open sea

Chapter 757 Courage
Almansa, who returned to the earthen house, still had lingering fears. Looking at the three riders who were kneeling and unable to walk, he suspected that the moody Marshal of the Ming Dynasty had been possessed by the devil.

In any case, he took his own life, and the old governor who survived the catastrophe opened a bottle of rum in broad daylight idly, leaning on the window sill made of straw and mud and looking at the ebbing sea, drinking it in one gulp.

Nothing is known about the future of this land right now.

The atmosphere at the port on the other side of the village was much more serious. Ever since Chen Mu let Almansa and the three messenger riders go, Juniper kept cursing and muttering like an old woman.

For a while, he took off the breastplate and banged it with his fists, and then said that he was going to practice his own soldiers and prepare to resist the attack of the Western Army.

The strange performance made Chen Mu feel that the leader of the soldiers loved acting more than himself, and he played the manic patients to the fullest.

And this guy doesn't like to wear armor. I heard that before he was transferred to his subordinates, he always liked to go into battle shirtless, regardless of whether he was in a hurry or for other reasons. Now that he took off his armor, his sinews and tendons look like scars and arrow wounds. Like rash beans.

Others went to Jiayi to see where there were scars on their bodies, and he went to Jiayi to see where there were good flesh.

Chen Mu thinks that Juniper has this problem probably because he is strong and wants to show off. When he was the general flag, he was fine and shirtless. Of course he is not such a bastard as Juniper. In order to find that there will always be someone stronger than yourself, you will feel relieved.

But maybe Juniper hasn't met anyone stronger than him so far, so he keeps showing off.

"Put on your clothes and armor properly. After a while, other generals and officials will come over. What do you think of your virtue?"

Chen Mu ignored him all the time, and lowered his head to think about his own affairs. He didn't raise his head to reprimand him until he became more and more noisy, and then looked down at the port defense map to think about the matter.

In fact, there are no generals in Acapulco, and the rest are more military officials like Yang Tingxiang and Xu Zhenming. The only serious generals left are Shao Tingda, Fu Yuan, and Hei Yunlong. Even Hei Xiao followed Deng Zilong away.

The situation was just like Almansa’s letter to Bernal. Acapul’s subject matter was indeed empty, and the defense was very empty. The number of soldiers was less than [-], and they had to guard two main roads that were nearly [-] miles apart from the north to the south.

"Handsome, I'm in a hurry! Our intelligence is very clear, once we send troops over..."

Chen Mu took the words and raised his eyes and asked, "Once you send troops over, will you not be able to beat them?"

"Heh! The little stupid thief Bernal, Du Mou is in the army with his hair tied up, and I can charge into the battle with a knife and take his dog's life alone, so I can beat it!"

See what you can!
Chen Mu didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the general, and said: "It's so hot that you can drink more tea. If you win the fight, you can win without taking off your clothes. If you can't beat you, it's useless to take off your clothes. Wearing armor can Cut a few more knives."

Luckily, Juniper was manic, but even at the most manic moment, he could still listen to Chen Mu's orders, and let his servants put on the armor for him, so he stepped forward and asked, "Why didn't the commander kill He should be executed for leaking military aircraft like this."

"Even if we don't kill them, we should send someone to chase those two foolish messenger thieves back."

Looking at the deployment map, Chen Mu swayed in his heart, ignored Juniper's doubts, raised his head in a long breath and said, "The two soldiers and horses should be taken back now, and only the scouts should be left to spy, and gather troops to deploy defenses at the port."

"But we have just completed the fortifications in two important roads, and it is a pity to fill them in. Should we take the risk and let the two departments continue to defend, or fill in the fortifications to shrink the defense?"

In fact, this question should not be a multiple-choice question in most cases. At this time, there is only one reason for Chen Mu's doubts. At the root, he feels that the soldiers will be able to defend—even if the Western Army may attack with multiple troops. Raid.

"Don't defend, the enemy army knows our deployment, and we should change our army at this time." Juniper clapped his two black hands: "Attack proactively, don't want the port, there are two roads, we only choose one, and attack the other directly." Mexico City!"

"Either we meet on a narrow road, our army is not invincible; or the western army wins the port, and our army wins Mexico City."

Needless to say, Juniper is talking about playing a common house-changing tactic, and it will be beneficial to the Ming army if it can be implemented.

However, there are many flaws in the implementation.

For example: "What if the Western Army did not attack?"

Juniper was stopped by Chen Mu's question, and he heard Chen Mu continue: "It's easy to kill people, but if you kill them, you're really gone, and you have no chance to remedy it. It's inevitable that you won't be able to use it if you keep it."

"Besides, I think it's not a bad thing for our army to send those two letters to Bernal. Bernal didn't dare to attack before, and he doesn't dare to attack now."

"Why is this?"

"Half a month ago, Shao Tingda asked Almansa to write a letter to another legion commander under Bernal. This letter will be sent to Bernal. It is a counterintuitive letter."

Chen Mu sat back and straightened his body, and said: "The meaning of the letter is that the commander of the Jessus army and several company commanders under his command are going to kill Bernal, and the letter fell into Bernal's hands. Believe it or not?"

Juniper didn't know there was such a thing at all, his muscular brain didn't realize it for a moment, and he shook his head slightly.

It took a while for Du Heizi to react, and said: "If he believed it at that time, he would have to deal with that army first, otherwise it would lead to civil strife. Maybe there are only three or four thousand troops left in his hands now."

"Then if he doesn't believe it, he won't believe Almansa's letter this time either?"

Chen Mu chuckled, stroked the edge of the table with his idle hands, and said, "That's the reason."

"The last letter may or may not be believed. Even if they did not fight, Bernal would not let Jesús lead the army alone, nor would he let Jesus stay in Mexico City. The situation would only get worse. , the two armies held each other back because of suspicion."

"If he doesn't believe it, this time the letter is true or false to him, does he dare to believe it? Why do you think this is not another lure to the enemy?"

As Chen Mu said, the arrogance on his face came out again, and he put his hands together in front of him, and said to Juniper: "It is good for Bernal to see this letter, at least he knows that I, Mr. Chen, can mobilize at least There are three thousand more."

"Tinda rode [-] horses, and traveled [-] miles since landing. One of them pierced through the Herrera Army by the side of the White Horse River. Heiyunlongbai rode down to Silver City. Bernal was so scared that he didn't dare to look for it from Mexico City until now. .”

"Believe it or not, Mexico City already knows that Mr. Chen has at least 3000 people camping here. Does he dare to come?"

This is the confidence that Chen Mu has always felt relaxed about this. Asia Economics folded his arms slightly, pouted his lips slightly and shook his head slowly, and said: "I borrowed their courage and quickly left Mexico City to fight with me."
