open sea

Chapter 521
Turning from defense to offense is not an easy task.

But switching from offense to defense is often more uncomfortable, because it means that the offense loses the initiative on the battlefield, especially in home games.

Deng Zilong listened to Chen Muqiang's suggestion, but there is no good solution for the time being, because just like what Deng Zilong said about the advantages of the Nanyang vassal army in training and commanding, pulling the tiger skin of the heavenly kingdom is extremely useful in this era , You don't have to do anything, just treat the soldiers equally and make the soldiers return to their hearts, and order and prohibit.

This kind of discipline is relatively lacking in the Guangdong and Guangxi Dusi. More importantly, Chen Mu does not have the power to directly transfer the Guangdong and Guangxi troops. set.

The other obedient army is Lin Feng, Lin Daoqian, Shi, and the few remaining East Asian pirates. Which one is the fuel-efficient lamp that can pull thousands of people overseas without relying on official positions? At first, there may be a basis for cooperation. Now Chen Lord's wings are hardened, he just wants to find a home for Daming's pirates and troublemakers, and he has no other thoughts.

In fact, the only army he can command is this vassal army. Is it possible and reluctant to let him hold a knife in his right hand and chop off his left hand?

This problem will haunt him for a long time and cannot sleep peacefully.

But compared to Deng Zilong's foresight and foresight, Shao Tingda's suggestion was much simpler and ruder.

"Brother Mu, you have to trust your brothers more. Lin Manjue fought against Guam, but you don't know about his situation. The Spaniards in Guam are mixed with the Americans you mentioned. The 2 soldiers are no worse than Mo Jingdian. As for [-] people, they are scattered and organized in different genus, and it is a coincidence that they can be defeated by small soldiers in one blow."

"Now every time there is a war, I can't wait to use General Lin as Qi Shuai's envoy. He only has 1000 people, and he will always be 5000 envoys." It was very funny, and said: "We really treat one thousand as three thousand, and we have to use 500 people to envoy—brother, there are some things we can only say, let's clean up Mang Yingli with ease, the whole army thinks this way !"

On the marching road, Chen Mu meandered on a tall horse, and the nearest soldiers were more than ten steps forward and backward. He looked at Shao Tingda and sighed.

He understands the truth, but the situation is different.

In the north, Liu Xian and Yu Dayou's soldiers were conscripted, and they were all trained by commanders and envoys from various places.

He is different. He is holding the flag army of the Nanyang vassal in his hand. Regardless of whether it is a vassal or a vassal, the flag army is trained bit by bit, and the ordnance is assembled bit by bit. Come out and tell him to let go and move the army—he had discovered this problem as early as when Nghe An was fighting Ruan Juan.

For many battles that can be leveled, he is more willing to grind steadily. The technical means have not yet reached the situation of queuing up and shooting. Under his military order, the guards can insist on queuing up and shooting out.

Not willing to pay a price.

Especially when Shao Tingda mentioned it today, it reminded him of the generation of tyrants who would occupy the chicken coop in the future.

Some people say that the headmaster has a general plan but no great talent, and he has a lot of perseverance.

The era when great men were born in large numbers was different from the present, and great men were often divided into strong and weak. He felt that he could not even compare with other people's shortcomings, and it was not a matter of pride to have a slight similarity in his personality flaws, let alone that Heroes of the era are not something that can be judged by a lucky person who was born to make troubles in the peacetime.

But he felt that Shao Tingda was right. It was true that he knew a little bit more about the universe, but his talent was indeed insufficient.

Although his brother has a violent temper, he always looks stupid and thick to show others, and sometimes he is rough and subtle when he has a bright mind. He stopped his horse and turned his head to ask: "Then what do you think, this battle, How to attack Baigu?"

Chen Mu was looking forward to it. He even felt that the so-called saying that you can become stronger when you are bald might be true. Maybe it is because the scalp can absorb oxygen.

"I think?"

When it really happened, the bald tiger rarely smiled embarrassedly. He rode on the black horse he got from Manila on a heavy horse boat and touched his bald head. If you are caught off guard, kill him without leaving a single piece of armor!"

Chen Mu's face was a little hot. A bald tiger is also a tiger. He shouldn't have any expectations for Shao Tingda other than being reckless. He slowly nodded and said, "I see, call Commander Zhang, and you will take over from him to play the vanguard first." .”

With that said, Chen Mu waved his hand and called the servant to write the transfer order.

In fact, he should talk to Deng Zilong about this matter, but Chen Mu's army is large and Bai Yuanjie's army is small. Their original plan was to use conventional siege methods to encircle the division, besiege the three sides of Baigu, and let the enemy escape to the north. It was Lin Manjue's mission.

Chen Mu attacked the south and Bai Yuanjie attacked the west, so manpower was still needed in the east. Chen Lin was still in Nanyang and Gao Gong teamed up to guard Nanyang. Naturally, only Deng Zilong could take on the task of leading an army alone.

Their marching routes are different, it is impossible to discuss matters with Deng Zilong now, they can only discuss with Zhang Shijue.

"Haha!"

The bald head was delighted when he heard Pioneer, put on his pockets and cupped his fists and sang loudly: "Decree!"

Because his headquarters was behind the Chinese army, he immediately sent messengers to gallop ahead on the side of the official army's marching road. When the next crossing that the drawing scouts had found out, he immediately ordered his subordinates to take the road, and he bowed his hands to Chen Muyao at the fork. Then he led the army to rush northward from another road.

Don't talk about thousands of armies, even if thousands of troops are marching, unless they are in an area ruled by one's own side, they must divide their troops and march together. After arriving at Baigu City, the rear army has only passed halfway through. No matter how many troops can't be put into a battlefield in a short time, it will be a waste of food and grass.

Shao Tingda's troops marched fast. That night, Zhang Shijue led a thousand people from his headquarters to wait for the Chinese army in front, leaving Huang Dexiang and Lou Qimai still in the front army, marching forward with the new pioneer officer Shao Tingda, while his headquarters Obey the transfer order and exchange with Shao Tingda, and he belongs to the same rear army as Fu Yuan.

"The last general doesn't think there's anything wrong with the commander's dispatch, this is definitely not a compliment." Zhang Shijue clasped his fists and said, "If the battle between Liu Shuai and Yu Shuai in the north is tense, we are ordered to attack the main force of the Mang army, and we should gallop ahead; But before the battle, the three commanders had already made plans, the second commander in the north was the main attack, and the commander-in-chief took up the base and restrained the back."

"Since it is containment, it is enough to stand in an invincible position. It is a further step for the commander to win steadily." Zhang Shijue said: "We can't win, but we can't be defeated, otherwise the elite guards of the army will be dispersed in the first battle." It is a small matter, but it is difficult to damage the country's prestige, and it is difficult to stop the Southeast Asian countries."

Everything was quiet, and the flag army set up luggage by the side of the road to send Guangdong Textile mosquito nets to sleep peacefully. Even though there were more than ten miles around, Chen Mu still sent out scouts and sentries to take turns to guard against unexpected events. The enemy stopped the messenger sent back overnight by the former army.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the former army encountered the enemy, Commander Shao has led the army to pursue it overnight!"
