Chapter 870 [Qingping China, sweeping away the remnants] eight
In front of the east gate of Nanjing City, Shi Kefa was ordering the artillerymen to prepare, adjust the range, and control the gun range near the south wall of Nanjing City, mainly to cover Long Qingyun's next move. Although Shi Kefa did not agree with Long Qingyun's taking risks,
But Long Qingyun insisted on this, and Long Qingyun had already asked Mu Linfeng for instructions, and Mu Linfeng also agreed, so Shi Kefa couldn't stop it.
Shi Kefa and Long Qingyun also saw the scene over Nanjing Nancheng. They were also extremely shocked, but it did not affect Long Qingyun's determination. He still decided to go to the East Gate to test the power of a few guns.
After all preparations were made, Long Qingyun mobilized five thousand musketeers and fully equipped them. Shi Kefa gave an order, and the artillerymen immediately began to bombard the east gate of Nanjing City. Long Qingyun immediately shouted and led the way.
Five thousand soldiers rushed out.
Long Qingyun led five thousand soldiers and rushed all the way without any hindrance. Long Qingyun was hesitating whether the enemy soldiers on the east gate were still the same as in the afternoon and did not fight back. Just when he thought of this, he heard the sound coming from the east gate tower.
There was a gunshot, and this gunshot was different from the previous ones. It was consistent and uninterrupted.
Long Qingyun was startled. Before he could react, he saw that a dozen soldiers in front of him had fallen down. Long Qingyun's expression changed and he looked up at the east gate tower, where he saw fire splashing everywhere.
, every place was like a launching point, and in the blink of an eye, most of the 5,000 soldiers he brought out were dead or injured.
Long Qingyun didn't even realize what was going on. The remaining soldiers had already begun to retreat. Like Long Qingyun, they didn't understand what was going on and saw their possessions fall one after another.
Under such circumstances, the only option is to retreat.
Long Qingyun originally wanted the soldiers to continue charging, but he also knew that no matter how he ordered it now, those soldiers would not charge forward to die. Long Qingyun only felt cold sweat on his forehead like rain. At this moment,
Long Qingyun felt pain in his arms and shoulders at the same time, and immediately fell to the ground. Upon seeing this, the fleeing soldiers passing by him immediately carried Long Qingyun back.
In the imperial garden of the Nanjing Palace, Zhu Yuluo and Zhu Cilang were standing here. After Zhu Cilang stared at the sky in a daze for a long time, he turned to Zhu Yuluo and said, "Sister Huang, what was that just now?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yulao shook her head and sighed: "I don't know, could it be that Mu Linfeng has already started to attack Nanjing City?"
Zhu Cilang immediately said: "Aren't Mu Linfeng's wives all held hostage by Wu Xing? Why does Mu Linfeng still dare to attack the city? Doesn't that guy even care about his own woman's life?"
There was no expression on Zhu Yurao's face. She looked up at the bright moon in the sky, but she heard Zhu Cilang say to Zhu Yurao at this time: "By the way, Sister Huang, is Niu Dongmen originally a member of the prince? Why haven't I heard of this person before?
What?"
Zhu Yuelao shook her head, turned to look at Zhu Cilang, then reached out to hold Zhu Cilang's hand and said: "Xiao Lang, the most trustworthy person in this world is only you. No one will be completely loyal to you, even if you are...
Your most trusted ministers are only out for their own interests. Once you fail to give them what they need, they will betray you. The emperor is alone and cannot trust or rely on anyone absolutely!"
Zhu Cilang looked at Zhu Yurao for a long time, unable to say a word, and finally breathed out a breath and said: "If Sister Huang were born as a man, and Sister Huang was the one to take charge of this business, you would probably be a thousand times more powerful than Xiao Lang, right?
"
Zhu Yulao glanced at Zhu Cilang, lowered her head, and sighed secretly: "Yes, why am I not a man? I really wish I was a man!"
On top of the Meridian Gate Tower of the Nanjing Imperial Palace, Wu Xing's mouth was filled with a smile. Niu Dongmen looked at the sky above Nancheng indifferently. Although there was no expression on his face, you could see the sweat oozing out of his forehead. In the scene just now, Niu Dongmen
The door has not been forgotten to this day. Mu Linfeng's air force was instantly defeated by the soldiers sent by Wu Xing...
The flames in the sky were like brilliant fireworks at that moment, so dazzling. However, Niu Dongmen also knew how many people had lost their lives behind this brilliance. But what surprised Niu Dongmen the most was
It wasn't the tragic situation where Mu Linfeng's air force was nearly wiped out, but Wu Xing's hidden methods...
Niu Dongmen had heard about Mu Linfeng's air force. Even if he had never heard of it, when countless airships were floating over Nanjing City in the afternoon, Niu Dongmen was actually secretly thinking about how to deal with the airships. He really did not expect that Wu Xing would
With such a move, Niu Dongmen also knew that these airships were probably made by Wu Xing. Wu Xing had already been preparing for today. This man was so scheming, which made Niu Dongmen feel vaguely uneasy.
The smile on Wu Xing's lips slowly disappeared, and he turned to look at Niu Dongmen and said, "Mr. Niu, what about the scene just now? Not to mention the air force, even if he is really a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, Wu has a way to deal with him!
"
Niu Dongmen forced a laugh, but didn't know how to "praise" Wu Xing's performance. After a long time, he said to Wu Xing: "Mr. Wu, I'm afraid Mu Linfeng won't just let it go, and he knows what will happen tomorrow."
If you still make plans tonight, aren't you afraid that he will be prepared?"
Wu Xing laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "Mr. Niu, don't worry, what Mu Linfeng did was not really attacking the city, he was testing Wu's strength. He should know clearly that all the weapons he used in his hands, Wu
They all have them, so he just wants to know if Wu has any weapons that he doesn’t have!"
When Wu Xing said this, he looked at Niu Dongmen and said, "Including the charge at the east gate... they were all Mu Linfeng's tests... Since he wanted to know so much, Wu had no choice but to let him see it..."
Niu Dongmen nodded when he heard this, and then said: "But according to Niu, I am afraid that Mu Linfeng will not be able to kneel at the south gate as Mr. Wu wishes tomorrow morning!"
Wu Xing sneered when he heard this and said: "Mu Linfeng has no choice anymore. He will kneel down if he doesn't want to... This is his only choice..."
Niu Dongmen turned to look at Wu Xing and asked, "If Mu Linfeng really knelt down, would Mr. Wu let his wives go as promised?" After Niu Dongmen asked this question, he immediately regretted it...
Wu Xing looked at Niu Dongmen, smiled slightly, and said to Niu Dongmen: "Mr. Niu seems to want to know a lot of things. If it is Mr. Niu, will you let it go?"
When Niu Dongmen heard this, he turned his head and no longer looked at Wu Xing, but at the bright moon in the sky. He sighed and said, "Niu will not let go!"
Wu Xing said to Niu Dongmen at this time: "Mr. Niu, it's getting late. You'd better go to rest early. Don't be late for tomorrow's show!"
When Niu Dongmen heard this, he immediately turned around and bowed his hands to Wu Xing, said goodbye lightly, and walked away. As soon as Niu Dongmen left, Wu Xing immediately waved, and a man in black appeared behind him. Wu Xing whispered
He said: "Go and look at this old guy. If you encounter anything, report it to me!" Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately followed Niu Dongmen...
At this time, in the backyard of Wang Zhizhen's mansion, a dark figure came over from the wall. Wang Zhizhen saw it, but he still sat there calmly. It was not until the dark figure walked in front of Wang Zhizhen that Wang Zhizhen said: "General Chen.
Thanks for your hard work!"
The black figure was Chen Dahan. He sat next to Wang Zhizhen and said, "Master Wang, the letter from Chen has been delivered to Mr. Fang!"
Wang Zhizhen nodded when he heard this, and then said: "That's good, that's good... In this way, the lives of Nanjing officials can be saved..."
Chen Dahan looked at Wang Zhizhen and asked: "Master Wang, there is something that Chen has been unclear about. Please ask Master Wang for advice!"
After Wang Zhizhen glanced at Chen Dahan, he immediately picked up the teapot and filled Chen Dahan with a cup of tea. Then he said: "Wang knows the doubts in General Chen's mind, but now is not the time to clear up the doubts in General Chen's mind!"
When Chen Dahan heard what Wang Zhizhen said, his heart moved and he immediately wondered: "Master Wang, does he know what Chen wants to ask you?"
Wang Zhizhen picked up the tea cup in front of him, drank it, and then said: "General Chen wants to know why Wang asked you to pretend to be dead so that Wu Xing and Niu Dongmen could succeed, right?"
Chen Dahan just picked up the teacup. When Wang Zhizhen said this, his hand trembled. The teacup fell to the ground and shattered. The tea splashed on Chen Dahan's leg. Chen Dahan looked at Wang Zhizhen in surprise. After a long time, he smiled slightly and said
: "Sir, your lord is indeed very clever and has the ability to predict the future!"
Wang Zhizhen laughed loudly when he heard this, then shook his head and said to Chen Dahan: "It's a clever plan. It's not Wang who predicts the future..."
When Chen Dahan heard this, his heart moved. He immediately stood up, looked at Wang Zhizhen and said, "Could it be Niu Dongmen? Is he pretending to surrender to Wu Xing?"
Wang Zhizhen remained calm and did not give Chen Dahan any answer. He just kept sipping the tea in his hand and did not drink it. His eyes looked towards the dark sky. The bright moon, which had always been bright, was now covered by dark clouds.
Most of...
Chen Dahan looked at Wang Zhizhen with even more doubts in his heart, but if Wang Zhizhen didn't say anything, he couldn't know. Then he slowly sat down, picked up another tea cup, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a few sips.
