Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Liaozhen needs to guard against the attack of the Eastern Tartars. Dengzhenjinzhen should be no problem. Lord Yuan and Lord Bi will definitely support it. General Zhang is also good at naval warfare."
Although he said this, Mao Wenlong felt that the troops of the Four Coalitions were enough to stir up trouble in southern Liaoning and force the Jiannu to return to rescue.
But Chen Jisheng didn't finish his words. He insisted on his own strategy and continued, "I believe that defending Jeonju is too long, but defending only the city will deplete the enemy's forces. Please allow me to lead 4,000 troops, build fortifications, store supplies, and defend Yiju City alone. I am confident that I can achieve a victory comparable to that of Port Arthur."
So that's it—Mao Wenlong stroked his beard, looked at Chen Jisheng, and then looked at Gou Zhenhuai.
Chen Jisheng was prepared to fight to the death, without any need for rescue from friendly forces, and would fight the Jiannu to the death in Yizhou City.
According to the casualty ratio of Fort Lushun, and the current enhancement of weapons and equipment, four thousand troops can at least defeat tens of thousands of Jiannu, right?
Gou Zhenhuai chuckled and said, "Brother Chen, your loyalty and bravery are commendable, and I admire you greatly. But in my opinion, defending Yizhou is not as good as defending Tieshan. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides and faces Pi Island directly. We can attack the Jiannu from both sides and make them suffer a crushing defeat."
Iron Mountain County is located on the Iron Mountain Peninsula on the western coast of North Pyongan Province. To the east, west and south are the West Korea Bay, and to the south are the Pancheng Islands including Pi Island.
From a geographical point of view, this place is similar to the Lüda area. Although it is not as narrow and long, and does not protrude into the sea as much, the landing of the navy can still pose a great threat to the invading Jiannu.
Mao Wenlong smiled and nodded, saying, "General Gou, this is a brilliant plan. General Chen, the defense of Tieshan County City will be left to your troops."
Chen Jisheng bowed and accepted the order. Although defending Tieshan was a bit conservative, it was also convenient for transporting food and supplies and storing ammunition. Mao Shuai and Gou Zhenhuai were taking care of him. As a second best option, he had no major complaints.
Moreover, this is just one of the strategies to fight the enemy.
In Sinuiju and Iron Mountain, the necessary fortifications must still be built. If the Jiannu come with fewer troops, directly resisting or taking the initiative to attack are also possible tactics.
