"Mo Jingdian is unwilling to surrender, so we can only wait for reinforcements."

Chen Mu does need reinforcements because six days ago, Deng Zilong, who is good at observing the sky, reminded him that there may be heavy rainstorms coming recently.

The Nanshan Camp made full preparations to dig and build four rainproof trenches and artillery sheds, and at the same time, they asked for reinforcements from Liu Xian and Yu Dayou who were besieging Shenglong City.

Chen Mu has experience in fighting on rainy days. He knew that as long as the fortifications are complete on rainy days, his flag army can still have combat power far beyond others, but he knows his shortcomings in rainy days.

His flag army had already cleared the bow and crossbows and prepared for combat, not only sent these troops to the Annan battlefield, but also the entire Nanyang Army, without bows and crossbows.

Mo Jingdian was the opposite. They focused on bows and crossbows and cold soldiers, and lighted on fire guns and bird guns.

In Annan, the poor land, the difficulty of transportation of supplies brought by this heavy rain can still be overcome, but the shortcomings of his flag army that can only defend but not maneuver in the rain will be revealed.

And it is possible that Mo Jingdian knew better than Deng Zilong that the rain was coming.

Because the day after Deng Zilong reminded Chen Mu, before the rain had fallen, Lin Manjue, who was entrenched in the South Mountain, sent people to send an urgent message. Three thousands of Northern Dynasties soldiers were dispatched from the South Mountain to the north. One of them was defeated by Lin Manjue, and the other two broke through and walked north.

Then Chen Mu urgently dispatched Shao Tingda to the north, and only cut off one, and more than 2,000 enemy troops disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, four more enemy troops headed north. This time they were well-defended, and Lin Manjue could not succeed. The two sides fought at the foot of the mountain to win and lose each other. Then Lin Manjue retreated back to the mountain.

Chen Mu was worried that he would be transferred from the mountain and did not increase troops to the north again.

Now, the rain is coming.

"I can block the south of the mountain, but I can't block the north of the mountain. I will transfer Lin Manjue and Shao Tingda to retreat; Wuqiao, I will transfer the three thousand flag troops of Sulu to you, and replace the mountain road to the west of the defense camp with Zhang Shijue."

"The road is muddy, I don't know how many days will the reinforcements of Yu Shuai Liu Shuai be marched and are ready to defend the enemy."

In the Nanshan Camp, Chen Mu issued an order and lifted the curtain. The water vapor and coolness that came to his face poured into the tent. He put down the curtain with some worries and looked back: "A few light rains can be divided into a temporary victory and defeat, and the outcome of the war cannot be changed. The capital of the country was defeated, and Mo Jingdian was left to resist stubbornly!"

Deng Zilong held his fists and took the order, got up and walked out of the tent and walked into the heavy rain curtain.

The raindrops hit the tents quickly, making Chen Mu more irritable. This rain came at a bad time and caused a lot of trouble. Originally, he could have won the entire war with a little casualty, but this rain might make everything different.

"Let's go and patrol the baggage camp."

As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, Jun Song had already put his woven raincoat on his shoulders and stepped into the mud of the camp.

The more advanced the war situation, the more dependent they rely on baggage, just like the east and west armies of Nanshan and the east and west armies were in a confrontation. Mo Jingdian's army was ten times more numerous than Chen Mu's army, but their baggage transport was not much different.

The baggage camp is located near the sea in the rear army. In the rain, the baggage flag army lined up everywhere, dragging mules and horses to the mountain road position, and transported boxes of damp-bearing gunpowder back to ship to the cabin from a rough pier built.

In just half a day, Zhang Shijue, the front line, led the military guards to withdraw to the camp. The elite soldiers under Chen Mu are now in a very embarrassing manner, with insufficient preparations for the straw raincoat. Half of the flag troops were directly in the rain, and their bodies were wet. They were carrying bird guns rolled in oil cloth to retreat. They were deep and shallow in the mud, and even the queues were difficult to be neat.

Several large barracks were set up in the camp, which could shelter the wind and rain. The soldiers in the camp prepared hot salt and vegetable soup to keep warm and supplies for the flag army. Zhang Shijue arranged these tents and saw Chen Mu waiting outside the tent.

"Master."

Chen Mu nodded without saying anything, waved his hand and asked him into the camp. After sitting down, he asked: "How is the front line? I heard the cannons in the morning, Mo Jingdian attacked?"

"Few attack." Zhang Shijue sat down and saw that his hands were still covered with mud, he got up and went to the copper basin at the entrance of the tent to wash. He said while wiping his hands: "I shot twice, once, I was forced to retreat by the trench bird gun, and I used the Huihuan again."

After sitting back on the chair, Zhang Shijue said, "Mo Jingdian has a capable man in his hands."

"How about the casualties in Huihui cannon?" Chen Mu estimated that there would be no major casualties, otherwise Zhang Shijue would have sent someone to tell him the news, and then said: "How is the range?"

Zhang Shijue smiled and shook his head, "They made small, and the range was not far. They took about a hundred steps, and they set up thick wooden boards to push them to the front line, and they held a huge rock to smash my trench, but they couldn't hit it accurately."

"The stones thrown out were forty or fifty kilograms, just a hundred steps, and a few cannons were smashed at him in one volley." Zhang Shijue sighed: "Fortunately, I used the cannon shed, but I would have too many catapults in a few days, so it was really hard to deal with."

Chen Mu nodded slowly. If it were just like this, there would be nothing to be afraid of. He said, "Does Wuqiao know about this?"

"I know, before the defense was replaced, General Deng watched the battlefield and sent troops to remove all the stones on the road. He said that there were two ways for Mo Jingdian to come back. One was to smash the trenches, and the other was to use the stones thrown out as a bunker to get the army close to the trenches."

"The battle behind is not easy to fight, so let me ask the general for his orders. He should not withdraw his troops from the army at any time."

Chen Mu thought about it and nodded, "Yes, you are the same. It's best to be able to defend it. You don't have to fight to the death if you can't defend it. It's okay to retreat to the camp. There is only one thing, you can't be defeated and leave all the guns and cannons to Mo Jingdian."

"The two generals took Shenglong, and the overall situation of Annan has been decided. Reinforcements arrived to guard the previous few days. If they really couldn't defend, we would retreat to the sea. It would be okay to attack Yu and Liu Shuai again when they were fighting with him."

The time is not good, and even if Mo Jingdian cannot be stopped, Chen Mu does not think it is his subordinate's fault. They have made achievements that can attract the attention of the world and do not have to waste their lives here in vain.

Chen Mu encouraged Zhang Shijue a few more words and asked him to go back and properly place his soldiers, rest for two days before going to exchange defense with Deng Zilong, and then he got the Coast Flag Army to report the news.

He called the commanders to enter the tent, and the flag army was covered in mud, and it was obvious that it had fallen a lot on the road. Chen Mu took the letter and said, "Thank you for your hard work, there are hot water and vegetable soup in the barracks, and there will be others who will go down to have a good rest."

The messenger left with his fists. Chen Mu opened the envelope, looked at it for a moment, then stretched his eyebrows, and smiled at Zhang Shijue, "Mo Jingdian has no choice. The pressure on the front line will be greater in the next few days, but it will only be in these days."

As he said that, Chen Mu handed the letter to Zhang Shijue and said with a smile: "When Pan Gongji comes from his letter, he has led his army to Qinghua to join forces with Zheng Song of Qinghua to fight the northern expedition to attack Mo Jingdian."

"I don't like these two people. The Northern Expedition was too smart at this time, but I have to say that this was beneficial to Chen. Let the Chinese military officials make a manifesto. We once told Shenglong City Mo Jingdian was dead. That was a lie. This time we can tell the truth."
