Mr. Chen was assigned a good job, and Bai Yuanjie ordered him to guard the riverside west of Xinjiang Bridge. There was no chance to fight with the enemy in this place.

It is not right to insist on saying that there is no one. At least when the enemy attacks the bridge, they can use crossbows and bird guns to shoot with the enemy on the other side, but no one can hit anyone.

With the lesson of being defeated and losing generals when he first attacked, Li Yayuan's offensive against Xinjiangqiao became very cautious. He only tried to attack twice in a row for half a month, and was repelled by Deng Zilong's camp soldiers.

Although the firearms of Deng Zilong's camp soldiers are not as strong as Chen Mu's firearms, whether they are cannons, bird guns, or rockets, these camp soldiers are much more ruthless than Chen Mu's flag army when they fight rebels.

Everything has its own regulations. The enemy has nearly 200 steps and the longbows are fired volleys; the enemy has nearly 100 steps and the crossbows are fired; when the enemy has nearly 50 steps, the gunman comes forward; when the enemy has nearly 30 steps, Deng Zilong takes his own arrow and moves forward, and fires a gun first, followed by a fire of fire and a bird gun.

After a volley, the smoke filled the guns, and the quick gunman stuffed the gun head into the gun barrel. Deng Zilong swung his long sword and rushed up directly. The musket was used as a short hammer and the quick gun was used as a spear. Hundreds of battalions of soldiers killed and shouted, and forced thousands of enemy troops who attacked Xinjiang Bridge back to the foot of the mountain.

twice.

Chen Mu had never seen such a fierce person. As the general leader, he took the lead in charge, and forced the rebels from beginning to end to defeat. He rushed into the formation and walked out alive, except that the knife in his hand might be replaced with another weapon, there was no change at all.

In the two battles, they personally killed twenty-six people, boosting their morale until they repelled the enemy and won the victory.

Deng Zilong, who was not rude at all but claimed to be rough, used two charges to let Chen Mu understand where he was rough!

Compared to him, Chen Mu was just making fun of the battle.

Mr. Chen, on the bank of Xinjiangxi, tasted the sweetness of strict military law. Later, he learned that the hurdle he had overcome on Xinjiang Bridge that day was actually the only way for every outstanding general in this era to take charge of the army. People called punishments as power and rewards as trust.

Only when rewards and punishments are fully trustworthy can the general be truly qualified to command an army.

This is not difficult for Chen Mu to understand, and it is mutually verified with the relatively mature management incentive theory in later generations. Reward is the positive reinforcement in strengthening theory, and punishment is the negative reinforcement in strengthening theory.

On Xinjiang Bridge, executing fugitive soldiers who are afraid to fight and reward money for profit is undoubtedly the most direct and most effective way of negative reinforcement and positive reinforcement.

After that, Chen Mu could clearly feel that, whether it was the flag army or the village warrior, he followed his advice and not only ordered him, but even if he said casually, his subordinates did not dare to be lazy at all. The effect of strengthening was much greater than that of using the queue command for more than a month.

Although the three battles caused the rebels to suffer more than a thousand casualties in Xinjiang Bridge, this was just a drop in the bucket for Li Yayuan's huge military strength. The long-term confrontation and continuous victory did not make the defenders feel excited, but their morale became increasingly sluggish.

The price of Deng Zilong's fierce rushing was that the battalion soldiers were killed or injured and lost nearly one-quarter of their troops; and the experienced flag army under Chen Mu also suffered nearly half of the losses. Although there were many newly formed village warriors, they were far inferior to the flag army, whether they practiced battle formations or weapons skills.

The huge number of enemies, the injured and injured friendly forces, the long-term thoughts of returning home and the gradually bulging waist bags gradually destroyed their high morale.

"General Yu's reinforcements have not arrived yet."

In early June, Chen Muzhang heard Bai Yuanjie say this in the central army tent, and the next moment, a whimpering sound of horns came from outside the tent, and the rumbling drums roared, causing several people to run out of the tent.

On the other side of Xinjiang Bridge, the rebels once again gathered thousands of troops and wanted to get off Xinjiang Bridge again.

Now it is the turn of Wu Duan's subordinates to join the rebels to guard the rebels. Wu Duan held his waist and looked up at the bridge, saying to Bai Yuanjie, Deng Zilong, Chen Mu and others: "It is not a single thousand people. Deng Ba Zong and Chen Qi can stop them. Wu's kid is not bad. Shiqiao is enough to defeat them!"

"Don't worry too much, just go back to the account to rest. Within half an hour, the good news of the defeat will be heard!"

As he said that, Wu Duan walked towards Xinjiang Bridge with great strides, judging by the posture, he wanted to supervise the battle himself. Now the guardian of Xinjiang Bridge is Wang Shiqiao, the subordinate of Wu Duan, who was the first to follow Wu Duan, and he had some courageous style.

As for what he said that the good news was sent back in half an hour, it was not a false statement. Although the Wu Duan army was a bandit rebel, its strength was not weak, especially the number of bird guns could almost reach the proportion of the Ming army. More than 2,000 people were carrying hundreds of bird guns, which was very majestic.

"Thousands of households, my subordinates see that the rebels are quite poor, why are there so many weapons in Wu Duan?"

Chen Mu asked Bai Yuanjie, but Bai Yuanjie didn't know anything. Deng Zilong, who was beside him, knew something, looked at Wu Duan's back and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this bandit."

"Before surrendering General Yu, he had tens of thousands of troops to cause trouble for Huizhou, and he committed all kinds of evil to attack the county town, and obtained a lot of silver. When General Qi attacked the Japanese, he was afraid that he would be attacked by the enemy and the imperial soldiers, so he sent someone to send 200 taels of silver to the Japanese pirates." When talking about this amount, Deng Zilong shook his head and was obviously envious. He paused and continued: "That Japanese pirate was defeated later. How could he survive when he came here? It was the Japanese people in his hands."

"He sent someone to Haojing to buy those firearms from Hongmao Fan. After joining General Yu, he reduced his subordinates to 3,600, each of which was strong. Although he did not have a battle formation, he had strong combat power. Chen Qi, you should go to the riverside to take care of the artillery team. If the cannon is stolen by him, we can't stop him by just the seven or eight hundred people."

The six cannons that can be used now, one hundred tigers running together and the other rockets are all used by Chen Mu's country heroes. If Wu Duan has bad intentions and robs the cannons, they will have to run away. I'm afraid that Xinjiang Town will not be able to defend them.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu quickly responded to the order, said hello to Bai Yuanjie and Deng Zilong, and then took Wei Balang to the riverside.

Before halfway, the battle was already on the bridge. After Wu Duan's brave and stupid Japanese pirates jumped out of the battle. They were also stupid in their strong combat power. Most of them were drowned in the crowd after getting some advantage.

However, the bird gun team under Wu Duan's troops fired a lot of people in the first round of the battle, and the results were remarkable.

Unlike the bloody battle on the bridge, Chen Zongqi's position was a different situation. The bowl-mouth cannon was 100% metaphysics for Shao Tingda, who only knew how to dance the sword and slapped the shield. When Chen Mu came over, this stupid guy was kneeling on the ground with a torch and kowtowed to the bowl-mouth cannon.

He also muttered a word, "On one side, Japanese pirates, and rebels, and the gods from all directions bless me, let me kill all one shot, and the world will be peaceful and the world will be peaceful!"

boom!

Chen Mu didn't even have time to say that Shao Shazi took half of the muzzle buried in the soil and faced the bowl-mouth gun on the other side to attack the Japanese pirates on the bridge, and he dreamed that it was quite beautiful!

The sound of cannons fell, and the sound of snails suddenly sounded on the river east of Xinjiang Bridge, which immediately made Chen Mu frightened and turned over. There were groups of fleets stagnant in the distance on the river that had been stagnant for more than a month, moving!
