Although Liaozhen retreated to Ningyuan and Juehua, it distanced itself from Jiannu. However, this winter is very likely to become the target of Jiannu's attack, and weapons and equipment are naturally prioritized for the supply of equipment.

More importantly, there is an emperor who wants to be in front of everything. As soon as the eagle was first made on a large scale, Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong received instructions from the emperor through secret music.

Using a small number of eagle guns in the army, Liaozhen began the selection and training of eagle musketeers in advance.

Similarly, Dongjiang Town was instructed to train a group of soldiers before the eagle arrived, and the preparation of the musketeers was basically completed.

In order to alleviate the pressure of transporting ammunition and materials, earthen kilns were built in Liaozhen and Dengzhen to fire the sand pottery shells of thunder.

As a result of this adjustment, the Gunpowder Bureau of the Beijing Division only needed to send craftsmen and supply granular gunpowder and ignition devices to assemble and manufacture them on the spot.

It looks like it's about saving on shipping costs, but it's actually quite effective. The front-line reserves of weapons and ammunition are increasing day by day, and they are becoming more and more capable of continuous combat.

In terms of manpower and soldiers, the Ming Dynasty has an absolute advantage. If the supplies are sufficient, the blockade and siege, and the frequent harassment operations, the process of dragging down the Jiannu will be greatly shortened.

The continuous enhancement of Liaozhen's strength has also enabled a more active combat plan to gradually gain the upper hand.

Boom, boom, boom!

The roar of the eagle's gun resounded incessantly, echoing over the training ground.

The improved buffer device is very effective, as can be seen in the reaction of the soldiers.

If the need to use the Eagle Gun in the past was a first-class robust body, now it is also capable of using a medium condition.

Several generals also stepped forward to test the firing, and then got together to discuss the discussion.

"The eagle is so powerful, just waiting for Jiannu to attack, it is very passive. Even if the geographical location of Jinzhou is not conducive to reinforcements, it is not bad to hold on to Songshan, Xingshan, and Tashan first! ”

Huang Degong, who had just graduated from martial arts and returned to the establishment, had already been promoted to guerrilla, and he had some complaints about the current strategy of passive defense in Liaozhen.

Zu Dashou looked at Huang Degong and felt that this guy was a little floating. is still enterprising, which is obviously not in line with the strategy of the imperial court to stabilize Liaoxi and consume the eastern captives!

The city defense and fortifications of Ningyuan are like copper walls and iron walls, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are impregnable. Wait for the eastern captives to come and attack, and kill and wound them with ease and waiting, how safe.

Besides, because the financial resources of the imperial court are limited, it is also to reduce the logistical burden. For the time being, the number of soldiers in Liaozhen was only 60,000.

There were 25,000 people in Ningyuan, 8,000 in Juehua, 24,000 in Shanhaiguan, plus 3,000 cavalry who left Jinzhou.

With such troops, there is more than enough defense and not enough attack. If you occupy more cities and fortresses, you always feel that the army is weak.

Seeing that everyone's reaction didn't seem to be very enthusiastic, Huang Chuangzi glared at the big eyes and said: "Yu has 3,000 soldiers and horses, enough ammunition, and can block tens of thousands of Jiannu in Songshan." ”

Jin Guofeng smiled and said, "General Huang's martial arts and bravery, there is no need to doubt it. But I think that if I want to take the initiative, I am afraid that I will have to wait until next year. ”

Raising his hand to stop Huang Degong, Jin Guofeng continued: "The weapons and equipment are not sufficient, and the training of soldiers is still short. The key is that the imperial court's finances are tight, and if there is a relaxation next year, it will be time to change the strategy. ”

Zu Dashou nodded in agreement, and said to Huang Degong in the tone of a senior: "Huang Chuangzi, don't only look at Liaoxi, only look at Ningyuan. Didn't you go to the southwest with the observation group, and you didn't know that the imperial court was fighting two wars? ”

"How can I not know?" Huang Degong shook his head and argued: "It is precisely because of the high consumption of fighting two wars that a certain person wants to solve Dongyu as soon as possible!" ”

Turning his head to look at the garrison Huang Long, who was studying martial arts with him, Huang Degong raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Huang, are you right?" ”

Many officers who entered the martial arts were rather confused, and they didn't know why the Holy Lord would look at himself as a lowly official, and Huang Long was an example.

But who wouldn't cherish such an opportunity?

And every time an officer sent from the martial arts, the emperor personally summoned him, set up a banquet, and looked forward to Yin Yin. Let them be even more grateful to Dade, so that outsiders can also take a look at it.

Hearing that the family was going to pull himself to help, Huang Long couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in a deep voice: "Jiannu is strong in the field, and the traitors in Lu'an rely on geographical advantages, so they can't be eager to do it. Although the musket is fierce, it is greatly affected by the weather, and it is not a weapon for winning a hundred battles. ”

Huang Degong rolled his eyes, but he also knew that Huang Long was right. There is such a teaching in martial arts, and there is a deep analysis of the shortcomings of arquebuses.

A little unwilling in his heart, Huang Degong muttered: "It's better to go to the dragoon camp, and it will be more enjoyable to fight Jiannu." ”

Someone laughed and diverted the topic, talking about how the iron mask was decorated, so that it looked more fierce and mighty, and everyone expressed their opinions again.

At this time, the dragoon battalion, which was envied by Huang Chuangzi, had already gone out to Jinzhou, and together with Mangui's flying cavalry battalion, it became the outpost of Ningyuan.

If it was just to garrison Jinzhou, or to give an early warning, it would be of little significance for the two cavalry units to go forward.

According to Xiong Tingbi's plan, the dragoon battalion and the flying cavalry battalion carefully surveyed the dangerous places from Jinzhou to Ningyuan, and selected several places as predetermined battlefields.

Since they want to make the most of their strengths, the Flying Cavalry Battalion is responsible for inviting and luring the enemy, as well as chasing down the defeated enemy.

The dragoon battalion was responsible for ambushing, killing and wounding the enemy with muskets, and breaking up the enemy's formation, causing confusion so that the flying cavalry battalion could charge back.

"It's too dangerous to be ambushed." Yang Guozhu stayed on the horse to observe, shaking his head in denial.

Garrison Fan Hualong was a little puzzled, and asked, "My lord, aren't we going to rely on danger to ambush?" ”

Yang Guozhu smiled and explained: "The ambush is correct, but relying on danger is not. You think, if you can see the danger at a glance, how dare Jiannu be careless? And how can they successfully ambush them? ”

Fan Hualong nodded abruptly and said, "That's true." If we want to take them by surprise and attack them unprepared, we must paralyze the enemy and relax our vigilance. ”

Yang Guozhu glanced at Fan Hualong appreciatively and said, "The musket tactics are not very demanding, and the chest wall of the trench can also play a role on flat ground. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance, "The section of the official road I just walked on is lined with low hills and withered grass, which is not bad to look at." ”

Fan Hualong agreed, and Yang Guozhu led more than 100 cavalry, and then turned back to carefully observe and survey.

"I heard that the Beijing camp is also going to send troops to Liaodong to participate in the war, which is similar to transferring troops to the southwest to quell the rebellion." Fan Hualong asked while directing the soldiers to plant flags.

Yang Guozhu nodded and said, "Not this year, next year there is a chance that I will come to Liaodong." Not only Jingying, but also Jinzhen, will often transfer people to train and increase actual combat experience. ”

Fan Hualong guessed: "This is secretly accumulating strength, ready to give Jiannu a heavy blow, right?" ”

Yang Guozhu said with a smile: "Our Liao Town and Dongjiang Town are two knives that go straight to Jiannu; And Dengzhen and Jinzhen are sharp arrows that are waiting to shoot at Jiannu's vital point. ”

Fan Hualong smiled and said, "Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent. The arrangement of the imperial court is very powerful, once it is launched, Jiannu will definitely be caught off guard. ”

Yang Guozhu looked thoughtfully to the south and said in a deep voice: "As long as the strategy of 'Quartet Arrangement' remains unchanged, within a few years, Jiannu will be exterminated." ”

Whether the order changes overnight or whether it is wavering, Yang Guozhu is not very sure, and he also knows the key, but he just doesn't dare to say it clearly.
