Chapter Seventy-Four: Guts

Armansa, who returned to the earthen house, still had palpitations, looking at the three riders who had brought back him who were too kneeling to walk, suspecting that the moody Ming marshal had been taken by the devil.

In any case, he had saved his life, and the old governor, who had survived the catastrophe, had nothing to do in the middle of the day, opened a bottle of rum, leaned against the windowsill of wheat straw and mud, and drank it one by one, looking at the ebb of the sea.

Nothing is known about the future of this land.

The atmosphere in the harbor on the other side of the village was much heavier, and since Chen Mu let Almansa and the three messenger riders go, Juniper had not stopped cursing and muttering like an old woman.

One moment he took off his cuirass and knocked it with his fist, and then he said bare-chested that he was going to train his own soldiers to prepare for the next attack of the Western army.

The strange performance made Chen Mu feel that the leader of the pro-soldiers loved to act more than himself, and performed the manic patient to the fullest.

And this guy doesn't like to wear armor, I heard that before he was transferred to his subordinates, he didn't care if he was in a hurry or something else, he always liked to go into battle shirtless, and now he took off his armor, and his black tendons and flesh were scarred and arrows like rash beans.

When someone else goes to the armor, he sees where there are scars on his body, but when he goes to the armor, it is just the other way around, because he sees where there is good meat on his body.

Chen Mu felt that Juniper had this problem, probably because he was strong and wanted to show off, and he was okay and shirtless when he was the general flag, of course, he was not as bastard as Juniper, he was famous for sparing his life, not to mention that he knew more people later and found that there would always be someone stronger than himself, so he was embarrassed.

But maybe Juniper hasn't met a few stronger than him until now, so he has been showing off.

"Put on your clothes and armor well, and after a while, other generals and officers will come over, what should you think of your virtue?"

Chen Mu didn't pay attention to him, lowered his head and pondered about his own affairs, until he became more and more noisy, then he raised his head and reprimanded, and then looked down at the port defense map and pondered the trouble.

In fact, there are no generals in Acapulco, and the rest are more military officials such as Yang Tingxiang and Xu Zhenming, and the serious generals are Shao Tingda, Fu Yuan, Heiyunlong, and even Hei Xiao followed Deng Zilong.

The situation is also like Almanza's letter to Bernal, the Acapul subjects are indeed empty, the defense is very empty, the full army is less than 3,000, and the two main roads are nearly fifty miles apart from the north and south.

"Handsome, I'm in a hurry! Our intelligence is clear, once we send troops over......"

Chen Mu took the words and raised his eyes and asked, "Once the troops are sent over, they can't be defeated?" โ€

"Huh! The little stupid thief Bernal, Du Mou's hair is from Rong, and if I am alone, I can also rush into battle with a knife to take his dog's life, I can beat it! โ€

Look at what you can!

Chen Mu didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the generals, and said: "If it's hot and panicked, you can drink more tea, you can win without taking off your clothes, but it's useless to beat you without taking off your clothes, you can cut a few more knives when you wear armor." โ€

Juniper was fortunately manic, but even when he was the most manic, he could still listen to Chen Mu's orders, and let his family put on his armor, and then stepped forward and asked: "Why didn't the marshal kill him, and did such a thing that leaked the military plane, he should be executed." โ€

"Even if you don't kill them, you should send someone to recover those two stupid messengers who escaped."

Chen Mu looked at the defense map and swayed from side to side in his heart, ignoring Juniper's doubts, and raised his head with a long sigh: "At that moment, the two troops and horses should be withdrawn, leaving only scouts to spy and gather troops to deploy in the port." โ€

"But we have just completed fortifications in two key roads, and it is a pity to fill them in, should we take the risk of letting the two parts continue to hold on, or should we fill in the fortifications and shrink the defense?"

In fact, this question should not be a multiple-choice question in most cases, and there is only one reason why Chen Mu is puzzled at this time, at the root, he feels that the soldiers will be able to hold - even if the Western Army may attack with many times the number of troops.

"Don't defend it, the enemy knows the deployment of our army, and the army should be changed at this time." Juniper slapped his two black hands: "Take the initiative, don't ask for a port, two roads, let's only choose one, and attack its Mexico City!" โ€

"Either we meet on a narrow road, and our army has not tasted the strength of a fight; Either the Western Army will have the port, and our army will have Mexico City. โ€

Not to mention, Juniper is talking about playing the general tactics of changing houses, and if it can really be implemented, it will still be beneficial to the Ming army.

However, there are many flaws in the implementation.

For example, "What if the Western Army does not attack?" โ€

Juniper was stopped by Chen Mu's question, and listened to Chen Mu continue: "It's easy to kill people, but if you kill someone, it's really gone, and there is no chance to remedy it, and it is inevitable that you won't be able to use it if you keep it." โ€

"Besides, I thought it would not be a bad thing for our army to get those two letters into the hands of Bernal, who had not dared to attack before, and even more so now."

"Why is that?"

"Half a month ago, Shao Tingda asked Almansa to write a letter to Bernal's other army commander, which will be sent to Bernal, a counter-letter."

Chen Mu sat back and said, "The letter means that the commander named Jesรบs and several of his subordinates are going to kill Bernal, and the letter falls into Bernal's hands, do you think he believes it or not?" โ€

Juniper didn't know there was such a thing, and for a while, his muscular brain didn't react, and shook his head slightly.

After a while, Du Heizi reacted and said: "If he believes it at that time, he will have to deal with that legion first, and if he doesn't do it, it will cause civil strife, maybe now he only has three or four thousand troops left." โ€

"Then if he doesn't believe it, he won't believe Almanza's letter this time?"

Chen Mu chuckled, stroked the edge of the table with his idle hand, and said, "That's the truth." โ€

"The last letter may or may not be believed, even if they don't fight themselves, Bernal will not dare to let Jesรบs lead the army alone, nor dare to let the Jesรบs department stay in Mexico City, the situation can only be worse, the two armies are holding each other back because of suspicion."

If he doesn't believe it, will he dare to believe it? And why do you think this is not another lure to the enemy? โ€

Chen Mu said that the arrogance on his face came out again, the two hands clasped in front of him, and said to Juniper: "It is good for Bernal to see this letter, at least he knows that there are at least three thousand troops that can be mobilized by my Chen someone." โ€

"Tinda rode 2,000 feet, 400 miles in length and width since landing, a partial division broke through the Herrera army on the banks of the White Horse River, and the black cloud dragon rode down the silver city, so scared that Bernal didn't dare to find it from Mexico City until now."

"Believe it or not, Mexico City already knows that Chen has at least 3,000 men and horses camped here, does he dare to come?"

This is the confidence that Chen Mu has always felt relaxed about this, Asia Jingluo hugged his arms, pouted slightly and shook his head slowly, and said: "I borrowed their courage to quickly leave the Mexican fortified city to fight with me." โ€
