Chapter 48: Ruthless
Wu Dui, Chen Ju, and artillery are all real people.
Chen Mu said that the artillery fire would not stop, so it would not stop.
The artillery was so bombarded that Ji Neng, who had already led his troops out of four or five miles away, even Chen Mu was trembling when he heard the bombardment behind. There were only more than 200 soldiers left on the bridge who were kneeling on the ground to beg for mercy, and seven or eight hundred people took the prisoners back, and the cannons from the artillery positions were still bombarded.
It was not until Chen Mu sent someone to tell Chen Ju on the position that he stopped the cannon and his ears were considered safe.
In this battle, nearly 300 artillery shot to the west of Jumahe, and the targeted place was not changed. The iron balls that were shot were more than a thousand pounds.
However, the middle-aged and young eunuchs in anti-Mongolia were stormed by a young man. When Chen Mu walked onto the artillery position again, the two men were radiant. No matter whether it was the arrogance of the civil servants or the perverse eunuchs, they all smiled and bowed to Chen Mu to celebrate, and Chen Mu also congratulated them on a victory.
Isn’t Chen Laoyin the only purpose of this, giving Wu Dui and Chen Ju a sense of honor to participate. People say that it is a relationship that has carried a gun, and even more iron cannons can be stronger than iron?
Just watching Chen Ju touching the cannon body and praising the quality of the Nanyang Guards, Chen Mu's heart aches. He just wants to shave himself with big ears - it's awesome, why are you keeping a cannon in order to make the momentum?
These two military inspectors didn't know much about cannons, so they used cannons to death. Each cannon fired more than fifteen cannons in a row. Even if the iron-core copper cannon is durable and the front-loading cannons are slow, they can't stand such high-frequency strikes.
Chen Mu also stroked the cannon body, wanting to cry without tears - the copper skin was bulging, it was all money!
I can't bear to leave my children and can't trap a wolf.
"General, the enemy retreated."
When an order came to report, Chen Mu waved his hand tiredly, indicating that he knew. He took off his phoenix wings and his hair disheveled, sat on the chair of the artillery position, leaning back comfortably, then he breathed comfortably, looked down at the dent on the armor, and broke a feather arrow nailed to it at some point. Then he bowed to the two and smiled: "If you can win this, you will make great contributions to the strategy!"
Ji Neng retreated as Chen Mu expected. The Tumotes could only rely on raids. As the front line was extended, they were occupied by subsequent reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty. Once they formed an encirclement, they could trap them in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. Without siege weapons, they could not escape the fate of being surrounded and annihilated under the tactics of firm walls and clearing the fields.
So they have only one priority to attack, they must be fast.
Once the offensive is set, you will either go around or retreat, and there will be no other tactics.
The delay in the Jima River for several days was far beyond Ji Neng's expectations. If it was consumed further, not to mention that more than 10% of the casualties and injuries in the army could not be compensated, the remaining troops would also be left in the Ming land.
Wu Dui and Chen Ju are not as tired as Chen Mu. These two old brothers are very excited and feel unsatisfied.
Both of them have led soldiers, and even seen soldiers all day long. They have been to the battlefield many times, but have never fought a war.
Only this time, I personally participated in it and retreated the powerful enemy, making the two middle-aged people, one and one official, look like they were radiant and returned to their youth. Not to mention how excited they were.
At this time, Chen Mu's words seemed to be pouring cold water on the two military supervisors. Wu Dui, who was used to the dirty court, curled his smile and said without saying anything. Chen Ju, the official who had just stood up, immediately raised his face and said with a straight eyebrows: "What does General Chen mean? Do you think the miscellaneous family will still steal your merits when they come to you? Or are you planning to use the merits that the soldiers exchanged for their lives as a favor?"
Chen Mu put away his hands, sat without moving, raised his eyebrows, and saw that Chen Ju was not as fake as he was speaking. Unexpectedly, this 'man' was quite upright. He smiled and said frankly: "Yes, Chen just wants to use his merits to make favors. And in this battle report, please be sure to write truthfully about how to fight against the enemy's merits."
Chen Ju frowned, and his face was extremely complicated on his cleansing face, and his eyes were staring at him in disbelief like a copper bell. Just admit it openly?
"Hey, Chen is not a family heir to the family. He is the Qingyuan small banner. He does the work of serfs and receives the salary of brown rice from three stones of moonlight. The two said before that the merits in the north are hard to calculate, and the heads are strict, and the northern barbarians are rewarded very much. Now Chen is killing more than a thousand enemies in Mahe. How many merits can the court record?"
Chen Mu laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two. How many Japanese people in the South China Sea are affected by the family. Chen wants to train a strong army, but the guards are difficult to be born in a difficult situation. As the two of them see it-"
"My army has the cannons and guns, and the Nanyang Guards' Weapons Bureau has pulled it up for Chen, using all the money from the guards. Since Chen was promoted to Qianhu, he has made up his mind to let the flag army eat and wear warmth, but for Chen's selfish desires, he owe many flag army a lot."
"Wu Bingbei, our Nanyang Guard Flag Army is still brave and decisive in killing the enemy?"
Wu Dui nodded just now, and Chen Ju had already shouted at Chen Mu's flag army: "It's not just brave and decisive, their method of shooting is hard to match even in the Shenji Camp! Not only are the guns and cannons the world's best, but this flag army is also the world's best!"
Chen Ju never spoke very much before. At this time, he called Qu Chen Mu to the flag army and found that the young eunuch with white face and clean face had black teeth, which made him laugh in his heart. Eighty-mostly, when he was a child, he often had candy to eat, which made him eat his teeth badly.
"Chen has no other thoughts, just to be able to remember the merits truthfully. The head of the law, one hundred is counted as one hundred, and three hundred is counted as three hundred, and he does not want others to erase his merits. The two military supervisors clearly understand that Chen is a border minister, and no one in the capital is protected, and he does not want the merits obtained by soldiers to exchange their lives to be erased by villains. Therefore, this request is made, hoping that the names of two adults can be found in the battle report to prevent the silence from coveting them."
"Mr. Chen, the deputy commander of the command, has been deeply grateful to the court. He can be loyal to the country and block the enemy's battle and kill him and retreat. He has no regrets in his heart."
Chen Mu said with deep affection and stood up and bowed, "But he could remember the merits truthfully, even if Chen had fewer merits, so that the soldiers could receive the rewards from the court and the talented soldiers among them could be promoted and rewarded. Chen was a great relief."
"I think both of you are honest and honest, so I have such a heartless request. I hope you can see that you can do it for the sake of tens of thousands of soldiers in the Jumahe River, and don't be stingy with your reputation and write your names on the battle report!"
Chen Ju's lips were dry and he looked at each other with Wu Dui.
Both military supervisors were smart people, but no matter how smart they were, they still couldn't get around. It was Chen Mu who wanted to give them favors, but after he said it, it seemed that they were giving Chen Mu's favors, and it also became a great kindness to help tens of thousands of flag troops.
Wu Dui smiled. He knew that Chen Mu had no taboos in small matters, but was very careful in major matters. He bowed and said, "Don't worry, General, the Ministry of War, Jizhen, and Changzhen are all towards the general, and no one can erase the general's merits."
"It's really rare for Your Majesty to have such a general." Chen Ju shook his head, sighed a little, and then said, "General, I'm determined!"
Good morning!
