"The path to attack Jianzhou is here." Gou Zhenhuai's instruction point was at Gushan Fort and extended to the east. "The Military Information Department has sent people to investigate repeatedly, so it is enough to pass the cavalry."

Mao Wenlong said slowly: "I led a large army to station in a wall fort and Weizi Valley, revealing the banner and restraining the enemy of the Crow Falcon Pass."

After the actual combat test, it is necessary to explain what tactical style the army is most confident in, and there is no doubt that it is relying on its position to defend.

Trench, chest wall, Luzhai, fence, barbed wire, plus muskets and cannons.

Whether it was the Ming army in southern Liao, western Liao, or the Liaodong, they all believed that when food and ammunition were sufficient, they could withstand three to four times the enemy's attack.

In other words, the commander Mao Wenlong led the army of the three associations to stand firm and was confident that he could resist at least 50,000 Jiannu.

So can Jiannu draw 50,000 troops now? According to the analysis and judgment of Mao Wenlong and others, unless Liao Chen is abandoned, there will be no such force.

Moreover, the Ming army in Liaodong is not an isolated combat group. It has been connected with the Liaonan Legion, but it is just two attack directions, and can fully obtain effective reinforcements.

In fact, although Dongjiang Town’s military strength is not as strong as that of Liaonan Group, Mao Wenlong and others believe that after Dengzhen’s troops are strengthened and they fight with all their might, Jiannu will not be afraid even if he comes to him.

In the vast land of Liaodong, Jiannu's defense was already stretched and the defense line also showed many flaws. Jianzhou Guard was only one of them. Dongjiang Town could also leave Fengcheng, advance to Lianshan Pass, and jointly besiege Liaoyang with the Liaonan Corps.

However, in the military discussion chaired by Yuan Keli, neither Xiong Tingbi nor Mao Wenlong agreed with this combat plan.

It seems safe, but it is the least efficient. It cannot effectively utilize the width of the region and pulls Jiannu's troops, making it difficult to deal with it.

Therefore, Dongjiang Town continued to take action against Jianzhou Wei. Moreover, it could also use its own military strength to attack Jiannu, the two banners of Ajige and Dudu, even more fiercely.

Gou Zhenhuai continued to arrange combat plans. In addition to the various Ming troops entering Jianzhou Guard, Mao Chenglu's troops who had already headed north along the Yalu River would also receive reinforcements.

In other words, a whole army of troops will enter Jianzhou Guard from the northeast. Let’s see how the Jiannu of the two flags resist?

This is really an action of the entire army. In addition to the two associations in Dengzhen, the two associations in defense of Phoenix City, Zhenjiang and other important places, the five associations in Dongjiang Town were all released (Zhang Pan's troops have been replaced by the newly-edition association), and 40,000 troops besieged Jianzhou Wei, and they were determined to win.

"After receiving the order, each department prepares immediately and starts an action in three days." Seeing that Gou Zhenhuai had finished the arrangement, Mao Wenlong stood up and bowed, and said in a deep voice: "This time, my Dongjiang Town will be the first contribution to the pacification of Liao, long live the victory to the court."

As he said that, Mao Wenlong glanced at the generals, narrowed his eyes, and added again: "I won't say much, you also know that military law is ruthless. My Dongjiang Town has been in nothing and has been receiving the emperor's kindness for a long time. This time it is time to repay the death. Should you win a wife and a son or a military law? Do you understand?"

Crash, Crash! The armor sounded, and the generals stood up one after another, bowed and said with a sigh: "I am afraid of death and would not be a soldier. The Hadith is above. The last generals will never fear the enemy and fear death."

"Okay." Gou Zhenhuai smiled with his palm and praised: "I only have heroes who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield and were wrapped in horses and corpses, but there are no cowards and soft men who escaped in a panic."

"As long as we are not afraid of death, the soldiers are brave, what are the things Jiannu is afraid of?" Kong Youde was reluctant to put out the cigar and yelled.

Mao Wenlong smiled, his words were rough but not rough, that was such a simple thing.

Leading ahead is indeed the only way to boost morale and morale. Of course, soldiers also have to have a full meal, and it is best to have hatred.

Since the war has ended, the Ming army in Liaodong has indeed had the strength to decide the outcome with Jiannu.

Even if the advantages of weapons and equipment are not considered, the tens of thousands of Ming troops with sufficient food and salary are mostly Liao people who have hatred with Jiannu, and they can fight against Jiannu.

……………………………………………….

In southern Liaoning, Tashanpu and Xiong Tingbi are in charge here, which is equivalent to the front-line command center.

He set up a table of incense, led the generals to visit the capital, and celebrated the emperor's birthday. Lao Xiong also did the same thing as Mao Wenlong.

After the ceremony was over, Xiong Tingbi returned to the command center, the Military Information Department came to report. According to the latest information, after mobilization, the Jiannu from Liao Chen showed signs of being dispatched.

"I think the old slave will come all over to seek success." Xiong Tingbi was not surprised by this and asked the Military Information Department to continue to collect information. He summoned all the generals to prepare for the war.

Before the generals arrived, Xiong Tingbi wrote a letter and ordered people to send it to Gaizhou to inform General Yuan. Then, he laid paper and picked up a pen, and wrote a secret memorial to the emperor.

"The old slave will inevitably make a big move before the food and supplies are exhausted and fight to the death with our army. This is a magical plan for the long live..."

The old bear grinned, feeling that it was a bit like that, but this was right, long live to expect it. Or, most people would make such an analysis and judgment, including officials of the Ministry of War and General Yuan.

If you don’t start, you just sit and wait for death. When the Ming army gets closer and closer, and when there is a shortage of food and supplies, you may not even have the basic conditions for starting.

As for what lure the enemy into the depths and what defeats them one by one, the Ming army obviously did not give Jiannu a chance, and the actual situation would not allow it.

In fact, the Ming army crossed the Haicheng River did not rush to attack the city, but set up camps and surrounded the Haizhou Acropolis step by step.

This style of fighting left the two red flags of Yuetuo and Jiergalang unavailable. Several cavalry harassment could not pose a threat to the Ming army, and was also afraid of the deep groove barriers of the Ming army, which was almost useless.

Seeing that the Ming army was advancing steadily to the Haizhou Acropolis, they continued to build camp fortifications along the city, and slowly they wanted to surround the city.

Nurhaci, who was far away in Shenyang, finally decided to take action, but this was already a success for Xiong Tingbi's plan. While trying to shorten the supply line, he launched a decisive battle with Jiannu.

The slow and firm advancement and gradually surrounding the sea city was the fighter that made Nurhaci feel that there was a turning point.

Since ancient times, the most taboo thing in besieging cities is to be attacked by inside and outside. Xiong Tingbi believed that Nurhaci would see this and would probably come to rescue the siege when the Ming army siege was formed.

In Nurhaci's view, if two thousand Jurchen soldiers and thousands of Han troops were stationed in the city, the Ming army would definitely suffer losses if they wanted to capture the strong city, and it would be difficult to break through in a hurry.

When he led the army to arrive, it might be when the Ming army was stuck in a strong city and was stranded and exhausted. A counterattack with internal and external cooperation should taste the long-lost victory.

But what Nurhaci didn't know was that when the Ming army formed a semi-encirclement of the city, Haizhou City was already broken.

Times have changed, and the methods of attacking cities have also been different. In addition to the artillery that directly bombards the city, there is also a way to break the city, which was the first attempt by the Ming army.
