Marching in the dark is the most difficult thing, especially for the tired flag army.

In the past, Xiangshan training was a marching of 150 miles a day, but marching in the dark was much more troublesome. In order to move quickly, only three artillery pieces remained in Guangzhou City, leaving only six 100-man teams all the way south.

Even so, I still took a break on the road three times, and it was already bright when I met with Bai Yuanjie's tribe on the shore of Shunde.

Chen Mu's mental state was pretty good. The desire to capture Zeng Yiben drove him full of energy. The key was that he rode his horse and followed the troops along during the march. Although he was a little tired, it was much easier than the flag army.

If they had to rely solely on their exhausted army, let alone attack Zeng Yiben, they would have to sleep halfway even if they were asked to drive the boat. They would have hit the rocks and swayed. Fortunately, Bai Yuanjie and Chen Lin's army were both waiting for their leisure and would have been waiting here for a long time.

"You're here. Half an hour ago, the Japanese pirates had more than 20 small boats heading towards Xin'an. I was determined to block it, but I was worried that it would ruin the big thing if it exposed its actions, and they still had troops on the shore." Chen Lin was really anxious. When he saw Chen Mu, he said, "There are many ships, all of which are newly built broad ships. Jingchen said that some of them were still carrying cannons."

"I want to fight in the sea, Jingchen wants to fight on land, what do you think?"

Bai Yuanjie was not in a hurry at all, but she still had the energy to notice Chen Mu and asked, "Did you hurt your arm?"

Chen Mu nodded with a wry smile and asked Chen Lin: "How many cannons do your ship have?"

"Four blessed ships, four fast ships, eight cannon rafts, forty franchises and ten firearms. Two of them are inactive and cannot be used, otherwise two more firearms can be used."

Chen Lin's two naval divisions under his command, such warships and cannons were actually very powerful. Although the Dafu ship only had six Franchise aircraft, the main force of the Ming army's navy has always been bird guns, fire bricks, and rockets. Even though they attached importance to ship cannons in recent years, they were limited in structure and insufficient placement. The key to fighting was the close-range gun shooting and jumping gang.

"not enough."

Chen Mu shook his head. Even so, he was still quite different. He had a lot of plans. With his two centipede ships under his command, the cannons were only a hundred Franchise aircraft, and the number of ships was too small, which was far less than the huge fleet of more than a dozen black-wei Fu ships under his command and more than twenty white ships.

"We have too few cannons, and the Japanese pirate ship has at least 180 Francophones. Brother Chen thinks that the naval battle can be won?"

"There are so many cannons, are the Japanese people good enough to make cannons?"

Chen Lin sneered at this and smiled at Chen Mu, "You will bring 600 people. The Japanese will not suffer less casualties than you, otherwise you will not come. There are more people on our boat, so we won't fight with him, so we will only chase the ship and jump to fight with him. One ship after another eats him. Once Yiben dares to fight with us? He just wants to run!"

Chen Lin's analysis was very correct. Chen Mu was shot by hundreds of Japanese pirates in Guangcheng and had a psychological shadow. After thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the case. He immediately asked Chen Lin: "If it is a pursuit, can we force them to a port and force them to dock?"

“Tuen Mun, only Tuen Mun.”

As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, Chen Lin had already expressed a place name, "You must go to Tuen Mun after exiting the river mouth. Only when the Japanese pirates can they go into the sea and get rid of us... What Chen Qianhu means is to fight in Tuen Mun?"

Not only Chen Lin understood, but Bai Yuanjie also understood Chen Mu's thoughts.

Even though Lao Bai recruited the Man Liao in the Inland River to use the naval army, he was unique in Qingyuan, but he had never fought a naval battle and did not know enough about the sea route. However, this did not affect the mutual communication of military tactics. They all had to be formed locally to establish the victory with more attacks and fewer attacks.

"I'm going to Tuen Mun, Erlang, your adopted son in Xiangshan?" Bai Yuanjie immediately planned to divide his troops to harass and encircle him. He mentioned that Li Danxian had doubts and said, "Can the foreigners trust?"

Chen Mu nodded. If you want to win this battle on the sea, the key is the warship. Two centipede ships alone may not be able to defeat more than a dozen lucky ships, but also rely on the Portuguese and the armed merchant ships of the Quan merchants. He nodded and said, "There are great profits. They want to please the court to maintain their trade in Haojing. I will send someone to send a message to Li Dan and ask him to take people to Tuen Mun to meet you."

"My brother Chen and I drove a boat together to wait for the Japanese pirates to rush away and then he was behind him. Zeng San was a big fish, so he couldn't escape!"

Seeing the three of them discussing military aircraft in their hearts, Zhang Deputy Qianhu, who could not even get stuck on the side, heard this sentence and nodded, "After the army capturing the chief pirates of the Minguang pirates, such achievements are enough to make everyone be promoted!"

If Chen Lin usually didn't like this when he heard this, he would not value it. Although civil and military people were all wild, he always praised his ambitions with both civil and military people, and valued righteousness over profit.

But at this time, when Chen Lin heard Zhang Yongshou's words, his brows were stretched out, "I cannot escape the blame when entering Guangzhou this time, and I must capture him!"

Bai Yuanjie also nodded and said yes. Among the four, Zhang Yongshou was determined to be promoted and made a fortune. The three of them had more or less long-term ambitions in their hearts, and how to achieve them was a different path - the same merit.

Zeng Yiben was the greatest merit, far better than Chen Mu's life and death under the city of Guangzhou!

After ordering, a rider went to Xiangshan with Chen Mu's personal letter to find Li Dan to tell him about the current situation and the next battle plan. Chen Mu's flag army led by Deng Zilong to divide it into two centipede ships, while the remaining large and small warships of the Qianhu Institution in Xiangshan were boarded by Bai Yuanjie's Qingcheng flag army.

Although there are many warships in Qianhusou in Xiangshan, only four Franc aircraft were installed on the Fu Ship, which was of little significance to the harassment in the future. All of them were directly transported from Bai Yuanjie to station troops, preparing to pursue and intercept them on the road.

He ordered Long Junxiong to go to the mast and use a telescope to pay attention to the sea surface. Chen Mu, who was standing on the shore, saw Bai Yuanjie leave, felt his deep sleepiness in his mind. He needed to rest, even if he had a short rest, to deal with the most dangerous naval battle in his life.

The four of them bowed to each other on the shore, and Chen Mu tied his arms with his left hand, and his movements were awkward, "It's up to heaven, and it's up to people. All of them are people with great prospects, and even luck can ensure that everything is safe."

When saying this, Chen Mu also gave in special hand to his deputy Qianhu.

This made Deng Zilong and Bai Yuanjie particularly awkward, and Chen Lin also raised his head and laughed: "You Chen Erlang is the one with a bright future. If you even win Guanghaiwei and Guangzhou City, you will be rewarded with me. I am afraid that even if I, Chen Lin, will greet you, and I will say that we... Jingchen, take care of you!"

These people don’t know what situation they will have in the future, but Chen Mu knows.

Shiyin Qingyuan Guard Commander, Guangdong Commander, General Tongzhi, Bai Yuanjie.

The governor of the Left Army, Shangzhu Kingdom, Jinzi Guanglu Dafu, Deng Zilong.

Not to mention Chen Lin, who led Guangdong soldiers such as Deng Zilong and Bai Yuanjie to fight against the Japanese during the Wanli period.

It should be no problem to work with them and the best generals of this era.

The sea surface of Jiangkou is full of eyes, dark clouds are drooping, as if a storm is brewing.

He was already standing with these people... With the satisfaction of setting foot in history, Chen Mu fell asleep in a light mail while the centipede ship was slowly shaking with Jiang Tao.

Until the chaotic noise woke him up, the guards stood in front of the couch and bowed to one knee: "Mr. Chen, the Japanese pirates are on the boat!"
