The huge Nantang ship sailed into the bay, and from a distance, the deck was full of flags, and the armor was shining.

Traditional Ming Dynasty troops landed in Acapulco.

Chen Ju wore a scarlet python robe and an official hat, crossed the long trestle bridge and saluted Chen Mu, and said: "When Chen Shuai is using troops here, the generals under our hands will shine on behalf of His Majesty, and they will also come to share some worries for the marshal." ”

As he spoke, the sergeants on the boat had already disembarked in detachments, and lined up three military formations on the beach, all of which were neatly dressed and brightly colored, and had the spirit of a mighty army.

The Beijing army, Chen Mu has been in the Beijing army camp, the Beijing army has been lax and weak since Tumubao, and when he was stationed in the Beijing camp, it may be the time when the Beijing army is the most unsightly.

However, after experiencing Qi Jiguang's military power in Gyeonggi and the rectification of military affairs in the Longqing period, the Beijing army at this moment may also be the best period of discipline after Tumubao.

Chen Mu looked at the three military formations from afar and asked Chen Ju, "Three battalions?" ”

"Well, I heard that Xiyi was in a small rebellion, and this time our masters came to help, sending 1,500 people from the 3rd battalion of the Beijing army and 1,500 people from the net army, so as to strengthen the momentum of the handsome."

The three major battalions of the Beijing army are the five military battalions, the Shenshu battalion and the Shenji battalion, the Shenshu battalion used to be called the 3,000 battalions, the name comes from the Ming Chengzu Zhu Di under the command of 3,000 Mongolian cavalry, the earliest used for foreign warfare, but later became the emperor's close attendant, in the Jiajing period by the emperor changed the name to the Shenshu battalion.

The soldiers of the three battalions have their own formations, and the colors of their armor and uniforms are also different, so you can know at a glance which battalion they belong to.

The five military battalions are led by the general of the horse army and the infantry, and the mixed infantry and cavalry are equipped with heavy armor, with spears and knives as the main weapons, and cavalry spears are all flag spears.

Outside the formation, several chariots were parked nearby.

At the beginning of its establishment, the Fifth Army Battalion was composed of elite soldiers from all over the world, and it was also the main force in the war.

The Shenshu battalion is a light cavalry force, everyone leads horses, carries sabers, muskets and riding bows, in Chen Mu's understanding, the armament of the Shenshu battalion has changed significantly from a few years ago, and the use rate of firearms has increased significantly.

However, the firearms they used were not bird guns or three-foot-long cavalry guns made by the Nanyang Ordnance Bureau, but three-eyed guns or horse-like furlong machines.

This involved the Eastern light cavalry method of warfare, with the Western archers often using the Parthian archers' offensive methods, stationing their horses before archery and attacking with arrows at medium distances.

In the East, however, light horsemen, whether using firearms or bows and arrows, most of the time shot at short distances, often only a kilometer away.

During the training, the cavalry rode their horses parallel to the target and was only a spear away, and the arquebus was held horizontally in front of them, galloping forward past the target and shooting at the same time, pursuing a single hit, which was different from the tactical purpose of long-range attack.

The same is true for the Japanese Raksa horses.

The most eye-catching is the Shenji Battalion, with a number of no more than 500, equipped with 360 Wanli three-year bird guns of the North and South Ordnance Bureau, and the others are equipped with handcuffs, with spurs hanging from their waists, and their bodies are covered with cloth and iron armor, and there are also a number of vehicle-mounted artillery pieces parked outside the military formation.

Five pounds and ten pounds of General Zhenshuo, a thousand pounds of Franc machines and a large number of individual flying cannons were loaded on the chariot.

The Flying Cannon is similar to a grenadier, and its curved trajectory can make up for the shortcomings of large artillery that is difficult to damage the enemy when the enemy approaches the vehicle.

The three battalions of the Beijing army can be called elite, but what attracted Chen Mu's attention the most was the warriors who followed behind Chen Ju.

There were about 20 people, each wearing a helmet and armor, and a small animal was accompanied by them, some with cats in their arms, some with tigers, some with eagles on their arms, and most of all, a big lynx squatting on the horse's buttocks.

Chen Mu pondered, did this Chen Buddha bring the zoo to help him fight?

Chen Ju arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty can't go to the sea in person, so he will bring out the birds and beasts of the Jingshi Tiger City, the leopard house, and the cat house, this is the Mongolian girl, the North Korean girl and the Dawan girl, the Mongolian girl is the soil girl, the North Korean girl is the soil girl, the arm is the female straight girl, that is the savage girl, the Siamese girl in the pocket, and the Annan girl is very big and did not bring it to the Zhuangyuan Bridge." ”

Chen Mu blinked and compared the little girl Chen Ju said one by one, the Mongolian girl is a horse, the North Korean girl and the Dawan girl are also horses, the female girl is a big eagle that looks like Hai Dongqing, and the savage girl is a big Siberian tiger.

As for the Siamese little maid, Chen Mu is already very familiar, and it is the cat that Xiao Wanli often sucks.

Chen Mu raised his thumb and rubbed his beard under his chin, and said to Chen Ju: "I guess I know Annan's little guy, right?" ”

Eighty percent were war elephants he captured on the battlefield of Annam.

Chen Ju nodded very seriously, and his expression made Chen Mu clearly feel that Chen Fo did not have the slightest sense of being funny or funny about this matter in his heart, as if this was normal, and it simply meant that the glory of Daming's trip around the world would bring these friends with him.

The most interesting are the earth girl and the earth girl, which symbolize the native animals of the Ming Dynasty, which are the great lynx squatting on the Mongolian horse and the golden leopard squatting on the Korean pony, respectively.

The ancients said that the cheetah is mostly a lynx, because the leopard can not be artificially reproduced, and the domestic leopard does not give birth to cubs, so it is not easy to domesticate, but the lynx is different, although the temperament is fierce but can understand the words, artificial breeding is difficult but easier than the leopard, from the Tang Dynasty is a good helper for noble hunting.

Therefore, there are a lot of names, such as earth leopard, grass flying, and horse camel.

The appearance of this large number of friends made Chen Mu smile on his face, and he couldn't help but think of Xiao Wanli, who was carrying a Siamese servant in his pocket in the Forbidden City, and turned back to himself and said that the palace did not prepare a meal for him.

"The sergeant of the Beijing camp came just in time, let's set up camp in the southwest of the port first, our land division has achieved a victory, General Shao annihilated a legion of the Western Army, brought back maps and intelligence, and our army can continue to advance eastward."

Chen Ju turned around and glanced at the sea, waved his hand and gestured to the generals of the third battalion, and his subordinates led the sergeants to the camp, he was slightly half a step behind Chen Mu, and said as he walked: "We heard that the Westerners still have reinforcements from the sea?" ”

"Well, the Governor of the West is with us, and he says that there are still nearly 10,000 Western troops in Peru who will come by boat, and I intend to meet them at sea with my fleet, defend where they must attack, and take Mexico City."

Chen Ju frowned, his footsteps stopped at the same time, and said, "Peru only has three legions, right?" Why don't you go the other way, Chen Shuai's main force is to block the enemy ships at sea, and we will lead the fleet around the sea to attack the empty place of its garrison. ”

Huh?

Chen Mu also paused, he really didn't think about dividing the troops, but at this time, with the help of the forbidden army, they can't do naval warfare, but their land warfare skills are still good, if they attack Peru, they may not be able to succeed.

"Don't worry, let's go to the port to integrate the map, this matter still needs to be planned." Chen Mu laughed as he spoke, his joy was indescribable, and said, "If nothing happens, we can collect all the Westerners in Asia in this battle!" ”
