Chapter 203: Female Soldier, Charge

There is nothing worth saying about three consecutive battles, and the routines are all the same. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

First set up a round of naval heavy artillery bombardment, and then asked the enemy if he surrendered, although the servant army was all soft eggs, and they were soft when they were scared, but the Jurchens in the city supervised them and did not allow them to surrender, so this stage generally ended quickly.

Next, the navy's heavy artillery took the lead, round after round of continuous bombardment, and the walls built during the Joseon Kingdom were so fragile that they could all collapse in less than a day.

Next, there was the street fighting, and the vast majority of the casualties of the Xuan army appeared at this stage. The newly formed troops that did not have the combat equipment of the regular army of the Xuan Army did not receive combat training from the Xuan Army system, so they always made a lot of mistakes in the process of attacking, resulting in casualties.

In addition, the discipline of the newly formed army was corrupted, and many people were caught and killed by the military justice team to deter these soldiers, so this battle became a combat operation with the heaviest casualties since the formation of the Xuan army.

Although there were many casualties, the Xuan army was still very happy that the combat mission was successfully completed and the predetermined goal was achieved.

However, in this operation, a large amount of gunpowder was used to break through the frozen offshore sea surface and collapse the three city walls, so the logistics and ammunition supply of the Xuanjun detachment along the way was a bit problematic.

For this reason, after capturing the entire logistics line of Houjin, the Xuan army also temporarily stopped its movements and did not continue to attack north.

During this time, the situation there in the three forts was also relatively stable, Chen Xin transferred many militia squadrons from the rear to supplement the front line, and his wounded were also escorted to the rear by the female soldiers of the armed guard force to recuperate.

For the sake of these wounded, there were also several fierce exchanges between Houjin and Xuanjun.

After Houjin's sentinels got the news, they informed Sukh Saha, and Houjin also wanted to shake the hearts of the Xuan army by intercepting the wounded, so Houjin sent a cavalry team of 3,000 people to brave heavy artillery fire to rush through the passage between the two sides of Fort No. 1 and Fort No. 2 and Fort No. 3.

Chen Xin was not clear about the enemy's purpose, but he could not let the enemy's large force of cavalry flow to the rear, which was one of the basic goals set a long time ago.

As a result, a total of 15 heavy guns that had been idle for a long time inside the three fortresses opened fire fiercely together, directly fighting the cost of the barrels being scrapped, directly cooling the barrels with cold water, and constantly firing.

After the enemy cavalry passed through and counted the numbers, it was found that less than half of the 3,000 cavalry remained, and the artillery inside these three fortresses was really terrifying.

There are so many heavy artillery, and the most frightening thing for these Jurchen cavalry is the 75mm rear-loading rifled gun, which represents an extremely fast rate of fire, and rifling represents accuracy and range.

The role played by such a cannon is comparable to the results of 10 10-pound naval long-barreled heavy guns.

The remaining Jurchen cavalry passed through the passage in embarrassment, not daring to stay close, and under the leadership of the sentinel, they went straight to the wounded barracks that were still slowly marching towards Yiju.

Because of the strong mobility of cavalry, in this era, only cavalry can deal with cavalry.

After obtaining the advance route of 1,500 Jurchen cavalry from the Eagle Falcon, the staff officers immediately began to make a map, and after calculating on the map, everyone agreed that this group of remnants was going for the wounded soldiers.

After receiving the information that the Houjin cavalry was heading towards the wounded soldiers, Chen Xin urgently dispatched more than 500 people from the remaining four ranger companies that were cruising around the neighborhood and hunting down the Houjin sentinels, and urgently gathered to rush to the wounded soldiers' camp.

Of course, 500 cavalry was far from enough, so about 1,000 female cavalrymen with their own mounts who had been drawn from the armed alert force also received combat orders again.

These two groups of cavalry, plus the 1,000 infantry of the armed guard force responsible for escorting the wounded battalion, and the two squadrons of militia temporarily transferred from nearby villages, Chen Xin finally put his mind at ease.

"It's really aggrieved, it's because the enemy has a lot of cavalry that we chose the current battle plan, but we still let 1,500 Jurchen cavalry run over."

"The situation is already very good, fortunately only 1500 cavalry ran over, if the enemy sees our weakness and ignores us, he will directly press the whole army and rush to our hinterland, at that time there are defenses everywhere, and there are loopholes everywhere. That's called grievance. ”

Chen Xin listened to the whispered conversation between the two staff officers, and sighed in his heart, he would be able to execute the final battle plan immediately, he didn't expect such an accident, if he had known earlier, it would have been better to let the wounded soldiers recuperate here, although the environment was a little harder, but it was safer.

Chen Xin clasped his hands together and prayed in his heart, "My soldiers of the Xuan Army are blessed by the spirit of heaven, and there will be no more moths in the rear march, just wait quietly until the detachment completely captures their logistics line." ”

The next day, Chen Xin received a battle report that the Jurchen cavalry had been routed, and about 500 Jurchen cavalry had fled.

When the battle occurred, the Xuan cavalry had not yet arrived, and the enemy raided the Xuan infantry array, causing some casualties to the Xuan army, and then 1,000 female cavalry of the armed alert force rushed to the scene first.

These female knights rode all kinds of horses, donkeys, mules and other mounts they brought from home, and in the face of the ridicule and rain of arrows of the Houjin cavalry, they rushed to a place 30 meters away from the enemy cavalry, and fired a very neat salvo with two-year-style arquebuses, which broke the morale and will to fight of this Jurchen cavalry on the spot.

When the opposing cavalry was in chaos, the female soldiers fiercely threw away the arquebus, pulled out the sabers issued at their waists and rushed up to fight hand-to-hand, the enemy had no choice but to retreat, the female soldiers pursued the enemy cavalry all the way for 15 kilometers, until the rangers took over the pursuit task, and then collected their knives and returned to the camp under the order of the officer.

When the hedgehog-like female soldiers of the armed guard force returned to the camp, it caused a huge sensation.

In this battle, the fierce style of the female soldiers of the armed guard force was also familiar with the Xuan army system, and with the word of mouth of the rangers, militiamen, and wounded soldiers of various units who participated in this battle, everyone had a further understanding of the fierceness of these female soldiers.

Since then, the old fritters in the Xuan army have almost disappeared from the cases of molestion and harassment of the armed guard troops.

The Xuan army also suffered casualties of 7 rangers, 209 women of the armed guard force, and 59 militiamen, of which a total of 27 were killed. The rest of the wounded are mostly out of danger due to the large number of doctors and nurses in the wounded barracks, and are on their way to move with the wounded barracks.
