When the first drop of rain fell from the sky, the huge cheers of the Mongolian soldiers sounded on the other side of the Juma River, those Saibei warriors who knew how to bow and sword and strong horses fought against the Ming Dynasty for many years, they knew that the strength of the Ming army was strong in firearms; Firearms are weak, and they are weak in the rain.

Regardless of the gun, if it is stained with rain, it must be dumb.

Knowing this, the Ji Neng cavalry was overjoyed, and even Ji Neng, who had been in the military for a long time, dispatched several units of cavalry to roam the riverbank, and once again resorted to deterrent tactics, intending to undermine the morale of the flag army on the other side.

In Ji Neng's view, when it is not raining, the Tethered Horse Bridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the defenders of the small river valley are much weaker, but once it rains, the defenders of the small river valley with few firearms will be much stronger than the Tethered Horse Bridge.

"And let him be majestic for another half a day, and wait for the heavy rain to fall, Chen Mu? Oh, step on his broken mound! ”

The Ming army on the other side is afraid!

Since the rain, it was not only Ji Neng who frequently mobilized troops, but also the Ming army on the other side, first at least 500 people on each side of the bridge lined up in formation, obviously their guns and artillery were not good.

Then three cannons bombarded from far away on the right side of the opposite bank, and they didn't hurt a few people, and they looked like they were pretending, and they wanted to tell him that the artillery was still usable.

But the more this is the case, doesn't it mean that Chen Mu's heart is empty?

Of course, Chen Mu is weak-hearted!

"Quick, drag the cannon to the right flank again, this time only put two cannons, pull up the five-pound cannon and wipe it clean!" Chen Mu stood on the artillery position, pointing to the east and drawing the west and giving orders one after another, and constantly reminding the outside of the orders, "Don't let Ji Neng see that our artillery is still usable!" ”

The fog before the rain helped Chen Mu a lot, and the captives on the other side were so excited, obviously they didn't know that he had already set up a canopy, but the artillery array was not hung with oilcloth, and at this time his soldiers were busy hanging tent cloths, regardless of gunpowder or artillery, the rain did not bring the slightest impact.

"Go and tell General Deng that once the northern captives attack, first use the two-wing bows, crossbows, swords, and spears to face it for a while, and wait for the captives to ride across the bridge, and then release the enemy, this time Chen will kill him a thousand people and create a big victory!"

The thousand-man team on both wings were all new soldiers, but they had a lot of bows and crossbows, not to mention cheap spears, and the most weapons transferred by the Arsenal Division were spears, which blocked the two wings of the bridge with the trenches of the birds, even if the captives crossed the river, either galloped or dismounted, no one would ride a war horse to the spear array.

Of course, if someone really scolds the spear array like this, Chen Mu is also happy to see it.

After explaining this, Chen Mu untied his scarf, held the red tasseled phoenix wings on his head, turned around and smiled at the two prison guards, buckled his helmet and hugged his fists and asked, "Can Chen ask the prison guards to carry out the artillery order on his behalf?" ”

Wu Dui and Chen Ju were stunned by his question, who didn't know that the most important thing in Chen Mu's position was where the artillery was, Chen Ju saw that this request actually had General Chen's intention to flatter, so he said with a straight face: "Thank you for the general's kindness, but this artillery array is the most important thing, although our masters are internal officials, they also know the importance of it, and they can't fake the hands of others!" ”

Let's guys!

Hey, this eunuch's self-proclaimed taste is enough!

Chen Mu tied the helmet with his face, first handed over his telescope to Wu Dui, and then put Chen Ju's hand into his hand with a dragon horn flag, and said: "Don't worry too much, the sixteen artillery pieces have been adjusted to the firing angle, with the intention of cutting off the enemy's rear road and blocking them on the bridge. ”

"Chen didn't intend to fight when he came to Northern Xinjiang, and he didn't have enough cronies who could take charge of himself, and he needed three generals to command the front line to win, but he only brought two deputy generals, so he could only take the lead."

Chen Mu was dressed neatly, with a Nanyang gun hanging on his back, and took two handguns filled with medicine from the hands of the family soldiers, one left and one right, and inserted them into his waist, and once again told Wu Dui: "Wu Bingbei, you only need to keep an eye on Chen with a telescope at all times, and whenever the black flag is waved, you will inform the supervising army, and the supervising army will order the cannon." As soon as the artillery order is fired, it will not stop until our army is victorious! ”

"Chen's net worth is life, so please leave it to the two!"

Finally, Chen Mu stepped on his waist knife, walked down the artillery array surrounded by a group of soldiers, and walked straight towards the trench of the front army, leaving the two prison soldiers to explode on the artillery array, gritting their teeth.

This is the real weak against the strong, Chen Mu walked chicly, and the palms of his hands were also slippery, and when he arrived in front of the battle, the three armies were already in full array, and Deng Zilong and Hu Liangpeng were recruited: "You two each lead six hundred, live on the two wings, first block the enemy with bows and crossbows, just shoot at each other, is it feasible?" ”

Deng Zilong frowned and said, "The general wants to use the flag army to fill the wings?" ”

"Yes, two hundred households in Nanyang were transferred to your subordinates to serve as the vanguard, without them, as long as the recruits were engaged at the beginning of the battle, they would be defeated, and this battle was only allowed to win but not lose, and the captives were killed and retreated at one time."

"What about the Chinese army?"

This means that the Chinese trenches will completely abandon protection and will face the enemy's charge. Even if there were seven or eight steps in front of the trench, such an arrangement was still a bit too risky in Deng Zilong's opinion.

"I'll personally lead them, let's set up quickly, the enemy army will attack soon."

Chen Mu personally entered the trench to greatly encourage the banner army, and cheers rang out in the trench.

On the artillery position, Wu Dui exchanged glances with Chen Ju, walked away a few steps to avoid the surrounding artillery, and asked, "What do you think of General Chen?" ”

"It's capable, albeit younger." Chen Ju nodded, looked at the rapid change of the Maqiao front a hundred steps away with Chen Mu's arrival, narrowed his eyes and said: "This official has seen many generals, Tan Zili is shrewd and shrewd, Qi Yuanjing rewards and punishments must be believed, Li Ruqi volleys vertically and horizontally, and Ma Dexin gallops bravely, which can talk and laugh in the face of the northern captives, but this Chen General Soldier is handy and unique. ”

Chen Mu's disguise was very successful, no one could see how nervous he was, they could only feel his ease.

There are more generals who can easily raise troops into battle, even if they are like Chen Mu, who build a bunch of trenches and bring less than 2,000 recruits to put up a confused pocket formation, and even the formation is not strictly organized, and it is not impossible for a Ming general to laugh in the face of the Beiyu cavalry several times his size.

Although there are many shrewd and strong generals in the dynasty, there is never a shortage of fools who lead troops and sloppy fools, but the generals who can have the above rare foolish conditions one by one, and can also defeat the northern captives - Chen Ju smiled and said to Wu Dui: "The imperial court is very short of people like Chen Zongbing, as long as one is enough, no one can make the equipment so exquisite like him, if he has passed the imperial examination, he should go to the Ministry of Industry to be a court official!" ”

Wu Dui laughed when he heard this, he understood what Chen Ju said, and turned his head to look at it as if he didn't care, and then asked in a low voice: "Guangdong impeached him as the commander of Nanyang for being corrupt, intercepting the customs to draw plates, and grabbing forty percent of the guards, and the second assistant ordered him to come down to see him as a person-what does Chen Youjian think?" ”

Although Chen Ju considers himself a 'grandfather', sometimes his inadvertent actions still show a little femininity, pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "He has twenty taels of silver for a small cannon, and he has no financial resources to make him do great things?" There is a loss of private morality, and it is not worth the big festival, and the military equipment is truthfully reported, and the cabinet ministers are wise and have their own judgment. ”

"Some people do a good deed, and they can remember it for a lifetime; Some people only do one bad thing, and they can be remembered as bad for a lifetime; In this world, why be so strict with those who can do things? Chen Ju smiled, blinked, and said, "Juma River wants a big victory, and the grandfather of Qianqing Palace will like it." ”
