Chen Mu's first battle went smoothly and led his troops to the Yanzhou journey along the almost parallel sea along the route of Ruan Juan's retreat.

On the ship, Bai Yuanjie's subordinates sent news that Yu Dayou's troops left Zhennan Pass and fought with the Mo family in the Lang Son area.

The Ming army leaving Zhennan Pass was stuck at the gateway east of Shenglong and could not make any progress. Mo Chao's soldiers rely on their familiar geography. Instead, they did not surrender, but instead fought several battles after the successful ambush of Yu Dayou.

The war report said it was a big war, but the actual situation was not a big war in Chen Mu's opinion. The Mo family sent troops northwards without knowing the size, but the force was not too many, and the exact force that was implemented to fight between the two sides was even smaller.

The battles occurred seven times in half a month, all of which were small battles between hundreds of men and even thousands of troops.

The casualties were even fewer. The Ming army had seven battles together, and there were only more than 200 casualties. The Mo family soldiers and generals were almost the same, and they were almost evenly matched.

The Ming army had a little more armored cannons, while the Mo family was more familiar with the terrain and was not much worse in terms of battle results.

The biggest reason for the limitation of the results of the battle is that the terrain in that area is too dangerous and not enough to fight.

"The south of Annan country is high in the west and low in the east. There are mountains and ridges in the north of Shenglong. Langshan is a key place. If you capture Langshan, Shenglong can be decided." Chen Mu discussed matters with the generals on the left and right in the cabin of the Chihai ship, pointing to the tea case letter and saying: "Sir Yu wants me to send a elite army to cut off the food route from the enemy's rear."

"Ship Yu originally wanted to let Bai Shuai send a ship. He sent Deng Quan to lead the army to cross it, but Bai Shuai meant to use our troops."

A long-standing country must have natural dangers on its borders, and the same is true for Annan. To the west and north, there are mountains as natural barriers, and the richest Shenglong Plain principle is firmly protected.

But like the Central Plains, its long coastline is its biggest weakness.

Chen Muneng saw from the letter that Old Shuai Yu's combat ideas have also changed. If he wants to put them over, he must divide his troops and five sentries to break the mountain village. This is Yu Dayou's usual tactic of suppressing bandits in Guangdong and Guangxi, and it is very powerful.

This time, he chose a simpler tactic, transporting troops by sea, and attacking the enemy's rear.

"I'll go!"

"Master, why not send me!"

As soon as Chen Mu said this, all Shao Tingda, Lou Qimai, Huang Dexiang and others who were originally under Deng Zilong asked for a fight. Deng Zilong smiled and said to the generals: "Don't ask for a fight, you can't take this battle."

The generals were very puzzled, and Chen Mu raised his head and smiled, "What General Wuqiao said is not bad, you can't invite him. I honestly follow Chen to fight Qinghua. Someone invited him to this battle. Can this letter be left to you if it falls into Bai Shuai's hands?"

Everyone suddenly realized that, yes, there is still Bai Yuanjie who is anxious to fight in Qiongzhou Prefecture, and they are about to wait for white hair.

"Ship Bai has led the fleet to Xin'an Mansion to help Yu defeat Liangshan Mansion. You will follow Chen to clear the siege of Qinghua as soon as possible. After Yu defeated Liangshan, he would be not far from the army under Shenglong City."

Lang Sang Prefecture can be said to be a barrier to the east of Shenglong. With Lang Sang Prefecture there, Shenglong will be safe. Once Lang Sang is broken, it will only be a matter of time before Yu Dayou besieged Shenglong.

Of course, that is a regular style of fighting. If it were just as open and upright as Chen Mu said, his army should not have landed in Yi'an. He attacked directly from the mouth of Honghekou to the empty defense Shenglong, and the surrounding areas would be issued an edict.

Of course, such victory is not convincing, and there will be endless rebellions after that.

Therefore, the victory he pursues should not be a little pleasing, and he should be shocked, not just victory.

Seeing that the generals were wilted like frost-beaten eggplant, Deng Zilong chuckled, then curled his lips and said to Chen Mu: "Shishou Chen should talk about the Qinghua war. Mo Jingdian resisted stubbornly along the coast. Although our army suffered no losses, he could not land on the ground."

“Drifting on the sea is not a long-term solution.”

Deng Zilong was so powerful in Yanzhou. Ruan Juan fled north and gathered nearly 10,000 defeated troops. When he passed Yanzhou, he was chased and beaten by Deng Zilong. He defeated the defeated troops that had finally been gathered from the battlefield of Ng'an again.

If he hadn't dared to lead his army deep into the hinterland, Ruan Juan would have been unable to leave Yanzhou.

However, Lin Manjue's battle against the enemy in Qinghua was not good, and only the rest of the river was left, and there was no chance of attack.

The Annan people were not arrogant and arrogant Spanish. When they saw the Ming army, they did not dare to send a team of 100 people to run around the ground. Why did Chenbu camp be the best? Even if there were no troops in the camp several times, they would continue to support each other, making Lin Manjue unable to start.

Even if Deng Zilong led his fleet to the Qinghua coast, they were deployed on the shore. Before Chen Mu arrived, Deng Zilong dared not let his subordinates have too many casualties and wounded. He retreated twice because of the mutual support of the enemy troops around him.

"Mo Jingdian is a famous general of the Mo family, and is well-known and has been revealed in his battle with General Lin."

Chen Mu said this. In fact, Mo Jingdian and Lin Manjue did not fight each other, but they had obviously made a move. "He accurately confirmed that General Lin came from the sea and had not much baggage, so he did not fight. The Qinghua land was a strong wall and Qingye in the Southern Dynasty when he went south to attack, without food or village, and there was no benefit."

"But now Chen is here, holding more than 10,000 troops, and he can fight him hard. He relies on the large number of people and thinks we dare not do anything to him."

Deng Zilong immediately advised: "Master, the enemy has elephants on the shore, which is difficult to deal with."

Just kidding, what is Deng Zilong's personality? If it's easy to fight, it's Chen Mu's turn to come. He would have led his troops to rush ashore. "There are villages and forts on the shore, and our own army comes. Mo Jingdian has successively increased his troops. The more ships we ship, the more enemy troops, especially when Ruan Juan fled back, it is no less than 20,000 now."

"There are many guns and cannons in the past, although they are not as good as me, but the attack will cause too much casualties. Moreover, it is not difficult to get on the shore. The difficulty is to march northwest. Their elephants are walking on the flat ground in the difficult roads, and guns are difficult to hurt, so they can only attack in close combat."

Deng Zilong shook his head and said, "If you fire a gun only once when you get close, you may not be able to kill the elephant. If the elephant is not dead, the flag army will surely die. If the battle formation cannot be strictly enforced, it will collapse if it is dispersed."

This is a lesson learned from blood and tears.

Chen Mu also saw the majesty of war elephants in Nye'an, but the war elephants were not attacking his formation. He asked, "Where are you using cannons? Thirty cannons can be pulled out, and you can't kill the war elephants?"

Deng Zilong breathed a sigh and looked at Chen Mu with an extremely resentful look, saying, "That must be able to be accurate. The artillery that can be accurate in the entire army can be accurate in the battle elephant at 400 steps is only the military guards."

To put it bluntly, there are very few skilled artillery soldiers in the entire Nanyang. The old artillery soldiers of the Qianhu Institute of Xiangshan in the past have now become Chen Bazhi's subordinates. The remaining people who can shoot artillery are all martial artillery students. They are proficient in ballistics and are more powerful than veteran artillery soldiers who rely on skilled skills.

But these most precious people, not in other places, are all officers in the military guards.

"The military guards are elite field battles." Deng Zilong knew the combat power of these people, and he said: "Instead of using military guards to fight with the garrison on the shore, it is better to let the Xiagui army land from the southwest, and at most, it can take the first half of the moon to remove the troops along the way, and the same will be true for the army to land again at that time."
