Chapter 860
Mu Xianliang's suspicion grew, but he did not stop his soldiers from moving forward. He was already ready for a bloody battle, but who knew that he didn't even notice a single hair along the way, and the soldiers were also confused.
On several occasions, the artillery under his command had to fire the shells, but soon the reconnaissance soldiers sent a signal.
No one in the front stronghold was the same as the stronghold we encountered before. Now we are halfway there, and the battle I imagined in my heart did not appear at all.
"You guys are moving towards Haipang Port as fast as possible. After seeing the other party's stronghold on the road, they will investigate next to them. If there are soldiers, they will station in place. If there are no soldiers, they will leave someone to report to me, and the rest will continue to move forward."
Mu Xianliang could not adopt the original strategy, so this guy found more than a dozen capable soldiers riding horses and asked them to quickly go forward to investigate, so that we could not stay at every stronghold.
Seeing his soldiers leaving, Mu Xianliang's mood did not improve. He was also guessing what was going on, but no matter how he guessed, he could not have thought that this was the order given by the other general.
The soldiers below were also wondering, it was like a boxer who was ready, but he hit the air with one punch. This sense of loss made them feel uneasy. It would be better to just crush them. At least they knew how this victory came about. Now, can they defeat the other party just by walking like this? If this is the case, why bother the court to transport shells from the sea from afar? Let's continue walking south. When we reach the end of the southern sea, will Annan Kingdom be destroyed?
"Planning up your equipment and continuing to move forward, I know everyone has various questions in their minds, but now is not the time when we solve these questions. We are all in a big vortex, but we understand one thing, that is, what changes have happened to our enemy in our mission? If we don't care, we will deal with it and complete our mission as our responsibility. Do you understand?"
Mu Xianliang said loudly on his horse, and the soldiers around him also heard it. Although this words could not solve their doubts, they were like a flame in the darkness.
It can also be regarded as letting them know what to do next. What our general said is the truth and respond to changes with the same static situation. This is what we should do at this moment and we must not mess up our minds.
Next, the Ming army's movement speed became much faster. It turned out that when we arrived at a stronghold, we were reconnaissance soldiers and artillerymen to find our location. It would take at least half an hour for us, but now we don't need it.
After seeing the reconnaissance soldiers we came over early, these people jumped over directly, and there were no one in the stronghold anyway.
In addition, they were all on the road, and even if they wanted to set up traps, they would not be able to dig up the stones. What's more, the reconnaissance soldiers had already stepped on us around, so there was really no danger along the way.
After marching like this again for thirty miles, I finally discovered something different. At this moment, I was less than fifty miles away from Haifang Port.
Mu Xianliang and his guard platoon rode their horses and caught up with the soldiers who were investigating in front of them. It turned out that these soldiers of investigating in the investigation had gathered. They saw the soldiers of Annan Kingdom who were retreating in front of a stronghold.
About 800 meters ahead of Mu Xianliang and the others, there was an Annan stronghold with more than 100 people inside, which was worthy of the previous small-scale battles. At that time, there were not many people dispatched by the Ming army, and not many people ambushed the other side.
Even if the army on our side has increased to 5,000, if they rely on favorable terrain to resist, we will not be able to take advantage of it. What is the purpose of these people retreating so quickly?
"The general looked at their left. There was a big road there. I just walked around from the side. The road was full of soldiers who were retreating. They should be the soldiers from the strongholds we met before."
A scout pointed to a road next to it and said that from that road eastward, it should be the direction to Haifang Port.
When Mu Xianliang heard this, he looked a little uncomfortable. All of these people were evacuated to Haifang Port. Could it be that their tactics have been seen through?
"Immediately order the army to accelerate forward. Even if it encounters them, it doesn't matter. Let's open a bloody road and kill me. My heart thumped. It seems that they should have seen something, otherwise it would be impossible to retreat like this."
Mu Xianliang couldn't find out the current situation at this moment, but Mu Xianliang knew something that they didn't have much time left. If these people retreated to Haifang Port, it means that the other party had seen some clues.
We must also kill quickly. Of course, what Mu Xianliang is most afraid of is that these people destroy Haifang Port. These soldiers are not in his eyes. But if the port facilities are destroyed, how should I get ashore with our cargo on the sea?
Originally, these 5,000 soldiers were all leading their horses, mainly because there were various mechanisms on the road. They had suffered a lot in the past, but now after receiving the general's orders, they all stepped on their own war horses.
He rushed towards Mu Xianliang as fast as possible, not afraid of any traps on the road. Didn’t you see the soldiers of Annan Kingdom not far ahead? If there were traps, they would have to fall in before us.
At this moment, a large number of soldiers had already gathered at the seaport and seafighting port in the northern Annan Kingdom, but the order they received surprised them. The order given to them was very simple, which was to burn the entire harbor facilities in various ways, including some small boats, and they had to burn them.
"You unruly people, this is the order of the court. If someone does not abide by it, don't blame me for being ruthless and get out of here. The court will take care of your food. If anyone dares to hide the boat in his home, it will be a treason and accomplice to the enemy."
After receiving the order, the local army leader immediately surrounded the fishing port with his men. There were hundreds of small boats inside. All of them must be burned according to the above orders.
