Chapter 21 Plans

The place where Shao Tingda was stationed was called Manghu Mountain, and the name was chosen by Mangworm himself, because this place had no name at all, it was a nameless mountain, and it was separated from the place that could be called a 'mountain' for seven miles from a dense jungle that was not accessible to people for seven miles.

The only special place is that there is a 'seat' on both sides of the damp dirt road that only allows two horses to be parallel, Shao Tingda said that these two stone piles are Manghu Cliff, garrisoned and boring, and he also set up a wooden sign, written in big characters for people to enter the roadside, which is named.

He also said that if the battle was fought and won, he would find someone to carve a stone tablet and take the stone to remember his merits.

As a result, not to mention that the wooden plaque was bombed into slag, even the two stone blocks he named were also blown to pieces.

"But don't mention it, the Luzon people were driven up by Xiyi, Xiyi fired cannons from behind, just his mother knocked back the bird on the left, and the one on the right came up again." Shao Tingda, who was in a hurry, was full of grievances, "It seems that a few of their cannons have been damaged, but it is useless, there are too many people." ”

Shi Qi was very surprised and said, "How many of your subordinates have died, is it so tragic?" ”

Shiqi was still far away from Manghu Mountain, and he met Shao Tingda who sent a horse scout to say that he was going to retreat. Shao Tingda turned his head and repeated Chen Mu's order to Shi Qi on this horse, and Shao Tingda retreated with a gloomy face.

"It's not that a few people died, seeing that we had a lot of artillery, Xiyi didn't come up at all, except for hiding behind and firing artillery, and even if the cannon was fired, it couldn't be accurate, so he pointed at the widows and rushed up with the Luzon. The place is narrow, they can't spread out, and when they are beaten, they will be chaotic, and if they are chaotic, they will retreat, and if they retreat, they will be able to kill two or three hundred people. ”

Shao Tingda didn't want to say more, he hurriedly retreated because the lead shot was about to be gone, and it was impossible for him to destroy so many enemy troops, he could repel again and again but the results were not great, once there was no lead shot shell, he couldn't run if he wanted to.

The artillery could only be transported away first, and then retreated, using the fortifications in front of the trenches to slow down the enemy's pursuit, and after retreating, it joined up with Shiqi.

"Either they don't come with artillery, or they can't catch up with them, and the trench artillery can't get through, so they have to fill in the way out." Even if he had retreated, Shao Tingda still had lingering palpitations and said, "Damn, I really didn't expect to survive." ”

The enemy's vulnerability was beyond Shao Tingda's imagination.

The two banner armies met on the way to retreat, Shi Qi did not talk to Shao Tingdaduo, waved his hand to let his subordinate banner army give way, and then arranged a cover retreat after Shao Tingda's troops passed.

Ishiki carried many firearms.

First, they planted treadmill and tripwire mines during the retreat. These two new things also have a little to do with Chen Mu, they were made by Qi Jiguang in Jizhen, and they were brought back to Nanyangwei by Chen Mu to be manufactured, and the equipment was not much in the expeditionary force.

This is not new, as landmines also appeared in Europe in the 15th century, mostly for fortified defenses, and not yet for large-scale field warfare.

In this era of slow news dissemination and closed flow of people, it takes a long time for any technology to be born and developed, especially if something dies before it has time to develop.

In addition to the mines, every one or two miles, there is a small flag army with wooden boxes and small flag arrows to conceal the attack, this thing is a nightmare for the large-scale charging enemy in the narrow strip, only two boxes of small flag arrows can scare hundreds of people from daring to move forward, plus the occasional appearance of mines, the pursuing troops are scared into frightened birds.

It was almost to death by the captain who was the commander of this Spanish squad.

Finally moved the artillery out of the trench dug by the Ming army, and the pursuit could not reach a few hundred meters, and suddenly the roar scared people enough, and quickly sent people to investigate the situation, and a hole was blown up on the ground, and the legs of the unlucky soldiers were blown off, and the two soldiers who were injured by the gravel fell on the side of the road and wailed.

A few hundred meters after chasing out, there were many people in the woods, followed by a strange sound and a scream, and rockets with sticks rushed over, exploding in the crowd with a bang, injuring more than a dozen people.

But this strange weapon of the Chinese is not so accurate every time, and the Spanish captain has seen it more than once, and the rocket is either nailed to a tree by the woods and exploded, or it is blocked by the branches and deflected into the sky, and it does not look so scary.

But these two things did deal a great blow to the morale of the army, even if the soldiers who died on it were less than fifty combined, no one dared to continue the pursuit.

The fierce Japanese were better, and if a reward or punishment was offered, they would gladly pursue them; But the Malays, unlike the Sulus, don't care about money at all, and there are even many people who don't think that gold and silver are useful things at all.

The pursuit was delayed, and the Japanese in front were ordered to investigate carefully, and the large force followed slowly and methodically behind, and the Spanish captain sent someone back to Manila to report that they had encountered a "biological man" on the way, and the surprise attack was delayed.

Suleiman of Bansylan City will definitely learn of their attack when he returns with this 'biological man' army, and he will prepare to forcibly attack the city, and ask the Manila commander to send a fleet to attack Bansylan City by sea at the same time.

The Ming people were called biological men by the Spaniards in Luzon, and it is also necessary to talk about the first contact between the Spanish Navy Captain Juan Salcedo, the grandson of the Philippine governor who recruited Li Dan as a helper, and the Ming Dynasty merchant ships.

They attacked the Ming merchant ships and won, and during the interrogation he asked the Ming people what they were doing when they came, and the Min people said that they were businessmen. Because of the pronunciation, Salcedo invented a Roman pinyin, Sangleys, to call the Ming Dynasty.

Because there were so many Ming people in Luzon, the term "biological man" later spread with the Spanish attack on Luzon.

"The casualties are not large, the combat strength is low, and we ambush them in the open area of the narrow dense forest."

Chen Mu had far more information than the Spaniards, and when he joined Shao Tingda's department, he was very satisfied with the results of the battle, and said: "Retreat back four miles, there will be an open land when you come, if the timing is right, you can encircle and annihilate them." ”

"Shiqi, don't retreat, take your people into two parts, scatter to the left and right forests, go as deep as possible, hide your whereabouts, don't come out when Xiyi passes through here, wait for us to start fighting in the north, you plant some mines from the back road, make a big noise in the forest, and defeat them."

Chen Mu didn't want to let these people go back to Manila, even if most of the news of the Ming army's landing on the island for such a long time had been known to the Manila garrison, he still wanted to directly capture or even annihilate this army, so as to make a good start for the next Manila seizure.

The Shiqi tribe dispersed into the forest after being ordered by Chen Mujun to help him hide his tracks, and then retreated, but in order to prevent the Spaniards from searching the dense forests on the left and right, he left a few small flags to ambush the monkeys along the way.

When they are beaten, they will only pay attention to the front, not to the left and right.

"This thing is never fucking useless!"

Chen Mu looked at the waning mountains but couldn't light a beacon fire to Deng Zilong's department in the sea, and made another plan in a hurry, "Hundreds of sappers will go to arrange the fortifications of the defense line, let's send them home first!" ”
