The guns were shot from Nanyang and transported with the baggage. Because the time was still short, there were only a thousand guns in the baggage.

The sword-shaped ridges are made of steel and made of steel. In order to save trouble, it is not opened, that is, the blood tank. Because most swords in the Ming Dynasty were opened, this thing is mostly for decoration or forging defects. The biggest significance is that it can save materials when there are fewer materials.

Guangdong is not short of iron or steel. Even if Nanyang Wei uses firewood, lime and forges and many times, Chen Mu is still worried that some iron contains too high sulfur and affects the quality of weapons. He will definitely not use materials-saving methods to make guns.

The advantage is that the same number of infantry soldiers is more bird guns, and he can dry the enemy spearmen early; the disadvantage is that they are the same as the plug-in bayonets in history, and sometimes it is not easy to pull out. Basically, when a gun is plugged into a short spearmen, they will turn from a gunman to a short spearmen.

His gun is only four feet long, and his gun is less than six feet long. If he is simply at a disadvantage with the spear, he does not have to carry a waist knife.

This kind of gun piercing is just a temporary measure. It only equips Chen Mu's vanguard flag army, so that they can add some advantages in close combat. There will be no such gun piercing in the subsequent transportation of supplies.

There will be new tenon-type guns and spears, but even if the soft sword steel method of the Ministry of Works and Industry craftsmen is used as a spring, the accuracy of accessories is still too difficult for the craftsmen's craftsmanship. Even if the output is done well, it will not be much higher. Moreover, the new tenon-type guns and spears cannot be directly equipped on existing bird guns.

Chen Mu simply designed the new gun, and sent the design drawings back to Nanyang with the baggage ship. Nowadays, hydraulic forging hammers, drilling machines, and hand-cutting tool beds have improved productivity and processing accuracy, as well as innovations in fire technology, which can bring great development to the new gun.

All new guns are flintlocked, and the tail of the gun bed is made of a gun support that fits the human body. The head hoop of the gun barrel is matched with the jaw cover of the snail to not affect the through-bar. However, considering the needs of the next war, the rifle and Minnie bullets have not been added to the design.

He attached another design drawing to Guan Yuangu for his thoughts and experiments. In the future, he could use it on a small number of thicker and more durable gun barrels, and could also be matched with a small telescope. In Chen Mu's daydream of smirking, he would equip some snipers in the troops in a few years.

What he made for this was to send a message to Bai Yuanjie to buy a batch of oak with merchants in Portugal and ask them about the practical method of making glass.

But none of these things are more important than the current war.

As the scout sent out reported that someone was unable to come back alive, the news that the Ming army landed on Luzon Island should be known soon by the Spaniards, but it doesn't matter if the news leaked at this time.

Because only two days later than the scout's return, the mountain road pass where Shao Tingda was stationed was rolling.

Whether the motive is due to leaking news or pursuing the scout or deliberately cutting off the threat of Luzon Suleiman, several wolf smoke sixty miles south of Bansilan City meant one thing - the Spanish, here comes.

The people were panicked near Daimao Port, but what made Chen Mu feel at ease was that from afar and the recent beacon towers were two rays of black smoke turning into thin lines in the horizon, which meant that the enemy's troops were about 2,000. Shao Tingda had the advantage of the territory, and he held ten two-jin cannons in his hand. Even if he could not defend for one day, he would be in danger and fight and retreat.

"Shi Qianhu led the five hundred flag troops to support him first. If he could not resist, he would retreat twenty-seven miles away. It was suitable for intersecting and encircling. Chen set out after one hour. If you are not thirty miles away, I will continue to attack."

Shiqi took the order and rushed to the camp. After a moment of sounding the gathering drums in the camp, five hundred flag troops rushed to the south.

Chen Muze summoned his subordinates to discuss matters, and sent someone to inform Chen Lin, and sent three additional fleets to Daimao Port.

"Chen speculated that the Western barbarians still did not know that our army was on the island. Because Li Dan sent back a secret letter, there were only Lu on Luzon Island, with 6,000 Japanese soldiers and hundreds of Western barbarians, among which Li Dan recruited nearly 1,000 Han people."

Chen Mu spread out half of the Luzon Island surveyed and mapped by the flag army in the commander's tent, and said to the generals: "The garrison of the Western Barbarians is as Li Dan said, and the Manila garrisons are more than 3,000, and they are distributed everywhere in the city. They have not yet fully built the new royal city in the city. Only the Western Barbarians can enter the royal city."

"In addition, thousands of troops are mostly scattered outside the island, some are going east to suppress tribal villages, some are supervising logging, and some are guarding against river passes, which consumes a large amount of their troops."

"Now the Western Yi sent two thousand troops to attack Daimao Port was blocked by Shao Qianhu. Where did the Western Yi use these two thousand troops from?"

Chen Mu pressed his hand on the topographic map and glanced at the generals.

Deng Zilong said supremely: "Shief Chen means taking this opportunity to capture Manila. If this force is transferred from Manila, the city will be empty at this time; if it is not transferred from Manila, there will be insufficient reinforcements; unless they transfer troops from outside Luzon, this is a good time to capture Manila."

That's what it means!

"Dropping ten two-jin cannons from the small shark boat that I don't use for the time being. General Deng, I need you to lead the rest of the fleet out of the bay and travel south forty to 60 miles. If beacon fires near the coast before evening, it means that the war is victorious. If there are still no beacon fires the next day, withdraw to Banshilan City; then two beacon fires will go forward thirty miles, thirty miles, and 450 miles; one beacon fire is the anchor."

"Until three hundred miles away, there is a small bay. You can drive the boat at noon and enter Manila Bay at night. However, the march on the road is slow and far away. I have to wait for me one to three days. If there is no land, you need to attack Manila at sea. I should overcome all difficulties and arrive. I will only attack Manila from the periphery and create momentum, and will not attack the streets in the city."

"You need to take this opportunity to sink or capture all the enemy ships in Manila Bay - Chief Lin!" Chen Mu said, turning his gaze to Lin Feng and said, "You have two thousand subordinates, lead them to travel south with General Deng. If I don't show up, I will attack Manila with General Deng. If there is no problem with siege on land, you will lead the fleet around Luzon Island, and here it goes."

Chen Mu pointed to the narrow zone named Lucena by the Spaniards in the southeast of Luzon and said, "After landing, seize this town, it is the place where southeast of Luzon and the rest of the islands will support Manila by land. I need you to ambush all the enemies who try to pass through that, and not send a soldier or a soldier to go north."

Lin Afeng didn't expect that she was also classified as the main combat force. She picked up her fist and paused, and then she felt decisive and said, "I'm here to obey the order!"

Chen Mu nodded, glanced at the generals again, and put his doll on his head and said, "Everyone, come with me to take Manila."

When the cannons were removed from the ship and replaced them with the cannon cart, Chen Lin's camp soldiers took down a Westerner on the small boat from Chen Lai Island and pushed and shoved to Chen Mu's camp to go to the camp where he was ready to go. After the soldiers saluted, they were about to say something, but Chen Mu stopped them.

Chen Mu looked at the Portuguese Pinto and asked in surprise: "Mr. Pinto, why are you here to Luzon if you are not in Haojing?"

The Portuguese exaggerated school writer Pingto raised his finger and pushed his glasses. After taking off his hat, he said nervously: "General Chen, your departure is too confidential, which made me miss the opportunity. I hired a merchant ship to arrive in Luzon and was captured by another General Chen. The southern expedition of the Ming Dynasty was a big event, and I hope to get the opportunity to follow the general and experience the war. As you can see, although I am old, I am still an adventurer. Regardless of victory or defeat, this is a great war, and someone should record it."

"No matter whether you win or lose? I will only win."

Chen Mu chuckled, shook his head slowly, and said, "I'll give you another moment to consider. If you decide to follow me, you can't leave from now to the next ten years. Your works can only be published in ten years. When you want to escape, you will be killed. Due to your age, you may not be able to leave before your death."

"If you still want to join, I will leave you a seat in my staff and give you a monthly salary."
