Chapter 21 Plan
The place where Shao Tingda was stationed was called Manghu Mountain, and the name was named Manghu himself, because this place had no name at all, it was just an unknown mountain. It was separated from the place that could be called "mountain" recently, and was surrounded by dense jungle that was not accessible to people.
The only special place is that there is a pile of stones about one meter high on both sides of the wet mud road that only accommodates two horses in parallel. Shao Tingda said that the two piles of stones were Manghu Cliffs, and the garrison was boring. He also specially set up a wooden sign with three big words written by someone who made people to penetrate the road, which was named.
He also said that if he fought and won the battle, he would find someone to carve a stone tablet and remember the merits of the stone.
As a result, not to mention that the wooden sign was bombarded into wooden slag, even the two stone pestles he named were bombarded.
"But don't mention it. The Luzons were driven up by the Western barbarians. The Western barbarians set off firecrackers in the back. Just now, his mother beat the bird-heeled snail on the left back, and the one on the right came up again." Shao Tingda, who was rushing to the road, looked aggrieved, "It seems that they were smashing their guns, but it was useless. There were too many people."
Shiqi was very surprised and said, "Not many people died in your subordinates, is it that tragic?"
Shi Qi was still far from Manghu Mountain when he met Shao Tingda who sent a scout on horseback and said he wanted to retreat. Shao Tingda turned to this horse and repeated the order Chen Mu gave Shi Qi. Shao Tingda took advantage of the situation and retreated with a look of bad luck.
"But a few people died. Seeing that we had too many cannons and many guns, the Western barbarians did not come up at all. They did nothing except dodge behind the cannons. They couldn't hit them accurately, so they pointed at the Japanese and Luzons and rushed up. The place was narrow and they couldn't spread. When they were beaten, they would be in chaos. When they were in chaos, they would retreat. When they retreated, they could kill two or three hundred people."
Shao Tingda was unwilling to say more. He hurriedly retreated because the bird gun lead balls were about to be killed. He could not destroy so many enemy troops. He could defeat them again and again, but the results were not great. Once there were no lead balls and shells, he could not run away.
He could only transport the artillery away first, then retreat, and use the fortifications in front of the trenches to slow down the enemy's pursuit, and then meet with Shiqi after retreating.
"Either they don't bring the cannons, they can't catch up with them. The trench cannons cannot get through and they have to fill out their way." Even though they had retreated, Shao Tingda was still in fear and said, "Damn it, I really didn't expect to survive."
The enemy's vulnerability exceeded Shao Tingda's imagination.
The two flag troops met on the way to retreat. Shiqi did not talk to Shao Tingdado, and waved his hand to let his flag troops give up the way. After Shao Tingda's troops passed, they immediately arranged cover to retreat.
Shiqi carried many firearms.
First, they buried the tread hair and tripping mines on the way to retreat. These two new things also have some connection with Chen Mu. They were made by Qi Jiguang in Ji Town and were taken back to the Nanyang Military Academy to manufacture. The equipment was not large in the expeditionary army.
This is not new. Land mines also appeared in Europe in the 15th century, mostly used for fortress defense warfare, and have not yet been widely developed and applied to field warfare.
In this era of slow spread of news and low flow of people, it takes a long time for any technology to be born to develop, especially some things that have disappeared without time to develop.
In addition to landmines, a small flag army was left with a wooden box and a small flag arrow to cover the attack. This thing was a nightmare to the enemy that charged on a large scale in the narrow zone. Just two small flag arrows could scare hundreds of people so hard that they dare not move forward. In addition, the occasional mines appeared, scaring the pursuit troops into frightened birds.
It was so pissing the captain who served as the commander of this Spanish squad.
After finally moving the artillery out of the trenches dug by the Ming army, chasing them for less than a few hundred meters, the sudden rumbling made the person scared. He quickly sent someone to investigate the situation and exploded a pit on the ground. The legs of the unlucky soldier were blown away, and he fell on the side of the road with two or three soldiers injured by gravel.
After chasing out a few hundred meters, the woods were silly. Then the strange sound of the chirping sound roared. The rocket with a stick rushed over, exploded in the crowd with a bang, and injured more than a dozen people.
But the Chinese are not so accurate every time. The Spanish captain saw it with his own eyes more than once. The rocket was either blocked by the woods and exploded on the tree, or blocked by the tree branches and moved up the sky, and did not look as scary.
But these two things did have a great blow to the morale of the army. Even if the soldiers who died here were less than fifty, no one dared to continue pursuing them.
The fierce Japanese are better. As long as they offer rewards and punishments, they are happy to pursue them; but the Malays are different from the Sulus. They don’t care about money at all, and many people don’t even think gold and silver are useful things at all.
The pursuit was forced to delay, and the Japanese in front were ordered to investigate carefully. The large army followed slowly behind. The Spanish captain sent someone back to Manila to report the news, saying that they encountered a "physiological" blockade on the road and the surprise attack was delayed.
Suleiman of Banshilan City will definitely know the direction of their attack with this "physiological" army and be prepared to forcibly siege the city, and ask the Manila commander to send a fleet to attack Banshilan City at the same time.
The Ming people were called physiological by the Spanish in Luzon. They also talked about the first contact between the Spanish Navy Colonel Juan Salcedo and the Ming merchant ships who recruited Li Dan as their helper.
They attacked the Ming Dynasty merchant ships and won. In the question, he asked Ming people what they came over. The Fujian people said they were businessmen. Because of their pronunciation, Salcedo invented a Roman pinyin, sangleys, and physiological people called Ming people.
Because there were too many Ming people in Luzon, the word physiognomy spread later with Spain's attack on Luzon.
"There are few casualties and low combat power. We ambush them in the open space of the narrow forest."
Chen Mu had much more information than the Spanish. When he met with Shao Tingda's troops, he was very satisfied with the results of the battle and said, "Walking back four miles, there is an open land when he comes over. If the time is good, he can encircle and annihilate them."
"Shiqi, don't retreat. Take your people into two parts, scattered into the forests on both sides, the deeper the better, the hidden whereabouts, don't come out when the Western barbarians pass here. When we start fighting in the north, you can bury some mines from the back road, make a big noise in the forest, and defeat them."
Chen Mu didn't want to let these people go back to Manila. Even though the news of the Ming army landing on the island for such a long time was mostly known to the Manila garrison. He still wanted to directly capture or even annihilate this army, and set a good start for Manila's next capture of the city.
Shiqi's troops scattered into the forest according to the orders. Chen Mujun helped him hide his tracks and retreated. What remains unchanged was to prevent the Spaniards from searching for the dense forests on both sides, leaving a few small flags along the way with the monkeys hiding down.
After being beaten, they will only pay attention to the front and not the left and right.
"This thing will never be fucking useless!"
