However, in the end, the reason why the Gutian rebels did not move, retreated dozens of villages in a row, and shrunk the defense line as if facing a great enemy was that Lu Bing's well-equipped private army intervened, and they drove into the war zone in a mighty way, and it was Lu Bing, the general of the Dragon Shadow, who sat at the head. The Ming army, which had a strong army and a superior number of generals, did not attack on a large scale at all, except for setting up camp and constantly building an airtight camp, there was no military action to attack. This is different from the intelligence of Lu Bing, who has a fiery temperament and a more irritable temper, Lu Bing's characteristics are to attack as defense, and fast attack is what Lu Bing should do, but now he is not moving.

So the Gutian rebels didn't dare to take the initiative to attack, and they would be demons if they were abnormal, so they could only stand still, for fear of falling into Lu Bing's tricks. Gradually, for ten days in a row, the Ming army still did not take any action, the Gutian rebels could not hold their breath, since the enemy did not move, they had to lure the enemy deep, so the Gutian rebels retreated very wisely, leaving a few empty cities for the Ming army, hoping that the Ming army would occupy the city and break this rigid pattern, but also in order to lengthen the defense line of the Ming army and form a dispersion of troops.

In this regard, the Gutian rebels were very clever, and the Ming army also recovered several cities and several stockades without bloodshed. But what surprised them was the behavior of the Ming army, each city only sent less than 100 troops to occupy it, and even some small villages were only garrisoned by a few people, and the Ming army's rhythm was not broken at all because of the behavior of the Gutian rebels. The Gutian rebels were scouting, but they found nothing, so it was even more strange, so they could only completely stop and make up their minds.

All this is because of the arrival of Lu Bing, a strange talent, but is Lu Bing really here? Of course not, at this time, Lu Bingzheng was chatting with Yarkand's Great Khan Said.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The Ming military did not move on the northwest border, and it was also immovable on the southwest border, and the Ordos side was also delayed by Li Xiang to assemble the troops. The reason why the enemy forces on these sides did not attack the Ming Dynasty on a large scale. Instead, they are relatively conservative and fight within their control, but no one wants to be this bird.

Everyone knows that there are several other forces attacking this time, fighting on the border, and the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than soldiers to block the water and cover the earth. The battle is not active, but if it is to fight deep into the Ming Dynasty and divide the territory of the Ming Dynasty in a large area, the Ming Dynasty will have to fight desperately with it. Whoever makes the first move, the Ming Dynasty will definitely pour the strength of the country to the enemy, and the one who can fight will win, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the countrymen, and the leading generals will be killed by the saint. Thinking about it, the country is about to be unsafe, and anyone who is the emperor will be nervous.

But the border is different. Most of the border places are desolate, and although the Ming court has always advocated the ownership of these places, and has also sent welcoming officials and policies to manage these places, it has never really regarded these places and people as the subjects of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the importance of the border is the same as that of the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River. In the emperor's heart, the status is different. Whoever moves the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty will move the lifeblood of the emperor, and the Ming Dynasty will fight with whom. And now the situation is a little different, Lu Bing is acting as the imperial power, and everyone knows Lu Bing's temper, so he doesn't dare to be sloppy. The enemy also knows that who will be the first bird in such a situation? No one is stupid. They all hope that the other side will start a full-scale war to contain the troops first.

The immobility of these parties does not mean that the whole territory of the Ming Dynasty has done nothing. Long before the battle between Li Xiang and Ordos, the navy supervised by Shen Yew began to act. The Shen family is rich and wealthy, and when they were preparing for naval warfare, the commercial status of the Shen family and Lu Bing was revealed. Not to mention the things in the granary of the country, the rest of the food is everything. There is no need for national recruitment, and merchants from all over the country have taken the initiative to offer.

In addition to the naval division's participation in the battle, many experienced fishermen and water thieves recruited by the Shun Imperial Court to surrender to the naval battle, and before the soldiers arrived, the wealthy Shen family brushed the warships one after another. Even if you fight a war, you have to fight beautifully. Of course, the uniform color is also easier to command and distinguish, knowing that Shen Yeshan is the person who supervises the army, they all shook their heads and said that this is just the mentality of the little daughter, but they will soon know that they are wrong.

It is inevitable that others will say this about Shen Yew, originally a woman's house collapsed, most women are not respected by men in this era, even if you are from a famous family, even like Shen Yew, you have led the Shen family for many years, and your wealth is thriving, but it is not as good as the status of men.

On the same occasion, Shen Yew is always weaker than others, which is why she had to dress up as a man before, not only because of the lack of decency, but also because of the inequality between men and women.

Shen Yew couldn't explain the reason why everyone listened to everything he did, not only because it was unrealistic, but also because it involved military secrets, but because he couldn't do it. It doesn't matter how others love them, Shen Yew doesn't take them too seriously because of different classes, in her opinion, those people are just like ants, as long as the goal is achieved, it is more important than anything else. Others think that Shen Yew is actually justified, and the primary factor in fighting a naval battle is the strength of the ship and the strength of the artillery.

The strength of the ship has little to do with the appearance, it has a lot to do with the tonnage of the ship, the materials and equipment, followed by the quality and combat effectiveness of the crew, and the proper command of logistics and supply, etc. All of this has nothing to do with Shen Yew wearing and repainting, Shen Yew's actions seem to outsiders to be as ridiculous as a girl dressing up her doll, and it is no wonder that others laugh at Shen Yew. It's not that they didn't think of the factors of unified command and discrimination, it's just that they thought that Shen Yew wouldn't think of it, and all they wanted was to look good.

Although people secretly laughed at Shen Yew, no one dared to laugh at the Shen family, because the Shen family had the Shen family, and these warships became even stronger. Originally, the earth-fired cannon on the ship did not move, because the earth-fired cannon had the advantage of earth-made artillery, that is, it was cheap and powerful. At the same time, Shen Yew was armed with a relatively light and flexible breech-filled Furlong cannon.

The Furlong machine is the name of the people of a color mother country, and the Furlong cannon was invented by them, and later Lu Binglayer also came into contact with the Franc machine, so he realized that it was just the old name of the Spaniards. The Furlong cannon can be filled with gunpowder in advance, which is much less powerful than the previous breech cannon because of the reduction of the muzzle diameter, but it is faster and more flexible, which is quite a bit of Lu Bing's repeating firearm.

The original artillery was fixed wherever it was installed, and could not be moved for any reason, once the area was attacked or caught fire. I could only watch as the firearms burned down. But the Furlong machine is different, the Furlong machine has a light gun body, even if it is not dragged by wheels and mules, it can be carried by manpower.

So just think about it. In the event of a fire on board or something that happens to them, these guns can also be spared from harm. This is not the point, assuming that both sides of the ship are equipped with furlong machines, if there are ten on each side, then once one side of the ship faces the enemy, the guns on the other side of the ship can be carried over, forming a strike force of twenty guns, then the attack power will be multiplied.

Of course, another great advantage of the Furlong gun is the convenience and breech filling, so that ammunition and gunpowder can be prepared in advance and filled into the wooden barrel. Direct reloading achieves the effect of continuous shooting. The shells are very small, the barrel is very long, like a child, so someone gave this kind of Furlong machine gun a name called the child and mother cannon.

In fact, this technology is gradually being applied to the firecracker, and Lu Ping has begun to manufacture and prepare for large-scale auxiliary of the existing burst firecracker. It forms a firearm with different lengths and different ranges, but the same type of elixir. In other words, according to the ammunition model of the repeating firearm, the Furlong machine spear is made, and the spear can increase the firing distance through the backfill fire, and the repeating firearm is full of power in close combat, and the two complement each other to make up for each other. will exert greater power.

None of the firearms that Lu Bing had equipped on the ship were lost, and more fresh firearms were added, which greatly increased the load of the ship and reduced the number of soldiers. Shen Yeshan made a bold reform, wearing as many long-range weapons as he could, and leaving a small amount of food when he wore them. The standard is a two-day supply of rations for the entire ship, and the number of soldiers on board is maintained only to be able to operate and operate ranged weapons in the hull, as well as to fight on deck. As for the troops for the landing operation, except for a few large ships, none of the other ships remained.

As for the landing combat crews. The ordnance and the supply of grain and grass were transported by special cargo ships, which supplied the large ships every day, which also greatly increased the quantity of supplies, and the grain and fresh water carried by the cargo ships were enough to last for three months.

Each cargo ship is escorted by a sentinel ship and two Cangshan ships, thus forming a large fleet, and at the same time, there is a battle sequence pressed in front, which can be supported at any time, and can also effectively resist the enemy's attack on the cargo ship. Cargo ships are generally not far from the convoy of battle sequences, even if the enemy uses all tricks to attack the cargo ship and prepare to cut off the food and grass of the Ming army, it is not an easy thing, and it can be recaptured after a while, even if it is difficult to succeed in setting fire.

Because first of all, the huge fleet does not need to pay attention to the ordinary small attackers, and it can also crash the enemy directly into it, you must know that the shipbuilding technology and materials used by the Ming Dynasty are not built, and these cargo ships are built by Shen Yew himself.

Secondly, it was difficult for large fleets to escape the Ming combat fleet, which covered a wide area, and even if they bypassed them and attacked cargo ships from the rear, the cargo ships could rely on each other to fight. The sentinel ships Cangshan and Haicang will also delay time and send out a signal for help. The speedboats of the battle fleet can quickly arrive to support, and there is no need for the fortune ship to appear, as long as the building ship comes forward, it is too late for the enemy to run.

If they escaped before, it would be even more important for the Ming army, and the sentinel ships and Cangshan ships would bite their whereabouts to the death, so as to discover the enemy's lair and then wipe them out.

Shen Yeshan's plan seems to be seamless, but it is actually very risky, it can be said that there is no one before and since, even when Lu Bing was fighting a naval battle, he did not dare to be so shabby and welcome the new, and he still attacked and defended in a decent manner. The sea is not the same as land warfare, if you take risks on land, try new tactics and strategies, if you don't do it, you will only lose some soldiers and kill some innocent lives. Once you find that the strategy is not working, you can quickly adjust the strategy, although it will affect the whole body, but it can be adjusted to minimize the casualties, and even quickly turn the tide of the battle and turn defeat into victory, in short, it will not affect the overall situation.

But naval battles are different, in the vast sea, once the ship is destroyed, people will die, and there is no way back. Not everyone among the sailors knows how to water, not to mention that the sea is cloudy and sunny, and it is difficult to swim to the shore even if the sea is wide and the sky is high, even if you are proficient in water, you may not be able to survive, so you can't tolerate the slightest difference in the pool. The slightest mistake is the annihilation of the whole army, and one wrong step is one wrong step.
