiko doesn't target Hong'er, there will be one less threshold for marrying Hong'er in the future!"
But I heard Tagawa Meiko say again: "Now Meiko has married Jinlan with Sister Hong'er, and they have become sisters with different surnames!"
After hearing this, Mu Linfeng and Tokugawa Iehui were both in the same mood. Hong'er, who had been silent for a long time, said at this time: "Yes, I have become sisters with sister Meiko!" He glanced at Mu Linfeng as he said that.
, then turned to look at Tokugawa Ie, and then continued: "Without Madam's permission, it's Hong'er!"
Tokugawa Ie quickly smiled and said: "It's a good thing that you become sisters, why do you need my permission?"
Hong'er hadn't spoken yet, but she heard Tagawa Meiko on the side saying: "Sister Hong'er said that Meiko is your slave, miss. This kind of thing still needs your approval, miss!"
Tokugawa Ie heard this and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that you two have become sworn brothers, I won't disagree!"
Mu Linfeng sat aside and drank tea, while looking at the three women, he sighed in his heart: "If the three of you get along like this in the future, I will have a lot less worry!" Thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at Tagawa Miko a few more times.
He thought to himself: "What kind of person is this Yu Haisheng? He can actually make you do this to him. I have to get to know him well when I meet him in the future..." Thinking that Tagawa Meiko has a heart, she can't help but feel a little disappointed. You must know that Mu Linfeng treats women
The desire to conquer is often much stronger than that of other women in reality, not to mention hot girls like Tagawa Miko, who can arouse Mu Linfeng's desire to conquer even more.
But the most important thing at the moment is the situation in Huai'an. Although Mu Linfeng is lustful, he does not ignore the occasion. He is just simply thinking wildly. After secretly thinking about it, he began to think of a good strategy to defeat the enemy.
At this time, Hong Chengchou came back from the government office, and Mu Linfeng immediately asked about the situation in Huai'an and the situation of the enemy troops outside the city.
According to Hong Chengchou, people in Huai'an City are now in panic. All the people know that a war is about to begin, and they stay in their homes and dare not go out. Mu Linfeng thinks this is good, as it saves a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Hong Chengchou briefly introduced the city defenses in Huai'an City to Mu Linfeng. Basically, the four city gates were intact, and just now Hong Chengchou had rearranged the four city training soldiers, and Zhang Jian was also sent by Hong Chengchou.
Several trouble-making cells inquired about the situation.
At this time, the outside of Huai'an City was blocked by enemy troops. Everything was as Mu Linfeng expected. The enemy troops had no intention of attacking the city. It seemed that the only purpose of encircling the city without attacking was to wait for reinforcements from Yangzhou.
.
But even so, there may be two situations. One is to besiege Huai'an and fight for reinforcements. That is to say, surround Huai'an and not let go, but wait for the reinforcements to come and eliminate the reinforcements one by one. The other possibility is to attack in the east and attack in the west, that is, to ride on the reinforcements from Yangzhou to Huai'an
, Yangzhou was empty, the Long brothers sent troops to attack Yangzhou again, so Yangzhou's reinforcements would ignore both front and rear. If they came to Huai'an, it would be too late to return to Yangzhou.
After Mu Linfeng expressed his thoughts, everyone nodded in agreement, but no one could come up with any countermeasures. If dead soldiers are sent to Yangzhou to report the news now, so that Yangzhou does not come with reinforcements, then Huai'an will be the worst.
Just support for ten days.
Because Hong Chengchou said at this time that one of the biggest problems currently encountered in Huai'an is that the military rations in the city have been transported away by the enemy. If they are mobilized from the hands of the people, they can only last for ten days at most. After all, the people also need to eat.
We can't starve the people. If the people rebel again, wouldn't it be chaos?
Such a huge problem is placed in front of everyone, that is, the problem of food and grass. If the Yangzhou Army does not come to help, Huai'an can only last ten days. In other words, a good strategy against the enemy must be found within these ten days.
.
Mu Linfeng saw that everyone was helpless. It seemed that he could not rely on these people to come up with a solution. He could only rely on himself. However, since he could still hold on for ten days, he would not rush for the moment. The most important thing now was to mobilize the people and start
Gather food.
Hong Chengchou immediately volunteered to collect food, but Mu Linfeng said: "I won't bother Master Hong with this matter, let's leave it to Chen Zilong? Oh, by the way, where is Chen Zilong? Mu has been here for two days and I haven't seen him yet.
Where’s Brother Guo Zilong!”
As soon as Mu Linfeng finished speaking, he heard someone outside the hall laugh and say: "Mu Shuai, Zilong is here!" The person who spoke was none other than Chen Zilong.
