Chapter 864 [Qingping China, sweeping away the remnants] II
Long Qingyun led three thousand musketeers to successfully reach the east gate of Nanjing City, but Nanjing's city defense did not change because of this. Long Qingyun first asked the soldiers to stand by and took out a telescope to look at Nanjing City.
There was movement on the east gate tower and the soldiers were patrolling normally. Just when I was wondering if I didn't have enough troops to put pressure on Nanjing City, I saw the soldiers on the tower straightening something in front of the city wall. It seemed that
Checking...
Long Qingyun thought to himself at this time, could this be the machine gun that Mu Linfeng was worried about? Seeing Mu Linfeng's worried look, he thought that the machine gun would be as big as an artillery piece, but he didn't expect it to be an object so small that he couldn't even see it through a telescope.
, I really began to doubt whether the machine gun was as powerful as Mu Linfeng feared.
Thinking of this, Long Qingyun immediately led three thousand soldiers to rush down the east gate of Nanjing City, pretending to attack the city. The three of them lined up in a row, loaded their firearms, and started firing at the top of the city tower.
However, there was no movement from the soldiers on the Nanjing City Tower. After Long Qingyun walked around in front of the tower, he returned to the same place. He secretly wondered if the other party had noticed it, or if the machine gun was so powerful, why didn't he point it at it?
Shooting himself... Long Qingyun couldn't figure it out, so he immediately sent a soldier back to report the situation to Mu Linfeng, and asked Mu Linfeng to make a decision.
At this time, the two brothers Yang Liu and Yang Qi on the other side were inspecting the terrain outside the southern city of Nanjing. Not only did they consider the softness of the earth, but they also had to consider the degree of concealment so that the soldiers in Nanjing could not detect any movement. They found it behind a mound.
After finding the best location, they immediately began to mobilize soldiers here. At the same time, they sent five thousand soldiers to hoard in front of the mound to watch and listen.
Mu Linfeng was anxious and came here in person to watch the two brothers Yang Liu and Yang Qi start the construction. The two brothers Yang Liu and Yang Qi were indeed well-deserved, and they were indeed very knowledgeable about digging soil. In just half an hour,
By that time, a hole had been dug for the boss. Although Yang Liu and Yang Qi did not do it themselves, they ordered the soldiers to do so without hesitation. After the hole was dug to a certain depth, they began to expand the width, and the other soldiers who had dug out the hole started to dig it out.
Stacked next to the King of Earth...
At this time, the depth and width of the pit were enough. The two brothers, Yang Liuyang and Yang Qi, jumped into the pit together. Then they took out the short shovel they had prepared and began to look for the direction. They started digging towards the north. Yang Liuyang
Qi's movements were extremely fast, and the dust in the pit was flying. The soldiers behind him kept digging out the dust, but Yang Liu and Yang Qi didn't care about these trivial matters at all. They just moved forward to clear the way. The fifty soldiers selected from behind
He was responsible for widening and heightening the tunnel at the back, and took down the henchmen to transport the soil. After a while, Mu Linfeng could no longer see the two brothers Yang Liu and Yang Qi, but only saw people constantly transporting out of the dark tunnel.
The dust comes...
Mu Linfeng looked at the time on his watch. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and it would only be about twenty hours tomorrow morning. Can such a long road and such a big project be completed within twenty hours?
Well, Mu Linfeng was really unsure, but since it had been handed over to Yang Liu and Yang Qi, he could only trust these two people and had no other choice.
After watching for a while, Mu Linfeng took out his binoculars and climbed up the slope to look at the towers of Nanjing City. He vaguely saw two people standing on the towers of the Nanjing City Gate. Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, they could still tell him at a glance.
Being able to recognize that the two people were Wu Xing and Niu Dongmen, Mu Linfeng believed that Wu Xing and Niu Dongmen must also be observing the movements here at this moment. It seems that it will be a matter of time before they are discovered. The key is to compare speed.
At this moment, Mu Linfeng thought of Tokugawa Ie and Tagawa Miko. I wonder if everything went well after the two entered Nanjing City? He was just thinking about hearing a soldier come to report: "My lord, General Long asked me to come here to ask for your instructions."
, after our army made a move to attack the city, the enemy did not respond at all, and did not even fight back. General Long would like to ask your Majesty, what should we do?"
When Mu Linfeng heard this, his brows twitched, and he immediately turned to look at the city tower in Nanjing's south city. He thought to himself: "It seems that Wu Xing and Niu Dongmen have seen through that Long Qingyun's side is a feint attack?" At this moment, his heart moved, and he immediately mounted his horse.
Return to camp.
As soon as Mu Linfeng returned to the military camp, he happened to meet Shi Kefa who had mobilized the civilian men to return. Mu Linfeng immediately asked the soldiers to take the civilian rich to the construction site, and then pulled Shi Kefa into the military camp. As soon as he stood still, he immediately said to Shi Kefa: "Master Shi, you
Immediately dispatch 20,000 soldiers to rush to the east gate, bring artillery and steam cannons, and then follow my orders after setting them up!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Kefa immediately raised his hands and said, "Your Excellency, do you want to prepare to attack the city?" Seeing that Mu Linfeng did not speak, he immediately said in a serious voice, "I have your order!" After saying that, he immediately left the camp to dispatch troops and generals.
.
As soon as Shi Kefa left, Mu Linfeng immediately sent someone to call Hong Chengchou, and then said to Hong Chengchou: "Master Hong, please immediately put all air force soldiers on standby, make all preparations, and be ready to take off at any time!"
Hong Chengchou's expression changed when he heard this, but he did not ask any questions and immediately took the order and left. As soon as Hong Chengchou left, a scout came to report: "Sir, General Zhang Jian and Zhang's troops have arrived at Yaozhou Prefecture. I believe they will be able to reach Nanjing within ten days!"
Mu Linfeng nodded when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Weihai's navy should also have arrived in the Yangtze River Basin north of Nanjing!"
At this time, Niu Dongmen on the Nanjing City Tower was using a telescope to look at the position where Mu Linfeng's soldiers were stationed. Wu Xing wondered at the side: "What on earth is Mu Linfeng doing? Long Qingyun was just going through the motions with the opera singer at the east gate.
The same, the intention of pretending to attack the city is so obvious..."
Niu Dongmen shook his head when he heard this. He had doubts in his heart for a long time and never spoke. After looking around the terrain outside the city with a telescope, he said to Wu Xing: "Mr. Wu, there is something that Niu doesn't know."
Should I ask?"
Wu Xing looked at Niu Dongmen after hearing this, pondered for a while and then smiled and said: "Mr. Niu wants to ask why Wu rebelled against Mu Linfeng?" (
Unexpectedly, Niu Dongmen shook his head and said to Wu Xing: "No, what Niu wants to ask is that since Mr. Wu has rebelled against Mu Linfeng, does he only want to take the emperor with him in Nanjing? Is it in Mr. Wu's own heart?
You don’t have a long-term plan, do you just want to stay in Nanjing? Or do you just want to kill Mu Linfeng?"
Wu Xing looked at Niu Dongmen and did not answer Niu Dongmen's question directly. Instead, he smiled slightly and said to Niu Dongmen: "Just now, Mr. Niu seemed to have not answered Wu's question."
When Niu Dongmen heard this, he also looked at Wu Xing. After the two looked at each other for a long time, they both smiled and stopped talking. Both of them seemed to have understood the other's thoughts...
But at this moment, a soldier climbed onto the tower, quickly ran behind Wu Xing and Niu Dongmen and said, "Master Wu, Zhong Bin was drunk in the palace and made a fuss in the princess's palace. He was thought to have been captured. Princess, please sir."
Go back and decide!"
Wu Xing frowned when he heard this, waved his hand to signal the soldiers to get down, and then they all said: "This Zhong Bin is really getting more and more outrageous..."
Niu Dongmen said calmly: "It's no wonder Zhong Bin. Back then, the princess deceived Zhong Bin, saying she liked Zhong Bin, and persuaded Zhong Bin to rebel against Mu Linfeng. But now the princess is getting married to Mr. Wu, Zhong Bin.
How can Bin not be anxious?"
Wu Xing snorted when he heard the words and said calmly: "If he hadn't been interested in Zhu Yulao's identity, Wu wouldn't have even taken a look at that kind of unruly and willful little girl...Wu is not Mu Linfeng, and he has never been special about women.
hobby……"
Niu Dongmen asked Wu Xingdao at this time: "So how is Mr. Wu going to deal with the women Mu Linfeng has in the city?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xing glanced at Niu Dongmen and said nothing, but heard Niu Dongmen continue: "Mr. Wu, please don't forget that although we have surrounded the palace now, we have not yet entered. Mu Linfeng's Japanese ladies are all
They are all good players, and it seems impossible to capture them alive!"
When Wu Xing heard this, he waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as Mu Linfeng can be controlled by me, what's the use of having better martial arts? Can they fight their way out and escape from Nanjing? By then, they only need to deal with Mu Linfeng and the palace.
No matter how powerful those girls are, can they be more powerful than artillery?"
After hearing the words, Niu Dongmen lowered his head and pondered for a while, but finally said nothing, but turned his eyes to the distance. He saw dust flying in the open space in the distance, and a group of people were heading towards the east gate of Nanjing. Niu Dongmen
He immediately said: "It seems that Mu Linfeng wants to make a final counterattack within the deadline given to him by Mr. Wu!"
Wu Xing also saw the men and horses in the distance at this time, but his face remained calm and he said coldly: "All Mu Linfeng's weapons were made for him by Wu. Wu knew some of his weapons well, but Wu wanted to
To deal with him, you have to keep the weapons at the bottom of the box!"
Niu Dongmen smiled slightly when he heard this, turned to look at Wu Xing, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, are you talking about the machine gun you have been mentioning?" After watching Wu Xing nod with satisfaction, Niu Dongmen said
: "It seems that Niu can now experience the power of this machine gun!"
Wu Xing laughed loudly when he heard this and said to Niu Dongmen: "Don't worry, Mr. Niu. Once this weapon comes out, not only Nanjing, but also the whole world, it will only be a matter of time before we take it!"
Niu Dongmen frowned when he heard this, glanced at Wu Xing, then looked into the distance and stopped talking.
