Chen Mu had never seen such a scene, and neither did Zhang Shijue.

On the coast of Annan, when there were still forty miles close to Yanzhou, Chen Mu and Deng Zilong led the fleet to sail to their target beach.

His destination is Zhujiang and Lanjiang between Yi'an, Yi'an, which means peace in the world.

Before the boat docked, over the white and soft sandy beach, Chen Mu saw through the telescope that the road not far away was like a common paddy field ridge road in Guangdong, with a sandy beach on one side and a low forest on the other side, and houses and dilapidated wooden boats on the shore along the coast.

Nearer, feathered arrows stuck in broken wooden boats on the sand, and once the house seemed to have a yard, but now there is no fence in sight.

The wooden door of the house had already collapsed, and the windows had broken a few pieces, no matter how it looked, it didn't look like there were still people living there.

Farther away, the sparse trees beside the road exposed the farmland that had been barren for an unknown amount of time, and in the invisible direction, several black smoke rose into the sky.

Balloons were raised on the edge of the beach, the big ships of the fleet anchored along the coast, each releasing the troop boats, and a group of flag troops wearing helmets and armor landed on the eight-mile-long beach.

Adhering to Chen Mu's fine tradition, it would be good to have one cavalry in the ten banner armies.

There was no news from the boat that there was an enemy situation in the vicinity, Chen Mu walked out of the troop transport boat, and several large flags of the Nanyang Military Mansion stood on the land belonging to the Annan Yi'an Mansion and did not know whether it should be called Tangshe Society or Zhangshe Society.

"I thought this was already the rear of the war."

Chen Mu's boots stepped on a pebble, the thin steel sheet on the boot made a crisp sound, when he was on the boat, he noticed that Chen Mu had been looking at the abandoned house on the shore, and after getting off the boat, the young juniper who ran quickly returned the horse, rolled the saddle beautifully, and shook his head at the lord and said: "There has been no one for a long time, the property and cloth in the house have long been swept away, the beams have been unloaded, and there is not a grain of rice left." ”

"There are several traces of a large group of people and horses on the official road, which are very messy and cannot be traced, but I only know that they are all going south, with deep ruts and cow and horse hoof prints." Juniper clasped his fists and said: "Between the ten months, the fleeing people brought their families and mouths, the rebel army crossed the forest aisle, and the Mo army swept in. ”

Juniper spread his five fingers and said, "There are knives, spears, feathered arrows, crossbow arrows, and gunballs in the house, and I don't know how many fights have occurred. ”

"Let the flag officers of all ministries cheer up, Annan is in troubled times, and we have set foot on the battlefield." Chen Mu bent down to pick up the broken arrow shaft without an arrow cluster in the fragments of the beach shell, looked at the handwriting on the end of the arrow, held it in his hand, and said: "The scout probed north and south along the official road and drew the sketch, the south side of the map given by the Guangxi Political Secretary was too hasty. ”

There are two copies of the Annan map of the Guangxi Political Division, and the map of the Yongle Year can still be used earlier, but the roads, fields, mountains and forests have changed in a hundred years, so we cannot be biased.

The second one was offered by Mo Dengyong, the ancestor of the Mo clan, when he surrendered forty years ago, but the terrain south of Shenglong was not as fine as that of Yongle Nian.

In particular, there are many mountains and forests here, the rivers are intricate, and there are 15 prefectures, 36 prefectures, 180 counties in the era of Jiaozhi Chengxuan, and 10 prefectures are tied to a piece and not a Qiongzhou mansion is big.

Neither of the two drawings could meet Chen Mujun's combat needs, so they needed to redraw them.

"General, discover the enemy." Zhang Shijue walked over with a few banner soldiers, presented a drawing, and said: "The boat has just drawn the surrounding terrain, there is cooking smoke in the southwest, and a small group of enemy troops are infested; The farthest to the north can see General Deng's ship docking, which should be thirty miles away, and the enemy's trace is about twenty miles. ”

Deng Zilong is located at the southern end of Yanzhou, and Chen Mu is located in the northern section of Yi'an, which is more than 30 miles apart, which is the limit of what the boat can observe.

At this distance, it was found that the soldiers and horses and warships must not be able to see the flag clearly, and the number of ships and soldiers depended on blind guessing.

The map drawn by the boat on the coast was much more streamlined, but it was very useful, and it proved that the road that was as narrow as a ridge road was not an official road, but that the real official road was seven or eight miles away from the woods and farmland to the west.

Moreover, the boat saw that the city of Yi'an Mansion was located, located in the south and west, and the distance was too far to look down on the city, but if you can see the city in this position, it can only be the city of Fu.

"Let the flag army pack up, then get on the boat and hurry south." Chen Mu said and looked at the huge figure of the coastal boat, and said, "Let the boat collect the ball, it's getting dark, and I don't know where to fish it when it falls." ”

The so-called small group of enemies, the Lookout Banner Army on the ship balloon carefully marked the number of 500 on the sketch, but in fact, no one believed the people who looked at the map, so they just looked at it.

Chen Mu guessed that between the 100-man team and the 1,000-man team, the army was twenty miles away, and he planned to deal with them now.

But the short landing for half an hour has already given Chen Mu some guesses about the course of the war that took place between the Mo Northern Dynasty and the Li Southern Dynasty.

The Banner Army slipped easily on the shore for a while, and the two days of rocking on the boat had a great impact on the combat strength of the Flag Army, so that they could move their muscles and muscles, and when they boarded the ship again, it was time for dinner.

After dinner, the sky was dark, and the fleet slowly drifted south along the coast at a speed that could not be changed, and Chen Mu summoned the generals on the Chihai ship to discuss the next battle.

"The Mo clan has completely pushed the battle line to Yi An, divided the Li clan, Mo Jingdian led the army to fight with the Li clan Zheng Song in Thanh Hoa, and Ruan Ti led the army south to Yi An, this is the news I learned when I was in Qiongzhou."

"Now a small group of enemy traces have been found more than 20 miles outside the city of Nghe An, and the battle situation is unfavorable to the Lê clan, if Nghe An has fallen, Nguyen Ti will continue to attack Ha Tinh and Quang Binh to the south until Hue, but he has not left yet, I think the two armies should hold each other in Nghe An."

Chen Mu said that he held the table of the cabin of the ship, and said: "I am not too late, I want to send a boat to the mouth of the Yi'an River to try to enter the city, Ruan Ti has a lot of troops, it is best to defeat him in one fell swoop with the Li generals, and then lead them north, and hold on to Mo Jingdian in Thanh Hoa." ”

Zheng Song of Thanh Hoa is now the powerful minister of the later Lê Dynasty, and the state of Annam is now very similar to the Japanese shogunate, and even more intense, just last year Zheng Songgang killed the king of the Lê clan and set up a seven-year-old young lord.

Regardless of his character, Zheng Song led his troops to fight very well, and once attacked Shenglong, Chen Mu felt that he could stop Mo Jingdian.

Zhang Shijue lowered his head and didn't speak, and Chen Mu asked, "What do you think?" ”

"General, Annan is divided, the Mo clan of the Northern Dynasty started in Gaoping, and the ancestor of the family is a usurper and rebel; After Qinghua, Li existed in name only, and Zheng Songshi was treacherous; Hue Nguyen Huang took refuge behind, no matter how urgent the war was, these generals couldn't believe it. ”

"It can be relied on for a while, the coalition army, I'm afraid it won't be a long-term plan."

Hearing Zhang Shijue say this, a smile appeared on Chen Mu's face, Annan in the war is a Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is very exciting.

Zhang Shijue told several generals in Annan, but he didn't mention the Wu clan who guarded Xuanguang.

Chen Mu said: "What you said is true, at this time, I can't wait to use its power to attack the Mo clan together, when this battle is over, we will let the Wu clan come out of Xuanguang, enter the ascending dragon, and give us a good look at the riverbank!" ”
