"Using attack instead of defense" will not only be the combat strategy of Liaodong, but also the style of the entire Ming army.

Building a fortress and passive defense is no longer suitable for the form of war. To be precise, it is not suitable for the emperor's idea of ​​war.

Flying cavalry, spear cavalry, and mobile artillery will be the main components of the Ming army, and will become the sharp swords to attack the enemy and the spears to destroy the enemy.

It is more accurate to guard the border rather than guard it, or to expand the border instead.

Always maintaining an enterprising spirit is the deep meaning that the emperor will eventually want to understand the generals of the Ming Dynasty, including officials and the people.

Mao Wenlong bowed and expressed his sincere gratitude to Xiong Tingbi, which was from the bottom of his heart.

Obviously, Long Live is still hesitating, and the commander of the Liaodong Ming Army has not been finally confirmed.

Although the probability of choosing Mao Wenlong is very high, it is not impossible for him. If the answer is not good when answering memorials or meeting the saint, the emperor is likely to be able to choose someone else.

Xiong Tingbi was not polite and received a gift calmly.

In the important areas of Liaodong, a general who is familiar with mountains, rivers, geography and understanding the situation of Jianlu is indeed in charge. In his mind, Mao Wenlong is still relatively suitable.

"Liaodong is in ruins, and it is where the new policy is implemented and it is fully utilized." Xiong Tingbi stroked his beard and said, "The governor of Liaodong has been settled in Liaoyang; the command center of Liaodong Military Region is in Shenyang."

Mao Wenlong heard another big news and asked, "I wonder who the governor of Liaodong is? When will he take office?"

Xiong Tingbi smiled and said, "Sir Mao doesn't have to be nervous. It means long live to set up a yamen in different places. They are not subordinate to each other and have clear responsibilities. But long live to elevate the status of a military man, and this cooperation between civil and military forces and unity is also a matter of proper purpose."

"That's it, that's it." Mao Wenlong breathed a little relieved and nodded repeatedly.

By using culture to control military affairs, the governor is the highest military and political chief. He was previously under the jurisdiction of the governor of Dengzhou, but Yuan Keli basically did not interfere in the military. Now that the court has appointed the governor of Liaodong, Mao Wenlong is really worried that it is difficult to get along with.

Of course, the premise of worry depends on the meaning of Long Live. Who is the commander of the Liaodong Military Region, but it has not been finalized yet!

As for Xiong Tingbi, he was both a martial arts officer, a Jinshi, a civil and military talent, and a great achievement in pacifying Liao. It was a foregone conclusion that he was promoted. It was really not something that a commander of the Liaodong Military Region could be rewarded.

"The middle of winter is approaching, and military deployment must be done well, so that the soldiers and the people of Liaodong can have a good New Year." Xiong Tingbi said in a pondering manner: "For the time being, the defense line will shrink back. Now the transportation of food and supplies is already difficult, and it will be even more difficult when the river is frozen."

Mao Wenlong nodded in agreement and said, "There is basically no possibility of Jianlu making a comeback. Jianzhou will not be stationed for the time being. There is also Liaobei, so there is no need to station too many troops."

"The northern part of Liao must station a cavalry." Xiong Tingbi reminded: "Hudun Rabbit sends troops to attack the Neikalkha tribe, and may affect Liaobei. This is a mixed force that transforms into naturalized flying cavalry and Liaoxi gun chairs!"

"The naturalized flying cavalry is thoughtful." Mao Wenlong hurriedly said, "Because it was a civil war between the Mongols, it was more appropriate for naturalized cavalry to intervene."

"The Jianlu fled north, and the Mongolian tribes were complicated and they should be broken by cleverness." Xiong Tingbi reminded: "Long live to keep the noble leaders of the Korchin tribe, and they should also be divided and disintegrated, with far-reaching plans!"

The position of Liaodong is destined to be uneasy. The obedience of the Mongolian tribes is due to material reasons and the force of the tiger piercing rabbit, which is quite complicated.

Xiong Tingbi just warned Mao Wenlong not to just stare at the Jianlu who fled north, and to be careful of the changes in the Mongolian tribes.

"Long live the wise and magical martial arts." Mao Wenlong hurriedly bowed to show respect.

The iron hooves rumbled on the frozen land, gunfire, shouts of killing, and neighing of war horses echoed over the snow in the wilderness.

The Ming cavalry took a detour to pursue and finally caught up with Jiannu on the third day. The food, grass and supplies carried by the army were enough for the return journey, and this was the last battle for the Ming army to attack the enemy.

Although Jiannu abandoned the jars and jars, he did not leave the house without permission.

You have to bring a tent, and you have to take the iron pot and bedding. You can’t throw away the remaining food, right? There are gold, silver and wealth that are tightly sealed and cannot be spent.

Therefore, although Huang Taiji and Du Du delayed their efforts, the Ming army spent more time on the detour, but they still bit Jiannu's tail.

Jiannu should have expected such a situation. How could he block the Ming army for one to two days with just a few thousand troops from Huang Taiji and Du Du?

When the Ming army was chasing, Jiannu's rear team immediately set up a formation and fought with the Ming army. More than 10,000 Jiannu cavalry, with the will of death, desperately preventing the Ming army from pursuing.

Behind them are relatives, family members, friends of the tribe, the elderly, weak, women and children, and the hope for the continuation of the Jianzhou Jurchens.

The way of heaven is good, but retribution is unhappy.

Once upon a time, the vicious Jiannu raged in Liaodong, killing many Han and Liao people, how many families were destroyed, and how many elderly, weak, women and children died in the wilderness.

Kill, kill, kill! Both the enemy and us have red eyes, and the soldiers on both sides are boiling blood. Life is ignored at this time, and it disappears without a trace in an instant.

The spears led by Fan Hualong, Kong Youde and He Kegang all dismounted and formed a formation to fight in the field, and assaulted from both wings with fierce muskets.

Cao Wenzhao, Zhou Yuji and Mangui led the flying cavalry to storm on the battlefield, sweeping away the enemy cavalry with a team of 100 people, fifty people, and thirty people.

Yue Tuo was injured, and Sahalian was also injured and fought again.

As soon as they fought, Jiannu suffered a defeat in the cavalry's battle. He had to form a formation in the main road, using the corpses of vehicles, branches, people and horses as barriers to launch an offensive and defensive battle with the Ming army.

Arrows were like raindrops, and lead bullets were like pours. The enemy and us fought with long-range weapons. The tragic people without guns and swords were cruel, but they still splattered with flesh and blood, and the battle was tragic.

The cavalry commander Jialonga, Chamahai, and the guardian sergeant Suma were killed; the deputy general Mengtan, dismissed deputy general Bulu, Bei Yuduobei, and Goli was killed; the cavalry commander Bahari, Zhengbai Banner Ahani, Zhenghuang Banner Auxiliary Baojintai, Heshuo'er attached Zhenglan Banner Saltai, and the second-class light charity commander Menggetu was killed...

"It's just death!" Yue Tuo no longer wanted to listen to the casualties report, roaring and waving his sword to boost morale.

Sahalian gritted his teeth, not knowing whether it was pain or anger. He was all the Great Jin warriors, who had experienced many battles and had great achievements, and today they were all here.

Looking at the Ming army from afar, the iron cavalry was strong and there were tens of thousands of people. Even if all the troops of the Jin Dynasty were assembled to fight, they would not be able to change the final failure.

The elderly, weak, women and children who have lost the protection of the army, and ordinary people cannot survive in remote places in the west of the sea.

"It's just death!" Sahalian yelled, fully understanding the meaning of the brother's words.

When the Ming army's light cavalry was chasing, the food and supplies they carried should be close to their limit. As long as they could delay for a while, their tribe members would have more hope of survival.

"go ahead!"

"Open fire!"

The Ming army's musket battle formation was like a monster, spitting out the flames of death and approaching fiercely and ruthlessly.

Boom, boom, boom...

The light artillery carried by the Ming army finally arrived at the battlefield. The artillery turned around and bombarded at a distance of fifty or sixty meters from the enemy, and shot the rain-like lead bomb at the enemy.
