Land warfare is different from naval warfare. On land, all you need to do is send your warriors to overwhelm the enemy. How many people die in the process is irrelevant. Moreover, in land warfare, you don't have to worry about the enemy escaping. If the monk runs away, can the temple still be there? Do you still want to keep the territory?
“Master, you have a wise suggestion. How about we find an anchorage ahead and set off for Temasek early tomorrow morning?”
"No, we'd better attack tonight. They didn't ambush us last night, which means they can't see clearly at night and therefore can't use that unknown weapon. So, attacking at night is the right strategy."
"The Master's insight is profound!"
"Pass down the order: continue the advance; we must reach Temasek tonight."
The lighthouse in Singapore Harbour was not yet completed. A lighthouse that is twenty feet tall would definitely be a huge project these days. However, the guide buoys in the harbor channel had already been installed. The three frigates returning at night easily docked at the pier.
"Your Highness, we respectfully welcome your victorious return!"
It wasn't the smooth-talking Lin Yongqian who was offering this flattery, but the young Wu Mingyi. Seeing that sunny boy turn into a slick guy, Qin Mo couldn't help but give him a light kick.
"I haven't seen you learn anything else, but your ability to read people and expressions has improved a lot. I have won a battle, but it is far from time to be careless. You should immediately arrange for cavalry to scout the coast at night to prevent enemy night attacks."
Qin Mo's follow-up fleet brought a large cavalry unit to be used as a reconnaissance team for Lion City. Fortunately, Lion City was not large, otherwise the warhorses needed for guarding and communication would have been a headache. In this pioneering period when all goods had to be transported by sea, the main thing transported was only one thing - people, and everything else was secondary.
"Your Highness, please return to camp to rest. If there is any enemy activity, please report it immediately!"
From the moment Qin Mo landed, Wu Mingyi began calling him "Your Highness" repeatedly, making Lin Yongqian, who was standing by, roll his eyes in exasperation. What could he do? He was the head of civil affairs! During wartime, Wu Mingyi, as the garrison commander, certainly had a more prominent position, but this guy had changed too quickly. Was he still the same fool who would fall for a trick at the slightest provocation?
Qin Mo returned to the camp, ate and washed up briefly, and prepared to cultivate for a while. Tomorrow would inevitably be a great battle, and conserving energy was the right choice.
"Your Highness, Wu Mingyi requests an audience; his enemies have arrived."
Aiya's message surprised Qin Mo. She had asked Wu Mingyi to send out scouts overnight as a precaution, but who knew that the commander of Majapahit was such an idiot, launching a landing at night without knowing the terrain... Is this the US military or something?
