After hearing Miko Takawa's words, Mu Linfeng reached out and held Miko Takawa's hand and smiled: "Miko, how could he leave? No matter how unwilling he is to lean against Li Zicheng, but after all, he is under Li Zicheng's roof. Whether he is sincere or false, he must be here, at least not leave the west bank of Huitonghe River."
Miko Tianchuan looked at Mu Linfeng in surprise, looked down at Mu Linfeng's hand, pondered for a moment, and then smiled: "My husband is right. If Zhang Xianzhong is too attached to Taiyuan, it will make Li Zicheng more alert. Zhang Xianzhong will naturally think of this. Even if he thinks, his advisers will also think of him, so Zhang Xianzhong now has only one choice..."
Before Miko Takawa could speak, she heard a shout of killing in Zhang Xianzhong's military camp on the west bank of Huitong River soaring into the sky. Suddenly, a burst of dust rose into the air. Mu Linfeng immediately asked all the gunners to continue shooting. The enemy was not moving. You provoked and the enemy was dispatched, but you stopped shooting. Isn't it obvious that you were luring the enemy into deeper? This forced Zhang Xianzhong to stop on the west bank and not cross the river.
Mu Linfeng watched Zhang Xianzhong's military camp scattering to the sides where the artillery fire was concentrated, and then rushed towards the riverside. It was black and could be described as crowded, but it was quite organized. Hundreds of cannons were immediately placed on the other side of the river. The musket battalion on Mu Linfeng's side was fully prepared, and the gunpowder and iron eggs were loaded, just waiting for Mu Linfeng to give orders.
However, Mu Linfeng did not order fire, but asked everyone to take a step back ten steps, and then let the artillery bombard the enemy's ranks, and finally let the musketeers start shooting. The soldiers began to wonder. The range of the fire on the river bank was just right, so they had to take a step back ten steps. Wouldn't this be beyond the range of the musket? But since it was Mu Linfeng's order, he had to do it.
Mu Linfeng set up artillery for Zhang Xianzhong at this time and fired at the military camp. Sure enough, the enemy troops on the other side had already set up artillery one after another. With the commander's order, hundreds of shells flew over. In the camp of Mu Linfeng's soldiers exploded one after another. Mu Linfeng ordered the soldiers to continue firing, and while asking the soldiers to retreat. The artillery on the other side was ready, he heard the sound of muskets. Seeing the momentum of the opposite side, Zhang Xianzhong's musketeers were at least ten times more than Mu Linfeng's side.
After Mu Linfeng laughed secretly, he shouted: "The enemy's firepower is too strong, we will continue to retreat. General Hong's order is to prevent these rebels from crossing the river. As long as we block their way, the mission will be completed..."
Mu Linfeng's shout seemed to be afraid that the soldiers on the other side would not hear it. Miko Takawa couldn't help laughing when she saw this, but she just stayed with Mu Linfeng to prevent him from getting hurt at all.
The soldiers on the east coast were a little confused and didn't understand why Mu Linfeng was like this. However, I had heard that Mu Linfeng was a genius commander who had won every battle. Even if there were more than 100 in Fujian, there would be only a few thousand people fighting the entire Fujian. In the end, it would be difficult to escape. What's more, the second confrontation with Fujian immediately disintegrated the entire Fujian power and drove the Zheng family, who had been in Fujian for many years, to Ryukyu Island. They all thought that Mu Linfeng's use of this move was also a step in the strategy?
Although most of the soldiers thought so, they still doubted that this time, Hong Chengchou first sent more than 10,000 soldiers to guard the river, and later transferred more than half of them for no reason, leaving only five thousand. Then Mu Linfeng first asked the gunners to bombard the open space, and now they retreated for no reason. As long as they concentrated their firepower to face the west bank, it would not be so easy for Zhang Xianzhong's gunner to have the opportunity to mount the gun... The soldiers were muttering in their hearts.
Mu Linfeng ignored the thoughts and strange eyes of the soldiers and generals. This made them retreat. Zhang Xianzhong's team on the west bank had found hundreds of ships and was beginning to force cross the Huitong River. Huitong River was not wide, but not narrow. The river water was not as fast as the river and sea. The boatman who was urgently drawn by Zhang Xianzhong was shaking his slurry and rowing towards the east bank with horror.
At this time, Mu Linfeng did not let the soldiers continue to retreat, but instead fired on the boat in Huitong River. The gunners and musketeers of Zhang Xianzhong's troops on the west bank were not idle, and they kept firing on the east bank. The musketeers who had already boarded the ship did not dare to neglect them, and they squatted down to keep shooting at the east bank smoothly.
The range of the musket is limited, and the range of Zhang Xianzhong's musket is twenty or thirty meters shorter than that of Mu Linfeng. Although Zhang Xianzhong's troops suffer a loss on the firearm, Zhang Xianzhong's troops are unfamiliar with people. Relying on the large number of people, it is nothing to die. Soon the ones behind came up and used human-to-man tactics. With Mu Linfeng's deliberate concessions, the first batch of beach-grabbing troops of Zhang Xianzhong's troops had already landed on the east coast, with a population of no less than a thousand.
This is the case with the landing war. If you keep it tightly and prevent it from landing, it would be fine. Once someone breaks through and the landing is successful, the soldiers behind will no longer be scruples. Just like the siege battle, once the first enemy can climb the city wall, then the back will be endless and cannot be blocked, not to mention that Mu Linfeng obviously released the water this time.
At first, Mu Linfeng asked the soldiers to pretend to stop him. When Zhang Xianzhong's west coast team rushed to the ashore like a flood, even if Mu Linfeng really wanted to stop Zhang Xianzhong at this time, it would be impossible. He immediately ordered all the soldiers and gunners to start retreating.
When Mu Linfeng was retreating, he looked back at the shore and saw that a burly man stood on a boat in the river, wearing armor, with cheeks, tiger eyes, dragon eyebrows, a straight nose and wide mouth, and a pair of angry eyes. He was also looking at this place. Even Mu Linfeng couldn't help but praise him in his heart. It was a man, and then he thought to himself, could this person be Zhang Xianzhong?

When Mu Linfeng and his group "escaped" to Chongzhou City, the walls of Chongzhou had collapsed in a different way. There were even smoke from the city. There were burning houses everywhere. Some even the houses had burned into a sea of fire. The whole city was filled with noise, crying, and howling... The steam cannons of the Southern Ming army outside the city have now stopped designing. Forty or fifty thousand musketeers were entering Chongzhou City very neatly, and then they heard fragmentary gunshots and screams.
Hong Chengchou rode on the horse and looked at Chongzhou City with a serious look on his face. At this time, he saw Mu Linfeng leading the soldiers on the banks of Huitong River back, and quickly turned his head and came over to Mu Linfeng. As soon as Mu Linfeng saw Hong Chengchou, he immediately said to Hong Chengchou: "Sir Hong, allocate 20,000 musketeers to me immediately..."
Mu Linfeng said as he jumped to Hong Chengchou's side, and then he tied the reins and continued: "Zhang Xianzhong's troops have crossed the river. I will cut off his retreat later. Let's attack both of us..."
Hong Chengchou nodded immediately after hearing this, and then mobilized the musketeers of two divisions, four steam cannons, and one hundred cannons. Mu Linfeng immediately led the crowd to the south, and went south to the Huitong River bank on the south side of Chongzhou. He then asked the soldiers to go to the nearby village to recruit dozens of ships, transported one hundred cannons and five thousand people to the west coast, and then the people on both sides rushed north quickly.
Mu Linfeng took less than an hour to do this, but when Mu Linfeng returned to the west of Chongzhou, Zhang Xianzhong's troops and Hong Chengchou's troops had already fought in a group. Before Mu Linfeng could reach his destination, he had already heard the sound of gunfire.
At this time, Mu Linfeng asked the commander to pass the orders to the soldiers on the west bank and directly attacked the military camp on the west bank of Zhang Xianzhong. At the same time, he left a thousand musketeers and sixty cannons to set up on the west bank to guard the estuary of the river. On the east bank, he immediately rushed to the place where Zhang Xianzhong's troops had just landed, and immediately knocked down the enemy troops guarding the riverside, and asked the soldiers to burn all the ships in the river, and then began to lead the crowd to siege Zhang Xianzhong east.
When Mu Linfeng led the troops to the rear of Zhang Xianzhong's army, the soldiers were obviously not surprised, but they were still caught off guard and began to turn around. Four or five thousand musketeers lined up in an arc, and the gunners were behind and started firing at Mu Linfeng's team.
Mu Linfeng was not in a hurry to attack Zhang Xianzhong. After finding the right range, he immediately asked the four steam cannons to be set up. The musketeers were covering the front. After the steam cannon was set up successfully, they had to start burning coal to boost pressure. It took some time. Mu Linfeng first asked the musketeers to start provoking the rear of Zhang Xianzhong's troops and distracting their attention.
When the steam cannon boosting standard on Mu Linfeng's side had not met the standard, he heard more than a dozen rumbling sounds in Zhang Xianzhong's formation ahead, and then a fire light burst out, screaming endlessly. Mu Linfeng knew that Hong Chengchou had already started firing at Zhang Xianzhong.
Not to mention how much power the steam cannon is greater than that of the cannon, the sound alone is like thunder. Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers have never heard of this sound. At first, they thought it was a bolt from the blue. Later, they looked back at the firelight on the ground where their army was shot, and the corpse that was still burning clothes, and the injured soldiers on the side screamed with their legs and feet. Only then did they know that this was not a bolt from the blue, but the other party's cannon.
The soldiers of Zhang Xianzhong's army also knew that Mu Linfeng's artillery was powerful, but the generals said that the artillery force of their army was almost the same as Mu Linfeng's. Looking at the mess after being bombed, how many artillery would be needed to bomb this place like this, the soldiers of Zhang Xianzhong's army began to show their terrified faces. This expression would definitely not be inferior to the expressions of those Japanese people after Hiroshima's atomic bombing.
