Jiangning City.

Duan Wang and Liu Jiangbai frowned and looked at the Jin soldiers who were camped under the city.

The news that Lin Mu's Ning army had killed thousands of Jin cavalry at Yanziji and calmly retreated to Wubao had reached here, which boosted the confidence of the defenders of Jiangning City.

"In the first battle of Yanziji, the Jin State lost thousands of elite cavalry, and the infantry also suffered thousands of casualties, while Lin Mu's Ning army was almost unscathed, this battle is enough to prove that the Ning army is an elite division."

Liu Jiangbai looked in the direction of Wubao, which was now also surrounded by the Golden Corps.

King Duan nodded, Lin Mu had told them his battle plan before the battle, and now they needed to hold on to the city and consume the Jin Dynasty's troops, and the longer this time, the better.

Once the Jin soldiers are sleepy and tired, and the new recruits of the Ning army are trained, it will be time to completely encircle and annihilate this southbound Jin soldiers.

"Maybe Jiang Ning can hold it this time." King Duan suddenly had great confidence in Lin Mu, which made him start to examine Lin Mu's value again......

Zhongshanwu Fort.

Lin Mu was patrolling the city wall, and he believed that the first battle of Yanziji had hit the morale of the Jin soldiers, and if the Jin soldiers were frustrated one after another in the next battle, their morale would be easier to be defeated if they declined to the extreme.

"Look, Lord Training!"

Lu Zhen handed the telescope to Lin Mu and pointed in one direction.

Lin Mu looked at it, in the camp five hundred meters away from Wubao, Jin Bing was pushing one artillery cannon after another to the front.

The body and body of these guns are very large, and at first glance they are the technical level of the Chinese Dynasty, because they are afraid of exploding, so the cannon body will be cast so heavy.

"There's going to be a tough battle next." Lin Mu returned the telescope to Lu Zhen, and although the Jin soldiers were besieging Jiangning, they concentrated a large number of artillery near Wubao, which had the intention of conquering Wubao first, and then attacking Jiangning City.

After all, once they attack the city with all their might, the Dock Fort can stab them in the back at any time.

"We are not afraid of them in the field, will we be afraid of defending the city? Lao Tzu must let these golden dogs be exterminated. Lu Zhen gritted his teeth and said.

Lin Rui laughed a few times, he patted the twelve-pounder cannon on his side, and stomped on the city wall again, "My lord, our field artillery is not comparable to the Jin Kingdom, and this city wall is no worse than Jiangning City, and besides, there is Zhongshan as a barrier behind it, and it is more difficult for the Jin soldiers to conquer the Dock Fort than to ascend to the sky." “

Lin Mu's demeanor was relaxed, in ancient wars, the defending side often had the advantage, and the quality of the soldiers was the same, and it often took several times the strength to break the city.

It is not so easy for Jin Bing to conquer the Dock Fort, not to mention that his Dock Fort is armed to the teeth, and the seventy-two artillery pieces facing the enemy formation will teach the Jin Soldier how to behave.

"Always pay attention to the movements of the Jinren." Lin Mu gave a word to the two of them, turned around and went down the city wall, he still had a lot to do.

In order to avoid the Jin people, now the workers and their relatives under the command of the Lin Merchant House have moved into Wubao, plus other regiments to train and recruit new soldiers, and now Wubao is very prosperous, and busy workers and soldiers can be seen at any time.

"Second uncle, has all the food been distributed?"

Coming to the granary, Lin Mu asked.

Together with the war, Lin Qing and Lin Yang also took on the chores of wartime, in addition to armament, the most important thing at present is food, without food, there will be chaos.

"It's divided, and I've registered here." Lin Qing gestured to the account book.

Lin Mu nodded, now the food in Wubao is in charge of Lin Qing, whether it is the army or the factory, if you need food, you have to come here to receive it.

Before Jin Bing arrived, there was enough food to eat for half a year, and as long as it was properly distributed, there would be no problems.

After briefly inspecting the granary, Lin Mu went to the military factory and barracks, and now the military factory is producing guns and ammunition day and night under the supervision of Lin Feng and Lin Yang.

After the first batch of ammunition was delivered to the Ningjun, the military factories became more familiar with the production of weapons and ammunition, and their efficiency was also improved a lot.

And in the barracks, eight thousand recruits are being trained under the leadership of instructors.

In the past three months, under the influence of the military academy, the Ning army has cultivated a group of middle-level generals, and these middle-level generals can support the expanded Ning army at any time.

After a circle along the dock fort, Lin Mu was satisfied with everything that was running normally, and this time he returned to the courtyard in the dock fort.

"Daddy!"

As soon as Lin Mu came back, the slave who was playing with Liu Ruyan ran over with a smile.

"Lin Gongzi." Liu Ruyan stood up, with worry on her face.

Picking up the slave, Lin Mu generously sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard, this courtyard is a tiled house in the southeast, north, south, west, and north, with a simple structure, just for temporary residence, Liu Ruyan and Liu Rumian also moved over this time.

He promised Liu Jiangbai to take care of the two, so naturally he had to do it in place.

"Liu Xiaoniang is still worried about Lord Fu Yin?" Lin Mu asked, Liu Ruyan has been like this in the past few days, depressed.

The slave said with a pouting at this time: "Sister Liu said that she has no mother since she was a child, just like the slave, she has only a father, and she can't have a father like the slave." “

The slave's innocent words came out, Liu Ruyan's eyes suddenly burst into tears, for a woman like her, the troubled times are not just a sentence, Xiao Ke's experience is a living example.

These days, she and Xiao Ke are also familiar with each other, and knowing Xiao Ke's past, she is more and more worried and afraid.

"Liufu Yin Fu has a big life, and there will definitely be no accident." Lin Mu persuaded, in fact, he was not completely sure now, for him, for Duan Wang, and for Liu Jiangbai, they were all taking risks.

Wiping her tears, Liu Ruyan suddenly took out a dagger from her cuff, "Lin Gongzi doesn't have to comfort me, my father is a righteous person, I would rather die than abandon the city, and even if I go with my father, I will not stay and be humiliated by the Jin people." ”

Liu Ruyan's hand holding the dagger was a little white, Lin Mu held the small hand of the slave, when the Jin soldiers broke through Beiping, the harem concubines and palace maids were humiliated by the Jin people, and this national shame is still engraved in the hearts of the people of the Chinese Dynasty.

"The golden soldiers will not succeed." Lin Mu's tone was firm, this is a barbaric era, soldiers in war are comparable to beasts, they can do anything, especially the uncivilized border Yi like the Jin people, let this barbarian race control the land of the Hua Dynasty, the future of the Hua Dynasty will only be more sad.

Liu Ruyan looked at Lin Mu in surprise, since the beginning of the war, Lin Mu and the soldiers under his command had maintained high morale and self-confidence.

This kind of self-confidence has always puzzled her, she doesn't understand what makes Lin Mu and the soldiers of the Ning Army so confident, and what gives them the courage to fight.

"Slave, there is a war going on outside, and I have wronged you during this time, and my father has to drive away all the bad guys to play with you." Lin Mu said.

He now basically comes back at night when the slave sleeps, and the slave leaves before he wakes up.

The slave nodded sensibly, "Sister Xiao Ke said that Daddy wants to do great things, and Slave Slave wants to support Daddy." “

Touching the slave's little head, Lin Mu felt a pang of pity in his heart, compared to modern children of the same age, the tribulations of life made this girl a lot more sensible.

Looking at the slaves, he secretly swore that he must let the slaves live happily in a peaceful and prosperous world.
