The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep.

It doesn't matter what ethnic group Mangui is, but he grew up in the border areas and is quite familiar with the scenery of the grassland (he often cuts his head to earn rewards), but he doesn't know that there are these famous quotes that have passed through the ages.

The naturalized cavalry he led were all grassland men and were used to the scenery, but when they saw it again, they all felt a little emotional.

The two thousand dragon cavalrymen are quite new to this. They are all Han men and they are all excited and novel in the grassland.

Since Yang Guozhu was transferred, Fan Hualong became the leader of the Dragon Cavalry Battalion.

In order to increase the combat power of the Ming army, Xiong Tingbi continued to expand his cavalry. Mangui's cavalry battalion and Fan Hualong's dragon cavalry battalion both reached 5,000 troops.

During this expedition to Korqin, only half of the two cavalry dispatched, while the other half went forward to Guangning to carry out other combat missions.

Hu Dawei rode his horse from a distance, and he skillfully hiked in, put the wild flower in his hand, rode back again and ran to the front, laughing happily.

Man Gui also grinned, smiled twice, and joked: "It's just a show of riding, but it's not that great to pull wild flowers."

As he said that, he took out a silver dollar and threw it in his hand twice, saying, "Stop this on the ground, if you can pick it up, you will be yours."

Hu Dawei blinked his eyes, looked at the grass again, scratched his head and said, "If you throw it away, you may not find it in the grass, how can you pick it up?"

Feng Ruhu was laughing and laughed: "General Man is teasing you, don't be fooled, don't be fooled."

Man Gui smiled, put away the silver coins, pointed at him, and said, "What is An An's son's name? Why are he always wandering around?"

Hu Dawei smiled indifferently and said, "He is jealous of our armored swords. He discussed with someone in private and wanted to exchange it for a good horse."

"I don't even look at it." Man Gui shook his head and said, "Now exchange, will you let you rush into battle with your paws?"

Hu Dawei shrugged and said, "Only the five tribes of Neikhalka, the Zarut tribes sent troops to assist in the war. After the war, he could give him a set of armor and weapons, right?"

Feng Yuhu didn't say anything, looking at Man Gui, and his approval was quite obvious.

Man Gui pondered for a moment and said, "Then you go and tell him that if the battle goes well, it's okay to give him a set of armor and weapons. Let him not always surround our troops."

Hu Dawei laughed twice, rode his horse away, and headed straight for Nuuk, the son of Ann, the leader of the Zarut tribe.

Man Gui turned as fierce as a tiger and asked, "According to the training level of our army, if we encounter Jiannu cavalry and fight head-on, what is the chance of winning?"

He was as fierce as a tiger and smiled and said, "If the troops are equal, our army will win! Even if Jiannu is twice our army, the victory or defeat will be between 55."

Man Gui laughed twice and said, "Well, it's the same as someone's judgment. In addition, the more than 10,000 Mongolian coalition forces will have some effect even if they are not good. In this case, Jiannu can still win by fighting for tens of thousands."

Thousands of naturalized cavalry not only have excellent armor and weapons, but also instructors sent from the Beijing camp for training. Because most of the naturalized Mongolians were superb in riding skills, practicing cavalry wall tactics can be said to have twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, due to the short training time, the cavalry wall tactics of these thousands of naturalized cavalry are not more skillful than those of the Jingying.

But generals such as Man Gui and Hu Dawei were already very proud, believing that their troops and Jiannu were fighting, and they were sure to win, and were eager to create the first victory of the Ming cavalry battle.

The first time, the one who is always the most respectable and famous is the one who is the Guangning Defensive Battle, which defeated Jiannu's combat attempt for the first time, causing him to return in vain, and immediately became a great victory and was known to everyone in the court and the country.

In fact, it was just defending the city and had no initiative in combat. However, for the Ming army, which had been defeated repeatedly, it was an important turning point in boosting the morale of the army.

After Man Gui finished speaking, he was not sure, and asked again: "I haven't seen the drill in Jingying. What do you think we are still missing?"

Meng Ruhu thought about it and said, "The equipment is not bad. As for riding, we have to be stronger; but the skill of cooperation and the adjustments during collective charge are still a bit lacking!"

Man Gui was about to speak when he found that the Jinyiwei Qianhu Ma Chengfei had come over, so he quickly closed his mouth and signaled his eyes to the fierce like a tiger.

The Jinyiwei, the emperor's personal soldiers, Ma Chengfei or the emperor sent back to western Liaoning again, must have received the secret decree of long live. Who dares to disrespect and who is not afraid of fear?

…………………………………

Guangning.

The cavalry troops that came forward conducted a test, but Jiannu did not take action, and the cavalry also opened alerts along the Liao River, preparing for the subsequent troops' continued operations.

Now, Xiong Tingbi personally led 20,000 infantry to Guangning and completed the task of advancing from western Liaoning.

After more than a year, the Ming army re-occupied Guangning City. Although it was already devastated, the strategic goal was achieved, which marked a new stage in the Liaodong War.

The important Liaodong town abandoned from my husband's hands has returned to my husband's hands today and returned to the embrace of the Ming Empire.

Although it was the emperor's will to abandon Guangning, Xiong Tingbi was still resentful.

Although the restoration of Guangning City did not go through fierce battles, which was equivalent to taking over, Lao Xiong still had to come in person and ended his obsession with a sense of ritual in his heart.

After Nurhaci suffered a crushing defeat in Ningyuan, he led his army to retreat and demolished all the cities. Jinzhou, Daling River and Guangning were all demolished.

However, the upgrade of the Ming army's weapons and equipment and the changes in tactics made the city wall no longer an indispensable facility for the Ming army's defense.

The overlapping arrangement of trenches, wooden piles and barbed wire mesh is not only small in cost and fast in speed, but also more than enough to block Jiannu's attack.

Jiannu demolished the city walls and set fire to the houses in the city. However, the snow was thick in winter, and many houses in the city survived and became the ready-made residence of the Ming army.

The 20,000 Ming troops took turns to construct the construction, and within a few days, the construction of the defensive positions and the repair of the houses in the city were basically completed. Whether it was an officer or a soldier, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Compared with a year ago, the troops stationed in Guangning have been greatly reduced. However, the improvement of weapons and equipment, as well as the quality and will of officers and soldiers, is more certain to resist the attacks of several times the Jiannu.

Xiong Tingbi knew that 20,000 infantry guarded Guangning and wanted to continue attacking, but his troops were still insufficient. However, if he wanted to increase his troops in large quantities, he was a little short of logistics supply.

As a key place for garrisoning food and supplies in Guangning, Youtunwei is naturally close to the sea and has relatively convenient transportation. From Youtunwei to Guangning, he can only rely on land, which is both high and labor costs are also high.

Therefore, when it is impossible to collect local transportation for civilians, it is almost the limit to Guangning's 20,000 troops stationed.

What's more, there are cavalrymen, and people eat horses and chew them, and their daily consumption is also quite amazing.

Xiong Tingbi roughly calculated that it would take hundreds of thousands of dollars to advance from Ningyuan to Jinzhou and Daling River; then rebuild the Youtun Guard and advance to Guangning, without a million dollars, it would be difficult for the Ming army to stay in garrison for a long time.

Thinking of this, the old bear grinned. He shook his spending thoughts and stepped onto the fortress and continued to inspect the city defense fortifications in Guangning.

The city wall was demolished, but it was not thorough. The city foundation was even more difficult for Jiannu to completely destroy in the cold weather, and the fort was built on the basis of the city foundation.

There were no red cannons, but the number of artillery was enough to make up for it. There were more than 100 Ming dynasties with a range close to that of the Red Cannons.

Standing on the fortress one meter above the base of the city, Xiong Tingbi held up a telescope to look out. The periphery was lateral trenches and chest walls, and light artillery was also equipped to bombard the invading enemy at close range.

"I'm afraid the artillery will not be used." Xiong Tingbi put down his telescope and expressed satisfaction with the city defense. He also sighed, "Jiannu has been suppressed from all sides, so it is difficult for him to concentrate his efforts to launch a large-scale move."

Since Guangning has already stationed heavily in defense, it is different from a small fortress. If Jiannu wants to attack again, it will be impossible to succeed without tens of thousands of troops.

As the Liaodong governor, Xiong Tingbi knew more and more thoroughly about the situation on the Liaodong battlefield.

Last year, when Dongjiang had not opened a town, Mao Wenlong fled to the island with a large number of Liao people; last year, southern Liaoning was still in the hands of the Later Jin Dynasty, and there was no restraint from the current Ming army; last year, the military and political affairs of Guangning area were still the idiot Wang Huazhen in charge...

If the Ming army had not yet gained a foothold in Guangning, Xiong Tingbi was still worried and worried. Now, he hoped that Jiannu would attack again.

Unfortunately, Jiannu probably knew that he had no choice but to take the initiative to attack Guangning.

After Xiong Tingbi sighed, he slapped the cannon hard and said, "Fortunately, this cannon is not too heavy and can be equipped for infantry use. Moreover, this is a field cannon."

Zhu Mei looked at the cannon and said, "I thought it was still too heavy, and it was not easy to move in Liaoze."

"Where is winter?" Xiong Tingbi smiled slightly, stroked his beard and turned his eyes to the east.

Winter has always been the time for Jiannu to launch, but the situation is gradually reversing, and the ever-increasing Ming army is not unable to take advantage of the freezing period to take the initiative to attack Jiannu.

On the surface, the Ming army reoccupied Guangning, which means it was restored to its state last year. Even the surrounding fortresses had not yet been firmly occupied, which was not as good as the situation in Guangning last year.

However, after the grand strategy arranged by all parties was launched, the war in Liaodong was no longer limited to western Liaoning, nor to the Pi Island of Dada and Dongjiang headquarters, but should be a comprehensive and comprehensive assessment and judgment.

Moreover, the emperor's methods were quite clever. At least for the time being, he had won over the Chahar tribe and the Neikhal tribe, which provided another way for the counterattack of the Ming army in western Liaoning to avoid Liaoze.

Last year, Jiannu was able to quickly break through the Liaohe defense line, first of all, the cold weather, and secondly, he was traveling in a straight line, crossing the Liaohe Taku from Huangniwa, with a very fast speed, which was beyond the expectations of the Ming army.

The Liaohe River was outside the Liaodong Great Wall and was a nomadic activity area for the Mongols. The emperor wooed all Mongolian tribes, which created favorable conditions for the Ming army to travel through the passage.

The generals who followed each other looked at each other and laughed at each other. The victory of repeated battles also enhanced their confidence. Therefore, they did not have any fear or concerns about taking the initiative to attack.

Furthermore, although Liao Town and Dongjiang Town are friendly forces and cooperate with each other, are there no competition in the psychology of the two armies?

Who doesn’t want to make more contributions or greater contributions, who doesn’t want to be promoted to a marquis, who doesn’t want to be happy, remember their name and contributions?

The rider rushed forward and flew to the front. The rider turned over and got off the horse, knelt down on one knee, and put the bamboo tube on both hands, "Sir, Liaonan urgently reported."

When Xiong Tingbi heard the word "Liaonan", his eyes flashed, as if he had guesses. He quickly got off the fort, received the urgent report, and opened it to read it.

It was indeed his guess that Liu Xingzuo was successful anyway, and Zhang Ke, the general of the town, led more than 20,000 troops to enter southern Liaoning.

Now, Fuzhou is taking over without a fight, and the Ming army is continuing to expand its results. It will join the Ming army in Lu to attack the two red flags of Daishan.

After pondering for a while, Xiong Tingbi decided to take another action to support the military actions in southern Liaoning.

……………………

Gaizhou Acropolis.

The flag on the top of the city has been changed, marking another victory for the Ming army.

If Fuzhou and Jinzhou were added, the Ming army had almost occupied the three guards in southern Liaoning, leaving only one Haizhou guard.

Of course, Fuzhou and Gaizhou only occupied the Acropolis, and the surrounding villages and towns have not yet completely fallen into the hands of the Ming army.

Despite this, He Zan completed the task more easily, and the Liu brothers led the way and persuaded surrender to surrender played a huge role.

Under the brutal rule of Jiannu, people's minds are clear. And the Ming army continues to win, and the situation changes are also indispensable to the Liao people.

He Zan stood on the top of the city and watched the Liao people who were constantly coming out of the west gate, dragging their families and carrying carts to carry loads, heading west.

To the west is Lianyun Island, which is very close to Gaizhou Acropolis and is separated from the land by narrow sea water. According to the plan, the liberated Liao people will leave by boat and go to Luda University.

To be precise, it is not enough to place Liao people in Luda. It should be the entire Jinzhou and some areas of Fuzhou, mainly Changsheng Island and Xizhong Island.

The defense line that was originally located in South Guam will advance to the Xinjin, Luangu Pass and Hongzui Fort.

More than 100,000 Liao people will not only be the main force in farming and production, but will also provide tens of thousands of soldiers to the Ming army.

Others may regard it as a burden, but Zhu Youxiao must try his best to protect them, regard them as the main force in the eradication of Jiannu and the development of the Northeast.

"After all the people moved away, our army withdrew from the Gaizhou Guard and set up defense lines on the south bank of Qinghe River." He Zan withdrew his gaze and said to Liu Xingzuo: "If Jiannu came out of Liaoshen, it would be difficult for our army to defend the Gaizhou Acropolis alone."

Liu Xingzuo's eyes swept over the somewhat mottled and damaged city wall, nodding in agreement: "Gaizhou Wei has been disrepair for a long time, so it is indeed not advisable to stick to it. It is better to leave an empty city for Jiannu. I guess Jiannu will not send troops to guard it, so it is still ours."

His mentality has stabilized, and Liu Xingzuo is basically sure that not only is he and his relatives not in danger of life, but he is also likely to be reused beyond imagination.

The two red flags that occupied Fuzhou and Gaizhou, rescued more than 100,000 Liao people, and may also severely damage Daishan's two red flags. This is a great contribution.

But Liu Xingzuo did not know that the Ming army advanced to Guangning and attacked Korqin. The Dongjiang headquarters occupied Zhenjiang and launched all directions, which caused the Later Jin Dynasty to fall into a great passive state.
