Even though Zheng Song, the largest powerful minister of the Li Dynasty, was not in the peace, the guards had their own thoughts about the Ming army coming to aid, and tried their best to inquire about Chen Mu's army's strength. They did not clearly find out the strength of Chen Mu's troops, but instead asked Du Song, who was sent by Chen Mu, to find out their strength.

The letters sent back in the early morning seized moral highs everywhere, and they chose nice words, but they also expressed their meaning very clearly.

The Ming army came to "correct the name and distinguish the misunderstanding". They were eagerly looking forward to Chen Mu's troops, but they did not want the Ming army to occupy the land.

The letter made Chen Mu laugh and said to Zhang Shijue with a smile: "Can Chen say this himself, can they say this?"

In any case, later Li had an army of 30,000 in Nye'an, while Ruan Juan had only 20,000. Later, Li had the advantage of the troops on paper, but the situation was obviously that Ruan Juan had every attack and plundered all directions.

"The letter said that Ruan Juan had already encountered a battle with them, killed hundreds of them, captured the general Hongjun Duke of the Ng'an in battle, and scared the Later Li army to death. General Pan Gongji and Zheng Mo had no other choice but to set up a village near Ng'an to resist the enemy."

"Three days later, Pan Gongji led his army to Ruan Juan again. I will lead the family flag army to attack its flanks. You can take the thousand troops and artillery teams to protect my retreat." Chen Mu took a deep breath and vomited heavily, saying: "If they are beaten by Ruan Juan, they are afraid that they will not dare to pursue them, you will be my palace army."

Zhang Shijue responded with his fists and said, "Two thousand, Ruan Juan has 20,000 people and horses. Besides, Annan has experienced many chaos, is it that his troops are a little less?"

"Shao, of course!" Chen Mu chuckled and said, "Chen hopes to force his troops to attack him with 200,000. Isn't this a total of 4,000 soldiers in his hand? He also has to leave 800 generals to watch the ship and get cannons. He really can't free up more troops."

"There are heavy artillery warships and heavy artillery along the coast. Five miles away from the coast are my territory. If you are in Qili, I am just leading troops to travel three miles to meet the enemy." Chen Mu looked west and said, "The victory or defeat of this battle is not with me, but with Li General Pan Gongji. As long as he dares to fight, he can win this battle."

"As long as Ruan Juan is not a blind cat who meets a dead mouse, he stands up to meet me, and he will not be afraid of 5,000 soldiers on his side, even if he is facing all his backs. What's there to be afraid of in the five thousand soldiers?"

Sailor Gong said this to him, and he waved his hand and said, "Send a fleet to inform General Deng of the war here. If the enemy defeats the enemy, please be prepared; by the way, if you can find General Lin, say it."

As Chen Mu believed, for the disputes between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Ng'an and Tongzhou were all in the rear, and the truly fierce front was between Qinghua and Shenglong, killing life and death.

Ruan Juan dared to lead troops deep into the hinterland of the Li Dynasty, and threatened Yi'an with less and less, so he must be able to do so.

Facing such an enemy, it is not an exaggeration to be cautious.

In the past three days, the flag army had almost mapped the surrounding terrain clearly by taking advantage of the sea ships. It was not detailed, but the general terrain was already clear.

Ng An has a mountain range that extends northwest to the southeast for more than 30 miles, and is named Qishan. The foot of the mountain is located in the northwest of Fucheng. There is also a mountain range that also runs toward more than 20 miles north of Fucheng. The foot of the mountain is directly connected to the sea. The two mountain ranges form the narrowest canyon in the northwest of Ng An.

The Northern Dynasty General Ruan Juan's 20,000 troops camp fell in the valley, guarding the city of Ng'an to Tongzhou, the widest important road on the Qinghua line, and cutting off traffic.

Before the war began, Chen Mu led Zhang Shijue, Du Song and other light cavalry to climb the North Mountain in the middle of the North Mountain in Nye An, looking at the surrounding terrain. He also understood why Pan Gongji's army of 30,000 could not defeat Ruan Juan's 20,000 troops.

They were blocked. If they wanted to beat Ruan Juan, they would either go around the difficult valley path under his feet, which was slowly passing by only the remaining small army, and traveled for more than 30 miles to attack Ruan Juan's back; or they could only fight with Ruan Juan in Qishan Valley.

Such a geographical advantage was taken away by Ruan Juan, and in the end, only Ruan Juan beat them, but no one attacked Ruan Juan.

Fights also occurred while climbing the mountain. Ruan Juan did not set up a large army in the Beishan Canyon, leaving only a few scouts to guard the canyon. They found Chen Mu and his party. Chen Mu also discovered them. Zhang Shijue Du Song and others led their bows to shoot them, and they also injured two servants.

Zhang Shijue said: "The Northern Dynasty's Scout Ruan Juanliu is here. He should be the one who robs and kills the person who sends the letter. He is definitely not worried about the army passing through this. We will only be able to pass the canyon after sending troops soon tomorrow."

Chen Mu nodded and smiled, "He probably hoped that Pan Gongji and others would lead their troops into the valley. There was no need to worry about the number of soldiers. If there were too many soldiers, the city would be empty. He could take advantage of the situation to occupy the city - success or failure will be tomorrow, and we will pull up the cannon tonight."

"The left and right of Beishan Canyon is guarded by your army, and this life and death path is protected by Chen!"

The next day, the sea fog was filled with grimace in the morning.

The fog was beneficial to them. The three thousand flag troops entered the canyon, and on the west side of the northern mountain, there were thirty-three Chenbu artillery cannons, just waiting for the war to begin.

The morning mist had not dissipated, and less than 200 steps could be seen around him. The sound of military soldiers and infantry came from the right side of the mountain, which changed Chen Mu's color. He ordered the flag army to guard the other side to silence the army.

That direction was Ruan Juan Camp. It is unknown whether the Nian Army sent troops to Chen Mu, but what he could be sure of was that Ruan Juan Army had moved!

This made Chen Mu suspect that someone in the city of Ng'an was afraid that someone would leak the news.

However, Ruan Juanjun’s target was not him.

At the second moment of the beginning of Chen, the sun rose and the sea mist had just dissipated. Chen Mu's telescope was filled with stern scene.

As agreed, Pan Gongji borrowed the sea fog in the morning and led his army out of Fucheng to divide into three groups and gained a favorable position. At this time, he held four or five thousand soldiers in the east of Qi Shandong. There were infantry and cavalry battle formations standing in the fields near the northeast of Fucheng, and the army was equipped with nearly 1,000 troops.

From a distance, there were ten battle elephants in the central army standing in front of the army, and there seemed to be small cannons on the giant saddle. The battle elephants were waving flags on the left and right, and the sea fog dissipated and drums and music sounded!

Obviously, Pan Gongji brought out his family's assets, and riots broke out immediately after their military formation.

The sea fog dissipated and the situation at the foot of the North Mountain was not the shock of the Ruan Juan camp in the valley they imagined, but the neatly arranged soldiers of the Northern Dynasty, divided into four formations, one group of three thousand, and one group of 12,000 soldiers stood on the North Mountain. The same moment when they discovered each other only brought a brief panic to the Ruan Juan army.

Immediately afterwards, the military music resounded throughout the field. The two armies chose to set up their formations on this day, with more than ten miles apart, and neither of them took the lead in dispatching troops.

Compared with the Southern Dynasties, the military preparations of the Northern Dynasties under Ruan Juan's troops were more powerful. Although Ruan Juan did not have elephant soldiers, nearly half of them were armoured, and each formation had muskets, bows and crossbows, and long soldiers, spears, boring handles, axes, halberds, even painted halberds.

Chen Mu also found that each of the four formations had five small cannons placed on wooden frames.

What shape is too far away and it doesn't look real, but it looks like it's either a Francisco or a sensation.

Chen Mu understood, he really didn't have to worry about not knowing the Annan Kingdom's ordnance. What the Ming army used twenty or thirty years ago, so what they used was nothing more than fewer cutting-edge firearms and more complicated cold weapons.

Ruan Juan's army released generals and pegasms running in front of the formation. There were super-powered people with double-wielding sabers, and there were also Little Wen Hou of Vietnam who waved Fang Tian's painting halberd, which looked like he was calling.

Chen Mu was stunned.

The most amazing thing is that Pan Gongji sent several cavalry to meet him with swords, axes and horses.

Seeing this, Sai Du Gong, who was watching the game leisurely with a telescope on the mountain, widened his eyes and handed it to Du Song and said, "I have seen too many people in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I have never seen anyone fighting like this in the Ming Dynasty!"
