Chapter 495
Chen Mu's peace envoy arrived at Mo Jingdian's camp over many obstacles, and handed over Chen Mu's letter of truce because he admired his loyalty.

The fact that the Ming army fell into Shenglong three times made everyone know what happened to killing Chen Mu's envoy, so the envoy was properly taken care of.

And perhaps from a military point of view, Chen Mu didn't want Chen Mu to find out the details of Mo Jingdian's army's supplies. The envoy was allowed to choose what he wanted to eat from a wide variety of 'military rations', and came back after eating two large bowls of rice noodles.

On the second day after the envoy returned, two thousand-man teams rushed to Shannan Road one after another. The gun sheds and trenches supporting the facade were still equipped with firearms, and they gave the advance thousand-man team a head-on blow. Support, the former army was defeated.

Shao Tingda personally led five hundred knives and axemen under his command to chase two miles from behind the trench, gathered up the defeated army in the front, and the generals of the rear army regrouped in the rain to fight back with their carbines, catching Shao Tingda who was chasing fiercely by surprise.

The two fought against each other, leaving dozens of people behind each other. Mo Jun was defeated again, and was chased by Shao Tingda for three miles, until he reached the river. Then Mang Chong picked up the wounded soldier with a suona and cut off 270 seven right ears. , 12 people were killed.

Mo Jun's wounded soldiers were lying on the battlefield, and when the reckless tiger army went back, they all cultivated and became good ears.

Shao Tingda's prestige in the first battle was achieved by relying on knives and axes, which was better than that of Lin Manjue in Guam. As soon as he led his troops back to the camp, he approached Chen Mu excitedly and said, "Brother Mu, now our army is killing you!" In the past, he could be defeated by a hundred thousand!"

"Come on, Mo Jingdian doesn't have 10 people left. If he has [-] left, he is better at restraining his subordinates than me. Even if he has [-] left, he can still be called a good general. Heh, [-]?"

Chen Mu waved his hands and laughed, "Impossible!"

"The wounded soldiers have been settled?" The battle report has been reported by the messenger who flew back earlier. Chen Mu gestured to Deng Zilong, Zhang Shijue and others and praised Shao Tingda: "The fight was very good. We are waiting for you to come back, tell me Well, how did you fight?"

This battle also made Chen Mu feel miraculous. The two thousand-man teams were defeated, but the artillery and trench gunners did not kill many people. At least one thousand and nine were defeated earlier, and Shao Tingda's five hundred knives and axes were killed. It is not surprising that the pursuit has achieved this result.

Everyone turned around and fought against him for a while, so it's strange that so many people died.

"I'm serious, now I can really defeat Mo Jingdian's army." Shao Tingda said with a rare seriousness on his face, and even a little fear, "The gang of hozens saw that I had no firearms and came to surround me fiercely. Very quickly, the formation was scattered in a blink of an eye."

"But let's break up. He wants to kill me and he will also break up. Once they break up, they will lose."

Shao Tingda spoke very seriously, but when it came to the details of the battle situation, he was at a loss for words for a while, and said: "I don't know what's going on, maybe it's raining, the banners can't be seen, the gongs and drums are not far away, and the approaching shouts are a little farther away." If it is far away, it will be covered by the sound of rain.”

"As soon as they disperse, they lose their formation, but our small flags and flag lieutenants can gather to the left and right, or perform three talents or four elephants, and three or four people attack together. They are scattered and scattered. The flag officers gather around."

"After a while, my formation became two large formations. I didn't even need to give orders, and I defeated them again until I reached the river bank, and I saw the big camp." Shao Tingda said, opening his hands and clapping his chest, jokingly. Said: "Brother doesn't need to say anything, knowing that we fought bravely and took the lead in the battle strengthened the soldiers' momentum."

"The next time we fight, my younger brother will take the lead, so I don't care if I kill him or not!"

Chen Mu clapped his hands and laughed loudly, pointing at Mang Chong and said to Deng Zilong: "Look, what is the skill of the best soldier in the world? Simple generals are invincible!"

Shao Tingda didn't take it seriously when he heard Chen Mu's joke, folded his arms and fell on the chair with his buttocks clasped, the iron arms slammed, and said to Lou Qimai who was grinning loudly, "Hey, you ugly ghost still laughs at me, I only think that what the commander-in-chief is talking about is a titan!"

Lou Qimai didn't follow him, he said his, and people continued to laugh at others.

Either Huang Dexiang also laughed, but Shao Tingda didn't respond. He and Lou Qimai have been together for a long time. Lou Qimai turned his nose into this small gang when he was a small flag soldier in the early years, and he has long been used to the reckless manner of talking.

"Yes, it's the tough generals. Not only do I have tough generals who can kill them, but also ugly generals to frighten them. If the battle is against me, I also have tough generals who can survive being shot. Who can beat me, huh?"

Chen Mu laughed loudly, the hard general was referring to Huang Dexiang, the first time the Nanyang Army went south to snatch the Spanish galleon San Pablo, Huang Dexiang, who led the crowd to jump into the battle to seize the ship, was hit by an arquebus, and his bones were broken After lying in Panshilan City for three months, he is another good man.

Very hard.

"Marshal, you are also tough!" Huang Dexiang said sincerely with a flattering expression: "Under the southern gate of Guangzhou, the Zhongbao is also leading the army to fight against the bandits, even harder!"

When this matter was mentioned, even after several years, Chen Mu still felt pain in his arm. He waved his hands to stop talking and laughing, and carefully reminded the generals: "After suffering this loss, Mo Jingdian should not send troops to the east again, but Don't relax."

"The banner troops stationed in the camp must pay attention to safety. Judging from the past typhoons, it will last for a few more days, but the sentries on Shannan Road are also indispensable. The generals who take turns to guard the trenches and gun sheds must not relax."

"Three shifts per day, three flags per shift, the wind is too strong, be careful when patrolling together, other people should reinforce the camp if there is nothing to do, don't walk around in the camp if there is nothing to do, several flag soldiers were injured by flying wood yesterday, More people died in a single battle than Mang Chong!”

All the generals clasped their fists in response, and Deng Zilong asked: "Mo Jingdian really made a peace meeting? The country is ruined and the family is dead. His family is dead, but the family is still there. He is a loyal minister, but the emperor has entered Guangxi; he is a treacherous minister. At this time, it happened to take Qinghua to usurp the throne."

"That's how people are. You see that there are many roads in front of you, but in fact, you have no choice but to go to the same end."

"If I were him, I would definitely fight the Ming army to the end, but I can't fight right now. This is the only way to preserve the power of the clan and the country. Then I can only temporarily surrender, and first take down the softer Qinghua to find a way forward. , after all, a man can bend or shrink!"

Chen Mu joked, and then said seriously: "He may not be able to swallow this breath, and will not discuss peace with me. Even so, fighting again is only after the rain stops. With the help of the heavy rain, I can relax for a few days. After a few days, General Yu reinforcements are coming."

"Annan has nothing to worry about. In fact, I am more worried about Myanmar. Mang Yinglong is a ruthless character. Yinglong is out of customs."

When it came to my brother-in-law, Chen Mu couldn’t help worrying like a brother, saying: “The Bozhou warrior riding a Dian horse sent me a letter this morning. I don’t even know how he came here, saying that Yu Shuai’s soldiers and horses were blocked by the river, and he would arrive a few days later. Yinglong sent troops to Meng Yang."

"There was nothing to worry about at first, but the kid sent me the suicide note, saying that he sent all three thousand suicide notes from the Bozhou Army back to Bozhou. I have to decide what happens after his death. If something happens, let me let Zhaolong go back for a while." Dai Tusi, wait for my one-year-old nephew Chaodong to become an adult, and then let Zhaolong pass the throne to Chaodong."

"Everyone can't go into battle with the will to die. With me, Ying Long can be a standard soldier. The soldiers report the will to die. The general wants to snatch the lives of these people back from the hands of the king of hell. One life, exchange the life of the enemy."

Chen Mu raised his hand and wiped his face, and said: "When this battle is over, we will also enter Burma. You can help me teach my brother-in-law how to fight!"
