Chapter 47 Wu Duan

Weng Yuan, Chang'an Township.

Even Bai Yuanjie did not expect that they were sent to fight by Yu Dayou and were in the forefront!

Perhaps because of the reason for that telescope, Yu Dayou sent Bai Yuanjie as the vanguard to lead the general of the Manliao Camp in its headquarters, and was in Chang'an Township. He supervised Yu Dayou's army to attack Xiaxinjiang Town, Chang'an Township, Wengyuan County.

Chen Mu was stunned for a long time when he heard Bai Yuanjie say this order. In his thoughts, it was not their turn to supervise Yu Dayou's army, but when he was rushing to the river for two hours, he stopped along the river and joined the front army in the middle and lower reaches of the river, he understood.

It was already noon after Bai Yuanjie and Chen Mu received the order. When the ship was stopped on the river bank, it was getting darker. Not long after walking with the mailbani leading the way, they gathered with the army supervisor. It was said that it was a general from Guangdong, with more than 400 troops under his command, and they were supervising the army with them.

This army was faster than theirs by land. Now they have set up tents to lay wooden tiles and bury pots to make rice and wait for them.

In the camp, Chen Mu, who followed Bai Yuanjie to the central army tent, saw the cannons of this era for the first time. At the entrance of the Muliyuan where more than 400 battalions were stationed, two cannons with nearly two meters of gun body were set up. When Chen Mu passed by, several fire soldiers were taking out a piece of foot-long gun barrel from the barrel chamber that opened in the middle and rear, and wiped the cannon body with a long wooden pole tied with a cloth.

Bai Yuanjie said that it was called the Fran machine cannon. Most of the guards called this the mother-child cannon. It was retrieved and copied after winning the battle with the Red-Hai Fan for many years. This kind of cannon fires very fast, but I don’t know why it’s not far away. It usually can only hit five or six hundred steps. Even the best-cast Fran machine can only hit three miles.

Chen Mu only took a look and knew why this was because the Fran machine cannon used for quick replacement of sub-cannons is not airtight, and the power of the explosion after igniting the gunpowder cannot be concentrated and the range will naturally be far away.

Apart from these two cannons, the entire camp was nothing surprising in Chen Mu's eyes. The equipment rate of bird guns was not high. He only saw more than a dozen shots, and more were muskets and quick guns like long guns. In fact, the quick gun was pulled out and the gun head was a firearm. The gun head was similar to the bayonet, but it was similar to the loading of the musket, which was not as convenient as the bird gun.

The firearms are about one-fifth to one-third of the battalion soldiers, and the rest are traditional cold weapons such as big swords and spears.

Outside the military tent, the battalion general welcomed Bai Yuanjie personally to show respect. Unexpectedly, the general was an intermediate military officer who was in his thirties and older than Bai Yuanjie. He had a standard national character face and was very heroic. Under the standard armor, he could see his strong body. When Bai Yuanjie and others approached, he stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "I have met Bai Qianhu in Guangdong general Deng Zilong."

In terms of official rank, Bai Yuanjie's deputy thousand households are half a rank higher than Deng Zilong's general. However, military officers are already so difficult under the suppression of civil servants. They usually do not pay attention to these common etiquettes, but they are all for meritorious deeds. They do not have as many factions as civil servants. Bai Yuanjie smiled and returned the gift, bringing Chen Mu and other entourages into the account.

After reaching the tent, Chen Muli stood in Bai Yuanjie's seat, and his mind was still struggling to think about who Deng Zilong was? He thought the name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember what kind of merits it had. He only knew that Deng Zilong later participated in the Battle of Wanli Aid Korea.

"At the time when the Japanese pirates were in trouble, they were recruited to kill the thieves. I have only read some books in recent years. It is not as good as Qianhu's family's origins. Deng was very vulgar and stopped polite with Bai Qianhu. In the war, I will eat and chat."

The soldiers brought up some ordinary meals that were going out on the expedition, just filling their stomachs. Deng Zilong pulled away the marching map behind him and introduced to Bai Yuanjie straight to the point: "In this battle, the general ordered our army supervisors to attack Xinjiang Town. The north of Xinjiang Town is surrounded by rivers, and it is narrow and long valleys, surrounded by high mountains and steep peaks, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack."

major!

Chen Mu looked at Deng Zilong with the shoddy grass line marching pictures behind him and told the situation out of the situation, and he only had the idea of ​​"professional". This is a ruthless man who has seen many battles. Deng Zilong previously said that he was recruiting the army to kill thieves, which means that he actually killed the general official position, which means that he had fought many tough battles and had the death toll today. This is very powerful.

"Today, the scouts have discovered that the north and south valleys outside the town are occupied by enemy enemies. There are arrow tower posts forming a mountain village, which serves as a corner face to defend the west; the town is in the middle of the river valley, and the bandits drove the people in the town to run east and set off a group of thousands of chaotic troops to guard the place. The general ordered our supervisors to break the town in order to seize the estuary of Wengyuan and Heyuan in Xinjiang Town, so that the army could defeat Yelodan in the south, and then join forces to attack Li Yayuan north."

Bai Yuanjie nodded and signaled Deng Zilong to continue speaking. Chen Mu listened quietly behind him, secretly calculating the difficulty of achieving this mission. He couldn't help but admire the strong heart of Qianhu and Guangdong who were not surprised by the facts. Is this a man doing this? He has discovered that thousands of chaotic troops, and what are the two big brothers who each lead about 400 people here?

Then Deng Zilong said: "It is not difficult to defeat them. It is difficult to make the front army attack without rebelling, and it is also difficult to defend the enemy attack on the other side of the river after capturing Xinjiang Town."

"The front army will rebel..." Bai Yuanjie was able to grasp the key points in Deng Zilong's words better than Chen Mu, pushed the table and the rice bowl backwards, and asked, "Which army are they under General Yu's army?"

"Look at Deng, I forgot to say that the front army had more than 3,000 soldiers and generals stationed at the mouth of Dongwulixi. They were not guards, nor camp soldiers, but Japanese pirates and barbarians." Deng Zilong tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Wu Duan, the leader of the barbarian soldiers in Huizhou, was defeated seven times when General Yu was attacking the Japanese pirates in Guangdong, and then surrendered himself and was under General Yu's subordinates. It was because of this that the general sent Deng and Qianhu to lead troops to supervise the army, but he was worried that Wu Duan would lead the army and defeat General Yu's major event to pacify Weng Yuan."

Bai Yuanjie took a breath, and Chen Mu did not expect that their friendly troops were actually a group of Japanese pirates with more than 3,000 people, but they could not speak. The already difficult situation became even more difficult in the blink of an eye.

If they were not careful, these more than 3,000 Japanese pirates turned against each other, they would use less than a thousand troops to fight against nearly ten thousand enemy troops composed of Japanese pirates, barbarians, miners, salt disciples, and peasants.

This basically means that a battle will see all the rebellious forces of the Ming Dynasty except the Hulu, but Chen Mu dared not imagine the consequences.

At this moment, a battalion soldiers entered the tent and reported, saying, "Chief, the former army is here."

As he spoke, someone lifted the curtain, had a big Japanese bag on his head, a leader wearing a cloth robe and a silverware on his waist stepped into the tent, his rebellious eyes looked around the tent with a clear contempt, and said with a smile: "One general, the other deputy, the thousand households, General Yu sent you to control him. He really looked down on me, Mr. Wu!"
