"General, the scouts report that the wild boar skin is already thirty miles away." Li Guangrong came to Xiong Tingbi and said.
After hearing this, Xiong Tingbi just nodded slightly.
Then he turned to look at Li Guangrong and asked directly, "Have those who need to withdraw already withdrawn?"
"Don't worry, Marshal, everyone has retreated here." Li Guangrong nodded and said, "After clearing the countryside, there are not many people here anymore, so there is no need to worry about the enemy eating us. Unless they bypass Shenyang City and go back." Li Guangrong said with a smile.
Xiong Tingbi nodded, and he was confident about this.
If the enemy wants to bypass Shenyang City, they must be careful that the Ming army may attack their base.
As long as Shenyang City was not taken, Yezhupi dared not make any moves. Whether it was to attack east or west, they did not dare.
"Then pass the order and tell them to get ready," said Xiong Tingbi.
In the afternoon, Xiong Tingbi could already see the boar-skinned cavalry through the binoculars.
These people galloped around Shenyang City, but they did not dare to get too close, otherwise the artillery on the city would open fire, which would be enough to cause them a lot of trouble.
When the sun was setting, Wild Boar Skin's army also arrived and set up camp ten miles outside the city of Shenyang. They really couldn't get too close.
Once they had camped at a distance of five miles, but were destroyed by artillery fire. Since then, they have withdrawn their camp to a distance of ten miles.
After looking through the telescope for a while, Xiong Tingbi put it down.
"Marshal, do you want us to lead our troops and charge?" Li Guangrong looked at Xiong Tingbi and said, "While they are still unstable, we should charge them and teach them a lesson. This will let them know how powerful we are and boost our morale."
Xiong Tingbi glanced at Li Guangrong with a helpless expression on his face.
Obviously, Li Guangrong's words represented the attitude of many people in Liaodong. To put it bluntly, they wanted to fight a war.
With so much equipment, so much training, and so much food and pay, their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
Under such circumstances, these people want to make achievements, want to go out and fight, and want to prove their own strength.
But Xiong Tingbi knew that he absolutely could not go out to fight. The reason was very simple: he could not afford the cost of failure.
If we don't go out to fight, the worst that can happen is that morale will drop a little, but there won't be any big losses.
If I go out and fight, if I am defeated, Shenyang City might be lost. If Shenyang City is lost, then my mission will not be completed, and my sin will be great.
According to Wang Zaijin, once Shenyang and Liaoyang were lost, the situation in Liaodong would be a mess.
So Xiong Tingbi shook his head and said, "We can't go to war."
"Marshal, this is an opportunity!" Li Guangrong said quickly.
Xiong Tingbi shook his head. "Since you know it's an opportunity, don't they know it's an opportunity?"
"Look at their formation, it's so loose, and they're so lackadaisical when they're setting up their barracks. Is this the level they should be at?" "After fighting them so many times, don't you know their strength?"
"Look at what they have now. How can they be compared to their former strength? They are just trying to lure the enemy out of the city and fight them."
"Once we leave the city to fight them, there will definitely be troops coming from behind to attack us, and ambushes will be set up all around us. By then, we won't be able to return."
"If outsiders don't rescue, the morale of the city will plummet. If we force a rescue, it will likely cause problems for Shenyang City. None of us will be able to bear the blame then."
Seeing Xiong Tingbi's serious tone, Li Guangrong hesitated and couldn't help but look outside.
As he watched, Li Guangrong felt that what Xiong Tingbi said made sense, so he turned to Xiong Tingbi and said, "The Marshal has a keen vision and far-reaching plans, which is really beyond the reach of my generation."
Glancing at Li Guangrong, Xiong Tingbi nodded and said, "Tell them there are plenty of opportunities to kill the enemy. We must kill the enemy at all times, but we cannot fall for their tricks. Otherwise, it would not be killing the enemy, but suicide."
"Yes, Marshal." Li Guangrong agreed and hurried down to pass on the order.
Xiong Tingbi breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he said this not because he really saw it.
He only saw part of it, and the rest was just his nonsense, which was, of course, a guess.
In Xiong Tingbi's view, if the other party wanted to defeat him or capture Shenyang City, the only way was to lure him out of the city to fight.
As long as he went out of the city to fight, the enemy would have a chance to capture Shenyang. Apart from this, there was no other way.
If he were to attack Shenyang City, he would have to use this method.
Lead the army out of Shenyang City, then fight outside the city, take advantage of the defeated army's retreat to attack and directly capture Shenyang City.
If they stormed Shenyang City, they would be filling it with human lives. Xiong Tingbi didn't believe how many lives Wild Boar Skin could afford.
In the camp outside the city.
Nurhaci stood on the hill and looked at the city of Shenyang.
Looking at the tightly closed gates of Shenyang City, the swords and guns standing on the city walls, and even the black muzzles of the guns, Nurhaci's face turned ugly.
I'm afraid we will fail again this time.
After a moment's silence, Nurhaci said, "It seems the Ming army has no intention of leaving the city."
"This Xiong Tingbi has truly become a coward," Daishan, who was standing next to Nurhaci, said angrily, "Ever since Xiong Tingbi arrived in Liaodong, all the Ming army's strategies have changed. We need to think of a solution."
