Chapter 228 Liao Town in Action

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

More importantly, there is an emperor who thinks ahead in everything.As soon as the large-scale production of eagle guns began, Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong got the emperor's instructions through secret music.

Using the small number of eagle guns in the army, Liaozhen started the selection and training of eagle gunners in advance.

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

In order to reduce the transportation pressure of ammunition materials, earthen kilns were built in Liaozhen and Dengzhen to fire the sand pottery shells of Thunderbolt.

With such an adjustment, the Weapons and Powder Bureau of the capital only needs to dispatch craftsmen and supply granular gunpowder and ignition devices for assembly and manufacture on the spot.

It seems to be to save shipping costs, but in fact the effect is very significant.The reserves of weapons and ammunition on the front line are increasing day by day, and they are more and more capable of continuous combat.

In terms of manpower and soldiers, Daming has an absolute advantage.Once the supplies are sufficient, the blockade and siege coupled with frequent raids and raids will greatly shorten the process of dragging down the establishment of slaves.

The continuous strengthening of Liaozhen's strength has also made more active combat ideas gradually gain the upper hand.

Boom, boom, boom!
The roar of the eagle gun continued to sound, echoing over the training ground.

The improved buffer device is very effective, as can be seen from the soldiers' reactions.

If it was said that the first-class physical fitness was required to use the eagle gun before, now the middle condition can also be competent.

Several generals also stepped forward to try shooting, and then got together to discuss and discuss.

"Eagle guns are so powerful, it's very passive to just wait for Jiannu to attack. Even if Jinzhou's geographical location is not conducive to reinforcements, it's still a sign of aggressiveness to hold on to Songshan, Xingshan, and Tashan first!"

Huang Degong, who has just graduated from martial arts and returned to Jian, has been promoted to guerrilla, and has some criticisms about the current passive defense strategy of Liaozhen.

Zu Dashou looked at Huang Degong and felt that this guy was a bit floating.It is still aggressive, which is obviously not in line with the imperial court's strategy of stabilizing western Liaoning and consuming eastern captives!
The city defenses and fortifications of Ningyuan are like iron walls, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are impregnable.Waiting for the Eastern captives to come to attack and kill them with leisure, how safe it is.

Besides, because of the limited financial resources of the imperial court, it was also to reduce the logistical burden.The number of troops in Liao Town is currently only [-].

There are 5000 people in Ningyuan, [-] in Juehua, [-] in Shanhaiguan, plus [-] cavalry from Jinzhou.

According to this kind of force, the defense is more than enough, and the offense is not enough.If you occupy more cities and fortresses, you will always feel that your troops are divided and weak.

Seeing that the reaction from the crowd seemed not to be enthusiastic, Huang Chuangzi stared wide-eyed and said, "I have three thousand soldiers and horses, enough ammunition to garrison Songshan, and they can stop tens of thousands of Jian slaves."

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

Raising his hand to stop Huang Degong, Jin Guofeng continued: "There are not enough weapons and equipment, and the training time for soldiers is still short. The key is that the imperial court's finances are tight. If it eases next year, it is 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 just look at Liaoxi and Ningyuan. Didn't you go to the southwest with the observation group, and you don't know that the court is fighting two wars?"

"How can someone not know?" Huang Degong shook his head, and argued, "It's because of the high consumption of fighting two wars that someone wants to solve Donglu as soon as possible!"

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

Many military officers who entered martial arts were rather dazed and confused. They didn't know why the Holy Majesty would take a fancy to himself, who was a low-ranking official, and Huang Long was an example.

But who would not cherish such an opportunity?

And every time the military officers sent from the martial arts, the emperor personally summoned them, held a farewell banquet, and looked forward to Yin Yin.It makes them even more grateful, and makes outsiders take a high look.

Hearing that his family wanted to pull him to help out, Huang Long couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said in a deep voice, "Jiannu is powerful in field battles, while the She'an rebels rely on geographical advantages, so they can't be rushed. Although muskets are fierce, they are greatly affected by the weather. It is a weapon that can win every battle.”

Huang Degong rolled his eyes, but he also knew that Huang Long was right.There is such a teaching in martial arts, which has a profound analysis of the shortcomings of the matchlock gun.

Feeling a little unwilling, Huang Degong muttered: "I think it's better to go to the Dragon Riding Camp, because it will be more enjoyable to fight Jian slaves."

Someone changed the topic with a smile, and talked about how to decorate the iron mask to make it look more fierce and mighty, and everyone expressed their opinions again.

At this time, the Dragon Riding Battalion envied by Huang Chuangzi has already moved forward to Jinzhou, and together with Mangui's Flying Riding Battalion, they have become Ningyuan's outpost troops.

If it is only for garrisoning Jinzhou, or for early warning, the forwarding of the two cavalry units is of little significance.

According to Xiong Tingbi's vision, the Dragon Riding Battalion and Flying Riding Battalion carefully surveyed the dangerous places from Jinzhou to Ningyuan, and selected several places as the scheduled battlefields.

Since they want to give full play to their respective strengths, the Flying Cavalry Battalion is responsible for inviting battles to lure the enemy, and chasing down the defeated enemy.

The Dragon Rider Battalion was in charge of ambush, killing and injuring the enemy with muskets, and breaking up the enemy's formation, causing chaos so that the Flying Cavalry Battalion could charge back.

"It's too dangerous to ambush." ​​Yang Guozhu stood on his horse to observe, shaking his head in denial.

Guard Fan Hualong was a little puzzled, and asked, "My lord, don't we want to rely on danger to ambush?"

Yang Guozhu smiled and explained: "Ambush is correct, but relying on danger is not necessarily the case. Think about it, if you can see the danger at a glance, how dare Jiannu be careless? How can you successfully ambush him?"

Fan Hualong nodded suddenly, and said: "That's true. If you want to catch the enemy by surprise and catch him unprepared, you must make the enemy paralyzed and relax his vigilance."

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

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the distance, "The section of the official road that I just walked through is lined with low hills and dry grass, so it looks good."

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

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

Yang Guozhu nodded and said: "This year will not be possible. Next year, nine times out of ten, I will come to Liaodong. Not only the Beijing camp, but also Jinzhen, will often transfer troops to use combat instead of training and increase actual combat experience."

Fan Hualong guessed: "This is to accumulate strength secretly, and prepare to deal a heavy blow to Jiannu?"

Yang Guozhu said with a smile: "Our Liao Town and Dongjiang Town are two swords that go straight to Jiannu; while Deng Town and Jin Town are sharp arrows waiting to shoot at Jiannu's vital points."

Fan Hualong chuckled, and said, "It's easy to hide from open spears, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. The imperial court's arrangements are very powerful. Once it is launched, Jiannu will definitely be caught off guard."

Yang Guozhu looked to the south thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice: "As long as the strategy of 'Four Directions' remains unchanged, within a few years, Jiannu will be wiped out."

Yang Guozhu didn't dare to be very sure whether the order was changed from day to day or whether it was vacillating. He also knew the key point, but he didn't dare to say it clearly.
