Chapter 2962: The roar is shocking, Lin'an opens, nine legions, twelve gates

For a moment, those newspapers that spread rumors and cause trouble were immediately scolded to make people scream.

When the morning of this day came, the clever newspaper boys were only concerned about distributing the Lin'an Daily for free, and they did not even go to the bad newspapers to get the newspapers for sale, so as not to be affected by the anger of the people, even themselves.

After all, when they sell newspapers, they are scolded by people when they take out the newspaper, which is not a fun thing.

On the other hand, everyone is waiting for the real content of Lin'an Daily to be published.

They all wanted to learn more about the detailed process and results of the Tongzhou Army during this conquest.

At this time, the entire Lin'an City had gradually begun to jubilate.

The people hurriedly ate breakfast, then washed up, calling their friends to find the most favorable position to see Shen Mo's army enter the city.

On several main streets, the wide-view teahouse and wine shops were occupied by people as soon as they opened the door.

The shops along the street have unique advantages. They each clean the sanitation in front of their own doors and pack up the supplies in the store.

Preparing to deal with the upcoming crowd... These shop owners are very experienced. They knew from the last time Shen Mo led his troops into the city that people on the street and in the shops must be indispensable this time.

...And at the same time, the panic of the senior officials in the court reached its peak at this moment.

Some of them sent people to find out the news, while others began to hide and transfer the financial details in their homes.

Those large number of people with bad deeds, as well as the imperial officials who were blatantly facing Shen Mo's Tongzhou forces, were already frightened and panicked all day long.

Many of them simply planned to hide in remote residences with their families before Shen Mo entered the city, or simply escape from Lin'an City.

There are also many officials in the house where the housekeeper who had an affair with his concubine took someone to escape privately. The servants were stole valuable items and fled.

This is what it means to say that the tree falls and scatters are scattered.

Seeing that these officials were about to face a disaster, their subordinates were naturally panic.

Many people who depended on them also took the opportunity to escape from these broken ships that were about to sink.

At this time, Mr. Shan Qidong, who speculated on real estate, was naturally the most active person.

He and a group of subordinates began to bribe the palaces of the court officials who were panicked and unruly.

Of course, the transaction price has been minimized, but even so, there are still people who are busy selling these luxury houses immediately.

Even if it is a bargain, it is better than throwing it away in vain! Now these people cannot take away courtyards and pavilions, and may be cheaper to other people's things, and they are completely useless.

Among the court officials, Cui Yuzhi and Zheng Qingzhi are now like prisoners waiting for the verdict, waiting for news that Shen Mo's army entered the city.

At this time, their conspiracies and tricks were useless.

Everyone understands that as long as Shen Mo's army comes to ten thousand people, it is enough for them to not even be able to develop the will to resist.

What's more, these tiger-like troops still have 100,000 people?

At this time, many court officials had a glimmer of hope in their hearts. They felt that Shen Mo's behavior this time was very different from his previous restrained attitude.

So they secretly speculated in their hearts that Shen Mo was really defeated, so they got some local troops to support the scene?

So these court officials also wore literati costumes and dressed up like ordinary people, intending to go to the streets in person to see them.

The so-called army with a hundred battles and the newly established army is of course very big.

They hoped that the veterans who saw Shen Mo had died in the northern desert of the grassland, and how much strength of the Tongzhou team was still left is what they needed to measure and observe.

So with the attention of all parties, the early morning time passed minute by minute.

As the sun rises, the temperature in the city begins to warm up.

At this time, in Lin'an City, they suddenly heard a roar of roaring like a giant beast from all directions. This sound was obviously not done by human power, and it shocked the entire Lin'an in the moment it sounded! The sound was like a wild beast roaring towards the sky with a huge body, and it was not one or two, but a huge group of beasts! At this moment, the people, soldiers, merchants and courtiers in Lin'an City all looked in horror, but they could not see anything.

This loud bang that resounded through Lin'an represents a shocking change, slowly unfolding in front of them.

...This is the sound of a high-powered steam engine whistling on twenty-four steam boats.

Each sound is no different from the steam train when it sounds its whistle.

On the waterways around Lin'an City, when all the whistles were ringing together, the loud noise immediately rang throughout the city.

This is the power of the steam era, the roar brought by the unimaginable momentum of the ancients. It means that a new era is about to begin!... Shen Mo's army outside Lin'an City is gathering and deploying, and they had already arrived outside Lin'an City to camp outside Lin'an City last night.

Before the sun rose, the entire army was ready to enter the city.

Although Shen Mo's nine main forces were drawn from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and Xixia twice in succession, about 25,000 people were left on the border.

However, the number of troops exceeded 100,000 due to the addition of the new army and the Marine Corps in Xiangyang.

It is almost impossible for such a large-scale army to enter the city through a city gate, and it is impossible for them to complete it until dark.

Therefore, the Tongzhou army must advance inward from the twelve city gates around Lin'an City.

So these 100,000 troops took their seats in front of the city gates they were about to enter last night.

Starting from the north of Lin'an City, Houchaomen, Nantumen and North Tumen walk through the three armies of Chengdu, Bashan and Shushan.

The Shandong Army is traveling to Genshan Gate, Yuhang Gate and Qiantang Gate.

Shen Mo's main forces, Lin'an Army and Huaiyang Army, were Yongkin Gate and Qingbo Gate.

Not only that, Shen Mo's troops also have ships used to transport heavy firepower and Marine Corps.

They will enter Lin'an City from Tiansong Water Gate, Security Water Gate and Yongjin Gate Waterway.

Early in the morning, the soldiers in the army packed up their tents.

At the same time, the war horses and weapons were prepared to stop, and they began to inspect their armor and military appearance.

According to Shen Mo's usual requirements, the troops during the military parade do not require tidyness, but they must truly reflect the military appearance and temperament of the troops.

Therefore, the various combat troops still carried their wartime weapons, wearing field uniforms and armor.
