The staff officer's words calmed the whole room for a moment, and everyone realized that what the staff officer said was right. Liu Pei thought carefully for a long time and said, "The staff officer's opinion is right! If I were Dorgon, I would not guard every city! Because he knew that their artillery was not as large as ours, not as powerful as ours, and not as far away as ours! So let me guess the idea of ​​the General Staff!"

When everyone heard Liu Pei speak, they held their breath and looked at Liu Pei. Because Liu Pei had hardly missed it over the years, they established the image of an almost perfect leader.

Liu Pei pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, Dorgon knew that the navy would definitely not be our opponent, so he just hoped that the navy could defeat some of our troops, or hoped to be higher. They were counting on a near-shore guerrilla war and raiding our baggage fleet. If it didn't work, it didn't matter if it was all sacrificed! Because I guess that this navy was basically full of Han people, and only a small number of the Eight Banners soldiers were supervising the battle! Because the Eight Banners soldiers had never been in contact with water wars, they were not good at it at all! This can be confirmed by their attack on Juehua Island on the ice."

The staff officer immediately said: "Yes, the news I got is indeed like this! The main composition of the Qing army naval division should be Han military flags. Some of them were Han people from Liaodong, and the other part were Dengzhou naval soldiers who fled during the Kong Youde Rebellion."

Everyone immediately looked at Liu Pei with respect, and the general made a clear judgment. Liu Pei smiled proudly and continued: "Dorgon's second part should be to send Mongolian cavalry to harass us along the way! These Mongolian cavalry are cannon fodder compared to the Eight Banners soldiers! So, they will use the Eight Banners soldiers to drive the Mongolian cavalry to fight. And the entire battle will continue until we approach Shenyang City! After approaching Shenyang City, they formally meet with the remaining cavalry and swim around Shenyang to look for fighters! And now Dorgon must have built more than one camp outside the city, and it will be time for the decisive battle there!"

The officer of the General Staff said in admiration: "The General's guess is completely correct! Dorgon built two earthen cities outside the city! It is very solid according to the visual observation. It is initially estimated that the city wall is 1 zhang behind, and He and Shenyang

The city wall is almost the same! It’s just a little lower in height.”

An officer sucked the teeth and said, "This battle is not easy to fight!"

Liu Pei said: "Don't worry, let's go step by step and solve the problem of harassment along the way first. You can speak freely and discuss it."

As soon as Liu Pei finished speaking, the whole room was filled with noisy sounds. Everyone was expressing their thoughts. The first way to deal with it was to use cavalry against cavalry!

But this idea was directly rejected by Yang Jingfa! He said: "Everyone, we can't do this at all! The reason is very simple. The enemy's purpose is harassment and raids, that is, the premise of other people is harassment, and raids will be carried out when there is a chance! So once our cavalry meets them, they will escape. If we chase after them, they will lead our cavalry to a suitable place to fight! On the 27th, the enemy's cavalry was much more than me. Once surrounded, we can't get it!"

Fan Hualong said, "Then we can drive them away and come back!"

Yang Jingfa said: "Things are not that simple. The cavalry tactics are actually very complicated. If we tie the cavalry around the surroundings of a large group of people, it would be like putting a bridle on the war horses and losing the biggest advantage, that is the mobility! At that time, we would lose the war horses and manpower under the repeated attacks of the Qing army, and the soldiers and war horses would be tired. Even if we arrived at the city of Chenyang intact, we would not be able to cultivate in three or five days!"

At this time, a staff officer said, "How about the chariot formation? If the Qing cavalry attacks, we will use the chariot formation to defend."

Before everyone could express their opinions, the logistics officer took the lead and said: "This is impossible! We don't have enough big trucks to surround the entire team! The most important point is that our troops are almost pure firearms, and they need too many medicines. The big trucks are full of Yiran Pin. If they are shot with a few rockets, it will be huge! Moreover, we don't carry a lot of supplies at any time, and only have to use them within a few days. The rest must be provided by sea! So we must reduce unnecessary losses. You must know that our food is only five days.

Carrying volume, if we have to fight every day, we have to approach the coastline and seek fleet supplies, which would be a lot of trouble!”

An officer said: "We infantry can deal with cavalry! Place small groups of infantry on the periphery of the brigade. As long as we form a square array and cooperate with dense artillery, we will not be afraid of how many cavalry come!"

An officer next to him said impatiently: "Then do you line up in a square formation when you march? Do you still have to walk? Moreover, the gap between the infantry phalanxes is so large that the opponent's cavalry can freely travel! After all, the speed of the infantry cannot keep up with the cavalry!"

The officers present proposed various solutions one after another, but they were all rejected. But slowly, everyone's voices lowered and they turned their eyes to Liu Pei.

Everyone is familiar with Liu Pei's every move. Judging from his current appearance, you will know that he has gained something in his heart. So they are waiting for him to express his opinions.

After a while, Liu Pei said slowly: "In response to the harassment of large-scale cavalry, a single tactic will definitely not work. We must consider compound tactics."

After saying that, Liu Pei pulled a piece of paper and said while outlining it: "Our infantry's strength is its strong firepower, and both its attack ability and its defense ability are outstanding. The only regret is that the number of our cavalry is far lower than that of the Qing army. Therefore, when we cannot waste the power of the cavalry, we have to rely on infantry to defend against the Qing army's raids. And there is no fixed position in the marching, so we will create a fixed position!"
