In Guteng County, Qinghua Prefecture, the sea breeze is sensational in the morning, and it is tide-like and bone-like.

The sound of thunder and tsunami-like cannons exploded along the coast, shattering the bridge from the east of the county to Tongning County, and then a huge fleet of ships gathered from all over the coast were lined up in the shallow seas and bombarded alternately towards Muzhai on the shore.

Chen Mu, who was standing on the side of the boat, had one word in his heart: Hurry!

Time is not money, but time can be silver, good materials, beautiful wood, and cotton cloth. The sooner the clearing is restored, the sooner the Shenglong can be captured.

He knew very well what the imperial court decided to enter Annan for the three sides of the army.

The shells bombarded the left and right of the military camp. In the telescope, the military camp was in chaos everywhere, and soldiers were running around with weapons.

This was the lesson Deng Zilong left to them. Before Chen Mu's fleet came, the earliest military camp of the Northern Dynasty was placed near the beach and was bombarded by Deng Zilong's fleet. Later, the military camps were retreated three miles away.

This distance is still within the range of the heavy artillery of the warship, but it is difficult to hit accurately, even if Chen Mu takes action personally.

Guteng County is separated by two rivers, and is only ten miles wide from north to south, east to west. It is connected by two bridges to the northwest Qinghua Prefecture and Tongning County, like a small island.

Although the island is small, Chenbu garrisons thousands of troops, because it is an important fulcrum for besieging Qinghua Prefecture City. The collapsed Dongqiao River is deep and the river to the west is very shallow, so even war horses can swim over.

Shao Tingda suggested that after repelling the Guteng County garrison, he would set up formations along the rivers on the west bank, guard the enemy on the bridge, and fire the enemy with artillery.

The bombardment of the ship was not stopped. The two thousand flag troops of the military guards landed on the shore in an orderly manner by boat. They did not make other plans to form formations immediately. Another boatman rowed the boat back to meet the subsequent troops of Shao Tingda's troops.

The Rangchuang did not forget to abandon his special skills. The only one in the Nanyang Guard was equipped with a knife player in the flag army, and used swords and axes to fight against round shields. This was the best choice for the rushing team.

This is the shortcomings of Chen Mu's military guards. Although their firepower is strong, the most serious thing is that they cannot conflict. Even if they pursue, they must stabilize their formation and press forward, and they wish they would not fight with the enemy from beginning to end.

After all, thirty steps outside is the time for their best combat power. Within thirty steps, they can't find a living person even if they want to fight.

The spear formation and shield hand can block the enemy, but it may not be able to stop the war elephant in the enemy's hands. He needs a square formation standing in front of the military guards.

"There is no war elephant in this battle. If there are war elephants, if the artillery team can kill the enemy's war elephant, the enemy will definitely follow the war elephant and attack near. You must lead the strong soldiers to stop the rush."

"If the artillery team fails to kill the battle elephant, we can only use the old and dangerous method."

As the military formation gathered, Chen Mu pointed to the military camp where the gap was bombarded by the ship in the distance and said, "The suicide squad will cut off the elephant trunk, let them go crazy, and then run quickly and let them step on the formation."

Although this possibility is very small, Chen Mu had to be cautious. He shouted: "This battle may be recorded in history. I don't want to bear the name of the target soldier's failure in combat, so that the flag army will be careful."

The war elephants roamed all over the world, but the Central Plains dynasty rarely made mistakes in fighting the war elephants.

The recent ones are like the Northern Song Dynasty bed crossbow sweeping the Southern Tang elephant formation, Chen Mu did not want his elite soldiers to fail in front of the war elephant.

Shao Tingda nodded heavily and clasped his fists, gritted his teeth and left to prepare for his sword and axe driver. His flag army was also equipped with spears and bird guns, but there were more sword and shield drivers.

When the flag army was ready, the artillery fire stopped. The flag army divided into five posts to attack forward. The enemy also showed signs everywhere in the camp, preparing with strong bows and crossbows and muskets. On the other side of the river, enemy troops from Qinghua Prefecture had arrived to rescue.

Among those troops rushing for assistance, there were huge figures of war elephants faintly.

陈沐没理他们,军阵前行,邵廷达刀斧手当前披荆斩棘,在灌木丛生的海滩林间砍出一条通路供旗军通过,旁边被人踩出的小道则交给炮队行进,兵马直扑营寨.

"I dare not fight or escape to Qinghua. I have made up my mind to defend myself." Chen Mu looked at the enemy camps getting closer and closer, drove away the artillery team and said, "Hurry up, set up a formation before the enemy reinforcements arrive!"

The reinforcements were still more than ten miles away from Guteng County. Chen Mu, who entered the forest road, could not see that, or even his subordinates who were advancing in the forest, and he was uneasy.

Fortunately, the road in the forest was not long, and there were baggage soldiers in front of them to pave the road on the difficult road. The speed of travel was not slow. In just a moment, I passed the road and reached the outskirts of Guteng County.

这个县如果放在广东,就是一个都,陈沐在香山时去黄粱都剿匪都比这来得大,所以同样这也没有城池,县治所不过就是一座大营寨模样,如今为应对他们的突袭,在治所左右又增筑营寨两座.

After leaving the forest path, the fields are only five or six hundred steps away from the nearest camp, and the fields are muddy, which is not conducive to the movement of the army.

Chen Mu's artillery team did not plunge into the fields. The two teams of thirty artillery were intertwined, with the guns facing northwest. At this time, the reinforcements of Qinghua had crossed the river and rushed towards this side. The enemy troops in several camps were also ready to move.

When reinforcements arrive, they are likely to suddenly emerge.

不远处,邵廷达带兵猛地自林间冲出,左右张望,目光定在数里之外的北朝援军后并无慌张,反倒轻松地笑了,对左右传令耳语几句,带兵朝陈沐右翼面向古滕县治所营寨的方向奔去.

The commander ran over Tianlong quickly and said to Chen Mu: "Report to the Grand Commander, General Shao said that the enemy was moving in a hurry and was already tired from coming. He should give him a blow."

Chen Mu nodded and smiled. The artillery team was still facing there, and asked the order to report: "Let General Shao's army squatted cannons to attack the camp first, so that they can hurry."

On the other side of the forest, his flag army was still slowly escaping and setting up formations in the fields. Zhang Shijue knew very well that they would not take on the mission of pursuing, and the mud in the fields could give them a better advantage in blocking the enemy's charge.

Although the army's guards have become an army, he has never seen anyone dare to charge towards the army's guards' flag army-he is looking forward to it.

Chen Mu's army was in a scattered state. Seeing that he had shortage of new troops in the camps in Guteng County, hundreds of sergeants even rushed towards Shao Tingda's army under the leadership of the generals. They set up more than 300 steps to shoot arrows with more than 100 large bows.

与此同时,城中碗口炮,佛朗机等火炮纷纷朝邵廷达部轰开,间隔五百余步已经超过碗口炮与小佛朗机的射程,唯有他们仿造的将军炮才能伤到邵廷达部下.

However, their general artillery had very few general artillery. More than ten artillery types were fired, and only one shell fell before Shao Tingda's troops, which was worse than the rain of arrows fired in scattered orders.

Although most of the feather arrows were blocked by shields, sporadic feather arrows still fell on the armorless shoulders of the flag army, bringing a few screams to the military formation.
