This is also the result of Xiong Tingbi's desire to see the training results of the cavalry and test the effectiveness of the joint combat between the Flying Cavalry Camp and the Dragon Cavalry Camp.

Jin Guofeng poured Yang Guozhu a glass of wine and said, "Where is the Aingshan Mountain you mentioned, Tashan is so indestructible? If Jiannu is not letting him go, the city he spent so much money to build, wouldn't he waste all the red cannons arranged?"

Yang Guozhu smiled, raised his glass and signaled, and said, "I naturally know the importance. It is not easy to train the Dragon Cavalry Camp, and I am reluctant to have major casualties."

Jin Guofeng accompanied Yang Guozhu to drink a glass of wine and said, "The striker of Jiannu should be able to arrive tomorrow, and the team led by Laonu will not be too late. It seems that the first day of the Lunar New Year will be able to calm down for a day!"

"I don't think so," Fan Hualong put down his chopsticks and said, "The Jiannu striker is the blue flag of Manguertai. With that guy's life or death, he might attack when he arrives!"

Jin Guofeng pondered and said, "Just relying on a banner of people, no matter how arrogant they are, they dare not act rashly, right? I just don't know how far the brigade led by the old slave is."

"What?" Yang Guozhu probably guessed Jin Guofeng's thoughts and asked, "I still want to take the initiative to attack and destroy Mangourtai first?"

Jin Guofeng blinked her eyes, smiled bitterly, and said, "I think it's a pity that the weather is not good."

Yang Guozhu and Fan Hualong looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

It’s snowing, it’s really Jiannu’s luck. I’m afraid this is also an important reason why Xiong Tingbi is cautious and wants to fight the decisive battle under Ningyuan City, which is the most complete defense!

Of course, even if the weather is affected, with the troops in Ningyuan City, the striker who has full strength to siege Mangurtai's forward will be sure to win. But the losses will definitely not be small, and it will be difficult to face the main force of Jiannu next.

Because of the different angles, Zhu Youxiao and Xiong Tingbi focus on the long-term and overall situation, and adopt a relatively balanced strategy and tactics between preserving strength and eliminating the enemy.

The middle and lower-level generals are more looking forward to military merits and promotions, and it is normal for them to not consider far-reachingly.

In fact, there is no need to worry that Jiannu will not attack after arriving at the city. Don’t you know what they are doing?

It is even more impossible to siege. The logistics supply line has been lengthened and wants to get supply from the rear, but the Houjin does not have the logistics capabilities.

The food and supplies transported with the army can support at most half a month, or even shorter. The only way for Jiannu to solve the problem is to conquer Ningyuan or Juehua.

Judging from the current situation, although the surface of Juehua Sea is frozen near the shore, it is not frozen, and it is almost no longer the target of Jiannu.

Therefore, attacking Ningyuan was the only choice for Jiannu. If the last strong city set up by the Ming army outside the pass was eliminated, not only would the material resources and food, but the situation in Liaodong would also change.

In the Jingli Mansion in Ningyuan City, Xiong Tingbi finished eating dumplings, but there was no drop of wine. After dressing neatly, Lao Xiong strode out and took dozens of personal soldiers to inspect the city defense.

There is absolutely certainty in sticking to it. The problem is to kill as much as possible to damage the enemy, and to damage its troops, which will help the siege and blockade arranged by all sides.

So, Lao Xiong had a plan. Simply put, he couldn't beat Jiannu and even gave them some hope.

Moreover, how to fully utilize the power of the Red Barbarian cannon, preferably killing and injuring the big leader of Jiannu, is also a question that needs to be grasped.

To put it bluntly, hiding the killer weapon first, or launching a tug-of-war with the enemy on the position, so that Jiannu would continue to invest and suffer continuous casualties, which is the goal that Lao Xiong wants to achieve.

The snowflakes are still falling sparsely, which is not annoying, but rather makes people feel refreshed.

There is only a thin layer on the ground, and the city wall is also inlaid with silver edges. Walk up the city and look outwards, and you can see the trenches and the straw sheds covering the roof.

"Sir." Huang Degong, who was on duty, stepped forward and bowed to salute. "The last general has just finished the inspection. The officers and soldiers are all very good. They just wait for the battle with Jiannu tomorrow."

Xiong Tingbi nodded, with a smile on his face and said, "There may not be a battle tomorrow. The Donglu first arrived at the city and had to build siege equipment. Without two or three days of preparation, he would never be able to attack the city."

"But our army must not relax its vigilance." Xiong Tingbi said again: "You have done a good job, inspection is indispensable, and supervision is also indispensable."

Huang Degong bowed to take the order and accompanied Xiong Tingbi to patrol the city.

"When the Eastern Barbarians arrive, they must first cut off the Shanhai Avenue and set up a large camp in the north of the city." Xiong Tingbi pointed and said, "I don't think it will be siege from all sides, but will focus on one side."

"Attack the north first?" Huang Degong stared at his eyes and guessed: "Why would you dare to ask the lord to call the last general to defend the north."

Xiong Tingbi smiled and said, "You can't hand over the north to you, and Jiannu wants to attack, so it should be in the northeast and northwest directions. Because they will think that the defense of the Jiaotai should be weak."

This is a conventional siege tactic, and Ningyuan is not a strict bastion. Jiannu will most likely attack according to this routine.

"If there is progress in the siege, and the Donglu don't know that there are red cannons on the top of the city, they may not move forward." Xiong Tingbi stroked his beard and sneered, "As long as the cannon is within the range, they will catch them off guard."

Huang Degong didn't understand very well and asked, "Do you want Jiannu to attack the city? Wouldn't the defense system outside the city be given up?"

Xiong Tingbi smiled slightly and said, "Only by giving up some positions a little, or by attacking and defending, can the Donglu continue to invest in their troops and fall into repeated battles with our army. With grenade carts and grenades, Jiannu is not an opponent of our army in the battle for positions?"

Huang Degong understood a little and said, "Master Jingli is very smart. If he beats him hard all of a sudden and Jiannu will no longer dare to attack, we will be in vain."

"If this battle can be killed and returned from a crushing defeat, I may not be able to recover within half a year." Xiong Tingbi narrowed his eyes and said, "Next year, the Donglu may force the Donglu to retreat to Liaoshen. Our army can also go forward to Dalinghe and Jinzhou to form a greater restraint on the Donglu."

Huang Degong nodded vigorously and said, "This time I can't get it, Jiannu's life will be even more difficult. When our army reoccupied Guangning, Jiannu will probably be over."

Xiong Tingbi smiled and returned to Guangning to form greater suppression of Jiannu with the Dongjiang Army. This was indeed his strategic idea.

By retreating and stabilizing the position and then restoring Guangning, it really means a major turning point in the situation in Liaodong, and it is also an obsession that Xiong Tingbi has never forgotten.

This obsession was deeply planted in Xiong Tingbi's heart since he abandoned Guangning. He must fight back and throw it away from someone else, and he must take it back with his own hands.
