Mu Linfeng nodded, then called Chen Yuanyuan over, then took the hands of Chen Yuanyuan and Hong'er, and said to Chen Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, you are the most sensible here. Hong'er has been wandering alone in other places for so long, and you have been there several times.
After you saved me, you have to take good care of her for me, and you can't let Meier and the others bully Hong'er!"
When Chen Yuanyuan heard what Mu Linfeng said, she couldn't help but glance at Hong'er, and then assured Mu Linfeng: "Mu Lang, don't worry, with Yuanyuan here, Hong'er won't be bullied!"
Mu Linfeng nodded when he heard the words, and then said to Hong'er: "Hong'er, you can live here with peace of mind, they will not make things difficult for you, except for this Mei'er, alas, in fact, he is just unruly.
Some, if she says something you don’t like to hear in the future, don’t blame her!”
When Hong'er saw that Mu Linfeng had specifically asked Chen Yuanyuan to take care of herself before leaving, she couldn't help but feel moved, and quickly said to Mu Linfeng: "Hong'er knows, be careful when you go to Huai'an, don't think about us!"
Mu Linfeng nodded, then smiled slightly, and immediately left the Mu Mansion without giving the women any more time to ask questions. At this time, Yang Geng and Chen Hui had been waiting outside the door of the mansion for a long time. When they saw Mu Linfeng
, and immediately brought Mu Linfeng’s war horse.
After all the women left Kou Baimen and Tagawa Meiko, they all sent Mu Linfeng to the door of Mu Mansion. They all seemed reluctant to leave Mu Linfeng. Mu Linfeng immediately jumped on his horse and told the women not to send them far away. Then he and Chen
Hui, Yang Geng rode out.
Mu Linfeng and three other people rode horses on the streets of Yangzhou. When passing by Meixiang Building, Mu Linfeng couldn't help but slow down and took a few more glances. At this time, Meixiang Building had not opened for business yet, and the door was still closed.
Mu Linfeng didn't want to raise his head and glanced at the window upstairs, thinking that he hadn't seen Li Fangyi and Liu Rushi for a long time, but it was not appropriate to visit them at this moment, so he had to wait until the situation in Jiangnan calmed down before visiting them again.
Mu Linfeng, Chen Hui, and Yang Geng marched all the way to Huai'an, and by some time they had caught up with the 30,000 Yangzhou Army led by Chen Dahan. After meeting with Chen Dahan, they headed for Huai'an together.
All the troops arrived at Huai'an City at noon the next day. By this time, Hong Chengchou had made all preparations, including food, grass, baggage, ships... everything was ready, and he was waiting for Mu Linfeng's army to arrive.
Mu Linfeng did not give the army a chance to breathe, and immediately ordered all the troops and merchant ships. The 30,000 Yangzhou Army, plus the 20,000 Huai'an Army, brought the 20,000 Huai'an Army with him. There was no hope that they could attack the city and plunder the city.
After all, their marksmanship is not yet proficient. The main reason is that after capturing a city, they always need men and horses to garrison it. I believe that with 20,000 men and firearms, they can garrison at least five or six cities.
After everyone boarded the warship, Mu Linfeng appointed Zhang Jian from Huai'an to follow the battle. Hong Chengchou stayed in Huai'an to do support work. At the same time, he also appointed Chen Zilong to assist Hong Chengchou in coordinating food and grass. In short, he did everything he could to ensure the attack on the front.
Supply guarantee for the war department.
In addition to Zhang Jian, there were also Chen Hui, Chen Dahan and Yang Geng who followed Mu Linfeng in the battle. The three strong men and one think tank were enough to attack Suzhou first.
Before Mu Linfeng boarded the ship, he inquired about Wu Xing's movements and found out that the firearms shipped by Wu Xing were already on their way to Japan, and that Wu Xing was also on his way to Yangzhou. He felt relieved and immediately told Hong Chengchou that Fang A Airlines could meet him in the near future.
Come to Huai'an and ask Hong Chengchou to make all preparations so that Fang Jiahang can supervise the construction of the shipyard in Huai'an.
The sails were raised and the first part of the attack on Jiangnan began smoothly. Twenty warships set off for the waters of Suzhou at the same time. According to Yang Geng's speculation, it would only take one day at most to travel from the waters of Huai'an to the waters of Suzhou. Today's Suzhou should also have been
We have received the news and are actively preparing for war.
On the warship, Mu Linfeng asked all the soldiers to have a musket in each hand, and all the Yangzhou Army's warships sailed at the front. After all, they had experience in firearms combat, and all the artillery on the warships had been loaded and ready to cover at any time.
The soldiers landed, and some other artillerymen were also actively loading artillery for land combat, making preparations for all landings.
At night, Mu Linfeng asked all the warships to speed up and try to reach the Suzhou waters before dawn. Yang Geng immediately understood what Mu Linfeng meant. Mu Linfeng wanted to take them off guard.
As night fell, Mu Linfeng and others had been waiting for a long time. Chen Dahan and Chen Hui were even more impatient. The steel knives in their hands were blazing, and they were about to rush ashore as soon as the ship docked.
Chen Hui laughed at the side and said: "Brother Chen, I don't find it strange at all that Old Chen is like this. You are just like Old Chen now. You must not forget that those are your brothers in the past. You want to kill them so much."
With the state of my former companions, I am really worried about Lao Chen!"
When Shen Dahai heard this, he couldn't help but groaned: "What are you worried about? Now that I am Mu Shuai's man, of course I have to be like this. Maybe you want me to sit at the same table with those brothers after I get off the ship, so you won't worry anymore?"
Mu Linfeng said quickly: "I know who Dahan is. Mr. Chen, please don't make fun of him!"
Chen Hui quickly laughed and said: "Old Chen, I was just joking with him, I didn't want him to take it seriously!"
Upon seeing this, Yang Geng quickly smiled at Mu Linfeng and said, "This old Chen always likes to argue, Linfeng, don't blame him!"
Mu Linfeng shook his head, and then said: "How could it be!" As he said that, he looked into the distance. There was only the sound of waves on the sea surface in the middle of the night, and there was no end in sight. From time to time, little lights appeared in the distance. Mu Linfeng immediately said: "Everything
People are preparing to land!"
Immediately, all the soldiers on the twenty battleships lined up in formation and prepared for landing.
Mu Linfeng quickly shouted to the twenty warships: "All artillerymen, prepare!"

Suddenly, the artillerymen of twenty warships aimed their guns at the coastline at the same time, waiting for Mu Linfeng's order to immediately level the front.
Yang Geng stood next to Mu Linfeng, then looked forward and said to Mu Linfeng: "Is this range too far? Wait until the ship gets closer!"
Mu Linfeng laughed quickly and said: "Mr. Yang came here and knew the power of our army's artillery!" Mu Linfeng said this and immediately waved his hand to signal all the artillery to fire.
Suddenly the calm sea surface was rumbled with loud noises, and fire was splashing on the coastline in front. When Yang Geng saw this, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "This artillery is so powerful?"
Mu Linfeng said nothing, and then shouted to the soldiers on the twenty battleships: "Every five ships will land, and other battleships will cover it!"
At this time, the five battleships in front immediately moved closer to the coast. Under the cover of the gunfire of other battleships, all the musketeers began to land.
In fact, there were not many enemy defenses on the coast of Suzhou, so Mu Linfeng's 50,000 troops landed quickly. This was something Mu Linfeng and others did not expect. Could it be that the enemy had not received the news yet? This is unlikely.
The thing is that the enemy has set up an ambush at a certain point and is waiting for you to jump.
Mu Linfeng could no longer control so many troops, so he immediately arranged 50,000 troops to line up in a straight line. Every two Yangzhou troops included a Huai'an army. All the muskets were loaded and they began to move forward in a sweeping manner. Behind them were artillerymen pushing cannons to follow.
Later.
Fifty thousand people lined up in a line and marched for five or six miles. This lineup was enough to flatten the entire Suzhou. Unexpectedly, they did not encounter any enemy troops along the way. Yang Geng couldn't help but said to Mu Linfeng: "Linfeng
, is there something wrong? How come there aren’t even any enemy troops?”
Mu Linfeng also felt a little strange and couldn't figure it out for a while, but now that he was riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off, he couldn't withdraw his troops now, so he kept moving forward.
The footsteps of 50,000 horses were enough to be a deterrent. The entire ground seemed to be shaking with the sound of footsteps. Mu Linfeng led the army and walked for more than ten miles. It was not until early morning that he realized that there were surrounding areas.
It is an empty place, and there are no residents in the villages passing by.
Mu Linfeng did not let the soldiers rest, and marched westward until noon, when they discovered a city ahead. Yang Geng said to Mu Linfeng: "The city of Suzhou is ahead of us. Could it be that all the soldiers and civilians in Suzhou are in the city?"
Hearing what Yang Geng said, Mu Linfeng couldn't help but think: "Could it be that the enemy knew that our army's firearms were powerful and didn't want to fight hard, so they all hunkered down in the city and wanted to fight a protracted battle with our army and consume our army's endurance?"
Mu Linfeng immediately asked Tan Ma to investigate first, and when Tan Ma came back, he reported back: "All the soldiers and civilians seem to be hiding in the city. There are soldiers on the four walls and the city gates are closed. It seems true!"
Mu Linfeng thought deeply: "It seems that the enemy really wants to hold back our army in Suzhou!"
Mu Linfeng immediately asked 50,000 soldiers to surround Suzhou City, and then he said to Yang Geng: "Mr. Yang, in your opinion, how should this battle be fought?"
Yang Geng said: "Linfeng, the power of the artillery in your hand is so powerful. It only takes half an hour to bombard Suzhou. I'm afraid Suzhou will be turned into ruins. But in this case, what else do we need in Suzhou?"
