Chapter 50 Liaozhen in action

Although Liao Town retreated to Ningyuan and Juehua, it was very likely that it would become the target of Jiannu's offensive this winter, and weapons and equipment will naturally be given priority in supplying equipment.

More importantly, there was an emperor who wanted to be in front of everything. The hawk gun was just started to be manufactured on a large scale, and Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong received the emperor's instructions through secret memorials.

Using a small number of eagle guns in the army, Liaozhen began the selection and training of eagle gun musketeers in advance.

Similarly, Dongjiang Town also received instructions before the eagle gun was transported to train a group of soldiers, and basically completed the preparations for the musketeers.

In order to reduce the transportation pressure of ammunition and drug supplies, earth kilns were built in Liaozhen and Dengzhen to fire the sand pottery shells of Tianlei.

Such adjustments allow the weapons and gunpowder bureau of the capital to send craftsmen to provide granular gunpowder and fire-emitting devices to assemble and manufacture on-site.

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

In terms of manpower and military personnel, the Ming Dynasty had an absolute advantage. If the materials were sufficient, the blockade and siege were blocked and siege were combined with frequent harassment operations, the process of dragging down Jiannu would be greatly shortened.

The continuous increase in Liao Town's strength has also led to more active combat visions gradually gaining the upper hand.

Boom, boom, boom!

The roar of the eagle gun kept ringing and echoed over the training ground.

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

If the previous use of the eagle gun required a first-class and strong body, it is now competent for those in moderate conditions.

Several generals also stepped forward to test the shooting, and then gathered together to discuss and discuss.

"The eagle gun is so powerful that it is very passive just waiting for Jiannu to attack. Even if the geographical location of Jinzhou is not conducive to reinforcements, it is still an enterprising spirit to stay in Songshan, Xingshan and Tashan first!"

Huang Degong, who had just graduated from martial arts, has become a guerrilla player and has some complaints about the current passive defense strategy of Liao Town.

Zu Dashou looked at Huang Degong and felt that this guy was a little arrogant and enterprising, which was obviously not in line with the court's strategy of stabilizing western Liaoning and consuming the Eastern Barbarians!

The city defense and fortifications in Ningyuan are like iron walls, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are as solid as gold. When the Eastern Barbarians come to attack, they will be safe and secure.

Besides, because the imperial court's financial resources were limited, in order to reduce the logistics burden, the Liao Town's troop was only 60,000 at the moment.

Ningyuan had 25,000 people, Juehua was 8,000, Shanhaiguan was 24,000, plus the three thousand cavalrymen who came out of Jinzhou.

With such troops, there is more defense and insufficient offense. If you occupy more cities, forts and villages, you will always feel that you are weak in division of troops.

Seeing that everyone's reaction seemed not very enthusiastic, Huang Chuangzi stared at his big eyes and said, "I have three thousand soldiers and horses, enough ammunition, and can garrison in Songshan, which can stop tens of thousands of Jiannu."

Jin Guofeng smiled and said, "General Huang's bravery is not to doubt. But I think that if I want to take the initiative, I will probably have to wait until next year."

Raising his hand to stop Huang Degong, Jin Guofeng continued: "The weapons and equipment are not sufficient, and the training of soldiers is still short. The key is that the court's finances are tight. If there is a ease next year, it will be the time to change the strategy."

Zu Dashou nodded in agreement and said to Huang Degong in the tone of his senior: "Huang Chuangzi, don't just look at western Liaoning, only Ningyuan. Haven't you been to the southwest with the observation group, and don't you know that the court is fighting two wars?"

"How can I not know?" Huang Degong shook his big head and defended himself: "It is because of the high cost of fighting two wars that I want to solve the Donglu as soon as possible!"

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

Many officers who entered martial arts were confused and confused, and they didn't know why the emperor valued himself, who was a low-ranking official, and Huanglong was an example.

But who wouldn't cherish such an opportunity?

Every time the officers sent from martial arts are summoned by the emperor, and they hold a banquet for farewell, and they are eagerly looking forward to it. This makes them even more grateful and makes outsiders look up to them.

Hearing that the family wanted to help him, Huang Long couldn't help but smile bitterly and said in a pondering manner: "The Jiannu is in a powerful field battle, while the She'an rebels rely on the right territorial position, and they cannot be impatient for it. Although the musket is fierce, it is greatly affected by the weather, and it is not a powerful tool to win every battle."

Huang Degong rolled his eyes, but he also knew that Huang Long was right. There was such a teaching in martial arts, and he had a profound analysis of the shortcomings of the mesh rope gun.

He felt a little unwilling, and Huang Degong muttered, "I think it's better to go to the Dragon Cavalry Camp, and it's better to fight Jiannu."

Someone smiled and changed the topic, talking about how to decorate the iron mask, which made it look more fierce and mighty, and everyone expressed their opinions again.

At this time, the Dragon Cavalry Camp, which was envied by Huang Chuangzi, had already stepped forward to Jinzhou and became Ningyuan's outpost troops together with Mangui's Flying Cavalry Camp.

If it is just a garrison in Jinzhou or early warning, the forward departure of the two cavalry units is of little significance.

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

Since we want to give full play to our respective strengths, the Flying Cavalry Camp is responsible for inviting battles and seducing the enemy, and chasing and killing the defeated enemies.

The Dragon Cavalry Camp is responsible for ambushing, killing and injuring the enemy with muskets, breaking up the enemy's formation, causing chaos, so as to facilitate the charge and counterattack of the Feiqi Camp.

"It's too dangerous and not ambushing it." Yang Guozhu stopped to observe the horse and shook his head to deny it.

The guard Fan Hualong was a little puzzled and asked, "Sir, aren't we going to ambush the enemy?"

Yang Guozhu smiled and explained: "The ambush is right, but it may not be necessary to rely on the danger. Think about it, if you can see the danger at a glance, how dare Jiannu be careless? How can he successfully ambush?"

Fan Hualong nodded suddenly and said, "That's true. If you want to take the opportunity to attack him, you must make the enemy careless and relax your vigilance."

Yang Guozhu glanced at Fan Hualong with appreciation and said, "The musket tactics are not high, and the trench chest wall can also play a role on the flat ground."

As he said that, he stretched out his finger to the distance, "The official road I just walked past is lined with low hills and dead grass, which is pretty good."

Fan Hualong agreed and led more than 100 cavalrymen with Yang Guozhu, and then returned to observe and survey carefully.

"I heard that the Beijing camp also wanted to send troops to Liaodong to participate in the war, which was similar to the dispatch of troops to the southwest to suppress the rebellion." Fan Hualong asked while commanding the soldiers to put flags on the flags.

Yang Guozhu nodded and said, "Not this year, I will come to Liaodong in 100% next year. Not only Jingying, but also Jinzhen, we will often draw troops to train instead of fighting and increase practical experience."

Fan Hualong guessed: "This is accumulating strength in secret and preparing to give Jiannu a heavy blow, right?"

Yang Guozhu smiled and said, "Our Liao Town and Dongjiang Town are two swords that go straight to Jiannu; while Deng Town and Jin Town are sharp arrows that are waiting to shoot at Jiannu's key points."

Fan Hualong smiled and said, "It is easy to hide from open guns, but it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows. The court's arrangements are very powerful. Once activated, Jiannu will definitely be caught off guard."

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

Yang Guozhu didn't dare to be very sure whether the orders changed every day and whether they were shaking. He also knew the key point, but he just didn't dare to say it clearly.
