"Almantha is a fool, if we succeed this time, the center of the entire New World will be under the control of the Oriental Military Government, what bottom line does he mention, where is the bottom line?"

Riding on their horses and waving their whips lightly, the Black Cloud Dragoon finally stepped out of the uncomfortable dense forest and into a relatively open valley plain, and a short distance to the northeast was a wide official road, which also meant that they were about to approach the station of the Herrera Legion.

Shao Tingda was also riding on a horse, and he had a different opinion on Heiyunlong's words, and said: "He is not confused, he has a clear calculation, but he has no other way to go, he can only rely on us." ”

"The current war is a battle that can be completed in two or three months, no matter in Shao's view, and it will not exceed June this year at the latest, as soon as the second phase of the flag army arrives, we will have an advantage in terms of strength and ships, and the same is true for the Spaniards, and the king's letter will be sent back in four months no matter what, and it is up to him whether to fight him or not, and we have the final say on how to fight him."

"I can afford it."

"What are the consequences of allowing Bernal to do whatever he wants? They are unwilling to reach a contract with the Oriental Military Government, Brother Mu will definitely have a big fight with Spain in Asia, and when the time comes, not only the Oriental Military Government, but also the Nanyang Military Government will be transferred, and it will not end in two or three years. ”

"In terms of troops, we may be strong or weak, but the victory lies in the fact that Daming did not fight with others, and he freed up his hand to fight a sea battle, they are different, not to mention internal and external troubles, not to mention the ability to make a large number of iron cannons by themselves, the further it drags on, the more favorable the war situation is for us."

"They are all big countries, and anyone can take 100,000 troops to compete in Asia, as long as there are two or three major wars a year, the foundation of the Oriental Military Government will be empty, and the Nanyang Military Government will also hurt its vitality, but fortunately, the imperial court will not have a little trouble, even if it is fought for another year, it is estimated that the Nanyang Military Government will only be exhausted of the silver grain reserves."

"This is just easy to say, if you really fight a big war, it is estimated that it will be difficult, but in the end, it will not hurt the DPRK and China fundamentally, then it can still be fought, as long as Spain can't hold it first, Brother Yimu's mouth can get everything spent back."

"Almansa knows very well that the consequence of losing the battle is that Xiguo will lose everything, so he just wants to be a good person and rely on Brother Mu."

Heiyunlong pursed his lips and said: "Soft bones, then we have to fight, if they can win a few battles, maybe the pressure in our country will come, not to mention that they are not weak, it is not known who will kill the deer, if he didn't help us so much, we would probably have retreated to the north, and then they gathered more than 20,000 people, at least this year Chen Shuai will not want to start a war with them." ”

"Not to mention that he also let us know that the Western Army can be broken one by one."

Heiyunlong is usually the one who is laughed at by others with disgusted expressions among the generals of the military government, although his face is less, but in the end he has a lot of benefits, at least everyone is a relative.

But when he mentioned 'Governor A' again after this incident, his face was full of disgust that he couldn't hide.

"Hey!"

Shao Tingda laughed out loud for some reason, and said with emotion: "He looks down on the half-race legion leader, why is he not this kind of person?" ”

"Although this is the case, but Lao Hei, you can't say that, if Shao was born in the West, grew up in the middle of wars, and went west to Asia to transport money and grain to the country, who wants to sell this to other countries, Shao is the first to deny it, regardless of why it is right to defend against foreign insults."

"But we are the Ming army, not the Spaniards, you can look down on him in your heart, but he has helped us a lot."

Shao Tingda raised his horsewhip and said to Heiyunlong: "You can not see it if you are annoying, but if you see it, we have to be grateful to others in doing it, this is a military order." ”

The Black Cloud Dragon received this military order with a wilt, and muttered disapprerovingly: "If you don't see him in the future, you won't get it, and you will accept it with your humble position—the scout is back!" ”

As he was talking and seeing the scout, the old black face was flushed again, and he changed the topic in a hurry.

Shao Tingda was helpless, he was also very anxious about the news of the scout, and it was none other than his adopted son who was sick and sick.

"Shao Shuai, the first two miles is the official road, the army can't go any further, the two scout teams ambushed a few Westerner scouts, and there is no leakage of news under the random arrows, but I don't think there is much time."

Shao Tingda nodded, he led the army to approach here in order to take advantage of the battle between the two sides to clean up the Herrera legion, now that the scouts are meeting each other, it means that they are not far from the enemy camp, he waved his hand to his subordinates to spread the guard, and asked the sick Yang'er: "How about it, the scouts can detect the surrounding terrain and the location of the two armies?" ”

"It's all there!"

With a relieved smile on her face, it was so easy for the scout team with binoculars to explore the military formation in the lowlands under the mountainous terrain here!

Saying that, he wanted Shao Tingda to hand over a map, on which there was a river on the east side, marked twenty zhang long, and on the west side of the river was the station of the Herrera Legion, and the right flank was leaning on the riverbank, and the scout also thoughtfully drew a low embankment on the riverbank.

The westernmost part of the map is several mountains stretching from north to south, and the approximate height of the summit is measured by the ranging methods of the Ming army to be about 280 zhang.

Because there was a path down the hill, the scouts suspected that there might be a camp of the Western Army there, which was a more suitable place to place artillery, and the scouts planned to venture out there next.

However, Shao Tingda felt that the Westerners would not put the artillery team so far away from the camp, and the use of artillery alone was the habit of Chen Mu or the Southern and Eastern Eryang Military Governments, but it was not the habit of the Spaniards.

As for the reason? They don't know how to cast iron cannons, the value of bronze cannons is too high, and it hurts to lose one outside, not to mention that it is likely that they do not have a surplus artillery team at all.

Spain's armies in the New World are elite in terms of soldiers, but in terms of logistics and supply, they mean the same thing to the country as to suppress the local guards.

The aboriginal villages and camps were located to the north-west of the Herrera Legion, also relying on the river, which was good for the aborigines to survive in peacetime, but it was more advantageous for the Spaniards to fight because the river bank was flat and there was not much dense forest, and the view was good for cavalry to attack.

There were also several hills to the southwest of Herrera's legion, which provided a natural barrier to their left flank and rear, and a bridge over the river on the right flank, from which the Spanish army had been deployed.

The scouts of the Ming army surveyed and mapped this map on the southwest mountain, so it was very safe over there, Shao Tingda said with a smile: "I'm afraid Commander Herrera didn't expect someone to appear from here, but for us and others, the road ahead is also very difficult, and the army has to pass through this valley between the two armies to get there, and the artillery can't pass." ”

Shao Tingda turned his head to Heiyunlong and said: "I will lead 1,400 infantry with Governor A to pass through here first, and you will lead 500 cavalry to pass later, lead the horse to the south, detour back to the southeast riverbank, and wait for the opportunity to move after the battle." ”

"It's up to you whether it's dismounting, foot fighting, or cavalry assault, in short—we must crush this legion!"
