Xiong Tingbi lowered his voice again and whispered in Gao Shixin's ear: "Young man, I have sent an elite force to Fushun Pass. If Jiannu besieged our army, my surprise soldier just happened to build fortifications and block Jiannu from here!"

"Mr. Xiong is really Zhuge's rebirth! In this way, Jiannu will be defeated in this battle!" Gao Shixin admired Lao Xiong and even became more respectful to him. Lao Xiong is indeed a rare military genius, but unfortunately he was destroyed by party struggles in the original time and space.

In fact, there were many talents in the late Ming Dynasty, including Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, etc.; in terms of technology, there were Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua, Song Yingxing, Fang Yizhi, etc.; in terms of martial arts, Mao Wenlong, Cao Wenzhao, Qin Liangyu, Man Gui, Huang Degong and others, as well as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong who later became bandits, Kong Youde and Shang Kexi who later surrendered to Jiannu, were all excellent military generals.

Let’s look at the Donglin Party and the eunuch Party that fought fiercely. What kind of people did it have? The corruption of Li Sancai, the water was too cold, Qian Qianyi, the five-year battle against Liao Yuan Chonghuan, and the alliance with the enemy Shi Kefa were all Donglin Party; Cui Chengxiu, Feng Shuan and other eunuchs were all eunuchs.

Besides, in the original time and space, the King of the Donglin Party in Jin and Wang Huazhen destroyed the situation in Liaodong. Xiong Tingbi was imprisoned. After that, Sun Chengzong went to prison and once saved the situation. Unfortunately, due to the party struggle, Sun Chengzong was forced to retire and return home. The eunuch party's Gao Di went to Liaodong. The good situation was destroyed again.

Then there was Yuan Chonghuan from the Donglin Party. Needless to say, this was purely a guy who was verbally whining.

Xiong Tingbi is keen to observe, quick to respond, outstanding strategic vision, full of confidence and decisiveness. He is an excellent civil servant and an excellent chief of staff. Unfortunately, his personality is weak, and he is not suitable to be a qualified commander. In the confidence of the nobles, the best commander in Liaodong should be Sun Chengzong.

Whether Xiong Tingbi or Sun Chengzong, as long as they are given enough time, they can truly pacify Liao, which is a pity.

Although Xiong Tingbi's failure was mainly due to party disputes, he also had his own personality weaknesses; while Sun Chengzong's failure was entirely due to party disputes. In fact, Sun Chengzong's strategy was somewhat similar to Xiong Tingbi, both of which were based on defense as an offensive and step by step, and finally achieved the goal of trapping the Later Jin Dynasty. However, the methods of these two people required a lot of money.

When Gao Shixin was playing the Empire Age in his previous life, he used the castle propulsion method step by step, and finally pushed the castle to his opponent's home, and pushed the arrow tower and turret to the opponent's gold and stone mines, which eventually destroyed the opponent.

But looking back, since there are so many resources, it is better to explode soldiers from the beginning and fight hard to win more neatly?

Xiong Tingbi and Sun Chengzong's methods are both ways to promote the castle. If the castle is not used to promote the castle, what if the silver is used to explode the soldiers? However, considering that the Ming Dynasty soldiers have too low status, the explosion of soldiers may not be effective. The soldiers that exploded are garbage soldiers, and maybe they will give Jiannu people and equipment.

The method of promoting the castle can be maintained during the Wanli and Tianqi periods, but it is impossible to maintain it during the Chongzhen period, just because there is no money!

Even the castle propulsion method in the Empire era requires soldiers. If there is no soldier, the opponent's packed trolley machine will eventually be smashed. Infantry and cavalry need to deal with the opponent's trolley machine, and then attract the opponent's soldiers to the bottom of his castle to start a war.

It was almost noon that the old slave's army arrived.

Lao Nu led 20,000 Jianzhou and Korqin Mongolian troops and entered Fushun Pass in a mighty way, and met with more than 10,000 Korqin Mongolian and Jianzhou troops from Manguertai and Huang Taiji.

In fact, the actual force brought by the Lao Nu was far more than 20,000, and they also brought more than 30,000 Baoyi Aha, who did not count into Dingkou. With the 10,000 troops of Mangurtai and Huang Taiji, and with the Baoyi auxiliary troops, the total force of the Later Jin Dynasty reached 60,000.

Because the Baoyi auxiliary soldiers were not included in Dingkou, Wang made a mistake in the judgment of mediocre talents like Jin and Wang Huazhen when they went to fight, believing that the population of the Later Jin Dynasty was only more than 100,000, and at best, they could produce 20,000 young and strong. Therefore, they believed that the number of the Later Jin army was not more than 20,000, and attacking it with seven times the strength of the troops, they would definitely beat the Liao in one fell swoop. As a result, the 20,000 Jurchen soldiers in the Later Jin Dynasty were extremely brave, and there were more than 10,000 Korqin Mongolian cavalry and tens of thousands of Baoyi auxiliary soldiers. The actual strength of the Later Jin army reached 60,000.

If it is really as Wang Huazhen judged that Dingkou of the Later Jin Dynasty only had 100,000, and it would be a lot to be able to dispatch 20,000 people, then the Ming army could still fight. However, the actual strength of the Later Jin army is 60,000, so it would be impossible to fight, not to mention that there are still subtle works of the Later Jin Dynasty within the Ming army.

The situation is the same now. The actual military force of the Later Jin Dynasty is 60,000, and Xiong Tingbi has a total of 180,000 troops, of which the military force in the chariot formation is about 90,000. Another 20,000 elite troops were quietly sent by Xiong Tingbi to Fushun to cut off the retreat route of the Later Jin Dynasty, and there are 70,000 guarding their families.

After estimating the strength of the Later Jin army, there were about 60,000. Gao Shi also made a drumbeat in his confidence: "Mr. Xiong, our army has 90,000 and Jiannu has 60,000. I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight, right?"

Xiong Tingbi smiled confidently and said, "If I spread out and fought in the field, I will definitely not be the opponent of Jiannu from 90,000 yuan. But I have been preparing for the battle in Fushun Pass for a long time! This car array is a moving city, and I have also prepared enough food and grass, water and charcoal. If necessary, we can dig wells on the spot in the car array!"

The Ming military vehicle array is not far from Hunhe River. The groundwater level here is relatively shallow. As long as you dig about four to five feet, you can dig a well, so you don’t worry about being cut off at all. The grain is prepared very well, and the cabins of those chariots are filled with grain.

Xiong Tingbi's chariot is actually a side van. This kind of chariot carries a piece of wooden board. When forming a chariot, it stands the wooden board on one side, and chariots are connected to the front and tail to form a circular chariot castle. The auxiliary soldiers and the Minzhuang are located in the middle of the chariot castle. The crossbowmen, musketeers and gunners defend on the chariot castle, the knife player, the spearman and the cavalry act as flexible and mobile forces, and can leave the chariot castle to defend against the enemy at any time.

The old slave army had arrived, and he asked someone to call both Manguertai and Huang Taiji to him.

"Fifth Prince, I heard that you suffered a crushing defeat? Have you lost more than 3,000 Korchin cavalry?" the old slave looked directly at Manguertai and asked.

Manguertai knelt on the ground, not even dared to raise his head: "Ama, I know I am wrong! I shouldn't have attacked Mingdog Cart Formation."

"Just know the crime! You go down first!" The old slave turned to look at Huang Taiji again, "Brother Eighth Prince, you beat him well, restrained Minggou, only lost more than ten people, beheaded more than 3,000 levels! Two thousand prisoners!"

"Ama! The child did not dare to attack Minggou Car Castle rashly, but just killed some barbarians who had no time to retreat into the Car Castle." Huang Taiji knelt on the ground and said.

The old slave laughed: "The Eighth Prince did it right! The barbarians use the car formation to defend. It is the best tactic to wait for Ben Khan's main force to arrive! If you restrain them from moving around, this is already a success!"

"Amami praised it! My son just wanted to be stable and not make mistakes, but he did not dare to take risks."

"It's right not to take risks!" Lao Nu said with a smile, "I have fewer dens in Jianzhou, so I can't lose any of them at will!"

Next, the old slave sent an order to make preparations for the attack. Baoyi Aha would assemble the disassembled shield cart, the Mongolians took care of the horses, and the armored dead soldiers sat on the ground to rest first, and then they would put on thick heavy armor. The archers took the arrows from the cart, divided the light arrows and heavy arrows into the quiver.

The fireheads of the Later Jin army set up stoves on the ground and began to make fires and boil water.
