It is not an easy task to switch from defense to offense.

But switching from offense to defense is often more uncomfortable, because it means that the attacker loses the initiative on the battlefield, especially at home.

Deng Zilong listened to Chen Muqiang's suggestion to do weak branches, but there was no good way for the time being, because just like Deng Zilong said about the advantages of the Nanyang Sect's army in training and commanding, pulling the tiger skin of the Heavenly Empire is extremely useful in this era, and there is no need to do anything.

This kind of discipline is relatively lacking in the Liangguang Prefecture, and more importantly, Chen Mu did not directly transfer the power of the Liangguang army, his authority was fully displayed overseas, and the officials at home and abroad only respected him and the Nanyang Military Government, and did not eat him at all.

The other obedient army is Lin Feng, Lin Daoqian, Shi and those only remaining East Asian pirates, who can pull up thousands of people and horses to go overseas without relying on official positions, which is a fuel-efficient lamp, at first there may be a basis for cooperation, but now Chen Ye's wings are hard, he just wants to find a home for the pirates and tricksters of the Ming Dynasty, and there is nothing else to think about.

In fact, the only army he can command is this clan army, let him hold a knife in his right hand and cut off his left hand, is it impossible and reluctant?

This problem would plague him for a long time without being able to sleep peacefully.

But compared with Deng Zilong's foresight, Shao Tingda's suggestion is much simpler and crude.

"Brother Mu, you have to trust your brothers more, that Lin Manjue has fought Guam, but you don't know about his situation, the Spaniards in Guam are mixed with the Americans you said, and the 20,000 soldiers are no more than Mo Jingdian's 20,000 people.

"Now in the war, I can't wait to take General Lin as Qi Shuai's envoy, he will always be three or five thousand envoys for those thousand people." The bald tiger was very angry when he mentioned this, and his big eyes with round and missing eyebrows were very funny, and said: "We are really a thousand and three thousand, and we have to be five hundred people to make - brother, there are some things that we can only say, let go of your hands and feet and clean up the reckless Yingli, the whole army is thinking this way!" ”

On the march, Chen Mu walked across the high-headed horse, and the nearest personal soldiers were more than ten steps in front and behind, he looked at Shao Tingda and sighed.

He understands the truth, but the situation is different.

Liu Xian and Yu Dayou in the north, the soldiers of the people are recruited, and they are all military households that command and train in various places and are natives.

He is different, he holds the more than 10,000-headed banner army of the Nanyang Sect in his hand, regardless of whether it is a sect or a domain, the flag army is trained little by little, the ordnance is made up little by little, and the officers are taught by batches, telling him to let go of the army and move - he discovered this problem as early as when Yi An was fighting with Ruan Ti.

There are many waves of battles that can be leveled, he is more willing to grind steadily, and the technical means have not yet reached the situation of queuing to be shot, under his military orders, Zhu Wei can only play the form of queuing and shooting.

Unwilling to pay a price.

Especially Shao Tingda's mention today, it reminded him of the generation of heroes who stood in the chicken coop in later generations.

Some people say that the principal is a little untalented and resolute.

The era of the great man is different from today, the great man and the great man are strong and weak, he feels that he can't even compare with the shortcomings of others, and the small shortcomings in his personality are slightly similar, and it is not a matter of pride, not to mention that the heroes and heroes of that era are not the ones who were born to do things during the Chengping years can judge.

But he felt that Shao Tingda was right, he did rely on a little bit of understanding of the universe, but his talent was really insufficient.

Although his brother has a tiger temperament, he looks stupid and black all day long, and sometimes his mind is bright, but he is also coarse and fine, he stopped at the horse and turned his head and asked: "Then what do you think, in this battle, attack Baigu, how to do it?" ”

Chen Mu was looking forward to it, and he even felt that the so-called saying that if you are bald, you can become stronger, it is really true, maybe the scalp can absorb oxygen.

"I think?"

When it came to the matter, the bald tiger smiled embarrassedly, rode a heavy horse boat to the black mount he got from Manila, touched his bald head, raised his head for a moment, and said categorically: "Hurry up, open the city gate, take him by surprise, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

Chen Mu's face was a little hot, the bald tiger was also a tiger, he shouldn't have any expectations for Shao Tingda except for recklessness, he slowly bowed his head and said: "I know, bring Commander Zhang here, you take over as the vanguard first." ”

As he spoke, Chen Mu waved his hand and called the family to write the order.

In fact, he should talk to Deng Zilong about this matter, but Chen Mu's army is large and Bai Yuanjie's army is small, and their original plan is to use conventional siege methods to besiege the division and besiege Bai Gu on three sides, and put it in the north to let the enemy flee for their lives, which is Lin Manjue's mission.

Chen Mu fought in the south, Bai Yuanjie attacked the west, and the east naturally needed manpower, and Chen Lan also partnered with Gao Gong in Nanyang to guard Nanyang, such a mission is naturally only Deng Zilong can take on the great task of leading an army alone.

They have different marching routes, and it is unlikely that they want to discuss with Deng Zilong now, so they can only find Zhang Shijue to discuss.

"Heha!"

The bald head was happy when he heard the pioneer, and he clasped his hood and hugged his fists and sang: "Order!" ”

Because his headquarters was in the Chinese army, he immediately let the messenger gallop his horse next to the official army's marching road, and when he arrived at the next crossing that had been discovered by the drawing scout, he immediately ordered his subordinates to take the road, and he surrendered his hand to Chen Muyao at the fork in the road, so he led the army to rush north from another road.

Don't say that the crowd of ten thousand troops, even if thousands of troops march, unless they are in their own ruling area, they must divide their troops and march together, otherwise tens of thousands of troops will not be on the same road, and then counting the baggage teams that will come first, the front army will go to the foot of Baigucheng, and the rear army will only pass halfway, and no matter how many troops can not be put into a battlefield in a short time, it is also a waste of empty food and grass.

Shao Tingda's march was not unpleasant, that night, Zhang Shijue led his headquarters of thousands of people to wait for the Chinese army in front, leaving Huang Dexiang and Lou Qimai still in the front army, and the new pioneer officer Shao Tingda moved forward together, and his headquarters complied with the order to change with Shao Tingda, and Fu Yuan belonged to the rear army.

"The last general doesn't think there's anything wrong with the commander's deployment, it's definitely not a compliment." Zhang Shijue hugged his fists and said: "If the battle between Liu Shuai and Yu Shuai in the north is tight, we will be ordered to attack the back of the main force of the Mang army, and we should gallop forward; But before the war, the three marshals had already made a plan, the second marshal in the north was the main attack, and the marshal occupied its foundation and contained the abdomen and back. ”

"It is not only a containment, but it is enough to be invincible, and it is a step forward for the commander to win steadily." Zhang Shijue said: "We can't win, but we can't be defeated, otherwise the elite of the military government and the guards in World War I will be scattered, and the damage to the national prestige will be difficult to curb the big affairs of the Nanyang countries." ”

Even though there were their own troops for more than ten miles before and after, Chen Mu still released scouts to rotate the night to prepare for the unexpected, but he didn't expect to prevent the enemy and stopped the messenger sent back by the front army overnight.

"Report to the marshal, the front army has encountered the enemy, and Commander Shao has led the army to pursue overnight!"
