Chapter 869 [Qingping China, sweeping away the remnants] seven
In the darkness, two black figures quickly hid in the deepest part of the alley, and one of them immediately said to the other: "General Chen, Fang heard that you have... received news from you today, I was really surprised!
"
The other person smiled slightly, showing his white teeth under the moonlight, and then said to the person in front of him: "Mr. Fang, this matter is a long story that is difficult to explain in one sentence. This time Dahan asked you to come here for something important.
!”
The two people at the end of the alley were Chen Dahan and Fang Ziaoao. Fang Ziaoao asked Chen Dahan at this time: "What is General Chen's important matter? You might as well tell him!"
Chen Dahan proudly said to the other party: "Mr. Fang, it is an ironclad fact that Wu Xing has rebelled against your lord. Now the officials dressed up in Nanjing are afraid of Wu Xing's power, so they have no choice but to surrender to Wu Xing. But in the bottom of their hearts, these officials
I hope you can regain Nanjing as soon as possible..."
When Chen Dahan said this, he took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Fang Pride, and then said: "Mr. Fang, this is a petition signed by hundreds of Nanjing officials. It explains that they are also forced by the situation.
Due to helplessness, as long as you can successfully regain Nanjing, they will still be your ministers!"
Fang proudly finished the letter, and then looked at Chen Dahan and said: "I believe the master also understands this matter. After all, the incident happened suddenly, but why is their joint letter in the hands of General Chen?"
Chen Dahan smiled slightly when he heard this, and then said: "Mr. Fang, there is no need to worry about this. Anyway, everything will naturally come to light after your Excellency regains Nanjing..."
In the backyard garden of Wang Zhizhen's residence in Nanjing City, Wang Zhizhen was holding a teacup and looking at an old man in front of him. The old man frowned, holding the teacup in his right hand, and said to Wang Zhizhen with a desolate expression: "Master Wang, Master Mu has already arrived at the city.
The recovery of Nanjing is imminent, and the victory or defeat of this battle is uncertain. Qian came here to seek advice from Mr. Wang..."
Wang Zhizhen smiled, put down his tea cup, and then said to Qian Qianyi: "Master Qian is too modest, and saying "asking for advice" is too flattering to Wang... Now that the overall situation in Nanjing is like this, people are panicking, Master Wu is now
I only trust one person, Niu Dongmen. Not only Lord Qian, but also everyone in the civil and military dynasties is ignored. What is the future for everyone?"
Qian Qianyi nodded slightly, and after a long sigh, he said: "What Mr. Wang said is absolutely true, but most people are helpless. Now the two of Mu and Wu are confronting each other inside and outside Nanjing, and the winner and the loser are still undecided.
Count..." Qian Qianyi said this, looked at Wang Zhizhen, and whispered: "Master Wang, Qian heard that Master Wang was secretly contacting Nanjing officials... and wrote a letter to Master Mu..."
Wang Zhizhen's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he waved his hand and said: "There are rumors in the market, Mr. Qian, please don't believe it!"
Qian Qianyi smiled slightly, continued to look at Wang Zhizhen, and then said: "Qian knows how to distinguish whether it is a rumor, but if Mr. Wang is really doing this joint name, why didn't he call Qian... Could it be that Mr. Wang wants to isolate Qian?
Is it possible?"
After hearing this, Wang Zhizhen looked at Qian Qianyi, stood up, and then said to Qian Qianyi: "Master Qian is worrying too much. If so, how could Wang not contact Master Qian? What's more, Wang sincerely serves Wu
Your Excellency...how can you do any joint signing?"
Qian Qianyi also stood up, walked to Wang Zhizhen's side, and said to Wang Zhizhen: "Master Wang, you have a prejudice against Qian, and it's not that young. You and I were old friends who talked about everything back then. Now,
Mr. Wang, however, hides everything, which is too disrespectful of Qian as a friend!"
When Wang Zhizhen heard this, he immediately turned around and looked at Qian Qianyi, cupping his hands and saying, "Master Qian is really worried. If Wang is really like this, how could he not contact you, Master Qian!"
After Qian Qianyi looked at Wang Zhizhen for a long time, he let out a long sigh, and quickly said with his hands in hand: "Then I won't disturb you, Qian. Farewell!" and walked away.
Wang Zhizhen immediately shouted: "Lord Qian, go slowly!" When Qian Qianyi walked out of the backyard, his face immediately turned cold, and he said coldly: "You said I don't treat you as a friend? When did you treat me as a friend?
Already?"
Over the south gate of Nanjing City, countless airships are hovering in the sky, but there is no further movement. The number of soldiers on the upper floors of Nanjing South City has more than doubled. In fact, more than half of the soldiers are holding something similar to Zhuge Crossbow in their hands. These soldiers
They stood in several rows and pointed the objects in their hands at the airship in the sky. Then they listened to the general's order and heard the sound of "whoosh, whoosh..." and things with ropes flying out from those weapons.
, all the way to the bottom basket of the airship.
When the soldiers on the airship saw this, they didn't fully react. Then someone said: "The enemy has hooked our airship with a rope..." As soon as these words came out, one boat passed from one boat to the next, and soon all the airships were
After receiving the news, they all started to try to fly away, but they didn't know that everything below was already tightly hooked by the rope, making it impossible to fly away.
When the air force soldiers were panicking, they saw the soldiers on the tower below began to raise their torches, illuminating the entire tower. Then all the soldiers pointed their torches at the ropes. In an instant, flames followed the ropes like fire dragons.
Rushing up, the bamboo baskets of many low-flying airships were already on fire in an instant. In the panic, the ropes of other airships that wanted to escape were twisted together one after another, and the ropes of other airships that happened to escape were
The airship and the large force that immediately left turned around and looked again, and saw that the sky above Nanjing was like a sea of fire. Not only were people falling from the sky, but some people were also on fire at the roots of the trees.
He jumped directly from the airship, and the air was filled with thick smoke and screams.
All the airships that had not escaped were already on fire, including their bags. Looking from the ground in the distance, it felt like the sky was on fire. The entire space was suddenly illuminated brightly. The airship airmen who escaped were furious.
Panting, a feeling of post-catastrophe, cold sweat on the forehead. Everyone's face turned pale.
When Mu Linfeng heard the soldiers' report in the military camp, he immediately rushed out of the tent with Yang Geng and Chen Hui, and looked over the south wall of Nanjing. Everyone was stunned. More than a thousand airships were reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye, but Mu Linfeng
The thing that hurts the most is not the airship, but the air force soldiers on the airship. The airship can be rebuilt, but the lives of the air force soldiers can no longer be saved. You have to know how much time and experience it took for such a group of air forces in the training department...
All the soldiers in the military camp looked at the sky above Nanjing City, until the last bit of firelight in the sky fell to the bottom of Nanjing City. The faces of all the soldiers in the military camp looked extremely heavy. You must know that Mu Linfeng's air force is a symbol of invincibility.
They were invincible on the Ryukyu Island. They recovered the entire Ryukyu Islands and bombed the Philippines and Java with zero casualties. But this time, the casualties were so heavy.
Yang Geng and Chen Hui looked at the darkened sky with various emotions in their hearts. They had not yet figured out how the airship caught fire in the sky, but when they thought about it, they would have thought of this during the Battle of Ryukyu.
In terms of methods, maybe this situation is no longer the case now.
Tagawa Meiko and Tokugawa Ie stood beside Mu Linfeng. They didn't care about the life and death of the air force soldiers. Relatively speaking, what they cared about most was their husbands. At this time, Mu Linfeng's face was ashen and his eyes were filled with anger.
But he was helpless, his fists were clenched tightly, and his joints were cracking.
At this time, Yang Geng turned to look at Mu Linfeng and said in a deep voice: "Sir, it seems that Wu Xing has made preparations for a long time. When he built these airships, he probably already had a backup plan!"
Mu Linfeng didn't listen to what Yang Geng said at all. He was thinking at the moment, was this Wu Xing's warning to him? He could subdue the airship, but what about the steam cannon, artillery, and steam engine? Did he have any backup plans to deal with them?
At this time, a fast horse appeared outside the military camp. The soldiers on the horse immediately jumped off the horse when they arrived in front of the military camp, ran all the way to Mu Linfeng, then knelt down on the ground, held up a letter, and said to Mu Linfeng: "Sir,
General Zhang Jian sent a secret letter!"
Mu Linfeng took the secret letter and walked into the camp. Then he took a look at the lights and his frown gradually began to open up. Then a smile even appeared on the corner of his mouth. After reading the secret letter, he immediately handed over the secret letter.
Burn the letter on the oil lamp
When Yang Geng and Chen Hui saw this, they looked at each other. Naturally, they didn't know the content of the secret letter sent by Zhang Jian, but from Mu Linfeng's expression, they could naturally tell that he was being cautious, and they couldn't help but feel a little curious.
However, Mu Linfeng did not speak to Yang Geng and Chen Hui. He just said: "Mr. Yang, General Chen, you should have a good rest tonight. We will not launch a counterattack until early tomorrow morning. At that time, Mu will still have to rely on Mr. Yang and General Chen."
!”
Chen Hui wanted to say something, but Yang Hui signaled him not to speak. The two of them hurriedly said goodbye to Mu Linfeng and left. Tagawa Meiko and Tokugawa Ie walked into the camp, and after looking at the smile on Mu Linfeng's face, they said:
"Husband, is General Zhang arriving soon?"
After hearing this, Mu Linfeng looked at Tokugawa Ie and Tagawa Miko, smiled and said nothing, and after a long time, he said to Tagawa Miko and Tokugawa Ie: "Miko, Ie, you are tired too, go and rest quickly!
My husband has something important to do for a while!"
