Jin Shuai smiled slightly and tossed the shoulder armor back with a disdainful look, thinking to himself, "Wearing such heavy armor, they're practically walking tanks. This kind of heavy armor is basically ineffective against bows, arrows, swords, and spears. But the armor's weakness is also very obvious; it's most vulnerable to heavy blows. Throwing a stone weighing about 10 kilograms might not kill them, but it will cripple them. I wasted so many rockets. Next time I fight them, rockets and stones will be enough to give them a hard time."

Then he slightly parted his lips and asked in a calm tone, "Commander Tian, ​​Commander Jin, assuming that aside from all our advantages, the enemy and our forces are exactly the same in this war, and if you only have infantry, how many effective methods can you devise to deal with those fearsome Iron Falcons? If you only have cavalry, what strategies will you adopt? Furthermore, if your army is composed of cavalry and infantry equally, what ingenious countermeasures do you have in mind?"

After hearing Jin Shuai's rapid-fire questions, Di Qing and his generals fell into deep thought. Jin Tai paused briefly, then replied, "Reporting to the commander, if our army currently consists only of infantry facing the enemy, given sufficient time, we can consider constructing trenches to hinder the enemy cavalry's charge; setting various traps to catch them off guard; using caltrops to restrict the movement of their horses; deploying tripwires to disrupt their attack rhythm; erecting massive wooden spikes as defensive fortifications; and simultaneously using catapults to attack the enemy. As for the situation with only cavalry, since our army lacks heavy armor, we should fully utilize our speed advantage. For example, we can use incendiary devices and other items to conduct harassment tactics, avoiding close-quarters combat as much as possible."

Jin Shuai nodded slightly in agreement, and then Tian Qi chimed in, "Reporting to the commander, if we have the cavalry and infantry coordinate their attacks, we can use this strategy: first, send out cavalry to harass the enemy, attract their attention and disrupt their formation; then, cleverly lure the enemy into a trap that our infantry has set up in advance. In this way, we can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop." After saying this, Jin Shuai smiled with satisfaction and nodded again in affirmation of his idea.

Upon hearing this, Jin Shuai burst into laughter, praising, "Haha, not bad, not bad! You can all put what you've learned to good use! Although the Iron Falcons have amazing defensive capabilities, their weaknesses are also obvious. After successfully capturing this city, take a short rest, and each of you will lead 1,500 men to begin your conquest! As for the rear support, leave it to me. I will do my best to ensure logistical support so that you have no worries."

However, Di Qing and the other generals were completely bewildered after hearing these words. They were seasoned veterans of the Western Xia campaigns, intimately familiar with the fearsome Iron Falcons. Over the years, they had suffered heavy losses and countless defeats against the Iron Falcons. So why did this Commander Jin seem to possess so many methods for dealing with them? One of the generals, unable to contain his confusion, earnestly asked, "My lord, we humbly request your guidance and a detailed explanation."
