On Tianjinwei's beach, in less than an hour, they were bombarded with steam cannons. Most of the tens of thousands of soldiers on the entire beach were killed or injured. The corpses were piled up like mountains. The wounded were crying and running away in shock. It's scary to think about it.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at the mess on the beach.
The four armored monsters on the coast are still firing at the inland, but this time the target is not the beach, but the inland city. Although Tianjin City is not within the shooting range, it has scared the people in the city.
He fled in all directions with the soldiers on the city wall.
After Mu Linfeng's goal was achieved, he ordered the four warships to stop shooting, and then went north around the Tianjin coastline. He once again staged a scene in Tianjin in Yongping Mansion, and then directly crossed the sea to Fuzhou and Jinzhou.
After a while, the four armored ships were allowed to return to Weihai.
After ravaging the Manchus at sea for several days, the first news Mu Linfeng received when he returned to Weihai was that Dorgon's soldiers who invaded and occupied Jinan Prefecture had all withdrawn and headed north to defend Hejian, Zhending, and Baoding, the three gateway fortresses of Beijing.
Went.
Mu Linfeng had already expected that Dorgon would do this. After all, he had done so many things at sea, and it was not in vain. The shells also cost money. If he just intimidated Dorgon, he could hit him directly.
In front of the gate of the Forbidden City, at the same time that Dorgon withdrew from Jinan, Hong Chengchou quickly sent troops to take over Jinan.
As for Li Zicheng, there was no big move. After Li Zicheng occupied the main points of Xuzhou, he began to consolidate Xuzhou's city defense. He neither went north nor south. The four gates of Xuzhou City were closed tightly, and people were strictly prohibited from entering and exiting freely. It was simply
Unable to get the needle in, Hong Chengchou and Zhang Xianzhong both sent out spies, but ultimately returned without success.
Zhang Xianzhong also captured Dezhou in one fell swoop when Mu Linfeng went north, but there was no direct conflict with Li Zicheng's troops, and all the troops in northern Fengyang and Huai'an had withdrawn to Xuzhou.
When Mu Linfeng heard the news, he simply couldn't believe it. This Li Zicheng was so funny. How could someone get into a turtle shell by himself? If he felt that there was no chance in Shandong, he should take the opportunity to return to Shaanxi, and
Li Zicheng did exactly the opposite and huddled himself in Xuzhou. What was his intention?
Mu Linfeng didn't care what Li Zicheng wanted to do in Xuzhou, but this was a God-given opportunity that could not be missed. He immediately asked Zhang Xianzhong's troops to set off from Dezhou and Chongzhou to block all Li Zicheng's exits. Hong Chengchou also set out from Andong to Xuzhou.
The city was completely surrounded.
However, with the precedent of Li Zicheng's sneak attack on Luzhou, this time we must be careful. We still have to do a good job in the defense of Dezhou. Zhang Xianzhong left more than 20,000 people in Dezhou to be responsible for the response, while Mu Linfeng went directly
Fengyang, closest to Xuzhou, a temporary command post was established in Fengyang.
The tactic was still to be polite first and then to attack. Mu Linfeng asked more than 300,000 troops to take Xuzhou as the main force, and asked more than 300,000 people to shout "Li Zicheng, quickly leave the city and surrender" at the same time. The sound was definitely no less than the cheering shouts at the Olympic venues.
The result was completely predictable to Mu Linfeng. If shouting a few words could make others surrender, would there still be a war? What Mu Linfeng is most curious about now is why Li Zicheng clung to Xuzhou instead of retreating. What hope did he see?
Has the war really damaged your brain?
Mu Linfeng meditated hard, and in the end there was only one possibility, that is, Li Zicheng must have received some news from Long Qingfeng? Could it be that Long Qingfeng deceived Li Zicheng, and he would come to help and let Li Zicheng stick to Xuzhou and hold back Mu Linfeng's main force?
To attack other places?
If this is the case, Li Zicheng is too stupid, but Mu Linfeng also felt a little uneasy at the same time. Is this really as simple as deceiving Li Zicheng? If Long Qingfeng really did this, he really wanted to take advantage of his own troops to be in Xuzhou
Here, if he were to sneak attack on me, where would he attack?
Mu Linfeng paced around the military camp, stopping from time to time to look at the map. He didn't say a word for a long time. Tagawa Miko just watched quietly. Mu Linfeng was staring at the map at this time, and he was still looking at Luzhou.
Only this place is exposed to the front, with Runing on the top, Huangzhou on the west, and Anqing on the bottom. If Long Qingfeng sends troops to these three cities, then Luzhou's current military defense can be said to be completely vulnerable.

Mu Linfeng completely ruled out the possibility of Dezhou. After all, this city had just been captured, and it would not be a pity to lose it. However, Luzhou was different. Li Zicheng had already made a sneak attack once before, and Li Zicheng was now trapped in Xuzhou. He never expected that there would be anyone else.
I will make a surprise attack on Luzhou again.
This unexpected reason is very simple. This time it is cooperation with Long Qingfeng. Long Qingfeng has been emphasizing that he only wants to get rid of Li Zicheng, so he will definitely think that Mu Linfeng is neglecting Long Qingfeng because he has a covenant in front of him.
It's a pity that Long Qingfeng missed one point in his calculations. When Mu Linfeng cooperated with Long Qingfeng, he also had an agreement with Dorgon. Dorgon broke the agreement first, so Mu Linfeng's head was caught in the door.
, he will probably be even more wary of Long Qingfeng.
And this time, Mu Linfeng did make a miscalculation. Mu Linfeng only calculated Long Qingfeng's strength before, but missed Long Qingfeng's ambition. A person with inflated ambitions will definitely ignore his strength, let alone Long Qingfeng.
Qingfeng's ambition was not only inflated, but also her confidence.
Although all this is still Mu Linfeng's personal speculation, now that he has thought of it, he must be on guard and prepare for defense. Fortunately, this time it was discovered early, and the main force was not too far from Luzhou, so Mu Linfeng immediately dispatched
Fifty thousand men, horses and twelve steam cannons returned to Luzhou to aid.
If the calculation is wrong, the most it can do is defend Luzhou's city defense. There are still more than 200,000 troops in Xuzhou, which is more than enough to deal with a mere Xuzhou. If the calculation is right, then Mu Linfeng would rather let Li Zicheng go than
It will deal a devastating blow to the enemy troops who sneak attack Luzhou.
Because of this, Mu Linfeng, after letting the soldiers shout for a day, officially informed Xuzhou City that they would attack the city tomorrow. However, he was thinking in his heart that he could not capture Xuzhou as quickly as possible and would have to spend it slowly. This time, it was not
Long Qingfeng came to attack Luzhou secretly, but Mu Linfeng was waiting for work. When the time comes, the troops in Xuzhou can immediately return to support and block the enemy's retreat in Luzhou.
Steam cannons were not used in the small-scale battle in Xuzhou. After all, the main purpose at the moment was not to capture Xuzhou. Besides, Li Zicheng was now unable to fly, and even if he was exhausted, he would be slowly consumed.
Mu Linfeng was so clever this time. Four days later, he received the battle report. Luzhou was attacked by enemy troops. And just as Mu Linfeng expected, troops were sent from Runing, Huangzhou and Anqing. Here in Runing is
Long Qingfeng personally led the army, Long Qingyun sent troops from Huangzhou, and Yanglao San from Anqing.
Without saying a word, Mu Linfeng immediately asked Hong Chengchou to continue the siege of Xuzhou, while Zhang Xianzhong's troops immediately went to Luzhou to rush for reinforcements. After all, Mu Linfeng knew that Zhang Xianzhong knew that Long Qingfeng had betrayed him, and he would definitely fight to the death with Long Qingfeng this time.
In fact, not only Zhang Xianzhong had a grudge against Long Qingfeng, but Mu Linfeng also had a grudge. After immediately handing over all matters in Xuzhou to Hong Chengchou, he and Tagawa Meiko rushed to Luzhou City overnight.
When Mu Linfeng and Tagawa Meiko arrived in Luzhou, the war here had already started. Fortunately, Mu Linfeng had made preparations in advance, otherwise the Long brothers' troops might have reached Yangzhou City this time.
On the way to Luzhou, Mu Linfeng was settling a score. If the forces of Li Zicheng and the Long brothers could be taken down in one fell swoop in the Shandong battle, I'm afraid there would be no more wars in the north, at most.
Even the commander-in-chief of each county has his or her own ideas, either to occupy the mountain and become the king, or to find another emperor. As long as Li Zicheng and the Long brothers are defeated, the north will basically fall apart, and only Manchuria in the northeast will be left.
And if Li Zicheng and the Long brothers were defeated in this battle, Dorgon would definitely take the opportunity to attack the city and consolidate the power of Manchuria. However, this was no longer relevant to Mu Linfeng. The shock of the previous four armored ships
I believe that it will allow Dorgon to have some worries while running wild, and he will not have any big achievements for the time being.
If Li Zicheng and the Long brothers can be captured this time, then the issue of war funding that has been a headache before will definitely no longer be a problem. Anyway, the army has already reached this point this time, so it is better to work together and decide Jiangbei's situation here.
destiny.
Therefore, this battle is very important to Mu Linfeng, and it is even more important to the overall situation facing Jiangbei in the future. It goes without saying that it is even more important to the overall situation of the world. Only after the domestic peace is settled can the internal affairs be unified.
foreign.
There was heavy artillery fire outside Luzhou City. Although the people inside the city were extremely frightened by the defeat, they were still in peace. Anyone with a bit of military history knowledge knows that it is best not to place the battlefield on your own position. Zhang Xianzhong has experienced many battles.
Common sense still knows this.
The artillery on the three walls of Luzhou City closely monitors the situation on the battlefield. Two shifts take turns to replace the musketeers. The musketeers work in three shifts and are always ready. The battlefields on the east, west and north sides of Luzhou City have been spread out. Here is Zhang Xianzhong in the north.
The troops came directly from the north and happened to be facing off against Long Qingfeng's Runing Army.
Zhang Xianzhong was furious. There was no reason to say that all the generals and soldiers under Zhang Xianzhong were soldiers from Sichuan. Naturally, they hated Long Qingfeng even more. They were all extremely brave. Even in the previous battle of Chongzhou, they were not seen.
They are so desperate.
