The guerrilla banner army crossed mountains and mountains, and even if it was easy to move alone, it was still not as good as the march of a large army of the Western Army on an official road with good road conditions.

When the scouts arrived at Nangu Road, the guard Shao Tingda was already arranging defenses...... One hundred households dispatched halfway up the mountainside, six hundred households drilled into the trenches that had been repaired, the cavalry and horses were wandering back and forth in the rear, and the artillery team and banner army rushed to the position with large rounds of artillery.

Shao Tingda's gaze swept across the wide canyon for nearly four miles, and there were words in his mouth: "Artillery loading is seventy-five breaths, seventy-five breaths Lao Tzu can run four hundred steps, four hundred steps and four hundred steps...... Four hundred steps! ”

The soldier next to him galloped out with the wooden sign, and after a while, he inserted the wooden sign next to the tree four hundred steps away, and waved his arms high at Shao Tingda.

Shao Tingda couldn't help but wonder, he knew where it was four hundred steps, but he was angry with himself in his mouth, but when he saw that the banner army had run out, he shouted loudly: "Six hundred steps, insert it six hundred steps away!" ”

After shouting, Shao Tingda turned to the flag army and asked, "The reinforcements from Dashuai and Lao Fu haven't come yet?" ”

He needs artillery, more artillery.

Reinforcements are also needed, more reinforcements.

Twelve miles west of Nangu Road, in the port, Liandou stretched out his arms and shouted, shrugged his shoulders and pressed his waist knife to the east, taking fast and rapid steps, the sound of armor colliding behind him was endless, and the Guards Banner Army carrying the bird gun on his back hurried to Nangu Road.

The juniper on the horse's back was tightly tied with a hairband, and he took the high-topped helmet from his horse's hand and fastened it on his head, and the iron armor covered with a dragon-patterned blue cloth made a crisp collision sound, he turned his head and waved to the Jiading cavalry, and the horse paced forward with neat steps.

In the Daojun Temple in the north of the port village, Chen Mu walked out of the temple with his helmet in his arms, and he still had the incense and candles left by the worship of the gods. ”

As he spoke, he buckled up his helmet and said, "Let's go." ”

Outside the temple gate, more than ten horsemen were ready to go, and the civil officials who saw them off were all solemn and cautious, only Zou Yuanbiao was crying and mournful, like a husky mixed in a wolf pack.

Chen Mu bowed his hand to the civilian officials of the military government, turned his head and turned back, staring at Zou Yuanbiao: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Dashuai, cornfield, Du Heizi has entered the cornfield!"

This is nonsense, the cotton fields are too low, the sugar cane fields are too hard, only the corn fields can hide people and horses, and they are close to the open land at the mouth of the canyon, it is an excellent ambush area, where can Juniper go without cavalry?

Chen Mu looked back and pointed at Zou Yuanbiao, ignored him, turned on his horse and left the port village with his own soldiers and two Zhenshuo general cannons, followed by Yang Tingxiang, Xu Zhenming and others, who led the people to the coast to avoid the war.

No one stays in a sturdy port building.

The white-walled, orange-tiled two-story building in a dwelling made of earth, wood and wheat straw was too striking, and although it was a good natural vantage point to observe the battlefield outside of Shao Tingdabu's position, it was not wise.

In this era, there were only two places in Europe where long-barreled iron cannons could be cast independently, England and the Netherlands, but bronze cannons could be cast by everyone, although the performance was slightly better, but bronze cannons were many times more expensive.

It is worth mentioning that the historical Hongyi cannon was salvaged from the Dutch warship and ship guns, and there were no problems with the imitation of iron, which was an achievement that could only be had by the metallurgical process of that era.

Usually a cannon weighing a thousand catties, except for the monster like a stone cannon, is usually used in combat at a distance of four hundred steps, but its maximum range of six or seven miles is not surprising, Chen Mu does not want to be beaten in this small port building that is obviously a target.

What if it's right?

Zou Yuanbiao was glared at by Chen Mu, and he didn't understand what was going on, but when he saw Juniper leading Chen Mu's cavalry into the green cornfield, he was very blocked, and his eyes caught a glimpse of Almansa and Acosta watching the changes of the Ming army, and they were even more angry.

"Hurry up and take the people away, grinding here, you provoked this rebellion!"

Almansa had a strange feeling about the Ming army, he felt that literati like Zou Yuanbiao were all nobles of the Ming Kingdom, not to mention commanding the banner army, and even speaking to him and Acosta was like calling a servant.

Treat most of the people of status like servants; Treating the 'people' in their mouths without identity is like teaching their children...... Oh, by the way, Zou Yuanbiao can still speak well, Chen Mu will scold him, but he feels that this is not because Chen Mu's identity is the marshal of the Ming army.

Almansa was not surprised by accepting Zou Yuanbiao's order to 'assign and advise the people to leave', but asked with a strange face when Zou Yuanbiao waved his arm to let the aborigines leave: "Is General Chen's father a great nobleman of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Zou Yuanbiao just glanced at him, and said in his heart that this Europa barbarian was blinded by lard, what is there to inquire about Chen Mu's genealogy?

In the chaotic villages, the aborigines experienced an unprecedented experience, they were always worried that the Western army would fight back, although the Ming army occupied this place for a short time, but they were very friendly to them, neither looting nor assigning them anything.

Even if they need labor, they will be paid daily wages, and it is promised that in the future there will be a fixed market here, and these scraps of silver will allow them to buy decent household goods, food and clothing.

What's more, the land was also allocated to them, although the work of clearing the acres of land continued, and most of them had not yet been given the land, but it was enough to be grateful that Chen Mu let go of all the captives and let them choose to stay.

The only regret is that the church was attacked and the artillery fire on the night of the attack was destroyed, and it seems that the Ming army had no intention of rebuilding.

They were ruled by the Spaniards for decades, and their faith was as necessary as eating and drinking, but no one dared to give Zou Yuanbiao advice...... In fact, most people don't always have the opportunity to see Zou Yuanbiao.

It was feared that the invasion of the Western army would put an end to this, and it would all seem like a short-lived dream, waking up and continuing to live his life as a slave to the Spaniards.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army would choose to take them to escape the war in the news of the attack of the Western Army, those who were willing to leave were taken, and those who did not want to go were forcibly taken away, and a long migration line was discharged on the beach, and the Ming army did not send troops to protect them.

Before leaving the village, more than 20 lieutenants on the Yellow Book followed Zou Yuanbiao's entourage to receive spears, swords and shields, and bows and arrows from the booty, and selected young and strong juniors from the lieutenants to serve as errand soldiers, protecting the people along the way, and helping the old and young flee from the battlefield.

The grassroots organizations of the Ming Dynasty, which had tended to disintegrate by this year, were revitalized in the New World on the other side of the ocean.

It wasn't until the echo of artillery bombardment could be heard from the distant gorge that it became known that the war had begun.
