It is extremely common for plans to fail to keep up with changes, and the strategy of military warfare is to speculate on the most likely changes in limited information in order to prepare in advance, like counting a few more moves in a game of chess.

The art of war is the art of the mind, and from this point of view, the book of war may also be the earliest psychology book.

Because if you miscalculate one step, what follows will be useless, and what you calculate correctly may not necessarily win the war, but you will always miscalculate, and you will never be able to save your life in the war.

For example, Chen Mu didn't expect that the Spaniards would not leave before they were about to enter the battlefield of his ambush.

"It's good to take two more steps and two steps less, Lao Tzu's trenches have been dug up, what's the matter with these bastards stopping here!"

It was probably Ishiki's rocket that shot the Spanish captain in a hurry, or it may have been pinching the distance of Banshilan City and the speed of the sea route, so that the Spanish captain who had been in war for a long time was no longer in a hurry to pursue.

It is more likely that he finally realized that he would never be able to catch up with this army of biological men if he continued to chase him like this, and seeing that it was getting late, the more than 2,000 troops he led by Luzon, Sulu, Wa, and Malay simply stopped on the side of the road and put a long queue, took out the food he carried with him, and ate it.

The Spaniards even set up a small tent in the middle of the queue, and it looked like they were going to rest here at night.

The road is winding and blocked by dense forests, even if it is only a few miles away, Chen Mu tried his best to climb the tree, but he could only look through the telescope at the cooking smoke in the shadow of the trees in the distance, and he couldn't see the arrangement of the Spaniards.

"The scouts who came back said that they didn't seem to have any arrangement, and that they were all resting by the trees by the roadside, and the widows in front of them were singing and dancing happily." Shao Tingda also looked helpless, and said: "They also released scouts, stepped on two mines in the forest, and walked three miles before going back." ”

Chen Mu patted the soil on his body, looked at the flag army hidden in the trenches and bushes, and opened his hand helplessly, and said: "There is no way now, the artillery is useless, can the night attack win?" ”

The small narrow road in the remote area of Luzon is not far from the dense forest, and this section of the road is winding and winding, and the artillery can't shoot out if it's far away, and the artillery will block the follow-up troops when it's close. What's the biggest problem?

Chen Mu can't wait until tomorrow.

It's not that Deng Zilong is waiting at sea, if Deng Zilong alone, the biggest problem is to send someone back to Banshilan City, and tell Deng Zilong, who is returning to Hong Kong, to go south tomorrow.

The key is the 500 people in Shiqi!

They almost wiped this side to rest, nothing more than the Spanish coalition army camped on the road for more than a mile, and the people of Shiqi drilled into the forest on their left and right for a mile or two. But if there is a disturbance, the Spaniards will find Shiqi first, and Shiqi will definitely not be able to stop it, and there is no way to return it.

The only way to turn the tide is to strike first.

"Ishiki is very clever, and now he should let his men go a little further south and go around behind the enemy, that would be better; Even if you don't, the results of the night raid on the left and right will not be bad, and a dozen enemy troops will definitely be chaotic, and you have fought against them - can you win? ”

This question is a bit difficult for Shao Tingda.

He squatted on the ground, let the sick child pick up a stick, write and draw on the ground, and raised his head after pondering for a long time and said, "I think I can win." ”

Chen Mu clapped his hands and gritted his teeth, opened his hand to summon his subordinates to complete the army, and the eight hundred banner army gathered, "Then do it!" ”

The sick child is an orphan and is about the same age as Hachiro. After his mother died of illness, his father fell into the grass and voted for Li Yayuan, and the sick seedlings were sent to the Yingde Nursing Home.

Shao Tingda obeyed the order on the battlefield to execute his father as a prisoner, and on the way back from victory, he went to Yingde to receive a sick seedling to raise by his side, this kid is stronger than Xiaoba, and his name is that his mother died of illness.

The flag army that withdrew from Manghu Mountain redistributed the ammunition, leaving a small flag to guard the artillery, and about 200 people from the forest touched the side of the Xiyi garrison tunnel, while Chen Mu chose to kill the Chinese army directly and block the enemy's front.

Chen Mu only had more than 300 people in his hands, and these people were the most experienced gunners in his family, pushing a two-pound cannon in three formations and swaggering along the path towards the enemy army.

He is the same as the soldiers are divided into three roads, left and right to walk two hundred-man teams in the bushes more than a dozen paces, in the middle of the road he personally led the hundred-man team to push the artillery in a dense formation to walk over, the cannon chamber is stuffed with grape cans, the flag army on both sides of the artillery carriage holds four boxes of small flag arrows, the back palm thunder small flag, and then all the guns.

It was not far from the distance, although it was dark, and a brigade like theirs could not get close to walking, and more than a mile away from the rest of the enemy's front was discovered by the sentinels hidden in the trees, and the shouts of the Luzon were heard in the forest, and the front of the battle was brightened.

A string of popping beans sounded, and the trees were planted with sentry.

Chen Mu waved his hand expressionlessly and ordered, "Swing out the formation, continue to move forward, and prepare to meet the enemy; All small flags, if the formation is disrupted, each lead his subordinates to fight in small formations, don't panic. ”

In the distance, there was a loud shout of scolding and scolding, the riot was still far away, Chen Mu didn't delve into what he was talking about, just marched in formation, and after a while, he heard the sound of a crowd running in front of him, and he could see the light of the torches from far and near through the forest.

"Stop, little flag and arrow ready!"

Seeing that the field of vision in front of him was quite smooth, Chen Mu gave an order, and Long Junxiong led the strong people of the family to carry a big shield to protect them on the left and right, and the flag army in front of him raised their guns in a round-fire formation.

The palms on both sides scattered the formation, but it was the same for both sides of the enemy, and no one could set up a large formation in the rainforest.

Especially the ronin who rushed over first, there was no formation at all, and the monster who dragged the knife and raised the gun screamed and rushed out, and the fastest ronin leader collided head-on with the flying small flag arrow, and was nailed to the chest by the arrow, and was pushed by gunpowder to stop the momentum under the pain, and took several steps backwards and loaded it in the crowd.

The left and right Japanese soldiers scrambled to support each other, the long arrow in the chest exploded with a bang, and the flying iron fragments killed several people immediately, and the ronin leader who was shot by the small flag arrow had a white face, and was not hit by the iron bullet, but the arrow cluster was pushed inward by the explosion a few inches, and the death was not ugly.

The ronins hired by Spain were accustomed to the weapon of small flag arrows along the way, although there were many casualties, the rest were not afraid, and for a while, the morale of those who released their guns and raised their knives to jump in battle was extremely high.

Chen Mu is surrounded by veterans, who have gone south and north to destroy the Japanese and Tatars, this kind of momentum can't frighten them, and with the order of the flag officer, the flag army that faced the charge first retreated step by step, and the bird guns sounded one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the first three rounds of bird guns with the fastest rate of fire were released.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the former surfer fell down, and a few fish caught in the net rushed to the front with superhuman bravery, and a few fiery round melons were thrown out of the smoke, and then exploded behind him, and the iron shattered in the sky was beaten to a thousand holes.

"Left wing round shot, put!"

Chen Mu's eyes flickered, if he really wanted a big battle, he might not be able to take care of it, but this kind of formation of thousands of people in a narrow area, as long as there are these armies, he has not yet been born!

The left and right wings of the guns are put in wheels, when the smoke in front of them is gone, the ronin in front is retreating, the Luzon soldiers in the back are advancing, the road is crowded into a mess, the two-pound cannon is pushed forward, a boom cannon explodes in the road, and the grape bombs are sprayed out in the sky, which is the signal of the ambush attack.

For a time, the flag troops in all parts of the dense forest shouted and killed, and the ambushes on both sides of the forest were in full swing against the enemy birds in the road, officially starting the first battle of the expeditionary force on the island! https://./14_14088/
